INDESTRUCTIBILITY OF ENJOYMENT. Mankind
are always happier for having been happy; so that if you
make them happy now, you make them happy twenty years
hence, by the memory.of it. A childhood past with a duo
mixture of rational indulgence, under fond and wise paroita,
ditluses over the \Thole of a life a feeling of calm pleasure;_
and, in extreme old age, is the very last remembrance which
time can erase from the mind of man. No enjoyment, how-
ever inconsiderable, is confined to the present moment. A
man is the happier for life, from having made once an agree-
able tour, or lived for any length of time with pleasant
people, or enjoyed any considerable interval of innocent
pleasure : and it is most probably the recollection of their
past pleasures, which contributes to render old men so inat-
tentive to the scenes before them ; and carries them back to
a world that is past, and to scenes never to be renewed
again.-•-Sydney Smith.
