THE labor and anxiety, the ente prizes, and
adventures, thar are voluntarily undertaken
in purfuit of gain. are out OLA proportion to
the utility, convenience or pleaiure OF riches. "A
cornpetenr to fatisfy the wants OF nature, TODD
and cloahs. ihelter from the ieafons, and the
comforts of family, may be had for very little.
The daily toll of the million, and of millions OF
millions, is adequate 10 complete inPply OF
thefe necefiities and conveniences. With fuch
accomm odations thus obtained, the appetite is
keener, the digeaion more eafy and psrteet, aad
repofe is more refreihing, than among the mott
abundant opportunities and the rarelt luxnries.
For what realon then, are any mortais averie to
the fituaton of the farmer, mechanic or lahorer I!
WHY do we tempt the fe,s, and encompass the
globe Why do any men affront heaven and
earth to accumulate wealth, which Will forever
be uielefs to them! Why do we Ike an oten-
tatious difplay of riches? Why ihould any man
be proud Of his purfe, houfes, lands, or gardens
Or in better words, why fhould The rich man glo-
~ in his riches What connection can there be,
between wealth and pride The anfser to all
fhele queoions is, beanie richer atya7 The dtfeo
ton, confederation and congyatulation5 Of mankind :
1t is NOT becaufe the rich have really more OF
cafe or pleafure than the poor. Riches force
the opinion on man that he is the object OF the
congratulations of others and he feels that they
attract the compliance of the public. Ills fen
fes all inform him that his neighbors have ma
tural dilpoiton to harmonic with all thoie
pleaiog emotions, and agreeable fen'atlons,
which the elegant accommodations around him
are fuppofed to excite.
His imagination expands, ard his heart d.
lates at thefe charming allulions and his attach
nent to his poieaions increaies, as fat ashs de-
fire to accumulate more not for the purpofes
of bene6cenre or utility, but from the deiire OF
illufration.
Why, on the other hand, Mould any man be
sfhamed to make known his poverty Why
mould thofe who have been rich, ,or educated in
the houis of the rich, entertain iuch an aseriion,
or be agi,ated with fuch terror at the proipeet of
lohng their properly Or of being reduced TO
live at an humber table l.. nieaner honie /?
To walk iniead Of riding ?'Or TO ride without

we hear of madneis, melancholy, and iulcldes,
