souls this strong inclination to perfect
happiness; for this desire is not like
those which we likewise feel, and which,
solely proceed from the deprayity and
corruption of Nature. Now tell me,
whether God would oblige us to desire
an impossible thing9 If the universal
Father had not supplied the world with
one drop Of water, to what end would
he have made us thirst Merely for
the pleasure of seeing us parch without
remedy? No; God cannot act in this
manner and therefore you must either
deny that we possess this innate desire
to be happy in this life, or grant that it
IS possible to arrive at this state. Mi
sano spoke, and was silent.
So. Truly, my brother, answered So
phia, upon due reflection, this desire
after perfect felicity, this sentiment so
lively and general, SO deeply engraven
in our souls, is voice of nature, which,
without consulting our choice, speaks
to the heart and obliges us to make the
search. l have observed that whatever
proceeds from the human will is subject
to change and caprice, and that the
zoorld has neOey agreed on any thing bit
70hat arises from an innate impulse Of
patave.* God, who formed it, is he
whose hand impels, excites, and obliges
us to desire state of happiness: there
fore it is he who, without ceasing, per-
suades me to seek it; and consequently
there must infallibly be, in this world,
the treasure which he urges me to SEX,
with so much earnestness for Nature
does nothing in vain. Ito which Mi
sano answered:
81. In order to know that it was God
who placed this anxious desire within
us, hear what happened to me.-When
my heart burnt most vehemently with
these desires; when this thirst for hap
piness tormented me in the greatest de-
gree; when melancholy preyed in my Boz
som, and reduced me almost to phren-
zy; in this condition divine sentence.

80. In state little short of ecstacv,
Sophia and the count listened to the dis
course of Misano, as of an oracle from
heaven; and having promised him all
the attention which he might require,
were addressed by him as follows:
"a. The great desire which we have
to be happy in life, is sufficient proof
that this state is possible. There is no
thirst SO parching, no hunger so insatia-
bic, as the desire we have for happiness.
The magnetic needle, tremulous, unea-
sy, and restless, reposes not till it finds
the north; now moving to one side, now
to the other, it goes and comes, till it
meets with it, when, only, it becomes
still. What though the pole be afar, at
the very end of the world, covered by
the waters of the frozen ocean, sit
matters not; the needle still looks that
way, however remote the object, and in
steady attention remains absorbed and
fixed, and, without winking, is forever
gazing upon it; and whilst the globe re-
wolves and re-revolves upon its axis, it
never loses sight Of it. 1t is the same,
you know, with the human heart in its
desire of happiness.
IS. But, my friends, whence do we
derive this innate desire Whence, but
from the Supreme Being ?-You know
very well, that it was he who formed
the hearts which he has given us and
doubtless it is he who planted in our

LITERARY FABLES.
The Ant and the Flea.

BONE people have way SO queer,
OF making light of all they hear,
That one is tempted to suppose
They know what any mortal knows.
For when they hear a thing, or see,
However new or rare it be,
they rate 1t low, to save their wit,
Which might be risqued by praising it.
This class of men shall not escape
Ny song of satire, though to shape
a fable for it into rhyme
Cost fourand-twenty hours Of time.
a civil Ant once told Flea,
How much it tax'd her industry
To lay provisions in; the mode stow d;
In which, when gather'd, they were
The manner they their work perform'd 6,
And how they managed when they
swarm'd;
Their factories she next explains
Tells where were lodg'd their different
grains;
Describes what loads they sometimes
carried
What ceremonies, when they married ;
With some minutiae, which to us
Would seem intirely fabulous,
Did not acquaintance with them show
How much the ants-are said to know.
To all the Ant rehearsal, with pride
The silly, simpering Flea replied:
:" understand tits well indeed!
Doubtless know it; yes agreed;
I've seen the same why, declare,
AL, this is neither new nor rare"
The Ant now busting from her cell,
ApPear'd quite vex'd, & cried out swell!
Since nothing l have said is new,
Come, let me see what thou canst do.
Since thou appear'st so much to know,
Pray lend a hand, and kindly show
