Sonnd sense and good advice.

The following short apologize of Sadis
an Asia,ic sage, is full OF valuable instruc-
tion :--"I never complained of my wrcrched
forlorn condition, but on one occasion, when
my feet were naked, and had not where
withal TO shoe them. Soon after, meeting
a man without feet, | was thankful forsihe
bounty of Providence to myself and With
perfect resignation submitted 10 my want
Of shoes"
The true secret of living happily lies in
the philosophy Of contentment, which is OF
infinitely more s4iae than would be the i'm
agined stone of The alcLymist, that tuins
every thing into gold.
II is to be lamented, however, that in this
age Of boosted light and improvement the
philosophy of conlen,men, is very little
studied or regarded From various corlup
ted sources we have learntd d, not to be con-
tented, but dissatisfied with the ordinary
conditions Of life And though neither
shoeiess, ror destitute Of any essential ai,i-
Gle Of rairDent or food, we are ready TO
consume our hearts with vtxation because
we are not seated at the upper end OF for
tunes table. The stmblance of happiness
is more sought after than the reality shew
more than substance The simple plain
ness of former days is oesnised. Plain ap-
parel, plain fare, and plain houses and fur
niture, such as our worthy progenitors
were quite conten,ed wi and very thank
ful for, our fastidious delicacy regards With
scorn, and We must needs be fine and fash
ionable, else pine away our lives IN grief
end shame.
Nor would il be either so alarming, or 50
lamenlable, were ,ais the folly OF only
few. But the worst eff: is, i: has spread,
like an epidemic, over the whole land, and
Throughout almost every. class OF society.
Tens, and even hundreds of thousands,
embracing alike both sexes, are the miser-
able victims of morbid sensibAfty, and
squeamishly dash from their lips the cup
of ordinary comfort they are presented
with, because ii is no. filled 10 the bgim, or
because il is not spiced and sweetened ex-
actly to their taste.
And where lies The remedy 1t is not
within the ar, of the apoihecary, nor in the
power of any nossrums Of partial sfid limi-
ted effect No. the people must be wise
for themselves. The great body Of the
people, coming once more TO their sober
senses, must agree 10 return 10 The plain
frugal, uncostly habits oil o,hsr times and
must strive, with general accord, TO bring
those long discarded habits into fashion
again, and 10 render them HONORABLE % the

As the want of contentment is one of the
most ptievous Of wants that affect human
life, il ought 10 be provided against with
the utmost care, and particularly in the fol-
lowing ways
/. In training up children, scarcely any
thing is Of greater importsce than guarding
them against TOO many artificial wants.
sey TOO many, because Some wants of this
SORT do naturally aud necessarily grow out
of civilization, and il is their excess only
that tends 10 discomfort and wretchedness.
OF that excess the danger is great, inss-
much asthe effects are always deplorable.
What mulliludes al this very moment are
disconnected and wreiched, who might
have enjoyed life comfortably, had they
been early taught to conform their desires
10 their conditions, and to act upon the
principles Of sober and rational economy.
Nor is il OF small importance in training up
children, 10 accustom them 10 useful en-
ploy. A useless life is seldom found 10 be
a contented QUE. Occupation is so neces-
sary 10 human quiet, tina, to bring Up chill
dren in likeness is the way to make them
hurtheit 10 themselves as well as TO com.
muhity.
From this twofold cause, the excess ct
artificial wants and the neglect of forming
habits of useful industry in The early period
of life, there has sprung perhaps full moi
ETY. of the discomfort that secretly preys
upon so many bosoms In short, impor-
tant as il is to teach children reading and
wriling and the use of figures, it is OF still
greater importance TO regulate their tenn
pers, 10 curb their wayward desires, and
to fix them in habits of industry, temper
ance, and srugality, without which the ac-
QUESTION of learning would be but OF little
benefit to them.
2. The self-discipline Of adult age is an
essential prerequisite toward leading and
enjoying a conented life. A well disci-
plined mind studies TO be content, and
most commonly is so. Il attains lis de-
sires by moderating and limiting them, and
thus bringing thein within the comrass OF
It's m cans. 1t accustoms itself TO view
without envy the wealth and grandeur
which fall not TO ITS lot, and which seldom
render their possessors the more happy ;
and TO be satisfied with, and thankful for.
the mere necessary anc common accom-.
modaiions ofthe journey of lie. In short,
II depends much less on Our circumstances,
whether we shall be happy or miserable IN
life, than on our tempers, and our views Of
things. Many enjoy themselves well in
narrow circumstances, becau Sc they bring
their minds to their situations. But when
to narrow circumstances are added large
desires and magnificent notions, it is then,
and then only is 1t, that nnhappiness re-
suits from the want of fortune.

No certainty but death appears,
Why should we waste our vernal wears
In boarding useless treasure
No--let the young and ardent mind
Become the friend of human kind,
And in the generous service find
A source of purer pleasure
Better to live despised and poor,
Than quilts eternal strings endure;
he future smile of God shall cure
The wound of earthly woes.
Vain world did we but rightly feel
What ills thy treacherous charms conceal,
How would we long from thee to steal

Extraordinary Longemiu.

Capt Riley, in his very interesting nara
tive OF his sufferipgs in Africa, mentions the
surprising age, 10 which, be was informed,
many Arabs attained. The following are
his words. This account from an Arab
who was my friend and the preserver of my
life, and on whose veracity could rely, to-
gether with what fell under my own observa
ton, has removed all doubt from my mind on
THAT subject, and am fully of opinion that
hundreds and thousands of Arabs on this vast
expanse of desert, actually live to the age OF
two hundred years of our calendar" Of his
reasons for this belief, one is their constant &C
tiyty and temperance. They never taste
wine or any ardent spirits, being entirely out
of the way of those articles, and they are be-
sides strictly forbidden by their religion"
This fact is sufficient proof of the erroneous
ness Of an idea, that is unhappily too preya-
lent, that spurious liquors are useful TO the
preservation or restoration of health an idea
contradict-d almost by universal experience.
To use language which we have heard em4
ployed on some public occasion, q We know
noi,i ardent spirits ought not TO placed on the
same shelf, with arsenic and laudanum. p
Capt Riley in his narrative, &c. thus des-
cribes some of The oldest Arabs be saw.
= They had lost all the hair from their heads,
boards, and every part Of their bodies, the
flesh Oh them had entirely wasted away, and
their skins appeared to be dried and drawn
tight over the sinews and bones like Egyp-
tians their eyes were extinct, having totally
wasted away in their sockets, the bones Of
which were only covered BY their eyelids
One Of these was reported to be three bun
dred years old"
