THE. BRIEF RE.HARKER.

WE cannot, If we will, make our
selves torpid like an oyster. We must
needs be doing something with our
cAistchces u. ~--'.,re else a Wearisome
load, as Understandable as 4. Is intojera-
BILE. Indeed occupation Of one kind
or another is so necessary to human
quiet, that life itself is hnrdcnsone
without it. For short as life is. there
are but few if any, who never com
plain at heart Of the superiluity of
their time whereas the wights, great
and small. who have nothing at all TO
do, arc, for the most part. perpetuaiiy
uttering this most dolorons kind of
complaint, or at least manifest no
ordinary degree Of restlessncss-being
burthened with their business.
The misery Of idleness is TO be seen
nearly as much in high-liie, as in the
rags and filth ofextreme poverty. In
Europe there are classes of people
who are idle as it were out of necessi-
ty: not that they arc unable to find
employ, but they are unable to find
such employ as they think COMFORTS
with their dignity. Manual labor Of
any kind would degrade them nor
does the condition of their rank allow
them to enter into trade, or even Il
embrace either of the learned profes.
sions. In fact, save those few wlIt
are selected TO take part in the ad
ministration of government, or wht
are placed in high military stations
they are condemned by the exalted
condition of their birth to perpetua
idleness. And what is. the result? /
is, that this very exaltation of birth
which places them so far above al
ordinary business, makes them doubl.
wretched.
"'rhere is scarcely any truth NOR
certain or more evident" says wri
ter who was possessed of a persona
knowledge Of the splendid grou
whose. picture he has deliueated.-
/" than that the noblesse of Europe
are, in general, less happy than tn
common people. There is one IRA
fragibIe proof of it, which is. tina
they do not maintain their own poI
ulation. Families, like stars, or car
dies, which you will, are going o,
continually ; and without fresh II
crnits from the plebians, the nobilit
would, in time he extinct. III yC
make allowances for the state whie
they are condemned by themselves

The anniversary of the birth Oh
WASHINGTON never. passes urA
noticed by those who venerate the
uIlssF. ter OF the man who united all
hearts. In the city of Edinburg, an
elegant entertainment was given, in
celebration of that event. TO the Ame-
ricans pursuirg their studies at the
University, by the venerable Earl OF
Bucllan, the intimate friend and dis
tant relative Of our political father.
On this occasion the noble host wore
a mantle which had covered General
Washington, and made an elegant and
Impressive address. The entertain
ment is annual.
| Earl Buchan was born in f7i2 and
is of the same age with the King OF
England, with whom he was play
fellow. He is said never TO have

ling remarkable Irregularities IN bis

From a late English paper.

Ever sirice mOralists existed they
have written against public manners.
Ours are certainly not those OF the
golden age, but it is some consolation
TO reflect that our neighbors are no
better than ourselves. For instance,
London is generally allowed to be the
terrestrial paradise Of husbands: Eng
|lish wives are regarded as models of
tenderness and fidelity. The follow
ling calculation which we extract from
an English paper. is not little euri-
I0us.
State Of Marriages in London in 1916
Runaway Wives, f,1S2
Runaway Husbands, 2,34s
Married persons legally divorecdl.175
Living in open warfare, 17,s45

standing, 1s,279

This is a new kind of statistics.
I'VE are assured that one Of our first
|moralists is engaged in drawing out
a similar account Of the city of Paris.
1t will be curious to see which coun-
TRY may claim the advantage of the
matrimonial balance.
