TRUE HAPPINESS.

Some think it hardship to work for their bread,
Although for our good it was meant;
But those who don't work have no right to be
fed,
And the Idle are nerer content.
An honest employment brings pleasure and
gain,
And makes us our troubles forget;
For those who work hard have no time to COM
plain,
And It's better 10 labOur than fret.
Ev'n if we have riches, they cannot procure
A happy and innocent mind:
Rich people have troubles as well as the poor,
Although of different kind.
1t signifies not what our station has been,
Nor whether we're little or great
For happiness lies IN the temper acithins
And not IN the ottiasGrd estate.
We only need labour as hard as we can
For all that our bodies may need;
Still doing our duty to Con and to man,
And ace SHAH be happy indeed.

AWFUL OCCURRENCE.

In village not far from Lynn, in
Cheshire, lately lived a man and his
wife, distinguished among their neigh
bours for the singularities of their re-
spective characters. The husband was
covetous, niggardly, avaricious in an
extreme, and always complaining of
poverty: he parted with money to
purchase even the common necessaries
of life, as though blood had been ex-
tracted from his heart andnearly starv-
ed himself, his wife, and her mother,
who lived with them. The wife was
remarkably passionate and when pro-
voked, would pour out the most abom-
Unable wishes and horrid imprecations
against the objects of her vengeance,
particularly against her husband, who
paid her with bitter lamentations and
wo, which agitatcd his whole frame,
whenever any demand was made on his
purse. Accompanied with vollies Of
oaths and curses, she oftentimes rejoic-
ed in theanticipation Of seeing him stiff /;

WHAT DO WE LIVE FOR .
BIZ ALnERro.

WHAT do we live for. Is it to be
The sport of fortunes power
To launch our bark on PLEASURES sea,
And float, perhaps, an hour
To waste our time in idle deans
OF what may be tomorrow
To CLEAN, with care, from present scenes,
The source Of future sorrows
What do we live for. Is it to find
The ties of friendship broken
That loves sound to cheat mankind,
And dies as soon as spoken
To mark the woes on Others hurl'd,
Nor weep their hapless lot
To hate our fellows; curse the world
To die, and be forgot.
No! we were form'd to search for truth,
Through paths made plain by reason
To hail that light IL earliest youth
Which shines fp ev'ry season -
Yes! we were made to win below
The boon hereafter giy'n-
To calmly smile at earthly wo,
And find home in heav'n.

hoped that death would not call at their
house when he was from home, and FREE
quently wished his soul in hell. In this
unhappy state they lived several years;
but both the avarice Of the one, and the
passion Of the other, grew more power
full as they advanced in age, so that the
last twelve months of their lives exhib-f
tied, what has not unaptly been termed,
a shell upon earth"
On the 9th of January, 1921, some
new cause of difference arising between
them, many angry words ensued, con-
nected, no doubt, with the common
aggrayatien of oaths and curses. This
was carried to such height, that the
wife expressed her resolution to leave,
the husband; and on her bidding him
farewell, she declared that she would
never speak to him again while she
lived
Scarcely had she uttered this passion
ate determination, before her speech
was taken from her; and shortly after,
she lost the use Of her right side. In
this safe she continued three DAYS. dur
ing which time little notice was taken of
her, the family thinking that il was
nothing more than fit of suIlenness. Of
which she had previously given several
instances. Finding, however, after this
time had elapsed, that it was probably
something more than hypocrisy could
produce, they sent for doctor, who, on
his arrival, informed them that he fear
ed his assistance was called in too late.
He, nevertheless, advised the husband
to purchase a pint of brandy, and TO get
her to swallow large quantity The
husband, on hearing this, objected. ON
account OF the expense intimating that
half pint would be sufficient, and this
was actually procured; but not until he
had repeatedly declared that he had no
money, and had in vain solicited the
landlady TO give him credit for the a.
mount This circumstance had such an
effect upon him, that on carrying home
the brandy, he retired into the barn.
and, putting cord round his neck. ter
minated his miserable existence. The
day after he was buried, the wretched
woman, who had never spoken after
her resolution, breathed her last, amidst
the most excruciating sufferings5 but
apparently destitute Of all recollection.
On examining the clothes of the un-
happy man, after he was cut down, thew
found in the pocket of his small-clothes.
six notes, and twenty shillings in silver
and the day on which his wife expired.
they discovered twelve notes concealed
in the inside of his old waistcoat The
house was then examined; and ninety
gulneas in gold were brought to light,
wrapped up in probably twenty par
GELS. Some were in old rags, others
tied up IN parer, and part in an old
box, among shavings and other lumber.
This poor wretch has left behind him
upwards of thousand pounds in mon
ey, besides an estate that lets for near
ly forty pounds per annum; which prop-
erty, as he had no children. is cone
among his relations, to be, we hope.
the instrument of new virtues, and not
of additional crimes. We can scarcely
anticipate any thing more awful than
the thought of two such spirits meeting
so suddenly in another world!

MISCELLANY.
.Z.IZZLIZzIS
from the Salem Gazette.]


/" Keep tay heart 1gith all diligence, for out
oft are The issues Of life"
Many and great are the ewoyments of
life, and in youthful mind they are cher
ished with ardent anticipation and fond
indulgence, as incapable of decay
The youth, while gliding smoothly on,
beholds around him new prospects of
pleasure, that greet him with smiles,
and press upon his heels through every
track. He knows nothing of the world-
all that transpires is the same to him:
the present moment is all he knows of
time, which seeks its way unheeded,
but not unblest. He does not look for
ward through long vista of years, and
view the thorhs he is to tread upon, in
search of happiness. He has not yet
learnt that throughout the world, folly
and deception, and igneminy are strew-
ed abroad, with temptations as poison
Gus as they are alluring; but yet he
wishes anxiously for unborn days to
come, counting pleasures and blessings
that will vanish at his grasp. He is not
aware how fast the future is Fastening
on, when he will sigh for The days that
have flown away. Manhood soon comes,
to his surprise and astonishment, and
imagination leads him back, hardly fur
ther than yesterday, when he s. theught
and spake as child" Now, at this new
era, bis mind is busy in arranging plans for
the employment of many years my
riads of objects attract him by their nov
city and splendour, amusing his fancy,
and enraptuFing him with delightA-whiIe
insensible that around them are the pit
falls of destruction. Virtue and vice
are now before him: the former is
occasionally pointed out, whilst the
other, in various forms, and with untir-
ing activity, meets him at every turn
He now sees that every thing is chang
ing, and soon becomes sensible Of his
own flnctuation, and his own weakness.
Day after day convinces him more and
more of the futility of all sublunary
enjoyments; upon which, he is now
willing to look with Indifference, to en-
ter among them with caution, partake
Of them with moderation, and leave
them without regret. But yet the Sc
ducing arts of wickedness may lead him
away captive.
Keep thy heart with all diligence
Let not the whisperings of flattery make
an unhaIlowed impression there, or the
cunning Of an affected friendship win
it from your power.
That is indeed a trofoh knowledge
which profits alike by the folly of the
foolish and wisdom Of the wise it is
both shield and sword. Ii borrows
its security from the darkness, and its
confidence from the light.
1t is a shameful wickedness, common
in trade, to conceal the faults OF height
en- the good qualities Of what one wants
to sell, or to disparage any one article
one has mind TO buy, in order to have
it cheaper. That trader, who cannot
lay his hand ON his heart and say, "God,
who knows all things, knows ! use my
neighbour as | would wish to be used"
isno other, in plain English, than down
night knave.
