THE HALL IND HOVEL.

The two extremes of ordinary life
we're one day thrown before me in a
manner so striking to the senses, that
could not but survey them closely, and
ponder on them often afterwards, in
solitude and among the haunis of men,
and weigh in their light the wisdom of
the world, that has drawn such an i'm
measurable distance between poverty
and wealth, and attached so much in
significance 10 the first, and so much in-
poFtanCe 10 the last.
Circumstances called me to spend a
short season a Hampton Hail. the res
idence OF the HamptoDs, rich and
prosperous family, who lived in all the
Iuxuriance of modern fashion, without
"a want that money could supply, and
far removed from the most distant pros
pect of change of fortune, for the
family wealth consisted 10 extensive
tracts of highly cultivated lands, liter
ally that kind of wealth which, not be-
ing liable to the thousand casualties
which may overtake other species Of
property, may be said TO have no wings.
In the midst Of Incidence and opu-
Ience, the Hamptous drawled away day
after day. The sun heated the air to
an unpleasant degree, and destroyed all
the freshness and fragrance OF the
morning, long before the family were
stirring--iowaFds ten, half a dozen pale
and disconsolate faces assembled at the
breakfast table, and after the usual ex-
clamatious of 6 no appette--no appe-
tite," had passed round the board, few
slices of toast were eaten, little coffee
supped, and then the dishes were push
ed away, and the family speedily disap-
peared, some 10 lounge away the morn
ing on sophia, Others too stroll with
a book on the plazza, and Mr.. Hamp-
ton himself amused those which chose
to follow him 10 the parlor, with Il
string of complaints against the season,
or his laborers, or the prices of produce,
OF his gouly leg, or--but he had an eter-
nal stock, and was plagued with all the
trouble in the world.
About the time that an Industrious
man has finished his hard days work,
the family again convened--they came
bearing about them the effects of a
mornings idleness--weary, dull, and
complaining Of the headache and ennui.
The table was spread with delicacies,
but the want Of exercise produced the
corresponding want of appetite, and 10
vain were the savory dishes spread oqI
in the most inviting order--the moot
delicate fare fails TO restore the LOST

THE WEATHER.


The last winter has plainly demonstrate
ed that the measure of heat and cold
cannot be determined by degrees Of lat
itude, the season of the year, or by local
situation. The steady, even temporal
ture of former winters has, in the pres
ent, been predicted and looked for in
vain. Spring has now commenced, aud
it is worthy Of observation, that the
signs of languor and debility appear
marked upon peoples countenances with
unusual plainness. The hilarity, the
strength, and the elasticity, which used
TO be prodIcediu all by the clear, cold
atmosphere of winter, can be possessed
by none, in seasons like this, but those Of
volatile temper and the most vigorous
constitutions. The nervous system is
affected by the weather, as much OF
more than the muscular. 10 a cold tenn
perature, though its sensibility is dimin-
ished, the intellectual powers acquire
vigor with the increased tone of the
body while tenderness. and those feel
ings connected with an irritable system,
are, in proportion, less acute. The
stomach, which partakes Of the state of
The nerves and moving fibres, experience

less rapid, and performed more perfect

are frequently less active, and the nutrl-
tious particles, by delay, more complete

THE ART OF LIyLNG HAPPILY.


1t would be worth to one, more than
any or even all the arts and sciences, to
learn the art Of Irving happily. do not
mean perfect happiness, which is not to
be enjoyed here; but such "A degree OF
happiness as our Maker has put in our
power. The art of living happily does
not lie in stoical apathy for, as to the
real and sharp affections of life, one
ought ito bear them like man." Nor
does he know the sweets of friendship,
who feels little or no pain at being sun
dered from near friend. Much lees
does it lie 10 the nauseating cup of gross
sensuaity; for the enjoyment of the
mere senualist is no higher than that
Of the pampered horse in the stable or
stud, or the fattening pig in the sty. In
deed, the brute has much the advantage,
as it lives according to its nature and
destination, while the mao is haunted
with aperpelual conscientiousness ofthe
shameful degradation of his moral and
intellectual faculties.
The following maxims, or rules of ac-
ton, might, if strictly Observed go far
TO increase the happiness, or at least 10
diminish the inquietudes and miseries Of
life -
Live constantly in the unshaken be-
lief of the overriding Providence of an
ioiinitely good as well as almighty Be-
ing, and prize his favour above ali
things.
Observe, inviolably, truth in your
words aud integrity in your actions.
Accustom yourselfto temperance, and
be master of your passions
Be rot too much out Of humor with
the world but remember i; is a world
Of Gods creating, and however sadly il
is maIred by wickedness aud folly, yet
you have found in it more comforts
than calamities, more civilities ihan az
fronts, more instances of kindness TO-
wards You than of cruelty,

tone of the stomach-it was useless
trouble--a lost expense. When the
uilnd and body becomes reduced 10 a
certain stale of lassitude, it is difficult
10 rouse them 10 any exertion, and the
majority of the family, instead of giving
the afternoon 10 activity of some sort,
retired TO loll away the time in bed,
while others dressed for visiting or to
receive company. Thus passed the re-
mainder of the day and the evening
found every one in an i'll humor with
something or somebody-the Thousand
little notifications of the day OF week
the tiresomeness of visitors; the weary
space OF time that was TO be endured,
furnished endless themes of complaint.
And when I quilted Hampton Hall, it
was more of pity than envy towards its
inhabitants
= Pnrsuing my tourney towards my des-
tiUa'icn, found myself in few hours
far beyond the abodes Of art and luxu-
ry, traversing a wilderness of deep and
almost endless sbade--and towards even
ing, an accident obliged me 10 take
shelter for the night, in small howell.

the good roman. and two rosy, naxen-
haired gits, were busy at their wheels.
ldleness Seemed unknown there-every
| thing bole the marks of industry and
management, and cheerfulness and good
humor sat upon every face. Two
hours be ore night the woodsman and
his boys tame il and put mp their axes,
having finished their days work the
remainder of the afternoon was spent
in fishing and cunning, in which sport
was he'rtily happy to be partaker.
When we returned, warm supper in
plentiful abundance smoked upon the
table. and never did make more
hearty meal, or, may add, see others
do more Justice 10 the business than did
every one around The table; mirth and
hilarity reigned through the evening,
and each retired TO rest soundly, TIL
break of day, which was the signal for
the cotiagers TO stir, and then they
went whNtling OF singing 10 work, with
heart light and merry.
Thus passed each day at the howell in
the forest Their rude but wholesome
habits and employmen,s kept up the
flow OF health; their spare hours for
amusement were enjoyed with doubl e
zest; they were comfortable content
ed; happy. And | left them with more
Of envy than of pity.
Yet so great is the infatuation cf hu-
man nature, that these poor people
would doubtless have given any thing TO
exchange the peace, contenlment,
wealth, and enjoyments Of their rude
hut, for the splendid misery of Hamp-
ton Hall. And 50 The poor, Instead of
looking downwards to those below, look
ever upwards TO those above, and, never
dreaming that happiness dwells oftener

be great, aud fancy wealth would bring
