The .4rt Of happiness-Aracline
and Melissa are two friends. They are
both of them women in years, and alik e
in birth, fortune, education and accom-
plishme"ts. They were originally alike
IN temper too bui by different man.
agement, are grown the reverse of each
other. Aracline has accustomed her
selfto look only ON the dark side OF
every Object. fla new poem or play
makes it appearance, with thousand
briliancies, and but one or two b!em-
ishes, che slightly skinas over the pas
sagss that should give her pleasure, and
dwells upon lhase only which fill her
with dislike. IT you show her very
excellen, portraie, she looks at some
part Of the drapery which has been ne
elected, or to hand or finger which
has been neglected. Her garden is a
very beau iful one, and kept with great
neatness and elegance +; but If YOU take
a walk with her in it, she tilks TO you
Of nothing but b'ighis and storms, of
snails and ca erpllars. and how impos-
sible it is to keep il ON the litter Of
falling trees aDa worm casts. lf VOC
sit down in one Of her temples, 10 cn-
Joy delightful prospect ; she observes
TO you that there is too mnch wood OF
toe Etile water That the day is to
sunny or too gloomy /: that il is saltry
or windy !; and tini shes with long har.
rangue upon the wretchedness Of our
climate. Wh,nyan return with her 10
the company, in hope Of a htIIe cheer
ful conversation, she cass a gloom o.
yer all, by giving yon the history Of
her own bad heath, or Of some mel
anchoiy accident TIA has befallen one
of her daughters children. Thus she
insensbly s!nks her own spirits, and
the spirits Of all around her aud at
last discovers, she knows net why, that
her friends are grave.
] Melissa is the reverse of all this.
By constantly habi'u..ting herself 10
look only on the bright side Of objects.
she preserves perpetual cheerfulness
in herself, which by kind Of happy
contagion. she comm nica,cs to all n
bont her, / an. msfostne has befal.
! len her. she onsiders a.s. uuisht have
been worse and is h.nkial to Provi.
dence for an escape. she is joic ed .in
solitude as itgses her in nopportuniiy
Of knowing hrrscli and in society, be-
cause she can colnnunl,. ..te he happi.
ness she enjoys. She opp ses every
: mans virtde 10 Eis iailnsa, AID can find
out something to CHERISH and applaud
in the very worst OF her acquaintance.
Thus Melissa, like the bee. gathers hon.
ey from every weed while Arachnc,
like the spider. sucks poison from the
fairsst flower TIE consequence is,
= that of two tempers once very nearly
: allied, the one Is ever sour and dissat-
isfed, the other always gay and cheer
tul /; the one spreads universal gloom,
the other continual sunshine.
REBELLION at the College Of Versailles.
The Paris papers give the partic-
ulars of a revolt among the pupils Of
the Royal College of Versailles
Symptoms Of discomfort among them
had been ma infested for some tune,
and when on some festival occasion
ON the head of the college, the Abbe
! Auger, prepared an entertainment
for them, not one of them appeared.
Their discomfort was particularly
directed against one of tho Oversee
: ers. Cna certain day, one Of the
, students in a studying hall u.der the
supervision Of this oversecr, folded
his arms, and began to march grave
: ly about tbs hall. When called to
. order by the overseer, tho pupil re.
sponded, {" what does your majesty
please to dsmaud \" and continued
marching about Ehe oyerseer took
me asures to resent the insult, the pu-
, pills all took the part OF their com.
