"A capital story is told Of n minister
somewhere down east, who, being some.

OF drawing frequently upon a barrel OF
sermons, bequeathed to him by his father,
who was also a minister. Upon one
occasion, the young divine got hold OF
sermon once delivered to the state pris

from the well known language Of his ia

Happiness does not so much consist in
having much to enjoy, as in tho faculty to
enjoy little. lie who cannot be happy
without taking great pains, will always
iisd his pains greater than his happiness.
1t is beautiful thought Of Addson's 8 that
one man often takes more pleasure in the
contemplation Of a fine estate, than anoth-
er does IN the possession. The former
derives much pleasure from the estate,
without being burdened with the care of
possession f; the latter burdened with the
care ofpossessIon, derives little pleasure
from the estate. The one finds an estate
in the beauties--the other finds no beau
lies in the estate. The possession of EN-.
oymont, is better than the enjoyment of
po ession.
