foolish parades and large conventions were held.
But these means had now no influence on the

have been mistaken when they rated them so
meanly. That same aid coon" is dead, and there
isa reasonable prospect that, in election campaigns
hereafter, appeals will be made to the reason and

Il PurSuii.-No human being, how
ever exalted his rank and fortune, how
ever enlarged and cultivated his under
standing, can long be happy without a
pursuit. Life is ladder on which we
climb from hope to hope, and by expect
alton, strive to ascend to enjoyment; but
he who has reached his highest hope is
miserable indeed, or who enjoys the Ut
most of his wishes for many who have
been most successful in their respective
undertakings, have given the gloomiest
description of the human pleasures. The
pursu. alone can yield true happiness !;
and the most trifing object that has pow
er to fascinatc the hopes of man, is wor-
thy of his attention.
