You can't be strong minded be piuckish, patient,

MARRIAGr. with all its ills and evils, man
knows no happiness until he marries; let him pos.
sess woman Of sense and virtue, and Of whom he
himself is worthy, and he will feel a solid and per-
mancnt Joy, of which he never before sensible.
For as as somebody says, the happiness OF marriage,
like the interest of money, arises from regular and
established fund while unmarried libertines live up-
the principal, and become bankrupt in character
and respectablty To be sure. (as the authori.
iy tells us,) uninterrupted happiness
ought to expect. Lie is sinecure; fruits do

the Gardcn Of Eden, does drop from tho
clouds as IT did in the wilderness. But a schema

minds double share pleasure. in prosperity and

seiflshness, We should all be cautious advance
in life, OF allowing occasional sorrowfu experience

good.
Faith in good is at once its rectitrde and re-
ward. To believe good, and TO do good truly and
trustfuy, is the healthies; of humanitys conditions.
To take events cheeriuly and promote the happiness
Of others, is the way to insure the enduring spring of
existence,
