RgxARxs.-There are thousands of rich
1smilies living in splen lid city palaces,
siSyss to flsh.on AMI tn, loyo of money,
who are not hi as happy as they might be,
Ia pleasant rural homes. Indeed, the rich
who dwell in citiss, seldom know what true
happiness is. They live in a continual whirl
of excitement or confusion; a life altogether
artificial; tribes take up their attention a
stain on a fashionable garment, gives them
agony; curl, raft or b,au knot o2t of
place, makes them miserable.
