discipline will be mild and parental; and it

A PURsUIT.-No human being, how
ever exalted his rank and fortune, how
ever enlarged and cultivated his under
standing, can long be happy without pur-
suit. Life is ladder, on which we climb
from hope to hope, and, by expectation.
strive to ascend to enjoyment; but he
who fancies he has reached his highest
hope, is miserable indeed, or who enioys
the utmost of his wishes for many who
have been most successful in their re-
spective undertakings, have given the
gloomiest description of the emptiness
of human pleasures. The pursuit alone
can yield true happiness and the most
trifing object that has power to fascinatc
the hopes of man, is worthy his attention.
The bliss we covet, seems, at distant view.
To all superior; but when once possessed.
1t cloys-we spurn it-and another call.
