A jury Of Dairons SITS on his case
daily. until everything aseertainable
concerning him has bsen ascertained,
and if inquiry is bafiied, aud no Ar
iadine can find the clue to his past,
cucsswork. in due time, takes the
place of facts, aud he is reckoned
up, as inspector Bucket would say,
on fancy basis. a previous histo-
ry he must have, and, in the absence
of any authentic record, he is fur
nishei with one by the tongue OF
gossip.
But in a bustling city, you can
settle down anywhere withou: at
tracing the slightest attention.
You care for nobody, and nobody
cares for YOU, as the song says.
The family in the adjoining house
does not publish your name on a
door-plate, and your servants are
not on visiting terms with the kitch-
en- circle next door, you may remain
twelve month as utterly unknown
to the beings whose laughter you
hear through the patty wall, as if
you dwelt in Central Africa. Peo-
pie talk of seeking retirement in the
country. The idea is ridiculous.
If you waut to be isolated from the
world, live quietly in the midst of a
densely populated and busy district.
CoSrrNrMENr.-There are thou
sands so cXtravayant in their ideas
of fcontentment, as to imagine that it
must consist in having everything i'll
the world turn out the way they
wisl-that they are to. sit down in
happiness, and feel themselves so at
case on every point, as to desire
nothing better and nothing moro.
l own there arc instances of some,
who seem to pass through the world
as ifall their paths had been strewn
with roscbuds of delight; but a
little experience will convince us.
'tis fatal expectation to go upon.
We are born to trouble, and we
may depend upon it whilst we live
in this world we shall have it, though
with intcrmissions-that is, in what
ever state we are, we shall find q
mixture of good and evil, and, there
fore, the true way to contentment Is
to know how to receive these certain
vicissitudcs Of life--the returns of
good and evil; so as neither to be
exalted by the one, nor overthrown
by the other, but to bear ourselves
toward everything that happens with
such ease aud indifference of mind
as to hazard as little as may be.
This is the true temperate climote
fitted for us by nature, and in which
every wise man would wish to live.
HIDDEN MusIc.-Those who have
visited the mouth of the PascagOula
river, on the southern coast OF Mis-
sissippi. may have heard the hidden
music for which the spot is noted
On still summer evenings one may
hear from the shore, or still better
from boat floating upon the nver,
n lou. pl.intive sound proceesiing
from the water. and rising and fsli-
