II idlcness does not produce vice or

FRIENDSHIP.
Life Is TO be fortified by many friend
ships. To love and be loved is the
greatest happiness os existence. II I
lived under the burning sun Of the
equator il wauld be pleasure to me to
think that there were human beings on
the other side Of the world who regard
ed and respected me; / could aud would
not live if were alone upon the earth
and cut of from the remembrance Of
my fellow-creatures.
1t is not that man has occasion TO
fall back upon the kindness OF his
friends. Perhaps he may never expe-
rience the necessity Of doing so; but
We are governed by our imaginations,
and they stand there as a solid and inn
pregnable bulwark against all the evils
of life. Friendship should be formed
with persons of all ages and conditions,
and with both sexes. l have friend
who is a bookseller, to whom have
been very civil, and who would do any
thing to serve me; and have two or
three small friendships among persons
in much humber walks of life, who, l
verify believe, do me considerable kind
ness according to their means. am
for frank explanation with friends in
cases Of affront. They sometimes save
a perishing friendship. and even place
it upon irmer basis than at first; but

perience that there is no efficacy in cam
phor, tobacco, drugs. or even cedar

They only lull us into a fancied securi-

liable furs and cloth ruined by this
mischeivous little insect.
To preserve these articles with entire
safety, shake them thoroughly, in or

be dislodged; then place them in close

tightly as possible to exclude the mil

HAPPINESS

The longer / live the more lam con-
vinced that the apothecary is Of more
importance than Seneca, and that half
the unhappiness in the world proceeds
from the little stoppages from ditch
choked up with food passing in the
wrong place from vexed duodenum on
m agitated pylorus The deception as
practised upon human creatures, is Gu
rious and entertaining. My friend sups
late he eats strong soup, then q lob
ster. then some tart, and he dilutes
these esculent varieties with wine. The
next day / call upon him. He is going
TO sell his house in London and retire
to the country. He is alarmed for his
eldest daughters health. His expenses
are hourly increasing and nothing but
q timely retreat can save him from ruin.
All this is the lobat-r and when over
excited nature has had time to manage
this testaceous encumbrance, the
daughter RECEIVERS, the finances are in
good order, and every rural idea exclu-
ded from the mind Exercise without
fatigue generous living without ex-
cess early rising and moderation in
sleep. These are the apothegms Of old
women but If they are not attended to
happiness becomes so extremely diff
cult, that very few persons can attain it.
EVERY DAY MAxIMs
Remember that every person, howev-
er low, has rights and feelings. In all
contentious let peace be rather your
object than triumph value trium ph
only as the means Of peace.
When you meet with neglect let it
arouse you 10 action instead Of morti-
Tying your pride. set about lessening
those defects which expose you TO neg
lect, and improve those excellencies
which command attention and respect.
II You desise the common people to
treat you as gentleman, you must
condnct yourself u gentleman should
TO them.
DO not attempt to frighten Children
and interiors by passion. IL does more
harm 10 your own character than it does
good 10 them. The same thing is bet
ter done by Ermness and persuasion.
Find fault when yon must find fault,
in private, il possible, and some time af-
ter the offense rather than at the time.
The blamed are less inclined to resist
when they are blamed without witness

amusing and agreeable than is consist
