MEXICAN observation-disclosures,
eyeless and legless, beleaguer you
on the streets and markets-pite-
GUS sights, holding out their with
cred limbs and leprous-eaten arms
pleading all day long of every
passerby for aims, bread or mon
ey, to prolong their wretched lives.
In Mexico there are no asylums
for the poor or homes for the
crippled; no institutions for the
blind or insane. They are licens-
ed to beg so many hours each
day; so you are encompassed and
prayed to and threatened. The
country swarms with these gentry;
they meet you at every turn; and
a stranger scarcely sets foot upon
shore before he is beset by scores
of professional beggars. Many
may be seen sad and weeping,
haggard and hungry, in the morn
ing, and again at night happy,
insulting, and drunk.-[Hours at

HAPPINEss.-The happiness
of this life is to us, what the
sun was said to be esteemed by
acertain race of savages-an
object that will some day be
within our reach. These un-
taught beings resolved at
length to meet it, and with ca
ger expectation they began
their march towards the East,
in the hope of catching the glo-
riOus luminary ere it appeared
to them to raise itself from the
earth; and every morning they
anxiously stretched out their
arms exclaiming: "Ah! when
shall we attain it." They tray
elled for a considerable time
supported by their hopes,
which only vanished when they
found their career inevitably
terminated by an immense
ocean. And thus it is with us
all. We fix our eyes upon some
points or object in which we
believe happiness to consist, a
journey on through cultivated
tracts and through deserts; we
traverse fowery valleys, and
Overleap rocks and presipices /;
no difficulty or danger can ar
rest our steps, and at length
without obtaining what we
have sought, we are checked
by the tomb opened before us,
which is the immense ocean
that swallows us all up.
