Happiness does not so much con
sist in having much to enjoy, as in
the faculty to enjoy a little. He
who cannot be happy, without ia;
king great pains, will always find
his pains greater than his haIpi:
ness. It is a beautiful thought oi
Addison's, that one man often
takes more pleasure in the con
temptation of a fine estate, than
another does in the possession. The
former derives much pleasure from
the estate, without being burdened
with the care of possession; the
latter, burdened with the care Of
possession, derives little pleasure
from the estate. The one finds an
estate in the beauties-the Other
finds no beauties in the estate. The
possession of enjoyment, is better
than the enjoyment OF possession

GUILTY S1LENcE.-There is. ia
time to keep silence and time to
speak" And in this sense the old
English proverb is true, that
"speech is silvern, but silence is
golden" Yet there are times and
places when silence is a crime the
! guilt of which is measurable only
by the the largest rules of morals
and Of faith. Apathy towards the
great moral evils of the world, and
Indifference to human and divine
remedies for these eyils, may some
times be the worst kind of mora
treason. In the fearful battles
which are raging all around us
between right and wrong, the most
deadly influence spring from in
dolent selfshness. "Am [ my
brothers keeper?' says the un'
concerned spectator of the woes
and vices of the world.
There are multitudes cat ease Ii
Zion,'' who gaze with stupefyine
indifference upon poverty, crime
and intemperence, and the wors
social evils which attend the un
goodness of the age, as if wicked
edncss at home, and paganisn
abroad, had an original right tt
rule the world; and as if religion
were an intruder on the earth upor
which the Redeemcr was crucifeC
and slam. .'..~

PENALTY FOR MAKING WASH SALES" AT
THE COTTON EXCHANGE.

Yesterday another meeting was held at the Cot
ton Exchange-Vice President Henry HentZ pre-
siding-to determine what penalty should be in
nicted upon members who might be discovered in
making "wash sales" and reporting them as bona
tide transactions MOI that any such bogus sales
have been made to any great extent, IL at ALL for
the Cotton Exchange as body Is possessed or
the highest business honor. destinations,
however, have been thrown out from time
to time that IN order to influence
the market, ''wash salesr have been
made and reported. 1t was proposed at the meet
ing yesterday TO offer such Inducements for the
detection OF false transactions that their extermi-
dation would be as good as guaranteed. The method
suggested for accomplishing tnls, however, was by
becoming the dignity OF the body, and the old law
which simply provides for the expulsion of any
member convicted OF making false sales and re-
ports, remains in force and will be vigorously ap-
piled In any detected case OF such disobedience to
the laws Of the Exchange and OF common business
