II. 81. Snuff and L. L. Vasseur, charged with
inflicting injuries upon Girard S. Gregory,

THE QUEST FOR HAPPINESS.

In how many and various ways do
men seek happiness? And alas !
how few are able to arrive at it?
The most common mistake made in
this regard, it seems to me, is where
it is persistently and almost exclu-
sively sought in things external.
One man sets out with the determine
ton to be rich at all hazards, as
though the amassing great deal of
wealth would make him happy! An
other sets his heart upon a palatial
home, and imagines that therein will
abide joy, and peace, and happiness.
Still another would be a soldier, and
even seek the bubble reputation, as
the First Napoleon literally did, at
the lannon's mouth. Another may
wish for poets or writer's reputa-
ton, and bend all his power toward
its accomplishment. But the inevi-
table outcome of all these various
quests and endeavOrs will be unsatis-
faction. The development of what
is within, rather than the search for
something outside, is the true source
of rest and happiness. The posses
sion of calm and tranquil spirit that
is trained to act wisely and benefi-
Gently in every act of life, is of far
more value, even in selfish point of
view, than great possessions. What
sublime spectacle would be pre-
scented to all created beings were men
to actually IiUe ont the principle and
doctrines of Christ's religion? What
a metamorposis in the worlds affairs
would at once take place. Instead
of love, charity, brotherly kindness,
and kindred virtues being the rare
exception, they would at once take
the most prominent places in life and
crowd out all its vices. Nor would
industry and enterprise be left out or
found wanting. We cannot be too
industrious, save when carried to a
harmful extreme; we cannot be too
enterprising when our motives are
right, and not injurious to our neigh
Dor. But were true religion to pre-
dominate, all the business affairs of
life would be sweetened and purified.
The ambition that seeks advancement
over the thickly strewn bodies of its
competitor would find no, field to OPP
erHte in, and would stink away in ut
ter discontinue and disgrace. Hap
piness, instead of being rare, would
soon become universal. The air
would TEEN with blessings. The sky
grown radiant would send down from
sun and moon new and delightful ex-
periences and God himself would
seem to dwell but little distance off,
whom sin seems now to make a long
way beyond the remotest stars. This
is to be the browning perfection OF
human life. The ''consummation
devoutly to be wished " Are aee do
ing anything to further the speedy
coming of such a time? Are oul
hearts aud minds in unison with such
a perfect and glorious style Of living
If they are, then may we rejoice and
be glad. But if the thought is dis
cordant, impracticable, ideal, and i
may be nonsensical, they lament ant

: and universal.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1882-11-06

All things work together for good.
This is as Jacobs staff in the hand
of faith, with which we may walk
cheerfully to the mount of God.
What will satisfy or give content, if
this will not? The expression, "Work
together" refers to medicine. Sew
eral poisonous ingredients put to-
gether, being tempered by the skill
of the apothecary make a sovereign
medicine, and work together for the
good Of the patient. So all Gods
providences, being divinely tempered
and sanctifed, do work together for
the best, to the saints. He who
loves God, and is called according to
his purpose, may rest assured that
everything in the world shall be for
his good. This is christians cor
dial, which may warn him-make
him like Jonathan, who, when he had
tasted the honey at the end of the
rod, ''his eyes were enlightened. y
Why should a christian destroy HIM
self? Why should he kill himself
with care, when all things shall
sweetly concur, yea, conspire for his
good.-T. Watson.
