Happiness.

The true happiness is Of a retired
nature, and an enemy TO pomp and
noise: it arises, in the first place, from
the enjoyment of ones self; and in the
next, from the friendship and CONVEX
sation of a few select companions; il
loves shade and solitude, and naturally
haunts groves and fountains, fields and
meadows; in short, it feels everything
1t wants within itself, and receives no
addition from the multitudes OF wit
nesses and spectators. On the con-
trary. false happiness loves to be in
crowd. and to draw the eyes of the
world upon her. She does not receive
satisfaction from the applauses which
she gives herself. but from the admi
ration which she raises in others. She
fiourishes in courts and palaces, thea
ters and assemblies. and has no exist
ence but when she is looked upon
