He vainly toils, who toils to make his life,
A Babel Tower, whereby to reach the skies—
Aims are confounded, passions fall to strife,
\Visdom is but the folk of the wise,
And the soul's deeds comes short of her empire
So is she mocked and darkness :named, and led
To hunger in earth's deserts for Heaven's bread
Bring, Sculptor, all the art that in thee lies,
Bring all of thine heart's lave and thy soul's thot'
That to thin brave life-statue may be wrought,
Give me all thy days unto the toil—than see
No bright God-image beaming from the stone- 7
It lies a limbless Dagon, overthrown
Upon the bare plains of eternity.
All things drink gladness with their breath,
Sadness, unrest, have in their lives no•parh
The bird , i wild song, untuned to pain or death,
Springs from the hidden pleasure of the heart.
None empty from life's festal halls depart.
The violet dies not from the woodland side,
Till all the soul it hath is satisfied.
But man inter earth's banquet chamber led
Feeds upon Dead Sea fruits, or is not fed;
Or, grasping the pure food too long .denied—
Lo, the pale stranger with the shadowy hand
Stands beckoning to him from the palace door !
He follows—out into the silent land,
Unblest, unsated—to return no more.
The natire that to smallest aims aspires,
May in the smallest sphere complete its bliss;
But for the great heart with its groat desires
Another life fulfils the hope of bliss.
As science links the nations with her chain,
And flashes lightning thought beneath the main,
So this hearty yearning upon earth began '
Shall flash through other spheres through death's
dark sea;

A Tale of W onaan 9 s Vengeance.
The grave opens wide with its gasping mouth to
receive all that shall remain of me, when a guilt
charged soul has entered its Maker's presence
Yet ere corruption lay its fell hand upon me, must
I leave to that wo: Id, where in the .plentitude of
`brilliancy I once so brightly shone, a record of my
sins—a monument by which it.may remember one
of its most deluded children.
When a fairy child sporting by mother's knee,
could she but have raised the veil of my future state
on earth, and seen the wretch .1 should have one
day become, would she • not have shuddered at the
picture and in the tullneks of her mother's love have
killed her child, rather than have sent her forth,
another victim to the passionsof a sin-fraught world?
But, soul of my departed mother rest in peace!' Oh
let it be my comfort here to think that, in the blest
regions of the just thou knowest not thy child's de
spair. No-recollections of a by-gone guilt adum
brated the calm of thy placid brow; the ever-burn
ing coal of remorse was not ignited at thy heart's
Fore. Oh, mother, had I but resembled thee, even
now I might be singing songs of praise to know
my pilgrimage is nearly done, and that in Heaven
we shall meet again. • But no, even as thou wert a
saint on earth, even so wilt thou be a saint within
those heavenly doors, whence 1, thy daughter, shall
be ejected, an outcast, a criminal.
I watched the mournful cortege, as it proceeded
slowly down the avenue, to bear all that remained
of a cherished mother to her last resting place oh
earth. • I watched it, and to my young, as yet un
blasteiLheatrt, bitter was the trial. All was hidden
by the trek's. 1 pressed a' crucifix, her last dear gift
to my lipi, and sinking on my knees, I prayed.—
Yes thett I dared to offer up a prayer, for I was still
untanoeff.
.Long did 1 remain deep in grief now
praying, now weeping, now thinking on the past
till the sound of approaching footsteps roused me
from my sad, yet consoling reverie. My lather en
tered. He took me gently by the hand—my heart
told me whither he would v . ; he led me to my
mother's tomb, and together we mourned and pray
ed over our beloved dead.
Time on its swift wing sped quickly along. The
poignancy of my grief for my mother's death passed
away, and left only the soft sweetness of fond recol
lection behind. Some new and earth-born sensa
tions took root within my young and guileless hearf7
Even as the daring mariner, I ventured my all—my
earthly happiness—in a tempest driven bark; the
elements raged against me. I loot—and from that
hour became an erring and misery doomed mortal.
Now, for the first time, shall the words receive
the key to my after wretchedness. I loved—what
volumes of despair do those words convey! what
dark and shadowy pictures! what long, past years
pregnant with anguish! what coming years of tor
ment and everlasting pain!
The yonng Viscompte Fabian de Chatillon was
thet idol of my worship. His father's property was
adjacent to our own, and as his children, we had
played together; but Fabian had beet( for some years
pursuing his studies away from bis . paternal home.
When, at last, the t•ly returned—a man—l saw
him, but him all the love of which my
heart was capable. Fabien's talents were the theme
of general conversation. Old academicians proph
esied of his future tame, his rich intellect Would
day beam forth to the honor of France. As I heard
these tales of Fabien's high abilities, how my heart
laaped for joy! how in the madness of my passion,
I anticipated the time when I should feel he was all
my own!
Similarity of taste threw me much into the so d :
ciety of his sister Aphonsine. We both were moth
erless, and that, at least, was a link which connect
ed us. For hours would I listen when, in her sis
ter's pride, she would descant long and freely Fa
bien's future prospects, and tell me of his triumphs.
That topic I felt was all my own; for was not the
hero of it he who was dearer to me than Ale or
fame But ambition was the monarch who reigned
omnipotent within his widelylanging soul. Re
nown! glory! was his cry. end" to gods such as these
only would he-bow. He had no passion left for
me; with cool indifference be passed me by. I was
beneath his lordly notice. A woman stand between
him and his ambition's goal. Preposterous idea!
He would sacrifice everything before his frenzical
love for glory. Untakbt in heart history, he knew
not that ; would urge ki im on to deeds worthy of his
noble name, and witness with delight his great
achievements., He played with my love tampered
with my warmest feelings, and with a mocking
smile spoke to me, as lilOUL'h I were the child he
once had krurSti.
„He galled my sensitive heart to
'the quick. arid drove me into fits of mad jealousy.
Jealous! Yes, I was jealoits of his wisdom, jealous
of his fame; fir these he caressed with the affection
my passion :old me to appropriate to myself alone.
'Fabien lett for Paris. He left me,: without one
word of kind farewell, with nothing to quench the
heat of the ever burning fire within my breast.—
The long, desinate winter passed slowly-heavily.
_There was no bright hoar looming in the future,
in which I might anticipate the gilt of Fabien de
Chatillon's love. As spring advanced, hints were
frequently dropped. by my Sather, that he was ar
ranging
a marriage suited to my'rank and beauty.
I heeded them not--I was careless of my future
life. Fabien was my only idol, and a , charrn of in.
difference divided us. My lathei called me to his
study one morning, and announced to me that my
consent alone was wanting to complete the alliance
he was desirous I should form. His will was my
law. and, without a second thought, I instantly
promised to comply with his wishes.
-Since your childhood, , continued my father, 'I
had fixed on Fabien de Chatillon as your suture
husband.'
A cold trem r passed over my whole frame. 'ls
he then to be mine at last? was the question I as
ked myself, and breathlessly awaited for my lather
to pass the sentence of my happiness or misery.
'But the hope was vain,' tolled like a death•knell
through my soul
'He loves me riot ?'
'His thoughts soar above. earthly loves, my Ra
chel,' said my lather kindly, for he saw my emo
tion. He pressed my leverish hands in his, and as
ked if he should postpone our conversation.
'No,' I answered resolutely, 'continue, but be

siftnice.
`Yes Rachel, thus it must be. But he is not old,
scarcely ----'
'lt matters not. my lather. Tell the Comp:e de
Chatillon, Rachel de Monluc will be his wife.'
I sat some moment's speechless, and then rising
suddenly, I laid my hand upon 'my father's arm,
and said wildly—
'Has Fables' de Chatillon refused my hand
'He has
I bowed my head in silence, and left the room
A tempestous conflict agitated my soul. Wound
ed pride cali•d aloud for vengeance. 'Refused and
scorned,' flashed its letters of fire before toy eyes.
The whole current of my nature is changed. He
I had so fondly and so madly loved was to become
the object of the bitterest passion which can agi
tate a woman's heart—revenge ! I resolved to teach
him I was not the inocuous, con'ernptible thing he
thought me. My mind was not yet ripe for any
great vengeance; new insults, new gibes, had yet
to come to fodder blaCker deeds.
He arrived to be present at my marridge with
his father. to chill me with his cold-blooded hauteur
to smile delight at his release from me. I felt he
knew I loved him, and the humbling thought roil
dered the desire to hate him doubly strong. But
the victory over my own heart was not yet com
plete.
Soon after my marriage, raccompanied my hus
band and Alphonsine to Paris, Fabien was in Eng
land, and for a period at least I was free. But in
vain did I plunge into a vortex of gaiety, in vain
did I associate with the frivolous and the light
hearted. I was pursued by the heavy hand of de
spair. Those who saw me smiling in the brilliant
throngs of fashion, dreamed not of the agony that
was corroding my hew strings, and which would
one day hurl me into an abyss of crime.
Months were rolling fast into years', and still
whenever Fabien met me he treated me with rude
contempt. But he was no longer loved; another
was the object of all the affection remaining in a
galled and broken heart; that other was my own
young son, the man I once had idolized *as now
most deeply hated. The cry for vengeance on the
destroyer of my heart's peace was growing hourly
louder. And as the world-trumpet proclaimed daily
fresh laurels won by .Fabien's talents, hate, that
canker worm, gnawed deeper and yet deeper into
my soul. Renown was the darling mistress for
which he had abandoned me, and that mistress in
my passion I resolved should die ! 'How t' was
the question I asked myself. Fabien was just and
upright in all his dealings; how could his reputa
tion be poisoned?. The voice of scandal was too
petty and too vain a weapon.
Is one frantic hour, when all my energies were
centered in the wish to ovorthrow his earthly ce
lebrity, I fixed upon a means—his intellect must
be crushed'. That mighty soul that all so lauded
must be robbed of reason. It must have been a
diabolical glimmering that lighted up for me so
horrible an idea. There is no fiend in hell so vile,
but he must pity one so totally the plaything of an
evil passion was in that hour, whin I_. heaped
coals of fire upon my own head, and fell a victim
to my - own crime..
In a - remote street of Paris there lived an aged
man, skilled in the use of poison; by a large bribe
I bought him over to my villany. His soul had
long been sold to perdition; gold was his only god.
He gave me a decoction, known to himself alone,
for destroying in a few hours the finest intellect the
Creator ever formed. How fervently trod now pray
that the dark and mnrderous receipt may be buried
in the grave of him who discovered it, and that no
other sinning wretch in future years maybe doom
ed to drink the cup of bitter sorrow an evil genius
held out to me. I returned home, glorying in my
purchase, revelling in delight at the thought that
that small vial contained my lull metre of ven
geance. Fabien was expected at his fathers house
on the morrow; then for the last time should I see
him scoffing, cold—the imbecile, the idiot, would
be mine to mock.
But the morrow was to dawn for me upon a dif
ferent scene. The mother's heart would wring with
anguish. Another cup than that of vengeance
would be bursting to tend the air, and that the tear
must suppress into inward, self.devouring

flowing through my..veins seem turned to ice.

that best loved one was the idiot. Yes, my boy
an idiot and by his-mother's hand. Ere' lie slept
he was feverish and restless, and inste'ael' of the mix
ture he usually had, Fate had destined-I should com
mit infanticide,'.opon the mind of My only son, and
give to him the portion prepared fur his hated fath
er.
As I beheld my Eustace's vacant smile, the sor
row of remorse pierced into my aching breast. My
thirst for love or vengeance was allayed. Fabien
might expend his talents as he passed; I had no
care to live but to tend my hapless boy, with so
lictude to,waich over his smallest wants, and with
his affliction ever before my eyes, while the iron
hand of conscience smote my heart, to drag out a
life of penan4e. Oft I shed those bitter tears which
the criminal has felt, and which sprang from the
inmosyrecesses of a sinning mother's soul.
From that hour Fabien too was changed, the
spifit thqi i t had grappled with his so long was bro
,ken. Now that I lie humbled to the dust he pitied
me. Generous feelings were latent in his heart. At
the zenith of, pride he would have sought to crush
me; but I was oppressed, and he upheld me. He
saw sorrow for the boy's affliction was weighing .,
me down, bUt he knew not the mother's crime. c
Hate vanished at the touch of pity, and once
again my heart throbbed for its first and only mas
ter. My husband died. I was alone with the help-
less victim of my crime, raising his lustreless eyes
to me, as though to upbraid me for my deed. Fa-,
Bien was now as assiduous and kind, as he was'
once cold and haughty, he sought to cheer my soli
itude, and to please the mother's heart by noticing
her idiot son.

He, the idoli;ed Fabien of my youth, now told me
that he loved me. His old misttets was discarded,

triumphed at last. 'But too late' was my heart's

had made a burden to him rose before my eyes—

A Donation Party
'Why, of all things!—when did you get home r
said the merry Mrs. Belle, as she entered her cheef
ful parlor at ten o'clock on Thakvicing night, and
found her husband sitting moodily alone, having
just returned from a trip to New York. She shook
him heartily by the hand, he s'ill keeping his seat
and looking as if he had been run off the track; or
had his consignment of merchandize sunk to the
bottom of Lake Erie.
'How long have you been here r she again ask
ed, not heeding his silence.'
'An hour or two.'
.Been well?' she continued, drawing her gloves,
unpinning her shawl, and laying off her bunnet.
'Middling.'
'Or sbe exclaimed, 'how I wish you had got
home before dark, flat you might have gone with
me to the donation party. We had the nicest time
—I would have given anything if you had been
there—l have not seen a merrier party this many
a day. 0, I wish you had coiiie sooner.'
'Perhaps you had better save your regrets, for I
am very sure I should not have gonelad I been at
home; and peradventure you might have staid at
home with me; so, it you have been so highly de
lighted with yobr party, make the best of it. You
know I em no friend to such doings.'
'But, Edward, you could not have helped being
pleased to-night. Why, my very heart is flutter.
ing with joy just to think of it. Returniag thanks
to the Heavenly Father by giving of our good gins
to the poor and needy.'
'The poor and needy,' he repeated, with a sneer.
'ls it Porson Allen you call poor and needy, whose
wife wears a better bonnet and eats better dinners
that' nine out of every ten of his flock?'
To, not Parson Allen—tasi,aw, Edward, do you
think I would call Parson poor and needy?'
'Well, the Rev. C. Minor, with ten thoutand dol
lars at interest?'
'Well, I shan't guess again, for this whole sys
tem of donation parties is a kind of fraud on the
public; and I am very sorry indeed that you have
been'induced, because I was absent, to give your
aid and countenance in such things.'
All this was said in a surly tone.
Mary, the light-hearted, loving, 'true and gentle
Mary, who had been at horno four weeks no merry
as a bird over her summer nest, neglected no duty
and tiring of no care, choked up a little ; but al
though the tear swelled up to her eyelids, the smile
could not leave her brow, and love whispered in her
ear4L'He is weary and sleepy, and was disappoint
ed that you were not at home' to welcome him
when he came.'
So she looked straight into the little door of the
parlor stove, upon the glowing coals there, turning
into dead ashes, and thought how much like the
warm, earnest love of her own heart they were
that minute-a love that had been warming a
whole room-full all the evening—a love that had
been sparkling and radiating till all about her was
warmth and light, and now likely to be turned sud
denly into ashe-, because the husband chose to put
it out, instead of adding fresh fuel to warm and
cheer his own cold soul. But Mary was a sensible
little woman—so she looked straight into the stove
door, patted the toe of her pretty gaiter on the soil
rug, turned her marriage-ring round and round on
her finger, but-never said a word.
Edward Belle looked straight into the stove-door
too„ wishing in his heart he had not been such a
petatlant fool as to blufroff his beautilul,lovin c ,.- wife
tor no earthly reason, only that he had got home
one day sooner than he promised and found her at
a donation party. 'But hang:it all,' thought he to
himself, 'how shall I get out.of the scrape ?'
Thus thinking, thus feeling. they both looked in
to the stove door for five minutes.
This won't do,' thought he; must come round
somehow;' and he ran his finger ends throi.igh his
whiskers, and looked a whole minute longer; then
clearing his throat, began in a softened tone to me
q don't know buil I'm too savage on your dona
tion parties, Mary; but it has always appeared to
me that if people must have a minister, they ought
to pay him well, without grudging or grumbling,
and not levy a tax upon the whole community to
relieve them of their burdens; and and' if they can't
so pay, cheerfully own lb their poverty and let him
go. Maybe I am wrong in my estimate; b,u I
have guessed twice; suppose you tell me now
where you have given your donation to-night, that
had set your heart to fluttering so joyfolly.'
And Edward, who was, alter all, a very fond lks
band, drew her hand into his, aud
,looked with a
clear brow for an answer.
How easy the heart comes pound to the true
place, when we once resolve to do right, and to
drive away the mist of ill humor that hangs over
the spirit by a breath of love and kindness. Mary
replied without seeming to remember that she had
been repulied.
'You know, Edward, how many times we have
talked about good Mrs. Brown. Alter raising a
great family of her own, and struggling through
all :sorts of sorrow, sickness and trial, to be left a
widow, dependent wholly on her own hands, would
haVe seemed a sad destiny; but in her old age to
be compelled to raise a second family, to take the
babes of her daughter and rear them in her arms,
to become the recond mother of all these orphans,
seemed a hard tate;'and so we, a few of us, you
know, (I don't know who, hardly.) said 'Let us
give the widow Blown a donation party; and all
said 'Agreed; and to work we went. Every man
and woman we met said 'yes.' 'She nursed my
wife when she was sick,' said Mr. Scott; 'she took
care of my little Henry when he had his arm bro
ken,' said Mr. Jones; 'Mother Brawn, to be sure I'll
help,' responded Judge Fry, 'she has put the first
slip on my children, God bless her!' •Dear grand
mother Brown, I'll do all I can for her,' said the
fashionable Mrs. Grey, 'she was With my dear lit
tle Nettie and laid her form in the coffin.'
'Help her! yes, yes, by hokey r said the rough
butcher Hopkins; 'she ought, to be supported by the
public, aid never know a want, for—poor widow
as she has been for fifteen years--she has never let
anybody want that she could help; and I've kitown
her many a time, when she was earning her br 'ad
with her needle, at a quarter a day and board her
sell, drop all and go and nurse two or three days
at a time with them that were too poor to help her
a mite; and now she has them children to care for.
By, bokey, I'll give my donation with a free hand'
And so it went—every one willing to help the
widow in her need, and we got up the donation
for our Thanksgiving night. And 0, how glad our
hearts have beets made in making the widow's cup
' to overflow with joy—in returning thanks to our
41.4asenly Father, by giving ol our abundance to
re,Beve the widow, grandmother, and orphaned lit
tle ones. Yes, Edward—my heart fluttered with
joy—joy that there was so much of the angelic it
human hearts—joy that in this.good land there is
enough for all, and that so many good and great
minds rte plerding for the right ol all to live and
loie—joy that every day the work of charity and
benevolence goes on, for that woman and for the
oppressed, and to call upon her neighbors to lay
their offerings of sympathy upon the altars of su,f7
feriug hearti Edward, dear as you are to me, dear
er than life, even your frown and colder words an
at the moment of our meeting could not banish that
womanly guest from my heart, that the aged wid

ushered in there. Would that every village and
every town would use their Thanksgiving as we
have done to-day; then indeed would it become a
time of thanksgiving and prayer, acceptable alike
to man and God.'
Edward Belle bent his head low upon the hand
or his lovely rnd loving wife, and a tear fell on
that wedding ring, and washed all remembrance
GI trouV>.d thought that hut now had caused it to

FOUNDATION OE A GREAT CITE --A letter horn
Council Bluffs gives the lollowir.=; brief but intelli
gent description of a place that is growing rapidly
into importance and will coon be a great city in
the West:
Csuncil Bluffs City is situated in Pottawatimie
county, lowa, and is the principal outfitting and
starting place for emigrants to California, Utah
and Oregon. Five years ago its site was occupied
by a few Indian huts. Its present population is
about fifteen hundred. There are now five railroads
projecting from the town to different points, and
the inhabitants claim that the only practical route
for a Pacific railroad is through their place. Labor
ers' wages range from 75 ceuts to $1 50 a bay,
and from twelve to twenty dollars a month. The
neighboring country is well adapted to farming
purposes, and its advantages, as well as thole of
Council Bluth, find an able advocate in the Western
Bugle. From that paper of the 2d inst. we clip the
following:
Some of our merchants sell ffitty thousand dol
lars ods yearly. Land that was offered
je ree hundred dollars one year ago, was sold
soon after the Land Office was opened here for fif
teen hundred, and is now worth five thousand.
The H. W. Miller :arm sold in 1851 for seven
hnndred dollars—it now is laid out in lota which
sell,readily from one to five hundred dollars per lot
and still risinc , rapidly in value. We have six fer
ries across the Missouri in this vicinity, all of
which are prepared to cross emigrants. Add lb
which the large business houses of our city, and
t• e secret is told of our rapid growth, as well of
the emigration centers here to outfit across 'the
plains; and this season our merchants have done
a very good business with the emigrants who
have returned from the Pacific across the plains.
Instead of taking the grave yard route usually
taken by returned emigrants, via the Isthmus, next
season we may expect a much larger return emi
grateo as statious for their convenience will be
built by mivate enterprise-up the Platte Valley.
Council Bluffs City is the half way station for the
commerce of the world.

rp h e Perfect Grain Drill and
_L. most Valuable Agricultural Implement.--
A great improvement in Grain Drills, making this
excellent Agricultural Implement a pefect Ma
chine, for which letters patent were issued Sep
tember 20th, to Mr. Samuel Jenkins, of . York co.
The improvement consists in attaching an ad
justable curved cutter of, steel, to and through the
drag bar and through the point of th f tooth or
drill, in front of the tooth, forming a triple edge
at the point, and enabling the tooth to raise up and
glide over any obstructions, and completely regu
lating toe depth of furrow required, and depositing
the grain to the depth, according to the character
of the soil. The cutter likewise prevents weeds
or stubble from clogging or choking up the mouth
of the Drill, Heretofore iusuperable disadvantages
have attended the use of the Grain Drill, on any
other than a level and even soil ; but by thin sim
ple invention the operation of the Machine is made
complete and perfect, and this valuable -agricultu
ral Implement den now tic used on uneven, stony
or rocky ground, or on new clearing, where the
stumps have not yet been removed, with the same
easy draught and perfect operation, in Seeding any
Drilling, as on even and clear soil, without jarrind
the Machine in the least, or' putting the seeding
devices out of gear.
The model and specifications are now at the In
ventor's Institute, Fulton Hall, where .1. Franklin
Reignt will be pleased to give every information
to persons interested in the matter, desiring to ex
amine the same more particularly, or to purehase
County ,or State rights.
Competent persons desirous of securing the
Agency to sell the County and State rights of this
most useful Machine, should apply immediately.

whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon

alarru9l at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing,
attended, sometimes, with de

TAKE "ARTICULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret: and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either bueines
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head,
Dimness of Sight, Loss of; Muscular Power, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Dyslicpsia, Nervouii Irrna.
Way, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
general Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c
Mentally.—The tearful °libels on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion
of Ideas,
_Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo
ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidily, &c. are some of the evils pro•
duced• .
•
NERVOUS DEBILITY.
Weakness of the system, Nervous Dibility and
premature decay generally arises front the destruct
Lye habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
tnemselvcs. Parents and Guardians are often mis
ted with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their SODS and wards. Alas! how of:en do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the flea:, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous, System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss ol Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex
istence thousands who might_ have been of use to
their , montry, a pleasure to their friends, an orna
mein to society.
• WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS

Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguide
youths been made, who have been suddenly recto
red Ti) houlth from the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
shoulu reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro'
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighted with our own. Let nolalse delica
