Although we huvu long known tho ubovo

OtTlt in it law of nature that labor, in homo
.shupc, is necessary for the Mipport of man's
existence, and those poisons arc surely in er
ror who consider this condition as un evil,
anil labor us essentially u sucrifico or hard
ship. So fur from complete inuction Issing
perfect enjoyment, there arc few sufferings
grouter than that which the total absence of
occupation generally induces. When Na.
Kileon was slowly withering awuy, from dis.
'use and ennui together, on tho rock of St.
I lolcna, it was told him that one of his old
fiiends, an ex-colonel in his Itulian armv,
was dcuil. " Whatdiseaso killed him?" ask
ed Napoleon. " That of having nothing to
do," it wns unswered. " Enough !" sighed
NuiKileou, " even hud he been an Emperor."
Potter.
OtrThut the happiness of individuals does
not nncchsurily inoreaso with their wealth, is
attested by the combined authority of all the
philosophers and moralists of past ages: Nay,
thoro are those who very plausibly urge that
tho cares of life inoreaso with the inoreaso of
jiroporty. A shrewd writor tolls tho follow
ing : A sick sovereign was rooommondod, as
an infallible specific for his disorder, the an.
plication of " tlnrahirt of a happy man." His
emissaries in vain ransacked all countries in
search of such u being. At last they discov
ered an individual who acknowledged him
self to bo happy, in tho shape of a wild moun
tain shepherd. But, alas! he had no shirt!
Tho tale ends with tho monarch exclaiming,
" thoHo only uro happy who have no shirts to
wear." So Joan Jaques says : "VVhoeve'r
onjoys hoalth, and is in no want of nooessa.
ries, is rich enough." Potter.
Botany. -There is something exceedingly
pleasing and sublime in the contemplation of
tho growth bf vegotabki, tho termination of
sccibf appearance of sprouts, 'development of
stems, branches, leaves, buds, Wossoms, flow
era, and. fruits their variegated forms di
mansions, movements, colors, and odors".
Some norsons wlio have never turned their
attention to this subject till 'the evening of
their days, have been astonished at the won
ders which burst on their view. A new stato
of existence seemed to open upon them.
Their perception and cstimato of things were
changed. Instead of considering the world
as calculated only for what man too gener
ally makes it a scene for the display and
gratification of tho most groveling and sordid
passions, they find it a theatre crowded with
enchanting specimens of tho Creator's skill,
the study of which imparts tho sweetest plea,
sure, uud the knowledge of which constitutes
the greatest wealth.
Thoso pious but mistaken people, who in
cessantly murmur against the world, aud long
to depart from " this howling wijdcrhcss," as
they ure pleaded to tenisjrit, reproach their
Muker by reviling his work. They are wait
ing for future displays of his glory, and neg
lect those ravishing ones by which they are
surrounded, forgetting that " tho whole er-.rth
is full ol his glory" looking for sources of
pleasure to come, and elating their eyes on
thoso before them t hi rut ing for the waters
of heaven, and despising the living fountains
which the Futiicr of all intellects has opened
for them on earth.
Thev seem to think hauuiuess hereiifter-l
win not doponu upon Knowieoge, or trial
knowledge will be acquired without eftort
u kind of passive enjoyment, iudcjiendeiit of
the exercise of their intellectual or spiritual
energies. Hut they have no ground to hope
for any such thing. Reasoning from analogy
ami the nature of mind, the happiness of spirits
murt consist in Iwing imbued with u lovo of
nature in coutcniplutinc the wisdom and
other uttributes.of the Deity as they are un
folded in tho works pf creation. In what else
cun it consist! It is not probable that human
or finite beings, of any class, can ever know
tied except through tho medium of his works.
It is admitted that tho study of nature is a
source of exquisite pleasure to intelligent be
ings, and the most refined one, too, that the
mind can conceive. It is, also, one that can
never bo exhausted. Thoso persons, there
fore, who take no pleasure iu examining the
works of creation here, are lifUe prepared to
enter upon more uxtensivo and scrutinizing
views of them in other worlds. If they have
no relish for an acquaintance with tho Crea
tor's works while they live, they have no
right to expect new-tastes for them after
death. Tho works of Got! are all perfect
those in this world, as well as those in amors;

or a rose, a passion flower or lily, or any oth
