[verso] No. VIII. January 21, 1796. Riches incapable of producing Happiness. This wealth is but a name, That leaves our useful products still the same. Goldsmith. Riches are commonly mistaken for happiness and are imagined my many to be the only philosopher’s stone. But the fate of those, who possess the imaginary bliss, plainly evince the contrary. We see the rich are generally more encumbered

[recto] independence of our Republic. Let us vindicate the rights of man, and our independence, by a sacred adherence to liberty, and the principles of a free government; and prepare an asylum for mankind, from the relentless cruelty and ambition of unprincipled tyrants and oppressors. Liberty! Thou celestial Goddess of political happiness, extend thine empire! Under thy banners let all nations find a refuge. Banish despotism from the earth! — abolish the ensigns of tyranny — Inspire in human hearts the love of mankind — Annihilate the enmities, discord, and divisions, which have so long separated the nations of the earth, and involved them in wars and confusion: so that in the morning of the ninteenth century, we may behold all mankind united into one great Republic, by the eternal bonds of nature, and enjoying the universal peace, happiness, and tranquility of the regenerated world.

It enables him to endure, without murmuring, that state which would otherwise be intolerable. It heightens the enjoyments of prosperity; and lessens all our griefs and afflictions. Ambitious and worldly men enjoy but very little solid happiness. Uneasy with their present condition, they spend their days in the hopes of vain and imaginary enjoyments; till at last, death puts end to their ambitious projects, and prevents them from ever acquiring the desired happiness. They lose the comfort of their present enjoyments, by grieving themselves with foolish wishes, and flattering themselves with vain hopes, till their whole lives are spent, without affording any comfort to others, and becoming a burthen to themselves. But if they are contented, they may enjoy a continual satisfaction. And tho’

[verso] {..} and enslave them. And assuming a new power over the inhabitants of these states, they imposed taxes upon them, without their consent; altered many essential points of their government; and grasped at an absolute power over the American empire. Such streaches of power soon alarmed the colonies: they began to consider the consequences of submitting to such rigorous measures. They petitioned for a redress of grievances, and pursued every reasonable measure for a restoration of their former liberty; but nothing had any effect. The British King and his parliament continued unmoved at every complaint, and refused to hear any thing they could urge in their favor. Therefore, resistance, or slavery being the terms propounded to them, they chose the former. They esteemed freedom as their native right,- as the inseparable companion

[recto] {..} But if his conduct is impeachable, his reputation will decay, if it is not keeps continually glowing with illustrious actions. His life must be filled with a succession of miracles and surprising exploits, or his fame will stagnate and decay. For when a person is raised to public fame by some extraordinary actions, he can acquire no praise for any other actions, however great or remarkable, unless they exceed those by which he gained his former reputation. He must also excel others in everything or his reputation will not escape the impure vulgar. After all, his desire of fame increases his misery, and opens new sources of distress. His passion raises uneasy emotions, subjects him to many accidental troubles, and prevents him from enjoying any of the comfort of life. If he receive no praise where expects it; or if it rise not so high as he thinks it ought, he will be greatly disappointed. And if praise itself be so disgusting surely he cannot bear up under misfortune and grace.

Therefore it his happy for us, that people in general are inclined to reading, and that books of morality so much absurd. It is happy for mankind, that learning is encouraged: for we can scarce form an idea of the appearance of society, and the depravity and wretchedness of mankind, if books and teachers went laid aside for but one century. The most entertaining and amusing books are the best for youth at an early age; for when whey consider reading as pleasure they will be desirous to learn. Any book, which conveys instruction in an easy, plain, and humorous mannor, will claim their attention; while the more solid but unamusing books will be neglected. Voyages and travels are very well adapted to the capacities of youth. And such Romances and novels as are not injurious to

[Page] 61 us are vicious may be relinquished. And innumerable cautions precepts, and admonitions should be given by parents, and enforced by their example and authority. The first object which should claim the attention of youth, at an early age, is reading. The greater part of the time till they are twelve or fourteen years of age, when they are incapable of other business, they are the best qualified for learning to read. Whatever their business in life may be, four or five years between the age of seven and fourteen, spent at school will be highly beneficial; and if possible, every one should enjoy the privilege. Reading is one of the most innocent and useful amusements of a considerable part of the community. In all conditions and at all times, it is the best source of pleasure and consolation. It conduces also as much to virtue and improvement as to diversion.

[Page] 59 always accompanied with pain and misery in the end. It is therefore incumbent upon him to check this natural propensity to evil, to conform himself, in his disposition and practice, to rectitude, in all respects; an to use every possible mean to exalt his nature from its natural depravity, to the utmost attainable degree of excellence and perfection. But, when he has done the best he was able, he will find himself very defective. Perfection cannot be attained; and when he would do good, evil will be present with him. He must therefore be humble in the midst of all his grandeur, and learn to pity those who, thro’ infirmity or misconduct, have been involved in wretchedness and misery. He must show that indulgence to others, which his own infirmities required from them.
