There is no class of people who complain more of hard time e, than those who live in idleness, and who consider aR&nds of regular business *?* a grievous burthen, to which they yTl\\ notsubmit.

They are dis only with tlie laws of| mm those of nature. ? Xhey complain of the earth, that it is barren, yet refuse 1o cultivate it? thev do nqfrxow yet they murmur be cause they liave no harvest to recyp. Hut if th* earth spontaneously yield ed provisions, they would be dissat isfied unless it brought them cooked. to suit their palates.

Our wants can be satis fied only liy industry ? it is from pro ductive labour alone, that fho liuiuau race obtain their subsistence. Indus try is therefore oof only a remedy for hard times, but is of itself a source Mian happiness. If we search 4LT>isst oo earth, we find it is ed by those who are indo I idle, but by tbosfe who are " and laborious. Men abl active business, seldom _Ji> to feet time a burthen - ? tlie\ are so well satisfied with pursuits ahd use of time, that often regret that the days and 1__. weeks are so short.

It is the k we dissolute, who >?aste their time in gam.oS, and contract habits of; intemperance. Indeed, terance, and idleness appear inseparable Must.men who are guilty cf one of those viccs, soon practice the other-^they scorn the ?a tural cause and effect of each other ?idleness produces intemperance, and intemperance leads to idleness. The idle are frequently mischjeveoua contentious, and guilty of othei crimes and offences against society.
