THE helplefs fituation of man, and the dangers to which he is expofed, have always been favoiite topics of declamation with mor- * al writers of every age. But if we look cone&ly into the matter, we fnall find every nccefllty a bltfling, and every want a fource of enjoyment. In what confifls the fuperi-' ority of thofe nations, who, inhabiting the fairefl. portions of the globe, are not expofed to the fame necefiities with thofe of higher who *re forced to labor think themfelves privih/rred to complain. Were any exempt from this labor, thr-fe complaints might be heard with patience j but let the man be pointed out who does not lr.bnr, either from •neceHity or choice. Labor of fome kind is •neceffary to man ; and if his circumfiances place him above workin r for his fnpp.rt, he employs his time through choice. It is true he has the freedom of choice—he may he diligent or idle ashepkahs ; and the lumen; poor man has no choice : but this advantage "is rather imaginary than folid ; and is per¬ haps balanced to the poor man from bavin?- iiHoccupation determined. He is not a/rlicU ed with doubts and janing- prcdi' eel ions • but proceeds at once to his dated talk. Vol¬ untary kbors are frequently the moll fevers ; latitudes?

L ------- Montreal, Sept. 10, 1810. 1 tf T THE PRINTING OFFICE, KINGSTON. ful regions of Afiica and America, excel the reft of mankind in the arts of peace, of of war? Are they better acquainted with fcfence, or Further advanced in moral and political knowledge ? Their lands fupply them fpor.taneoufly, or with little culture, with all the necefTaries of life ; and the pof- feffors, preiTed-with no difficulties, and fenti- ble of no particular wants, give themfelves up to indolent repole. How (hall they cultivate arts which they do not require ? Every thing which they want may be procured without trouble or even inconvenience. Their gen¬ ius lies therefore dormant, or fpends itfeif on trifling fubjec"ts unworthy of enlightened re; - fon. The firenefs of their climate, the lux¬ uriance of their foil, which appear?, at firfl fight, fo beneficial ; a»-e found in efF< 61 ex¬ ceedingly pernicious ; for the mind partakes of the'fluggifiinels of the body ; and be th fink into the lowed (late of degradation. In thofe countries where nature has been lefs bountiful, the art of man hath n ade up the deficiency ; and not fatrsfied with doing this, it lias contrived ten thoufand comforts unknown in regions of more promifing ai- ptcr.. Even in the refined luxuries of life, the nations of the colder, and more fe\cre climates, far Jbrpafe the inhabitants of the milder iky ; for their invention, firft put in¬ to ac'tion by neceflity, (lops not when this necefiity is fupplied ; but continues to make new difcovenes for the accommodation of life. It is not in the mod fruitful climates that we look for political amelioration, or for gov¬ ernments that are capable of extending to all their fubjecls the ineftimablc benefits of true and rational liberty ; for they have always been the feats of defpotifm aud flavery. But among the northern nations, whofe fouls are raifed to exertion by their native funms— among them, all the different branches ot knowledge arc carried to the higher! perfec¬ tion. They find a frefh benefit in every ad- vance, which amply rewards them for their trouble in making it. Man is indolent in a fiate cf nature—he feldom exerts himielf uu- lefs urged by neceffity. If he happen to live where the earth fupplies him with food, he refts fatisiled with what {'at prcfents him ; and he will fpend his life in eating and fieep- ingi like the other animals. Accordingly we are told by travellers that the molt indolent nations are thofe who have the leall labor to perform. To be placed in a country which demands affiduous diligence to make it comfortable, is not therefore a hard (hip ; for the arrange¬ ments neceffary to be made, improve our mental faculties. We are obliged to look before us ; eveiy day will not provide for it¬ feif, as in fome of the molt fruitful climates, The ground muft be prepaicda year before we reap the crop. It is true we may overftep the medium—the climate may be too rigor¬ ous. Both ext ernes are to be avoided—too much heat and too much cold may be ecjnal- ly inconvenient, though in different ways— the former by making us indolent and ftu- pid, and the latter by requiring too much bodily exertion. In a country like this, where induftry is fure to be rewarded moft bountifully, we have left reafon to complain than the Otaheitan who can live upon the fpontaneous production of his iiland. Our induftry gives us moral habits. It has al¬ ways been obferved that the firft efletUial leffon of civilization given to fava.ges is to teach them the value of regular habits—to rear domeMic animals or to cultivate the ground. Until they have attained the pa!lo- ral ftate, they have no leifure 10 think o^ their improvement in morals or in knowledge. Their time is eonfunred in preparing for the day that pales over them—and in civilized life the moft wicked are commonly ihofe who have the leall induftry. But ftiil thofe tion, or are more anxious to fucceed. The fportfman delights not in the number ci r,:}\ that he takes, but in his (kill fa catehine- them ; and he is infinitely bftter :1c:'fed with one that has called f rth all his ingenu¬ ity, than with thoufands which give tip the Cdntefl without a ftruggle. Offer him in trie morning more than he can pofiibly catch during the day:—adviie him to flqy at home, and not to expolc himtelf to fatigue ard tli: certainty of Bringing on difeafe ; and he will laugh at your precautions. He goes out fur the very reafons with which you wi(h to n\[- ' fuade him from goingi The ohftacles which he muft encounter add keenrefs to his pOr- fuit ; and \ih pleafure increafes in pmpcrti m to th- Hiimber and ^rcatnefs cf the obllruc- tion.i which he has overcome. Indeed, things eafiiy effected never intereil the heart; be- caufe they potTef« not the power of diflurb- in^; it with fears of mifcarriat/e, or of roufinor it into adtion with the hopes or luceef?;— Perhaps too the value 0f moft things keeps pace with then quired extni«:n to obtain them. The more ordinary difficulties t>f Wii therefore, are fo far frofa being evils, that they were advantageous. They ket p u> em¬ ployed ; and lie whofc mind is Occupied, and happy. ni'iri THE DQ2EDON COURIER.
