HUMAN ENJOYMENTS. Human enjoyments indeed there are, nor does our father grant them with a sparing hand ;Jbr he remembers we are dust. Infancy and youth, and matured Hfe, have their pe- culiar, appropriate satisfactions. But we know from experience that they ar6 fluctu- ating, that the memory of our early joys is all of them that now remains, and that there is indeed a melancholy pleasure in remem- bering them. In old age the senses decay, the memory fails, the fire of imagination is extinguish...ed, the sources of enjoyment are gradually dried up. Human enjoyments not only fade and decay; tliey are often blasted in the bud or the blossom. We sel- dom live long without something to allay our happiness, to tell us that we are men, and that man is born to trouble. Beside the real disappointments and evils of life, there are imaginary evils. Darkness overspreads the soul. All earthly enjoyments lose their relish. Even friends displease. — How vain and insuf- fioient are human enjovments !
