It is a creature of the mind more than the body, and the most common error we commit is that of estimating the happiness of men by their possession of what we suppose to be the means of being b«ppy- If it were possible for i.s to be content with ttar condition in life, without sinking into utter listlessness and apathy, that would probably come anything surnmum bonum which so puzzled the ancient philosophers. One day, as the Dervish Almoran, the wisest of all the followers of the prophet, anil the oracle of the chief Mufti of Stainboul, was sitting in a shady grove by the side of the babbling fountain on the shores of the liosphorus, trying to find out the true road to happiness, in order that he might benefit his lellow creatures by communicating the discovery, his speculations were interrupted by a man richly elothed, who, approaching, sat down and sighed heavily, crying out at the same time, • " Ob !
