a year they fill out, and Mrs. B goes

'misanthrope J why" is ; it that nearly
everybody .will listen to the story with
a complacent face, and exclaim: iTm
o sorry ! but it is just as I expected!"
If fome man of high standing is
convicted of forgery or any other crime
rwby is it that people seem to rejoice
-over ur i
Success Is alurayes worshiped by the
crowd, and yet that same crowd inva-
riably manifest satisfaction' when sue--cess
is changed to defeat.
How greedily the reports of rob
beries and defalcations and crimes of
every description, are .seized I ujk)u by
the public' It would "almost soem as
if nature rejoiced in informing itself
as to how depraved human . nature is
capable of becoming. " j
. ' TIow much more ready. men are to
believe evil of each other than good.
Let the report go abroad that the lie v.
Mr. Robinson has fed the hungry," and
clothed the naked, and lent a helping
hand to some fellow voyager in dis
tress, and nobody will be interested in
it! Nobody will smy: "I thought so!"
But just let tl.e word go forth; that .
the same gentleman jiAs ocen uugging
Johnson wife, and ;
see how every
head will be lifted, and ever' ear open
and every tongue ready to exclaim:
'l've always thought he was no better
than, he should be!'? ' .
.Why is it that when a man has
committed an error there are so many
hands ready to push him on to the
uext step of wrotig doing? and v so few.
extended to pull him back to the sure
footing of right? , ;
Whv is it, that whenever, the Uorld
. i ...
becomes cognizant of any s movement
it docs not thoroughly understand, it
imputes evil intentionji to those con
cerned in it? f
' Why do we, iu short, transgress
the laws of the land daily, which en.
j0ns jt upon us "to believe every man
innocent until lie is proved guilty,'!
and insist upon believing - every man
guilty until he i3 proved innocent?
-7 But these are conundrums to which
there can be no definit answer, unless
we give the reply of the old lady who
wss asked why it was that' some hens
had yellow legs and some hadn't?

It is, also, that the face only, nd that

that the hand or foot doe not turn red '

her fair daughters. They rcaught it
from the roses, for all the roses were
first white; but when Kve plucked one
the bad, seeing her own fair face', more
fair than the flower t, blushed, and
caught'its reflex on her velvet cheek.
The face is the tablet of the soul,whcrc.
in it unites iU actions. .There may
be traced all the intellectual phenom
ena with a confidence amounting to a
moral certainty. If inuocence and
purity look outward from within, no
less do vico intemperance and de

ardice and pasion leave their traces
deeper, even tlan the virtues of mod

beauty grows morn beautified from
the pure rhouWthat arise within it.

True politeness is perfect case
and freedom. It simply ., consists
in treating others- just as you love

Harmless mirth is the best cor
dial against the consumption of the
spirits; wherefore jesting is not un
lawful, if it trespasseth uot in quan
tity, quality, or season.
WrhosoeYf r is afraid of submit
ting any question, whether civil or
religious, to the test of free discus
sion, is more in love with hi3 own
opinion than he is with truth.
Wit loses Us respect with the
good when seen in company with
malice; and to smile at the jest
which plants a thorn ;in another's
breast is to become a principal in
the mischief. .
To tell your own secrets is generally
fully, but that folly is without guilt; to
communicate those with which we are
entrusted is always treachery and,
treachery, for the most part, combined
with folly.
Sympathy. It is by the passion
of sympathy that wo enter into the
concerns or others, teat we are
moved as the v arc moved, and are
never suffered to bo indifferent
spectators of almost anything that
men can do or suffer.
The spirit of true religion breaths
gentleness and affability; it is social,
kind and cheerful; far removed from
that glory superstition and bigotry
which cloud the brow, sour the temple
dijett the spirit and impress morose
ncss on the manners, .
Economy is an easy thing to ' divide
upon, but an ULccnfortable thing to
carry out, especially in household Bit
ters. The planing is pleasant enough,
but the execution u what troubles us.
We dislike to forego the accustomed
things which economy denies us, and
there is where the shoe pinches.
Speak kindly In the mo ruing; it
lightens the cares of the day, and
makes the household and all its afZairs
move along more csaocthly. . Spcik
kindly at night; for it may be that before
the dawn, some loved cue may finuh
his or her space of Hfj Car the . world,
and it will be too late to ask forgive
ncss. The setting cf a great hope b like
the setting of the sua. The bright
ncss of our life is gone. EhadoTJ cf

seems but a dull rejection itself a
broader shadow.. We look, forward iat
