Worthily to love. and fondly to
devote ourselves to the happiness of
another, who deserves our high, re-
gard, is not condemned by religion.
1t is not even weakness which it
permits and deplores, but a virtue
which it sanctions and commands.
The heart that is deceived or be.
trayed, need not augment its anguish
by self-reproach. Love is not only
an innocent, but a noble passion
When guided and controlled by reli-
glon, it is the gem of all social vir-
tues-the cement and the soiace of
the various relations of human life.
When rewarded with the hallowed
possession of its object. it strews the
path of duty with flowers, and scents
the air with fragrance; when anf'r-
tunate, and ill.requited, it becomes
absorbed in high and holy principles;
investing resignation with un.
wonted sublimity, aud extracting
from earthly disappointments the
calm satisfaction of heavenly hope.
The process by which it i, thus trans
formed, may impair the. fragile tene:
ment in which it is enshrined; and
the dross of mortality, in such a fur.
mace, may melt away into its kin.
dred earth; but the soaring, unrobed
spirit, returns to God who gave 1t,
and at last enjoys repose where 1t
first desired existence.

A private of the name of Mackay,
a man of the most reckless, daring,
and eccentric character. used to be
the delight of the biyouacs OF the 42d,
during the Peninsular War. lie had
a great deal of that coarse but eftec-
tive wit and drollery which never
fail to call forth peal of mextln-
guishable laughter; he abounded IN
anecdotes and stories, which he told
with remarkable degree of Baivette
and humor: and often did he beguile
the watches Of the night. as poor AL
len did to Mungo Park, "by sing
ing the songs of our dear native
land The moment Mackay made
his appearance, hunger, and thirst
and fatigue were forgotten, the sol
diers clustered around him, like a
parcel of school boys eager to witness
a cock fight, and seating themselves
around the watch-fres. thought only
oflistening to the joke, the tale, or
the song. Even some of the officers
did not disdain to mingle in these
parties, and to acknowledge the pow
erful fascination which hung on the
lips of this unlettered soldier. Nor
was his humor. mirth, aud song con-
fined to the march and the camp; in

hearing Mackay's full and deep-toned
voice peeling forth " Scots wha haze

tive diagonal fire from the enemy's
artillery on the heights above the
village of St. Aces. A soldier DOLLY
knows the effect of such an incident
at such moments" Yet this Singh
lar man was seized with one OF those
fatal preseutiments of which | . have a..
been speaking. On the eve OF the
battle of Toulouse, he suddenly ee-
came thoughtful and silent. Ills pre-
vious character rendered this change
more apparent, and bis comrades
crowded round him to inquire the
reason, being at first inclined TO gioe
him with what they called his "me'
thodist face;;" but on observing his
detected look, the wild and unearth-
~ expression of his eye, and the de-
fermined obstinacy with which he re-
sisted all solicitations to join their
party, as usual, they stared at each
other with establishment, and ceased
