SYMPATHY,

The Duration ofman's existence from
the cradle TO- the tomb consists alter
nately Of Toys and sorrows, aud were il
not fOF the sympathy Of his fellows, his
Joys would be almost worthless, and
his sorrows more oppressive than be-
could bear.
During all ages he looks for. expects
and needs some one to sympathlse with
him. 10 lnfan,ine years ere the lispihg'
tongue can make known its desires, with
what an expressive look will it watch
for the smiles apd csresses OF mother,
and how quick will il shrink at the ap-
proach ofa straDger.-In youth, that pc
riod of life that is mostly free from the
anxieties OF business, and The cares Of
mankind, even then how natural Is' 1t TO
seek for one who has heart TO sympa-
thisest the loss Of something held dear
or at the disappointment of realizing an
expected pleasure. 10 manhood, al
though the feelings may have become
somewhat hardened by the vicissIIuOes
Of business, and he ,esemble the oak Of
the forest for his sturdiness, yet with
what quick and Fastening steps will he
seek his hOme.to spend The hours of dos
nestle retirement in relating his present
difficulties, and future prospects 10 the
partner Of his hopes and joys, and hnds
10 his wfe-one, whose ear 10 always o
pen to hear, and whose heart is ever
ready 10 eympa,hise with him. In old
age, when the frame becomes weak arc
tremuous-lhe eye dim, and the mind
burdened with remembrances of by gone
days; even then, will he seek for some
Que to wbnm he can reciie The story OF
mis- joys and sorrows in days Of e,and
whom he knows will ieel, and sympa-
lhlse with him at the recital. At the
real approach Of death, although by the
,o~er o. re lyon every fear may have
,eep rempved, and hope may be bright
vet who would not even then desire ths
the presence Of friends, and that III,
tear Of sympathy and affection shoul'
tlow al the ulterauce of the last, lon
farewell. 80.
Were it not for sympathy, cold, sac
and cbeerless, would be many day
which with it is spent in comparative
happiness; and that man who has not
ear to shed at the recital Of another
wrongs; an ear TO listen to the com
plains ofthe unfortunate; a hand to he
The needy; aword of comfort to the dis
lressed; or heart to sympathise wit
his fellows, is surely nutit to dwell in
civllsed community. and is a disgrac
} to the form of humanity fallen, even a
it already is. W, r, s.
