palhy with the happiness of those a
round US. 1t bespeaks the disposition
of beneyolence and it creates it. When
men assemble, accordingly, for the pur
pose of general happiness, or joy they
exhibit to the thoughtful eye one of the
most pleasing appearances oftheir orig
ina character. They leave behind
them for time, the faults of their sta
ton and the asperties of their temper;
they forget the secret views and the
selfish purposes of their ordinary life,
and mingle with the crowd around them
with no other view than to receive and
communicate happiness. II is specta-
Gle which it is impossible to observe
without emotion and while the virtuous
man rejoices al that evidence which it
affords of the benevolent constitution of
his nature, the pious man is apt to bless
the benevolence of that God who thus
makes The wilderness and the solitary
place be glad, and whose wisdom rem,
derscven the hours of amusement sub
servien, to the cause Of virtue. 1t is
not, therefore, the use Of the innocent
amusements oflife which is dangerous
but the abuse Of them; it is not wher
they are occasionally, but when they
are constantly pursued; when the love
of Amusement, degenerates into a pass
ion; and when from being an occasional
indulgence, it becomes a habitual de
sire.-AHSon.

AQuestion without an Answer

kind Of rustical worthless were con-
vened around the fire in avillage tav-
ern. The blacksmith, the barber, the
constable, and the schoolmaster was
there. After they had guzzled and
smoked to their hearts content, and
when all the current topics Of the day
had been exhausted, the schoolmaster
proposed new kind of game, 10 relieve
the monotony of the evening. Each
one waste propose puzzle tohis neig E.
bors, and whoever should propose a
question which he himself could not
solve, was to pay The reckoning for the
whole. The idea pleased: and the
schoolmaster, by virtue of his station
called on Dick bolt, whom most folks
thought a fool, and a few knew for a
knave to put the first question. Neigh
bors; said Dick, drawing, and looking
inefably stupid, "youv'e seen where
squirrels dig their holes: can any you
tell why they don't throw out any dirt?
This was poser; and after long cogi-
tation, even the master, was obliged to
give it up. 1t now devolved upon Dick
to explain. The reason is, said Dick;
that the first begin at the bottom of the
hole. Stop, stop, cried the pedagogue,
! startled out of all his prudence and pro-
priety, by so monstrous an assertion,
pray how does the squirrel get there?-
All master, replied the delighted Dick,
grinning, that's the question Of your
own wise asking. You're in for the
liquor.

The Mind and tho BODY.

Few know thedemands made the ina

masters Dad It's victims. Its exercise is
so feverish and SO exciting; the cheek
burn s. the pulse beats aloud, the whele
frame trembles with eagerness dnring
the progress Of composition. For the
time you are what you create. The ex-
haustion of this process is not felt ill
some other species ofexertion makes its
demand on the already wrought
frame; the overstrained nerves begin
to discover that they hove been wound
to the utmost. There is no strength left
to bear lile's other emotions.
Moreover, there is a time when ever y
writer asks himself, has he not follow q
the shadow, not the substancei that his
noblest hopes, his most earnest aspir
atoms, have been given those who know
not what the gilt shall cost.
Fame seems afar off, and cold sunshine
and the eager readiness Of tn ought
which formed in the slightest thing
matter for some graceful fancy, which
at once sprang INTO music, seems colo

wells how he ever wrote, and feels a

another view, OF some importance tothe
dignity ofindividual character. In ev-
nv thing we call amusement there Is
generally some display of taste and O
Imagination; some elevation oflhe mInd
from mere annual indulgence, or ths
baseness of sensual desire. Even Il

FOR BEHOLD THE KINGDOM OF
GOD Is WITHIN YOU.
By. II, w. PORTLAND.

Pilgrim 20 the heavenly city,
Cropping wildered on thy way;
Look not TO the outward landmark,
List not what the blind guides say.
For long years thou hast been seeking,
Some new idol found each day;
All that dezzlsd, all that gIittered,
Lured thee from the pa;h away.
On the outward world relying,
Earthly treasures ,hoI wouldst heap;
Titled frients and lofty honofs
Lull ;ly higher hopes to sleep.
Thou art stored with worldly wisd ON,
All tha lore of books is thine,
And within thy stately mansion,
Brightly sparkle wi; and wine.
Richly dfoo the silken curtains,
Round those h gh and mirrored halls;
And on messy Persian cafpetsr
Silently s1y pso1d step falls.
Not ;ho g.ntIs winds of heaven
Dares too roughly fan thy brow,
Nor the mornings blessed sunbeams
hinge thy cheek WITH rudy giuw.
Ysi midst all these outward riches,
Has thy hsart no void contest
Whispering, though each visible grentedo
Still, oh stsll am not blessed!
And when happy, careless children,
Lured thee with their winning ways,
Thou hadst sighed in vain conuition,
Give me back those golden days.
Ifads. thou stopped TO learn sheir lesson
Truthful preacheTs-they had told
Thou thy kingdom hadst forsaken,
Thon hast thy own birthtignt sold
Thou ar; heir 10 vast possessions,
Up ami boldly claim thine own:
Ssizs the crown Emit waits thy wearing.
Leap a, oncs il.o thy throne.
Look not TO some clouoy Mansion,
'hlong the planets iaI away;
Trust no; 20 the staut tntdre,
10; thy heaven begin to-day.
V'hcu thy struggling soal hath conquered,
~ hen the pash hes fair and clear,
When ;hoI art prepared heaven,
Thou wilt hnI that heaven is here.
