Home Affections

The heart has memories that never die.
The rough rubs Of the world cannot obliter
ate them. They are memories Of home,
early home. There is magic in the very
sound. There is the old tree under which
the light-hearted boy swung many day
yonder the river in which he learned to
swim; there the house in which he knew a
parents love, and found parents protec-
tion-nay, there is the room in which he
romped with brother or sister, long since,
alas laid in the yard in which he must
soon be gathered, overshadowed by yon old
church, whittier with joyous troop like him.
self he has often followed his parents to
worship with, and hear the good old man
who ministered at the altar. Why, even
the very school.house, associated in youth
full days with thoughts of ferule and tasks,
now comes back to bring pleasant remem-
brances Of many an occasion that called
forth some generous exhibition Of the no
blest traits Of human nature. There is
where he learned to feel some Of his best
emotions. There, perchance, he first met
the being who, by her love and tenderness
in after life, has made a home for himself,
happier even than that which his childhood
knew. There are certain feelings Of hu-
mainly, and those too among the best, that
can find an appropriate place for their ex-
ercise only by ones own fre-side. There
is sacredness in the privacy Of that which
il were species Of dissertation to violate.
He who seeks wantonly to invade il, is
neither more nor less than villain; and
hence there exists no surer test Of the de-
basement of morals in community, than
the disposition to tolerate in any mode the
man who disregards the sanctilies OF private
life. In the turmoil of the world let there
be at least one spot where the poor man
may find affection that is disinterested,
where he may indulge confidence which
is not likely to be abused.-Dr. Haickes.

Beau mont and Fletcher

Had, with the advantage Of Shakspeare's
wit, which was their precedent, great natu-
raj gifts, improved by study; Beaumont,
especially, being so accurate a Judge Of
plays, that Ben Jonson, while he lived,
submitted all his writings to his censure,
and, tits thought. used his judgment in cor.
recting, if not contriving, all his plots
What value he had for him, appears by
the verses he writ TO him, and, therefore,
| need speak no farther of 1t. The first
play that brought Fletcher and him in es-
TEEN was their "Philaster;" for before that
they had written two or three very unsuc-
cessful; as the like is reported OF Ben
lJonson, before he writ "Every Man in his
Humor.' Their plots were generally more
regular than Shakspeare's especially those
which were made before Beaumont's death;
aud they understood and initiated the con.
versation OF gentlemen much BETTER whose
wild debaucheries, and quickness Of vii
in repartees, no poet before them could
paint as they have done. Humor, which
Ben Jonson derived from particular per.
sons, they made it not their business
to describe; they represented all the pas
sions very lively, but above all, love-
| am apt to believe the English language
in them arrived to its highest perfection
what words have since been taken in, are
rather superfuous than ornamental. Then
plays are now the most pleasant and FIRE.

Of Shakspeare's or Jonson's-the reason
is, because there is certain gaiety in their
comedies, and pathos in their more serious
plays, which suits generally with all men

EAees Of slight Devtnsteu..

IT'S strange to imagine, says the Earl o
Shaftesbury, that war, which Of all thing,
appears the most savage, should be the pas
sion Of the most heroic spirits. By small
misguidance OF the affections, a lover o.
mankind becomes ravager, hero and de
liverer becomes an oppressor and destroyer
This is the vice, and this is the misguidanct
which large proportion of the writers Of
every civilised country are continually occa
sioning and promoting; and thus, withou,
perhaps any purpose Of mischief, they con.
tribute more to the destruction OF mankind
than rapine Or ambition. A writer thinks,
perhaps, that it is not much harm to ap.
plaud bravery. The divergency from virtue
may indeed be small in its beginning. but
the effect Of his applause proceeds in the
line of obliquily, until it conducts at last to
every excess OF outrage, to every variety oil
crime, to every mode of human destruc
ton.

Choice Of a wife.

When it shall please God to bring thee
to mans estate, use great providence and
circumspection in choosing thy wife. For
from thence will spring all thy future good
or evil. And it is an action OF life, like
unto stratagem Of war; wherein man
can err but once. IL thy estate be good,
match near home, and at leisure; if weak,
far off and quickly. Inquire diligently OF
her disposition, and how her parents have
been inclined (well-born) in their youth.
Let her not be poor, how generous soever.
For man can buy nothing in the market
with gentility. Nor choose base and
uncomely creature altogether for wealth;
for it will cause contempt in others, and
loathing in thee. Neither make choice OF
a dwarf, or a fool; for. by the one thou
shalt beget a race Of pigimies; the other
will be thy continual disgrace, and it will
yirke thee to hear her talk. For thou
shalt find it, to thy great grief, that there
is nothing more fulsome than a she-fool.

Brutes are sensitive beings. capable Of,

lowed with instinct, which is probably a
iomi Of intellect inferior to our own, but
which, being generically unlike to ours. VIC
are unable to understand They differ from
us chiefly in being destitute Of any moral
faculty. We do not stand to them in the
relation of equality. Our right is paramount
and must exlinguish theirs. We have, there
fore. right to use them. to promote our
comfort, and may innocently take their Lie.
4 our necessities demand it. This right over
Them is given to us by the revealed will OF
God. But inasmuch as they, like ourselves,
are creatures of God, we have no right to
use them in any other manner than that
which God has permitted. They, as much
as ourselves, are under His protection. We
may therefore use them, LIST, for our neces.
sites. We are designed to subsist partly
upon animal food; and we may innocently
slay them for this purpose. I'd, We may
use them for labor, or for innocent physical
recreation, as when we employ the horse Tor
draught or for the saddle. Sd, But while we
so use them, we are bound to treat them
kindly, to furnish them with sufficient food
and with convenient shelter. He who can.
not feed brute well, ought not to own one.
And when we put them to death, it should
be with the least possible pain. 4th, We arr
forbidden to treat them unkindly on any pre-
tence, or for any reason. There can be ne
clearer indication Of degraded and ferociou'
temper than cruelty to animals. Hunting
in many cases, and horse-racing, seem to me-
liable to censure in this respect. WHY

The Races Of Man.

No race will amalgamate with any other;
they die out, or seem slowly to become ex-
tinct, as the Copt Of antiquity and the Coptic
portion Of the modern Jews; perhaps even
Tie whole Hebrew family: or they destroy
each other: but nations Of mules, or mulat-
toes, as they are called, nature will not sup
port Whilst | now write, the papers
say that the Blacks and the Browns are
carrying on a war Of determination in
Hayti. 1t must always come to this. But
why 60 to the Blacks and the Browns of Hay
ii? This is the shallow view Of the surface
politician, the surface thinker, the surface
ethnologist, and statesman, who affect not
to see solid distinction in race unless it
be as wide as is the negro from the Saxon.
The Sarmatian and the Sclavonian differ as
widely from the Celt and the Saxon as does
the Negro from the Mongol, the Bosiesman
from the copper-colored Chenook. Ten
centuries ago and more, the Sclavonian
race, under various names-Huns, Cloths,
Croats, Bohemians-broke into Central
Germany and Italy, and founded the So
called German Empire. They pushed their
race into Austria and Flanders, where traces
Of the blood still exist They reached the
shores Of the Baltic, and peopled Finland;
their Government and leading men used
every endeavor to be mistaken for Ger
mans, to be identified with the classic Ger.
mans Of Northern Europe, to represent the
German nations; and now, after ten centu-
ries Of false pretences, look at them now.
Have they amalgamated? Have they be-
come Germans? No; the real Germans
keep aloof from them; they repudiate them.
