Cares are Blessings

But who is better for being without carel

who never had an earthly wish that was

caprice is lawl Can two be more selfish
and useless, not to say vicious, than
they? lmbecile, unthankful, vain, ig.

this class are torments to themselves and
others. That parent is very unwise, who
anticipates every desire, and removes
every source of care that may lie in his
child's way. 1t were far better to teach
him to moderate his desires, and to labor
diligently for himself and the welfare Of
others.
Care sobers the mind, and makes Il

ness. The man who has business which
requires constant attention, and is faithful
in giving it the regard to which it is en-.
titled, is kept in a state Of mind which is
favorable to moral and religious culture.
The responsibilities which rest on him are
destined to make him thoughtful and seri-
Gus. and to restrain him from wayward and
evil tendencies. The slightest observation
will show that the industrious class of so.
ciety, both among the rich and the poor,
are the most virtuous, and are society's
pillars and ornaments.
There may be such thing, no doubt,
as too much care. Iron constitutions have

late so many worldly cares around them
that they chill their religious affections
and rob their souls ofpeace. Doubtless
large proportion of the hke-warmness
which now reigns among the people of
God, is to be traced TO an inordinate an.
xiety for increase of worldly estate, and
consequent increase of cares and perplex-
tiles and labors. a
But proper measure of life's cares is
blessing. The burden which they i'm.
pose may bend the frame, but the exer-
ton which it makes in bearing it will pro.
mote its health and vigor. They may
write wrinkles on the brow, but they also
inscribe peace and benevolence On the
heart. They cannot change the heart; but
their tendency is favorable to the work of
the spirit. They cannot sanctify the be-
lever, but they serve to prevent that levity
of mind which is one of the greatest hind

enforce lessons of dependence, and cult.

ENEMIEs.-Have you enemes7 Go
straight on and mind them not. IF they
block up your path, walk round them, and
do your duty regardless of their spite. A
man who has got no enemies is seldom
good for anything--he is made of that kind
of material which is so easily worked, that
every one has his hand in it. A sterling
character, one who thinks for himself. and
speaks what he thinks, is always sure to
have enemies. They are necessary to
him as fresh air: they keep him alive and
active. A celebrated character, who was
surrounded by enemies used to remark:
"They are sparks which if you do not
blow, will 60 out Of themselves" Let this
be your feeling, while endeavoring to live
down the scandal of those who are bitter
against you. If you stop to dispute, you
do but as they desire, and open the way
for more abuse. Let the poor fellows talk;
there will be reaction, if you perform
your duty, and hundreds who were once
alienated from you, will flock to YOU and
acknowledge their error

was wrung with anguish, and every mus
Gle was powerless. The rustics shrunk
back in terror, and many lass's fair
cheek was moistened with trickling tears:
it was ,a..sight tooxpainfdlly grand, TO be-
hold without emotion; to see that magnif-
cent animal, the king gof the forest, with
which we associate every idea of native
nobleness and magnanimity; to see him,
whom ponderous and mighty elephant
had failed to subdue, writhe under the
power of an inglorious reptile, and sink,
nevertheless; in the grasp of one Eof the
lowest created beings. The keeper who
had been struck with amazement at this
unexpected exhibition, was now terrified
beyond measure at the situation of his
royal favorite, and offered twice the amount
Of the stake if the victor would release
him. This offer he generously declined,
but pocketing the money which..was unani-
mously declared to be his, he bade him
keep the lion quiet for few. moments
This course the animal seemed prompted
to by instinct; he lay still as death, scarce
breathing, and motionless in every limb.
Very soon the tortoise finding..no violence
was intended, relaxed his hold, and the
lion started up.with bound and a yell
that shook the stoutest heart; but so en-
tirely exhausted was he, that he sunk into

A newspaper is the worlds record,
wherein are registered the doings and say
ings of every day active life. The mil.
lionaire on change, the pursuer of com
merce, the politician, the observer of the
phenomena of cause and effect, as well as
the less eager, are all intense to learn the
occurrences of the past, and how their in
terests are effected by the ebbing and flow
ing of the irresistible currents Of both the
social and pecuniary world. That family
circle is unsocial and morally blinded,
that does not possess one or more well
conducted newspapers, for its inmates to
peruse. cd ~ .tig0 aeq
