opposite side Of the Channel. The genius
Of Albion was not just then in the mood
for receiving visits, or welcoming the re-
turn of absentees; and so the steam-packet
lay fretting in the harbor, and rubbing
her sides peevishly against the pier; while
her intended passengers we're distributed
among the hotels and boarding houses,
venting their discomfort on the good things
of the table dhote, and mounting every
now and then to the garret to throw a
scowling look to windward.

Follow your Wotler Impulses.

Hardly day Or an hour passes, in our
free intercourse with the world, and in the
diversified details of business, when we arc
not called upon to make some decision in
volving to greater or less degree the
feelings and interests of our fellow
The circumstances in which we make these
decisions mag be more or less trying to
our virtue and generosity. Gases not un-
frequently occur in every mans life when
the temptation is strong to perform some
mean act, under the influence of envy,
jealousy, or wounded pride, at the same
time that there is voice within whisper
ing that it would be better to take another
course-to stand upon higher ground
And yet the heart is exceedingly apt to
yield itself to the suggestion of the meaner
motive There is strange delusion which
often creeps over the mind in such cir
cumstances, suggesting that in order to
show ones self person of spirit and char
aeter, he must do something which his
conscience and better Judgment will not
approve. As we look around among men,
we are struck with the different conduct of
individuals, when placed in circumstances
involving this kind of trial There are
certain men, who, when they find them.
selves situated in this way, will, almost to
certainty, attempt to free themselves By
q mean course of action. Even when the
temptation from without is slight, still
they will almost surely fall under the do
minion of the baser and more unworthy
motive, and act accordingly. While there
are other men. upon whom you can scarce
ly bring an amount Of temptation which
she'll repress the higher, loftier impulses Of
their nature. They will rise out of every
difficulty, every trial, purer and nobler
men than be.o-e. This latter class have
accustomed themselves to follow their no.
bier impulses, until it has become luxury
to them always to be high-minded and
generous, while the others have so long
yielded to their meaner tendencies, that
the power to send forth volitions in the
opposite direction seems to be practically
dead. To the young especially, it is there
fore of immense Importance, that they
should early give heed to the better and
mere generous impulses of their hearts,
and follow them, even though it costs them
a severe present struggle. When this
habit is once formed, it is almost impossi-
bic to uproot this tendency to meanness.-

When bright in peaceful glory shone
