For the Spirit of the Age
Philanthropy.

What is ii? Philanthropist who is he?
In this age of selfishness and bigotry, the
questions may we'll be p%ropounded and at
this day when the world is filed with gull
bility and inordinate credulity, it will be well
if they can be truthfully answered. Does
philanthropy consist in glazing deeds, huge
manifestations or loud protestations and
windy professions no, indeed but | very
much fear, 1t is too often shamelessly used
as an ordinary hobby-horse by those whose
only object and aim, is to mount and ride
their own egotistical selves into public no.
tice, whilst they care not a bawbee for the
noble steed upon whose back they are car
ried along.
A man may travel for years, engaging IN
eloquent harangues or in making the arch
of Heaven hideous with discord and empty
defamation upon philanthropic subjects,
and yet, if his main object be self-promotion
and self glori6cation, he is no philanthropist.
A man may write folio upon folio, or make
every newspaper in the land groan with his
logical productions or his n~escient illusions.
and should his sole purpose be to bring his
own puny, or brazen self into notice, he is
by no means q philanthropist. A man may
perform all these things, and q hundred fold
besides, and still never entertain nor cherish
the first feeling of love, nor pure benevolence
for those who are connected by ties of con-
sanguinity, much less his fellow men.
Viii God prosper the works of such men ?
Surely not. All is not gold that glitters
and it would be well for us if we would look
deeper into the conduct and motives of men,
before we yield a ready credence to their
professions and appearances.

Hay day.

The hay making days are at hand. The
tender blades of the grass and the modest
lilies are falling before the glittering blades
of the mowers. They march through the
green sward with steady tramp, while their
ringing scythes rise and fall as ifto the notes
of some old time melody. As the blades
glide through the grass, there comes up a
signing, half musical swoop.
Now, as the day declines, the whitening
blades weep out a grateful odor until
the meadow is filed with the fragrance of a
boquet, that perfumer's art has never yet
been able to initiate.
What a glorious place and season to make
Lowell In olden times, the maidens helped
in the hay harvest, and gallant hands they
were tool The meadows and the 'winnows3
what volumes of sweet, delicate sentiment
they have witnessed and could unfold if they
had lips and power of speech! They have
listened to the fondest declarations of love
from honest SWANS to blushing maidens,
which, in sincerity and purity would shame
those who walk in the glddy circles of upper
tendon.
Have not the fragrant, steaming winnows
seen blush respond to blush as sly glances
were cast across the -sward? It is a great
thing to make hay when the young men and
maidens make the cold meadow ring with Joy.

SoBRIETY AMONG CANDIDATES AND OFFICE
HoLpERs.--Thore are persons who affect to
believe there is something monstrously OBJ
j%ectionable in Temperance men and Temper
ance Associations pledging themselves not
to vote for any mar who is opposed to the
Temperance Reform. Why as long ago as
in the days of the illustrious jefferson, when
the philosophy of temperance had been but
partially investigated, he said if he were
called upon to administer the government
again, he would make the use of intoxicating
liquors Il disqualification for Office. A wiser
ruler said many centuries ago, . it is not for
princes to drink, lest they forget the law and
pergert the judgment of any of the afflicted
Even "a China, a late imperial doeree pro
hibits the use Of wine TO any member of the
court. Penetrated with the conviction that
Personal Abstinence is the very pivot of this
whole reform, and that the vice Of drinking
in high places is now tho most formidable
obstacle to the suppression OF Intemperance,
temperance men have not concealed the re-
greet with which they hear of the nomination
for prelermcnt and public honor, of men who
drink anu men VINO sell, ana especially Oh
the most prominent liquor seller at the seat
Of legislation, who has continued to dispense
these demoralizing wares in the very pre-
cincts of the Capitol. And it is certainly
no new doctrine with Temperance Societies,
and any such Society would be untrue to its
principles, indeed, forfeit every claim to pub
lie respect, if from any p%artizan afinities, on
the one hand, or any fear Of the old charges
of presumption, dictation, or interference on
the other, it should shrink from again and
again declaring, that all Governors, Presi.
dents, Legislators andall other public officers,
whatever, owe it to the moral sense Of the
people, owe it to the vital interests of this
reform, and even to tho honor of their ad.
ministration, to avoid the very appearance
Of sauctioning the manufacture, the sale, OF
the use, of intoxicating drinks"
