II may be asked, and why was the min.

been wont to held pious communion q

B@. OccurArioN!- what glorious
thing it is for the human heart. Those
who work hard seldom yield themselves
up to fancied or real sorrow. When
grief sets down, folds its hands, and
mornfully feeds upon its own tears,
weaving the dim shadows, that little
exertion might sweep awsy, into funer
al pail. the strong spirit Is shorn Of its
might, and sorrows become our master
When troubles flow upon, dark and
heavy, toll not with the waves-wrestIe
not with the torrent !-rather seek, by
occupation, to devert the dark waters
that threaten TO overwhe!m you, into a
thousand channels which the duties Of
life always present. Before you dream
Of it. those waters will fertilize tho
present, and give birth to fresh flowers
that may brighten the future-aowers
that will become pure and holy, in the
sunshine which penetrates 10 the path
Of duty, in spite Of every obstacle
Grief, after, all is but selfish telling !;
and most selfish is the man who yields
himself to the indulgence Of any passion
which brings no JOY to his fellow. man.

Having Enemies.

A MAN that has soul worth a six.
pence must expect to have enemies. 1t
is utterly impossible for the best OF men
to please the whole world, and the soon.
er ,hsis understood, and position ia.
ken in view OF the fact, the better.-
Even when pretended friends are fawn.
ing upon you, seeking 10 gain something
through your influence or your me ans, il
is well to understand whether they are
not your worst enemies. There is such
a small sprinkling of disinterestcd friend.
ship in our present competitive state Of
society, that there is very little danger in
mistaking a true friend when you really
look sharp about you. Such an indi.
vidual comes not with loud and blatant
professions Of good to you, nor with the
mask Of dissimulation upon his brow
but with candid demeanor. plain deal.
ing and few or no professions. Unlike
the "aitful dodser," who is your seeming
friend to accommodate his own selfish
purposes. the honest men is chary Of his
compliments and would "not Ga,ter
Neptune for his trident, nor Jove for his
power TO thunder" He is reader TO
grant you ravors than to receive them,
aud bestows gracious y his benefits rath'
ter than his smiles.
Men must expect enemies just in the
proportion that they ate thriving. "En.
Wy, hatred and malice, and all unchar.
itableness," are weeds Of rank growth in
the soil Of the present times. There are
enough of mean souls at every step Ia.
ken in the path Of life who would like
to prevent your success. And they hate
you so long as you prosper; if for no
other reason, simply because they are
not excellins you in your labor and
your prosperity. 1t were Of little use
TO heed them or their efforts; the surest
and best way 10 triumph is 10 live down
their petty ISLANDERS and calumnies.- :
Such enemies arc towards and they hate
you because they fear you.
The true motto for life is, to do right
and let the consequences take care Of
themselves. 1t is all sheer vanity to
strive to accommo late yourself at every
point TO the whims and notions Of some
other persons, and try TO square your
IDEAS to please this or that sect or party.
On the score Of mere personal gain
alone, you must inevitably be the loser;
and once losing sight Of your integrity
and independence you hecome the slave
OF petty tyrants ard make for yourself
burdens heavy to be borne.
Do right-thouSh you have enemies.
You cannot escape them by doing wrong.
And it is little gain TO barter away your
honor and integrity, and divest yourself
of moral courage. to gain what? Moth.
ing. Better abide by the trutIi-hown
down all opposition. and rejoice in the
feeling which must inspire free and
independent man.
