THE AFFECTIONS.

There is famous passage in the wri-
tings of Rosseau, that great delineator of
the human heart, which is as true to
human nature as it is beautiful in ex
preston: "Were l in desert, would
find wherewiih in it to call forth my af-
f-ctions. If l could do no better, l
would fasten them on some sweet myrtle
or some melancholy cypress, to connect
my sell to; | would court them for their
shade. and greet them kindly for their
protection. l would write my name up
on them. and declare they were the
sweetest trees throug ghout all the desert.
If their leaves wi;hered. l would teach
myself TO mourn, and when they rejoic.
ed l would rejoice, along with them"
Such is the absolute necessity which ex-
lists in the human heart of having some
thing to love- Unless the affections have
an object. life itself becomes joyless and
insipid. The affections have this pecu-
liarity. that they are not so much the
means of happiness. as their exercise is
happiness itself. Aud not only so, if
they have no object, the happiness de-
rived from other power is cut off. Ac-
lion and enterprise flag. if there be no
object dear to the heart, to which these
actions can be directed.
