The Philanthropy of Common Life.

There are those who, with kind of
noble but mistaken aspiration, are ask
ing for life which shall, in its form
and outward course, be more spiritual
and divine than that which thew are
obliged to live They think thatif they
could devote themselves entirely owhat
are called the labors Of philanthropy.
to visiting the poor and sick, that would
be well and worthy-and so it would
be- They think that if it could be in
scrlbod on their tombstones that they
bad visited a million Of couchcs Of dis
ease, and carried balm and soothing to
them, that would be a glorious record
and so it would be. But let me tell
you that the million occasions will come
--ay in the ordinary paths of life, in
your houses and by your frcsidcs-
wherein you may act as nobIy as if all
your life long you had visited beds Of
sickness and pain.
Yes, | say, the million occasions will
come, varying every hour, in which you
may restrain your passions, subduo your
hearts to gentloness and patience re
sign your own interest to another's ad-
vantage, speak words Of kindness and
wisdom, raise the fallen, and cheer the
fainting and sick in spirit, and soften
and assuage the wcariness and bitter
ness Of the mortal lot. These cannot.
indeed, be written on your tombs, for
they are not ono series Of specific ac-
Jions, like those of what is technically
denominated philanthropy But in
them, / say, you may discharge Offices
not less glorious for yourselves than the
solfdeniaIs of the far-famed sisters of
charity, than the labors of Howard or
Oberliu, or than the sufforings of the
martyrod host Of Gods elect. They
shall not be written on your tombs, but
they are written deep in the hearts Of
friends, of child~3n. of kindred
all around you; they are written in thc
