"TTc that rcpeateth a matter seParateth very
friends"
There is a class Of people TO be found
everywhere, who, under prelence oI do
ing YOU friendly act, make mischief be-
tween you and your friends. They DO II
by repeating any Iillle remarks which
may happen TO be un(avorabIe TO the ab-
sent party, and which, but for being told
him by the ohicious friend, would never
have done him any harm, or created any
coIdness between him and their author.
In speaking of friends separated from
this cause we would not be understood TO
mean friends in the strlctest sense Of the
Ierm-such for instance, as Cicero de-
.cribes them in his treatise OF Friend
ship'-but merely such as are called, and
may be considered very good friends as
the world goes; which means little else
ihan not being enemies-as ls, II we may
so speak, rather a negative than positive
friendship. But any friendship which Is
sincere as far as it goes, is better than en-
nifty; and hence they do a very serious
injury who, by their oflicousness or false
pretence, cause disafrecIion between you
and your friends or ighb0Is-whlchI last,
now we come to think of il, is the more
proper word.
These lalebearers possibly may some
times be aciusted by friendly mouve,but
if so, their zeal sadly oulruns their dIscic-

We have most sovereign contempt not
to say abhorrence, of this species Of 60 be-
tween friends. Our charity, which opens
the door Of kindness TO all classes Of peO-
pie, well high refuses TO be at home TO
mis-: and we would much rather forgive
the person who says an unjust thing Of
Us. lhan the ofIicious wretch who reports
il to our ears. There is in his conduct
something like malice PrePense; because
he knows, before repeating them, that the
offensive remarks will he likely 10 make

before him, he does not restrain bis vile
desire for bIabbing. Such person.
whether he acts from sheer lhoughiless
ness. or from an oGious londness for mis-
chief, is not of nature to be trusted. He
Is below the confidence OF friendship; Is q
dangerous and troublesome neighbor, and
is by all means TO be avoided.
How many hifing things are every day

even to the best of persons; but could do

THE DEATH OF FRIENDS.
BY JOSEPH II BJTLER.

One by one, like rosy blossoms,
Earthly friends around US fall
Oft the deayas: tn our bosoms
Are the fraiiest of them all !
Hearts there are of slerner fashion
Tina, each loss can calmly bear-
Others swoyed by softer passion
Keenly feel each sorrow there.
Why was not a sterner nature
Made my portion here below ?
Wise, | know, is our Creator,
Tho' nis wi;l We may not kEow--
have lived TO see Iife's beauty
Stricken from its fragile tree
Spirit aid me in my duty,
Let me bow and trust TO Thee.
Aany a bosom friend departed
Make my days seem desolate
Lovely ones and faithful hearted
Died beneath the blast Of fate
May | learn this truthful lesson,
Earthly joys are born TO die
Seek my soul deathless blessing
In fadeless world on high
| remember some in sorrow,
Not unmixt with tenderesl love-
They have found brighter morrow
In their sainted homes above
But feel Il lonely stranger
As life's changing days decline,
When in trial and in danger
Where's the tear 10 answer mine g?
