LIFE WITHOUT LovE.-We sometimes meet
with men who seem to think that any indul.
senee in an affectionate feeling is weakness.--
They will return. from journey, and greet
their families With distant dignity, and move
among their children with the cold and lofty
splendor Of an iceberg, surrounded BY its bro-
ken fragments. There is hardly more IN.
natural sight on earth than one Of those fami4
lies without a heart. Afathef had better ex-
inguish aboy's eyes than take away hishesrt.
Who that has experienced the Joys Of eriead-
ship, and y1ues sympathy and affection, would
not rather lose all that is beautiful in natures
scenery than robbed Of The hidden treas sure Of
his heart? Cherish, .hen, your hearts best
affections. Indulge in the warm and gushing
emotions Of filial, paternal love.

Young Men.

| love to look upon young man. -
There is hidden potency concealed with
in his breast which charms and pains me.
l silently ask !: What will that youth ac'
complish in after life! Will he take rank
with the benefactors or scoargers Of bis
race? Will he exhibit The patriotic vir.
tues of Hampden and Washington. or the
selfish craftiness Of Benedict Arnold! If
he gave genius will he consecrate it. like
Milton and Montgomery, TO humanity
and religion; or like Moore and Byron,
to the polluted altars of passion? If he
have mercantile skill, will be employ il
like Astor, 10 crafty his lust Of wealth, or
to elevate and bless humanity, like some
of our merchant princes ? If the gift of
eloquence be hidden in his undeveloped
soul, will he use it like Summerfeld, in
favor Of religion, or like Patrick Henry
or Adams, in battling for human rights /;
or will he, COR mnmon's sake prostitute
that gift to the use of tyranny and inidel-
ily Will that immortal soul, which
beams with intelligence and power in his
countcnance, ally itself with its Creator
and thus rise to the sublime height Of
destiny or will it wage war with truth
and duty, and thus sink to degradation
and death! As raise these great que
ries, al once do reverence 10 the high
potentiality of his nature, and tremble fol
his Daniel Wise.

cent visit to that city Of Rev. Mr.. Waldo,

was invited by The Chaplain of The United
States Naval Asylum to preach there to
the officers and sailors. He gave his
hearers an able and instructive discourse
taken from St. Luke, viii.24: 'And they
came TO him and awoke him, saying Mas
ter, Master, we perish Then he arose
and rebuked the winds and the raging Of
the waters; and they ceased, and there
was calm At the conclusion, he re-
marked that he had preached that very
sermon FoRTY.FIvE YEARS ago, on board
the frigate Constitution in 1912, then un-
der the command Of Commodore Hull
and he had curiosity to know whether
amongst his present hearers they were
any who were then on that ship. lfthere
were such, he would be pleased if they
would make themselves known to him.
After the services. Commodore Slower
the Governor Of the Asylum, came for
ward and told Mr. Waldo that he himself
was midshipman on the Constitution a
that timo. Three old tars then came
forward and took the old venerable maj
Of God by the hand and told him the!
Iwere then boys on that ship.
