MISCELLANEOUS READING.
EMPLOYMENT FOR THE UNHAPP

| EMPLOYMENT FOR THE UNHAPPY.
I The unhappy are indisposed to employ
ment, all occupations are wesrisone ana
disgusting in prospect at q time when every
thing, even life itself, is full of wearness aid
ed, or they will 60 mad. Comparatively
lies, where claims and duties abound, and
cannot be escaped. 10 the pressure OF bus'-
ness there is present safety and ultimate relIet.
Harder is the lot Of those who have lew neces.
sary occupations, enforced BY other claims
than their own harmlessness and proftgb bic
ness. Reading often fails; now and then II
may beguie; but much ofteoer the attention
is languid, the thoughts wander, and assoc l.
tons with the subject Of griefsre awakened.
Ladies who tind reading will not do, will oo
tain co relief in sewing; sewing is pleasant
enough, IN moderation, to those whose minds
are a; ease; but it is an eDploymen, which
is trying to the nerves when long continued
at best, and nothing can be worse for the
harrassed, aud for those who wish to escape
from themselves. Writing is bad, the pen
bangs idly suspended over the paper, or sad
thoughts write themselves down.
The safest and best OF all occupations for
such sufferers, is intercourse with young
children. An infant might have beguIied
Satan and his peers the day after they wire
couched on the lake OF fire, If the love cf chil.
dren chanced to linger amid the ruins cftbeir
angelic nature. Gardeningis excellent, be
cause it unites bodily exertion with suti
cient engagement OF the faculties, while sweet
comp passionate nature is mnisteriDg cure IN
every sprouting leaf and scented blossom.
aud beckonng sleep to draw nigh, and be
ready TO follow up ber benignant woIk.--
Walking is good; not stepping from shop to
shop, or from neighbor to neighbor. but
stretching out far into the country, to the
fartbest fields the highest bills, and the quis
test lanes. However sullen the Imagination
may have been among It's griefs at home, here
it cheers up aud smiles. However listless
the limbs may have been when sustaining a
too heavy heart, here they are braced, and
toe tagging gait becomes buoyant again
However perverse the memory may have been
in presenting all that WAS sgonizing, aud
insisting enly on what cannot be retrieved,
here it is first disregarded, and then it sleeps.
and the sleep Of the memory Is the day IN
Paradise to the unhappy. The mere breath
ing OF the cool wind on the face in the woods
is rest aud comfort, which must be felt at
such times to be believed. The fields are
better still; for there is the lark to fill ny the
bOurs with mirthful music, and to show that
the hardest day has It's lille and nilarity.--
