LOVES EXERCISES. There is no feel
ing more cold, or Of shorter duration,
than admiration. We grow insensibly
Indifferent to the same set Of features,
though ever so beautiful, and if there
be not little quickening spirit to give
them life and action, their very unifor-
nifty will soon destroy what they first
excited. A little change of temper is
absolutely necessary to give to a fine
woman that happy variety which pre-
vents our growing weary Of finding her
always the same. In truth, 1t is un-
lucky enough for a woman to have too
even o disposition; the equality Of her
temper permits Indifference to arise
perhaps disgust. 1t is always the
same statute; and man continues his
own master-perfectly at ease before
her; and that liberty is sometimes so
great pleasure. Place in her stead
a woman, lively, uncertain, froward,
but these only to certain degree.
The scene is changed; the lover meets
in the same person with all the charms
of variety-caprice is the salt of gall
lantry that's reserves it from corrupt
ing. Inquietudes, jealousies, quarrels,
piques, and reconciliation are, if not
the diet, at least the exercise of love.
Enchanting variety! that Ellis and ,oecu-
pies the sensible heart more chermingly
than all the regularity of department
and tedious sameness of What are
deemed the better characters.
THAT PA1N.-That pain ! No mat
ter where the seat Of suffering may be,
if it were located in some other part Of
the body, we fancy we could endure it
better. The wart on our friends nose
how he wishes it we're on his wrist.
The boil on his cheek, if it were in q
less distinguished place, how much less
anxiety it would cost him aboutthe
scar it will leave. That rheumatic
twlnge in his right arm-if it had only
been the opposite member, how very
much easier he could write his weekly
statistics. The govt in the toe-how
the twinge disables him from active
exercise. And then how often we wish
ourselves somebody else, but our
sefves. 1--WE had that mans purse,
how benevolent We would be {! If We
could discharge our liabilities, how
much more amiable We should become !!
But for that anxiety, how happy our
life would glide along! But, friends,
the very thing you would remove may
be the very disciT line you need; so iron
out your wrinkles, try and think kind
ly, and act kindly, and SO make every
body love you if you are an invalid,
or debtor, or any sort Of a sufferer,
let it be said, " God bless him he is
a good fellow, only a little unfortu-
nate.'
TRUE AS PREAcHINa.-As the violet
grows low, and covers itself with its
own tears, and. Of all flowers yields the
most fragrance, SO also do we find
often in our midst the greatest good
done to the poor and needy, by those
in humble circumstances, Of which the
babbling world never hear. But such
is life, and still we live! Live on, day
after day, occasionally one dropping
out from the ranks calmly and resigned
or hurried unexpectedly by fright
full railway accident. Poor mortal,
