SYspArHY.-"Wha hat a subject for local
item," says some one, and yet, dear reader,
il is one which is fraught with thoughts the
most sublime and of the most momentous and
lasting utility. There is holy power and
influence in that haaven-bora word--sympa-
thy 1t can still the raging conflicts of the
soul, and awe into submission the wild bill
lows Of hate and scorn. On the ear and the
heart of the weak, erring and sinful the ten
der notes Of a sympathizing heart fall in
sweet cadency, and tend to nerve their reso-
lntions to tread again the forsaken paths of
virtue and the way of truth. What pleas
AIT sight it is to see some fair and gentle one,
or perhaps the strong man, breathing words
OF consolation and hope into the ear of the
saddened of earth, seeking to implant within
the stricken heart the germ of faith and trust
and holy resignation, so that it may bud and
bloom and ill the soul with its fruit of joy,
and peace and love.
The weary pilgrim through life ottentimes
sighs for kindred hearts to sympathize with
his cares and SORROWS and joys. When hopes
of youths bright dreaming are crushed, and
disappointments sable pail seems to lower
over the pathway, how sweet the voice of
sympathy sounds, 1t falls like gentle music
on the listening ear, and leads the soul to
streams of renewed hope and energy. Ere
youths brilliant visions are faded, or its hal
cron hours are fed away, the neart then
pants and longs for sympathy, nor is it sat-
isied till its desires are granted In the early
n orn of life, 1--WE pine for kindred natures to
mingle with our own"-hearts to enter into
tile feelings of our own, and share our fond
alticipations. 1t is law ofour very nature
that we should desire the pleasures of sym.
pAthy. In every relation and time of life,
we need and coyet its holy influence and
power. The rich, the poor, the gay, the
grave, the sorrowtu!. the joyful, all,
need il. How important then that we should
ever seek TO breathe sweet words Of ~ npa-
thy, and strive to cheer each saddened bro
theirs heart with acts of tenderest and en-
couraging love. Then bright will be earth's
pathway to our own feet, and we shall have
the proud consciousness when we come to
Eshuffle off this mortal COLL" that we have
lived for others veal, and helped on in joy
some tainting, despairing one who was tray
cling with us the highway Of this life to the
tracAless ocean of eternity.
