The Affections of the Heart.

We cheerfulIy give place in our columns
to the following article, handed US by a
young lady who has had il slowed away in
scrap book for number of years:
Miserable, indeed, is that human being,
10 whom the cultivation of the affections is
not source of happiness, to whom love
and friendship do not yield more joy than
riches, honors, aud distinctions. Pride
may feel a momentary Qualification IN the
idle pageant Vanity may eXult at iugi.
tive and hollow praise. Wealth may pur-
chase the false tongue Ol the Parasite
Power may entice the mercenary homage OF
the ignoble. LuAu may crafty, Tor the
moment. the senses Of the sensuallst But
no true happiness was ever enjoyed by any
human being but that which i driven from
the cultivation ofthe affections OF ting heart,
which remain with us, at all times ana ali
seasons, to cheer us on our way ol Ilie, as
suage our SORROWS, share our Joys, and by
sympathy. diminish our woes. and magnify
our pleasures.
What is wealth, without some dear heart
TO share it with us? What * Honor aud
Fame, without friend To bask IN the same
beam that warns us2 What IS Power. Il
enjoyed solitary and alone! The Mlser
.nioys not bis wealth, because be has no
friend. The tyrant, in his uspicion' ofall,
finds power 10 be a curse. Il is the heart
only through which We can obtain felicity.
Max, the heart callous, and the world
lrowns ON our destiny with the bIacEness
of Fate.
Hence the misery Of the Incorporate: for
what so completely deadens us to all the
finer emotions of the heart than hatits OF
drinking even where the unhappy victim
stops at point short OF intOxicatlon. 1t -
sound maxim, in general, that those who
drink acohnl in any shape, soon cease TO
feel any Of those eleyating emotions con.
nectcd with love, friendship, or Affection
The drinking man has callous heat. HIS
first and ruling passion Is unqualified
selfshness. He INDUCES in a vice, that en-
ters all IFS fires in his own bosom. For the
time. he deems himself happy; and gratifies
his foul appetite at the sacrifice OF the hap
piness of every one else Callous is the
heart-icy cold the ssifshn>ss Of the Inebri
ate. He lives in himself. lie has no
friends, no affections, no virtues, no love,
no sympathy for Others.
How ecstatic and replete with bliss
must be the emotions of the reformed Inc

To shape the document so as to avoid
embarrassment from this source, so that
certain classes will be pardoned with
their rights restored, it is not said that
other classes on other terms, will never
be included. In saving that a reconstruc-
ton will be accepted, if presented in

EMANCIPATION IN STA TEs NOT INCLUDED
IN THE PRoCLA NATION.
The mOveme nts for Emancipation in
several of the States not included in the
Emancipation Proclamation, are matter
of profound congratulation, and whilo I
do not repeat in detail what T have here
tofore so earnestly said on this subject,
my general views aud feeling are unchan
ged, and l trust that Congress viii omit
no fair opportunity of aiding these i'm.
portant steps 10 the great consummation-
THE WAR POWER.
In the midst of other causes, however
I important, we must not lose sight Of the
fact that the War Power is still our main
reliance. To that power alone can We
look for time to give confidence to the
people in the contested region, so that
the insurgent power will not again over.
run them.
Unit! that confidence shall be estab.
Iished, little can be done anywhere from
what is called reconstruction. Hence,
our strong feature must be directed to
the army aud navy, who have thus far
done its hardest part SO nobly and well.
It may be esteemed fortunate that in
giving the greatest praise to those indis-
pensable arms, we do, however, encour-
age these gallant men, from commander
to sentinel, who compose them, and to
whom, more than all others, the world
must stand indebted for the home Of
freedom-not disintegrated but enlarged
and perpetuated.
