Occupation! what glorious thing it is
for the human heart. Those who work
hard seldom yield themselves entirely up
to fancied or real sorrow. When grief sits
down, folds its hands, and mournfully y
feeds upon its own tears, weaving the dim
shadows that a little exertiOn might sweep
away into a funeral pail, the strong spirit
is shorn of its might, and sorrow becomes
our master. When troubles flow upon you
dark and heavy, toll not with the waves
-wrestle not with the torrent-rather
seek by occupation to divert the dark
waters that threaten to overwheln you
in a thousand channels which the duties
of life always present. Before you dream
of it, those waters will fertilize the present,
and give birth to fresh flowers that they
may brighten the future-howers that win
become pure and holy, in the sunshine
which penetrates to the path of duty
Grief, after all, is but selfish feeling
and most selfish is he who yields himself
to the indulgence of any passion that
brings no joy to his fellow men.

IMPULSE.


We are governed by i,npulse-that is,
by feeling. We look upon distress and
our sympathies are awakened; we are very
much inclined to act upon the spur of the
moment. An orator excites us-we are
carried away by his argument, and graft
fy his designs. Again, passion excites US
we get angry and act under the impulse.
All these lead US astray. Perhaps we
should say good impulse leads US into
good-but this is not always the case-in-
deed not generally. Reason should gov
ern in all cases-for reason is right; if not
what is right? 1t is reasonable to act
from good motive; but a good impulse
will sometimes carry US too far-tO give
beyond our means, or to the injury of the
applicant. In love, we carry matters al
together. TO extremes. There is a univer-
sal groaning and suffering in consequence.
It is because love is the strongest passion
and sways US most. I was just now induc-
ed by the pleading face of mendieant to
bestow a favor. The groggery received
the favor, and the man is there now, or on
the street rather, exhibiting himself. I
was gratifed by giving; he by drinking.
We see the result. It's the pIeasingness OF
these impulses that seduces US; we yield
at once as to sacred feeling. But this is
only apparent, for sin is often the sweet
est morseI on the tongue. We give, we
act, because we crafty ourselves in such
cases. All, how little reason is strictly adj
hered to! How little it is made the test in
every case of a mans lifei The greatest
happiness would result did we apply rea-
son in all eases But we are so little on
our guard; we are living so at hap-hazard
