Gentle Influences


Would st thou guardian angel seem
To one who long in guilt hath trod-A
Go kindly to him-take his hand
With gentlest words within thine own,
And by his side brother stand, A
Till all the demons thou dethrone.
God has beautifully ordered
that the course of Nature and the
law of sympathy in our hearts,
should alike teach us the impOr-
tant truth that kindness, gentle
influences, will produce happy re-
suits where harshness and force
would only work injury. Thus,
when spring comes with its soft
airs and inspiring charms, therigor
of stern winter is relaxed and
music, life and light everywhere
abound; the streamlets released
from their icy letters ripple mer-
rily and rejoice with the carolling
birds at the return of this joyous.
season. When the SUMS enliven-
ing rays warm the dark cold earth
the seeds terminate, and the ten
der grass, the leaves and fragrant
flowers spring responsive to the
vivifying influence; everything in
Nature assumes new beauty, and
on the smiling plains and in the
varied attractions of woods and
fields and gardens, we see the
transformation wrought by the
bright sunshine, which thrills and
gladdens our hearts, when the
fierce blasts and angry clouds of
winter only sadden us. AS it is in
Nature so it is in our own hearts,
the soothing, cheering influence Of
kind words often assuage the vic
lence of passion, where a harsh
retort would have provoked re
taliation; sunny smile will dis
pei angry frown, and chase away
the shadows caused by care, where
rndeness would have inflicted
pain. Sympathy is the tie thai
unites noble nature, and genera
impulses it's manifestations which
carry comfort to the grief-burden
ed mind; gentleness is the balm
that heals distempered souls blu
violence, angry words and scowl
quicken the evil spirits in on
hearts and make existence miser
able. Loveis a ministering ange
that leaves happiness wherever
goes. The anger and scorn W
give to others return to plagu
our own hearts, but the gentl
reply, the conciliating expression
and mildness, IN which there i
: nothing unmanly, distill a swee
. peace and satisfaction that linge

SECTIoNALIsM IN TRADE.-The
Richmond Wing gives the follow
ing discourse for the benefit of
mankind. There is so much truth
in It that we cannot forbear call
ing the attention of our readers
toit: - Ha ".i
s.yVe observe that ssme of the
newspapers are talking about
sectionalism in trade. However
excited men may threaten in times
Of agitation, such things as poll
ties or sectionalism in trade can
not long continue. Dealers will
purchase OF those who sell the
best bargains. Trade is a soul
less, unsentimental sort of thing.
that locks only to gain. 1t is no
respecter Of men, cities, sections,
or nations. If a saint were to set
up next to Satan, and Satan sold
better bargains, he would get the
trade, and the saint would have
to shut up shop. The Southern
merchant, who from sectional or
sentimental considerations pays
more for his goods than his fellow
merchants pay, who are not con
trolled by such considerations
win either have to charge his Gus
toners higher prices than they
or will have to lose. 5. iees3rs
tfNow, Southern customers ar,
like customers all the world over
They want good articles and the,
want bargains. They may have
kind of sentimental admiration
for the merchant who allows hi
politics to govern his dealings, bu
when they find that his prices ar
higher than those of his neigh
bors, who are controlled by Ii
such influence, they patronize tn
latter. Nine hundred and ninety
nine men out every thousand wi
act in this manner. If merchant
can buy cheaper in Boston, Ne
York or Philadelphia than in Ba
timore, they will deal there. The
may like Baltimore and the Ba
timore people better, but bargain
are what they are after, and n,
