The AFFECTIONS. There is famous
passage in the writings of Rousseau,
the great delineator of the human heart,
which is as true to human nature as it
is beautiful IN expression: "Were l in
desert l would find out wherewith in
it to call forth my affections. If L
could do no better L would fasteE them
on some sweet myrtle, or some melan-
choly cyprus, to connect myself to. l
would court them for their shade and
greet them kindly for their protection.
| would write my name upon them,
and declare that they were the sweet
est trees throughout all the desert. If
their leaves withered ] would teach
myself to mourn, and when they re-
joiced / would rejoice along with
them" Such is the absolute necessity
which exists in the human heart of hav-
ing something to love. Unless the af-
fections have an object, life itself be-
comes joyless and insipid. The affec-
tons have this peculiarly, that they
are not so much the means of happi-
ness, as their exercise is happiness it.
self. And not only so, if they have no
object, the happiness derived from our
other powers is cut off.

DARBY AND JOAN.
AN OLD BALLAD.

When Darby saw the setting sun,
He swung his scythe and home he run.
Sat down, drank OF his quart, and said,
my work is done. IN go to bed"
"'My work is doner" retorted Joan,
"'My work is doner your constant tone;
"But helpless woman ne'er can say
Her work is done, till Judgment Day.
You men can sleep all night, but we
Must toll" Whose fault is thatS" quoth l
81 know your meaning" Joan replied.
But, sir, my tongue shall not be tied,
will go on, and let you know
What work poor women have to do:
First. in the morning, though we feel
As sick as drunkards when they reel
Yes, feel such pains in back or head
AS would conine you men to bod
Weply the brush, We WELD the broom,
We air the beds and right the room;
The COWS must next be milk'i-snd then
We get the breakfast for the men.
Ere this is done, with whimpering cries
And bristly hair the children rise;
These mnst be dress'd ana dos'd with rue,
And fed--and ali because of you.
We nextr-here Darby scratched his head
And stole or grumbling to his bed;
And only said, as on the run,
"Zounds! woman's clack is never dOne'
At early dawn, ere Phebus rose,
Old Joan resumed her tale of woes;
When Darby thus-'I'll END the strife,
Be you the man and the wife;
Take you the scythe and NOW, while
VIII all your boasted cares supply"
Content" quoth Joan. give me my stint"
This Darby did, and out she went.
Old Darby rose and seized the broom,
And whirl'd the dirt about the room;
Which having done, he scarce knew how,
He had to milk the brindled cow
The brindled COW whsk' d round her tail
In Darby's eyes, and kicked the pail;
The clown, perplex'd witbgfie and pain,
swore he'd ne'er try to milk again:
When turning round, in sad amaze,
He saw his cottage in a blaze
For as he chanc'd to brush the room
In careless haste, he fired the broom.
The fire atlast subdu'd, he swore
The broom and he should meet no more.
Prsss'dby misfortune and perplex'd,
Darby prepared for breakfast next;
But what to get he scarcely knew
The bread asspent, the butter too.
His hands bedaubd with paste and -four,
Old Darby labor'd full an hour:
BUT luckless, wight! thou couldst not make
The bread take form of loaf or cake.
Aslevery door wide open stood,
In pushed the sow in quest Of food;
And stumbling onwards, with her snout
Oerset the churn-the cream ran out,
AS Darby turn'd, the sow TO beat,
The slipp'ry cyeam betrsy'dh his feet;
Hefaught the bread trough in his fall,
Anddown came Darby, trough and all.
The children waken'd by the clatter,
Start up and cry, "OhI what's the matterp'
Old Jowler barked, and Tsbby mew'd,
And dhapless Darby bawld Rloud,
Return, my Joan, as heretofore,
I'll play the housewives part no more;
Since now, by sad experience taught,
Compar'd to thine, my work is naught.
Henceforth. as business calls, I'll take,
Content the plough, the scythe, the rake,
And never more transgress the line
Our facts have mark'd while thou art mine.
Then, Joan, return as heretofore,
III yex your honest soul no more:
Let each our proper task attend
Forgive the past, and strive tomend"

The Sabbath.

A corruption of morals usually
follows the proclamation of the Sabbath.
i Blackstone.
The Sabbath, as political institu-
ton, is of inestimable value, indepen-
dent of its claim to divine authority
Adam Smith.
Il can truly declare, that to me, the
Sabbath has been invaluable.-IWil-
liam Wilberforce.
Il feel as if God had. by giving
the Sabbath, given ffty-two springs in
the year.-lS. T. Coleridge.
"A Sunday given to the soul is the
best of all means of refresbment n tbs
mere intellect Isaac TAYLOR.
There is noreligion without worship.
and no worship without the Sabbath
Count Montalembert.
The Sabbath must be observed as
day of rest. This do not state as
an opinion, but knowing that it has its
foundation upon law in mans nature
as fixed as that he must take food or
die Willard Parker, NJ. D.
If Sunday had not been observed
as day of rest during the last three
centuries, l have not the slightest
doubt that we should have been at this
moment poorer and less civilized peo-
pie than we are Lord Macauley.
The very life of religion doth
much depend upon the solemn observ-
ance of the Sabbath; consider, if we
should intermit the keeping of it for the
year, what a hight of profaneness would
ensue in those that fear not God.-
| Archbishop Leighton.
AS day of rest, view the Sab
bath as day of compensation for the
inadequate restorative power of the
body under continued labor and ex-
citement. One day in seven by the
bounty of Providence, is thrown in as
a day of compensation to perfect by
its repose the animal system John

The Heavy Stake-A True Story

He was a man rather over medium
size, with black hair and whiskers, and
handsome face, with clear gray
eyes, who came into a gambling room
in Sacramento one night, badly under
the influence of liquor. He sauntered
idly from one crowd to another gath
cred around the various gambling ta-
bles.
When we met he said: "John, you
have been an old friend: / have been
here ten years now; going home to set
tie down. l love Fanny, you know,
and she loves me. Look here" he con-
tinued, taking a wallet from his bosom,
"here's ten thousand dollars in gold. Z"
looked at his treasure. Il was
pure gold dust, gathered from the pro-
life plains of California.
"Put that away" said /. "Take it
away from this place. Let me go
with you to your clearinghouse at
once"
Taking his arm endeavored to lead
him away. But he resisted as a man
who had resolved on his own course.
With silly, drunken air, be said:-
"What's ten thousand dollars, for ten
years work? When l left the States
to come here, poor as mouse, Fanny
Marion promised to be mine, and she
shan't repenti it. Such complexion and
such eyes are worthy better fortune
than ten thousand dollars. It's like
her throwing away her time waiting for
me, if don't go home with any more
money than that Shall the dear little
angel be disappointed? Never! I'll
make it twenty thousand tonight"
He started, with unsteady step, to,
ward faro table. Vainly strove to
turn him from his purpose. He, how
ever, stopped again, and said:
"Tell you, John, what to do. If
lose, III be busted-won't have a cent
in the world. May be that would
keep me here another ten years. She
woald not wait so long. 1 couldn't
stand that, for she has been my only
hope for these ten years. So for me
it's twenty thousand or death. and 1
never played a game in my life. If l
fail, write to Fanny and tell her all
about it. Here, John, Dick, Tom and
Wilson, what'll you have?"
A crowd gathered around to assist
him to imbibe at the bar. l refused
to drink. / had never seen him tipsy
before, and now he was both drunk and
wild.
"Come on, fellers," be shouted, way
ing his wallet over his head, "and see a
game that's worth seein'. Here goes
for ten thousand dollars on one beti''
A crowd began to gather around as
he pressed toward a table. Every
other table was forsaken. A hundred
persons surrounded this table, tip-toe-
ing with eager curiosity, to see the
progress of this heavier wager. Swing
ing his wallet around with drunken,
staggering flourish, q hiccough and a
wild eye, this man of less than thirty
years of age, with his life's hopes, and
life itself placed on one cast, selected
his number and placed his money upon
it. / saw this movement, and as he
withdrew his hand from the completed
action, I looked again in his face. His
eyes met mine from the table. He was
perfectly sober!

anxious expression Of the now terrified
