ing is really useful which is not agreea-
bic; and, on the other hand, nothing is
truly agreeable which is not in some
way useful; hence ID is entirely useless
TO deny the utility Of that which is &C.
knowledged to be agreeable And now,
since programme Of modern Dona-
ton Party, must already be in the
minds Of every one present, we will
suppose that old fashioned huskings
were equally important in their time,
and close our lecture with a familiar
description of one.
Among the early settlers Of New
England, the corn husking was one Of
the most important items of farm
labor; and their motto was, 'many
hands make light work." hence it was
the custom for all the young men and
blooming girls in a neighborhood to
come together in companies, and, under
the roof-tree, on the broad barn floors,
to relieve the corn of the rafting husks
And now, in imagination, let US sur
vey group of these young and merry
hearts.
Does any one suppose they were there
gathered together with faces long
aud cheerless?-with sad hearts and
downcast eyes?-with consciences dis
tressed as by bar of lead? Does any
one suppose that. in those days Of puri-
tan sternness, even, these exercises be-
gan with prayerg-that they introduced
texts Of scripture, and pronounced
homilies and exhortations to goodness?
In short, does any one suppose that
these children of the stern and rigr rous
puritans bad human nature literally
expunged from them?
Nay, my friends. yong hearts

life and love in the bosoms of those
young men and maidens; girls adnlred

Dcmocritus shut himself up for days
together in II little apartment in his
garden. Dante was subject to fits of
abstraction, i'll which he often quite for
got himself. One day he found an in
torcsting book, which he long had sought
for, III II druggists shop mt Sienna, and
WAS reading there till night came on.
Budc, whom Erasmus called the won

his study with the intelligence that his

Scaliger only slept for n few hours,

while at his studies. Pope, too, was u
little dandy in a bag wig and sword !;
and his crooked figure enveloped in
fashionable garments gave him the look
of an overdresscd monkey. Voltaire,
also, was fond Of magnificent attire,
and usually dressed III an absurd
manner.
Didcrot once travelled from st. Peters
burg to Paris in his morning-gown and
night-cap, and in this guise promenaded
the streets and public places Of the
towns ON his route. He was often taken
for n mailman. While composing his
works he used to walk about with rapid
strides, and sometimes throwing his
wig in the mir when he had struck a
happy idea, Ono day Il friend found
him in tears, "Good heavens !" he
exclaimed" what is the matter ?" 81
am weeping" said Didcrot, sat II story
have just composod!'
Young, the poet, composed his
"Night Thoughts" with II skull before
him, in which he would sometimes
place It lighted candle and he occa-
sionally sought his sepulchral inspira-
ton by wandering among the tombs at
midnight. Mrs. Radcliffe courtcd the
horrors with which she filled her gloomy
romanccs by supping on half-raw beef
steaks, pIcntifuIly gornished with
onions. Dryden used to take physic
before setting himself to compose Il
new piece. Kant, the German philoso-
pher, while lccturing, had the habit of
fixing his attention upon one of his
auditors who wore Il garment without Il
button in u particular place. One day
the student had the button gcwcd on.
Kant, on commencing the lecture, fixed
his eye ON the usual place. The button
was not there! Fancy the CONSERVATION
Of the philosopher, whose IDEAS had be-
come associated with that buttonlcss
garment. His lecture that day was de-
tcstable he was quite mhinged by the
circumstance.
Too many authors have been fond of
the bottle. Rabclais said, eating aud
drinking are my true sources Of inspira-
ton. See this bottle! II it my true
and only IIcIicon, my cabaIistic foun-
tain, my sole enthusiasm. Drinking, |
deliberate and d~clibcrating, 1 drink"
Ennius, HschyIus and Cato all got
their inspiration while drinking. Mcze-
raj always had a large bottle OF wine
beside him among his books he drank
Of it at each page he wrote. lie turned
the night into day, and never composed
except by lamp light, even in the day
time. All his windows were darkcncd
and il was no unusual thing for him to
show II friend to the door with II lamp,
though outside it was broad daylight.
On the contrary, NariIla5, the historian,
never wrote except at full midday. His
ideas, he imagined, grew and declined
with the suns light.

Fellowship With God.

In ali mems deepest feelings they do
acknowledged is an instinct i]rreprcSBi-
blc-thnt the II thing necdfuI for
them is Il loving intercourse with God.
All other things we need only qualified
ly, cas- wealth, or friends, or learning,
or the arts of life, bat this one thing do
we need absolutely. II were by itself
an essential bliss; yea, even in the loss
of worldly good. That an assured fell
Iowship with God must exercise and
satisfy the exact self-hood Of Il man, is
II very intuition Of all men. Whereas
nil worldly good, without God, does
but leave us restless and aching still.
All the things thou canst desire, the
passions gratitied the appetite RECALLED,
the incbriation Of power, the ministry
OF art, the wonders of science, the glow
of thought, sentiment and sensibility,
enterprise, friendship, the family, the
State-all these things, without God,
are only II "triumph Of the pulse, n
dance of the spirits, II froth of Joy, lcav-
ing the soul more vapid than before"
Scrious-mindcd men know it to be so.
Nor is it any mere thanking of God that
will satisfy MS; neither the searching out
and admiring of his wonderful works,
but only the personal meeting with God.
a man will give his lifetime to the study
of n butterfly, or n rock, or II star, and
fondly claim that he is conversing with
God; but vainly thus will he whisper
peace, peace to his soul, when there il
no peace. That butterfly was but II
beaming forth from God-not God him
self. A light from yondcr mansion is
shining into the outer darkness, and u
poor, honscless stranger on the street
thinks it beautiful, looks at it wistfully,
and all the more wraps his tatters about
him in the shivering blast of II winters
evening. But, see! another WANDERERS in
the street. The lOng-lost sonOf thchOuse
has returned, his stop is ut the door, he
enters, the shout OF welcome grcets
him, loving arms are all around him,
and II fathers heart is beating next his
own. What II difference between tho
two because of that one element of iilial
fellowship! Even so the religious con
sciousncss, if shut oil from Il personal
embrace with God, is II vagabond in
rags and darkness, although in the
midst of the marvellous works of God;
aud the sense of responsibility to God
goes shivcring along his life. Besides,
if now we stand nloof from God, he
will hereafter say to us, depart, We
curscd!' while if he and we do como
together now, he will say to us: Come,
w blessed" Oh! surely II present fell
lowship with God is the very chiefest of
our blessings; and how should we bound
forward to it, seeing that we can have it
by simply drawing nigh to him by faith
in Jesus Christ.
