Home and Old Friends.

There are times when am least of all
inclined to loosen the links which bind
me to my Oldest and dearest friends; tor
imagine we shall all want the union of
all the good men we can get together :;
and the want of sympathy which | cannot
but feel towards many of those whom
meet with makes me think how delight
full it would be to have daily intercourse
with those with whom ever feel it thor
oughly. What people do in middle life,
without wife and children to turn to,
cannot imagine tor think the affections
must be sadly checked and chilled, even
in the best men, by their intercourse with
people such as one usually finds them in
the world. do not mean that one does
not meet with good and sensible people
but then their minds are set. and they will
not in mature age grow into each other
but with home filled with those whom we
entirely love and svmpathize with, and
with some old friends to whom one can
open ones heart fully from time to time,
the worlds society has rather a bracing
influence to make one shake off more
dreams of delight DR.. arnold.
