Useful Diversions.

There is an affection Tn every en- ployment. and it gives the spirit ener- gy and keeps the mind intent upon It's work or study. This. if it be not re- faxed, becomes dull, and its earnest ness fags-as salt that has lost its savor. so that it has no pungency or relish: or as pended bow, which. un- less it be unbent. loses the power that it derives from it's elasticity Just so the mind. kept from day to day in the same ideas. without variety. So the eyes. when they look only at one ob- ject or continually upon one color. For, to look continually at a thing which is black. or continually at red or at white. destroys the sight. Thus if one looks continually at the snow the sight Is destroyed. but it is en- livened if he looks in succession or at the same time upon many colors. Every form delights by its varieties as garland of roses of different colors arranged in beautiful order. Hence it is that the rainbow is more charming than the light itself.-Emanuel Swe- denborg.
