THE Two KINDS OF Friendship
There are two kinds of friendship; one is
the affection of the greater for the less,
the other that Of the less for the greater.
The greater and the less may be differ
ences Of rank, or intellect, or character, or
power. These are the two opposites Of
feeling which respectively characterize
the masculine and feminine natures, the
ymbols of which are the oak and the ivy
with its clinging tendrils. But though
they are the masculine and feminine types
they are not confined to male and female.
Most of US have gone through both these
phrases Of friendship. Whoever remem-
bers an attachment at school to a boy
feebler ehan himself, will recollect the
exulting pride of guardianship with which
he shielded his friend from the oppression
of some young tyrant of the playground.
And whoever, at least in boyhood or
youth, loved a man, to whose mental or
moral qualities he looked up with young
reverence, will recollect the devotion and
the jealousies, and the almost passionate
tenderness, and the costly gifts, and the
desire of personal sacrifice, which charac-
terize boyish friendship and which GER
tainly belong to the feminine and not &c
the masculine type Of affection. Doubt


less the language Of In Memoriam is ten


der in the extreme-such as sister might
use to a brother deeply beloved. But il
is to be remembered that it expresses
the affection of the spirit which rejoice;
to confess itself the feebler; and besides
that the man has passed into spirit, and
that time and distance have thrown q
hallowing haze Of Tenderness over the lin
eaments of the past.-F. W. Robertson.

AN English vessel, the yacht Deer
hound, was recently captured by a Span
ish frigate, for the offence of carrying
arms to the Carlists. This is the vessel
which watched the battle between the
Kearsarge and the Alabama, and when
the latter sank, offered a refuge to the
commander Of the priv0teer and carried
him off. 1t is reported that the crew is
to be treated as pirates. An end is now
put to the career Of this vessel as a med
dler in international affairs on the side of
despotism and slavery.

DEAR JOURNAL: near so many
signing for rest, even in this beauti-
full May, that the thought is sugges-
tive to me.


How to do the most work" has
been the problem of the age, and the
results are startling. Almost every
weekly paper records the death of
some great worker whose name is
spoken tenderly, reverently, because
of the work he has done.


One is arrested suddenly by the
swapping of the "silver cord;" anoth-
er. with enfeebled brain-force, sinks
through every grade of imbecility
till death is made welcome. In how
many homes, whose inmates once
thought most of the work to be done,
there is a reaction now; they only
sigh for rest-rest for the aching
head and bewildered brain-rest for
the weary feet. A revival of lost
energies is eagerly sought in sunny
foreign lands and in the bland air of
our own Florida. 1t will be sought
by thronging thousands the coming
season, among the cool sweet noun
tain shadows and down by the great
sea, where the waves wash the silver
beach. Under such influences many
an invalid will be refreshed and
strengthened.


But the problem we need most to
solve is how to do life's great work
and vet rest as we 90; how to make
each day turn to the most account
and yet feel that delicious sense of
repose that so fits one for the higher
enjoyments of mind and spirit.
To attain this must not life be
symmetrical If all the energies
are bent to bread-getting our sphere
is narrowed, the mind is dwarfed,
the affections are cramped, the wings
of imagination clipped and the high
er nature is left trailing in the dust
when il should be soaring GOdward,
exultant in Accommodating in the
light.


| think our work should be more
understanding to soothe when
we are irritated, to inspire when we
are sluggish. We should have some
thing daily to lift us into a purer,
serener atmosphere-above petty
cares that often fret and corrode.
Every gift of the mind and spirit
wants improvement and apprecia-
ton. They each cry out with pain
if life is cold and unlovely. Our
work then should be three-fold; the
brain wants work as well as the
hands, the affections want work.


There should be time for reading
and for gracious neighborly ways.
Mans life needs the kindling, elec-
trical influence of discussion-even
of the brisk skirmish in politics.
The sparkt, he light flashing back
and forth when mind meets mind all
aglow with the conviction of some
great truth, quickens and ennobles
manhood.


Woman, in her gentler life, needs
the vivifying influence of beauty--of
taste; the plainest suffer if life is
bleak and unadorned. All want time
to get view now and then of the
great world outside. How it sweetens
toll, gives freshness and vigor to
thought and inspires to nobler plans
and purposes!


But the young man says, | must
earn competence and then see the
world at my leisure Woman

"Rest is not quitting


The busy career


Rest is the fitting


OF self to ones sphere;


'Tis loving and serving


The highest and best,


'Tis onward, unswervingl


And this is true rest"


Scattered through the country
where you will go, dear JOURNAL,
are many young men and maidens-
the dew of the morning in their
hearts-who want to grow into the
perfection of manhood and woma1l-
hood. They mean that their lives
shall be glorious as the sun, giving
light, and warmth, and help to all
about them.


But the country is new, and by the
sweat of the brow must the means OF
life be brought up from the damp,
productive soil-hewn from the
rough trees. If one would acquire
means for future usefulness the work
must be done.


Just here is the danger. Little
by little the attention may be alb
sorbed, the books that would cheer
and elevate be laid aside and the
delicate chains of sympathy in social
life neglected.


How often the young heart, girding
on the armor of self denial, says: 81
must gain a fortune and position
now, and in all after time | shall find
delight in books, in study of nature
and in warm, genial intercourse with
others" There is a pitiful mistake
in such a plan. When the cry OF
the soul for better and higher living
has been long suppressed it does not
waken readily at the voice Of a bird
or the beauty Of the morning. Books
lose their interest and friendship its

in the souls gallery, while even the
play of the lights and shadows there
grows DINNER and fainter.


Oh, how much of the higher life
we miss for want of the plain good
sense that would reduce money to
its proper value and would make
dress subservient only to the uses
and needs of intelligent, sweetened
and elevated human nature!


/ remember a home into which
very little money was ever brought
where each one toiled for the daily
bread; but that toll was ennobled by
affection, it was guided by intelli-
gence. There was ever some fresh
delight that accompanied the daily
task; the book full of fresh wonders,
like Hartwig's Life in the Frigid
Zones and the Tropics; the hasty
nOOaIICdI SACuI oIOI InGO GIle udIHp,
ferny wood or a sail on the pond
where the delicate water-lilies were
all afoat.


There was no elegance in that
home only the grace and charm that
refinement gives; no adornment but
the simplicity of nature; flowers
blooming and vines trailing in the
windows; sea-shells half hidden in
moses and pictures framed of crag-
ged twigs vanished and set together
curiously by their own hands. But
life developed harmoniously. 1t was
grand and free. Every one who
went through that low, vine-covered
porch felt the freedom. Life was
sweeter and dearer when he went
forth again-not so much for the
warmth of the welcome as for the
nearness of communion.


One Of the neighbors who had been
so diligent in early years that his
family rode in fine carriages, hung
their walls with costly pictures and
went to the Springs summers, with
several large Saratoga trunks, won
dered that people so intelligent and
genial should be so unambitious.


But the wealthy man, who had
worked at first only very late on
weekdays and afterward on Sundays
lin his office), was interrupted in
his work and obliged to rest when
he should have been in the prime of
his days. His mind broke its fetters
and took leave Of the body, where it
had been so cramped and defrauded,
and for five years his wife and daugh-
ter, confined to the sick room scarce
ly entered their beautiful parlors.


How bleak and barren is such
life! 1t stands out like the pillar of
Lots wife on the salt plains! How
full of joy, and hope, and courage
was the other beside it!


The father is vigorous still. His
gray hair is a crown of beauty. His
children are all in places Of trust and
honor. They achieve much because
they know how to vary their work
and adopt it to the moods and needs
of the hour. Their strength and
vigor prove that
