Tliore is perhaps no faculty of .the sonl more outraged and neglected than that innate feeling of humanity which prompts us to half divide the sorrows of the heart that lies a bleeding, smouldering^victim upon the rude altar which fete may have erected for sacrifice to the imperious gods of society, whose laws, like those of tho JMedes and Persians, know no satisfaction save in the full consummation of the letter. Pew there are who condemn an outburst of joy in communion with happy spirits, yet many there be. over ready to manifest contempt for that spirit which, toucficd with true humanity, needs but*the droppings of fretted eyes and the sighs of troubled hearts to throw the machinery of its feelings into operation.

Cleanse your own Skirts. It is really astonishing that liiqn give themselves so much concern in reference to their fellows! Surprising as it may be, it is nevertheless a common occurrence. There is too m'ucli of the disposition to ape the vulture by picking at every perceptible flaw, endeavoring to widen the breach already made in the wall of partition t'.iCit separates virtue from vice. In other words, evenone is too much occur ied iu the criticism of the actions of his brother, to the great neglect of his own mode of life. The over-exert on of some to rectify the conduct of their fellow-men by trumpeting their errors abroad through neighborhoods and communities often results in more detriment thau good to the philanthropic undertaking of raising humanity to its proper clement.' In this, as in everything else, there is policy, and he who, either from a love of gossip or a misconception of effect, spends his time iu giving currency to reports detcriuiental to the character of his fellow-men. merits the reproach of all men. Lot each one see to it that his own skirts arc cleansed, and soon a more genuine system of morality will prevail., and lost confidence will be restored in pinny wlio now exist living monuments of shame to the secret whispering of a gossiping pub-* lie. Keep the following in your mind's view:? " What are another's faults to me? I've not a vulture's bill To pick at every flaw I see. And make it wider still: It is cuough for me to know I've follies of my own? And on my heart the care bestow And let mv friends alone." Individuality of Tilcuglrt and Action. _ One of the safest criterions whereby to rate reliabili ty^i^ethcr in man or woman, is tlint of individuality of thought d.nd action. "Wherever this is found to exist it is no hawSsniattor to determine the position, of its possessor, either? upon questions of morality, religion, or politics., It repeals the independent-operations of a judgment untrammelUed by the chains of provisos forged at the funiuee.ofa w<iak-wmded and imstabiofaii^^ i-water element of character, the truoicalihre of which 1 alone be detennined by a careful analysis of its c" iglomerated particles. Its deductions of principle ( straight-fonvard and candid, not formed in accord- 1 ?c with the expression or intimation of other men's g inicms; if. upon annunciation, accord is found to ^ ist with_ the pro-expressed views of another, it is July accidental, having for its basis the substratum an individual conception of truth and orror. A dilution of this independence of thought need not re- tj It in the rejection of any idea of merit, even though may emanate from other parties, since it merely furdies the ability to determine between the respective wits of opposite views.' Independence of thought . ' d nctiou is the motive power of moral, social and po- j() ical life; it but breathes, as it were, an intimation of utiment warm from the mould of reason, and lo a st of adherents appear, as if created by the magic ^ itid of a fairy's witchery. 0r Experience has given ample proof that it is a most ,n roncous practice to allow others to do your thinking {]j Imr ntion moral rolLious or Dolikical matters, while M mr own intellect lies dormant and inactive, like tlie ;l\ gcd Anaconda, dependent n|>on the bounty of its m e]>er for sustenance. This practice opens up a chan- in 1 for error of every conceivable line to iiowin: it vi =places the sentries that keep watch on the outskirts ti> every discriminating mind and leaves the citadel to Y e free and unchallenged ingress and egress of every ;n mplexion of vice, so long as the cloven loot is con- lit aled beneath the cloak lilchcd from the wardrobe of si rtue. Thus are perpetuated some of the grossest cr- lii rs in religion and polities. The masses, who will not si ke time to examine the foundation upon which the ?'! spcctive tenets of ecclesiastical and political teachgs are based, arc easily duped by the Insinuating nr- l' )r?of the one and the seeming honesty of the other, " the advocacy and anylization of their ros|?cciive !| ccds. . 01' such material is the strength of the dema- ^ jguc comprised. Seizing upon some principle that has w erclv the seuiblance of virtue, he at once throws wind it a charm of authority, upon which the nuilti- j" ide gulph it down with an avidity akin to that with 1 liich a hungered wolf laps the blood of its helpless j ictim. * > or. a ,.,llir Jt VOU llOSire 10 miiiwi iii ui; uw in.., I <1 reuth in confidential consultation with every man you J ' lay approach as lo the probable results of a certain ! ^ mrse that you may have carved out for pursuit, but am to stake your destiny more upon the deliberations ( I" your-own judgement, knowing that lew men look ^ irough the same telescope.

Wellfond, Jr.," which we find in the Southern Literary Messenger, the following striking passage: "History records no mo/e suggestive incident than the memorable termination of the siege of Home by Cariolanus. No child ever pursued the narrative without extraordinary emotion. There is something in it which appeals with an effect that may not be resisted, to the heart and the consciousness of all. Who has not in imagination dwelt upon the scene? A stout and sturdy warrior, steeled by years of active military service against the pitiful appeals of suffering humanity?the victim of fierce and ungovernable passions?smarting under a keen sense of accumulated wrong?consecrates the energies of liis life to the avenging of his injury, and exiled from the city whose annals his military prowess had adorned, sallies forth the infuriated minister of wrath. Sacrificing all higher and more ennobling aspirations?sullying forever the hard-earned laurels of the victor of Corioli ?he seeks, even at the price of a traitor's fame to purchase a satisfying vengeance. Rallying around Mm an army of tlie enemy lie hacl prostrated for her, lie throws himself with an exulting legion upon the offending city, and thunders at her gates. Appalled and prostrate at the realization of her seemingly inevitable doom, ii.oi.ue,.trembles before him. With humbled pride, her haughty senators, in solemn procession,come to sue for mercy. Disdainfully repulsed, they dispatch tte- niinistersspf their religion to woo with the hopes of futurc^Miss, and intimidate with the prospect of a coming retribution. But all in vain. Unrclentingand unmoved by every appeal, the stern veteran relaxes not his purpose. Then come the mother's tears. Bending under the weight of years?sustained only by a holy hope, the aged matron sallies forth. Who can paint the scene? Who may realize the meeting? In the most insensate soul, there arc treasured associations and memories, which, forgotten amid the wild tumult of angry passion, awaken at the whisper of a mother's name, to beat in cvgry pulsation' of the heart, and thrill through every librc of the frame. There isa sentiment of holy veneration in the soul of the child to its mother, which lie must sound the.lowcst depths of infamy who may forget or disregard. With streaming eyes anil anguished heart, the Roman mother kneels to plead with her traitor son. Appealing to him by all the hallowed memories of his uneorrupted boyhood, and chiding with the affectionate rebuke and tenderness that well up from a mother's soul towards an erring child, she conjures him to relinquish his cherished purpose. The warrior is unmanned. 'Talk not of grief'till thou hast seen the tears of war!T!3?-rnv^;' Fearful,,hut of brief duration,is the struggle ijf-^on tending emotions.
