A voIuTTEER friend is one upon whom you
should look with some degree Of caution. II
is possible that some motive, 70 you unknown,
springs him 10 action. Something besides a
desire TO help yeu. It's true that 10 this rule
there are some noble exceptions, but they are
few indeed. Ifyou wish 10 test the faithful
ness Of a man, just solicit a favor of him, by
the granting Of which he may have to make
some sacrifice. Luok well at his actions. OBJ
serve his movements. If he is willing TO 40
the best he can, cherish and encourage him.
If not, there is room to doubt Nay, il is often
necessary for man TO doubt. Doubt makes
man reason. Reason always requires proof.
Now, genuine friend is one VINO not only
wishes you well in your undertakings which
are praiseworlhy and lawful, bnt who is ready
10 lend helping hand in the diffusion Of good
Is humanity al large. Patriotism, what is u 2
d alongIng desire to do good TO our fellow man,
as well as 10 ourselves. Would that men could
feel more sensibly this noble impulse Of heart.


hen, and not until then, will the gloomy ha-
bi,a,ions Of earth, where nought but desola-
lalion regns, be inverted into homes Of peace
and happiness. VI a3 ys,B is# sassa
