A spirit Of fault>fnding; an unsatislied
temper, constant irritability; little ine-
Qualities in the looks, the temper, or the
manner; a brow cloudy and dissatisfied
your husband or wife cannot tell why
will more than neutralize all the good you
can do, and render life anything buta bles-
sing. tits such gentle and quiet virtues
As meekness and forbeerance, that the
happiness and usefulness Of life consists,
far more than in brilliant eloquence, in
splendid talent, or ilIustrious deeds that
shall send the name to future times. Iii
the bubbling spring which flows gently;
the little rivulet which glides through the
meadow, and which runs along day and
night by the farm house, that is useful,
rather than the swollen food Of the war;

God there, US he 'pours il from his hollow

sands of silver fountains end gently flow
ing rivulets, that shall water every farm,
and every meadow, and every garden, and
that shall flow on every day and every
night with their gentle and quiet beauty.

great deeds only, like those of Howard, not
hy grea, sufferings only, like those OF the
martyrs-,hat good is to be done; it is by
the daily and quiet virtues of lile-the
christian temper, the meek iorbearance'
the spirit Of forgiveness in the lhnsband'
the wife, the father, the mother, the bro
,her, the sister, the ncighbor, that good is
TO be done; and in this all may be useful.
