Novels arc to the mind what intoxicating drinks are to tho body Is this assertion too broad V l think not, hi the opinion of those who have carefully observed the different cf f'ects upon their minds of fielitioiM stories and religious and philosophical facts. The former produce a deoply fitful, intense exoito nient, which however, soon passes off, and that fascinating tale is looked hack upon us a ' dream of nM t—its value and usefulness nil ; vanish with the exciting moment, leaving a void which continues to crave the same stiui- , lant without ever feeling satisfied. Ueligiun and philosophy produce, on the contrary, u rational, practical and salutary effect—rnno- j fling tho moral faculties, nud expanding the j j intellect; and giving a sense of pleasure which is akin to that of celestial beings Novels! they are noxious vapors lefore tho glorious sunlight of truth ! The vise, and good and , great, will seem to stoop to their degrading influence. -- j'.^We always like to see gentlemen and ladies with beautiful and rich gold rings on their fingers, and long dirty finger nails.

'Thirty years,’ replied Nature; 'will that be agreeable to tbee V ‘Alas !' answe/ed the ass ; ‘it is a long wbile ! Remember what a wearisome exist ence will bo mine ; from morning until night I shail have to bear heavy burdens, dragging heavy ccru saebs to the mill that others may cat bread, while I shall have no encourage ment, nor bo refreshed by anything but blows and kicks Give me but a portion of that time I pray 1’ Nature was moved with compassion and presented but cightecu years, The ass went away eemforted, and thedog came forward ‘How long dost thou require to live asked Nature; ‘thirty years were too many for the ass ; but wilt thou be contented with them ?’ ‘Is it thy will that 1 should?’ replied tbe dog; ‘think how much I shall have to run about; my feet will not last for so long a time, and when 1 shall have lost my voice for barking, and my teeth for biting, what ciso shall I be fit for but to lie in tbs corner and growl V Nature thought bo was right, and gave him twelve years.

Thus tnnn lives seventy years. The first thirty are his hu man years, and pass swiftly hy. lie is then healthy ami happy, and rej dees in Lis exist ence. The eighteen years of the ass come nest, and burdens are heaped upon him , he carries the corn that is to feed others ; blows and ki.'ks arc the wages of his faithful service The twelve years of the dog follow, ar.d he looses his teeth, and lies in the corner and growls.

A man may in some sort tie his frail hopes and hon ors to this weak, shifting ground tackle, to Bis business or tho world ; but a woman with out that anchor called Faith, is a drift and a wreck ! A man may clumsily continue a sort of moral responsibility out of his relations to mankind ; but a woman in her compara tively insulated sphere. w here affection and not purpose is the controlling motive, can find no Basis in any other system of right action but that of spiritual faith. A man may craze his thoughts and his brain to truthfulness, in such poor harborage as fame and reputation may stretch before him. but a woman—whore can site put her hope in storms, if not in Heaven? And that sweet truthfulness— that abiding love—that enduring hope, mel lowing every page arid econo of life—ligb'cn ing thou with pleasant radiance, when -the world’s storm broaks like an army with smoking cannon—what can bestow it nil but a holy soul, tied to what is stronger than an army with cannon ?—Who has enjoyed the love of a Christian mother, but will echo the thought with energy, and hallow it with a tear tlMlSiSATI SI.
