I'be one great blessing which misfortune bears on its bosom in the touchstone it ap plies to pretended friendship. We Itn4* thousands who are aur very good compan ions #hile thesnn of prosperity rolls through an unefonded atmosphere ; but let the hor itfmi be dVCrosst, itnd thunder mntfrgr irritw» distance—let the harvest of hope be mil* dewed by a moment's tolly, and we aiiaU soon see the swallows of a social olime make off to wanner latitudes. This is the experience of the world ; it id 1 every man's experience ; and we should en deavor to reeoiiciic ui, Twelves to the thought. L**t ns not think oiirnoWs injured and **ur<> companions depraved, Uecauae they refuse to be made miserable by other sorrows thnn heir own. Let ns estin ate their acquaint* nice at its worth, and pi iso at til more ly the friendship, if any which clings tolia id decay. One friend who has passed hrough the fiery ordeal of adversity, sM . brought us put a heart uninjured on the.; other side, is worth a swarm of summer, butterflies. He is the redi-cming feature r in the monster of society, and »<■ estimate his value in direct ratio with the deceit hr falsehood we have elsewhere met. He has , psntiwaed and ,not betrayed ; he has enjoy ed our mirth, and not been estim.geq hv our misery ; he has watched at our side wfiile life and death played even coun ter* on our counterpane, and ivory s *jM4p appealed il» be. fiigfltened with another por-' tton m otir soul.

We read a common destiny forman ia his *> Mpat hi* wg gnfthf and this voice which soothed our a g*n»y ; quires an almost sacred right to rebuke a* * recurrence of tin* folly whose niter wreck 1 it ban on«e averted, 1 ■> Gratitude to such a friend is not so much a duty as a holy and delightful privilege. We feel that every throb of affedtimiatn memory is so much rescued f»-nnv the ren wilderness of self* We know that among th* myriads meteor-l ighta ot'iraniH. lent passion, folly, interest or indolence, <? which illuminate the dark v ile of life, there is a Isa one steady afar tv hi ch shines at %>>■ distance from the earth, aud will forevep continue so U» ahiur, eytn though we blind ourselves tp the gulf it reveals, and follow some other guidance down the flowery, steeps which beetles over the river of de struction. Even love itself, in a}! its purity* ia not so pure an such a gratitude; some particle of vanity forever mingles in tha , divine sentiment of love, W« cannot love , without hope; any more than we can, be nourisired without food; the hope insy be , contrary to reason, but we cherish it nev*, ertherlcss. Love lies on hope, and revolea $o the medows of futurity. If the present gives but a cold and sterile prospect, fancy is not 9IOW to picture a paradise beyond, atd in that paradise our own is coupled with another figure. But gratitude ia simple in its taste, and solitary in the image it presents. Like the Vestal fires, it uever 1 dies, aud though never -mien in the suns shine, it brightens and grows still more bright and cheerful us the shadows gal her • < round the object of its devotion. Coma * mend us to gratitude? Welcome adversity when it bears this precious jewel on its head? The sense of obligation to a menu "< or malicious mind is the most crushing 7 * weight that povei ty is called upon to en dhre But when we can cla*p the warm (land of a friend, and acknowledge our in debt ness, Heaven opens in the background of the picture, and angels smile on an ass ft cliou as pure and uuterrestiaU as their own.
