MISCELLANEOUS 



REMEMBER THE POOR. 



Remcmher the Poor ! 



It fearfully siioweth, 



And bitterly blowetli; 

 Thou eouldst not endure 



The tempest's wild ]inwer 



Through night's dreary hour, 

 Then pity the poor ! 



Remember the Poor ! 



The father is lying 



In that hovel dying 

 With sickness of heart. 



No voice cheers his dwelling. 



Of Jesus' lave telling, 

 Ere life shall depart. 



Remember the Poor ! 



The widow is sighing. 



The orphans aie crying, 

 Half starving fo' liread : 



With eagerness speed ye 



To succour the needy. 

 Their helper is dead ! 



Remember the Poor! 



The baby is sleeping, 



Its cheeks wet with weeping, 



On its mother's breast , 



Whose coujh deep and hollow 

 Foretells she '11 soon follow 



Her husband to rest ! 



Remember the Poor ! 



To him who aid lendeth, 



Whatever he spendeth 

 The Lord will repay ; 



And sweet thoughts shall cheer him. 



And God's love be near him, 

 In his dying day ! 



! garments of virtue. It is easy, lc;arfiilly easy, to 

 sin ; it Is difficult to be pure and holy. Put on 

 thy streiiytli, then; let thy chivalry be aroused 

 a;jainsl error : let truth be the lady of thy love — 

 defend her. — Southern Rose. 



Patriotism The British had taken possession 



of a beautiful and very valuable house, belonfiino' 

 to Mrs Jacob Motle. Lieut. Col. Lee waited upon 

 her, and informed her that in order to dislodge 

 the enemy, he was afraid it would become necessa- 

 ry to burn the building. She instantly replied, 

 "The sacrifice of my property is nothing, ami I 

 shall view its destruction with delight, if it shall in 

 any degree contribute to the good of my country." 

 ■| his was not a mere boast : Mrs Motli> with her 

 own hands furnished the arrows that were to con- 

 vey the combustible materials to the roof 



This was one of the many acts of fe.uale patriot- 

 ism e.xhibited during the American revolution. 



Stealing upon Credit. — A farmer in Connec- 

 ticut, Iiaving lost several of his sheep, discovered 

 after a while that they had been " hooked" by a 

 neighbor ; and without taking any other means of 

 redress, sent him a bill to the amount deficit, which 

 was paid without anuirmur. The next year his 

 flock was thinned in the sa le way, and on a much 

 larger scale ; and, with good reason, suspecting his 

 kind neighbor of being the pilferer, he sent him a 

 bill as before for the amount lost, at which the 

 neighbor demurred, alleging that he had not stolen 

 one half the number, and that some unprincipled 

 villain had been stealing vpon his credit !

Use of Falsehood. — A jury who were direct- 

 ed to bring in a prisimer guilty, upon his own con- 

 fession and plea, returned a verdict of not guilty, 

 and offered as a reason, that they knew the fellow 

 to be so great a liar that they did not believe hirn ! 



To Young Men. — There is no moral object so 

 beautiful to me as a conscientious young man. I 

 watch hiin as I do a star in the heavens; clouds 

 may be before him, but we know that his light is 

 behind them, and will beam again ; the blaze of 

 other's prosperity may outshine him, but we know, 

 that though unseen, ho illumines his own sphere. 

 He resists temptation not without a struggle, for 

 that is not a virtue — buthc does resist and conquer. 

 He hears the sarcasm of the proHigate and listings 

 him, for that is the trial of virtue, and ho heals the 

 wound with his own pure touch. He heeds not the 

 watchword of fashion, if it lead to sin: the atheist 

 who says not only in his heart hut with his lips, 

 " there is no God," controls not him, for he sees Ihi^ 

 hand of a creating God and reverences it, of a pre- 

 serving God and rejoices in it. Woman is shelter- 

 ed by fond arms and guided by loving counsel ; 

 old age is protected by its e.'^perience — manhood 

 by its strength ; but the young man stands amid 

 the temptations of the world like a self-balanced 

 tower. Happy is he wlio seeks and gains the prop 

 and shelter of Christianity. 



Onward, then conscientious youth ! raise thy 

 standard and nerve thyself for goodness. If God 

 baa given thee intollectual power, awake it in that 

 cause ; never let it be said of thee, he lielped to 

 swell the tide of sin, by pouring his inttuence into 

 Its channels. If thou art feeble in mental strength, 

 throw not a small drop into a polluted current. — 

 Awake, arise young man I assume the beautiful 



Ready Wit. — A boy having been praised for 

 his quickness of reply, a gentleman observed, when 

 children are so keen in youth, they are geiiurally 

 stupid when they advance in years. "What a very 

 keen hoy you mast have been, sir!" replied the 

 child.
