my child, have faith and be strong! Trust in the 
Lorp and He will provide!” 
“Mother,” answered the woman, without raising 
her bowed head, “Mother, I have tried to hope, 
but I cannot. William is worn out, his energies 
exhausted, and if he fails to get that miserable pit¬ 
tance for his toil to-day, we must starve, for we 
have no bread for to-morrow. Were I alone the 
sufferer, I could suffer and be strong,— but it 
will Rill me to have you lack for bread, and hear 
the little ones cry for hunger! Poor William, 
too," she added, with the tears silently falling from 
between her fingers. There was something in the 
despair wringing those tears from the woman's 
heart that was pitiful to look upon. 
“Mother,” whispered Mart, stealing up softly 
to her side, and putting her face close to hers, 
“Mother, is’nt there a little more soup—.fust, a 
little? I‘m so hungry!” 
« More soup '( —no, Mary, no; there is but a little 
left for your father. You would not eat your fa¬ 
ther's supper?” 
“Itwould taste so good," said Mary, choking 
down a sob. 
The woman started as though stung by a viper, 
and gazed mournfully at them all, as they clustered 
arouud her. 
“Anna,” said the voice from the bed, “behold 
Gop bearetli the young ravens when they cry for 
lack of food, and will He not feed these lambs?— 
Anna, my child, eome kneel down by this bed and 
let us pray.” 
Slie knelt down by her aged mother, the little 
ones kneeling by ber side, and the old woman 
raised herself up in bed, and poured forth her soul

THE SPRINGING OP THE GRASS. 
■When Southern winds begin to breathe, 
And skies a milder blue to wear, 
Upspringing from its rusBet sbeatb, 
The fresh glass lifts its waving hair. 
Amid the last year's dying leaves. 
The tender gems eome peering forth, 
As violets on Summer eves 
Smile from Iheir lowly beds of earth. 
Beneath the primrosip colored skies. 
Freed from Ihe Winter's icy chain, 
The solt, gray, spreading landscape lies, 
Awakening into life again. 
Oft, in the naked woods of Spring, 
I take my solitary way, 
To listen to the tones which bring 
The promise of a better day. 
The warble of the blue-bird's song. 
The whistle of the wild “ red-breast,” 
Borne on the gentle breeze aloDg, 
Startle the quiet, drowsy rest. 
And bright the rays of April’s sun. 
Twinkling in dingle, dell and stream, 
Through the dark, lonely forest run, 
Like angels through a solemn dream. 
But azure sky and golden ray, 
The olden pleasures cannot bring, 
Nor starry night, nor eunny day, 
Nor all the hopes that breathe of Spring. 
There comes the thought of one sweet flower, 
When russet fields their green resume, 
Whose lightsome footsteps never more 
Shall stray beyond the quiet tomb. 
Who to the hb ssed hand that gave, 
In youthful beauty, passed again, 
And now in silence sleeps, where wave, 
The children of the April rain. 
Yet, when these olden memories dim 
Their shadows o'er my pathway throw, 
I, bowing meekly, look to Him, 
Who makes the early grass to grow.

T JIK TRIAL OF REAPERS AND MOWERS, UNDER

! Perhaps 
Bhe is as keenly miserable in her gilded home as 
we in our cellar.” 
"But she does not feel this gnawing hunger — 
she never felt it!" 
*'0, Anna, you will drive rue mad!” 
“Then I will s3y no more. It is unkind I know; 
forgive me, and my God forgive me too!” 
“My children," said the aged woman, “come 
here; my sight is growiug feeble, my hands are 
getting chill, I would have yon near me. Do not 
fear for the morrow," sbo continued, with prophe¬ 
tic earnestness; "I have been young, and now am 
I old, yet never have I seen the righteous forsaken 
or his seed begging bread,” 
John Noble was coming down the street again. 
This time his step was light, though he bore a 
heavy bur Jen. He paused tinder a lamp, and 
wrote on a scrap of paper, “ God beareth the young 
ravens when they cry for lack of food, and will 
He not feed these lambs? Come to No. 119- 
st., to morrow at, ten o'clock, and a friend will tell 
you where you can find suitable employment”— 
He laid it carefully on the top of the well-lilled 
basket and stepped lightly down the lane. 
“ What can that be, Anna — was it a rap at the 
door? — who can he here to-night?" He opened 
the door withatreniblinghand. There wasno one 
there, but a large basket that was leaning against 
it, fell in, displayed its contents—rolls of bread, 
meat, potatoes and rice, and a parcel which was 
labeled, “For sick grandmother, from an unknown 
friend.” 
How can I describe the quick revulsion of feel¬ 
ing that followed this timely gift. Could the 
generous donor have been looking in (perhaps he 
was,) when the note was foun i and read and re¬ 
read, with eyes blinded with grateful tears, he 
would have felt more than paid for the self-sacri¬ 
fice, for it was a self-sacrulice, as he had at home 
a family dependent upon his daily toil; and could 
he have heard the prayers of thanksgiving which 
rose from that lowly bed, calling down the blessing 
of heaven upon him, be would have felt like put¬ 
ting the shoes from oil’ his teet, for that place was 
holy ground. 
“Shall I wake the little ones?” asked the wife; 
she felt as though they must all know the great 
joy that bad fallen upon them. 
“No let them sleep,” said the father, “and let 
the little stranger sleep. We will all breakfast in 
the morning, for thank God, there is enough for 
all!” .* 
They*at.e some bread to Batisfy their present need, 
and closed their eyes with thankful hearta to rest. 
The next, morning was the dawning of a brighter 
day than had smiled within their hearts for many 
a month. They eat their breakfasts with emotions 
that could not be experienced more than once in 
a lifetime; then William set out with a light 
heart to meet his friend, and next to God, to thank 
him for what he had done in their extremity. 
The sequel of my story is booh told. John 
Noble, the day before, chanced to meet au ac¬ 
quaintance from the country who was inquiring 
for a reliable tenant, and he promised to send him 
an honest, faithful man as soon as such a one could 
be found. In less than a week, William, Anna, 
and Grandmother, who had become bo much re¬ 
freshed by her nourishing diet, as to be able to 
take the journey, together with the little ones, and 
adopted stranger, set out for their country home. 
Perhaps, after a time, we will look in upon them 
again.

GOD PITY THE POOR 
THE WOUNDED STAG’S COMPLAINT 
On, why does man our race pursue 
From early morn till night? 
Why roatn the mountain forest through. 
To chase us in our flight ? 
Why from his unrelenting hand 
Flies the sharp, swift-winged dart ? 
Why speeds it at his stem command, 
To pierce the red deer’s heart ? 
We ne’er have robbed him of his right— 
Why, why is man our foe ? 
Why does it yield Ltui such delight 
To see our life-blood flow ? 
Oor mission in the wild-wood here 
Han naught of aogTy strife ; 
Though olt. provoked, tlio humble deer 
E'er seeks a peaceful life. 
Why then does man t>ur race pursue 
From early mom till night? 
Why roam the mountain forest through, 
To chase us in our flight ? 
Have mercy, ye who can so well 
This noble grace employ ; 
T’were better, e'en in this rude dell, 
To save than to destroy. 
It is not for myself I sigh— 
Alas I that sitrh were vain; 
For, tired and faint, I soon must lie, 
And never rise again. 
But ere my life quite ebbs away 
In death’s cold, stem embrace, 
For those unharmed and free 1 pray— 
Oh, spare my injured race 1

WIT AND SENTIMENT 
For Moore's Rural New-Yorker 
CHARADE, 
Ik you do good forget it; if evil, remember and 
repent of it. 
Anger begins with folly and ends with repent¬ 
ance. 
The key of the day and the lock of the night is 
prayer. 
Tub want of goods is easily repaired, but the 
poverty of the soul is irreparable. 
He who thinks his place below him, will cer¬ 
tainly be below his place. 
Difficulty of attainment is commouly propor¬ 
tioned to excellency of object. 
Everybody’ complains of his memory, none of 
his judgment. 
TnE most mischievous liars are those who keep 
just ou the verge of truth. 
The most valuable part of every man’s educa¬ 
tion, is that which he receives from himself. 
History, says Carlyle, is the essence of innu¬ 
merable biographies. 
TnE mind has more room iu it than most people 
think if we would hut furnish tlio apartments. 
The smallest and slightest impediments are the 
most annoying, aud as little letters most, tire the 
eyes, so do little affairs most disturb us. 
“ The discourse,” says Franklin, “ is often much 
better than tho speaker; as sweet and clear waters 
often come through very di rty earth.” 
“It is a great misfortune,” Bays La Bruyere, 
“not to have miud enough to talk well, nor judg- 
I ment enough to be silent.” 
Tnoucn my first is a single thing, 
Yet many hundreds from it spring; 
To men and animals a treat, 
For each will freely of it eat. 
Now I declare it is a flower 
That sweetly scents the verdant bower. 
And when Aurora’s tints are spread, 
Behold my second leaves its bed; 
Undaunted by a sense of fear, 
Its courage now will soon appear, 
For when contesting for a prize 
It never yields, but sometimes dies. 
My whole I now beg leave to say, 
Is always decked in gay array.
