Lore's Gifts; By Mrs.. Il. H. Sigourney-lt Is
the native dialect of love, to reveal It's compla-
cence by gifts The child presents its tavorlte
teacher with fresh flower. 1t hastens to It's
mother with the first, best rose from IFS little gar
den; and in the kiss to its father, with winch II
resigns itself to sleep, gives away its whole
heart The wife willingly trusts to her chosen
protector "her all Of earth-perchance her all
of heaven" Why should mother give with
such bitter repinng her infant TO her God? =,
Does she say it was unsuied and beautiful?
Love delights in yielding the best gifts to the best
beloved Would she prefer to have withheld 1t,
till it had become less lovely4-tll, warped py
the deceit of the world, the way of darkness
chosen, and salvation through Christ unsought;
it should be an unfit offering for being OF pu-
rity2
Love reoices to place its object in the most
eligible situations. "Beine evil, we yet know
how to give good gifts to your children" We
are pleased to see them in the pursuit of know
ledge, in the path Of virtue, in possession of the
esteem of the great and good. In sending them
from home we seek to secure for them the ad-
vantages of refined society, the superintendent
of friends of wisdom and piety. If a nobleman
were to adopt them, if they were to have man
sion with princes, should we not be grateful for
the honcr2 Why, then, with such unspeakable
reluctance do we see them 60 to be an angel
among angels, and to dwell glorously in the
presence of God, the Judge of all, and the spl-
rts of just men made periect?"
We learn from a gentleman just from New
Orleans that that place enjoyed, when he lett,
an unusual degree of health; and that on his
passage to this place he was on three several

When the Earl of Ripon's seat of Knockton
Hall, in England was lately destroyed by hre;
a chest marked F" To be saved first in case of

lures and library were destroyed.
Some magined it contained title deeds,
others gold and silver, but upon its being open
ed it was found to contain the playthings OF
deceased favorite and only child. This is
trait that honors human nature, and we can
not conceive a sweeter tribute than this to the

The following advertisement was issued in
China by Captain Putnam of the brig Naboo.
1t was afterwards translated and published in
the Chinese language We insertit as curlosh

and English idiom.-Bost. Gaz.
"Absconded, last night from the American
Brig Nabob, Samuel Butler, the Cook. and John
Smith, the Steward, taking with them $50 Span
ish dollars belonging to the master and first Of
ficer-who offer reward of $50 for apprehend-
ing said Cook and Steward and securing them,
together with the dollars.
(Signed.) G. w. PUTNAM,
Master Of big Nabob, at Whampoa.
The Chinese version is as follows:
son the evening Of the third day of the Sth
moon, two black foreign deriis,* one the butler,
and the other the cook Of the vessel Puttum,t
now at Whampoa, escaped from her by stealth
with foreign faced money, more than four hun
dred rounds in their possession, the property OF
the captain and mate; and the place of their
concealment is unknown. Should any Superior
man know of their dopnfaH, and will secure and
fetch them to the vessel Put-hum at Whampoa,
it is clearly understood that on these tpO FO-
reign Black Derils being recognized he will be
thanked for his trouble with focered red money!
Fifty great Rounds! Truly these words are
true. and will not be eaten! This Chap issued
from Put-lum's ship at anchor at Whampoa."
The Chinese call all foreigners black and
white devils, in contradistinction to their own
people.
They designate the vessel by the name of
the Captain.
