THE POOR.

| In the subjoined extract from discourse
recently delivered by DR.. Claiming, on the
sufferings ofthe poor, there is strong truth
presented in a novel manner We set too
much value upon physical comfort, ard are
too apt to think that if we supply food and
clothing to the iLdigent, that their wants are
relieved. These are the least wants, particu-
/ larly in this country, of those who are to be
benefited by benevolent exertion. The Dol
lar that is spent upon the adult pauper's body,
would have worked a hundred fold more good
had it been given to satisfy the mental wants
of the neglected child.
"The outward condition of the poor is a
hard one. l mean not to cfiticise it with the
apathy Of the stole, to deny that pain is an e.
vii, privation n loss ofgood. But when CON-
pare together, different classes as existing at
this moment in the civilized world, / cannot
think the difference between the rich and the
poor, in regard to mere physical suffering, so
great as is sometimes imagined. That some
of the INDECENT among US die of scanty food,
is undoubtedly true; bnt vastly more in this
community die from eating too much than
from eating too little: vastly more from ex-
cess than starvation. So as to clothing, many
shver for want Of defences against the cold;
but there are vastly more suffering among
the rich from absurd and criminal modes Of
dress, which fashion has sanctioned, than a.
mong the poor from deficiency of ranent.-
Our daughters are oftener brought to the
grave by their rich attire than our beggars by
their nakedness. SO the poor are often over
worked, but they suffer less than among the
rich who have nothing to do, no interesting
subject to fiji up life, to satisfy the infinite
cravings Of man for action. According to our
present mode Of education, how many of our
daughters are victims of ennui, misery un.
known to the poor, and more intolerable than
the WEAKNESS Of excessive toil.-The idle
young man, spending day in exhibiting his
person in the street. ought not to excite the
envy Of the overtasked poor, land this cumber-
er OF the ground is found exclusively among
the rich.
repeat 1.-THE condition Of the poor, de.
serves sympathy, but let us not, by exaggera-
on OF its pains, turn away our minds from
the great inward sources Of their misery. In

FIsKE MEDICAL PRIZE QUESTIONS.

The Trustees of the Fiske Fund, propose
to the members of the Rhode Island Medi-
cal Society, the following Questions for the
Premiums to be awarded at the succeeding
ANIMAL Meeting of said Society, to be held
at Providence, on the last Wednesday III
June, A. ID. 1886.
y Question 1St-What are the causes and
nature of Rheumatism, and the best mode OF
treatment to be employed therein
Question 2d.-What are the causes and
nature of Purpura lI9morrhagica, and the
best mode Of treatment to be employed there
in?
4 II is tho wish of the Trustees that the Dis
sertations should possess as little OF u theo-
retical and as much Of u practical character as
possible: it is therefore recommended that
the writer's dwell no more upon the theory oil
"the causes and nature" than they may deem
necessary for a clear understanding OF the
principles by which they were guided IN the
selection of the treatment by them adopted.
| For the best dissertation on each OF the n
bove subjects the Trustees will award and
pay the sum OF forty dollars, or will present
gold medal Of equal value, at the option OF
the author.
Every competitor for the premium or pre-
miums, must conform to the following regu-
latons, viz

the Trustees, on or before the first day OF
February 1886, free of all expenses, copy

Ithereupon, and also accompanying it n sealed
letter, having the same motto inscribed upon
the outside. and his name aud place OF resi-
dence within. Both dissertation and letter
must be written in a clear and legible man.

fu Dissertations will be destroyed by the
Trustees, unopened and the Dissertations
may be procured by their respective authors
from the Trustee to whom they were direct
ed, if application be made therefor within
three months from the annual meeting; but
all such as remain uncaled for, after the ex'

HAPPINESS.

There is nothing in nature more worthy Of
our attention than the art ofhappiness. In the
common occurrences Of life, it often depends
upon the slightest incidents. Taking notice
Of the bad weather, an easterly wind, the ap-
proach Of winter, or the most trihing crcum-
stance of the dsagreeable kind, will insensi-
bly, rob whole company of its good humor,
and give every member it the blues. If,
therefore, we would be happy ourselves, and
are desirous of communicating happiness to
all around us these dsagreable incidents, in
conversation, ought always to be avoided
The brightness of the sky, the lengthenlng
of days, the increasing verdure of the spring,
the arrival of any little piece of good news,
or whatever carries with it a turn of social
and happy conversation. Good manners and
regard for the happiness of others, always re-
quire of us this caution whenever we are IN
company. The cod may repine at the sun
shine that ripens the harvest, because his tur-
nps are burnt up by it; but the man ofrefne-
ment will! extract pleasure from the thunder
storm to which he is exposed, by remarking
OH the plenty and refreshment which may be
expected from the succeeding shower. Thus
does politeness as well as good sense, direct
US to look at every object on the bright side;
and by this practice, every person may ar
rive at that agreeableness of temper of which
the natural and never-failng fruit is happi-
ness.

this city, the condition Of a majority Of the
INDECENT are such, as would be thought eligi-
Bile elsewhere. Insure to an European peasant
an abundance of wheaton bread through
every season Of The year, and he would bless
his easy lot. Among US, many poor family,
if doomed to live on bread, would murmur at
their hard fare; and accordingly the table of
the INDECENT is daily spread with condiments
and viands hardly known in the cottage of
the transatlantic laborer. The Greenlander
and Laplander, dwelling in huts, and living
on food compared with which, the accom-
modations of the poor are abundant, are more
than content.-They would not exchange
their wastes for our richest soils and proud
est cities. It is not the physical suffcrings
of the poor, but their relation to the rest of
society, their means of inward life, the de-
grading influence of their position, to which
their chief misery is to be traced"

CoNTRAsr.-Observe the difference be-
tween religion which God makes for man,
and religion which man makes for God.
Man in the vanity of his notions and the emp
tness of his pride would think the practical
precepts Of the Gospel as below the dignity
Of religion.-He would think a smoking altar,
a gorgeous temple, sounding song of hal
lelujahs, pealing from ten thousand voices, far
more sublime than deed Of gentle
generosity quietly done to a poor, afflicted,
humble creature, sinking down into the dust
Of oblivion and wretcbedness. What deal
Of smoke and noise there is about the religion
men make for God!-How generous, gentle,
and blessed is the religion which God makes
for man!-London .Ntp Monthly .Nogazine.

or Court of Nations, for the amicable adjust
ment of all international disputes instead of an

the appointment to fil the vacancy in the com
mittee occasioned by the lamented death Of

The committee now consists of EXPIRE
sident ADAMS, Hon. CHANCELLOR KENT, and
Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER.
About forty Dissertations have been written.
The Report Of the Society, states the number
in the hands Of the committee to be thirty
seven. One was withdrawn, making thirty
eight, and another has been at least sketched
by an able writer in one of our neighborng
towns; and is, we hope, ere this finished and
in possession Of the committee. Many of the
Dissertations, if printed, would form large
octave volume. One Of them, written in ele-
giant Latin, 10 sent from Rio dc Janeiro.
The Dissertations were so numerous and so
voluminous, il was found necessary to appoint
Q subcommittee for their previous examina-
ton, and this subcommittee, named by the
Board Of Directors, have selected seven Of the
Dissertations to be presented separately to
the committee first named.-The Disserta-
tions are now in the hands of Mr.. Adams.
Il will be borne in mind, prize has been
offered by The Count de Sellon, President Of
the Geneva Peace Society, for the best Essay
on the same subject, TO be written either in

Farewell-we may not meet again
Till dis,an. years have sped their fight,
And many an hour Of anxious pain
May shed Ger each its wilhering blight.
Yet oh! whate' 'er may be my lot,
How dark soe'er life's clOuded way,
No power shall from my memory blot
Dear thoughts Of thee when Ear away.
And though remembrance must not dwell
On all the joys aoe both have proved,
Yet often true her tale will tell
Of those most cherished, most beloved;
or those, which in the sunlit hours,
Were dearest 10 each youthful heart.
And which, like worn and faded flowers,
Can still sweet fragrancy impart.
I weep to think when lie was new,
And grief had not subdued the heart,
We thought from our delighted view
The scene Of bliss could ne'er depart;
weep 10 think how soon the morn
OF pleasure faded from our way,
And o'er this worlds rude path, forlorn,
Our lonely steps were forced to stray.

In sunny youth the minstrel Tyre
To notes Of joy are strung,
And Ger each gaiIy answering wire
The boy enchanted hung.
His hope was free, his heart beat high,
For she, his lady love was nigh;
And tendery her melting eye
Beaned on him as be sung.
In sunny youth to pleasures breeze
We set our silken sail,
And lightly borne o'er summer seas,
Her fairy islets hail.
The skies are always cloudess there,
The fragrant bowers are bright aud fair,
And music in the balmy air
Is heard Ger hill and dale.
All! sunny youth, in distance bsanlng,
A light spot on the sea,
Ger wintry pillows family cleaning,
We still look back onthee.
Wisdom points to scenes sublime,
But as her glacier SHOWS we climb,
How bIes, appears youths summer time
OF love and pOesy.

THE IVY.
Have you e'er seen the moons soft splendor
Sleep peaceful on some ruin'd pile,
Gliding with radiance mild and tender,
Each broken arch and mouldeIing aisle'
Have you e'er seen the ivy cingng
Round fragments broken and decayed.
As If its manting wreaths 'twere Ainging
To heal the breaches Time had made!
Oh! thus. should care or sorrow wound thee,
Be friendships soft endearments thine
And fondest sympathy around thee,
As close her thousand tendrils twine.
And when at last each youthful token
Shall yield to wasting and decay,
And thou, like arch or column broken,
Shall feel proud manhood's strength give way
Oh! then may Love, by Time mistaken,
Around its earliest prop still cling
Like nIouldering arch, that's ne'er forsaken
BY the fond wreath ii caused to spring.
