An answer, or rather proposed amendment 70
Ihort piece in the Enquirer some weeks ago-Motto
q Pray for your Minister" the amendment will up
pear plain to those who read it,
PRAY FOR YOUR MINISTER-THAr's GOOD.
Pray for your minister-that's right,
But keep his wants full in your sight;
Remember, when you pray, to give
Your temporal things that he may live.
Pray for your minister In deed,
IT'S right for him. with God to plead
On his behalf, that he may be
Bless'd ever in his ministry.
Pray for your minister! that's good,
But mind and give him ample food
For to sustain decaying nature,
Then you'll be bless'd by your Creator.
Pray for your minister at home,
Nor suffer selfish thoughts to roam.
Open your purse and granary door,
Repay him from your ample store.
Pray for your minister, ye saint,
Nor let him 60 to church al faint;
His temporal wants keep strict in mind,
Remember none can live on wind.
Pray for your minister abroad,
That he may rightly preach the word.
This can't be done, sirs, if you please,
Unless yon give him bread and cheese.
Pray for your priest, is all the cry,
But do not let him starve and die.
Be not like one who thought no harm
To say, BE fed and be ye warm:''
Pray'd, but withheld all needed good,
That nature crav'd for natures food.
Now pray, and pay, and what you give,
Do cheerful-and vour soul shall live
SAYBRooK. FAITHFUL.

Epr;ng.4-IfI were gifted with the genius
Of poetry should be inclined TO furnish an
efGsion on the present delightful season of
the year. But in simple prose- may be al
lowed to say few words on Ger3ening.
Divine Providence now opens to all an a.
greeable opportunity for manual labors IL
broad in the fresh, vigor-impafting atnlos-
phere, and beneath the genial influence of
thesun. Every man, may, every fenIGles ought
in some mode, if possible. to take good a.
mount of exercise III the open air. Some
persons are timid about exposing themselves
to the air, and some parents are fearful lest
their little ones should ever feel the gentle
breezes of heaven. Herein IS great, and as
it often proves fatal mistake. We expose
our health by exclusion, or rather by inclu-
sion. Why does the student grow pallet
Not by any tendency Of vigorous study to
within close walls, aud neglect of physical
exercise. The student may be as healthy as
any other man, if he will do asother healthy
men do. The delicae female, now as pale
as the paper am writing on, may learn how
to bloom again, if she win two or three times
a day just throw aside those too delicate gar
ments which SO hindegher action, and robe
herself for labor. Where? How? Let not
our politest and gentlcst readers be too soon
alarmed. Let them recover their firmness
by turning their eyes off our page moment,
till they reflect little, and they may not
need hartshorn or cologne to prevent their
fainting when we venture to tell them-A in the
Garden, with we'll handled hoe, and shi-.
ming spade, and strong-teethed rake, mellow
ing, and shaping, and smoothing the earth
their brothers have ploughea for them. We
will now recommend that they stop on their
way back to the parlor toll look at Susan's
cheeks, as she actively be6Ssoyer the wash
tub, that they may ascertain how to spread
over their own cheeks the finest rouge ever
invented for the human co1ntenance.s We
dare not say that it would make them bloom
as Susan blooms, to take her place a few
moments, and help her scrub and wiring
No-only look at her, and you may tor q
time possibly blush for your 0wn paleness, as
you think Of the occasion Of il, and this blush
may save one visit to the toilet. ri
Exercise, LABoR-ah, that is the better
word after all, for it means more than exer-
else; it means the doing something worth
doing, and enough of it to make us feel-and
exercise does no good, till It reaches this
point. We might be thought .guilty of using
too strong language if we should here quote
the words which an Apostle wrote in 2 Thes.

the Scriptures, please turn to the passage, and
let an Apostle speak. A. II.
