THE THREE BOYS AND THE JEWEL

THE THREE BOYS AND THE JEWEL.
 There was once rich old man who had three sons. Being near his end, he resolved to divide his property among them. But he had very precious jewel beside, which he promised to give to that son who should per- form the most noble and generous act with in three months
 At the appointed time the young men came to make their report to their aged father. The eldest spoke irst:- met an entire stranger who entrusted me with the whole of his property. l might easily have kept it all to myself, for Ire had no wit ness, or means of proving the fact. But ] faithfully returned to him the whole. Was not that noble and generous 2"
 "No my son." replied the old man, "you did nothing more than was strictly just"
 Then the second son said," "I saw child which had fallen into the river, and was on the point of being drowned. A crowd of people stood around but none dared 10 ven- ture into the waving flood. lplunged in at the risk ofmy life, and saved the drowning infant. Was not tha, noble and generous 2?
 "The act was indeed praiseworthy." said his father," but it was only the dictate of hu- manity."
 The youngest son then stepped forward
  He said,"I found my mortal enemy, who once attempted to take my life, fast asleep on the edge ofa precipice, to which he had ap. preached in the night without being aware of his danger. His life was in my bowen for the least motion would have plunged him down the abyss. At the risk of sharing his fate if did not succeed in saving him, drag ged him from the fatal spot"
 "Take the jewel, my son." exclaimed the old man, "that was truly the spirit of the Gospel of Christ. who has said, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, and dc good to them that hate you" It cannot be revenge is sweet To those who learn at Jesus fret The words iha, breath 90 much of heaven, Forgive as ye would be forgiven" How happy they, within whose breast Revenge is neer allowed to rest But who like Christ himself would live. Who cen his murderers could forgive!

HENRY CLAY AT HOME.

The following very interesting account of the manners and habits of the great States man of the West, is from the Western Chris tain Advocate--one of the organs of the Methodist church-the editor of which re. gently visited MR. CLAY, at his residence in Ashland:
 "A person who sees so many newspapers as an editors exchange list furnishes, could scarcely visit Lexington without making some inquiry concerning Ashland and its proprietor. It happened that our well tried innate friend of MT. Clay. Their acquain. Danville circuit in lSl6, who by his power ful eloquence, cogent reasoning, and over- whelming Scriptural authorities, gave a death blow to the rife Arianism of that coun. try, which threatened to overrun Kentucky. Our kind host conveyed us to Ashland but the proprietor was not at home. On hear ing, however, of our visit, we received 0 most cordial invitation to dine at Ashland, of which we awaited ourselves, and spent three full hours in very pleasant chat with our en- tertainer, and three more agreeable hours we never spent iu all our life. Mr. Clay is sixty five years of age, but might pass for fifty, and will, in all probability, be well capable of public business till four-score pass over his head, if fGod spare him that long. His manners are as plain and republican as they are gentlemanly and unaffected.
 "The moral principle, producing honesty and conscientious fidelity to his trust, seem ed to US to have taken deep possession of his mind, and we believe governs his heart He is now closely engaged in his duties as a lawyer, and does not forget his farm. which is in admirable order. His house is plain indeed, and his improvements around it, consisting of grass lawns, and rows of shade trees planted by his own hands, are in good taste, and in complete keeping with his republican principles and manner of life. And then, Mrs. Clay is more than pattern -she is an exact model for all the ladies in the land. She minutely superintends all her household affairs. Her little green house and collection of flowers and shrubs, are most tasty and well selected. But her but ter-yes, her BUTTER Cfor we ate some of it) -is superior. From her dairy. conducted un-

der her eyeshe supplies the principal hotels of Lexington and it is no small glory to her that her son Thomas showed, the other day, the suit which his mother purchased for him with the aVails of her butter. Whether her first name be Lucretia or not, we cannot say !; but then we are sure she deserves it. The topics of conversation were, moral, religious, and miscellaneous subjects and we were glad to learn to our satisfaction, that Mir. Clay was a firm believer in the Christain religion that he read his bible, and attended, with
 his excellent lady and family, the Protestant
 Episcopal Church in Lexington, and fre' quently hears ministers of other churches. :"

For the Enquirer. Extract from an unpublished poem.l LOVE AND BEAUTY.
DEDICATED TO MISS M-

DED1CATEO ID MISS M w. Oh love- oh woman's love thou pure and holy flame Too pure, almost, for common lips to name, If there is aught covet more than all The fading treasures of this mundane ball. 'Tis the affection of one guileless heart That never knew the coquettes willy art: To call so rich, so rare treasure mine, I'd walk on peas to holy Mecca's shrine, Travel barefooted OCT Sahara's sand, Or suffer punishment to cold Siberia's strand: The world might frown or fatter, would be Above its likings or asperity;
 The stone long sought by alchymists of old, Whose touch would turn all metal into gold, Were that stone mine, I'd sooner with it part, Than the pure love of that con6ding heart.
 And Woman's Beauty, too, what power is thine How on our world worn pathway thou dost shine; How do thy fair possessors charm us still, And lead us willing captives to their will To gain approving smiles from beauty's eye How many hearts would every death defy. Long e'er La Mancha's famed and valiant knight Went forth for damsels, in distress, to fight, Or Cleopatra, Egypt's ickle queen, Made the worlds conquerors sue with abject mien, Or Greece's Hellen with her beauty's glow Caus'd ten years war. and llium's overthrow, Thy power was own'd, thy influence was felt, And kings and peasants in hyprescnce knelt. Thy glance is seen in senatorial halls, And bursts of eloquence have rock'd the walls. The student in his lonely chamber sits Across his brain some fairy vision fits; How beats his heart with wild aspirings then, How glow the flowing numbers from his pen! Such is the wonder-working power that lies Like ambush'd foe, in lovely womun's eyes Woman the syren, whom we greatly fear, Will never help to make our Eden here. B.
