Power of Kindness.

No man hath measured il-for it is buundless; nc
man hath seen its death for it is eternal. In al
ages Of the world-In every cline among every
kIno-it hath shone oul-a beautiful star-a beam
ing glory.
Look at The case of Saul and David. Bitter ant
blasting Jealousy filled the heart of Saul, and he
sought TO take the young mans life.' With hellsh
hate he hunted him, even to the dens and caves of the
earth. But David conquered his enemy--even the
proud spirit Of naughty Saul, he humbled. And
how? Not with swords and spears,--not with harsh
WORDS and coarse conIumely,--foT these did never
touch the heart with gentle influence. No,--but with
a Weapon, simple as The shepherds sling, yet sure
as the arrow of Death. Twas kindness! This
killed ranking hatred, and left Saul TO live. And
when it had done lis work, Saul said TO David. Thou
art more righteous than |, for thou hast rewarded me
good, whereas | have rewarded thee evil Was not
here a vIclory,--more glorious, more godllke, than a
Wellington ever knew?
See Joseph i the hands Of his wicked brethren.
For a few pieces Of paIlry silver, they sold him into
Egypt Providence, in kindness, broke the bands
which held him in slavery, and made him a ruler
there. Famine spread over the land her dark man
te,--and the cruel brethren of Joseph hungered.-
They went TO Egypt for corn. And how now acted
Josephf More than once he filled their sacks, and
returned them their money,-and then he made him
self known! lam Joseph, your brother, whom ye
sold into Egypt Here was kindness, forgiveness.
And it crushed to death the spirit of jealousy, that had
once made him a slave. He had conquered!
Come farther down in the worlds history,-and
tell me, what word of all those spoken by The meek

and lowly Jesus'-the prince Of Peace'--Ihe 'Sa-
viour Of the world'--was best calculated TO soften
and subdue the hard hearts of his prosecutors? Are
we not pointed to the cross on Calvary? Are not
we asked to listen 10 The sjt, swee. tones of that
voice-'Father, forgive lhemp O, here was kind
ness!
Look over our extended country, atthe present day.
What has changed those miserable novels of other
days, where misery and wre,chedness had dwelt, INTO
The neat and beautiful abodes of plenty and peaceS
What has kindled anew The flame of love and affec-
ton, in hearts long estranged and freezing with cold
ness? What has made happy the homes of thousands
of wives, and tens of thousands Of children? What,
in short, has been the great propellant Of the late tenn
perance reformation, which has carried joy and glad
ness all over our land? What, but kindness?
Reader, have you an enemy, whom you would
make a friend-a n%eigh5or, who needs repentance
a felon brother. whom you would restore TO sObriely

The Maniac.

Mrs. Child, 10 giving an accounted an interview
with Miss Dix, the heroic woman who has visited so
many prisons and alms. houses in this State and New
York, relates the following anecdotes as Illustrative
OF the power OF the religious sentiments over Insane
people.
Ga one occasion, this missionary of mercy was

On another occasion, she had been leading some
twenty or thirty maniacs in worship, and seeing them
all quiet as lambs gathered into the shepherds fold,
she prepared to 90 forth to other duties. IN leaving

EXpediency.

Some one has illustrated this doctrine by supposing
that q beggar asks for a sixpence to buv bread to keep
him from starving. II do not give it, says the man,
the beggar will starve;-so be shall have the SIN
pence. But no, If he gels it and buys The bread, he
may use the strength it gives him, 10 committing some
a,rocious crime; he shall not have tho money. But

and there his lonely medilatlons may bring him 10

and even lead others into crime and ruin; lll not give

The Moral Warfare
BK J. C.

When freedom, on her natal day,
Within her war.rocked cradle lay,
An iron race around her stood,
Babtized her infant brows in blood,
And, thro' the storm which round her swepI
Their constant ward and watching kept.
Then where quiet herds ropose,
Tho roar Of baIeful battle rose,
And brethren Of q common tongue
To mortal strife as tigers sprung,
And every gift ou Freedom's shrine
Was man for BEST, aud blood for wine!
Dur fathers to their graves have gUne;
Their strife is past--iheir triumph won;
But Steiner trisle wait the race
Which rises in their honored place
A WARFARE with the crime
And folly Of all evil time.
So let it be! IN Gods owe might
We glrd US for the coming fight,
And strong in Him whose cause is ours
ia conflict with unholy powera,
We grasp the weapons He has given,
10 Light, and Truth, and love Of Heaven.

Political action contrasted with Moral
action.

When Isaac Hopper lived in Philadelphia, his at
tenlion was drawn to a colored printer called Can,
who was remarkable for profanity. Neither persua-
sion nor rebuke had any effect to change this bad hab-
il. One. day Hopper found him in the stree, quar-
rel!ing, and pouring forth volleys Of oatbs, that made
one shudGer. Having faith in fines and conslables,
Hopper took him before a magistrate, who fined him
for blasphemy.
Twenty years after, Isaac met Cain, whom he had
not seen for r very long time. HIS outward appear.
nnce was much changed for the worse; his garments
were tattered, and his person emaciated. This touch
cd the Friend'e heart. He stepped up, shook hands,
and spoke kindly 70 the foflorn being. 'DosI not

Der what paid as well as Yesterday We'll, did it

to have my money taken from me-

Truth and Freedom.
By WI. q. GALLAGHER.

For the Truth, then, let US battle,
Whatsoever fate betide!
Long the boast that we are Frecnen,
We have made, and published wide.
lie who has the Truth, and keeps it,
Keeps what not 70 him belongs,
But performs q selfish action,
That his fellow mortal wrongs.
lie who seeks the Truth, and trombles
At the dangers he must brave,
Is not fit 10 be a Freeman;
lie at least is but slave.
lie who hears the Truth, and places
Its high promptings under ban,
Loud may boast Of all that's manly,
But cgn never be a man.
Friend, this simple lay who readest,
Be not thou like either them
But to Truth give utmost freedom,
And the tide it raises, stem.
Bold in speech, and bold in action,
Be for overtime will test.
OF The free. soul'd and the slavisb,
Which fuIfIls life's mission best.
Be thou like the noble Roman--
Scorn the threat that bids thee fear;
Speak!-no matter what belides thee;
Let them strike, but make them hear!
Be thou like The first Apostle
Be thou like heroic Paul;
If n free thought seek expression;
Speak it boldly !-speak i, all!
Face thine enemies-Hccusers;
Scorn the prison, rack, or rod!
And, if thou hast a Truth to utter,
Speak and leave the rest to God.

From The Youths Monthly ViSiter.
The Duty---the Reward.

Every day hath toll and trouble,
Every heart hath care;
Meekly bear thine own full mea sure,
And thy brothers. share.
Fear not, shrink not, though The burden
Heavy to thee prove;
God shall fill thy mouth with gledness,
Aud thy heart with love.
Patiently enduring, ever
Let thy spirit be
Bound by links, that cannot sever,
To Humanity!
Labor! wait! thy Master perish'd
Ere his task was done;
Count not los, thy fleeing moments,
Life hath but begun.
Labor! and the seed thoa sowest,
Water with thy tears;
God is faithful, he will give thee
Answer to thy prayers.
Wait in hope! Though yet no verdure
Glad my longing eyes,
Thou shalt see the ripened harvest
Gsrner'd in the skies.
Labor! wait! though midnight shadows
Gather round thee here,
And the storm above thee lowering,
Fill thy heart with fear
Wait.in hopn! tho morning dawnelh,
When the night is gone;
And a peaceful rest awaits thee,
When thy work is done.
