ChrisC's VOIuntarY POYerty

Who can think other than with scorn of
that base and unworthy concea which hath |
been entertained by some, that our Savior
lived here on earth upon almsl He that
Vouchsafed to take upon him the shape of
servant, would have hated to take upon him
the trade of beggar: service is lawful
calling, beggaty not SO. He that gave life
to all creatures, could take a maintenance
from them without asking. He that did
command the fish to bring the tribute money
for himself and his disciples. and could mul.
tiply few loves and fishes for the relief Of
thousands, could rather raise a sustenance
to himself and his than beg it. But here
was neither need nor cause, even ordinary
means failed not; many wealthy followers,
who had received cures and miraculous de-
liyerances, besides heavenly doctrine from
him, minislered to him of their substance.
Neither was this out Of charity, but out of
duty: in the charge which he gave TO bis
disciples, when he sent them By pairs to
preach abroad, he tells them the laborer is
worthy of his wages; and can we think this
rule doth not much more hold concerning
hlmselfg Had not himself and his family
been furnished with meet stock raised
from hence, what purse was it which Judas
borel and how could he be thief in hi
Office, if his bags were emPtyl He, there
fore that could say, s'K is mora blesse,
thing 10 give than receive" certainly Wonl,
not choose, when il was ia his power, rathe
toreceive than give. t'The earth is tn
! Lords, and the fullness thereof" and b
distributes il as he plsaseth amongst u
children Of men. For me, hope ! sha
have the grace to becontent With whassoevs
share shall fall to my lot; but ny pray,
!, shall be, that may begof none but God.

mind your readers that if they woud save
their young corn next spring from the de-
predations of squirrels, birds, &C., 10 pre-
pare for smoking their seed, according TO
the following recipe: Leave few husks
on the seed ears, SO that they can be hung
up in the snloke,ho house and smoked with the
hams, or hang them up in any dry place,
and before planting, dip the end Of a stick
in tar, set FIRE TO it, and holding it under The

A Remembrance,

Remembrance,
see thee still! thon art not dead,
Though dust is minging with thy form
ne broken sunbeam hath not shed
The final rainbow on the storm:
In visions Of the midnight deep, a
Thine accents through my bos Ia thrill,
Till joys fond impulse bids me weep,-
For, wraPt in thought see thee still!
see thee stlll, cheek Of rose,-
Those lips, with dewy fragrance wet,
That forehead in serene reprose-
Those soul-light eyes-I see them yet.
Sweet seraph. Sure thou art not dead
Thou gFacest still this earthly sphere,
An Influence still Is round me shed,
Like thine,--and yet thou arr not here!
Farewell, beloved! To mortal sight
Thy veTmiel cheek ne more may bloom;
No more thy smiles inspire delight,
For thou arl garnered in the tomb,
Rich harvest for that ruthless Power,
Which hath no bound TO mar his will -
Yet, as in hopes unclouded hour,
Throned in my heart, see the still.
