GEMS FROM DoDsLEY.--The man to whom
God hath given riches, and a mind to employ
them Alright is peculiarly favored, and highly
| distinguished.
He looke,h on his wealth with pleasure,
because it affordi,h him the means to do
good.
He seekelh out objects Of compassion; he
nquireth into their wants, he recelvelh them
with judgment and without osten,alon.
He assis,e.h and rewardeth merit; he en-
courageth ingenuity, and literally promote,h
every useful design.
He pro,ecte,h The poor that are injured;
he sufere,h not the mighty to opPress the
| weak.
He carrielh on great works, his country rs
enriched, and The Iaborer is employeds lie
formeth new schemes, and the arts receive
improvement.
He considereth the superflui,ies Of his Ia.
bic as belonging 10 the poor, and he detraud.
eth.them not.
The benevolence ofhs mind is not check
ed by his fortune in riches, and his Joy is
| blameless.

A Position IN LucK.-Madame Cinti
Damoreau, the famous French Vocalist, who
travelled in this country some years ago. tells
very good story of one of her travelling ex-
periences in France.
She was travelling in post chase, and the
position, who rode one of the horses, took so
many glasses Of eau.de vie, to- fnrtify his
stomach against the cold, that he become
non seipse. or in other words, extremely
,ipsy. His great coat lay en- the back of one
of hi+ horses, and after sliding ont of place
from the joiling of the animal, fell into the
road. The position noticed it, dismonnted,
picked it up. and laid it on his horse.
"l'm in luck" said he with a hiccup-"l'vc
found great coat"
A litle while afterwards the same acci.
dent occurred to The coat. The position
picked it up again.
"I've found another coat" said he.
This circumstance was repeated third
time.
"By Jupiter!" said the position. this road
is full ofnvercoats. However, I've got three
besides my own, and III not get off again"
With these words, he rode on to Marse,l-
lilies, without finding any other surtouts but
unlucky he lost his own.
