LEPROSY.

The awful disease of leprosy still exists in
Africa. Whether it be the same leprosy as
that mentioned in the Bible, do not know
bu, it is regarded as perfectly incurable, and
so infectious that no one dares 10 come near
the leper. Ia the south Of Africa there is a
large lazar-house for lepers. 1t is an i'm
nease space, enclosed by a very high wall,
and contains fields which are strictly guarded.
When any one is found with the marks OF
leprosy upon him, he is brought to this gate
and obliged 10 enter in never TO return. No
one who enters in by that awful gate is al
lowed to come out again. Within this abode
OF misery there are mul,itudes of lepers in
all the stages of tie disease. DR.. Helbeck,
a missionary of the church of England, from
the top OF neighboriug hill, saw them at
work.-He noticed two particularly, sowing
peas in the field. The one had no hands,
the other had no feet-these members being
wasted awav by the disease. The one who
wanted hands was carrying the other who
wanted the feet upon his back, and he, a
gain carried in his hands the bag of seed, and
dropped 4 pea every now and then, which
the other pressed into the ground with his
foot, and 50 they managed the work of one
man between the two. All! how little we
know of the misery that is in this world.
Such is this prison house of disease. Blu,
you will ask who cares for the souls of the
hapless inmates, Who will forsake father
and mother, houses and land, 10 carry the
message OF Saviour to these poor lepers -
Two Moravian missionaries, implied by
divine love for souls, have chosen this lazar-
house as their field Of labor. They entered
it never 10 come on, again And am told
that as soon as they die, other Morsvians are
quite ready to till,heir place. All my dear
friends, may we not blush and be ashamed
before God, that we, redeemed with the
same blood, and taught BY the same spirit,
should We, be 50 unlike these men in vche-
men,, heart consuming love Of Jesus and the
souls Of men -NChsyns.

SELECT POETRY.
GIVE PLACE, YE LADIES.

i
Il ballad, copied in Golfers Extracts, from the
Registers Oft the Sta.ioner's Company-datsd
1861.
Give place, you ladyes all,
Unto my mistress fsire,
For none ofyou, or great or small,
Can with my love compare.
fyou would knowe her WELL
You shall her howe bcholde. -
rany tongue at all may tell
Her beautieTsl many foide.
She is no: high, nc lowe,
Bu.ius, the perfect height,
Below M head, above my hart,
And than wand more straight
She is not full, ne spare,
But just as she shoulde hee,
An armlul for god, swcare;
And more she ioveth NEE.
Her shape hath noe defect,
Or none that can Gnde,
Such in decide yod might expect.
From So well fornede minde.
Her skin not blackc, ne white,
But of lovolic hew,
As if created for delight;
Yet size is mortall too.
Her haire is not tolol darke,
No, nor l weene tool light;
1t is what it sholde be and markc-
Il pleaseth me outright.
Her eies nor green, nor gray,
Nor like the heavens above;
And more of them what neodes say,
But that they locke and love,
Her foote not short, ne longe,
And what may more surprise,
Though some perckancc, may think NE wrong
IT'S just the fitting size.
Her hande. yea, then, her hande.
With fingers large or fine.
1t is enough, you understand.
like it-and It's mine.
In briefe, | am content
To take her as she is,
And EoIie that she BY Heaven was sent
To make compleate my blisse.
Then ladyes, all give place
Unto my mistress faire,
For nowe you knowe SO well her grace,
You needles must all despare.

other circumstance about 'em that 'praps you

Wag-[A little disconcerted]- Your soil is
