RE KIND To'THE, sTRANGER.

he kind to the stranger! in city or field,
10 his woe, or his want, thy free sympathy yield
Wait not Till thou earnest his birth or degree,
Through the Father of all, he is brother t. thee!
he kind to the stranger! oh let not his creed
The current of gentle compassion impede
The spirit of Charity mingeth all sects,
One altar OF love for the world she erects.
BE kind to The sranger that text is divine
Whi ch calls upon man, from his store to resign
Some geanngs from gathering Of grain or of gold
AS tribute to ifeavsn--repaid seven-fold
lie kind to the stranger! thy lot may be cast
Far, far from the home where thy childhood was
past!
An exile unlinked from the family-chain,
Thou mayst writhe meath the pressure of sorrow
or pain.
BE kind to the stranger! leave ,dgment to God?
Whose onnipotent hand should alone WELD the rod;
TO thyself thou'rt stranger--to none truly known
Save the Censor, whose eye DER creation is thrown.
Yelled from thee are thy lraltes by proud self es-
TEEN,
These, thy kindness to others will tend to redeem.
BE kind to the stranger! in Lies final hour,
His blessing like dew on whitening fower
Sha ! freshen the languishing hope of thy heart,
And cause thee in peace from this world to DEPART
Assured that thy spirit stranger abors,
Shall by natives of Heaven be welcomed with love!

The Man who Won the Widows Heart

In bower the widow dwelt:
At her feet-three suffers knet.
Each-adored the widow much,
Each--essayed her heart 10 tonch;
One-had wit, aud one--had gold,
And sne--was cast in beauty's mould;
Guess-which was it--won the prize,
Purse, or tongue, or handsome eyesl
First appeared the handsome man,
Proudly peeping DER her fan;
Red his lips and white his skin;
Could sucA beauty fail to winl
Then stepped forth-the man of gold,
Cash-he counted, coin he told,
Wealth-the burden Of his tale.
Gould such golden projects fall
Then the man of wit and sense
Wooed her with his eloquence;
Now, she blushed, she knew not why:
Tkan, she smil ed--to hear him speak,
Then the tear was on her cheek:
Beauty ranish! gold deparH
Wit has won the widows heart,

Tnr BLooM OF AGE.-A good woman new
&c grows olj Years may pass over her head,
but if benevoence and virtue dwell in her heart
she Is as cheerful as when the spring OF lite first
opened to her view. When we look upon a
good woman, We never think Of her age she
looks as charming as when the rose OF youth
bloomed on her cheek. That rose has not faded
yct--it will never fade In her family she Is
the life and delight. In her neighborhood she
is the friend and beneIactor. In the church. the
devolt worshipper and the exemplary Christian
Who does not respect and love the woman VINO

whose whole life has been a scene OF Kindness

repeat--sIch woman cannot grow old' ehe

virtue ; and to the close Of life she will retain
those feelings which now make life appear a
garden Of sweets ever fresh and ever pew.
