An incident.


of his usual visits to the Police Court one morn
ing, noticed among the prisoners youth who was
poorly clad, and for some cause was weeping. The
phianthropst sat down by his side and the following
conversation ensued:
Why are you here nv son!

cense.
Are you guilty.
Yes sir
Have you been arrested before'
Yes sir; twice.
What for?
For selling newspapers.
Why do you persist in doing iti
Because | don't know what else to do to get liv-
ing.
Have you father?
No, sir; my father is dead.
is your mother living?
My mother is drunkard; she don't take any care
of me; / don't know where she is now.
As he uttered these last words, tie deep waters of
the little fellows soul burst forth afresh, and he
pressed bis grief aloud.
Where do you lodge? continued the philanthropist.
Near Union street, sir; pay ninepence night
for my lodging in advance, and buy two plates Of
beans in the course of the day, for which pay as
much more.
I walk about the streets, or go into the auction
rooms.
Why don't you sit down in the house where you
lodge, by the fire, and read?
Because the woman of the house is poor; she has
no room Tor me at her nre.
Would you like TO go into the country and work. if
place could be obtained for you!
Yes, sir; | would be glad to 60 and work for my
living. don't want TO stay III Boston; but have
nobody TO get place for me. / don't want 10 go
down TO jail again.
The philanthropist now spoke to the Judge respect
ing the prisoner. This seemed TO worry Mr.. Power

ever ready TO throw frozen water upon every thing
that does not harmonic with the dscordant music of
his soul He volunteered TO inform Mr.. Spear that il
would be of no to try TO do anything for that boys
because he had twice been sent TO Jail for the same
thing before and il did him good.
That is good and sufficient reason, was the calm
and determined reply of the philanthropSt, why he
he should not be sent there again.
After some conversation, the Judge reduced the
fine to one cent and cost, which the phianthropiSt
paid and then taking the boy by the hand, they both
left the court.
Now for the sequel Mr.. Spear took the boy 10
his own house, and supplied him food and clothing,
and obtained place for him in the country. Last
week, the day before thanksgiving, the grateful boy
for the first time into the city 10 his bene

which Mr.. Spear provided for him, and continues
still TO work there, earning nine dollars month and

Thy genial glow, returning Spring,
Comes to our shore again;
For thou hast been a wanderer long,
On many fair and foreign strand,
In balm and beauty, sun and song,
Passing from land to land.
Thou bring'st the blossoms to the bee,
To earth a robe of emerald dye.
The leafiet to the naked tree,
And rainbow in the sky;
feel thy blest benign control
The pulses Of my youth restore;
Opening the spring Of sense and soul,
To love and JOY once more.
will not people thy green bowers,
With sorrows pale and spectre band;
Or blend with thine the faded flowers
or memory's distant land;
For thou vert surely never gwen
To wake regret from pleasures gone;
But like an angel sent from Heaven,
To soothe creations groan.
Then, while the groves thy garlands Irvine.
Thy spirit breathes in flower and tree,
NY heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship God in thee:
Ane in some calm, sequestered spot,
While listening to thy choral strain.
Past griefs shall be awhile forgot,
And pleasures bloom again.
