THE SWEETNESS OF HoME.-He who
has no home has not the pleasures Of life /;
he feels not the thousand endearments that
cluster round ,ha, hallowel spot to fill the
void of his aching breast, and while away
his leisure moments in the sweetest os
life's joys. Is misfortune your lot? You
will FIND a friendly welcome from hearts
beating true to your own. The chossn
partner Of your toll has smile of appro-
baticn when others have deserted, a hand
to help when all others refuse, and heart
to feel your sorrows as her own. Per-
haps a smiling cherub, with pra,tling glee
and joyous laugh. will drive all sorrow
from careworn brow, and enclose 1t in
the wrea,hs of domestic bliss.
No matter how humble the home may
be, how destitute its stores, or how poor
Iy its inmates are clad; if true hearts
dwell there, it is yet home-a cheerful,
prudent wife, obcdient and affectionate
children, will give their possessor more
real joy than bags Of gold and windy
honor.
The home Of a temperate, industrious,
honest man, will be his greatest joy. He
comes to it "weary and worn," but the
sound of the merry laugh and voice of
children. cheer him; plain but healthy
meal awaits him. Envy, ambition and
strife have no place there; and, with a
clear conscience, he lays his weary limbs
down to rest in the bosom Of his family,
and under the protecting care Of the poor
mans friend and help.

WHAT KINDNESS MAr Do.-We were
told by Mr. Ayres, Superintendent Of the
county Asylum for The Poor, tha, wasn he
first took charge of il he found an insane
man who had been loaded with heavy
chains for years. Believing that this
cruelty kept the man insane, he took the
responsibility of taking them off, and gra-
duatly restoring him 10 liberty. The man
al first raved, expecting only fresh torture;
then he doubted. and finally realized that
he was free. He was ut first overpower-
ed with delight, exclaiming constantly n
he looked upon the outer world Of sun
shine, "Oh how beautiful" Then graii-
tude to his iiberator prevailed. Atlength
he voluntarily went TO work in the garden

Whitfield.

Few preachers possess eloquence 80
we'll adapted to an auditory, as the Rev.
George Whitfield, the able coadiutor Of
Mr. Wesley, in the foundation OF Metho-
dism. His metaphors were drawn from
sources easily understood by his hearers,
and frequently from the circumstances of
the moment. The application was gener-
ally happy, and sometimes rose TO the true
sublime; for he was man OF a warm i'm
agination, and by no means devoid of taste.
When Mr. Whitfield first went to Scot
land, he was received in Edinburgh, with
a kind Of frantic joy by large body of The
citizens. 1t so happened, that the day af-
ter his arrival, an unhappy man who had
forfeited his lifeto the offended laws Of his
country, was to be executed. Mr. Whit
field mingled in the crowd that was col.
lected on the occasion, and seemed highly
pleased with the solemnity and decorum
with which so awful scene was conduct.
ed. His appearance, however drew the
eyes Of all around him, and raised varie.
ty Of opinions as to the motives which led
him to join in the crowd. The next day
being Sunday, he preached to very large
congregation in field near the city. In
the course of the sermon he adverted to
the execution which had takenp place on the
preceding day. 'Iknow," he said, s'that
many of you will find il difficult to recon-
cile my appearance yesterday with my
character. Many Of you, know win say
that my moments would have been better
employed in praying for the unhappy man,
than in attending him to the fatal tree; and
that perhaps curiosity was the only cause
that converted me into spectator on that
OCCASION; but those who ascribe that un-
| charitable motive 10 me, are under mis-
take. went as an observer of human
nature, and to see the effect that such an
example would have on those who wit
messed it, watched the conduct Of al.
most every one present on that awful oc-
casion, and l was higly pleased with their
demeanor, which has given me very "a
vorable opinion Of the Scottish nation.-
Your sympathy was visible on your coun.
tenances and reflected the goodness of your
hearts. particularly when the moment ar
rived that your unfortunate fellow. .crea.
,nre was to close he eyes on this world
Tor ever, then you all as if moved by one
impulse, turned your heads aside, and
wept. Those tears were precious, and
will be held in remembrance. How diff.
ferent was it when the Savior of mankind
was extended on the cross! The Jews
instead Of sympathising in his sorrows
triumphed in them. They revi'ed him
with bitter expressions, with words ever
more bitter than the gall and vinegar
which they handed him to drink. Not ont
of all that witnessed his pains, turned hi!
head aside, even insthe last pang. Yes
there was one, that glorious luminary
pointing to the sun yelled his brightness
and travelled on his course in tenrold night
