II man has the soul Of benevolence in
him, where should he show it more than
ut home to whom should he more de-
velopc it than to the wife Of This bosom and
the 'olive plants" around his table
We never could have any fellowship
with that sort ofpiety which fails to make
home sweet and happy. 1t never could
gain our confidence. In very practical
and pertinent sense, real charity always
"begins at home" There it does its first
works, and some Of its best.
There is a sort of piety, SO called, which
promises well in the distance and has the
best name farthest from home. A worse
testimony than this for its gcnuincness need
not be sought.
God made lie family; every element
of beauty and fitness Of order and sweet
ness blending in its constitution, combined
to cvince its handy work. He made it to
be the nursery of the church-the school
ofmorals-the home ofhappincss. Let no
Christian think that his home responsible
ties are met, unless the family Of which he
forms part bears this image, and answer
these divinely conceived ends.

In the deep osken woods, when the summer Is near,
Alittle grey bird you may constantly hear.
From rasruing till eve. the branch Of . tree
Complaining, and singing, and crying perne.
A liitie black talrban he wears on his head.
And he seems like sad that meurns Tor the
dead:
+ or the notes that he utters arr g,ievens To me-
And he seems 10 be weeping. when crying pe~ee.
Ire heard thcm SO often, know very well
His notes &c some fatal calamity tell:
For birds have their troubles their gricfs and their
loves,
And tho language Of love was frs, heard in the
groves
How little, while busted with life and it, cares,
We think of the biticrs tim, fortune prepares
For the Tutoring tribes that iaiIabit the woods,
Who're fancy the dull cloud ofsorr nee brccds
f.at could we their language and notes understand
And listen the tales of their musical band.
How many sad stories of grief should we hear,
During sprins-ti and sumner ill heritage is seer
TAe;s language il melody sweet in our cars,
We hear not their SORROWS. soc not their tears;
Bet many they who from thickef and tree,
Respond to the plants Of the mourning Pewec.
