Nome Affection.

"To love the little platoon we be-
long to in society, is the germ of all
public affection. True, most true !
The innocent association nf clliltlhond,
the kind mother who taught us the
first accents Of prayer, and watched
with anxious face over our. slumbcrs,
tile ground on which our little feet
first trod, the pew in which we first
sat during public worship, the school
in which our first rudiments were
taught, the torn Virgil, the dog-earcd
Horace, the friends and companions
of our young days, the authors who
first told us the history of our coun-
try, the songs that frs; made oar
hearts thrub with noble and generous
emotions; the burying place Of our
fathers, the cradles of our childhood,
are surely the objects which nature
tell US TO love. Philanthropy, like
charity must begin at home. From
this center our sympaihics may extend
in an ever widening circle.

advocating the claims Of Africa to IN

missions. The following is the closing
part Of his letter:

MISCELLANEOUS.
An Incident at the Burning OF
the Henry Clay,


A passenger who was on board the
ill-fated steamboat Eenry Clay, relates
the following incident connected with
that sad disaster:
ale had been on The bow Of the ves-
sci, and was one of the first 10 escape.
Upon reaching the shore, he counted
twenty-three persons who sunk 10 rise
no more. He sickened al the. sight and
was just turning to leave the spot when
hp saw little boy only seven years Of
age emerge from the smoke and fame
on the after part oi the promenade deck,
knpel down and clasp his hands as il in
prayer. He remained in this altitude
but moment, and then leaped into the
water. Our informant watched the lit
tie fellow as he went under The wafer,
expecting TO see him again. Presently
the young hero rose to the surface,
brushed aside his auburn ringlets, and
struck out manlully for the shore, which
he reached in "a shorttime. Upon reach
ing the shore, he sat down upon the
bank, exclaiming--"Oh, these poor
people wish I could save lhen,!!' and
then burst into q flood Of tears at the
awful scene OF suffering and death be-
fore hin. What noble hrart was in
that boy, who, SO young, could not only

Origin of Bible Societies,

There iss beautiful providence se'n
in the origin of Bible Societies. With
in two-thirds Of century, the Rev.
Mr.. Charles,a Baptis, minister in Wales,
preached a, usual on the Sabbath. Ear,
iy in the week, meeting lovely little
girl of his parish, he asked her il she
could tell him what text he preached
from the last Sabbath. She replied she
could not, but wasgoing soon to a neigh
boris 10 borrow a Bible, that she might
read and remember it. "What," said
Mr.. Charles, shave you no Bible,' "No,
sir, they cost so much that we are not a.
bic to own one." This good man rehsc-
ted upon this deslilution, and felt that
his own usefulness and the happiness oi
his people must be greatly abridged by
it. Soon he went down 10 London, and
me, a number Of benevolent clergymen
and other gentlemen, who were consul
ting measures 10 send the Gospel AMONG
the nations. He spoke of the destltu-
tion Of the Holy Scriptures in his par
ish, and other parts ol Wales, and ask
ed il he could moi procure means in that
wealthy city, to buy lew copies at
least, and take home TO his needy pee-
