ARrLEss SIMpLcIrY-A certain little boy Of
this city who recently lost his father found HIM
self debarred thereby from attending school ,as for
merly, and in the iulness of his faith, he deter
mined to seek the wherewthal, at that foolstool to
which he had doubtless been taught to look for
other and higher blessings.
In the simplicity of his heart he sat down and
gravely ,rrote a letter to his REDEEMER, thinking,
perhaps, that so formal mode of preterring his
request would meet with greater attention. What
was the surprise of our worthy postmaster, VIM.
n. Friend, Esq, on discovering, among the con-
tents of his letter box one morning lately, mis-
sive directed to "JEsus CHRlsr!" Opening it,
he read the story Of the boys wants, and, with a
noble kindness which we are not selfish enough
to deprive our readers of the pleasure or profit OF
hearing. he deposited in an envelope the amount
required and directed it to the young suppllcant.
We have never heard story that in 80 short a
compass contains q more instructive and interest
ing lesson. 1t combines singularly fellcItlous
union of fine illustrations Of the great pillars If re-
ligion, Faith, Hope and Charity, and we would
MT wish to know the man who could hear this
.plain unvarnshed tale," without feeling himself
and his kind ennobled by the recital. Such man
"would botanize o'er his mothers grave. .'-Ps-

DoN'r GIVE UP.-The editor of the Albany
Evening Journal tells the following story, and
draws moral from 1t which young men should
remember A little fellow. who put on pair o
skates for the first time, paid the usual penalty
Having hurt himself somewhat by the fall which
he received his brother advised him to ''give ii
up" "No, shan't give it up" was the reply
81 can learn to skate, and will learn" And al
it he went, with an energy and determination
which bade defiance to apparent impossibilities.
In twenty years from this time, that little fellow
if he live, will have made his mark somewhere
A boy who will not ''give up'' difficult job, bu
who will do it because he feels conscious that he
can do it. has the ring of the true metal Of man

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE ACE.
THE RAINBOW.

How fair the Rainbow meets the view,
Far %livelier tints, of every hue,
Than e'er the Painters pencil drew,
Are pictured there:
And form around the Heavens blue,
An arch in air.
Vain beauties, for how soon they die;
How swift they fade along the sky;
Ere yet they strike the raptured eye,
Their charms are Ger:
Fleet as the breeze that passes by
And comes no more.
Such are the floating visions gay,
That glitter round life's opening day;
They flatter but to lead astray;
Awhile they burn
But soon, too soon, they glide away
And ne'er return.
So transient is the fairest flower,
That high in beauty's festive hour,
Nourishsd by fortunes fayorite shower
Is seen to bloom ;
So short is youths enchanting hour,
So sure its doom.
But the endowmcnts of the mind,
When beauty's powers are all resigned,
And youths fond days are left behind
Shall still remain;
And with unfading wreaths entwined,
Their charms retain.

To Miss NJ. P. r. Of Virginia.

In a far distant cline, Ihave left a sweet rose,
A blossom unfading its exquisite ray;
More lovely than morning it timidly CLOVIS,
And brighter it's blush than the rich bloom
Of May.
l fear that another enamored may view it,
And steal it away from its fond parent stem,
That in absence some fortunate lover may
Gull it,
And / sigh, when think ofthe beautiful gem.
To the shade where the fow'ret is destined
to flourish,
On the wings of affection I'll hastily fly;
For what is there sweeter than fondly to nou-
IRISH,
What is dear to thy heart, what is fair to the
eye!
Oh leave not thy bower, sweet rose, till
come,
Hope whispers thy bloom / again shall sur
vey
Ny bosom, believe me, was formed for tn,

afraid to seem ashamed ofany fashionable gay
