A LADY PHILANTHRoPIsT.--Mr Ames was
sitting in her front room, when she saw APP
preaching Mrs. Armstrong, very public
spirited lady, who took wonderful interest in
all reforms and benevolent enterprises, espe-
cially those undertaken for people at dis
lance.
i" My dear Mrs. Ames," she commenced, |"
am the agent of a sowing circle just established,
the object of which is to provide suitable cloth
ing for the children in Patagonia. / am told
that they are in the habit of going about in o
state of nature, which you know is dreadful to
contemplate"
Perhaps they are used to it."
But that is no reason why we shouldn't
improve their condition. So we have agreed
to hold a meeting two evenings in week, with
this object in view. Will you join ?"
|" I'm afraid can't. should be obliged to
neglect my own children, as presume will be
the case with some of those who attend. Look,
for example, at that boy in the street. He has
a hole in each elbow, and his clothes are COW
cred with mud, presume his mother belongs
to some Of these benevolent associations, and
hasn't time to attend to her own children
Mrs Ames" asked her visitor, rising with
indignation, "do you mean to insult me!''
Insult you'll" was the astonished reply; of
COuroc uot. w udt HldheS you Lnlnk SO !!
!" Do you know who that boy is, of whom you
speak?"
"No don't, but should like to-"
You would Well mann, your curisosity
shall be grati6ed. He is my son-George
Washington jackson Armstrong! What have
you to say to that?"
Say? why, nothing. Only it is unfortu-
nate for the poor boy that he want Patago-
man."
Mrs. Armstrong, without reply, swept out
of the room with the majesty of queen.
She is still canvassing for the sewing circle
in behalf of the youthful Patagonians, while
George Washington Jackson is permitted to
to roam at will through the streets, on condi-
ton that he will not venture within sight of
Mrs Ames's window.
MoRAL.-Philanthropy like charity should
begin at home, though there is no occasion for
its ending there rchdage.

Locks of Hair.
You've often heard me promise, Fred,
One day to tell you where
And from what treasured heads shred

You've often heard me promise, Fred,
One day to tell you where
And from what treasured heads shred
Those treasured locks OF hair
Well, now the time has come at last;
Your birthday festival
Has blithely come and swiftly pass'd,
And you shall know them all.
Twelve years have feeted since how'd
In fearless grief my knee
Beside our dying sire, and vow'd
parents care tor thee;
And remember how you tried,
Till ev'n the menials wept,
To wake our father when he died,
And said he only slept"
This short curld lock, half dark, half gray
| cpt it from his brow;
I've kept it sacred till to-day
We will divide it now.
And when you look upon it, Fred,
Still think you hear the voice
That, with its dying accents, said,
My Father, bless my boys!'
This raven braid belonged TO one
You never knew, my brother;
She only blessed her newborn SON
And died.-our sainted mother!
She left us--but with us she left
ldlFcT, mower,
But, like plant of sun bereft,
She wither'd from that hour.
Springs buds, around our mothers tomb,
Came just in time TO wave;
We saw the flowers of autumn bloom
Upon our sisters grave.
My boy your tears are falling fast
On yonder golden trees;
II is a relic, and the last,
. Other lost loneliness.
And this long, waving, silken curl
All that you must not share;
You never knew the angel-girl
Who gave that auburn hair
My beautiful my blessed one
And she, too, pass'd away;
| sirove TO breathe, " Thy will be done"
But it was hard to say.
o! Ivy how weak and frail thing
May the hearts depths be stirrd;
How close and long will memory cling
To one slight look or word
And are not these slight looks, with more
or spirit-meaning fraught,
Than all the mystic lelier'd lore
That sages ever taught?
Well, they are happy now, dear boy;
Their ransom'd souls are free;
They feel no more earh's hallow'd joy,
And real misery.
Our barks are struggling slow 10 shore,
BY storm and tempest driven;
But they have pass'd lIfe's ocean DER,
Aud anchord safe in heaven.

To Destroy House Ants.--The best way To
get rid OF ants is to set quantity Of cracked wal

closet and places where the ants congregate
They are very fond of these, and will collect on
them in myriads. When they have collected on
them, make general auto-da fe, by turning nuts
and ants together into the fire, and then replenish
The plates with fresh nuts. Alter they have be-
come so thinned of as TO cease collecting on
plates, powder some gum camphor and put in the
holes and crevces whereupon the remainder of
them will speedily vamose

cess the gloss on new linens, shirt bosoms, &c is
produced, and in order TO crafty them, we subjoin
the following recipe:
Take two ounces of fine white gum arabic
powder-put it in pitcher, and pour on pint or
more boiling water, according 10 the degree of
strength you desire-and then, having covered il,
let 1t SET all nght-in The morning pour it carefully
from the dregs into clean bottle, cork it, and
keep il for use. A tablespoonful of gum water
stirred into pint of starch, made in the usual
manner will give to lawns, either white or printed

them after washing
