You hat, fair lady, to the cries of want,
Your bounty lightens oft the load OF sorrow
Nor turn you from the humble suppIieant'

However eheerfully you might bestow it,
The timid poor, shrink to their freezing cot;
Would you know sorrows enter there and

Wants trembling captive. sensitive, though

Rccoils from observation which might free it,
Yon cherries walls his poverty conceals.
And you must even enter there, to see it.
Down-crushed, and fearing the worlds dread
reproof.

Their wsnt is only whispered meath their roof,
Come nearer, lady,-or you will not hear it..

The Cent and the Eagle.

Simon Holdfast was not liberal minded
man. There was no danger OF his running
himself by extensive charities Still, when
ever there was collection taken up at church
or at public meeting, he always took care to
give something.

said. 'and there was no need of letting the
public know how much you gave lie hated
ostentaton for his part.
He always put cent in his pocket on such
an occasion. People might think from the
rafting that it was gold, or at least silver
Mr.. Holdfast was about to attend an evening
meeting for a charitable purpose. He ac-
cordingly deposited in his vest-pocket, as he
supposed, the usual liberal sum.
This he deposited in the box with an air of
conscious hberaIity lighting up his face.
When he reached home, he had occasion to
open his pocket-book, when to his consterna-
ton he discerned cent carefully laid away
in recess. The eagle ,Cds no,ohere to be

Good heavens !! exclaimed Simon, I've
gone and given away ten dollars to that cursed
charity-an amount which, properly laid out,
would have served for thousand occasio ms of

Simon sat down quite overcome, but it
couldn't be helped. AS an Offset to this ex-
travagance, he has decided to reduce the wag-

been said to be place for those who have not
succeeded upon earth; and it is surely true
that celestial graces do not best thrive and
bloom in the hot blaze Of worldly prosperity.
nl-success sometimes arises from superabun-
dance of qualities in themselves good-from
conscience too sensitive, taste too tastidlous,
a self-forgetfulness too romantic, modesty
too retiring. will not go so far as to say,

roes without the laurel, and conquerors with
out the triumph. George S. HiHdrd.

A MAP OF Busy LIFE.-THE FIVE DAUGH-

of whom he brought up to some useful and
respectable occupation in life. These daugh-
tiers married, one after the other, with the
consent of their father. The first married a
gentleman by the name of Poor the second,
Mr.. Little; the third, Mr.. Short; the
fourth, Mr.. Brown; and the fifth, a Mr..
Hogg. At the wedding of the latter, her
sisters, with their husbands were present
After the ceremonies Of the wedding were
over, the old gentleman said to his guests -

The gObbler lowed il was none of his business

didn't want TO make no disturbance, and he
hoped the turkeys wouldn't obIige him 10 ring

The turkey sed he was wilen to do what was
right, and that he had never done nuthin else !;

to interfere with his concerns.

CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE EAST.
Hon. Mr.. Layard, the discoverer of the won
derful ruins Of Nineveh, and who not long
since was connected with the British Embassy
at Constantinople, recently stated that among
the prominet causes of the conduct of Russia,
was the spread of the Protestant faith among
the christians of the East. He said that main
ly through the teaching and influence OF
American missionaries, there was scarcely a
considerable town in Turkey where there was
not the nucleus Of Protestant community
The new converts were subjected to trials and
prosecutions from the heads of the churches to
which they originally belonged, until through
the efforts of the British minister, they were
recognized by the Porte as one Of the religious
sects of the empire. The spirit of religious
enquiry has extended TO the Greeks, but the
Greek clergy, backed by the Russian mission,
have done all in their power to check the
movement.

Shark Charmers.

No sum Of money, however large, no temp
tation held out sufficiently strong, would in
duce the divers of the Pearl fishery of CeyIon
to descend into the ocean, unless two shark
charmers were present, who, as they believe,
by means Of their charms and potent spells,
can prevent the 6nny monsters of the deep
from injuring the pearl-seekers. One Of these
impost ers goes out in the pilots boat, and re-
maius at the head Of it, muttering prescribed
form Of incarnation as each man descends to
brave the perils Of the vastly deep. The other
shark-charmer remains on shore, where he is
shut up in room in state of nudity till the
boat returns with their divers. A large brazen
bowl is left with him, filled with water, in
which are placed two silver fishes, and il is af-
irmed that the moment shark appears in the
vicinity Of the divers, these fishes. agitaie the
water, and if an accident is about TO happen,
one fish will bite the other. When he per-
ceives such indications, the charmer immedi-
ateiy binds the shark with potent SPELL and
thus compels the creature TO abstain from in
juring the divers. These shark-charmers reap
an abundant harvest during the fishery, as the
natives believe that unless they are literally
remuperated. they will exert their powerful
spells to make the sharks injure them, instead
Of compelling the monsters to remain quiet I'M
Ill the pearl fishery is over. Il is rather sin
gular that, although sharks are frequently seen
BY the divers, an accident seldom happens, and
numberless fisheries have taken place without
a single accident occurring.

Then rue the thing when past
How dismal was my first cigar

What boots it now to say,
In mourning would wear the ,oeed,
In smoke 1 cast away.
All now describe my careless case
When 1 to puff began,
As if the weed was full enough
To make me quite a man.
To make me quite man, although
l was but four feet high,
Had just dropped off my petticoats.
And scarcely ceased to cry.
The change not small for that is scarce,
But current change it was
And down laid upon bank,
Deposit midst the grass.

Its food the printers sheet;

To turn me inside out.

CosT OF PREACHING Some people talk
great deal about ministers, and the cost of
Keeping them, paying their house rent, table
expenses, and other items of salary. Did such
persons ever think that it costs thrty-fve
'''i,Ons OF dollars to pay the salaries of Ameri-
Cd" lawyers; that twelve millions of dollars
"iG paiu out annually to keep our criminals,
ana mllllons Of dollars to keep the dogs
in the midst Of us alive; while onlv six mil
lions OF dollars are spent annually to sustain
six thousand ministers in the United States /,
These are facts, and statistics will show ther,
to be facts. No one thing exerts such Almighty
influence in keeping this mighty republic from
falling topieces, as the Bible and its ministers.
