OUCH is the name and style of n Monthly Peri.
~ odical, the publication Of which we purpose, the
Lord willing, to commence on the first Monday in
January next. The main design Of this Journal is
for the discussion of a ubects pertaining TO Chris
tan faith and practice. Additional to this, we shall
present such articles of literary character, original
aud selected, as will have tendency to refine the
taste and elevate the sentiment of the reading pub
lic Politics also, considered as science, and as
affecting the principles of LAW and Government,
and more especially the mighty movements Of the
nations, as they work out the designs of God will
claim due and proper attention. But Politics de-
graded to the squabbes Of demasoeues and fetions,
will be utterly cschewed and repudiatcd.
As respects matters purely religious, we shall, Of
course, advocate the principles OF the Baptist COM
munity, as derived from the Scriptures, and repub-
lsh from standard and other respectable works, ar
ticles pertaining to our own Literature; but our
columns will be
Open to ali of Every Name,

claiming only the right to judge Of the suitabeness
Of all articles for insertion, aud to make such cr-
cism on them as may be deemed expca;cnt.

announcing that several gentlemen of eminent abl-
ty and attainments have kindly engaged to render

TIE POOR

The following lines were writtea several years
since by Rev, Il iward Hopper, of Sag Harbor.
The POOR God bless them, the suffering Door. 90
In tins time OF storm and cold, ..'--.. p.
When herce winds rattle tbeiT rickety door,
And enter the r tenements old.
Oh little we know Of ther want and woe,
OF their scanty table and hearth;
II wv sIey shiver and shrink while the dreary snow
Puts shroud ON the frozen Earth.
Hark voices are in the winds to night.
And they tell US dismal tale
OF the weary and worn with the hunger and blight.
And the poor mans piteous wall.
Full may shrek on their piteous bleak,
They carry about the air,
From the heart OF the strong, by want made weak
Aud manacled by despair,
There's a stifled groan, Fl ON dwelling alone.
Where fatherless children live,
And the mother hears her children groan,
But, on! .he has nothing to give.
,Iwould rend your heart, that widows CRY,
With her hollow cheek and sunken eve
Aud her hu band with the dead.
Oh! her heart will break for her ehildren;s sake.
In that house without food or fire; -
FOR not crnnlb OF their crus, will she take,
Lest her little ones siarve entire.
And dying they are in our very siyht
Or hunger and cold and sorrow:
We must take some bread TO that house to night
Or take out corpse 10 morrow.
The poor are Gods poor, and, Christian tncn.
Gods amOners are ye
Then "a ya receive, SD give AGAIN
Gods b0uA iful charity.
Let II MT said that We keen hi. bread
And hoard hts silver and gold
While We leave the sufleiing poor uufea
And peri.!ling with the cold.

mm that 1t would be fine fun to make the
dog carry him across the river. so he
tied string to the dogs collar. and ran
down with him to the waters edce
where he took off all his clothes ana
then holding hard by the dog neck and
the bit of string, he went into the water
and the dog pulled him across. After
playing about on the other side for some
time, they returned in the way tbey hal

clothes he could fine nothing but his
shoes. The wind had blown Al, the res,

happened, and making his little m,sIc q,

bite him, he dashed into the river. and
brought out first his coat, and then ali
the rest in succession. Charlie dressed
and went home in his wet clothes, and
told his mother what fun he and the dog
had had. his mother told him that he
did very wrong in going across the river
as he had done, and that he should thank
God for making the dog take him over
and back again safely; for if the dog
had made him let 90 in the river, he
would most likely have sunk and been
drowned. Little Charlie said, "Shall I
thank God now, mamma 2" and he knelt
down at bis mothers knee and thanked
