MELANCHOLY MEErINC.

a few months since, the dingy looking
Aims House wagon ON its route 10 gather
the daily quantum of Paupers, arrived at
certain Police Station TO receive the
last lnStaIment of unfortunates, prvious
To transmitting them to the quarters pro-
Nlded for them by the Corporation. At
the arrival Of the vehicle at the Station
House, there appeared room for only one
more pauper on the crowded bench,
Ibis seat was, at length, occupied by an
elderly decrepid man, bowed almost dou-
Ole, through disease, misery and distress.
The carriage, with its melancholy cargo,
rolled along the streets towards its desEi-
nation in perfect silence, for the space of
some four or five minutes, when suddenly,
n venerable, withered little woman, seated
moodiIy, in the corner of the carriage,
turned towards the deerepid man, spoken
of above, and shouted John ! do | see
you or ghost 20
Mary, by all that's damnable !" was
the muttered, yet audible response of the
baekbowed man.
-" Yes, it is Mary" growled the little
old lady. in a shrlIl, sharp falset:o. "You
ran away four years ago. leaving me and
the two little babies to starve and die.'
"Starve and die indeed" reioned the
old sinner" when left you to seek nay
fortune, you were able to earn nearly

" Yes" groansd the poor old woman,
" but you forget the consumption and
the blood splitting that nearly killed me

you were gone. the hands of the Dispen-
aary Doctor. brought me up from a
de"ih-bed for few miserable days, which
hope, will end ere long"
"And she children--little Joe and Ellen

dIs"ectIng r"Om-cut all the flesh from
the bones Of what you used to call your
own pretty little Ely you danced her
on your knee--the doctors danced her
little skeleton in wires after cutting away
all the flesh from her bones"
A series of heart rending sobs from the
miserable father was the only reply, and
the Aims House car rolled on towards
its destination with it's human freight Of
misfortune, improvidence, poverty and
Wickedness.

A FAITHFUL GIRL.

a case Of womnn's devotion has recent.
~ been brought to our knowledge which
certainly equals anything we have ever
met with in the realms Of romance. The
circumstances occurred in this city, and
are perfectly we'll authenticated. While
the smallpox was raging here few weeks
ago, young man employed in store on
Lake street, was seized with the disease.
1t was, Of course, imp oper for him to
remain there. and the people with whom
he lived, who were distantireIativcs Of his,
refused to permit him to stay in their house.
The result was, that he was taken to the
pest-hOuse.
1t so happened that he was engaged 10
be married to an estimable and amiable
young lady. No sooner did she hear of
his condition than she termined ut once
that she would nurse him. She under
went vaccination, and then went where
they had taken her betrothed, 10 the pest
house. Here she found him alone, sick,
wretched and deserted by all the world.
And here she remained, like a minister
ing angel, waiting by his bed of pain,
soothing his distresses and attending to
his wants. lie died But how consoliHc
must have been his last moment.
Though all the world had forsaken him,
Sho whom he loved better than all the
world, remained faithful to the last Her
hand 1t was that smoothed his pillow ;
her eyes still beamed upon him with
mournfuI, but uuabated affection; into
her ear he poured his last words Of love,
of sorrow and hopes that in this world
might never be fulfilled,

What a contrast The two boys, with
substantially the same abilities had reach
ed far different points in the pursuit Of
success. The fame Of the ship builder
was spread ali over the world. Success
had crowned him in all his undertakings.
The minister was broken down, poor, aud
in despair He might have been poor in
purse, aud still successful but he was a
beggar Of all results, both spiritual and
temporal.

hollow eye, as he sped the hand of his
friend, Il can never earn such salary Ss-
that"
"Oh, yes you can cheer up"
May God ever bless you, Josephl"
The arrangement was effected immedi-
ately, and the broken down minister once
more had the courage to raise his head
and hope that he might yet redeem HE
existence from utter recklessness. His
old taste returned 10 him aftsr awhile,
and he proved to be quite an efficient aid
TO his friend, independent of his sphere
as an accountant.
The moral of our story need not be
pointed out. II a boy has taste and tit.
ness for the mechanic arts, let him be .
mechanic. MANY a good shoemaker has
been spoiled to make an indifferent, .,
useles minister.

When he puts his mind to it, he will be

if he don't make one Of the best minis
ters in the country. lose my guess.
"He will make better ship-carpentsr;
but let the boy speak, for himself. He is
old enough to understand the subject"
John did speak for himself; but his
mothers eloquence was too much for him,
and after a good deal of coaxing, he con-
sented to abandon his inclinations, and
endeavor to make minister OF himself
He was an excellent scholar, and, as his
mother had predicted. he was prepared
for college at the end of the year.
Mr.. Emerson, though he was satisfied
that his son had been unwisely influenced
in the choice of his future profession,
deemed it prudent to urge no further OBJ
lection to the plan. He was we'll off in
the world, and abundantly able to give
his son liberal education.
John was i'll at ease in view Of his fu-
ture calling. He was dispirited and gloo-
my he felt how insufficient were his
abilities to meet the requirements of the
sacred profession. Though he labored
diligently at his. studies. he felt that ho
was laboring for the purpose of pleasing
his mother, rather than to advance
Christ's Kingdom upon earth.
Technically speaking, he had expert
enced religion but it was only as an in
|dispensuble qualification for his future
duties. There was no religion in his
heart lie knew it, and his conscience re-
belled at the thought OF the denominations
to which he laid himself open by insin-
cerely entering the sacred enclOurse.
If he tried TO be religious, he realized
how unworthy were his motives he was
seeking God for the sake of making re-
spectacle appearance in his prolsssion!-
More than once he determined to aban.
don his purpose-tArow away his books
of divinity. and to the axe and auger.-
But his mothers influence was still po-
tent, and, in spite of himself, he became
minister at last.
