The mother sees beauty, and the fam

Nobad man il brought to repentance
by angry words; BY bitter and scorrl-
full reproaches. He fortifics himself
against rcproof, and hnrls back foul
charges in the face Of his. accnser.-
Yet guilty and hardened as he seems,
he has a heart in his bosom and may
to tears BY gentle voice.
Whose, therefore, can restrain his dis
position to blame and find fault, and
can bring himself down to q fallen
brother, will soon find a way to better
feelings within. Pity md patience
are the two keys which unlock the hui
man heart. They. who have been
most successful laborers among the
poor and vicious, have been the most
forbearing. Said the celebrated st.
Vincent de Paul: ssIf il has pleased
God to employ the most miserable Of
men for tile conversion Of some sonls,
they have themselves confessed that
it was by the patience and sympathy
he had tortthenl. Even the convicts,
among whom | have lived can b
gained in no other way. WHEx /
HAVE KISSED THEIR CHAINS, and showed
compassion fortheir distress, and keen
sensibility for their disgrace then
have they listened to me; then have
they given glory to God, and placed
themselves ii the way Of salvation
