POVERTY A BLEssISG.-Poverty is the nurse
of manly energy and heaven-climbing thoughts.
attended by love, and faith, and hope, around
whose steps the mountain breezes blow and
from whose counenance all the virtues gather
strength Look around you upon the distin-
guished men that in every department of life
guide and control the times. and inquire what
was their origin and what was their early for
tune. Were they, as a general rule, rocked and
dandled in the lap Of wealth No; such men
emerged from the homes OF decent competence
or struggling poverty. Necessity sharpens their
faculties; and privaion and sacrifice brace their
moral nature. They learn the great art of re-
nunciaiion. and enjoy the happiness of having
few wants; they know nothing of indifference or
safety. There is not an idle fibre in their
pose into every act. The edge OF their mind is
always kept sharp; in the school of life men
like these meet softly-nurtured darings of pros
perity as iron meets the vessel of porcelain.

Rev. sts.ey s~;,. ON Preaching.

Preaching has become by-word for long
and dull conversation of any kinds; and whoev-

absence Of everything agreeable and inviting;
call it q sermon. One reason for this IS ihe bad
choice of subjects for the pulpit The clergy
are allowed about tweDty-six hours every year
for instruction of their fellow creatures; and
cannot help thinking this short time had better
be employed on practical subjects, in explaining
and enforcing that conduct which the spirit OF
Christianity requires, and which mere worldly
happiness commonly comedies to recommend,
These are the topics nearest the heart, which
makes more fit for this and better world,
and do all the good that sermons ever will do.

SHARP PRAcTIcE.-An exhorter in Metho-
dist churchin Brooklyn, during prayer meetings,
carries pack of cards in his pocket-his own
business cards-and when penitents come for
ward TO the anxious seat. he writes Scripture
text upon each oblong pasteboard, and offers
them to the convicted sinners for special con-
temptation. This kills two birds with one
one-advertises his business and comforts the
souls of the contrite; and the good brother finds
religious matters to pay extremely well. He
keeps very large crockery store and finds this
sort of advertising to be equal, as far as it ex-
tends, to any newspaper or circular. The good
brother has waxed rich through this means. and
we suggest to any enterprising sympathizers
that they might follow his example with advan-

Ballad.
BY EMMA c. EnpuRr.

The maiden sat at her busy wheel,
Her heart was light and free,
And ever in cheerful song broke forth
Her bosom's harmless glee.
Her song was in mockery Of Love,
And Oft heard her say,
1.-The gather'd rose, and the stolen heart,
Can charm but for day"
looked on the maiden's rosy cheek,
And her lip SO full and bright,
And l sighed to think that the traitor, Love,
Should conquer a heart so light,
But she thought not of future days of wo,
While she carolled in tones so gay;
The gathered rose and, stolen heart
Can charm but for day."
o, well knew wha. had dimmed her eye,
And made her cheek SO pale:
The maid had forgotten her early song,
While she listened to Loves soft tale.
1t had wasted her life away:
And the stolen heart, like the gathered rose,
Had charmed but for day.
A year passed on, and again stood
BY the humble cottage-door
The maid sat at her busy whe |,
But her look was blithe no more
The big tear stood in her downcast eye,
Ard with sighs heard her say,
"The gathered rose, and tie stolen heart,
Can charm but fo- day.

EDUeATIoS.-I have observed that most ladies
who have had what is considered as an educa-
tion. have no idea of an education progressive
through life. Having attained certain measure
OF accomplishments, knowledge, manners, &c.
they consider themselves as made up, and SO
take their staiion-they are pictures, which, be-
ing quite finished. put in frame-a
gilded one, if possible-and hung up in perman-
ence OF beauty !-permanence that is to say, till
old Time, with his rude and dirty fingers, soils
the charming colors.-Foster.
u The pleasanter the Sunday the more wo-
men go to church. You must not conclude from
this. however, that sunshine leads TO piety-not
at all. The Misses Velvets attend church on
such occasions not because they are more reli-
gious than at other times, but more inqniring-

the Brilliants," have got their winter clothes

Mrs. Farnham's lecture and was evidently al.

know they around; or else that class of young
foPs, whose legs being just the size of dipped
candles without their straightness, and encased
in pants hardly able to hold even them, they
leave because it is painful to sit with their legs
bent. We noticed this particularly last evening

How important is it, that persons should be
apprised Of the character of all who attempt TO
impose on the creduIiiy Of the public. The
practice of medicine is secret, for the patient
rarely ever knows what he is taking, and is
therefore liable to be imposed on, if the Physi-
clan TO whom be applies is not too conscientious
to attempt imposition. Where imposition has
been attempted, aud the fact made manifest, il
becomes the duty of the public press TO throni-
Gle it, and to guard the public against its perpe-
traitors. From the Sunday Times we make the
following extract:
On several occasions we have called the al
tention Of our readers TO The irretrlevable inJu-
ry they are likely to suffer at the hands OF pro-
fessional empires aud contemplate quacks, and
the incident that occurred few days ago is but
an illustration of The truth OF our statements.
The facts as cleaned from the victim. a MIR.
Welch, are as follows: He had contracted dis
ease. and was induced through the flaming ad-
vertisements Of Drs. Young and Josselyn TO ap-
ply TO them for relief. A bargain was struck
between the parties, by the terms OF which
Welch was to pay fifty dollars in advance, they
guaranteeing a For some time he was
subject 10 their treatment, during which he
found his health rapidly decaying. his strength
failing, and his disease rather worse than ever.
In this strait he felt impelled to apply 10 a regu-
lar physician, by whom he eventually
lieved; but still weak and emancipated from
former NAL practice. Considering that Dr. JOS
selyn had not fulfilled his part of the agreement,
Welch waited on him to reclaim the fifty dollars
paid in advance, when he was received in
manner adding insult to injury" Smariing
under the outrage and incensed beyond endu-
rance, he attempted TO iDhict corporeal punish
ment on his deceiver, when Mr.. Josselyn seized
his pistol and shot Welch in the neck. We
very well conceive the irrtated feelings of the
victim of quackery his health destroyed, his
strength wasted. his constitution undermined.
and his money appropriated by an ienoranus
who dares TO assume the title of Doctor, and by
SO doing pursue system of lesalzed murder of
slow degrees This calls for the peremp
tory nterposilion of the powers that be, by the
enactment of strict penal law, prohibiting the
practice of medicine, or the selling and COM
pounding of drugs by other than regular plIysi-
clans of some school. or duly authorized npolhe-
carries. So great is our horror and detestation
OF men who regardless of every moral convic-
ton, and totally untitled by education. would
trade away the health and happiness of their fel-
low creatures, that have ever strenuously
refused TO admit in our columns the advertise
ments of any but regularly authorized pracii-
TONERS in medicine and surgery. We have been
assured that the above is but one of many cases
OF like nature, all but the attempt to kill by
violence, that has occurred in this city through
the same operator.
