In passing along the road we saw group

Who is he e
Nothing but laborer.
Nothing but laborcr! A poor wife,
sick and weary, watching every passer OH
the street, strains her ear to catch every foot
fall, and hopes in vain that each one will
prove to be the sunshine of her care worn and
hard-working life.
Nothing but laborer, II but little children
cluster round their mothers knee, and ask 1t
disappointed tones, Why don't father
come g
Nothing but laborcr, but the baby

at each foot fall, growing, Papa papa =
Nothing but laborcr, but as the night
falls dark those with anXions faces clasptt
hands, and suspended breath, eagerly watch
:or the coming Of HIM whose voice is forever
hushed who will never again whisper words
of love to the wife who has worn out her life
in toll for him; whose cheering tones will
ncveimorc soothe the troubles of the little
ones whose strong arms lie, still and nerve
less, never again to lift the growing babe,
who in her sweet sleep murmurs his loved
name.
Mark the agony on those faces as the mcss
scnger Of woe approaches The door. Hear the
cry of anguish the poor widow gives, and See
her fal! iainting to the floor; listen to the
childrcn's sobs, and hear the babes cry min
gle with theirs as the wall of grief wakes her
from her sleep. See the despair that falls on
all as the corpse is borne in at the door where
his coming was so anXiously looked for: and
when the widow, turning from all consolation,
calls, in heart breaking accents on the dear
loved name, and imports him to look up, to
speak once more TO her when the children,
kneeling near her, call in vain for mothers
or father care, then say if you can, Nothing
but laborel.'

cate TO conduct himself properly. The follow
ing extract is one which we would like Our
Judges and counsel to read

at Westminster, about a month ago, that it
