who are secretly vexed on account of the
charity they have to bestow, and the self
denial they have to use. If instead Of
the smooth prayers which they do prey,
they would speak out the things which
they really feel, they would say, when they
go home at night, 80 Lord, I met poor
wretch of yours to-day, a miserable, un-
washed brat, and gave him a sixpencc,

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.-Re

An AFFECTING INCIDENT.-Recently
a small lad not apparently over ten years of
age, knocked at the Office door of the Jail, and
asked permission of Mr.. Mclean to visit his
father who was confined within. His form
was slight and fragile, and but lily defended
from the cold by few scanty rags. Poverty
was depicted in every feature-his cheeks hol-
low and wan, as if the very hues Of life had
torsaken them. The request was acceded, and
passing through the outer entrance he paused
before the ponderous grated door within, and
extending his hand through the opening be-
tween the iron bars, addressed one of the mot
ley group shut up within as "Father." The
lad deeply felt for the parents disgrace, and
casting his eyes downward remained for q
length of time fixed and as immovabe as q
Statue-and only aroused by him within ask
ing, in Il gruf voice, = What do you want I? "
Starting up, but still holding on to the hand,
the lad said in sweet but almost heart broken
accent Father, Mothers dead" The words
acted like a Charm-the criminal was sudden
ly transformed to loving husband and father
his head sank upon his bosom, and he realized
in a moment his degraded situation. Tears
thick and tast-thc first, perhaps, for many q
year-fowed down his cheek, and turning
about motioued his boy away. SorrowfuIl,-
the lad left the jail to wander back, to keep
alone through the night weary vigil by the
side Of his mothers Cincinnati paye~

Come to my bedside, mother:
List there's an angel band
Singing, in low sweet voices,
Songs of the peaceful land.
List to their soft notes signing
Lulling ue to my sleep
FAREWELL but repeat it softly,
Else might the singers weep.
Grief might silence their tones so sweet
And the song is so Wepart to meet!
The waves were singing on the shore
We heard nothing nothing more,
Pass your hand over my brow,
Cold fingers press my eyes;
The light is fading slowly
From the summer skies;
The tender flowers are trembling,
Cold winds begin to moan
Der that pathway dreary
Where ! must walk alone!
Alone, upon the pathway wide,
And Won are not by Ida's side.
We see no path-tis warm and mild
No fingers press your eyes, my child.
Mother, their songs again hear,
Like echoes softly sounding!
Come with me to that radiant light
Ger the cold and storm abounding.

Seems opening to my view
And beautiful. white winged angels,
