CHARITY.
BY MRS. l.. NJ. HUTCHINSON.

'Irue Charity" says an elegant writer,
like the sun, brightens every object on which
it shines" Charity is signally "without par
tiality AID without hypocrisy" 1t looks
upon the occupant OF palace with no envy,
and aims to do him justice, however much
illuminated by "A censorious world. 1t does
not impute to him sinister motives, nor de-
tract from his excellencies. What though
"he fares sumptuOasly every day." yet it
does not deery his merits, nor attempt to
rob him of his enjoynents. If Heaven has
favored bip with an abundant store of lites
GOOD things Charity does not wish to de-
Nv him the qualification which they afford
him. II does not view wealth as curse to
ITS possessor, nor desires that it should be,
but. that it should be blessing to him and
to others, with whom hes is connected, or
whom he may be disposed to benefit. Thus
it NAV be truly said that it "seeketh not its
own" Nor does Charity condemn the poor
or unfortunate. 1t recognizes the obvious
arrangement of Providence in the unequal
distribution of riches, and its denial of many
OF the comforts of life to many OF the chill
dren OF men 1t imputes no inefhclency OF
aware that even with the best human fore
slght, no individual can control the clrcum-
stances of his life in such manner as to IN
sure to himself prosperity or prevent adyer-
sity.
Charity is unlike stoicism or PHILOSOPHY
falsely so caied,'' for it does not deny its
sympathy to the destitute and afflicted, con-
demning them as the authors of their own
caanities, or as destitute of proper spirit
a.. H. ri = nIa ifSpIt "
its own comfortable man tie, and say to the
naked, "Suffer from the cold, since you have
neglected to provide yourself with clothing"
nor does it say to the famished, "Starve,
since, like me, you provide not for your
selves in the season of harvest" No, it en-
tiers into the dwellings of the wretched, and
without investig alton, furnishes the requi-
site food and clothing as the case demands.
And oh, how welcome is Charity as visitor
in such dn eiiings! 1t is like the glow Of the
sun as it appears in the cloudy armament or
the glittering star over the misty oceans
deep.
Nor does Charity agniiy the errors Of
the wanderer from the path of virtue, nor
forbid his return to its peaceful enjoyments.
No, no, it welcomes back the prodigal to
his former home, and rejoices over his resto-
ration to his Joyous kindred and triends.~-
Charity delights in peace and love. 1t has
no voice for strife and discori. Jarr ing
sounds are no music to its ears Indeed it
would quel all enmity and tormoil would
reconcile neighbors if at variance-friends,
il estranged husbands and wives, if neglect.
full of each other-parents and children, If
unkind and disobedient; in a word, it would
convert the arid desert into luxuriant held
- the parched meadow into ttowery lands
cape, and the witheTed leaves of the forest
into the renewed verdure OF spring.

Tarice Turned out IN one NsgM.-The
Calias (Maine) Advertiser says that Mr.
Price, of st. Stephen, was peculiarly untor-
tunate, on Tuesday evening last. He owned
the dwelling houses which stood short dis
lance from each other, one of which was oc-
cupied by himself, the other by Mr. W elch.
At about O'Clock the one he occupied
caught fire, and, Notwithstanding the strenu-
Gus exertion of the tiremen, who were
promptly on the ground, was soon heap OF
smouldering ruins. He and his family took
refuge in Welch's house, but before morning
that took fire and burned down also.
