The Goodness of God.

The Almighty has acted with the
souls of men as he has with the differ
ent countries of the earth. He might
have given fruits of all kinds to every
land but if every land did not require
the fruits of another, there would be
no fellowship maintained with the 9TH
ers. Hence it comes to pass, that to
one he has given a superiuity of wine,
to another cattle, to another OF the
fruits of the field, so that, since one is
given what the other has not, and the
latter supplies what the former wants
the separated lands are united by 9
communication of gifts. And, like diff
ferent countries, the souls of saints are
releated to one another, by reciprocal.
communicating what has been impart
ed to them as different countries share
with one another their respective pro
ductions, they are all united togethel
in one love.

Winter Shoes.

Like the gnarled oak that withstood
the storms and thuederbolts of eentu-
ries, man himself begins to die at the
extremities. Keep the feet dry and
warm, and we may snap our fingers in
joyous triumph at disease and the doe
tors. Put on two pair of thick wooden
stockings (but keep this to yonrself;) J
GO to some honest son of ST. Crispen,
and have Your measure taken for a stout
pair of winter boots or shoes; shoes
are better for ordinary, every days use,
as they allow the ready escape of the
odors, while they strengthen the ank-
les, accustoming them to depend on
themselves. A very slight accident is
sufficient to cause sprained ankle to
an hab;tual boot-wearer. Besides, q

of more vigorous circulation of blood
But wear boots when you ride or trav

hemp or tow linen, which has beer

Sitting lonely, ever lonely.
Waiting, waiting for one only.
Thus count the weary moments passing by;
And the heavy evening gloom, .s,

Cross each other in the street, ttkst
And watch the faces fitting past the door;

And the hand that RAPID SO lightly,
And the face that beamed so brightly.

This poem appeared in the London Norns'
Chronicle just forty years ago. A reward Of
guineas failed to bring out its authorship, is
yet known:
Behold this ruin Twas a skull,
Once of ethereal spirit full
This narrow cell was Life's retreat,
This space was Thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spot,
What dreams of pleasure, long forgot.
Nor Hope, nor Love, nor Joy, nor Fear,
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shose the bright and busy eye;
But, start not at the dismal void
If social Love that eye employed:
If with no lawless fire it cleaned,
But through the dews of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns have sunk in Night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue.
II Falsehood's honey it disdained,
And where it could not praise, was chain'd;
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle Concord never brokel
This silent Tongue shall plead for thee
When Time unveils Eternity
Say, did these fingers delve the mine!
Or with its envied rubes shine?
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of Truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on Wealth or Fame.
Avais it, whether bare or shod,
These feet the paths of Duty trod?
If from the bowers of Ease they fed,
To seek Affliction's humble shed;
If Grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned.
And home to Virtues cot returned,
These feet with angels wings shall vie,
And tread the place of the sky.
