An Honest Boy.

"You have dropped your pocket-book. sir ~
said boy to Mr.. Reid, as he walked along the
sidewalk of the park.
Mr.. Reid turned around II have. indeed.
my boy! l suppose it fell when pulled my
handkerchief just now"
Yes, sir" said the boy
you are an honest boy" said Mr.. Reid !:
what shall give you for your honestly.
Il do not want to be paid for being honest"
said the boy; but would like to-
"What?" said Mr.. Reid, seeing he hesitated.
Il should like TO please God and my moth
err"
"You have pleased BOTH" said the gentle
man; and me too"
And then Mr. Reid inquired where he lived:
and. having learned, he visited his mother He
found that Samuel, flor that was his name)
went to a Sabbath school that he sometimes
visited. He kept watch Of the boy, intending,
when he got old enough, to get him good sit
uation. And then he began to think that
Samuel was an honest boy before he found his
pocket-book, although he did not know it. and
that there were great many other good boys
that ought to have little help forward, as
well as Samuel. And so Samuel's honesty
was the means Of a great deal of good being
done by Mr.. Reid. Honesty is generally re-
warded in this world, and is always pleasing in
the sight of God.

HEREDITARY CHARAcTER.-Peculiar fam
lily traits may be traced through many genera
lions. The Claudian family of Rome is con-
spicuous instance, which for many centuries
was the most naughty and aristocratic of the
Patricians, and finally become the tyrants of
Rome. From Appius Claudius, the Decemvir,
10 the monster, Caligula, the same imperious
temper seemed to pcrvade the race, or, at all
events. to be often reproduced in individual
members of the family. The Catos were, dur
ing several generations, equally remarkable for
severity of rectitude, from Cato, the Censor to
his great-grandson of the same name who kill
cd himself at Utica, and Marcus Brutus, the
nephew of the latter. The Guises of France
were, during at least three generations. alike
in their imposing stature, seductive manners
and facetious dispositions. The same traits
descended through Mary of Guise to the cee-
brated Mary Stuart. The Stuart family of
Scotland are known, historically, as having dis
played singular olstinacy or happiness to
yield to changing circumstances, and thereby
suffer great misfortune. Qneen Mary lost her
throne and life; her grandson, Charles First.

James Second, was dethroned, and the family,

I write with great deal of pain, dear girl
I've not been able before since the fight
And my brain is still so much In whirl,
That I can tell you but little tonight.
I'm wounded don I start-'tis not very bad,
Or at least it might be worse; so / said
When thought Of YOU "Im sure she'll be glad
To know that I'm only wounded-not dead"
I've lost my left arm-there, now you know ALI
A Mimic ball shattered it, and fell
The last that heard was our captains call,
Until-the res ( too painful TO tell
I've had throughout the most excellent care,
And am doing finely, the surgeon says;
So well, indeed, that the prospect is fair
For o homeward trip before many days.
But I've something else, dear Mary to say,
And ID say it if it cost me my life;
I've thought of it well-there's no other way
You're released from your promise to be my wife.
You'll think foolish at first; then you II think
OF the loose, armless coat-sleeve at my side;
And your proud and sensitive heart viii shrink
From the thought of being cripples bride.
IT'S bitter struggle to give you up,
For I've loved you more than ever of late;
But down to its drcgs have drained the cup,
And I'm calm, though my heart is desolate
I'm coming home, and of course we must meet;
NV darling this once, one boon implore-
Let us still be fricnds-for that will be sweet,
Since now, alas we can be nothing more.
SWEET HOME April :.

Too brave and too noble. know, for me
But you've too little faith in me by far
If you believe that want to be free.

If you could but know how I've longed to go
And watch by your side, you'd doubt me no more.
