ACTS OF KINDNESS.

Kindness makes sunshine wherever IL
goes--it finds il way into the hidde
treasures Of the heart, and brings forth
treasures Of gold; harshness. on me con /.
trary, seals them forever. What does
kindness do at homel II makes the
mothers lullaby sweeter than the SON o.
the lark. the care.laden brows of the
father and the man of business less severe
ia their expression, aud the children Jos.
Gus without being riotous. Abroad, il
assists the fallen, encourages the yirtuous,
and looks with true charity on the ex-
tremeiv unforIunste-those in the broad
way. who perhaps had never beer taught
that the marrow path was the best, or had
turned from il at the solicitation of
temptation. Kindness is the real law of
life, the link that connects earth with
heaven, the true philosophers stone, for
all il touches IL turns to virgin gold-the
true gold. wherewith we purchase cvn-
peace. and love.--[ Godey's
