CHARrTY.--An instance of charity at the
hands of an estimable lady acquaintance,
came to our knowledge lately. She has all
winter been bestowing gifts to the poor and
needy in such quiet way that even her
most intimate friends were not aware of it.
1t is such acts that remind US of Heaven, OF
charitable deeds which rebound to the credit
Of the donor to degree that is highly salts
factory to the party who gives without stint
and from a sense of duty. How different is
the act, the impulse and the real object OF
those who parade their dongs publicly, who
seek a notoriety for benevolence through the
channel of some popular society, which give
freely to gain notoriety and fame Contrast
the difference. See the one going about
quietly, without ostentation and giving free
ly and cheerfully of that she can spare the
other cunningly weighing the chances,
seeking the spots which are public, giving
to those who will parade their benefactor as
pink of propriety and charitable to amex-
tensiye degree. GoD is the JUDGE, and by
your acts you shall be known.

JANUARY.-Th name of this month is
derived from the Latin word "Januarius, y
in honor of Janus, an ancient King Of Italy,
who was deifed after his death. Janus was
supposed to preside over the gate Of heaven,
and the month was called after him, as being
indicative of new month or era. He held
key in his hand, on which were the num-
Der 36S, the number of days in year which
he unlocked and presided over The tenn
pie in Rome erected to his memory, was
quadrangular, having one door and three
windows on each side, and was probably de-
signed to illustrate the four seasons, and
the months which composed them. 1t stood
upon the Janiculum Hill, and was always
kept open in time of war. 1t was closed
only three times during the lapse of seven
hundred years.
Our Saxon ancestors call January ''Wolf-
monat, or Wolfmonth, on account of the
famished wolves which invaded thervillages.
They also styled it "After Yala," or after
Christmas.

The SHERMAN TEsTIMoNIAL.--An effort
is being made to get up a big donation for
General SHERMAN No one will deny that
General SHERMAN has very ably discharged
the duties assigned to him, but he has sac
rifced less and received vastly more pay
than many of the humble privates in his
army Thousands of just as brave men as
the General were slain or crippled for life in
the battles for which General Sherman is
honored, and many of them have destitute
families at home. General Sherman enjoys
as much honor and notoriety as any man
needs; and he has an abundance of this
worlds goods. Whatever people haze to
give should be given to the destitute and
needy. This is true charity-it blesses the
giver and the receiver-a single act ofwhicl
will bring more joy to true heart than the
applause of the million. We would not give
one cent to buy mansions or swords for off
GERS while hundreds in our midst are desti
tute of the necessary comforts of life. Five
dollars given to Gen. Sherman may excite
the applause of enthusiasts, but five dollar
given to needy family will bring joy to al
least one household and lay up riches in
heaven.

STAMPS FOR RECEIPs. Some difference
of opinion has existed as to which party
the one giving, or the one receiving re-
ceipt--should pay for the stamp. The law
is, that when a receipt is given for money
over 500, it shall be stamped, 1t has been
recently determined that the person giving
the receipt must pay for the stamp, on the
principle that whoever receives value ofany
kind from another, is bound to give Il legal
voucher for the same, and that voucher
must have stamp upon it.
