True Charity.

Night kissed the young rose, and it
bent softly to sleep. Stars shone, and
pure dewdrops hung upon its bosom, aud
watched it's sweet slumbers. Morning
came with its dancing breezes, and they
whispered to the young rose. and 1t
awoke joyous and smiling. Lightly II
danced to and fro in all the loyeliDess of
health and youthful innocence. Then
came the ardent sun-god, sweeping from
the east and he smote the yonng rose
with his scorching rays, and it tainted
Deserted and almost heart-broken, IT
dropped to the dust in its loneliness and
despair. Now the gentle breeze, which
had been gambolng over the sea, push
ing on the home bound bark, sweeping
over hill and dale-by the neat cottage
and still broOk-turning the old mill,
tanning the brow of disease, and frisking
the curls of innocent childhoOd-came
tripping along OH her er ands of mercy
and love; and when she saw the young
rose she hastened to kiss it, and tOndly
bathed it's forehead in cool, refreshing
showers, and the young rose revived, and
looked up and smiled in gratitude to the
kind breeze, but she hurried quickly
away; her generous task was performed,
vet not without reward; for she soon per-
ceived that a delicious fragrance had
been poured on her wings by the CRATE
full rose; and the kind breeze was glad in
heart and went away singing through
the trees. Thus, true charity. like the
breeze, gathers fragrance from the droop
ing flowers it refreshes, and unconscious
ly reaps reward in the performance of
it's offices of kindness, which steal on
the heart like rich perfume, to bless and
to cheer.

operation is hazardous one, and it is
not impossible that it may be followed
by sharp upward turn.
