WHAT IS NOT CHARIrY.-Under this head
writer says: sit is not charity to give
penny to the streetmendicant, Of whom moth.
ing is known, while we haggle with poor
man out Of employment for miserable dime.
1t is not charity to beat down seamstress to
starvation price; to let her sit in her wet
clothes all day; to deduct from her pitiful
remuneration if the storm delays her prompt
arrival. 1t is not charity to take poor rela.
tive into your family and make her q slave to
all your whims and taunther continually with
her dependent condition. It is not charity to
turn poor man who is out of work into the
streets with his family because he cannot pay
his rent. 1t is not charity to give with SUI
peroilious air and patronage, as if God had
made you, the rich man, of different blood
from the shivering recipient, whose only
crime is that he is poor. Il is not charity to
be an extortioner-not though you bestov
your aims by thousands.

READ AN Hour DAY.-There are many
boys who will, we trust, be benefited by
reading the following anecdote "There
was lad who, at fourteen, was apprenticed
to soap boiler. One of his resolutions was
to read an hour day, or at least at that
rate, and he had an old silver watch, left
him by an uncle, which he timed his reading
by. He stayed seven years with his master,
and said when he was twenty.one he knew
as much as the young squire did. Now, let
US see how much time he had to read in
seven years, at the rate of an hour each day.
1t would be 1855 hours, which, at the rate
Of eight reading hours per day, would be
equal to three hundred and ten days equal
to forty five weeks equal to twelve months !;
nearly years reading. That time spent in
treasuring up useful knowledge would pile
up very large store. am sure it is worth
trying for. Try what you can. Begin now.
In after years you will look back upon the
task as the most pleasant and profitable you
ever performed.

LIFE is made up Of sunshine and shadow.
We have it SO in our daily experiences. We
saw it illustrated yesterday. On our streets
We met poor female, widow, with family
OF little ones around her, who were making
their way from Indiana to the home of q
married daughter in one of the interior
counties Of our State. She left Indiana with
barely money enough to supply her wants till
she got to the end of her journey. The little
party had bern out some time when they
we're 30 unfortunate ~ to lose one Of their
horses, and in order to continue their journey
another animal had to be purchased, which
took all their money, leaving them miles
from friends with nothing to procure the food
which they actually required. There was,
consequently, no other alternative than to
throw themselves upon the benevolence of
the people and ask aims along their route:
