Your idea that frogs was discoversd

CHARITY LIKE THE RREEzE.-Nighs
kissed the young rose, and it bent softly
to sleep And stars shone and pure drops
hung upon its blushing bosom; and watch.
ed its pure slumbers. Morning cams
with her dancing breezes, and they Hhis.
pered to the young rose,. and it awoke
joyous and smiling Lightly it danced to Z
and fro IN all the loveliness of health and
youthful innocence. Had gf,E.ss9s od4 :,
: Then came. the ardent sunsgod sweeps
ing from the east, and he smote the young
rose with his golden draft and it fainteds 9
Deserted and almost broken,hearted, ltit
dropped to the dust in itsloyeliness aud
despair.
Now, the gentle breeze, who had b6eti
gamboliing over the sea, pushing off :
the light bark, sweeping over hill and If
aale-by the neat cottage and the still
brook -fanning the fevered brow, Of dis :.
ease, and tossing the curl Of innocent
'hildhood-came tripping along on tho
errands OF mercy and elove;; and efondlgBo.
oathed its forehead in cool, refreshing
showers the young rose revived, looked
up and smiled, flung its ruddy arms as il -

generous deed was performedj jet not "a
without regard, for she soon perceived
that delicious fragrance had been pourz
ed on her wings by the grateful rose, and
'he kind breeze was glad in her heart =
and went away singing through the trees.
Thus true charity, like the breeze,
which gathers fragrance from the humble

reward in the performance of it's offices Of 3e
1indness and love, which steals through
he heart like a rich perfume to bless and

papers man takes, his list is incomplete s.
without his home paper. If that paper
is not just such as he would wish, he should 81
feel that himself and neighbors are re-

active sympaty, and it will instantly res
