APLEA FOR THE POOR.

"7Ae poor ye huve aludys wih YOU, and DAen ye
UiU ye may do them good"
The Winter winds blow, and the cold ICY
breath
OF the pitiless storm, sweepeth darkllng and
drear:
All nature is clothed with the drapery of death,
And sighs its wild dirEe, DER the grave of the
year.
How happy are they, whose superior lot
Is cast, where the comforts Of life are all
spread
Whose portion, with peace aud with plenty, is
raught
Whose forms, are well.shelter'd, well-clothed
and we'll fed
What grateful emotions should dwell in the
hearts,
What praise, in the homes, where such bless
ings are givea;
Where the smile of endearment its gladness
imparts
To the circles thus blessed with the bouutie
of Heaven!
But ah. while these comforts are cheering eur
homes,
How many,-the spectres of poverty haunt,
How many a child of adversely, roams
Or crouches, In novels OF hunger and want!
How many are pierced by the cold litter blast
With no fuel, or clothing, TO warm, or eufold.
.! who, that in such a condition, are cast
Gan stand the rude grasp OF the driven
cold,
How many are doomed by misfortune, to feel
The pressure of sickness, prIvation aud pain!
How Oft might the mission of mercy, reveal
AfiiictIons, not heard in our streets. to CON-
PLAIN!
What claims OIL our sympathy, active and
warm,
What calls on our charity. liberal, and large!
These sorrows and suferings of hfe's beating
From those whom are Saviour has left in our
Charge!
Ye, whose cup of enjoyment is flrd to the
To whom a kind Providence opens its store
U! remember the precept and pattern OF Him
Whose Mercy rewards the least gift, to the
poor! S.P.H.

Grain Hi lied Horses.

Some years ago man lived in this
vicinity who had kept livery stable both
in New York and Philadelphia, and he
owned one of the poorest grass farms you
would wish to see, but well watered. He
would buy horses in those cities from
gentlemen who kept but one horse
horses that had had good deal of work
on the road as family horses, and were
fed very highly on grain, and had been
in the city from four to six years or more,
and were what horSemen called grain
killed. He would bring them up generally
in the spring and turn them out to pasture,
aud have seen from six 10 ten horses in
a field for weeks together, where you
could not see green thing unless il was
some weed or brier that the horses would
not eat. He would keep them just alive
for eight, twelve, or more months, as the
case might be, but at least eight months,
and put them in the stable about Feb.
10Th or March LIST, having let them run in
the barnyard after snow came, but housed
from storms. He would begin feeding n
few carrots al first, and then add grain
after being ground, but never feeding
very highly, and in few weeks the
horses would look full with smooth coats
and well filed between the ribs. and in
Nav or June he would take them back TO
the city and sell them as horses just from
the countryside old owners often Suying
the horse they sold, because the horse
