BY HENRY WARD BEECHER.

Mr.. BONNER, how long is it since you
had sled Did you ever have one? Per
haps you were brought up where there
was no snow. If so pity you. No one
can be a perfect man, rounded out into n
perfection on every side, who has not had
chilblains, been rubbed, snow-balled, and
who has not been upset on an icy hill and
rolled over, sled and boy, in apromiscuous
heap. You may put on all your armor,
and make believe that you are as good as
another, but if you never slid down hill,
you shall not be elected honorary mem
Der of the Hyperborean Boys Sled Club,
Blessed be New Bedford What now?
YOU will ask. Moved with sympathy
for the welfare of the boys, once upon a
time the aldermen set apart a hill street
in that beautiful and, ever since, blessed
city, for the especial use of sleds They
devoted it to all boys and girls under sew
enty years of age. One street there was
where sleds were not obliged to keep out
of the way of wagons and horses and
policemen, and angry old gentlemen, who
had been tripped up, or sent flying ovei
the boys heads. Nay, night after night,
snow was carted upon the bare spots, ol
water sprinkled when it would form ice
Was not this an enlightened view of an
alderman's dutyg Ought not every boy
to vote, when he grows up, for such wise
counselors? May the winter fall lightly
on their heads, and the summer sing
sweetly over their graves, while nodding
flowers beat time
We have Just had sent to us from Penn
syNania new sled, and, as sure as you
| live its name was, in large letters, DeX
ter. But, fine in every other respect, i
has one original feature worthy of note
An iron rudder is ingeniously fastened
between the runners in front, with hand
| cords attached in such a way that tht
boy can steer with it or use it as brake
| In this way one may mount his feet upol
the sled and sit as free as a king, guiding
his sled as easily rs all kings are know
to guide their kingdoms
Perhaps no improvement will ever en-
able a sled TO give more pleasure thai
the rude old rattletraps that country boy
knock up for themselves. This was tn
primitive form Of our recollection twl

Be Kind to the Poor.

AYE, be kind to them Ye who have
never felt the bitter pangs of gnawing
hunger, who have never passed through
dreaiy winter with chattering teeth and
limbs palsied with cold, who have never
prayed for the sweet forgetfulnRss of
sleep, to shut out for brief season the
frost whose icy breath struck chill to your
heart, and who have never fallen prey
to the canker worm Of grief and misery,
which all these suilerings entail we pray
you, be kind to the poor
Be kind to the poor. Yes, for the
blessing of prosperity which Heaven has
shOwered upon you, will yield you no
true happiness if others are starving.
Heaven has placed you upon earth, and
has exposed you to like chances of want
and wretchedness. In Pharisaical spirit,
then, thank not God "that you are not
as other men," but rather with the Publi-
can sue humbly for mercy, and enhance
the efficacy of prayer by charity and
kindness. A satisfied conscience sheds a
peace and comfort through the heart and
soul, without which the immortal spirit
cannot be satisfied. Follow not then
after the selfishness of the world around
you, unless, like Dives, thou wOuldst here
after reap thy fate, and view from amidst
thy torment the poor man in Abraham's
bosom.
Be kind to the poor. And well thou
mayst How many gradations of suffer
ing and want must that heart endure,
which, lacking life's necessities and mans
friendly hand, lies down to die with a
prayer for that mercy of Heaven which
earth denies, And though faint be the
voice of supplication, and weak the heart
which lifts itself to God, yet will it pre-
vail with the Omniscient, and be register
ed above as testimony against thee.
Be kind to the poor. Earth has more
sorrow than her heart can contain, more
of suffering than frail nature can bear,
The widow left to toll and struggle alone
amidst the desolstion of bereavement, APP
peals in tones more eloquent than words
for your sympathies and aid, The help.
less orphan brought into the world and
left alone by the relentless hand of death,
claims your guardianship and protection,
| And as you expect continuance of the
mercies and blessing of Heaven, so in this
wise be merciful to others; then shall the
gates of plenty and honor be open to thee
and the pillow of peace kiss thy cheek
