A Boy WITH A HEART.-The other day
bit of a boy called at the side door OF good
looking farm residence and told such sor-
rowfnl story that the lady of the house was
not stingy in throwing provisions into his
basket. Happening to look into the front
yard after a few minutes, she saw the strange
boy mixed up with her three or four children
and she called out
Boy, what are You doing here?"
Feedin' these half-starved children | - hc
promptly replied.
g But those are my children p she indig-
nantly exclaimed.
"Make no difference to me-" he said, as he
broke off another piece of cake. "When
find young 'un crying for bread and ready
to swear that he hasn't tasted pie for over a
year, I'm goin to stop business and brace him
up Haven't you got clean waist which I
could put on this dirty little boy2"
She looked up and down to see ii any can
vassers for the poor heather were in sight,
and then she grabbed the broom and ran tho
sympathetic boy out of the yard.

WHAT VOICES INDICATE. are light,
quick surface voices, that involuntary seem
to utter the saying, al won't do to tie to-"
The mans words may assure you of his
strength of purpose and reliability, yet his
tone contradicts his speech.
Then there are low, Deep strong voices,
where the words seem ground out as If the
man owed humanity grudge, and meant to
pay it some day. That mans opponent may
tremble, and his friends may trust his strength
of purpose and ability to act
There is the coarse, boisterous, dctatorial
tone, invariably adopted by vulgar persons
who have not sufficient cultivation to under
stand their own insignifcalee.
There is the incredulous tone, that is full of
a covert sneer, or q secret "you can't dupe
me, sill" information.
Then there is whining, beseeching voice
that says sycophant as plainly as if it ut
tered the word. 1t cajoles and flatters you ;
it's words say, 81 loveyou adore you; you
are everything that you should be-"
Then there is the tender, musical, compass
sionate voice, that sometimes with blunt fea-
lures, but always with genuine benevolence.
If you are full of affectasion and pretense,
your voice proclaims it.
If You are full Of honest strength and pur-
poses your voice proclaims it,
II you are cold and calm, and firm and per-
sistent, or tickle and foolish and deceptive,
your voice will be equal truth-telling.
You cannot change your voice from natur-
al to an unnatural tone without its being
known that you are so doing.

of the most remarkable and at the same time

the ship as before, when it was fed caressea

" BE SURE TO BURN TINS. How many
millions of letters have had these words some-
where in them? How many receivers of the
letters ever obeyed the injunction The SEN
timent is not always expressed in the same
words. An affectionate missive found in
suicides chamber in Brooklyn few days ago
contained the passage, "Please do not let
these letters lie where any one will come
across them" In another the writer merely
said, g Please destroy this" But the mean
ing in all cases is the same. The writer al.
ways admits that he has written something
which he desires to keep from all eyes but
those of the person addressed. But with what
unanimty the receivers of such letters fail to
act according to request They are kept just
for an hour or a day, so that they may be read
again, or shown TO some particular friend who
is sworn TO secrecy, or be answered according
to the remainder of their contents, and one
reprieve leads to another, until at last they go
into the great mass OF epistolary correspond
ence which sooner or later is brought to light,
and always at a time when the writer longs
for the darkness of Egypt to engulf the lot
aud himself with them. Every one writes
silly letters sometimes. The editors Of the
correspondence of the greatest men find a
great many notes that should have been burn
ed, or, better still, have remained unwritten,
and frequently these contain the cautionary
clause BE sure to burn this; y but they still
live. In consideration of all the mischief that
silly and wicked letters have caused, In spite
of warning and beseeching clauses, why not
change the method of caution little and
have the writer burn his letters instead Of for
warding them

The Exodus TO Liberia.

New YORK, March "a Charleston
dispatch says that the programme OF the
Liberian Exodus Association is now com
pletely arranged, and the sailing ship
Aver, which IS to convey the first Install
ment of emigrants, is expected daily.
She ls already loaded with provisions,
agricultural implements, dry goods,
boots, shoes, &c, the property of persons
intending to take passage. There are
10000 shares of stock st so share, and
II is claimed that $4,000 people through
the South have invested in joint stock
association, and that over 10000 are en-
rolled to go when occasion offers. The
sailing vessel will be used as means OF
transportation until the company secures
funds enough to purchase steamship,
when regular line Is to be established
between Charleston and Monrovis for
carrying over emigrsnts and bringing
back produce.

Is THIS TEMPERANCE?
What the German Paper Reports
Hiram Young ~ Saying.
Correspondence Of the Register.
WHEELING, March 10, 1873.

WHEELING, March 10, 1873.
The following is an extract from re-
cent article in the Deutsche Zsitng OF this
city:
IAN Individual who calls himself
Hiram Young, and President OF one o:
the temperance associations here, takes
gres. pleasure OF late, as we have been
informed from various sources, IN attack
ing the German element, and says it is
re. ponsibIe for the widespread
intempersnce IN this country.
He SAYS the Germans are
the Lowest class of emigIsnts that come
to this country being ignorant and nine
out of ten Of them have given way to
intempersuce. Their intellect goes tsr
enough to tap keg of beer and drink
one glass after another until the keg Is
empty. They are fool; and do not know
snv better. Tney have learned this i'm.
moderate drinking in Germsuy ard they
continue 1t in this country until they
ruin themselves and their families" &c.
The shove is 8 fair sample OF the much
talked OF charity toward sll and malice
toward none doctrine Of some OF the
temperance speakers. 1t is hardly neces-
.ary 10 comment on 1t Tor every Int III
gent citizen knows this speech emansted
from malicious feeling toward the
German people, who have never directly
or indirectly been o!her than friends TO
the real and honest doctrines Of temper
snce.
We hope NJ. Young will explsia hi;
purpose in uttering these words.
