A poor Woman was passing bn her way homeward,.on a hot summer’s day, bear ing a very heavy burden. She was the mother of a large number of children, who were dependent upon her exertions for a support; for her husband was a drunkard. In addition to his neglect to provide for the wants of his family, he often treated them with great unkinclness. As she was making her toilsome way, frequently stopping to wipe theeteaming perspiration from her heated counte nance, Albert Harrison overtook her. Ho was in a one-horse wagon alone. He Was going on an errand for his father, and would pass by the poor woman’s dwelling. Albert felt very sorry for her. He knew that his mother thought that she was a good woman. When he came where she was standing to rest a moment, having laid on the ground the articles she was carrying, he thought he would ask her to ride. “Wouldn’t you like to ride the rest of the way ?” said he. “Thank yon,” said she, “bat I am afraid I should give you too much trou ble.” “No trouble at all,” said he. “ Place those things in behind the seat, and get in.” It was kind in Albert thus to. offer her a seat, but it would have been more kind, if he had placed the things in the wagon himself, and had then assisted her to get into the wagon. Those acts of courtesy would have cost him nothing, and would have added greatly to liis kindness. We should not only perform kind acts, but we should perform them in a kind and courteous manner. Some persons, who really mean to do kind things, destroy a great part qf their kindness, by a rough, uncourteous manner. “ Is your mother -well ?” said the poor woman to Albert, when she was com pletely seated in the wagon, and was being carried rapidly towards her home: for it must be confessed that Albert did not wish any one to see him riding with Mrs. E., and hence drove rapidly that he might part company with her the sooner. “ Mother is very well, I thank you,” Said Albert very politely. “ I do not know what I should do, if it were not for your mother.” “Mother is a kind woman.” “ She is, indeed, one of the kindest of women. I hope she Will be blessed with her children. I hope they will bo as good as she is.” Albert made no reply. After a little while she continued: ’‘Children who hare good mothers, have no excuse for not being good. I believe you are a good boy. If you had not been you would not have showed me this Kindness. I want you to be faith ful to God, as well as kind to the poor. Do you love God ?” “ I am afraid I don’t.” “ And yet God has been so kind to you —has given you such a mother!” Albert’s heart beat faster than usual, in conseqence of her remarks. He was about to accuse himself for his neglect of religion, when he saw two of his com panions coming towards him in the high way. His senous thoughts and feelings instantly left * 'fib wa» rishamed ; ‘to f>3 seen riding with Mrs. E. If there had been a road which he couhl have taken to avoid meeting them, he would have taken it. This was impossible. He must meet them. He drove on very fast, and pretended to be occupied in looking at something in the opposite di rection from the hoys. By that means he avoided meeting their eyes. Mrs. E. saw the state of tho case, and it gave her great pain. She was sorry thatshe had aceeptedhisinvitation. The fact that Albert was ashamed of being seen in her company was harder to bear than the weariness of walking un der her heavy load. When she reached her home she thank ed him for his kindness, and lie tried to give her a polite reply, hut ho did not succeed very well. Ilis feelings were of a mixed nature. He was glad he had helped a worthy woman, and yet was ashamed that he had been seen riding with her, and vexed with the hoys for meeting with him, and himself for being ashamed of a good deed'. In the afternoon, after he had return ed home, he had occasion to go. to the village. At the ’grocery, where there were generally a number of loungers, he saw the two boys who had met him in the morning. They seemed very glad to see him, and put on a show of politeness. “ I say,” said one, “ what young lady was that I Bawyouriding with this morn ing? You didn’t seem willing to have us see you, for you drove by us like a flash.” “I didn’t know you were up to that, Albert,” said a young man, who dressed pretty well and did nothing, and was therefore regarded as a gentleman. This remark turned the attention of all pre sent to Albert, “ Tell us who the young lady was, ’ ’ said the mischievous boy above mentioned. We want to know what nice company you keep.” “ You know who was with me well enough,” said Albert angrily. “No, I don’t. lam not acquainted with her. I never spoke to her in my life.” “ Who was she ?” said the gentleman with considerable interest. “I bad rather Albert would tell,” said the boy. “He knows it was Mrs. Ellis,” said Albert, giving a heavy blow against his head by way of emphasis. “ Hallo! what is that for ?” said Jack in afiected surprise; “what’s the mat ter?” “You know well enough, and if you don’t keep still, I’ll make you.” At thispointthe men interfered to pre vent further violence'. Albert went home, not at all satisfied with the events of the day. His dissatisfaction was not unreason able. He should have been dissatisfied with himself, because he was ashamed of having done a kind and noble act. Per sons-should be ashamed when they have done an unkind and mean act; hut they should not be ashamed when they have performed a kind and noble act. He should also have been dissatisfied with himself for having given way to passion, so as to perform an act of vio lence.— Family Treasure. I’LL TRY. BY REV. J. r. DURBIN, D. D. As the sun rose, on one of those sweet mornings in October which render the early autumn so delightful on the south ern shore of the beautiful Ohio, I took my leave of the home of my youth, and departed for the village of ,in the State of . I had been appointed by the Annual Conference of the M. E. Church, to preach the gospel to the inhabitants of that little town. On the evening of the third day I arrived at the place, and found a home in a very plain, but truly pious family. After the lapse of a few weeks, an unpretending, but agreeable man called on me, and said: 4 I have been raised a Friend ; and you know the Friends do not pay for the ministry. But my wife and only child are members of your church, and I go with them to public meetings, as I have not much preference and no bigotry. Your society is weak, and as I do not give money for the gospel, perhaps it 'might be some relief to the church for me to afFord you a home in my house, - if it please you to accept it.’ I replied, I would answer in a few days. Upon inquiry, I found he was the principal merchant in the village, much respected by the people, and that his wife was one of the excellent of earth. His daughter was about twelve years of age, a sweet, meek child, and much given to her books and her devotions. I con cluded to accept his invitation, and sent him word accordingly. On Monday fol lowing I removed to my new abode, which I found to be quiet and neat, and the family very agreeable. The mother, daughter and myself, worshipped to gether morning and evening; but the father made a good apology by being always at the store. Yet, on all suita ble occasions he manifested his respect for religion ; and his public conduct, as it appeared to me, was irreproachable. Towards the middle of December he was engaged in filling his ice-house, Which was in his yard, in the rear of his dwelling. He was in the sunken cham ber; directing the stowing away of the ice, | which a man slid down on a long, broad plank. A piece of the ice ptruok him on the foot, and he swore violently and profanely at the man above. As he uttered these imprecations, I looked’ in andr heard him without his seein'g; ine. 'lf I had witnessed a flash of lightning ftom a clear shy, I could not have teen .* f i Hi. JUV Jlfj J TiTT * rovrv-rfirs-jfv *» .—. —. - a --■■.—l-T. >Ji .i:.

It was Saturday afternoon. After tea, as was his custom, he came up to my room to spend an hour in conversation. The first proper occasion offered, I asked, ‘Mr. , did I not hear you swear to day ?’ ‘Perhaps you did,’ he replied, ‘for I often swear and do not know it: it is a bad habit I have fallen into, and I should be glad to quit it.’ ‘ Suppose you try,’ said I. After pausing a mo ment in reflection, he said, ‘ Well, I will.’ ‘But,’ I replied, ‘you will not succeed unless you pray for strength : the habit is too strong for you to break without di vine aid.’ ‘Why,’ said he, snjiling somewhat quizzically, ‘ I never prayed in my life hut once : if that might be called prayer when I kneeled down on one knee, when Parson W. visited my family, and requested permission to pray with us. lam sure I cannoi pray.’ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘then I am sure you can not quit swearing.--—At this he seemed surprised, and a little grieved; but, after a moment’s hurried reflection, he said ‘ If you will not tell any body, Iwiltpy and pray, and quit swearing too ; and I will come up and tell you next Saturday evening.’ ‘ Very well,’ said I. \ Next Saturday evening, after teaj he came to my room, and seated himself in silence, apparently' waiting for mej to speak to him. But I determined that he should open the subject, which he fed by raising his eyes to mine, and with a slight disturbed smile, saying, ‘ WellJ,l told you I could not pray ; I knelt down twice, and I could not utter a word: toy tongue was stiff, and my mind fainted and wavers d. I had no strength; or heart to pray. Besides,’ said he,”‘l have sworn twice since last Saturday; once when a man forced a barrel on my hand, and almost broke my finger, as you see,’ (holding up the wounded limb.) ‘ Well,’ said I, ‘ Mr. , what must be the fearful condition of the man who cannot pray to his heaver.lv Father !’ At this he seemed sensibly moved, aind after some reflection, he replied, l J'll try once more to pray , if you will riot tell any one.’ I smiled encouragingly, consented, and he left my room. On the following Saturday evening he came to me, sat down, and seemed some what embarrassed. At length he said, ‘ I told you I could not pray—l cannot.’ But the utterance of -these words gave him evident distress* and afforded me an occasion to press upon him his utter spiritual destitution, and to explain to hirri the great need of divine aid, which I insisted he could obtain only by prayer. ‘Then,’ said he with deep emotion, ‘ Til try again,’ and left the room. On the following Saturday evening he sat down hy me and said,- ‘ I have ceased to swear.’ ‘Then,’ I replied, ‘ you -have learned to pray.’ ‘ A little,’ said and tho tears ■cams into- his- eyes,' ‘ but ,0 ! how little! how feeble are my prayers! but one thing comes of them : I begin to feel I am a sinner, and I must be pardoned.’ ‘Then,’ said I, ‘you must pray always and not faint.’ Put ting his hands firmly together, and fix ing his eyes intently on the fire, he said, ‘ I’ll try again,’ and departed, Th? folibwing Saturday evening I heard him approach with a lighter and quicker step, and -entering he said with eagerness, and yet with a tone of sor row, ‘ I have been praying; yes I tried, and tears came to my relief, and words followed tears, and I can pray. But I have no answer to prayer ; no peace.’ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘you should not expect an answer until you havo asked him faith fully and penitently. Have you prayed in faith, nothing doubting?’ ‘ o,’ said he, < all I endeavored t0.,d0 was to pray. Is not this enough?’ ‘ No,’ ,1 replied, ‘you must believe as well as pray.’ Up on hearing this, I found he fell into the same desponding tone of feeling as when I first spoke to him of prayer; but I rallied him saying, ‘ Try to believe : prayer will give you confidence and con fidence will lead to faith.’ A new light seemed to break in upon him, and he exclaimed, ‘l’ll try.’ I let him- de part to make the experiment another week. At the close of the next week he came to me, and said, ‘I do believe; but only for a minute at a time, and then j doubts obtrude ; but I’ll try to overcome these, G-od'being my helper.' I now perceived that he was not far from the kingdom of heaven, and exhorted him to lay hold of the hopes set before him. 4 0 !’ said he 4 111 try’, 4 do not go: I’ll help you now;’ and we kneeled down to pray. I need not tell the reader the con clusion. In less than three months from the time I heard him swear in the ice house, he was a living member of the Church of God. Oftentimes afterwards I heard him say, 4 Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth.’ And when any one would complain that he could not pray, could not become religious, he would exclaim, 4 0, try ! From the depth of the ice-house, I began by TRY ING, in the feeblest manner possible, and lo! I have proved that the 4 bruised reed He will not break—the smoking flax he will not quench, until he send forth judgment unto victory.” Reader say to thyself—if but in the lisping accents of helpless infaucy— l’ll TRY, and God will help you.

A couple of new birds have just come to London from the very heart of Afri ca. The Queen has a consul away up the river Nile, fifteen hundred miles, where he scarcely sees a white face once a year. It is part of the world very little known, and Mr. Pethric finds some odd creatures in it. As he was out hunting one day, he fell in with a flock of these strange birds. They live among the small bulrushes which edge -the shallow rivers of that region. Of course, he wanted to get one; but they would not be caught alive, so the Arab hunters brought him some of their eggs. These he gave the hens to hatch; and the poor hens were sadly puzzled by the odd ways and ugly faces of their mon ster chickens. He hired a boy to look after and feed his pets, who delighted in playing with the boy, running after him, and rattling their immense bills in the funniest way. The upper bill, you see, looks like a fisherman’s boat, bot tom up, or, as some say, like the head of a whale. For this reason, English ornithologists—an ornithologist is one who studies birds—call it the Balccni ceps rex, certainly a very hard name to be called. It means, they say, “ the whale-headed king.” Two binds only out of five reached England alive. Both were dirty and travel-worn, hut in very good health. The youngest was 'quite overcome by the fatigues of the voyage. He sat down on his haunches, looking miserably home-sick, and-stoutly refused to be set on his legs. On their arrival, supper was soon ready. The keeper set before them a number of little fish in a basket. Rex looked at them with a knowing eye, as much as to say, “ I never saw fish like you ; but nevertheless I will taste you.” He took one step to the front, and, in ji king-like way, caught a fish in his hill. They were not according to his taste, for he shook his head and great mouth like a little boy who found it did not'taste good. Some other and larger fish were brought. Directly Rex opened his wide mouth for another swallow ; and there looked to he plenty of room for a twenty pound cod to pass without so much as Rex wincing. They are getting to feel more and more at home in the Zoologi cal gardens, or gardens of animals, as indeed how can they help it, where they have a nice little pond all to themselves, in which they bathe and splash and feed to their hear t’s content ? Child’s Papes-. THE WHITE MAN AND THE SNAKE. A white man, it is said, met a snake upon whom a large stone had fallen and covered her, so that she could not rise. The white man lifted the stone off the snake, but when ho had done so, she wanted to bite him. The white man said, “ Stop, let us both go to some wise peo ple.’’ They went to the hyena, and the white man asked him, “ Is it right that the snake should want to bite me, though I helped her, when 'she lay under a stone and could not rise?” The hyena (who thought he could get a share of the white man’s body,) said : “Ifyou were bitten what would it mat ter ? ” Then the snake wanted to bite him, hut the white man said again : Wait a-little, and let us go to other wise people, that I may hear whether this is right.” They went and met the jackal. The white mail said to the jackal: “Is it right that the Shake wants to bite me, though I lifted the stone which lay upon her ?” The jackal replied: “I do not believe that the snake could be covered by a stone and could not rise. Unless I saw with my two eyes I would not believe it. Therefore, come'let us go and see at the place where you say it happened, whether it can ho true.” They went mnd arrived at the place where it had happened. The jackal said: “ Snake, lie down and let thyself be covered.” ■ The shake did so, and the white man covered her with a stone ; hut although she exerted herlelf very much, she could not rise. Then the white man wanted to release the snake, but the jackal interfered, and said, “ Do not lift the stone. She wanted to bite you; therefore, she may rise by herself.” Then - they both went away and left the snake under the stone. —Book of Rotten tot Fables. A BATTLE THAT WAS NOT BOUGHT, Many years ago two boys differed about some trifling matter, while at play, and one of them, challenged the other to fight. The challenge was accepted, and the heroes went into an adjoining field to settle the quarrel. Jackets and caps were thrown on the ground and all was in readiness, but each appeared unwilling to strike the first blow. “ Now, then, strike me if you dare,” said the younger boy, with a look of de fiance. His companion looked at him, but did not like to strike, and at length said, “Nay, I have nothing to strike you for.” “ Well, then, said the other, who had provoked the quarrel at first, “ let us be good friends again, for .1 have nothing to strike for either.” They dressed and left the field without striking ablow, and never quarreled after. One of them now holds a very respec table position as a teacher .of youth. How few battles would be fought, ei ther among young people or old, if in imitation of these boys, the disputants would try try fo find a reason for a quar rel, before they strike a blowi; “ The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water; therefore leave off. conr.ention before it be meddled with.” —Band of Hoye Heiriew. - x & Wa No. 736 Market Street, S.

It is well known to the medical profession that IRON is the VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIFE ELEMENT of the blood. This is demedchiefly from the food we eat; but if the food is not properly digested, or if, from any eause whatever, the necessary quantity of iron ia not taken into the circulation, or becomes reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood will irritate the heart, wifi cjoh up the lungs, will stupefy, the brain, will obstruct the liver, and will send its disease-producing elements to ai! parts of the system, and every one will suffer in whatever origan may be predisposed to disease.
