WIDOW BARSTOW.
. •
Witr.wl This Itat4hwind is'as keen
and cdCting as a two-edged sword, Dec
tor Philips,'.' said Deacon Qoodman, but-'
toning tighter around him his warm
overcoat, as the they turned the angle of
the street into a ;narrow lane leading to
the ifWelling of :the Widow Barstow.
"'Yes, yes, Deacari - ,cutting•ds 'Want in
the poor man's dwelling," raid the Dec
t o . r.ab3tractedly. 'To day many a poor
soul may face this bleak wind and smile,,
it is so' much mildet than'the harrowingt
ties Pait 'Wont Ci.eate on and t may ;
look cheerful when we sit before - the
glowing;' grate, until our cheeks groW
ruddy with outward and inward - comfort.'
let to - visit many 'who are
strangers to such....comfort, who seldorii
feel the genial 'influence of .11 well piled
grate, - or know an appeased appetike,
and'yet, who seern'to struggle on in t.ke .
battle of fife in true Christian meekbess,
with'n'vfdw to the soul's true' deStiny.
The widow's cottage, which we are
about= to visit, has,: I fear, been a lonely
Place to its inmates' through 'the Winter.
Pour widow Bar,tow It has been hard
work to keep body and soul together;
yet you have a treasure in Charlie,
which .will some day make a mother's
heart glad; A. fine boy—so thoughtful
and desiroOS"—
Why ? : Doctor, when did you learn
that tlie widow Barstow was sick, and
in such needy circumstances? Why
did n't you ihfcirm me;iii . yon know that
1 delight in deeds of charity ?" asked
Deacon Goodman, interrupting the Doc
tor as he rattled away in his usual hur
ried manner:
"This day week, Deacon—why did '
I not tell your Eli that would assist the
poor must not ask another hand to give
before his own is opCnerl - ,.Rd v.:ll.st
Charity could I expect from one who,
lives in comfort, within a, stone's throw
of SUfTering'and want, and never finds it
out ? No, no, Deacon, we must not wait
for another to find -subjects upon which
to bestow our charity. We must anticl
pait.the 'warns of the needy, .and we
shall alwars find enough whOse hearts
even kindness, which costs one bu'i little
willinspire with . new hope. That pov
erty which heralds itself=to the world, is
nal...always' the most pressing. 'T is
those who bear in silence, on whoM
timely favor often confers the most
benefit.'
Doctor
Persons whose honest pride would
revolt at the idea of asking alms, may,
and ,should be relieved as by an unseen
band, the giver asking no other reward
than consciousness ()flaying.: dune
but his duty ; and " • =
".But, Doctor," said • the Deacon:
again, "you roust be aware that widow
Barsto* . is . not a member of bur Church.
When there are so many poor brethren
who require our first attention, is it to be
ondereA - at tlikt : one should ti4totfnd
out all the want and suffering outside-of
the,Church ?"
- •• All men, Deacon, are brethren,
whether in or out of the Church. To:
help his poor brother is the Churchman's
duty. But true Christian sympathy
looks beyond this—and by giving to the
needy strangers to ehriit. shoiv that their
religion reaches even the . o,-in, kindness
and Alympathy. •By our fruits they
shall know us. "That's it. No preach-,

him when he gets into trou,ble in solving

must be very Cold 'to day. •
-• . -
'Meantime, ei , ihe ividOw 'was--sPeak
ing; the Deacon was takirig r ii•Slirvei . of
the, room and - ifs inmates.. Everything
bespoke extreme indigence; •yet alt gab
arranged with much order and :gold
taste: . On 'tt chair bythe-side - of-the - bed
sat a boy some twelve-or- ` thirteen :years
of ago, holding a half-o - p4ned book in
his hand, whieli, he, was evidently; reatl,
ing tvheri they entered. Hiseyes;Whic'h
were large - and lustrous, were fixed upon
the countenance of the Doctor, as try:
ing to. rend iii its expression the true
condition 'of his poor sick ru otker; :for
thoughois his mother expressed it,,he
had said shewas getting 'well,--yet his
anxious looks'betrayed Ttis feat's that his
opiOic't,lni,ghtbe a folic rle. after all.
There was that = about , the boy that
riveted the vie of the Deacon for. some
'upon his features—so AtiuCh
intelligence and quiet 'resignation, and it .
kind . of :spiritual fervor pervading :every,
lineament, rendering his, countenance a
study for the observer. *From the boy
his' attention Vat directed t'o' a' small
bocikcase resting uPon'a, shelf againstihe
wall. The doors ,:were open, and the
books arranged . .in perfect - order. He
read the - title upon the -backs'Of several.
First 'Wai a'Bible;beiclreningh , its well
worn -covers, constant use. Then: there
%vas Shakspeare, Paradige Lost, Dick's
Works, Captain Cook'S Voyages, two . or
three' Histories, and lastly, of all, his
eyes rested upon Don QUllbte beside a
volume of the Pilgrim's Progress.-,
With a sigh 'he'turned his - eYes away,
fc4. he 'considered . .it ps - almost Sinful to
look upon a, hook; whiCh his ideas of
Christianity- taught him should never,
find its way into a family circle.; and
how could the-Widow alloW her'bciy
have access to such a book'l

of recognition, end then seemed - I(ii A.
