Ito Charity of Kind Words, of Midgmcnt and' Condcmnaaion. "I gave the pour devil a dollar, and bade him go about his business." But how did you give it? Grudg ingly, or as if it was a pleasant duty? Was there any heart in it? Or was the coin flung at him with an emphasis that said plainer tlian word.,—" Yon . nriv be needy, or you may not; here's a dollar to get rid of you—cheap at that!'' If the latter be true, good sir, von only wounded the sensitive heart v,l poverty and misfortune more deeply. liread bought with that dol lar would prove dike the heart of the fabled D. ad Sea . hpple upon the townie of the cater. -There is little comfort• in eating a morsel given even with the sharpened grudgingly, appetite of famine.

Cu , tom must efii•c•t tlair removal if they be removed. When men and women learn their duty, and do - it, half of the criminal laws that now lumber the statute hooks of Christendom, will becomt; useless ; for one great cause of crime and immorality, lies in the world's habitual uncharitableness in judgment aud condemnation. Look at it. if a young man from false education or ftom weakness in the bewilderment of a moment of temptation, chances to make a. mis- step, What is the world's action? Oh, down with the shameless villain ! Kick him out of society ---out of decent society, beyond the influence of =good example! But what is his crime'? It may have - been bad luck, or ba d management in busines, so that bank ruptcy was inevitable. Or, it may be that lliam in an miguarded moment, wrested the reins of judgment from the hands of Beason. Or, he May have fallen for one short hour,tempted by the devil el the gaining table. No matter, says the worid, down with him! Ile will pid:ute the hearts of our children, and seduce them from the path of virtue! This is all wrong—cruelly One misdeed cannot 'mar the beauty of a good character b;yend ibrgive [less and restoration. Thousands of yeung men have been driven by such: uncharitable condemnation to strike out in the most daring recklessness of conduct. The drunkard's grave has swallewed up its thousands and tens eltheusiinds, because of the world's harsh jedinent. How deep is . the wrung! A mild reproof, a kind word fitly spoken, a friendly hand extended to the ening man in the dark . hour of awAieg reasen. when the tear of re pentance steals - down his chet:lt—these things' would re-cue thensands from crime and ruin, and render theta bene factor; of their fellow men, rather than hater': and contemners. When the world shall substitute kind words and gentle reproof for its harsh judgin.vnts, it will have made a lung stri a. the prevention of clime and iatnoraitty. But now, we to the weelun who is dragged beliire its ti ibunal. the victim of villainy and deceit.
