TUE, JEWELED TREE.
Wbr n all the trees were clad in green,
And all the birds were singing,
And bloaroins full of incense sweet
Their perfumes forth' were flinging,—
One tree, amid the joyous scene, 4
Looked sad and diabontented,
And to the gentib summer breeze s
In whispering tones lamented.
It murmured to an oriole
That on a bough was swinging
"Last eventide, In ailvery sirens,
I heard a poet Bluffing
Of trees afar, *lib jeweled fruit,
In flashing diamonds signing;
These green leases are so cemtnionplace—
For jewels I am pining ?" •
The Summer fled; the trees stood bare
Amid the wintry Weimer,
Until one night, %hen rain and frost
Came agent!! together,----
Then, when the dawn had ushered in
The rosy-Angered morning,
The tree rejo!ced at its array
In new and strange adorning.
For every twig and lough there hung
A gparkliog crystal peniant;
Tbd proud treoslitterod In the sun,
In Jewelry resplendent.
But with the tfght pere came a wind
And with the wind came 'sorrow;
And then, alas ! a piteous case
Was seen upon the morow.
For vi hen again the morning broke, '
The hapless tree presented
A sight to warn all other trees
From being disconteuted.
The ground waketrewn with glittetivg l ic:;
The etatelyftmghs lay under;
Borne downward by its weight of gems,
The tree was snapped asunder! I
HELPING THE POOR.
Im on a helping expedition," said
Mr. JonaS, as he came bustling into
the counting room of a fellow-Mer
chant named Prescott. "Ititl, as
you are -a' benevolent man, I hope to
get atleag five dollirs here in aid of
a family in extremely indigent cir r
•cumstaticks. My wits heard of them
Yesterday; and the little that was
learned, has
_strongly excited our
sympathies. -Si) lam out this n)orns
big on a_mission for,supplies. I avant
to raise enough to bay them a t9'n of
coal, a barrel of flour, a bag of pota.:,
toes, and 'a small lot of groceries',"
"Do - yon know anything of the
family for which you "propose
,this
harity ?".inquired Mr. Prescott, With
a slight coldness of manner:
"I only know that they, are in
EilA t aniq tkguA rB Lt lt Y I . n .
Jonas, quite warmly:
I will not question your infer
ence," said Mr.' Prescott. "To relieve
the wants of our suffer ng
creatures is an upgoestiouable duty.
But there is another important 'con
sideration connected with poverty
and its demur - Ma upon ns.
"What is that, pray ?" inquired
Mr. Jonas, Who felt considerably
fretted by so unexpected a damper
to his benevolent enthusiasm.
"How shall it be done," said Mr.
Prescott, calmly.
• " If a man is hungry, give .him
bread; if he is naked, clothe him,"
said Mr. Joiakg. "There is doubt
or question here. This family, I
!earn, are suffering for ail the neces
saries of life, and I can Clearly see
the duty of supplying their wants."
"Of how many does the family
'consist ?" asked Mr. Prescott.
'There is a'man, and his wife, and
three or four children."
-"Is the man sober anti industri
0118 ?
"I don't know anything abouthim.
I've had no time to make inquiries.
I only know that hunger . and (cold
are in his dwelling, or at least, were
in his dwelling yesterday."
"Then you have already furnished
relief ?"
"Temporary relief. 'I should n't
have slept last night, after what I
heard, without 'just sending them a
barrel of coal, and a basket I oft pro
visions," :
"For which I honor your kindness
of heart, Mr. Jonas. So far yoti act
ed right. But I am -by no means so
well a •sured of ,the wisdom an
i d hu
manity of your present action n the
case. The true way to help the, poor
is to put it into their power to help
them4elves. The. mere bestoWal of
alms is, in roost cases, an injury;
either encouraging idleness and vice,
or weakening self-respect and self-_
dependence. There is innate strength
fur every one; let us seek to develop
this strength in the prostrate, rather
than hold them by temporary appli•
cation of our powers, to fall again,
inevitaly, when the snstaininal hand
is removed.. This,. depend upon it,
is not true benevolence. ; Every_ one
has ability to serve the common
good, and society renders back ens
tenance for bodily life as the reward
of his service."l
"Bnt suppose a man cannot get
work," said Mr 'Jonas. "How, is, he
to serve society for the sake Of! a re-
Ward ?" r
" True charity will provide em
ployment kir him, rather than be
stow on him alms." 1
"Bet if there is no employment to
be -had, Mr. Prescott ?" '
• "You make a very extreme ease.
For all who are willing to work, in
this country, there is employment.
"I'm by no means ready to !admit
this assertion." - -
,
"Well, tre'll not deal in general
propositions; _because anything can
be assumed or denied. Let us come
direct to the case hi point, and thud,
determine oar duty toward. the fami
ly whose needs we are considering,
which will he best for them ? To help
them in the way you propose, or to
encourage them to help themselves?" ,
"All I know about them at pres
ent," replied Mr. Jonas. who wr as be
ginning to feel considerably wOrried,
"is,,that they are suffering for the
common nPeessaites of life. it is all
very well to tell man to help himjr
i
self, but if his er be paralyied, Or
if be have no key to open. the Provis-1

little, however, for us to debate the

the present case, and so must disap.;_

ter."
"G o 4 morning, then," said Mr,
Jonad, bOwing rather coldly.
" Ciona morning." pleasantly' re
sponded Mr. Prescott, as his visitor
turned and left his store.
"All a mean excuse for not giving,"
said Mr. Jonas to himself, as he
walked rather hurriedly away. "I'
don't believe much in the' benevo
lence of your men who are so partic
nlar about the whys and wherefores,
so afraid to give a dollar to a.poor,
starving Wow creature, lest the act
encourage vice or idleness."
The next nerson npon whom Mr.'
Jonas called, happened to be 'veryl
much of Mr. Prescott's way of think-1
ing; and the next chanced to know
something about the family for Whom'
he was soliciting aid.
"A lazy, vagabond set I" exclaimed
the individual,,when Mr. Jonas men-I
tioned his errand, "who would rather!
want than work. They may starve'
before I give them a shilling."
"Is this true ?" asked Mr. Jonas,
in surprise.
' Certainly it is. I've had' their',
case stated-before. In fact, went'
through sleet and rain one bitter
cold night to take them provisions,
'so stiongly had my =sympathies iu
regard to them been excited. Let'
them go to stork."
"But can the man get work ?" in
quired Mr. Jonas.
"Other poor men, who have I fami
lies -dependent on them, can get
work. Where there's a will thtlre's a
way. Downright laiiness thit dis
eagle in this case, and ti.e best cure
for which is a little wholesomii star
vation. So, take my advice; and
leave this excellent remedy to work
oat a cure."
. "Mr. q'onas went back to his
in rather a vexed state of m nd
his fine feelings of benevolen
stifled. He was angry with t
digent family, and angry with
self for being ihe "fool to
with any basine:s but his own.
"Catch me on such an. Orrand

ho inquired.
"Oh, don't ask 1110 about them !"
exclaimed Mr. Jonas. " I've' just
found them out. • They're a lazy,
vagabond. set."
"You are certain of that ?"
"Morally certain.' Mr. Caddy says
he kn l ows them like a book, and that
they'd rather want than work. With
him, I think a little wholesome star-,
valion will do them good."
Notwithstanding this rather dis
couraging testimony, Mr. Prescott;
made a memorandum of the street
and number of act, house in which'
the family lived, remarking as he did
so:
-'4 have just beard where the ser
vices of an able-bodied man are
wanted.. Perhaps Gardiner, as' you
call him, may be glad to obtain. the
situation."
'He won't work; that's the charac-'
t I have "received of him," replied
Mr. Jonas, whose mind was very
Much roused against the ma". The
pendulum of his impulses had swung
from a light touch, to the other es-'
treme.
" A dollar earned is worth two r&
ceived in charity," said Mr. Prescott;
"because the dollar earned eorres ,
ponds to service rendered, and the
man feels that it is his own—that he
has an undoubted right to
. its pos.
session. It elevates his moral char
actor, inspires self-respect, 'and in,
spires to new efforts. 'Mere alms=
giving is demoralizing for the oppo ,
site reason. It blunts the moral
feelings, lowers the self-respect, and
fosters inactivity and idleness, open
ing the way for vice to come in and
sweep away ali the foundations of
integrity. Now, true charity ,to the
poor is for us to help tbem to help
themsvlves. Since you left me a
short time ago, I have been thinking
rather hastily over the matter; and
the fact of hearing about the place
for an able-bodied man, as I just
mentioned, has led me to call around
and ,snggest your making interest
therefor 132 behalf of Gardiner,
Helji
,ing him in this way would be true
(benevolence." ,
"It's no use," replied Mr. Jonas,
in a positive tone of voice. "He's an
good-fnr-nothing fellow, and
have nothing to do with him.'
Mr. Prescott urged the matter no
farther, for he saw that' toi do rio
would be nseless. On his way home,
on leaving his store, he called to see
Gardiner. He found, in two small,
meagerly fnruished rooms, a map,
his wife and three children. Every
thing about them indicated pxtrerue
poverty; and worse than this; lack of
cleanliness and industry. The wo
man and children had a look of
health, but the man was erdently
the snbject of some wasting Idiaease.
His form Waslight, his face thin arid
I,rather pale, and his languid eyes
deeply sunken. He was v ery , tar
from being the able-bodied Man Mr.
Prescott had expected to Mid. As
the latter stepped into the room
where they were gathered, the light
of eipectation, mingled with the
shadows of mute suffering, earns into
their countenances. Mr. Prescott
was a close observer, and saw At) a
glanee, the assumed sympathy, he
fraying the face _of the mendicant in
each.

he, as be took a chair, wh chlthe wo

"Why not ?" interrupted Mr. Pres

"My health is very poor," said the
man. "I suffer much from

my aide and back,, and am weak
most of the time that I can hardly
creep about."
"That is. bad, certainly," replied
Mr. Prescott, "very bad." And as he
spoke, he turned his eyes to the wo
man's face, and then scanned the
children very closely.
"Is that boy of your, doing anY
.thing?" be inquired..
" No, sir," replied the mother."
"He's too young to be 'of any ac
count.
" He's thirteen, if my eyes do . no
deceive me."
"iTnst a little over thirteen." •
"Does belgo to school r'
'No, sir. He has no clothes fit to

" Bad --bad," said Mr. Prescott,
" very bad. . The boy might be earn•
ing two dollars a 'week ; instead of
which be is growing -up in idlencss
which surely leads to vice."
Gardiner looked slightly confused ,
at this, and his wife evidently did
not feel very comfortabh under tile
steady, observant eyes that were on
her.
"Yon seem to b© in good health,'
said Mr. Prescott, looking at the wu
man.
"Yes, sir, 'thank God I Arid if it
wasn't for that, I don't know what
we should all have done. Everything
has fallen upon me since John, here,
has been ailing."
Mr. PrEscoit glanced around the
room, and _then remarked, a little
pleasantly
" I don't see that Yon make the
beet use of yanr health and strength."
The woman understood him, for
the color came instantly to her face.
"There is no excuse for dirt an

misty, I once called to see a poor
widow, in such.a low state of health
that she bad to lie in bed nearly half

those who help themselves." To be
very plain with y on, it is clear to my
eyes, that you do not try to help
yourselves ;. such being the case, you
must not expect gratuitous help bona
God. Last evening you received
some coal and a basket of prov;sions
from a kind hearted man, who prOm
iced you tnnre efficient aid, to-day.
You have not beard 'from tam, and;
i
shat s more. will not hear from hire.
Some one to whotu he applied for a
contribution happtitted to know More
about you than he did, and broadly
pronounced you a set • of idle vaga
bonds. Just think of bearing seen
a character: He dropped the matter
at once, and you' will get nothing
more from him. I am one of those
upon whom be called. Now, if you
are . at all disposed to help yourselves,
I will try to stand your friend. If
not, I shall have nothing to do with
you. -I speak plainly ; it is better ;,
there will be less diknger of appre
hension. The eldest boy of yours
mtiPt go to work and earn something.
And your daughter can work show
the house for you very well, while
Yon go out to wash, or scrub, and
thus earn a dollar or two, or more,
every, week. There will be no dun
ger of starvation "on this income, and
you will then eat your'brea'd in inde
pendence,
Mr. Gardiner can help
some, I do not in the, least doubt."
And Mr. Prescott ' looked inquir-
ingly at the man.
" If I was only able-bodied," said
Gardiner, in a htlf reluctant' tone
and manner. '
" But an are not. Still there are
many things you can do. If by a lit
tle exertion you can earn a small sum,
of two or three dollars a week, it will
belar better—even for your healtth—
than idleness. Five dollars earned
every week by your wife, two by your
boy, and five by yourself, would make
$l2 a week • and, if I am not very
much 'mistaken, yon don't see half
that sum in a week 'lbw." •
"Indeed, sir, and you speak the
truth there," said the woman.
" Very well. It is plain then, that
work is better than idlenete."
" But ws can not get work,.' The
woman fell back on this strong asser
tion.
"L'oo't believe a word of it. I
can. tell you how .to earn a dollar, a
day for the next four or five days at,
least. Pot, yourself in the way of
useful employment and you will have
no_difficiiltv beyond." • -
" What 'kind' of work, sir.? " in
quired the woman.
" We are about moving into a new
house, and, my wife commences the
work of having it cleaned to-morrow
morning. She wants another assist
ant,. Will you come? "
The woman asked tbe number of
his residehce,and promised to accept
the offer.
"Very well. So far so good," said
Mr. Prescott cheerfully, as be arose.
"Yon shall be.' paid at The elose j of
each day's work ; -and that will give
you the pleasure of eating your own
bread—a real pleasure • you may de•
pend upon - it ; for a: leaf earned is
sweeter than the richest food bestow
ed by c»arity, and Ur- be.ter for the
health."
" Pent about the boy, sir," said
Gsrliner, whose mind was becoming
ac ire with .'inore independent
thoughts.
. "Al: in cool time," said Mr. Pres
aQtly " Jknae.waii slot bilt

Bright and, early came Mrs. Gard
iner on the nr morning . fiir tidier
in appearance than when Mr. Pres
cott saw her before. She was a stout. •
strong yOnran, and 'knew bow to
scrub and clean paint as.well as the
best. When fairly in the spirit of
work, she worked as with a sense of
pleasure, 1 Mrs. Prescott was well
satisfied with her performance and
paid her the dollar earned when the
day's toil, wroi-idone. On the noir
day and the next she came, doing
her work and teceiving her wages.
On the evening-of the third day,
Mr. Prescott thought it time to call
npon the Gardiner&
" Well this iii encouraging!" said
be, with an expression of real pl'eas
nre, as he. gazed ,around the room,
which hardly Fief med like the one he
had visited btifOre. All was clean,
and every thing in order ; • and what
was better still, the persons Of all.
though poorly I clad,- were clean and
tidy. Mrs. Girdiner sat by a table
mending ui g t rinent ; her daughter
was putting at ay the stiNer dishes;
while the man! sat teaching .a lesson
in spelling to their youngest child.
The glow of satisfaction that per
vaded thel h osioim of each member of
the family wil Mt. Prescott uttered
these approvit* Words, was a newer
and.higher pleasure than they had
for a long time experienced, and
caused•the lane of self respect and
NI lf-dependenca,rekindled once more,
to rise npwardin a steady lime. -
" I like to sea this," continued Mr.
Prescott. , " It; does me good. Yon

Walk on steadily, courageously, nn

NECESpAIir KNOWLEDGE. -- Without
advising you; to become domestic
dringes, young ladies, we earnestly
recommend to your consideration
the practice of all necessary house
hold duties. One of the most prolific
sources'of matrimonial difficulties is
the lack of knowledge on the part'of
wives of the duties of •housekeeping.
In these days, there are, a hundred
young ladies who can thrum.a piano
to one who can make a good loaf of
bread. Yet a husband has so much
of the animal' in his nature that be
cares ,more for a good 'dinner than,
he does—so long as his appetite is
nnappeaseck--to listen to the music(
of leeiaphs. ' Heavy bread has made
many heavy hearts, given rise to dys
pepsin—horrid dyspepsia— and its
herd of accompanying torments.'
Girls who desire that their husbands
should be amiable and kind, should
li.am how to make: light bread.
When o, young man is courting he
can live , at home; or, if he has to go
a distance to pay his .addresses, he
usually obtains good meals at a hotel
or eating house. but when he is
married, and gets to honsekeeptng,
his wife assumes the function of his
mother or his landlord, and it.is for
tunate for her if she has been edu
cated to know what a good table is.
Those who are entirely dependent on
cooks make a sorry show at house
keeping. The stomach perform's a
very important part in the economy
of humanity, and wives who are for
getful of this fact commit a serious
mistake. Even the lion may be tam
' ed by keeping him well fed, and the
tine dignity and munificence . of the
housewife is stored in her larder
rather than in her war4obe, though,
unfortunately, too ma ladies be
stow far more time and attention up
on the latter than upon. the former.
