True it is doomed that thou and I, too soon, alas! "'fit Part, And bitterly that farewell rend 4 the !bruised and Bleeding heart ; But sorrow-8 such as these are felt that we may better learn To prize the blissful moment when the Wand'rer shall return. • Farewell !,fareWell 1 that solemn word chills to the aching brea.st, And lips that ever met in love, now closer still are prest— Now closer still are•prest; till we shall: feel the burning Idss Enshrined° within the gentle heart--the eource of sweetest bliss. Farewell ! I leave thee, and the cares of life I seek But still this heart vvlll cling to thee, as to its idol gem; But let us hope for happier hours,adown the strewn of time, When I can gaze on thy dear face, and Clasp thy hand in mine! Farewell! farewell! that lonely word, fate's dark eclipse pee 11s And even as I utter it, the tretriblif; 'tear-drop 'falls; Farewell! faiewell ! my angel one, this brie kill f soon be past, When I return to give to thee me heart and home at last ' Benevolence.

"Itis a pretty place, but,tifter all, I shall not envy you—for there will be the Watson); under your elbow, and worse neighbors you never found. Watson, you know, spends all he can getfor liquor, and his wife is little better than himself; indeed, some sav if she was the woman she should be ; her husband would he a better man. Aud their child ren—the Pests of the neighborhood, brought up to' idleness and mischief4-therbaniir to perpetuate their parents' character." " Poor; children !" said Mrs. A., mournfully- 7 "what better can we; expect of them, than that I they perpetuate their .parents' characters, except there be redeemin g . influences cast around Allem ? Their poor mother has much to harden her heart. She was an orphan, east out on the world in iufan cy. Her heart never unfoldeil the buds of its cif: fiction beneath the genial smiles of ; parental love. Everything in her that was good, was checked by the mil influences which surrounded. her. Irow can we expect one to be good and kind, who never knew what kindness; was herself? We do not know:Mrs. Emery. what vic should be, if our fate had been like her's." " True—true," replied Urs..

" She does not know that she should not steal— But you and I ought in thank-Heaven that, strong as we think our principles to be, they have not been tried by temptations such as bees. We do not know what it is to be hungry and told, and see our little ones shivering around us, crying for bread, while our neighbors have enough, and to spare," "`Verywell," said MM. Emery, rather indignant ly ;- ".we Shall se,p how von like to have your elothes'-litie and sour fniit-trees robbedevely.now and-then." -• " That kill be very unpleasant, if it occurs," was the quiet : reply ; " but I believe society is guilty of a great deal of the mischief it suffers from such persons. They are educated in poverty and vice no smiles of love fall on their cheerless childhood ; no kitid voice warns theta of the evils which cur round their path; no kind hand is extended to raise them up when falling; but they arc often repelled with aversion and contempt by those who profess to be Cbriqians and philmithropi,ste." " You have singular notions, Mrs. Austin," re joined-her {friend. "1•Zor myself, I confess. cannot help feeling an aversion to such people, and wish them as far can; posSible." " We never had bhd neiOilx?rs," said Mrs. Aus tin. thougleully : " if this family cannot be impro ved, it may be very unpleasant living, by them." , A few days after the above conversation, Mr., and Mrs. Austin took possession of their new home. They were humble, unpretending people, but they were Christains, and they had learned Ito believe it their duty to imitate the example of their Master. They were not among those whose sympathies were inactive, when-excited!hy miseries which pass be- P4re their eyes. 'They had entered upon a spheri which was - to give trial to their patience, raid an opportunity for the exercise of their Christian beneyolence. As soon as they were settled, Mrs. Austin called upon the \% ations. It w'as riot without a feeling of loath ing that she enter Lett ruinous hovel ; but she was resolved to get 44w - tinted with thcni. and, if possible, to do thi , ny good. The children—poor, little, dir!y, half-naked things—ran awav- to hide, when ,he entered ; and Mrs. Watson, with a look of suipri,e, arose and offered her a broken chair. I I have V e just come into the plaice," .Raul she ; "and as I am anxious !to become acquainted with my eighbor.. I have taken the liberty to call." "I am lunch obliged," said Mrs. Watson. " Peo ple seldom take so much,notice of us." Mrs. Austin inquired kindly re.specling her health, 'and found that the poor woman wa; far from being Well. The children began to creep around She displayed a handful of apples which she took from her pocket; and they soon gathered around her.— She gave each an apple, and patted their curly heads, with kind and gentle words. The little creatures looked wildly at her, as if }enable to com prehend the cause of such unwonted kindness. When the kind lady. 'time to depart, she asked Mrs. Watson to let Mary—a child of seven years— accompany her home, that she might send her some The clad sprang for Ward with a cry of pleasure, and, placing her hand in that of Mrs. Austin, looked up affectionately in her face then starting back, she looked at her mother, who, she remembered, had not given her consent 1.1 r ,.. W. told Mnry elm, might go, but promised her a whipping if she wa • riot back soon. Mri Austin took the child and departed. It was a cold day in November—and the wind fluttered poor tlary's frock, and blew the tangled curls from her naked brow. Mr& Austin tied her Luidker ehief over the child's head. " Are not your feet Cold r one asked, as shy looked down, and saw that she had‘no shoes on. " Yes, ma'am," said Mary ; " but mother says we sludl get no shoes this winter, -for father spends all ke can get for drink." i They reached home, land Mrs. A. found she had a pair of shoes and a shawl--'for • little Mary, and Some medicine for her mother. :I The child had neyeri been so happy before as she was when she tripped homeithat mght. She was hot only delighted with the presents.whichshehad received, but the kind words and kind looks of her friend had fallen like sum - dune upon her heart. When Mr. Austin came home, his wife informed him of the call she had: made. " The situation of the family is truly deplorable," she laded ; " is there nothing Witt, we can do for them r ' " Indeed I do not know," replied her husband. " If there is, / doubtmot yon will think of it.' " Watson is terribly besotted ; I met him to-night, reelingihozne, probably ; to abuse his :family ; and yet they say, when he is sober, he is. a kind-heart ed, peaceable man." "He has a good trade ; and if he could be pre vailed un to work without drinking, he could support his family well His poor wife seems in dolent and hopeless ; lint, if she could see the prer.3- pects of better days, 4e would no doubt do better." !-"To be sure:: replied Mr., Austin, thoughtfully, ",he has a good trade, rind Was once ,considered :the best Workman in town ;, but he has become so in temperate, that none will ,employ him.
