The Wiiy-FiiriMg niast.
BY MONTGOMERY.
A poor way-faring man of grief'
Hath often crossed me-on my way,
Who sued so humbly for relief,
That I could never answer nay ;
I had not power to ask lus name,
Wintrier he went or whence he came ;
Yet there .was something in his eye
That won my love, I know not why.
Once when my scanty meal was spread,
He entered not a word he spake ,
Just perishing for want of bread,
I gave him all he blessed it, brake
And ate, but gave me part again
.Mine was an angel's portion then
And while I fed with eager haste,
The crust was manna to ihy t'asle.
I spied hinshvhere a fou plain burst
Clear from the rock his strength was gone,
The heedless water mocked his thirst; f
He heard it, saw it hurrying on.
I ran and raised the sufferer up ;
Thrice from the stream he drained my cup,
Dipped, and returned it running o'er - .
I drank and never thirsted more.
The floods were out - it'blew
'Twas night
A wintry hurricane aloof;
I heard his voice abroad, and flew'
To bid him welcome to my roof.
I warmed, I clothed, I checrud my guest,
Laid him on my own couch to re.t,
Then made the earth my bed, and seemed
In Edcn"s garden while I dreamed.
Stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death,
I fouud him by the highway side ;
I roused his pulse, brought Back his breath,
Revived his spiritj and supplied
Wine, oil, refreshment ; he was heald.
I had mysetf a wound concealed,
But from that hour forgot the smart,
And peace bound upon my broken heart.
Jn prison, I saw him nexi condemned
To meet a traitor's doom at morn ;
The tide of lying tongues I stemmed,
And honored him 'mid shame and scorn
My friendship's utmost zeal to try,
Ho asked me if J for him would die.
The flesh was weak, my "blood Tan chill,
But the free spirit cried, " I will I"
Then in a moment, to my view,
The stranger started from. disguise:
The tokens in his hands I knew,
My Saviour stood before my eyes;
lie spake, and my poor name he named,
" Of me thou hast not been ashamed ;
These deeds shall thy memorial be :
Fear not, thou didst it unto me."
A Story of a Wooden JLcg.
A Boston correspondent of the N. Y. Spir-
ilofthc Times gives the following amusing '
yarn.
I heard a good story the other day, which I
will tell you. A. distinguished member of the
legislature was addressing a temperance so-
ciety, and he got rather prosy, but showed no
disposition to "let up," though the audience
waxed thinner
and. tliinner.
Finally, the
presiding officer got excited, and repairing to 1

Influence of Clothing on the
Skin.
It is a fact which must be important to ev
ery one that clothing in itself has no proper-
tv of bestowing heat, but is chiefly useful in
of the body, and in some instances in defen
ding it form that of the atmosphere. This
power of preserving heat is due to the same
principle, whatever from the raiment may
assume, whether the natural covering of
birds and animals, or whether the most beau-
, tiful and elegant tissues of human, manufac-
ture. In every case it is the power Vhich
the coverings possess of detaining . in their
meshes atmospheric air, that is the cause of
their warmth.
We have an exemplification of this princi
ple in the lightness of all articles of warm
warm air and the same principle is carried
out in the clothing of men. Our garments
retain a stratum of air kept constantly warm
that a loose dress is much warmer than one
that fits closethat a loose glove is warmer
than a tight one, and that a loose boot or shoe,
in the same manner, bestows greater warmth
, than one of smaller dimensions. The explan-
, ation is obvious the loose dress encloses a,
,' thin stratum of air, which the tight dress is
iitt. i
incapable of doing, and all that is required is
, that the dress should be closed at the upper

Now, water is one of the best conductors of
heat, and moves it so rapidly from the body
as to cause a general chill.- But this is not
all; the moisture in the tissue of the linen
has so great a capacity and attraction for heat
that it continues to rob the body more of that
element, until the whole ofthe fluid is evapora
ted. These circumstances have caused theen
tire abandonment of linnen as a covering next
the skin, in hot climates, where the apparel
unustbe necessarily thin. But in temperate and
com cnmaies we get over tne inconvenience
by wearing over the linen a woolen or leath
er covering in the winter, and a cotton or
thin, woolen in the summer. Eras7ims Will
son. Aaron Burr.
About the year 1795, Colonel Burr was
owner of nearly one-fourth of ablock front
ing Nassau, Cedar, and Liberty streets
Broadway. He was an eminent lawyer,
with an extensive practice. I was infor-

on juries in the old City Hall (now the

site of the custom-house) when Hamilton
and Burr were the opposing counsel.
They were both .acute lawyers and elo
quent speakers. A remarkable incident
took place one day. They were trying
the validity of a will. Hamilton having
the will in his hand, happened to hold it
between
the window and his eves. lie
rose, and prayed the court to stay the
the iudge, (IthinkitwasBrockholstLiv-
ingston) remarked: "If the court please,
there is a witness from Heaven that will

please, hold the instrument so as to look

paper, tne water-maric is
dated five years after the will was sign
ed. The testator could not make a will
five 3'cars after he was dead." Of course
a verdict for the defendant was given at
once.
In the year 1800, Colonel Burr was
elected to the office of Tice President of
the United States. On the 11th of July,
1804, he retired from political life. The
