God Help the Poor.
Darkly the Winter-day.
Dawns on the moor ;
How can the heart be gay?
Who can endure ?
See the sad, weary Wight,
Wanders from noon to night,
Shelterless homeless quite !
God help the poor!
Now the red robin, here,
Sits on the sill,
Not e'en a grain comes near
To touch its bill..
So with the houseless poor,
Wand'ring from door to door,
Seeking a morsel more—
Lord, 'tis thy will.
White is the virgin snow,
Bitter the morn; •
See those starved children go,
Wretched, , forloru!
Feet without shoes or hose,
Backs without warm clothes,
Strangers to calm repose—
Why were they born!
See that lone, aged man,
Snovi , 4bite Lis hair;
Marlt his sad lisage wan,
Deep his despair;
Craving the rioh monn's food,
Owner of many a rood,
Lord, thou art always good,
Hear his heart-prayer.
Yonder a woman goes,
Bagged and old, -
Barefooted, o'er the snow,
Famished and cold :
How her poor children cling
To her side shivering,
Chickens beneath her wing
Doth she enfold !
Fait falls the sleet and rain,
Slowly they go,•
By forest-side, sheltered plain,
Wailing their wo ;
City street now` they see,
Here they roam wild and free,
Are they not flesh as we ?
Can 'st thou say "no ?"
Night spreads her sable wing,
Where can they lie?
Sorrows like theirs must bring
Tears to the eye ;
Full the cloud torrent falls,
Down they must lie in,halls,
Each to his Maker calls,
" Lord let me die !"
Ye whom the heavens bless,
Give from your store;
' Twill ne'er make your treasures less,
Must make them more.
For be that giveth cheerfully,
God loves so tenderly;
Give to them I—pray with ;fie,

A Word to the Boys.
We cannot forbear to give the following
capital extract from a late speech by Sir E.
Balwer. Lytton, at the Bishop's-Stratford
High School. After speaking of the Eng
lish soldiers at the battle of Alma, he said:
They did not bear the roar of the cannon,
to whose very jaws they marched on with
unflinching .tread; they, only heard the
whisper at their hearts, " And if we do our
duty this day, what will they say of us in
England ?" Ay, and when a boy sits down
resolutely to his desks, puts aside all idle
pleasure, faces every,tedious obstacle, firmly
bent upon honorable distinction, it is the
same elevating sentiment which whispers to
him, " And if I succeed, what will they say
of me at school ?" or a dearer motive still,
"What ,will they say of me at home ?"
Boys, when I look at your young faces, -I.
could fancy myself a boy once more I go.
back to the day when I, too, tried for prizes,
sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing.
I was once as fond of play as, any of you,
and, in this Summer weather, I fear myhead
might have been more full of cricket than
of Terence or even Homer; but still I can
remember that, whethe; at work or play, I
had always a deep, though a quiet deter
mination that, sooner or later, I would be a
somebody or do something.' That deter
mination continues with me to this day;'it
keeps one hope of my boyhood fresh, when
other hopes have long since faded , away.
And now,, that we separate, let it be with
that hope upon both sides—on my side, upon
yours—that, before we die, we will do' some
thing to serve our country, that may make
us prouder of each other, and, if we fail
there, that at least we will never wilfully and
consciously do anything to make us ashamed
of each other.
BOOKB.-A learned writer says of books
c!They are masters who instruct us without
rods or ferules, without thanks or anger,
without bread or money. If you approach
them, they are not asleep; , if you seek them,
they do not hide ; if you blunder, they do
not scold.; if you are ignorant, they do not
laugh at you."
CHOOSE WISELY.—How many, adorned
with all the rarities of intellect, have stum
bled on the entrance into life, and have
made a wrong choice on -the very thing
which was to determine their course forever !
This is among the reasons, and, perhaps, is
the principal one, why the wise and the
happy are two- distinct classes of men.

A. BEAUTIFUL SMILE is to a woman's
countenance wbat the sunbeam is to the
landscape. It embellishes an inferior face,
and redeems an ugly one. A smile, how
ever, should not become habitual, or insi
pidity is the result; nor should the mouth
break into a smile on one side, the other
remaining passive and unmoved, for this
imparts an air of deceit and grotesqueness to
the fece. A disagreeable smile distorts the
lines of beauty, and is more repulsive than
a frown. There are many kinds of smiles,
each having a distinctive character—some
announce goodness and sweetness, others be
tray sarcasm, bitterness and pride; some
soften the countenance by their languishing
tenderness; others brighten it by their bril
liant and spiritual vivacity. Gazing and
poring before, a mirror cannot aid in acquir
ing beautiful smiles half so well as to turn
the gaze inward ; to watch that the heart
keeps unsullied from the reflection of evil,
and is illumined and beautified by all sweet
thoughts.
FRIENDSHIP is a -vase, which, when it is
flawed by heat, or violence, or accident, may
as well be broken at once; it never can be
trusted after. The, more graceful and orna
mental it was, the more clearly do we discern
the hopelessness of - restoring it to its former
state. Coarse stones, if they are fractured,
may be cemented again; precious ones,
never.

Sohn Bunyan.
At seventeen ; Bunyan enlisted in the
Parliamentary army, and served during the
campaign of 1645. 'Then it was that his
imagination became stored with those im
pressions of the pomp, and circumstance of
war, which furnished afterwards so many of
his illustrations, and supplied him with his
Great-heart, his Captain Boanerges, and his
Captain Credence. The campaign over, he
went borne and married. He joined a Bap
tist Society at Bedford, and after a time
began to preach ; yet we are told it was long
before lie ceased to be tormented with an
impulse which urged him to utter words of
horrible impiety in the pulpit.
With the Restoration there came perse
cution' of Dissenters, and Bunyau's well
known imprisonment in Bedford jail lasted,
with some intervals, during twelve years.
He was told that if he would give up
preaching, he would be set free; but not
even his strong domestic affections tempted
him , from the path, that seemed to him the
path of duty. He • had several small chil
dren, and among them a blind daughter,
whom he lOVed with peculiar tendernesa.
"He could not," he said, "bear even to let
the wind blow on her; and now she must
suffer cold and hunger ; she must beg; she
must be beaten "---" yet," he added, "I
Must, I must do it," '
Before he left his prison, he had begun
the book which has made his name immor
tal. The history of that book is remarkable.
The author was, as he tots us, writing a
treatise, in which he had occasion to speak
of the stages of the Christian progress. He
compared that progress, as many others had
compared it., to a pilgrimage. Soon his quick,
wit discovered innumerable points of simi
larity which had escaped his predecessors.
Ima g es came crowding on his mind faster
than he could put them into words—quag
mires and pits, steep hills, dark and horrible
glens, soft vales, sunny pastures, a gloomy
castle of which the court-yard was streivn
with the skulls and bones of murdered pris
oners, a town all bustle and splendor like
London on the Lord Mayor's day, and the
narrow path, straight as a rule could make
it, running on up hill and down hill, through
city and through wilderness, to the Black
river and the. Shining gate.
The.." Pilgrim's Progress" stole silently
into the world. Not a single copy of the
first edition is known to be in existence.
The year of publication has not been ascer
tained. It is probable that, during some
months, the little volume circulated only
among poor and obscure sectaries. But
soon the irresistible charm of a book which
gratified the imagination of the reader with
all the action and scenery of a fairytale,
;which exercised 'his ingenuity by setting
him to discover a multitude of curious anal
ogies, which interested his feelings for
human beings, frail like himself, and strug
gling with temptations from within and from
without, which - every moment drew a smile
from him by some stroke 'of quaint yet sim
ple pleasantry, and nevertheless left on his
*mind a sentiment of reverence' for God and
of sympathy for man, began to produce its
effect. In 1678 came forth a second edition
with additi6lis; and then thedemand be
came immense. In the four following fears
the book was reprinted
.six times. The
eighth edition, which contains the last im
provements made by,the author, was Pub
lished in. 1682; the ninth in 1684, the tenth
in 1685. The help of the engraver had
early been called in; and' tens of thousands
of children looked with terror and delight
on execrable copper-plates; 'which represented
Christian thrusting his sword into Apollyon,
or writhing
.in the grasp of Giant Despair.

land, and among the Huguenots of France . .
With the pleasures, however, he experienced
some of the pains of eminence. Knavish
booksellers put forth volumes of trash under
his name, and envious scribblers maintained
it to be impossible that the,poor ignorant
tinker should really be the author of the
book which was called his.
He took the best way to confound both
those who counterfeited him, and those who
slandered him. He continued to work the
gold field which be had discovered, and to.
draw from.it new treasures, not indeed with
quite such ease and in quite - such abundance
as when the precious soil was'still virgin,
but yet with success which left all competi
tion far behind. In 1684 appeared the
second part of the "Pilgrim's Progress."

Influence of Kind on the Body
The influence of faith, belief or opinion,
on the body is unquestionable. We have
seen children of two, three or four years Of
age Oliver in the cold bath, because they
feared, beforehand, it would be cold to
them. The proof of mental influence in
this case is derived from the fact, that when
the sane process in the same circumstances,
or those which, nearly resemble it, is sub
mitted to cheerfully and without-apprehen
sion, there is 330 shivering.
The same truth is applicable almost every
where in life, and in nearly all circumstances.
Things are, to a very great extent, as we ap
prehend them. If we expect a room will
be cold at sixty degrees of Fahrenheit, it is
very apt to prove so. If we expect to be
fatigued with a certain kind or degree of ex
ercise or labor, we are apt to be so; and the
contrary. So if we expect to catch cold or
any other disease—even small pox—we are
very apt to find it so. On the contrary, he
who does not expect to be sick or to be as
sailed, may walk unseathed through dangers
by which the more timid man would be de
stroyed. 'We might illustrate the principle
at which we aim by numerous examples,hut
a few will be sufficient for our present pur- ,
pose. We wish, if possible to fasten the
conviction on' the minds of our readers, that
just as surely as the expectation of, being
wealthy, wise or good, tends to such results,
so surely does the expectation that we shall
be healthy or diseased tend to make us so.
In Paris' ,Life of Sir Humphrey Davy,
we are told'that Dr. Beddoes once went to him
with a patient who was greatly afflicted with
one species of palsy, in order that he might
receive the nitrous oxide gas, but without
explaining to his patient the nature of the
operation. Before administering the gas,
however, a thermometer was placed under
his tongue, to ascertain the general tempera
ture of his system. The patient, not so
much as imagining what was to be done, no
sooner felt' the bulb of the thermometer un
der his tongue, than he declared he was
better. The gas, therefore, was not given,
but the man was required to come and be
operated upon in the same way the following
day, which he did, and with similar happy
effects. In fine, after repeating the opera
tion of placing the bulb of the thermometer
under his tongue every day, for a fortnight,
the patient was dismissed, perfectly cured.
Equally worthy of our credit, thoug,h it
may seem to partake a little more or the
marvellous, is a story which' Dr. Gregory, of
Edinburgh, was accustomed to relate to his
students:
Having ordered a young patient of Ins--
a medical student—to take an anodyne at
bed-time, the young man understood hint to
say a cathartio.
.The medicine was accord
ingly taken in the full expectation of laxa
tive effects; which, in truth, were realized.
When Dr: G. asked the next morning what
effect the anodyne had, the sick man ex
claimed with great surprise—" Anodyne,
sir ! did you not send me a cathaitic ?" By
no means, said the doctor ,• it was an ano
dyne.
,Well, said the patient, it has cer
tainly operated as a cathartic, and
,I feel
greatly relieved by it. Now, it is quite pos
sible that the condition of the young man
was such that the anodyne produced cathar
tic effects independent of the state of the
mind still it is scarcely probable:
It is on the same principle that medicines
in general not only in the h'ands of quacks,
but in those of regular physicians them
selves, have much of their efficacy. The
influence of charms, and conjairations, and
incantations, to restore health among sav
ages, is wedknown. We are, all of us, in
this respect, hut .little elevated above the
condition of savages. We are the continued
dupes of our fears : "and feel a thousand
deaths in . learimr one."--Alcott.

Cold'Feet.
Cold, feet, are the avenues to death of mul
titudes every year; it is a sign of imperfect
eireulation—of want of vigor of constitution.
No one can be well whose feet are habitually
cold. , :When the blood is equally distributed
to every part of the body there is . general
goodlealth: If there be less blood at one
point thero.is a coldness; and not only so,
there must be . more than is natural at some
part of the system, and there is fever, that
is, unnatural heat or oppression. In the
case of , cold feet, the amount of blood want

raw, burning feeling, most felt at the bottom
of the neck. To others again, whose bowels
are weak through overeating, or drinking
spiritous liquors, cold feet give various de
grees of derangement, from common loose
ness
up to diarrhea or dysentary; and so we
might go through the whole body, but for
the present this is sufficient for illustration.
If you are well, let yourself alone. But
to those whose feet are inclined to be cold,
we suggest : •
As soon as. you get up in the , morning put
both feet in a basin of cold water, so as to
come half way to the ancles; keep them in
half a minute, rubbing them vigorously.;
wipe them dry and hold: them to the ire, it
convenient in cold weather, till, every part of
your feet feels as dry as your band; then
'put on your,,socks or stockings.
On going to bed at night ,draw of your
.stookings, and hold: your feet to the fire ten
or fifteenlninutes, till perfectly dry, and' go
to bed. .This is a most pleasing operation,
and fully repays for the trouble of it. No
one can sleep well or refreshingly with cold
feet. All' Indians and , hunters sleep with
I . their feet to the fire'. . •

Rev. David Nelson, the author of that
admirable work, "The Cause and Cure of ,

"On one ,occasion, he went to the house
of a young man of wealth, on an evening,
when the brilliant parlors were filled with
sons and daughters of fashion. After the
crowd had dispersed, as, he sat alone with
the: young man; he began to talk with him
about the interests of his soul. The man
replied thathe - would gladly become a Chris
tian, if he knew" what to - do. "Suppose,"
said. Dr. Nelson, " The Lord Jesus stood in
this room, and you knew it was the Lord
Jesus, and he should look kindly on you,
and stretch - out his hand toward you, and
should say 4 Come unto, me, all ye that labor
and are heavy-laden, and I will give you
rest,' what would yoa do ?" "I would go
to him, and fall down before him, and ask
himto save me," was the reply.
" But what if your gay companions were
in the room
' and- they should, point and
laugh at you?" "I should not care for
that. I should go to the Lord Jesus."
" Well, the Lord is really in - this room,
though you cannot see him, and he
stretches out his hand to you,
,and says
'Come unto me ;" and you should believe
what he -says-in his letter, the Bible, as
much as though you heard the words.

opinion that gold is the petrified fat or mar

you are doing for the Church and the cause of truth, avevy
valuable service, in the preparation and publication of your
Commentaries on the New. Testament. ,Theyfill a place
which it inmost important to have filled. They are read by
the members of Bible Classes, and by teachers, and by pu

iTIITTTERING AND STABINERINCt
CURED, Without Pain or Surgical Operation.
The readers of the Banner and Adiscate will recollect I
published a notice last Winter, headed " The Last Call to
Stuttering and Stammering Persons," in which I announced
was the only chance they would ever have of getting cured,
and all who desired the cure should either send for it by
mail or call themselves before the 10th of March, aeon that
day I had made arrangements to resign my profession, and
retire from the practice. Since the 10th, I have personally
consulted forty. and sent the cure by mall to sixty indi
viduals. In every instance perfect satisfaction has been
rendered. Injustice to all who are so unibrtunate as to
stutter or stammer yet. I have thought proper to give
another opportunity of being cured, and therefore would
respectfully request them to send me $2O, (which is leas
than my usual fee,) and I will immediately send them my,
cure. By so doing they save the expense of traveling.
am a responsible man, and if my cure is not effectual, I will
agree to refund the money. Recollect. this cure never fails.
Address Dr. WYCKOFF, Box 746, Pittsburgh Poet Office.
There has been a floating population of imposters travel
ing the country, professing to cure • impediments of epee&
by my system, and many have had the audacity to advertise
in my name,
and give the names of men for reference whom
they never knew or saw.. When persons who stammer
called, those men would represent me, and in several in
stances produce a certificate purporting to be mine, vesting
in them full power and authority to practice as my Agents.
I have frequently warned the Public of these men, as they;
are not in full possession of my system, and cannot cure.
Through untiring perseverance, I arrested two of them,
and others will sooner or later ahare the same fate. This
cure for Stuttering or Stammering is one of my own
discovery, for which I have a copy right, -secured by law,
and have successfully practised the same for the term of
nine years.
My references are of the highest order, such as the Medi
cal Faculty of New York, Philadelphia, and the University
of Virginia, all the Press of Pittsburgh, Washington,
Greensburg, and Uniontown, Pa., besides fifty thousand'
persona in different parts of. the country_
This cure for Stuttering and Stammering is performed . in
less than une hour. These is no pain or surgicial operation
attending it. •
• The beauty ,ef thiste,itwill cure children of Eve, and
adults at - the age orerie'bundred years. A person- who is
cured by it, can never again istutter,"even if they try.• of:
fer to forfeit $lO,OOO if any person can ever afterwards Stut
ter, by application of the cure.
It was formerly • customary to announce, that no pay
would be required unless a perfect cure was performed.
That was done to show the people th6re would be no risk in
giving me a trial. But now, inasmuch as the leading citi
zens of Pittsburgh, know my cure never fails, it would be
supertiuous.to make another such announcement.
