Let us Help one Another —This
little sentence should be written on
every heart, stamped on every memo
ry. It should be the golden rule prac
ticed not only in every household, but
throughout the world. By helping
oue another, we not only remove thorns
Irom the pathway, an 1 anxiety from
the mind, but we feel a sense of pleas
ure iu our hearts, knowing we are do
ing a duty to a fellow creature. A
helping or an encouraging word is no
loss to us, yet it is a benefit to others.
Who has not needed the encourage
ment and aid of a kind frieDd ? How
soothing, when perplexed with some
task that is mysterious and burden
some, to feel , a gentle hand' on the
shoulder, and hear a kind voice whis
pering,—“Do not be discouraged—I
see your trouble—let me help you.”
What strength is inspired—what hope
created—vvliat sweet gratitude is felt,
and the great difficulty is dissolved as
dew beneath a sunshine. Yes, let us
help one another by'endeavoring to
strengthen and encourage the weak
and lifting the burden from the weary
and oppressed, that life may glide
smoothly on and the fount of bitter
ness yield sweet w r aters; and be whose
willing hand is ever ready to aid us,
will reward our humble endeavors,
and every good deed will bea9 “bread
cast upon the waters, to return after
many days” if not to us, to those we
love.
A Ministerial Error.—It is, I
think, an error, into which many of
our modern ministers, whose education
has been carried to* a high pitch, have
fallen, that everything is to be done by
the head rather than heart. We know
very well that the true method is to
reach the heart through the head, and
men must be made to feel by being
shown why they should feel, and what
is to make them feel. But in many
case*, especially in the least educated,
the head is to be reached by appeals to
the heart. We often hear the remark :
“Ye?, it was a smart sermon btrt w'an
ted heart. It spaikled like the stars
or shone like the moon on a w'iniry
night, but it warmed no one.” I have
been sometimes struck, as every one
must have been, with the varying ef
fect produced Ly different speakers at
a public meeting; and how much metre
power over an audience,, and how
much more the object of the meeting
ba3 been accomplished by a few gush
es of pimple eioqueDce from the heart
of sotne earnest, and ardent advocate,
Uiarr Dy xtre elatrottnvy Las p«c-oior»l®oo
pleader. Tiie latter was coldly ad
mired, and admitted, to be an eloquent
speaker; but the former melted and
ov.d his audience by the depth and
intensity of his own feeling.—James.
A poor boy of thirteen years was
taken sick in a New York boarding
house, and last week exhausted nearly
all bis means, so that he no longer paid
for food, but lodging only. He paid
hi3 last quarter on Christmas night,
when the woman told him-he must go,-
but be was unable to move, Another
lad pitied him and paid for Sunday
night. The woman, thinking he would
die, carried him out in the street, where
he was found by a neighbor,- who con
veyed him to the Five Points House of
Industry. He was unable to stand,,
being faint from hunger,-as he had
eaten nothing since Friday morning,
and during Christmas day he was suff
ering. the agony of starvation, with
out a soul to - minister to him in that
city of wealth and plenty.
The comments of a colored preacher,
on the text: ‘It is more blessed to give
than receive,’ are inimitable for point
as well as eloquence. ‘I’ve known
many a church to die ’cause it didn't
give enuff; but I never knowed a
church to die because it gave too much.
Dey don’t die that way. Bredren, has
any of you knowed a church to die
cause it gave loo much? If you do,
just let me know, and I’ll make a pil
grimage to dat church, and 1’Jl climb
by de soft light of de moon to its moss
covered roci, and i’ll siand darand lift
my hands to Heaven.and^ay :: ‘Blessed
are de deadidat die in de Lord.’

Thesbrewd carrier of the Winniboru’
South Carolina Nevus, iu bis New Year's
Address, tells the whole story of oolton
vs. corn in these few homely line?:
Although our noble farmers
Have worked with might and main,
They’ve fai’el in many instances
Their honest end to gain.
For the rains are very partial,
And the crops of coarse were short,
And those who raised no corn at home
Of Northern merchants bought.
The liens took all their cotton,
And they ever will be poor,
Who instead of raising corn at home,
Have their cribs in Baltimore.
Amiable mother‘Here, Tommy, is
some nice castor-oil, with-onnge in it.’
Doctor:. ‘Now, remember, dou?tgive it
all to Tommyleaver some for me.’
Tommy (wbu has beep there before):
‘Doctor^ a nice man, ma; give it ail to
doctor.’
The Prince of- Wales and the
Free mason a.—T he Brinep of Wales
was on Wednesday evening admitted
a member of the United Grand I^odge
of Freemasons of England. A large,
company of masons assembled at FVee-
masons’ Hall, London, under^tbe presr-
idency of the Earl of Zetland, and.the
prince was introduced and welcomed
as a member of the lodge. His royal
highness, who wore an ordinary'howr-
ter mason’s apron and the Order of the
Garter, was then invested with the.
“clothing” of a past grand master, his .
titles being announced by Sir Albert.
Woods. The priuce remained to hear
the business of the evening, which
the resignation of office by the Eirlf eff-
Zetland, the grand master, and tbp
nomination of the Earl de Grey and
Ripon as the earl’s successor. In the
course of the evening the prihee was'
“saluted” with the royal sign, which, >!
we are told, “appeared to give him
great gratification and no little aston^,
ishment.” . . . .
In the course of the proceedings, the
