Mrs. Sayres looked at the last named speaker with a glance which seeratoi to say “You, who never hav« known self denial, cannot feel for me,” and remark ed, “ You surely think one can be too poor to give ?” “ I once thought so, but have learned from joyful experience that no better in vestment can be made, even from the depths of poverty, than lending to the Lord. Seeing the ladies listening attentively to the conversation, Mrs. L. continued. “ Perhaps as our work is finished, I can do no better than to give you my experience on the subject.” It may bt the means of showing you that God will reward the cheerful giver. “ During the first twenty-eight years of my life I was surrounded by wealth, and not until I had been married for nine years did I know a want which money could satisfy, or feel the necessi ty of exertion. Reverses came with fearful suddenness, and before I had re covered from the blow, I found myself the wife ofa very poor man, with five little children dependent upon our exer tions. “From that hour I lost all thoughts of anything but the care of my family. Late hours and hard work were my por tion, and to my unskilled hands itseemed at first a bitter lot. My husband strove anxiously to gain a subsistence. «And barely succeeded. We changed our place of residence several times in hopes of doing better, but without improve ment. “ Every thing seemed against us.— Our well stocked wardrobe had become so exhausted that I felt justified in ab senting myself from the house of God with my children, for want of suitable apparel. While in this low condition I went to church one evening, where my poverty stricken appearance would escape notice, nnd took my seat near the door. An agent from the West preach ed, and begged contributions to the Home Missionary cause. His appeal brought tears to my eyes, and painfully reminded me of my past days of prosperi ty when I could give from my abund ance to all who culled on me I never entered my mind that the appeal for assistance in any way concerned me, with my poor children banished from the house of God by poverty, while I could only venture out under the friend ly protection of the darkness. It left the church more submissive to my lot, with a prayer in my heart that those whose consciences had been addressed might respond. The words of the text, * Give, and it sh ill be given unto you ; good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall men give unto your bosom,’ seemed continu ally sounding in my ears. The eloquent entreaty of the speaker to all, however uever again think I am too poor to give.” —Independent. Domestic <£xouom£.

I rose early the next morning, and looked over my worldly goods in search of something worth be stowing, but in vain, thepromised bless ing seemed beyond my reach. •* Hearingthat the ladies of the church had filled a box for the missionary’s family, I made one more effort to spare something. All was poor and thread bare, what should I do ? At last I thought of my towels. I had six, of coarse brown linen; but little worn.— They seemed a scanty supply for a fami ly of seven; and yet I took one from lire number, and putting it in my pock et, hastened to the house where the box was kepi and quietly slipped it in, I returned home with a light heart, feeling that my Saviour’s eye had seen my sacrifice, and would bless my effort to do right • l From that day; success attended An Unfortunate Widow.—Col. Smith, in his recently published “ Thea trical Journey-work”—by the way, an exceedingly interesting and amusing volume, as exhibiting the early strug gles of the drama in the west and south west—relates the following odd occur rence during his peregrinations in Ala bama : “ Between Caleba Swamp and Line creek, in the Nation, we saw a conside rable crowd gathered near a drinking house, most of them seated and smok ing. We stopped to see what was the matter. It was Sunday, and there had been a quarter race for a gallon of whiskey. The first thing I noticed on alighting, was the singular position of one of the horses of tho party. He was kneeling down and standing on his hinder feet, his head wedged in between the ends of two logs of the grocery, and he was stone dead, having evidently run directly against the building at full speed; causing the house partially to fall. About five paces from the house lay the rider, quite senseless, with a gash in his throat which might have let out a thousand lives. As I said, most of the crowd were seated and smoking. What is all this V’ I inquired.— “ What is the matter here?” “ Matter ?” after a while answered one in a drawling voice, giving a good spit, and re-filling his mouth with a new quid, “ Matter enough; there’s been a quarter race!” “ But how came this man and horse killed ?” I asked. “ Well,” answered the chewing and spitting gentleman, “ the man was con siderably in liquor, I reckon, and he run his horse chuck agin the house, and that’s the whole on’t” “ Has a doctor been sent for ? in quired one of our party. “ I reckon there ain’t much use for doctors here,” replied another of the crowd. “ Burnt brandy couldn’t save either of em—man or hoss.” “ Has this man a wife and children ?” inquired I. “ No children, that l knows on,” an swered a female, who was sitting on the ground a short distance from the dead man, smoking composedly. “ He has a wife then ? I remarked. “ What will be her feelings when she ■learns tbe termination of this most -^unfortunate race ?” “ Yes,” sighed the female—“ it was au unfortunate race. Poor man, he has lost the whisky.” “ Do you happen to know his wife ?— has she been informed of the untimely death of her husba’id ?” were my next inquiries. “ Do I know her ?” Has she been in formed of his death ?” said the woman. “ Well, I reckon you ain’t acquainted about these parts. I am the unfortunate widder ?” “ Y» u, tnadame 1 You the wife of this man who has been so untimely cut off?” I exclaimed in astonishment. “ Yes and what about it?’’ said she. Utimely cut off? His throat’s cut,, that’s all, by that tarnal sharp end of * log; and as for it’s being untimely, I don’t know but it’s as well now as any time—be warn’t of much account, no how 1” “ She resumed her smoking, and we resumed our journey;” A PLAUSIBLE REMEDY. A gentleman in Alabama, in exert ing himself one day, felt a sudden pain, and fearing his internal machinery had been thrown out of gear, sent for a ne gro on his plantation, who made some pretentions to medical skill, to prescribe for him. The negro, having investigat ed the case, prepared and administered a dose to his patient with the utmost confidence of a speedy cure. No re lief being experienced, however, the gentleman sent for a physician, who, on arriving, inquired of the negro what medicine he had given his master. Bob promptly responded, ‘rosin and alnm.i ^ sir!’ What did you give them for,’ continu ed the doctor. Why,’ replied Bob ‘dealum to draw de parts togeber, and the rosin to soder ANBERRIES awl White received by T- BISHOP & SON. all my husband’s efforts in business. In a fetv months our means iucreased so that we were able to attend church, and send our children to the Sabbath school, and before ten years had passed, our former prosperity had returned four fold, 4 Good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over> had been given us. “ It may seem superstitions to you, my dear friends, but we date all our success in life to God’s blessing, follow ing that humble gift of deep poverty. “ Wonder not that from that day 1 deem few too poor to give, and 1 am a firm believer in God’s promise that he will repay with interest even in this life all we lend to hitt).^ Glances of deep interest unmixed with envy, were cast from the windows at Mrs. L. as after bidd ng.the ladies adieu she Stepped into her luxurious carriage Her consistent benevolence had prov ed to all that in her prosperity she still retained the -same Christian spirit which in her days of poverty had led to the bestowal of the brotvu towel. “ Welij’ exclaimbd Mrs. Sayres, “ if we all have such a self-denying spirit we will fill another box at once.

Student.—At a certain splendid evemngparty a haugh* ghty young beauty turned to a student wqo stood near her, and said : ‘‘Cousin John, I understand your eccentric friend L is here ; I have a great curiosity to sec him. Do bring him here, and introduce him to me.” The student went in search of his friend and at length found him lounging on a sofa. “Come L said he, “my beautiful cousin Catharine wishes to be introduced to you.” “Well, trot her out, John,” drawled L , with an affected yawn. John returned to his oousin, and ad vised her to defer the introduction to a mi ire favorable time, repeating the an swer he had received. The beauty bit her lip; but the next moment said : •‘Well, never fear. I shall insist on be ing introduced.” After some delay, L——was led up, and tbe ceremony of introduction was performed. Agreeably surprised by the beauty and commanding appearance of Catherine, L. made a profound bow-; but instead cf returning it, she stepped backward, and raising her eye-glass, surveyed him deliberatelyJrom head to foot; then waiving the back of her hand towards him, drawled out : “Trot him off, John f trot him off! that is enough!” TWELVE RULES FOR THE NEW YEAR. The following rules are intended, mainly, for the guidance of young men and women : 1. Get married—if you can,* but Ibok before you leap. Love matches are romantic—nice things to read about —but they have brimstone in them, now and then , so says Ike Marvell. Esq. 2. Unite in overthrowing the fashion which translates civility into love. Hints to Farmers.—Toads are the very best protection of cabbage against lice. ; Plants, when drooping are revived by a few grains of camphor. Pears are generally improted by graft ing on the mountain ash. Stt'pl.it r is valuable in preserving grapes &c., from insects In feeding with corn, 60 lbs. ground goes as far as 110 lbs. in the-, kernel. Turnips of small size have double the nutritious matter that large ones have. Ruta Baga is the only root that in creases in nutriment with its size. Rats and t.ther vermin are kept away from grain by sprinkling garlic wheit,/ packing 0 e sheaves.

In Germany bread is baked for a family about once a fort-* night and two or three bushels of flour are mixed up at one time, with yeast, and left to stand over night, which by being left too long, or if it gets too hbf,- becomes acidulous or sourish. If lime’ water is then added, it does good sel*-* vice by neutralizing the excess of acidt,- and still leaves a sufficient quantity of* cxrbooic.acid gas to make the bread* light.

How to keep Gathered Fruit and’ Flowers Alwats Fresh.—Fruit and - flowers may be preserved from-decay amJ fading by immersing them in a solu tion oi gum arabic in water two or three* times, waiting a sufficient time between' each immersion to allow the gum to dry. This process coveys the surface of the’ fruit with a thick coating of the gutn* which is entirely impervious to the niiy and ihus prevents the decay of the fruit, or the withering of the flower. OUr ft iend has roses thus preserved, which have all the beauty and fragrance of fresh ones, though they have been sepa rated from the parent stem since June last.

A young clerical gentleman relates the following anecdote of one of his Dutch brethren. Tlie old fellow was about commencing his spiritual exercises one evening, when to his being a little near sighted was added the dim light of a country church. After clearing his throat and giving out the hymn, pre facing it with the apology— The light ish bad, mine evesish dim, I scarce can see to read dish hymn. The clerk supposing it was the first stanza of the hymn, struck up to the tune of common metre. The old fellow taken somewhat aback by this turn of affairs, corrected tlie mistake by saying: I didn’t mean to sing disn In-mb, I only meant mine eves ish diin. The clerk still thinking it a combina tion of the couplet, finished in the pre ceding strain. The old man at this, waxed wrotli. and exclaimed at the top of his voice • I dink the debit’s in you all, Dat wash no hymn to sing at all. week. 4.
