Ml •ssrs. Editors: —Early one morn-j
ing wiiile it w is yet dark, a poor man
Came to my dour, and informed me
that lie had an inf nt child very sick,!
which he was afraid wo Id die. He,
desired me to go to his house, anti if
possible prescribe some medicine to
relieve if, ‘For,’ said be, ‘I want to
save its life if possible.’ As he spike
this the tears ran down Ins face. He
then added, ‘I am a ;>• >or man, but,
doctor, 1 will pay you in work as
much s you ask, if you will g 1
sail!, ‘Yes, I will go with you as soon l
as I t,k- a little refreshment.’ *<),
sir,’ said h , 4 was going to try to get
a bushel of corn, and get it ground,
ito cam home; and I am afraid the
[ child will dis before 1 get home. I
wish yon would not wait for me,’
land the; added, VFe want to save the
child's lit if we can.’
i It. being some mileft to his house, I
did not arrive there until the suri was
two hours high in the morning, where
( l.nind the mo t. her bidding Iter sick
child, and six or seven little ragged
boy sand girls around her, with ch an
hands and laces, looking as their
mother did—lean and poor. Onex
amining the sick clidd, I discovered
it was starring to death! I said to the
motliei ,/You d< n‘t give rcilk enough
for this child.’ She said ‘1 suppose
I don't.’ ‘Well,’ said I. ‘You must
feed it with milk.’ She* said, ‘1
would sir, but I can’t get any to free! il
with.’ I then said, *lt will be well
then for you to make a little, water
gruel, and feed your child.’ To this (
she said, ‘1 was thinking 1 would it
my husband brings home some Indian
meal. He has gone to try and get
some, and lam in hopes lie will make
it out,’ She said all this with a very
sad countenance. I asked with sur
prise,‘Why, madam, have you noth
ing to cat?’ She strove to suppress a
Lear, and answered sorrowfully, ‘No,
st we have had but little these some
days.’ I said, ‘What are your neigh
bours, that you should suffer among
them?’ She said, *1 suppose they are
good people, but we are strangers in
this place, and doii‘t wish to trouble
any of them, if we can get along
without.’ I thought 1 would give the
child a little manna. So l asked for
a spoon. The little girl went to the
table draw tu get one, and her mother
said to Her, ‘Get the longest handle
spoon.’ As she opened the drawer,
i saw only two spoons, ami both with
the li undies broken off, but one handle
was a little longer than the other.
Thinks I to my myself this is a very
poor family, but l will do the best 1
can to relieve them. While I was
preparing the best medicine for the
sick child, I heard the oldest boy (who
was about fourteen) say, ‘You shall
have the biggest piece now, because
I had the biggest piece before.’ I
turned round to see who it. was that
manifested such a principle of justice,
and l saw four or five children sitting
in the corner where the oldest was
dividing a roasted potato© among
them. And he said to one, ‘You shall
have the biggest piece now,’ &c.
But the other” said, *Wly , brother
you are the oldest, and you ought to
have the biggest piece.’ ‘No,’ said
the other, ‘I had the biggest piece be
fore.’ 1 turned to the mother, and
said, ‘Madam, you have potatoes to
eat, I suppose?’—She replied, ‘We
have had, but that is the last one we
had left; and the children havejnow
that for thejh* breakfast,’ Uu
be miigUiis, I hastened home and in
formed my wife that I had taken the
wrong nude ine with me to the si k
! family, I then prescribed a gallon of
i milk, two loaves of bread, some but
ter, meat, and potatoes, and sent, my
| buy with these, and had the pleasure
;to hear in a few days that they were
all well.
The principle of justice manifested
;in those children delighted :ny soul
and served as a rich reward for all
my labour. O how good and li >w
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity and love! To s< o
them iu time of distress and starva
tion so just and liberal as to giv- to
j ,\n ri one bis full Sucre of one. roasted
pntatoe, \\ <ts a pleasant sight, O Hie
sweet words, You shall have the big
gest piece now, for I had the
piece before.’ May every child em
brace this just and loving principle.

CHARACTER OT
BORUHIU BIBLE 11.
Down to the period of his death in
a ditch.
HE IS FUDDLED!
We may now pause before that
drunken prodigy which staggered a-
mongst us like some sotish landlord
whose nose parboiled the liquor bis
mouth swallowed.
Dirty, squinting and peculiar, he
fell from his seat, an overcome lub
ber, hiccupping in the harmony of his
own originality.
A hal greased, rimless, and scal
loped—a coat, destitute of its skirts—
a net k loth that distanced description
—a pair of breeches grinning defiance
to totality, marked the outline of this
extraordinary drinker—the most ex
traordinary, perhaps, that in the an
nals of tins world, ever drank, or
reeled or fell*
Flung into the tavern in the midst
of a combat that employed every fist
of a crowd who acknowledged no supe
rior, lie commenced his blow-out, a
cobler by trade, and a drunkard by
inclination.
With no friend but his cup, and no
fortune but his wages, he rushed to
the bar room where rum, and gin, and
brandy had arrayed themselves, and
sobriety fled from him as from the
glance of destiny. He knew no mo
tive but drunkenness—he acknowl
edged no check but an empty pocket—
he worshipped no God but the bottle,
and with an Eastern devotion he
knelt at the shrine of his idolatry.
Antecedent to this, there was no spir
it that he did not love, there was no
cordial that he did not venerate; in’
the hope of a tankard, he Battered the
landlord; for the sake of a dram, he
bowed to the bar-keeper.
A professed Christian, he guzzled
in Lent; a pretended saint, he horse
whipped his wile; and in the name of
a borrower, he stole without remorse,
and wore without shame, the shirt of
his neighbor.
The bar contained no liquors that
he did not approve; there was no bot
tle he could not empty; and whether
amid brother drunkards in a ditch, or
on a dunghill, he seemed never to be
sober and everlastingly drunk. The
whole army of tipplers wondered at
beholdiug the immensity of his
draughts, and the velocity with which
he drank them* Scepticism bowed to
No. 31.
