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.
