'What is Charity ?
'Tis not to pause, when at the door
A shivering brother stands ,
To ask the ca use that made him poor,
Or wh y he hel p demands.
'Tis not to spurn that brother 's prayer ,
For faults he '
once has known—
'Tis not to leaveohim to despair ,
And say that '*I have do ne !
"
The voice of Char ity is kind ,
She thinketh noting wrong—
To everv fnult she seemeth blind ,
Nor v aunteth wither tongue.
la penitence she plaeeth faith—
Hope smileth at her tre.
or—
Reli eveth first, then softl^saith,
" Go, brother , sin no more ?.''
" Is any merry ?—let him sing Psalms."
Sing at your work—'twill lighten
The labors of the day—
Sing at your work—'twill brighten
The da rkness of the way ;—
Sing at your work—thoug h sorrow
Its lengthened shade may cast,
Joy cometh on the morro w—
A sunbeam cheers the blast,
To pain-^a brief domain
Is o'er the spirit gi ven-—
But music ner ves the pinion
That bears .it up to heaven.
Vocal music.
Look at that boy, whose sisters have made home
lwppy—who have been mothers and companions .his
playmates and friends , and who c u n t on his return
from school , arid bear with all his follies , and aie al-
ways waiting round him with offices of love—and
who , as lie grows up, ha\e entered in(o Iuh pleasures
imd his honors. Ivook at such an one in the progress
of life , at colloge , in the world , and pee the differ-
r.noe between him and the boy who has no sister's
love to olioor him—no circla of home enj oyments , of
the purest recollections of his life ; who has no one ,
if lie goes wrong, who will for«ive ,«nd lead him back
itgiiin ; and who , in the midst of the cold selfishness
ol the world, cannot fool that there are always warm
hearts to love him. yes t],e difference between
these two influences will tell on all man 's after life ;
«nd therefore it is that the ri ght education of "hit is,
in a souse , the. .i gjit education of the country.
Influence of Mothers and Sisters.
tgfAn ini'id nnl camo to our knowled ge, snys the
Boston Tinics , in regard to a semnstiess , a year ov
two since , which we will relate in our own sty le:
'Twas on n cold December's night ,—the sleet and
rain wore falling fast , and fiercely blew the wintry
blast,—when , by tho dim unstead y li ght , shed by a
candle burnin g low , 'mid signs of poverty and woe,
there sat a woman at her toil. To lell what scenes
of dire distress had dimmed her youthful happ iness,
were 'noiijj h to make tho heart 's blood boil. So pale
her brow and wan her face , of bean'
ty scarce was
left a trace , for grief had placed its signet there ;
and eyes, that once had sparkled bri ght , had lost
their soft and lustrous light , and all had faded that
was fair. 'Twas sad to see stern poverty so bli ght
lk»t fragile form—exposed to strife , tho ills of life,
the tempest and the storm. Beside her lay, in slum-
bers mild , her onl y tie to earth , her child—and oft to
him she tur ned her eyes, and the unbidden tea rs
would rise; and from the fount of all a mother's love ,
her prayers would mount to Him who rei gns above.
Th en to the task she turned anew , ami feebl y passed
the needle throug h ; but to her feet the garment fell ,
to finished be ere sunrise bell. In vain ! her blind-
ed eyes no more on midni ght toil c«n ever pore.—
Th e dy ing mother fain would cry unto her infant
sleep ing ni gh—b ut wa.-t ed' strength foibidding
speech , she strove in vain her child to reach ; and
finkin g by th e cradle's side, her infant woke , and
feebly cried ;—convulsivel y she strugg led then , and
fell , to never rise again ! The mother's pangs were
over now, and death's cold hand was on her brow.—
Th en shrieked the , child , in terror wild ; no mother
heard its call ;—i ts sobs and moans, and plaintive
tones, unheeded were they all ;—and ere the li ght
of dawning day, th e infant 's life had ebbed away.—
The hard ened tyrant of the poor , soon came and
open ed the widow 's d )or; a death like hue came
o'ur his face—he turned and hurried from the place.
The pa ngs of guilt he well mi ght feel , for heartless
wrongs he ne'er could heal ;— while Wath the sod,
were laid the mother and the child—both blessed of
(iod ,thoug h by the scornful world reviled.

THE subscribers have the pleasure of announcing to
the Musical Public, that they are now manufactur
ing a superior article of Square and Boudoir PIANO
FORTES from 6 to 7 octaves—which combine all the
qualities necessary .
to a good instrument, viz ; sweet
ness and evenness, together with a powerful volume oi
tone and agreeable touch. A guarantee for the excel-
lence of their work,is manifest from the fact that a gold
medal has been presented to them from the Mechanics
Fair , for superior Piano-Fortes—- .a circumstance (with
the exception of Mr. Chickcring) that has not happen-
ed to any other firm in this city, althoug h all have been
represented .
All Instruments are of the first quality, and warrant-

JL al others in the construction of a MARINE RAIL-
WAY, respectfull y soli cits the patronage of those inter-
ested in navi gation , whenever circumstances render it
necessary that their vessels should be "hauled u

p a irs." Said Railway is situated in the safe and com-
modious Bay, known as Lewis' Bay, and a few rods to
the westward of Baxter's wharf, formerl y known as
Gage's wharf, where vessels can find a spacious and safe
harbor , sheltered from the winds at all seasons of the
year. These facts bei ngagreat inducement.for vessels
to winter here, every facility will be at hand for repair-
ing in the spring, the expense of which the subscriber
pledges himself will not exceed what is usuall y charged
at other pla ces. Competent and skillful bla'
cksmiths ,
caulkers, shi p-carpenters, riggers, and sail-makers , can
be em ployed at as moderate prices as elsewhere. Ves-
sels wintering in the Bay wi th the intention of under-
going repair, will be seen to , and their sails stored free
of expense.

"Dr. Stephen Jewctt :
Dear Sir—I speak with confidence , having ustd tf o
Elixir in my own practice *
, and I unhesitating ly recommend
d as a safe, valuable and highly useful family medicine.
I con sider it indeed a family medicine, and a remedy
for Coughs, Colds, and that dreaded disease the Croup,
for which it is far superior to any other preparati on be-
fore the public.
I ha ve used your Health Restoring Bitters in my prac-
tice , and have found them very serviceable in Dyspep-
sia , Humors, General Debility, and particularly in Habit-
ual Costiveness. I consider it one of the best remedies
in use. Yours, &c. IRA RUSSELL, M. I)."

State of New Hampshire.
Temple, N. H., Jan. 17, 1849.
"Dr. S. Jewett :
Dear Sir—1 have examined your Pulmonary Ehtir,
and am well satisfied that it merits the full confidence
of the com munity, as being what it purports to be, M>
efficient and sq/e
'remed y for all the diseases to which
the resp ira tory organs are subject. It may be used witM
much more safety than almost any other article offered
for this purpose , inasmuch as the danger of
^
impaire"
ac tion of those organs , the frequent and legitimise re-
sults of most other remedies of the class, by reason ot
their op iate character , is, by this, entirely ob viated.
The physician who should meet with it in families,
would find it a ready assistant , by which his own labor
in the di spensation of medicine would be obviated , and
his efforts for relief essentially aided.
With much consideration , your obed't servant.

Come, messmates ! 'tis time to hoist our sail j
It's fair as fair can be ;
And the ebbing tide and the northerly gale
Will carry us out to sea.
So down with the boat from the beach so steep,
^
We must part with the setting sun ;
For ere we can spread our nets in the deep,
We've a weary way to ran.
As through the nightjwatches we dr ift about,
We'll think of the times that are fled ,
And of Him who once '
ea"'*' other fishermen out
To be fishers of men instead.
Like us, they had hunger 'ajid cold to bear ;
Rough weather like -u-^nhpy knew;
And He who guarded them b.y His caro
Full often was with tjiem' too.!
'Twas the fourth long wnfeh of a stormy night,
And but little way they had made,
When He came o'er the waters and stood in their sight,
And their hearts were sore afraid :
But He cheer'd their spirits, and said , It is I,
And then they could fear no harm ;
And though we cannot behold him nigh,
He is guarding us still with His arm.

MORAL READINGS.
ITS MORAL AND ISTKM-KCTUAI. BKNKFITS.
We are not afraid to ascribe to the prevalence of
true reli gion , that unmeasured superiori ty in all the
.lenities anil decencies of life , which distinguishes a
Christian nation , as compared to a heathen. We
nsoribe it to nothin g but acquaintance with the i-e-
vrtiled will of God , that those king doms of the earth
which bow at the name of Jesus, have vastl y out-
Biri pped in civilization every other , whether ancient
or modern , which may bo deMgnated pagfln and
idolatrous. If you search for t ile full developement
of the princi ples of civil liberty, for the security of
property, for au even-handed j ustice , for the rebuke
uf jjrnss vices , for the cultivation of social virtues ,
lor the diffusion of si generous care of the suffering,
you must turn to lauds where the cross has been
i-routed ,—.as though Christianit y were, identified
with what is fine in policy, lofty in morals , and per-
manent in greatness. Yea , as th ough the Bible weie
H mighty volume , containin g whatever is requisite
for correcting tho disorders of states , and cementing
the happ iness of families, you find the causing of it
to be received and . read by a peop le is tantamount
to the producin g a thoroug h revolutio n—-a revolu-
tio n , including equall y tlie palace, anil the cottage—
so that every rank in society is mysteriousl y elevat-
ed and furnished with new elements of dignity and
comfort—who, then , will refuse to confess, t hat , even
if regard were had to nothing beyond the. present
scene1, there is no gift comparable, to that of the
Itihh. .
We stand indebted to the Bible for much of intel,
leatual as well as moral advantage . Indeed , the two
go together , Where there is great moral , there will
commonly be great mental degradation ; and the in-
tellect has no fair play while the man is under the
dominion of vice. It is certainl y observable , that in
becoming a reli gious man , an individual seems to
giin a wider comprehension ami a sounder j udg-
ment ; as thoug h , in turning to God, he had sprung
