TI[IS LITTLb SMAID'S SERMON.
A little maid, in a polo blue hood,
In front of a Largo brick building stood,
As she passed along her quick eye spied
Some wends on a littlo box inscribed ;
'Twas a box that hung in the vestibule,
Outside the door of the Charity School.
"Remember the poor 1" were the words
she spelled,
Thon looked at thjediroo her small hands
hold
For chocolate creams were fresh that day
In the store just only across the way 1
But gleams of victory shone o'er her face,
As she raised her eyes to the "money
place."
But her arm was short and the box so
high,
That a gentleman heard, who wan pass-
ing by,
"Please, sir, will you lift me just so
much ?"
(For the tiny fingers could almost touch,)
The stranger stopped, and he quickly
stood
By the sweet-faced child, in the pale
blue hood.
As he lifted her, she gently said,
"?-" •1d you mind it, sir, 0 you turned
your head ?
For, you know, I do not want to be
Like a proud, stuck-up old Pharisee I"
He humored the little maid, but a smile
Played o'er his face, as he stood there
the while.
"Excuse me, child ; but what did you
say ?"
The gentleman asked, in a courteous
way,
As he took in his her wee, white hand,
"I believe I didn't quite understand."
"Oh I sir, don't you know ? Have you
never read,"
Said the child, amazed, "what our Sav-
iour said ?"
"Wo shouldn't giro like those hypocrite
mon,
Who stood in the market places then,
And gave their alms, just for folks to toll
Because they loved to bo praised so well,
But give for Christ's sake, from our littlo
store,
What only he sees, and nobody more,
"Good-bye, kind sir, this is my way
home ;
I'm sorry you'll Have to walk Mono,"
TIM gentleman passed along, andthought
Of large sums given for fame it brought,
And he said, "1 never again will be,
In the market -places, a Pharisee I

A New Year's Letter.
Dear Friend,—This comes hop.
ing that you are quite well, as it
leave* mo at present. I wish you a
happy new year, and .1 think you
will get it if you aro a new man.
Certainly those who oro right with
God have a right, to be happy,.
True religion and a swilling face
e, good match. We need not be as
solemn as owls, nor as grave as
tlonheys, Don't you believe for a
moment that all the finch at:; the
fun have gone over to the wrong
aide l there is more joy in ono
ounce of grace than in a tots of sin.
TIM initial of fools ntnkes a groat
deal of no180, but there's very little
in it; it le like a fire of therm
under it pott ; there's a lino blaze
and ti good Ileal of eraokhng, but
the pot never boils, We oan bo
jolly . without the cant, and we can
keep our epirite up without pouring
spirits down, That's a poor joy
which dies a8 8001 Ile the fiddle

They ray the times aro hard, but
I fanoy men'tt hearts aro hanger,
Tradespeople tell .me they are Bel-
ling everything at lees than they
gave for it, and, as far as I can 800,
they are living well on their losses.
I pity them more than I eau tell.
As for a ploughman, or any labor-
ing man in full work, the times are
well enough if he will but believe it.
Every thing i8 cheap that ho and
his children can really waub; unarm
)for other thiuge, it is cheaper etill

gods further now than it ever did
before in my lifetime, except when
Patrick dropped it into the sea.
Give me couetaut work, and 1 eau
do very well. It will not run to
duck and green pone, but there's
always plaiu food, and plenty of it,
Dainties make dearth, but simple
fare is not rare.
Two thingsmany people want,
thrift and faith, I believe, my
friend, that you are it thrifty soul ;
and if so, you know that a lot of our
neighbors are very much the other
way, Whatever they get, away it
goes directly. Yee, and it often
gods before they get it. They roast
the lamb before it is born, and eat
the chicken before it is Latched.
When rainy days some they haven't
even the stick of an umbrella to
to hold up. If there e a frost for
more than a week, they take to beg-
ging, for they haven't a penny to
bless themselves with. You might
get as much by shaving an egg 11,3
by asking for their savings. Their
thrift and the wool of a dog would
make ram cloth. but thorn wo:tld
not be ]ouch of it. Economy is un
estate, but they will have none of it.
A penny in their pocket soon jumps
out for want of company. You
couldn't make some fellows rich if
you gave them a thousand a you,
for they would be eiere to spend
ntnepenoe morn than' they have
coming in., Waste is dreadfully
common, and when a tub leaks you
cannot keep It full. Laziness has
not quite loft the country either;
there are plenty who wear out more
eboote and shoes, idle fellows not
worth their keep, even if they could
live Like ct goose on the common.
The other tiling that Is greatly
needed is trust iu God. Trus relig-
ion is the salt of life, and for want
of it many a mall goes rotten. How
can a man deal right with men if he
has no fear of God 2 Ile that be-
lieves in the Lord Jesus Chriet unto
salvation is on tho right road, and
every step he takes is forward to
holiness and to heaven. If you
trust yourself you trust a fool. Our
own good works, if we have any,
will never buy us a plane in glory ;
but we have no really good works
till wo get a new heart, and nobody
can give us a new heart but the
Lord Jesus. You cannot make a
lantern shine by rubbing the out.
side; what is wanted is to Dandle
within. If we come to Joule by
faith Le will put a heavenly light
within us, and make all things now
about us. Then shall we bring all
our troubles to God, aud leave
them there, and we shall be no
puppy as tho days are long in June,
My friond, 1 pray that you may
leap with joy all through this leap
yoar, and never limp with fear, nor
fall with folly. Your old friend,
