THE \VIFE’S APPEAL
You took me, William. when a girl,
Unto your home and IIPZITI,
To hear. in all your.-after life,‘
A fond and faitlifiil part;
And tell me, have I ever tried
That duty to forego,
Or grieved because I hail noioy,
\'i/hen you were sunk in ivoe?
I-‘lo—I would rather share your tears
’ Tlian any other’s glee, ,
For Ill."-ll1__’ll vou’vc ntitlgiiig in the world,
You’ c all the world to me,—-
Ynu make a palace of my shed,
This roiigh liewn bench a throne;
Tlierc-‘s sunlight for me in your smiles,
And music in your tone.
I look upon you when you sleep;
My eyes with tears grow dim;
Icry ‘'0 Parent ofthe poor,
Look down from heaven on him;
Behold him toil from day to day,
Exhausting strengtli and soul:
Oh ! look in mercy o:i him, Lord,
For thou canst makehini whole.”
And when at last reviving sleep
Ilas on my eylids smiled.
Ilow oft are they forbid to close
In slumber, b_v yo-urcliild!
I take the little iiiurniurc-r,
That spoils my span of rest,
And feel it as a part of thee
I lulled upon my breast.
Thtrc's only one return I crave,
I may not need it long;
And it may soothe thee, when I’m where
The wretched feel no wrong;
I ask not fora kinder tone,
For tlioti wert ever kini;
I ask not for less frugal fare-
Iily fare I do not mind.
I ask not for attire more gay,
lfsuch as I have got
Suffice to make me fair to thee,
For more I iiiurtnur not;
But I would ask some of the hours
That you on “eluhs" bestow-—
Of knoivledge which you prize so mucli-
May I not soniething know?
Subzract from meeting ariiong men,
Each eve an hour for me;
Make me companion of your soul,
As I may safely be;
If_vou will read, l’ll sit and work,
Then think when )'our’e away;
Less tedious I shall find the tzmc,
Dear William, ifyou stay.
I
A meet compaiaiori soon l’ll be
For your ll)! st studious hours;
And teacher ofthose little ones
You call your cotiagc.Ilower_s! ,
And if we be not rich and great,
\Ve may be wise and kind,
And as my heart can warm your heart,
So may your mind my mind.

A HEARTLIZSS PERSECUTOR.
The following affecting sketch comes to
us in the hand—writing of :1 correspondent
in Bostori, to wliosc pen our readers have
been indebted for many a pleasant com-
munication. \Ve call upon our friend for
the 7Z(!I7l1f of the prosecutor in the case re’-
ferrcd to. Vt-"c desire to assist in handing
it down to pei'peti2al iizfariiy: There are
scones occ:it'i‘iiig almost daify in our po-
lice court that are well wortliy of more
than a pztssing i'ecoi'tl, if but for the
glimpses they give us of-poor liuinanity
-under some of its more inelanclioly pli.i-
scs.
A week or two since, I happened to
be present. when an Irish woman was bro’t
before one of otir police jiisiiccs on a
teliargc of stealing. She was young, had
-a pleasing and .1{l’.ll(‘l' lmnds-oirie counte-
,iiniice, was clad very tidily, and :'iltogetli-
lei‘ loo;.ct‘l like mic who had seen better
id-ays, and still in her poverty preserved
lsoinc of the pride of that more happy peri-
iod. In her arms she held a little boy of
[some three or four years, with aprofusion
'ofli'ght curly hair clustering about his
‘tciriples, but whose pals cheek and sunkcii
and lustrous eyes told too plainly that Dis-
i'(-asc and pincliiiig Vllaiit had, even thus
leai-ly, iriai-lied him for their own. The
‘mother was cliarged with stealing bread
from the door of a grocer. The complain-
':int, 2: hard-featured slii'ewd-looking man,
lwith along nose and sharp restless eye,
was calfed to the stand. He told a straight
,forward, cii'c.umstantial story,the substance
of which was, that his baker was in the
habit of leaving bread for him at the shop-
tdoor before it was opened in the morning.

more, and once only part ofa roll. Inor-
der to put a stop to these deprcdatioris on
his property, he one morninglay in wait
for the trespasser; when, about daylight,
he saw the prisoner come out of her mis-
crable under ground abode, leading her
sickly boy by the hand. Passing by where
illlS door, took up a roll, and breaking it in
two pieces, gave one to her boy, and re-
stored the other to its place. She then
turned back, when the complainant seized
and hurried her immediately to the watch
cty of the loaf he was so eagerly devour-
testimony.

The two great evils Mr. Alison charges on‘
t'ic American church are, first, want of
independence and faithfulness on the part
of the clergy, in rebuking national‘ sins;
and, second, that it has no‘ ‘gratuitous pro-
vision for the instruction of the poor.”——-
Both of these grow out of the voluntary
system. The minister deriving his sup-
port from the voluntary contributions of
his parish, he dare not do otherwise than
,re-echo their seii_t_i,ments,, while the poor
having nothing wlierétvitli to pay, are be-
'reft of the gospel. ' 1
We might show how false are the im-
pressions in this stateirierit, but in order to
,see the beauty oflllr. Alison’s conclusions,
we will grant for the time being, their
truth, and inquire how much we should
gain by adopting the English plan‘, which
we will allow, is not founded on republi-
canism or subject to its mutations. In the
first place, the character of the Englisl
clergy, as a inass, is lmo\vn,the world over
to be anything but apostolic; and we can-
not see how it could well be otherwise. The
aristocracy of England hold /ialfqf t/ze liv-
ings oft/ze c/zurc/z in their own liands,givi'ng
them to whom they plcase,and their spiritu-
ality and love of plain unpalatable truth, is
known not to be peculiarly strong. No
clergyman, who values his place, -will of-
fend his patron, by showing the abuscs of
the aristocracy and the trcinenduous tax
it levies on the working classes. Besides
the fattest of these li'vi‘ngs are given I6
gthe youngest sons ofthe nobility, through
,family or ininisterial influence, who hire a
fcurate, for a few hundred dollars, to per-
'form the labor while they spend the iii-'
come on the Continent or in London. So
,generally does this custom prevail, that
we fnd it stated in Hansard’s Debates (au-
;thority which ll’Ir.A|ison will not presume
to question) that out of 10,496 clergymén’
fof the established church, only 4,416 re?
,side and labor among their people, while
[(3,080 are out of their places. This naked
,fact more than offsets all he alledges a-
‘gainst us, even iftrue; for if the clergy
Iarc non-residents,it matters not what their
lcharactcr may be ;—-England and the
;world are none the wiser or better for it.

for sale in the London Times, and-to in-
crease its value, it was added that it’ was

two of the first packs of fox houndsin the
