The Bible contemplates no such provision for the poor. The only passage that appears to lavor the doctrine is found in the Acts of the Apostles, in the account uiven of the wonderful manifestations of God's spirit, and the conversion of thousands in a day,—where it is said " And all that believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and parted therri to all men as every man had need." There certainly was a remarkable spirit of liberaliiy exhibited by the church at this time. The occasion was one that called for it. A large proportion of those converted were poor and from home. They could not re. main in Jerusalem without help. Provision was made for them. They had a common fund into which many, prompted by their liberal feelings, cast all they had. All did not do so. It was not necessary h it they should. Some professed to do so who did not ; Ananias and Supphira were among them. Their sin consisted not in refusing to give, but in lying unto God. In giving to the poor special care should be exercised. If we have anything to give it is a pity to throw it away on unworthy objects when there are so many that are worthy, aud very needy. A lew suggestions on this subject may not be amiss.

The best thing we can do lor vagrant beggars (who are liable to imprisonment) is to give or find them employment. But in nine cases out of ten they will prefer begging to working. There is very little charily tn giving to them except when you are acquainted with their circumstances. If they nre truly worthy there will be no necessity for their strolling over the country to beg. ISJisciUanir. - JOB WOHK.

It costs some lime and trouble to visit them. It is easier to have them come to us, but not best. The design ol charity is not simply to relieve present distress, but to reform, to benefit permanently. The distress ol the poor often arises from ignorance. They do not know how to live—to make the most of what they have, to help themselves. Advice kindly given, and a little attention, may be of more service than many loaves of bread.

The Bible everywhere condemns in severe terms the oppression of the poor and the inordinate love of riches, but in it the rights of property are as clearly acknowledged as in Blackstone or Story, and laws for its protection are clearly defined.— They lie at the foundation of social peace and piosperitv, and of all civil govern menu.

Help those who try to help themselves. God helps such. It is better to keep one family from becoming beggars than to feed a thousand that are auch. It is more an not of charity to help a boy to earn a shilling than to give him fifty, A father dies and leaves his children destitute. Do not suffer them to become beggars, nor a "town charge.'' Encourage them to help themselves, and as far as possible without intrenching on the feeling of independence, help them to help themselves, and in a little time they will do so, and more, they will retain those feelings of aclf-respect that are essential to independence, manliness, and usefulness. Help the drunkard's wife, who struggles to keep her children from beo8ming street beggars. The calamity .she seeks to avert is one of the most terrible that could befal them. The child is unfortunate who has a drunken father, but that misfortune is increased tenfold, if in consequence of it, the child becomes a beggar. The plan proposed in the Word of God for the support of the poor is by means of voluntary contributions. Giving to the poor is a prominent Christian duty, and is designed to be a reciprocal billing, to those who give and to those ivho receive, although it is more blessed to give.

These collections wenfrequent, and even those who were themselves poor gave liberally and cheerfully. It was evidently regarded as a primary Christinn duty. It is so recognized by the church rtill.but no tacted on to the extent it «DCoitld he. The church has been derelict in duty in regard to the poor. Had she Deen faithful in carrying out the iiiHtruc■ton given her on this subject there would have been no necessity for our poor laws. This was the judgment of Or.

Fine churches and eloquent preaching for the rich, and no Gospel for the poor.

A parent may, as far as the distribution of his property is concerned, make his children equal, but he could not with any show ol jubtice attempt to keep them equal by taking Irom the industrious and frugal and giving to the indolent and wasteful. This would be unjust, and a certain way of impoverishing all. A civil community is a family on a largo scale, its laws should not discriminate in favor of any class ol persons, all should have an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness, the avenues to wealth and distinction should be alike open lo all ; but laws that would equalize property among men would cli'ectually cut the nerves of all exertion and destroy ambition the great lever of society and of progress. 2. The idea never has been carried out successfully. History affords no example of it. It is a question whether the agrarian laws of Home ever oonflioied with the right of private property. They grew out of a disposition on the part of government to distribute lands taken in war, among soldiers and others. They were also de. signed to aot as an inducement lo the poor to leave the city and turn their attention to the cultivation of the soil. There was indeed an attempt made to extend these laws so as to divide the estates ol the rich among the poor, but it was regarded as un just and did not sucoeed. Cicero, making " If this outpouring of geoerostty—in itself so noble and fitting—should have the tendency to weaken the independence or self-reliance of our working classes, we have done a wrong to them, worse than the pains even of the most biiter want. It is • very dangerous thing to give without 'return to a supplicant. It is to difficult to avoid trenching on the self-respect, independence or manliness of one you relieve. We had almost belter have the crisis of starvation in our streets, than the whinings of a continuous false and weak and effeminate beggary. This will not neoessariiy be the result of these generous charities. If carefully managed it will certainly not bo. But the liberal donors and alms-givers on every aide must beware. Do not, on any considera tion, degrade or weaken the recipients of your bounty. Let them feel the bitirigs of poverty father than become dependent pensioners on you. Remember that the first and last object of charity is not relief but reform ; the influence on character.— If your supplicant be a man. give him work—uny work—-if onljr blacking your boots or cleaning your Walks, as some basis for bestowing your money ; if a woman, see that she does something in return or if that i« impossible, at least sea that it be not misspent; if a Child, connect all your gifts with education 01' some permanent influence, as is tbe efforts with oiir Children's Aid Society, Promise the clothes, or the food, er the money as the attendant on going to school. Tire adventurous party readied a small eminence at some distance Irom the British camp, and commanding an extensive prospect over the adjacent country. Here Morgan halted to give his men a little rest, before taking up his line of march to the American outpost*. Scarcely had they thrown themselves upon the grass, when they perceived issuing from the enemy's advance pickets a body of horse*, and proceed along the road (hat led directly to the spot whew the riflemen .had halted. No spot could be better chosen for an ambuscade, lor there were rocks and ravines, and also scrubby oaks, that grew thickly on the eminence by which the road which we haVe mentioned passed, and not exceeding a hundred yards. " Do#n, hoys, down," cried Morgan, as the horses approached ; nor did tho clans men of the Black Roderick disappear more promptly amid their native heather than did Morgan's woodsmen in the present instil nee, each to his tree or rock. " Lie close there, my lads, till we see what these fellows are about." Meantime, the horsemen had gained the height, and the officer dropping tne rein on the charger's neck, with spy glass reconnoitred the American lines. The troops closed up tfceir files, and were either ca reasing the noble anirrials they rode, adjusting their equipments, or gazing upon the surrounding scenery, now fast bright eniqg in the beams of the rising sun.
