I WOULD NOT BE THE ONE. BY FINLEY JOHNSON. I btn not be the one to cast proach wu) a heart; Wiket tn the cores of hema Iife, From viriue should depart. But kindly unto it I'd speak, And chase away Itz sadness ; And change its 30-row, grief and pain, To pleasuze, hope gladness. For oh, "Jere are some loving souls Borved down by sin and care ; W*sich we might save, by one kind word, = Feom yield Ge despair ; “and by sweet, Kind, ard tones, *. We may dispel life’s gloom, And strew, with holy fiowers of love, ‘The pathway to the tomb. Ah me '-Ah me, why will we gaze -. Within a brother’s heart; And pass, unnoticed, by the good, ‘To scan the baser part? ‘Lhey see, with Vision dark and dim, Fill naught without looks fair; For love and truth must inward lie Jiefore Lhey’re seen elrewhere. Then if thy brother should offend, And give thy bosom pain ; Receive him with the arms of love, Unto thy heart again ; Let not ais soul, by unkind words, s repose be driven ; ‘xive, forgive,” the spirit cries, ; As thea weuld’st be forgiven |’?

In the rear of the cesspool is w gate, which is completely masked by it. * While a majority of the boys wore up stairs going through their religious exercises, uuder the tustructious of the Rey. Mr. Brown, the seerctary of the bonrd, a few of the old hands, aod most incorrigible vagabonds, secreted themselves ia the rear of the cesspool and out of the observation of the officers, and managed & cut away the bar that secured the gate.
