CHARITY. It' bath been beautifully said, that \Charity covereth a multitude bf sins.\ This virtue, considered in its best' and worthiest -Bense, is tbe very nobtest that adorns humanity. It haA been called a f \cardinal virtue ; aad well does it deserva this prominence and lb the bright array of attendant spirits that wait upon us here, np fairer form appears than that of'all-emhraping Charity, Its face is radf&at with thai sentiment whose mission tfpon- earih is ocFe of mercy only; its voice is uttered in tones of benediction ; 1 ife\ey#is>rei*§eekibg for objects that it mA* AnflP bleas-; i<W \is' ever beating in earnest sympathy wiH all who need its - tfndly ministrations it is alwitv# upon those 'eriisitds bf love and good-wiil, which hare mSadfe it welcome eveiy where. in tlje World. dhArity, which St. PAnl dtf- olares to be the greatest bf that trinity of *jhich includies.Faith and Hope ; which he preached perpefbatly fo All maa J kind fwhich was the iftSpiratiob of his great soul, when, wandering the earth be endortfd hunger, and thirst, and pain, Ad suffering in ev rv form. 1 Charity, wbicb is kindness, is merey, is love tb ail. It stands at tbe altar of every household in the world, and dispenses peace,, and hope, and joy to all around. It binds their/ihmates together; by a bond whose g&atie-influence bears undisputed sway ; lit shacks iha way ward passions, and sub- i fduea them into Ailebce ;? it Wds the'angrjr thought to forgive and be'forgive-it de- f cia*fiß.'the authority ef parental Control and lbve ; itpraupts the maternal year»- ing that .Willi' sacrifice life itself to savp frbm danger the idol of its heart ;< it pa- 'Ciently rurturee from i Afaney -to fitoboodj never-abating' for - a momebt its tender \Case; it watches with eager joy the un- folding faculties ef tbe youthful mind,-, wbicbjgive promise for the future ;it chides, 'it admonishes, it supplicates; that the ob- ject of its love may never wander, ndr be lost,; it breathes to Heaven \the most ,resistiedsprayer of'humau hbma»e,\ that, ,-its, constant cAee - may 'be ever about tbe form so well beloved. In sicknesj it- at- tends with nntiring thought and vigilance at the couch where are garnered so many hopes, and ia tbe first to utter its heartfelt thanksgiving for recovered health and strength. But its mission is not'confined to. the circle oI home and kindred alone. Its influence is wide spread, like the hea- vens above us, like itself,' Which gently-envelopes every living thing like tbd lights which gratefully reveals to the gladdened sight tbe object which Were hid from view,, like the voices of na- ture, \vhidh charm the soal with un- ceasing melody. No boundaries 'of life or caste,- no obligations of clime or coun- try, no plea of selfishness, or avarice, or want, can avail for one moment against its rightful, undisputed claim to service and support It demands tie tribute of universal man, for its blessings are dis- pfenadd 'everywhere, and to every condi- tion of our race. From tbe moment of df Q»if birth we become tbe subjects of its gfcntle.ifcbQUght; through all our lives we guardianship and love, and the very graves wherein we are laid ai lagt are tooistened by its tears. But its offices embrace even much more than these we have described. The glowing record of inspiration awards to Charity alonebigher honors than mortal tongues can utter; it declares that all gifts are vain and worth- less without thib crowning -glory bf our being; it. declares that \Cbarity nfcveT failetb f that, A*hen aU eke shall have passed away, the spirit of sublime Charity BhalLnot be lost to uson earth ; it is ex- alted above its Kindred virtues of Faith HudLHppn, and placed alone upon the' ithrooeo/Jife-j it declared .that, with every other faoulty in our possession, even witb power to \remove: mduntaibB.'' Mwithout Charity we are as nothing.\ / \u25a0;. f Amid the relations of sbcialintercourse : aso, does Charity miuister with most beneficent effect v does it shine with a brighten or steadier lustre. This ifttiie scene..,jtadeed, where som« of its greatasti tijiumphs haira been, scbieted and wb emits vaiee of.kindly justice has [ often snatcheditfe victim from the rack. It is within the charmed cifole of society itself that the shafts of rofVice are often lauAebed?; that detraction and envy per- - form their deadly work uncontradicted ; that the absent one becomes tbe prey of the envenomed tongue .of slander ; that purity itself is ruthlessly stripped of its robes of beauty, and concerted fnto an object of bitter reproach abd shame. Thee !itl-i8 that -Charity, which \tbinketh no .i evil,\ gently interposes, and tarns Aside the wrong that wcmld otherwise drekroy'j rescues.the intended vfcfim of ? falsehood, and restores it to strength) and p#«ee, and, safety. But passing again pale [ of social life, let us trace its labors upon I' thewider fields wherein tb«y are employ- ed?to the shivering outcast, Wbb itf rags ouf aid ;to tbe soul strickeb «*ithr disease, tirbo ask s for Words bf com' fort only; to heart broken with ldftiaM tionwhich has riven it asunder; to the forpt of t yboAbful innocesee, despoiled of parental guardianship, and bvlpfesflinthe to* tthe- mother/ ? weeping'at tbe grawffof her baried treasure,;:to the Wife, a*boss stay and strength havebeen -re- moved, leaving her to struggle alone amid the stothiS of life ;? to thefriend, k ! whefee loved companion has passed from to-lbe >vlctiSi o# mjustibe; when there eaemS none to avenge itfe wrbng ; to tbe biipd verging to despair while hope is perisbing-; to the -wounded soldier on tbe field, whose crimson tide Of life iefest ebbing away ; 'to tbe sbipwrecked wander- er, whw>hAs gamed the shorer to fall ex- hausted on its sands ; to the*p)dAo(Fon in bis eell, whose weary dAys and yeazb are? to be iendiWed away ft om every charm of life-; 'to tbe wretched felon, about to ex- patiate his crime by the surrender ef 'bis being ; to the nnfortuhate, aad stricken, and; miserable everywhere through the world ?to all of these ii the voice ef gent- lest Charity constantly addressed. In its wanderings it has visited* tbemT ,| tp has proyed a friend aad cqmfwter ; \nevftrweary ofite wefl-doing,\ but stimn- lated' only to increased exertion by each hew sbbnd of distress. It can never die, for it was placed at our side as a minister- ing spirit forever,*and although the.pro- miaes of life so pften perplex and deceive; we have herein the Divine assurance itself* that Charity shall never fail upon the 1 earth. f . .
