This is indeed and truly a day hard times, we hear the cry at ail times, and everywhere. During Ihe past month leins, bank notes, guano notes, &e., I having become due, many oi the planters i were obliged to put ihclr short crop of cotton i upon the market, and take a price below the j cost of production, the demands against them have not been fully met, even when, as i in some Instances, tliev have also given up i their stock. What Is to be the outcome, no < one can teil. A Jew days ago there was found in my yard a ten cent piece, coined in 1833, how it i came there or where it came from cannot be determined.

Smart the Baptist church at large nnd especially congregation and community, have sustained a loss of one of their most useful and earnest ministers, whose place will be hard to fill. 2.

The evil which appears to necessitate war is in its turn fed bv war, and never are these evils so manifest as in the midst of actual warfare. It matters not how much of this world's good things people may have, nor where they live, nor how long they may live, they <ann<>t have solid contentment without having peace with God. People cannot be brought out of sin nor educated out. but only loved out. "God so loved the world." That i* the kenote of redemption and must guide and sustain the song to its finishing chord. Divine grace, even in the heart of a snful man, is invincible. Drown it in the waters of adversity, it rises more beautiful, as not being drowned indeed but only washed ; throw it into the furnace of fiery trials, comes out purer, and looses nothing but the dross Truth is often unbearable because the soul to whom it comes is not true. To an untrue soul the truth itself is untrue. P"?Little Bertie, two and a half years old, was looking out of the window one evening at the stars. He had never observed them carefully before.

Lawes, who has recently returned to England from the South Sea Islands, says: "At the first missionary meeting held at Port Moresby, New Guinea, a few months s ago, men metwithin the walls of God's house who, when I first knew them, I never came together except it) strife - and war. One of them in a speech picked up a spear and said: 'Thisi ; used to be ourconstant companion, we : dare not visit our gardens without it, we took it in our canoes, and carried it on our journeys, we slept with it by I our sides, ar d took our meals with it 1 at hand ; butnow,' holding up a copy , ot tne uospeis, 'we can 9ieep souDaiy , because of this, and this book has brought us peace and protection, and . we have no longer need for the spear i and the club." Under the influence and teaching of God's Word I have seen murderers and cannibals become men of peace, I have seen the > shameless thief and robber become honest, I have seen the lascivious and filthy live a chaste and pure life, I have seen the quarrelsome and selfish become kind and generous; but I have never heard of such results from any human agency, nor from any other than that Word, the entrance of which giveth light, and the reception of which is the power of God unto salvation."? Peace aud Goodwill IIoiv to Keep Your Temper. Ruskin in a letter to young girls says: "Receive the thing that is provoking or disagreeable to you, as coming directly from Christ's hand; and the more it is like to provoke you, thank him for it the more, as a young soldier would his general for trusting him with a hard place to hold on the rampart. And remember that it does not in the least matter what happens to you?whether a clumsy school-fel low tears your oress or a snrewa one laughs at you, or the teacher doesn't understand you. The one thing that does matter "is that none of these things should vex you. "Say to yourself eachjmorning, j st after your prayers, 'Whoso forsaketli not all that be hath cannot be my disciple.' This is exactly and completely true, meaning that you are to give all you have to Christ to take care of it for you. Then if he doesen't take care of it, of course you know it wasn't worth anything. If he takes anything from you, you know you are better without it. You will not, indeed, have to give up houses and lands, or boats or nets; but you may, perhaps, break your favorite tea-cup or lose your favorite thimble, and might be vexed about It, but for this second Saint George's precept."?Se'ected. Golden Saying of Jesus.?Love your enemies. I am the light of the world. Do not your alms before men. Take no thought for your life. Thy faith hath saved thee: go in peace. 1 Re of irood cheer, thv sins be for given thee. Blesscl are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. If the world hate you ye know that it hated me before it hated you, Whosever will be chief among you let him be your servant. Let not your heart betrouble: ye believed in God believe also in me. Come unto me all ye lhat labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. ? When and What to Read.?If you are impatient, sit down quietly and have a talk with Job. If you are just a little strong-headed go to see Moses. If vou nre cettinjr weak-kneed, take a look at Elijah. If there is no song in your heart,listen to David. If you are a policy man read Daniel. If you are getting sordid spend awhile with Isaiah. If your faith is below par read Paul.
