r.1' u, A Lost Opportnully. By Li. AddaNicholB. It came and went so quickly. My sluggish sou) saw Dot The Matter stand an J bs?kc nlng Toward one of bumble lot. And I rose not op to follow, So slow was I to see. Till the help I might have given Forever fled from me. And often I am grieving, And longing &H In vain, For a blessed opportunity Tbat will not come again. Dear Lord, give thine annotating, And make mine eyes to see; And make me swift In doing The work thou glvest me. Excuse* to God. . How sad the delusion that Satan i impressing upon the minds of man; that they can give God an excuse fo non-performance of duty, and th& God will accept it. A greater false hood never existed. When it is nc within our power to perform an acl Kaw/ia if HAfl God does not require u I IlCUtC IV uw not become a duty. But when it i within our power, it becomes a duty and God will accept no excuse for non-performance or that duty. T this position we fear no successful cor tradiction. How little and insignif cant appear the many and trivial ex cuses given when viewed from thi standpoint! Many upon this plea ar found absent from the house of Go on the Lord's Day, absent from th prayer-meeting, and absent from th Sunday School.--Selected. Hannah More bad a good way ( managing tale-bearers. Whenever sh was told anything derogatory to ar other her invariable reply was "Come, we will go and ask if this b true." The effect was sometimes It dlcrously painful. The tale-beare was taken aback, stammered out qualification, or begged that no notic might be taken of the statement. Bu th? cmnd ladv was inexorable; off sb took the scandal-monger to tbe scar dallzed to make inquiry and compai accounts. It is not likely that anj body ever a second time ventured t repeat a gossipy story to Hannah Mor< One would think her method of trea ment would be a sure cure for scanda ?The Standard. An amusing story is reported from cathedral town on the coast of En$ land. For many years half a doze devout old ladies nave been in th habit of going, in fine weather or i foul, to the morning service in tb cold winter. Recently it was deck ed to warm the church ; and tbe ol ladies, with one voice, proteste against the innovation. "We shall t suffocated," they declared. "Wesha be carried out fainting." One morr ing when they arrived for their d< votlons, they found half a dozen stov< set up in different nooks and cornei of the cathedral. In tbe course of th service, therefore, three of the ol . ladies fainted. "We knew how would be," they afterward said to tb - ? ? ? 1?i ii dean, uut tne aean coaiouuutru iuoi by assuring them that the new stove had never Been lighted. All the Jews of Jerusalem are to t united in one congregation. Hitherl they have been divided into three se tlons, a Spanish, a German, and company or poor Jews, supported b contributions from abroad. The first ingrediant in conversatio is truth, the next good sense, the thir good humor, and the fourth wit. DENTAL NOTICE. Dr. S. G. Thomson, OFFICE DP-STAIRS ON McILWAI Corner, Abbeville. 8. C.
