A sermon with great breadth nd sweep is never long, one that has leiiher height nor denth is h#vop liort. "It is a belief in the Bible, the fruits f deep meditation, which has served tie as i be guide of my moral and literay life. I have f-aiud it a capital afely invested and richly productive if interest." "The Bible is a book of faith, and a took of doctriue, and a book of morals, ,nd a book of religion, of special revelition from God ; but it is also a book vhich teaches niau his own individual espousibility, his owu dignity and quality with his fellow-men." A mixture for removing grease spots larticularly from men's clothiug, is otnpored of four parts alcohol to one >art ammonia and about half as much thpr nm mnnio A nnlfr f ha HaihA <-a he spots ami theu rub diligently with i sponge and clear water. The alcohol iiid ether dissolves the grease, and the immonia forms a lather of it, which is vashed out with the water. In cramps a hot drink will often ivail; it from chill, apply hot red flanlei or a mustard paste. Camphor or ammonia applied to the nostrils of a fainting person will often evive them. Success in life is not so much a mater of talent or opportunity as of concentration and perseverance. Worldly men say, "I can forgive, out I cannot forget"?a mere hollow parody upon the trut spirit of Christian forgiveness. Learn to greet your friends with a smile.

I was preaching about the. Father's tender wisdom in caring fori us all," he said. "J illustrated by saying that the Father knows which of us grows best in sunlight and which of us must have shade. 'You know you plant roses in the sunshiue,' I said, 'and heliotrope aud geraniums, but if i you waDt your fuchsias to grow they must be kept iu a shady nook.' After the sermon, which I hoped would be a comforting one, a woman came up.to me, her face glowing with a pleasure Ithat was evidently deep and true. '(), 'Dr. Blossom, I am so grateful for that sermon,' she said, clasping my hand i and shaking it warmly. My heart j glowed for a moment, while I wondered what tender places in her heart and [life 1 had touched. Only fora moment, : though. 'Yes,' she went on fervently, I "I never knew before what was the I matter with my fuchsias.''' It is our privilege to take refuge ! where the world is wont to fear. What 1 perfect love casts out our growing love I already robs of terror. We have trusted i in God's mercy, let us also trust hisjusI tice, who stands committed in Christ to our salvation. We have claimed our i Lord's compassion, we may also remem ! ber that it would be inconsistent with j his self-respect to allow the least of those who trust him to go down to death. The consuming fire itself becomes our refuge when we consider that it is not the will of our Father in heaven that "oue of these little ones should perish." Humanity presents different aspects, according to the eyes with which we look upon it. For our own satisfaction aud peace of mind, if for no other | reason, we should cultivate that view of it which teaches us more of the virtues than the vices of men and women, more of their nobleness and .and generosity thau of their debase ment and self-seeking. And we can do this only when we surround ourselves with friends and intimates whose mental influence upon us is sound and wholesome. There are no compensations in life; more delightful aud soul satisfying! than those that come from service and ! sacritice for the welfare of our fellow-1 meu. ... It lias never troubled me to be in the minority. If you want | real genuine pleasure in a battle go in 1 with a minority on some great principle affecting the welfare of society. You feel the bracing of muscle and nerve, the rising of the will power, thej determination not to go down. It is glorious. We are apt to think that time wears lout the guilt of sins, but to God they are as fresh as yesterday, aud therefore nothing wears them out but rej pentance. jRUBIN Calls your attention to the fa 'I -ggja 1st of J1 Heerard ess w - ; | Call a id see us before you buy.

When I bear of a man and a farmer "supporting" his wife, it giveB me that ' tired feeling" that no patent medicine can cure. Did you?any of you fellow-citizens?(just think for a minute) support her? Indeed, if she was the house girl you would have to pay her at least $2 per week and she would do nothing but the house work. But the average farmer's wife raises poultry enough to clothe herself and children and the eggs she sells provides the groceries and household expenses. He puts money into fine stock, furm macliinervand more land, rarely iriviug any of it to her and he growl's like a bear if she happens to need anything or "just a little money." But he in supporting her, she is his wife and he has a right to be hateful. Another thing ; a farmer's daughter when she is married, usually has a cow and a horse. Now the usual rule is putting out stock at half the increase, but does a farmer's wife get it ? Not much. He hardly remembers to get her a birthday present, and if he does, it is something needful?as he says, "something useful"?a pair of shoes or maybe a calico dress. How I hate and detest such presents ! It seems to me like giving a preacher a donation and taking it out of bis salary. If a woman does the housewoik, cares for the sickly pigs and lambs and a calf, raines a man's children and teaches them all the virtue she knows, doesn't she earn every blessed cent she gets? Let her die. and him hire a housekeeper, and then be will see what a helper he has lost; that she saved him money, and earned as much as he did and he was not supporting her at all, I hat it was a partnership affair aud that the had earned fully half, but didn't get it because be was enjoying the manly privilege of supporting her." You may not be able to leave your children wealth or the inheritance of a great name or eminent social advantages ; but you can leave them the results of fidelity and precious memories of devotion to the holy task of trying to make them know what God says to us in the Old and New Testaments, and what he wauts us to believe and to do and to be. i In how many ways can we serve the Lord ? Brother, sister, do you know of more than two ways?to the souls aud bodies of the people? We may worship God in many ways, in public aud private, by prayer, song, preach-, ing, listening, and other acts of devo-l tion, but we serve God only as we minister 10 me souis ana ooaies or oar brethren after the flesh. Unless we serve God, our acts of worship are meaningless and fruitless. Money cannot do it all. None of the indispensable gifts, of God can be purchased with it. Air, life, and above all, eternal life, are only to be had as gifts. ict that this stock must be closed out by LNUARY. of Prices.
