AjBOther had had but one suit in nia? year?. - Another preaches in a seeotkl-ftsneVcoat of bottle-green, and - although Mrs. Spurgeon naively says, - abe doe? not suppose that his sermons are deteriorated by his bottle-green j garments, she thinks he would have . modest share of self-respect if he had ybeeoming apparel and a five-pound note in his pocket. Some write her that they have not * nada religous periodical or a book in five years, and are "tired of contin? ually poring over the same pages " A good lady in Scotland bethought herself that a soft woollen shawl would be accepfab?e along with books for the ministers. After the first shawl bid been sent a letter came stating that Mrs. G. had cnt up her only . .bawl to make a wrap for her husband in the cold weather, and now, when the winter came again, there was no money to buy one for the self sacrific? ing wife. How thankfully, then, did they receive Mrs. Spurgeon's unex? pected gift. Two lonely widows spend all their time in making dozens of flannel un? dergarments to be sent with the books. On Mrs. Spurgeon's birth? day, sometimes a bank-note is wrap? ped around the card of good w isl iee. On her .silver wedding day, Nellie, ? eleven year? oil, and the daughter of a minister, sent ali she had, a silver halfcrown, hoping that she could .end more on Mr. Spurgeon's golden wedding day. A nother sent twenty Bind ?tamps. A touching letter came febar recently upon the death of a i poor sewing woman.

If his bands fall through weak? ness, I shall have great reason to blame myself, unless I sustain him by my prayers and roy presence. 4. By staying away I may lose the prayers which bring God's bless? ing, and tiie sermon that would have done me great good. 5. ?

Among ihe crowds of pleasure seekers, J see that no weather keeps the delicate female from the ball, the party, or the concert. 9. Among other blessings, such weather will show me on what foun? dation my faith is built, lt will prove how much I love Christ;? - True- love rarely fails to meet an appointment. - hO. Those wlio-sfay from Church beca ase ot is too wami or too cold, or too rainy, frequently absent them selves on fair/Sundays. IL Though my excuses satisfy myself, they still must undergo God's scrutiny ; and they must be well grounded to bear that. (St. Luke xiv. 18.) 12. There is a special promise, that where two or three meet togeth? er in God's name, he will be iu the midst of them. *13. An avoidable absence from the Church is an infallible evidence of spiritual decay. Disciples first follow Christ at a distance, and then, likedPeter,' do not know him. ??, My faith is to - be shown by my se?f- deny mg Christian life, and not by rise^r fall of the thermom? eter. r 15. Such yielding to surmounta? ble iliffi cul ties prepares, for yielding to those rmerely ?imaginary, until thousands never enter a church, and yetr?h?jsk they ha$ve good reason for such neglect.

THEES 'TEES FI3E IS OUT. Magic No More a Mystery-Seen Prom Across the World. Haroun of Aleppo,' said Sir Philip Derra!, Miad mastered every secret in nature which the nobler mugil seeks to fathom.

What life itself is, nobody knew then-no? body, knows now. B::t we hare learned something of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises and falls. Provided the great or? gans of the body are not irreparably destroy? ed, medical science can always relieve, and often save. Yet <no reputable physician now adheres to the barbarous and stupid processes of depletion, such ns bleeding, by which it was attempted to cure disease by reducing the patient's ability to resist it Now-a clays we do not tear down tue fort to help the gar? rison-we strengthen it. In this intelligent and beneficent work, it is conceded that Parker's Tonic leads all other ! medicines. As an inrigorant it acts im- J mediately and powerfully upou the circula- j tien and the organs of digestion, thus giving Nature the assistance she calls for.
