SUCCESS OF THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT IN
SwEDEN.-From recent number of the Lon
don Quarterly ReOielV we learn that the re-
ligious movement in Sweden has been at
tended with most extraordinary results. Out
of a population of 3,500,0oO the lowest esti-
mate places the number of converts which
have been made, at 250,0o0 Evcry-where
meetings for worship and reading the Scrip
lures are being largely attended; and what
may seem most remarkable is, that the great
mass Of human means employed in this work
has been the pious work of laymen, inspired
for this noble work, not by the love of fame
or lucre, but by the meek and holy spirit Of
their divine master. The moral consequences
of this religious movement have been exceed
ingly gratifying. Drinking has so far ceased
that two-thirds of the distilleries have been
closed. In the parishes bordering on Russia
where nearly every man was guilty of SNUG,
Cling, hundreds of persons have refunded thi
duties Of which they had defrauded the Gov.
ernment, in many cases even selling theil
property to obtain the money. Co De- r

The SECRET OF PRACTICAL SUCCESS
Twenty clerks in store. Twenty hands in
printing Office. All want.to get along in
the world, and all expect TO do so. One Of
the clerks will rise to be partner and make
fortune. One of the compositors will own
a newspaper and become an influential and
prosperous citizen One of the apprentices
will come to be master builder One of
the villagers will get handsome farm and
live like a patriarch. But which is destined
to be the lucky indiyidual2 Lucky? There
is no luck about it. The thing is almost as
certain as the Rule OF Three. The young
fellow who will distance his competitors is
he who masters his business, who preserves
his integrity, who lives clearly and purely,
who never gets in debt, who gains friends by
deserving them, and puts his money in a
savings bank. There are some ways to for
tune that look shorter than this old dusty
highway. But the staunch men Of the COM
mnnity; the men who achieve so me thing
really worth having, good fortune, good
name, and serene old age--all 60 this road.

RECEPTIONS IN RoME.--Harriet Beecher
Stowe says in her last letter: exceptions
in Rome are the finest and peasantest things
possible. As so many are sojourning to-
gether in strange land, there is all the kind
Of freedom of a continual journey or picnic.
o ne discourses about ones rooms, ones tea,
ones bread and butter, ones china, and in
short every thing that belongs TO ones estab-
lishment. One tastes your tea and pro.
uounces il excellent, and asks you where you
got it, and delightedly imparts to you in
return the grand secret of place where you
can find English biscuits. Old residents here
pique themselves on getting up national
dishes out Of the possibilities of Italian
kitchen. Fish-balls and corn-cake, for ex-
ample, have been spoken of at certain break
fasts, Rome is said to be great place for
gossip. We believe it--not. from any pecu-
liar experience Of the kind, but from the
nature Of the case. Gossip is generally one
of the fruits of sociability. II you think
about your neighbors much, you will talk
about them; if you talk about, il turns to gos-
sip, and so doubtless there is much wonder
ing about Mr.. Al apd surmising about Mr.. B.,
which does no harm unless 1t becomes iun-
