The following INSTANCE of shar

The following instance of sharp prac-
tice, related to us as an actual fact, is en-
trely too good to keep: ii not new it is
worth repetition:
"a distinguished railroad fnancier
banker and member of the church. in
getting up tank in one Of the western
cities, invoked the aid of the Bishop in
making subscriptions to the capital
stock, BY asking the loan of his note on
time for a few thousand dollars, telling
MIN it was mere matter Of form-that
he would not be Obliged to pay it, Sc.
The Bishop complied, and not being a
person that gave any great deal of atten-
ton TO temporal atfairs,and not overbur-
denel with the ready" his note having
been passed to the hands of broker
banker of the inancier, was as a matter
of course protested for ron-payment
when it became due. Our financial
friend. who had kept watch on the note,
now goes quietly and with much appa-
rent secresy to a brother member of the
church, and with benevolence beaming
on his countanance, informs him that
the Bishops note is lying at the bank
under protest. This is too bad says
he, "5ut nothing must be said about ii /;
we must take up the note" and | will
head the subscription with $50" The
requisite amount was soon raised, and
the Bishops note paid. The fnancier
made his bank stock clear at cost of
$50 only, and at once took position in
the opinion of his fellow members, as a
pillar of the church. ."-New York Ere

the manufactures of life have stopped
forever the human system has run down
at last every gland Of the system has
ceased its functions. In almost all dis.
ease the liver is the first mandatory
that stops work; one by one the'others
follow, and all the fountains Of life are
at length dried up. there is no secretion

SHERIDAN KNOWLES IN THE PULPIT.
a foreign correspondent of the Christian
lFatchmaH, writes that being on a recent
visit to London. aud seeing it announced
that Sheridan Knowles was to preach he
went to hear him. He says:
"lou are aware that he was formerly
a play-actor and play-writer, also that a
few years since he was converted, united
with the Baptist denomination. and be-
came a preacher. He is an older person
than | anticipated seeing; should think
him well-niSh three score and ten, and
he was inhrm in his tread; but his eye
was as brigh' and his voice as clear and
musical as ever. The sermon was good.
but lost much of its power because he
read every word of ii; and English
people do not like written sermons The
reading of the hymns, the Scriptures,
and his prayers, l shall not soon forget.
His scripture, the chapter commencing
with Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,
was read as | never heard it read before.
The congregation well night arose from
their seats. His utterance thrilled every
heart-he seemed to make it a living
word. 1t was undoubtedly a favorite
chapter of his since he hardly referred to
the Bible during its rehearsal. After
the sermon, he closed with prayer-the
Lords Prayer-and never before did l
hear it so efectually offered; such an
enunciation, such an attenuation, such
pathos, is indescrible; and as his own
heart scared heavenward, the hearts of
his congregation accompanied it"
