APPEAL TO CHRlsTIANs.-The present,
we need hardly say, is season of tempta-
ton, such as oul country never knew be-
fore. In the army, and in every neigbbor-
hood, the means of grace are interrupted,
or the snare of business and the seductions
of vice are multiplied. Souls are trembling
on the verge Of the precipice 1! are falling
over What means it, then, oh Christian,
that you are not working for their salvation
with greater vigor, but with less ! Have
grown Indifferent to their eternal welfare !!
Are you cousenting to their destruction ?
Awake to the rescue. This is no time for
the obstructive maxim of the tortuous Tai
leyrand, +" never dc to-day what can be
done Tomorrow" There is not the slight
est guarantee that the work can be done
tomorrow which you neglect to do to-day
There is in many, Oh how many cases, the
fullest assurance that it cannot For multi
tudes in the army and at home, the season
of hopeful efort-the season of effort with
or without hope-is NOW, OR NEV-

Striking TEMPERANCE Story.

An intelligent, wealthy man, who did
not drink 10 society, nor habitually at
home, had a room in his mansion in which,
as often as three or four times a year, he
would gorge himself with liquor. When
he found his craving for rum coming on,
he would lock himself up in the room
until the spree was finished. The appear
ance of this room at the close of one of
these sprees, was disgustingly filthy. A
friend who knew his habits, demonstrated
with him, but was told that reform was
impossible, SO irresistible was his craving
for rum, at certain times. His friend beg
ged him to try: His two sons, fifteen and
seventeen years of age, earnestly pressed
the appeal, At last the man consented
to try, and drawing a key from his peck
ct, said to his older son Here is the
key to the liquor closet; will you take it,
and promise me, on no condition, and for no
violence which which | may threaten you,
to give it up when [ demand it !"
The boy knowing how furious his father
was on these occasions, declined the trust.
The father then asked the younger son, a
boy of uncommon nerve, the same question,
and he promptly replied, 81 will" For a
few weeks, things went on smoothly, but
one day the father came home at an unu-
sal hour. His manner betokened that bis
appetite was gnawing and craving. He
called his younger son and demanded the
key to the liquor closet, but was refused
firmly. The refusal maddened him, anc

IL NO man living who is more full OF fun and

Conference OF Minister'S, in company with
another Clergyman. Passing country inn,
he remarked 10 the clergymau
The last time ! stopped at that tavern

In utter aua2cm,nt, his clerical friend
wanted To know what il mcaut.
Il mean Just what say replied Xcb
and on went the travellers IN mhrokcn ST.
lence until they reached the conference.
In the early part OF the session, the con
ference sat with doors closed for the pur-
pose Of uaUsaCtjng some private business
and especially To- the annual examination OF
each members private character, or rather
conduct, during the past year. For this
purpose the clerk called Xeh's name.
Does any one know aught against the
character OF brother Twitchcl during the
past year ?" asked the bishop, who was
the presiding officer,
After moments silence, Xcb's travelling
companion arose with heavy heart and
grave couutenance said he had a duty To
perform one that he owed to tod and the
church, and To himself; he must therefore
discharge it tearleSsly, though trcmhlmgly.
He then related what Zcb had told him
while passing the tavern. who he slept with;
he slept with the landlords s wife, etc.
The grave body of ministers were struck
as with u thuuicybolt, Slthough few smil-
ed and looked first at Xah, and then at the
bishop, knowingly Tor they knew bcttey
than the others the character of the accused
The bishop called upon brother I. and
asked him what he had TO say in relation to
SO serious a charge,
Lch rose and said: II did the decd
