Lend the Paper.

A GOOD instrument should not be lost,
any more than a good opportunity. A
religious newspaper, containing impress
siye paragraphs-admonitions, affecting
narratives showing the power and excel
lence of religion, cautions against the
snares of a wicked world, rousing exhibit
tons of the value of the soul, and hearty
recommendations of the Sayiour-is an
instrument which should not be thrown
away. Do not let such paper be torn
up, as soon as your family have read it.
You have neighbors who never see re-
ligious paper, and probably never will, if
left to themselves. These paragraphs
will be fresh and attractive to them, and
will be read. Mark some of the most
striking pieces with your pen, and hand
the paper round among your neighbOrs.
See that it goes to a good number Of
families. This may cost you little time
and attention, but it is one of the most
ready ways of doing good. The children
in your neighbor' family, the apprentices
in his shop, the boarders in his house,
may there read that which they never
will forget; and the scrap which you
throw away might save souls, if you
would put it in circulation. There are
secular papers enough which you can tear
up and burn, without conjunction. But
when the press has sent out, in any form,
a message of salvation, do not stop it
Send it forward.

a Good Answer,

1t is an old saying, cts a poor rule
that won't work both ways. The fol
lowing, from the Richmond Religious
Herald, is good illustration Of it,
Many years ago, minister was called
to the pastoral care of church in IA
nous old Baptist Association. lie had
just preached his first sermon, and the
body had gone into conference, with the
young pastor presiding. 1t was sugges-
ted by an aged brother, that it might be
well for the church to fix upon some
amount as the salary of the pastor, so
thathe might know what to depend upon:
but instantly objection was made all over
the house. cit is time enough, said
they, "to think about that. We might
fix upon a sum, and not be able to raise
it. Let that remain undetermined, and
the church be uncommitted.' With this
disposal of the salary question they
passed to the next item of business, which
was to decide on what days the regular
services of the church should be held
All eyes were now turned TO the new
pastor, expecting that he would state
definitely on what days he would be with
them. In answer to their inquiries on
this point, he remarked, in a careless
manner: Brethren, want my preach
ing days to stand on the same footing on
which you have put the salary. can't
commit myself to come on any particular
day, for it might not be convenient al
ways to do so. Sometimes | will come
the first Sunday in the month, then again
p J s,,o.y ..os .Js5sz 4 o0nrente"t to come a
all. Just leave this matter as you have
done the salary-unsettled.' In few
moments, specified amount had been
fixed upon as the pastors salary, and
the pastor himself had announced def
nitely the days upon which hewould Of
fciate.

Responsibility Of Young Men.

We have several times alluded to the
important narfs which the young nleta--e4-
to-day are to sustain in the future COM
mercial history of the country. 1t is a
subject which cannot be enforced too
frequently. Generations change with a
rapidity which astonishes men. Look
ing forward, it seems long way to the
time when the present governing classes
are to be of the past, gone, their works
and influence only remaining; but look
ing back, it seems but short time since
we who are in the prime of life were
boys. Young men of to-day will be the
controlling merchants and business men
of the country almost before they know
it, Hence the Importance Of educating
them now; and while this duty devolyes
partly on their seniors, there is a respon-
sibility on young men for themselves
which cannot be shirked This respon-
sibility is so admirably expressed il a
sermon by Rev. DR.. Scott, the eloquent
pastor of the Forty-second street Pres
byterian Church in this city, that we
venture to extract some lines:
AS every sand has its place in making
the mountains, and every drop its own
place in making the ocean, and every
leaf its part in clothing the forest, and
every stalk Of wheat its place in filling
the field with the golden harvest that is
to be gathered into the barn-as every
particle of space between our planet and
the sun is an important link binding us
to our solar centre, and performs an i'm
portant function in the communications
carried on between us and the other
members of the solar system, so is every
man and the particles of the influence
of every man, link in the vast chain of
human well-doing and well-being. Soci-
ETY. is the aggregation of Municipalities.
1t is, in fact, an association organized by
the Creator for purposes of benevolence.
Every human being is shareholder in
this association-not merely to receive
the dividends, or as a sleeping partner,
consume its fruits, bNt to help produce
them. Ivory human being is bound up
with every other human being, and must
fill his page in the vast volume Of hui
mainly. This is true Of all ages and Of
all men; but especially true Of young
men in our day. By Providence they
are so placed as to rcceire md transmit
impressions just as we their predecessors
have done, and as their successors will
do. Nay their opportunities for exert
ing a wide influence are, in most cases,
greater than We're enjoyed by their
fathers. Whatever then may be the
character of the young men of our age,
whether good Or bad, such will they i'm
part to the coming age. When we are
removed from living men, and the sands
of the mountain, or the clOds Of the val
ley, or the tangled weeds Of the sea, or
oceans brilliant shells may be our tomb,
then they will occupy our places on the
worlds busy stage. Yes, when we who
are now busy in the strife of life, and
struggling with its burdens, have left
these mortal shores, these young men
will be the living inhabitants of earth.
Those whom you are now teaching will |

PR E S B Y Z e r [ A n i.

teach others and mould their character.
These young men will be the men of bu-
siness, of science, Of learning and of re-
ligion in the years to come. As the fall
ing leaves of autumn are replaced by the
growth of the next year, or rather as
the leaves on ever green trees are ever
falling and ever growing, and the tree
always green; so in this vast and ever
multiplying population of our earth, we
are born, live and pass away, and another
generation cometh. The infant in the
cradle will soon mingle in the sports of
boyhood, and the growing child will
pass into manhood, and with his fellows
stamp the living world with its perma-
nent characters.-Jomnal Of Commerce.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1866-05-09

AssURAYCE.-Peter, opens his epistle
in strain of thanksgiving and joy, and
describes those whom he addresses, in the
words, "aoho are kept by tie posre, q
God Through faith unto salvation, ready
to be revealed in the last time" But
more. So triumphant was their assur-
ance, that he says of them, eye rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full of glory /;
receiving the end of your faith, eren the
8alvatiOn Of yoaw souls" Surely moth
ing can be added to the proof which this
passage affords, that they to whom it was
addressed had undoubting assurance of
their salvation.

SAD CAsE.-The following story is
told of father of the church. At an
association dinner debate arose as to the
use of the rod in bringing up children.
The doctor took the affirmative, and the
chief opponent was young minister,
whose reputation for veracity was not
high. He maintained that parents often
do harm to their children by unjust pun
ishment, from not knowing the facts of
the case. Why" said he, the only
time my father whipped me was for tell
ing the truth" "Well, retorted the
doctor, "it cured you of it, didn't it ?"

THE YORKSHIRE SHOEMAKER.--It is
recorded of a Yorkshire shoemaker, that
after his own conversion, he was known
to have been honored of God to bring to
Christ not fewer than a hundred souls.
His method was peculiar. He selected
a particular neighbor or friend he con-
centrated upon him his special prayers,
and anxieties, and urgencies; and he did
not rest until either the Lord gave him
that soul, or the door was manifestly
shut.---BailEe.

Silence.

In silence mighty things are wrought
Silently builded, thought on thought,
Truths temple greets the sky;
And like a citadel with towers,
The soul, with her subservient powers,
Is strengthened silently.
Soundless as choriots ON The suo,,,
The saplings in the forest grow
To trees of mighty girth
Each mighty star in silence burns,
And every day in silence turns
The axle of the earth.
The silent frost, with mighty hand,
Fetters the river and the land
With universal chain;
And smitten by the silent sun,
The chain is loosed, the rivers run,
The lands are free again.
