A Business Prayer Meeting.

Two prayers, fervent. simple, earnest,
had been offered. Three hymns had been
sung-sung clear through trait of Mr.
Beecher's people, when Mr.. Beecher,
still sitting. opened a letter and began
to read 1t was from Boston. A man
failed six years ago. He could have
paid all he owed, but compromised with
his creditors for fifty cents to the dollar,
and with the moiety of his property
bought a house and made over the whole
that remained to his wife. Six years
had passed away. He now desired to
lead religious life. What ought he to
do? This was the question Now it
was manifestiy proper for this case to
come before the people of God. One
thousand souls then assembled there
were bent toward this case, and either
their own lives were defective in simil-
ar sense or they were thinking of some
one who had done the same thing. With
q paternal simplicity Mr.. Beecher began
to unfold to his children their duty in
the light of simple, honest-deaiing men
with men. Several cases were presented
by his people. Difficult questions were
answered. Had a man right to settle
competence upon his wife in sunny
day when no prospect of failure impend-
Ell SOuiu uc OuiIu uln q COtcTt iTOI
the tempest? Was he not neglecting
the law of duty if he did not? Who
could pardon q young man for periling
all he had in business and not laying up
in store something for winter of trial
But suppose he does neglect. and the
storm comes and the whole is likely to
be swept away, is he justified then in
endeavoring to snatch from the hands of
justice and honesty portion for present
need? Bankrupt laws might be well.
They give place whereon to place his
battery to attack the hosts of ill fortune.
But justice must be satisfied. Manifest
ly, then, the man who neglects to save
enough for = rainy day, must and ought
| to suffer for his neglect He is unfortu-
nate, and it Is too late. His wife may
suffer and be innocent, but the great God
above will bless her by q consciousness
of doing her duty, and not being party
to crime Honest poverty is better than
dishonest competence
There were no more prayers. We sang
| q hymn and came away stronger in the
resolve to always pay, 20 long - dollar
remained, our just dues.-CAsreA Usiss.

The First Firm Step.

1t is the first bold act of determination
that commits the soul to ways of better
life. The courage that fails there fal-
ters forever, and produces the procrastin-
alton which has been the ruin of thous-
ands. The example Of Senator Wilson,
in more instances than one. during his
public life, entities his words to consid-
Grafton. The following is quoted from
his speech at the New England Temper
ance Convention in Boston:
'.In 1S45 went to Washington to car
ry petitions, signed by sixty thousand
men Of this commonwealth, against the
admission of Texas as a slaveholding
State. John Quincy Adams, in whose
district resided made n dinner party
for me. Eminent men sat around the
table. One of that number has since
been Speaker of the House Of Represen-
tatives, two have been Cabinet officers,
and two have been foreign Minister'S
looked up to Mr.. Adams with profound
admiration and reverence. During the
entertainment Mr.. Adams asked me to
drink a glass of wine with him. / was
mbarrassed-hesitated for q moment
1t was the sorest trial of my life. But
somehow l succeeded in stammering out,
"Sir, l never take wine" That answer
settled the matter for me. l have never
found it hard since to utter those words,
nor fill my glass with cold water. have
often since sat at the tables of Govern
ors, Senators, Foreign Ministers, Cabinet
officers, Generals, Admirals and Presi-
dents but have ever found it easy to
decline the proHered wine cup. The real
difficulty is not in others it is in our
selves. Temptations are ever around
and about u.s. The only thing for the
temperance man to do is to stand infexi-
blv firm to his plighted faith. He who
is ready to live by his temperance pledg-
es, will win the respect even OF men who
indulge in excessive use of intoxicating
drinks"

Jefferson Daviss Greeting.

We have not seen one Southern paper
which denounces the Reconstruction law
as insulting and barbaric, and Congress
as body of traitors and tyrants, which
does not hail the Democratic success in
Connecticut as Southern victory. There
is not one paper Of the kind which does
not advise postponement of reconstruc-
ton, in the hope that other Democratic
successes will gain for the Rebel States
unconditional representation in Con-
gress, and the ultimate repeal of the
law. AS during the war the Democratic
party was the acknowledged champion of
secession and rebellion, so is it now of
the rebellious spirit which survives the
dispersion Of the Rebel armies.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis has recently ad-
ded his rejoicings to those of the Demo
Gratis in Connecticut, and assured them
Of his sympathies. AS he mourned when
Grant drove Lee from Richmond, when
Sherman carried the Stars and Stripes
through the heart of the South, so he
mourned over every Republican triumph
at the polls, and as he rejoiced when
Union troops were routed at Chancellors-
vile, he rejoices over the election of
Mr.. English. That is very natural-we
do not expect the leader of the Rebel
lion to exult in any success of the party
which chrushed it-but it is also very
significant. Great must be the comfort
felt by the Democrats to know that Mr..
Davis believes ''the Connecticut election
Ito be one of which that State may well
''be proud" 1t is a compliment which
we rejoice he never paid to the Republi-
can party we ask approval from the
loyal people, and not from the men who
sought to destroy the Union.
Jefferson Davis rejoces in the Connec-
ticut election because to him it "appears
''to be the turning point in the political
struggle, and will have great effect on
''the political balance of power, and on
succeeding elections" In almost these
very words he bade the rebel armies take
new hope from the Democratic victories
in 1862. He thought the election of
Horatio Seymour in New York the turn
ing point of the war, as he now affects
to believe that the election of MIR. Eng
lish indicates the readiness of the North
to abandon the party which saved the
Union.
Let the Conservatives and Democrats
make the most of jeff. Davis's pride in
their Connecticut victory. We do not
envy them the approval and alliance of a
man who did his utmost to divide the
Republic, and to establish an empire
upon slavery. They may profit, if they
can, by the fact that Andrew Johnson's
administration can only be sustained in
a way which encourages the hopes of the
chiefs of the rebellion. Every vote tor
his policy is vote for the policy of JEFF
ferson Davis, and the fellowship is not
of our making. We are perfectly con-
tent that Mr.. Davis should be proud Of
the Democrats, and that the Democrats
should be proud of Mr.. Davis.-[N. Y.

Coop FOR FORTY TUNEs.-The Shelby
(Ind. Courier, says:
Organs in the churches have become
very fashionable of late. In almost ev
cry church you go into you will find one
of these instruments. A friend Of ours,
who lives in a neighboring village, re-
lated to US yesterday an amusing Incl
dent which occurred in their church.
He said, to be in fashion, they must
have an organ, The congregation could
not afford to pay an organist, so they
got q self acting organ, a compact instru-
ment, we'll suited to the purpose, and con-
structed to play forty tunes.
The sexton had instructions how to
set it going, and how to stop it; but, un-
fortunately he forgot the latter part of
his business; and after singing the first
four verses of hymn before the sermon.
the organ could not be stopped, and con
tinued playing two verses more; then
just as the clergyman completed the
words, s.let US pray" the. organ again
clicked and started another tune.
The sexton and others continued their
exertions to find the spring, but no one
could but stop to it, so they got four
of the stoutest men in the church to
shoulder the preverse instrument, and
they carried it down the aisle of the
church, playing away, into the church
ward, where it continued clicking and
piaying until the whole forty tunes were
| finished.
