Papal.

At meeting of French Bishops and
Cardinals at Rome, several reformatory
measures were introduced, which to the
surprise of the Conservatives, were favor
ably received By majority One of
these was to revise the Council of Trent S
decision concerning the celibacy of the
Catholic clergy, and declaring that they
could marry, and the other was to abol-
ish the Latin liturgy and substitute for
it the language of the nation in which
the service is performed. These meas.
ures will be reported to the Ecumenical
Council soon to be held.
The Pope's address to Protestants has
produced a considerable commotion in
parts of Europe. By the order of the
Central Consistory of Prussia, declara-
ton was publicly read in all the churches
and chapels of the country, declining
his Holiness's invitation and repelling
the arrogance with which it is accompa-
nied.-The old gentleman suffers not his
zeal to flag in his endeavors to bring in
to his Gospel feast, announced for Dec.
1869, all Protestants. He has issued an
other invitation to sail bishops of orien-
tai churches not in communion with the
Holy See" The Patriarch of CONSTANT
nople has refused to receive this Papal
letter, which the Roman Catholic Archi-
bishop of Constantinople was instructed
to present to him.

Poverty in the Parsonage makes Poverty
in the Pulpit.

The calamity which l stand in dread
of, and which is, next to the withdrawal
of the Divine blessing, the greatest a
Church can suffer, is that the rising tai
ent, genius, and energy of our country
may leave the ministry of the Gospel for
other professions. GA scandalous main
tenance," Mathew Henry says, "makes
scandalous ministry" And 1 will give
you another equally true: "The power

which some ministers are doomed, is one
of the great evils under the sun. Tc

is expected to be generous and hosplta
bic, to open his hand as wide as his
heart to the poor, to give his family GOOD

of doing so, is enough, but for the hope
of heaven, to embitter his existence.

HE Never Looks at Children

This was the description a little boy
of six years gave to his mother, of man
whom he had met in the street, but whose
name he tried in vain to recall. why.
you know whom l mean, he said; the
man who never looks at children. The
mother did know at once whom the little
boy meant. He was young mana
very good young man, and much esteemed
in the community-but with the unfor-
tunate habit of looking straight before
him when he walked, seeing no one,
small or great, whom he CHANGED to meet.
But there are others in the community
to whom the little boys description will
apply aside from the young man in ques
ton. There are those who seem to take
little or no interest in children; who never
see them-never speak to them-never
so much as smile upon them when they
meet them in the way. Children are of
no account in their estimation. The
world would be just as well off without
them.
Very unlike this class of men was the
Lord Jesus Christ. He was walking
along one day with His disciples, when
company of children came focking
around him. Some who were very young
we're brought in the arms of their pa
rents. The disciples thinking their Mas
ter would not like 20 be troubled, would
have sent the children away, But When
Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and
said, 'Sufftr little children to come unto
Ne, and forbid them not, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven And He took
them up in His arms, put His hands
upon them, and blessed them.
Il love God and little children, says
German writer: as if there were some
connection between the two, as there GER
tainly is. And the late Washington
Irving, in notice of the poet Campbell,
speaks of the love of children'as an in
fallible sign of a gentle and amiable ma
ture. 1t was so emphatically in him

Words that Endure.

All the works of man are passing away,
even the strongest and the most lasting,
Our houses and our churches, even those
which have stood for thousands of years,
are yet crumbling into ruins.
Man himself is passing away, still
more quickly than many of his works.
Where are those who once lived in the
houses we see? Where are the genera
tions who once worshipped in the church
es we now visit on the Sabbath? They
are gone-they are all gone, and the
places that knew them once, know them
no more.
Even the works of God are to undergo
a great change. "Heaven and earth
shall pass away"-that means the earth
and the sky. "The heavens being Oh
fire shall be dissolved, and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat, and the
earth and the works therein shall be
burned up" What a wonderful sigh,
that Will be- What vast and solemn
change
But blessed be God, there is something
that shall not pass away. Jesus says
"my acOrds shall not pass away. Is II
not wonderful that houses and people,
and even the hills and mountains
things that seem so firm, should be
changed, and that things so small and
humble as "words' should be ever abid-
ing? But so it was, and is as Jesus said.
He was speaking of the destruction OF
Jerusalem when he declared that his
words would not fail. He said the tenn
pie and the city would be destroyed, and
the people scattered over the earth. That
came true within about thirty years.
But this text has another and wider
view. 1t is true of all the words of Je-
sus. He preached great deal to the
people when he was upon the earth. He
gave many precious invitations to sin
ners: He said, "Come unto me all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and l
will give you rest" That invitation
blessed be his name-is just the same
still. The heart of Jesus is unchanged.
The smallest child that hears the name
of Jesus may come to him and find they
are true.
He gave solemn, awful warnings also,
He tells of day when the door will be
shut-when mercy will be withdrawn
when the world will be called to stand
in judgment before God, and the wicked
shall be sent down to hell forever. These
words too, will stand good.
Let me accept his words of love, and
then l shall have nothing to fear from
his words of wrath.
OLD DISCIPLE.

OLD DISCIPLE.

"Greater, saws Solomon, "is he that
ruleth his own spirit than he that taketh
a city" Courage and skill are only
needed in the one case; but what efforts,
and above all, what strength from God,
to accomplish the other! Such con,
quests, however, may and have been
made, and that even by the young. As
an illustration, let me mention how a
little girl acted under circumstances of
provocatiou, and the victory which she
gained over herself.
Two little sisters-Frances about sew
en-, and Augusta about five years old
were as happy as little girls could be,
loving their parents and each other dear
ly. Sometimes, however, as it happens
with the best friends, little differences
would arise. On one of these occasions,
Frances, perceiving how matters were
tending, with a thOughtfulness, decision,
and self command surprising in so young
a child, said: Il am getting angry;
had better go out of the room for few
minutes" She acted Immediately upon
her resolution, and left the room for a
short time. When she returned the
storm was hushed, and they went to
their play as happy as ever.
This is no imaginary story, but a fact,
and occurred just as it is related; and it
teaches our young friends, nay, all of us,
a most useful lesson.
Were all children to act like the little
girl have mentioned, how many sad
scenes would be avoided, and what hap
piness would spring up in youthful
hearts from self conquest. There is this
to encourage US, that just as bad habits
grow in strength the more they are
yielded to, so each time temper is over
come, viii strength be gained for future

Married Missionaries.

A writer on missions in one of the
British quarterlies gives the following
excellent counsel:
"In cases where there is great danger
to be encountered, or the life is one of
very frequent motion, the missionary
should be, like Paul or Swartz, a single
man. But whenever the mission takes
the form of quiet stationary duties, let
the missionary's heart be softened by
domestic life, and let the society to which
he belongs assume the guardianship Of
his children. Let it be made clear, at
the outset, that his employers take charge
both of him and his, and that all pursuit
of gain, either for himself or for them, is
strictly forbidden him"

Imagination in Theology.

No narratives are so suggestive as
those of the Bible. None have formed
the basis or the germ of so many pro-
ducts of the imagination-so many tales,
and poems, and statues, of so many paint
ingS by the old masters and the modern.
And within due limits, all this is well.
1t helps to realize and vivify the. dim,
the distant and the dead. 1t annihilates
time and space; it brings out versimili'
tude; it enhances the power of the sacred
volume-it is indeed but the outworking
of its power. AS read Millions account
of the temptation in Eden and the fall,
it seems to me halfinspired, so accordant
is it both with the Divine. testimony and
with human nature. / have little of
the same feeling as to his narrative of
the huge guns, the jests of the apostate
angels, and the fight with mountain mis-
siles. With little of Scripture here to
guide him, it is not strange that, at some
points, the wings of his fancy proved
Icarian. 1t is a remarkable tribute, |
may say in passing, to the many-sided
excellencies of the Bible, that incompara-
bly, the noblest epic in our language is
but a filling up of its outline. Who of
US at all familiar with poetic literature
but has found in other authors not a
few, such as Gossner, and Klopstock,
and Montgomery, and Hannah More,
and Mrs. Browning, panoramic illustra-
lions of Scripture which have both
charmed and instructed him?

Superphosphates.

Phosphoric acid from the plants eaten
by the animals is for the most part stored
up in the bones of the latter, where in
combination with lime it forms the prin-
cipal part of their inorganic or earthly
portion. The phosphoric acid and lime
together constitute phosphate of lime,
which consists of definite proportions of
the acid and lime; in this form the acid
is moderately soluble, and may be alb
sorbed by the roots of plants with con-
siderable readiness. 1t is found, how
ever, that if we dissolve the bones in
sulphuric acid or oil of vitriol, that the
sulphuric acid unites with two thirds of
the lime, driving out the phosphoric acid
therefrom into the other third of the
lime, which with this triple portion of
the phosphoric acid constitutes super
phosphate. By this means the whole #
the phosphoric acid is made Immediately
soluble, and consequently acts very
quickly upon the plants. Its effects are
indeed so rapid that in practice it is bet
ter not to convert the bones wholly into
superphosphate, as otherwise the effect
would be too powerful at the beginning

Off his Guard.

Among my earliest recollections is a
pillar which was set up as mark of the
borough-bounds. AS we passed None
day, remember my dear old father tell
ing me story about the pillar. "Some
years ago" he said, ga writ was about
to be served upon a man for debt; but
the debtor, upon seeing the bailif, start
ed off, and ran as hard as he could for
this point (which was fully three miles
from the town. The bailff, though in
full chase. could not overtake his man,
who ran till he reached this pillar, and
then, feeling he was beyond the pre-
cincts of the borough, he turned and de
fed the baiif. The latter knowing he
had no authority to take him, appeared
calmly to submit to his fate; but just as
he appeared to be returning to town,
stretching out his hand, he exclaimed,
We'll, let us part good friends, at any
rate. Here's my hand The debtor
thrown off his guard, took the profer-
ed hand when the bailif, wth one des-
perate effort, pulled him within the
boundary, and clapped the other hand
upon his shoulder, shouting, You are
my prisoner.
So much, reader, for over-conGdence.
Many a man who has run well or fought
well, has forfeited the race or lost the
battle, as the case may be, through
thinking the struggle was over. He has
made too sure. There is nothing more
dangerous than taking things for grant
ed. 1t is said of the celebrated Deer
foot (the great American runner) that
he takes matters 'tolerably easy until
within the last round or two; and then,
when his competitors are either oo-self
confident or iaded with their fast run
ming, he turns on $50 to speak, more
steam, and taking the lead, wins the
race.
So is it, reader, with our arch foe.-
Long and well experienced in human tao
tics, having a far better knowledge of us
than we have of ourselves, he waits for
his opportunity-bides his time; and
then, with the utmost skill and ingenui
ty, plies his temptations, which are al
ways such as ne knows to be best adapt
ed to cur character and condition.
Hence it behooves US ever to be on the
alert, and to cry to the great Captain
of Salvation, that he would give US
such wisdom and grace, that we may
''take unto us Ike whole armor of God,
that we may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand; )"
for "we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities and pow
ers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places"
