led to Christ. When l was there, we
had intended to form Congregational
church, but as those who should have
composed it could not be got together
DUNG our brief stay, the idea was aban-
doned for the time, but it will be car
ried out ere long.
And thus may we repay the South all
the wrongs she has done our living and
our dead. On the very spot where her
crime and her shame reached their hight,
there let our Christly activity have its
highest expression. Letter from Chap
lain Woodworth.
Too MUcH MoNEy.-Mr. p, veal

by friend to engage in mercantile
scheme, from which large profits were
apparent. "You are right" said he, cas-
regards the probable success of the
scheme, but / shall not embark in it. |

He was asked to explain, and remark

my income were less am old, and
year or two whatever | possess will avail
me nought. My daughters are dead, and
l have three sons whom l dearly love.
Ny own education had been neglected,

and careful economy had no time for

have every advantage. They each re-
ceived a good classical education, and /

society, my sons are mere idlers and men

/ PROMPT PAY.-An exchange gives
= the following excellent advice, which we
I commend to the careful perusal of our
: readers. No one should neglect giving
q his attention to the bills he owes his
y tradesmen 1t should be remembered
!. that nearly all those to whom debts are
h due have their own debts to pay. Gus
y toners and consumers owe retail dealers
+ and small shops retail dealers and small
p employers owe the wholesale men and
e larger employers; these in their turn owe
, the great manufacturers, the planters and
! farmers, the importer and other heavy
: operators and these owe the banks and
bankers and the banks owe other banks,
4 and owe their stockholders and other
i creditors and furnish the money to pay
a employers, mechanics, laborers, clerks,
if statesmen, &C., and thus we get back to
- the customers and consumers who owe
- the small bills. These last, then, are but
;. the rivulets that swell into the great
ii streams of payments necessary at this
season to keep everybody's credit good
and keep the wheels of industry and
u, business in healthy motion. Unless the
u rivulets flow actively the rivers will be
sluggish, and the great sea formed by the
- many small streams become dry and
- stagnant. Let all, then, make it "a point
~ to pay bills promptly, whether small oil
- large, and thus help each other.
