nRADLrY AND HIS pEpsRcUTORs.

In the first year of the war old Jake Brad
ley, the negro preacher, appeared IN oairo
and gave out among his colored friends That
he had been called of God to the ministry
that the Holy Ghost had appeared to HIM In
the shape of bright and beaming thing of
light; that the mantle Of the apostles mad iai-N
len upon him; that his tongue had been gift
ed with the mystery of prophecy. Many OF
the black sheep of Zion believed in nm, ana
soon large and devoted congregation had
gathered about his not very clean but never
theless apostolic feet. For time matters
moved along smoothly and Jake succeeded IN
building house of worship in which he
talked the gospel with voice of thunder,
nuisance in the ncighborhood, buta wonder
full man to his flock. On an evil DAY, mis-
chief makers, two white men, messrs. Iolburn
and Keyes, appeared in Jake's vineyard, ana
expressed desire to pluck all the irult Which
had been so assiduously cultiyated-ih other
words, to Gust Jake from the ministry ana
gobblc his building We are not thorough
" posted in the details of the conflict, but
know that from the time the two white men
named arrived in town until the present hour
there has been trouble among Jakes follow
ers, and the whole congregation has been
often before that estimable officer oil the
law, esquire Bross, who holds the scales oil
Justice with an even hand. Jake was hnally
defeated, the building was put into the care oil
the white fellows, and on the nj ;ht succeed
ing, we believe, the church and parsonage were
destroyed by fire, which, according to Jake,
came from heaven like the tongues of flannel
which descended on the heads Of the multi
tude that listened to Peter on the day of pen
tecost. The families Of Tolburn and Reyes
were scorchcd, hut luckily escaped death.
Jake was arrested; but, having the buckler
of the Lord to protect him, escaped the shafts
of the law and in day or two walked forth
free man, as FREQ as the apostles who were
of old led out of prison by the lock-opening
angel. Jake Immediately began TO circulate
n subscription paper, and having collected
twenty or thirty dollars started new
church which is now In full blast. Messrs.
Tolburn and Keyes, who seem to be good men
of their kind, not TO be behind their rival,
began to gather in dimes from the black men
upon whose money they live, and are now
constructing new house, to be used for pur-
poses of worship, and to shelter infantile ne
grocs, who may be governors, congressman
and presidents while their young ideas are
taught how to shoot by the firm Of 1. X h.
A. long us Jake live, fire is likely to come
down from heaven upon that house.

For Pay or for Love?

A poor laborer was taken very i'll. Mr.
Harwood, a man who had large manufac
tory to take care of, spent the night with the
sick man, endeavoring to alleviate his pain
During the day, as often as it was possible,
he looked in upon him. His kindness was,
of course, the theme Of conversation. A lit
tie girl, hearing what he had done, asked:
oDoes he do it for pay or for lover
This question may be asked in regard to a
great many actions. There is man very
active in promoting the interests of the
Church to which he belongs. He contributes
literally to the support of the minister. He
devotes large amount of time and money
to the erection of beautiful edifce, which
will doubtless promote the interests of the
Church and the village. Does he do it for
nav or for love? Is love to Christ the i'm
pelling motive, or is he at work for pay? No
one suspects him of having any pecuniary
object in view. He gives his services gratuit-
ously. Not penny of the money raised
Will 90 into his pocket, Still he may be at
work for pay, His object may be popularity,
reputation, influence. The peOple of the vii
lage are church-going people. The most
prominent man in the church will be the
most prominent man in the village.
There is a man diligent and earnest in
labors for the conversion of men. His sin
certify is unquestioned. His labOrs with in
dividuals, and in the meetings for prayer
and exhortation, are abundant. He is
blessed with a good measure of success
Does he do it for pay or for love? Certainly
not for pay in the shape of money. He ex-
poets none. Perhaps the true answer would
be, partly for love and partly for pay. He
loves God and the souls of men. At the
same time he loves notoriety. Some men in
dulge this desire by seeking political sta
tons. Heis not averse to being pointed out
as the most Jealous man in the church.
We may be true Christians, yet if We
scrutinize our motives, we shall find that, in
respect to a great many actions, we do them
partly for pay and partly for love. This
ought not so to be. Love is the fulfilling of

Dying of Responsibility.

DR.. Scott, of New York, while preaching
one Sunday on the prophet BALKAN, came
to speak of earnestness, zeal, and enthusiasm
in the cause of God, and while referring to
the objections to excitement" which are
often made, he remarked:
GA man who, in the midst of his family,
receives bill larger than he expected may
walk up and down the room and tear his
hair, and rave in his excitement and no one
blame the extravaganza Of his conduct. Men
in the stock market may be wild with excite
ment as the prices are going up and down
and they are making or losing money, and
this is only reasonable diligence in the
pursuits of business But the moment a
man wakes up to the necessity of seeking
the kingdom of God, or the church begins
to be earnest about the salvation of souls
perishing in sin at her gates, we are told
that this is enthusiasm, fanaticism, madness !.
The fact is, brethren, we are dying of re-
spectability Afraid to be in earnest In the
great work of the souls salvation, lest we be
reproached for our zeal and earnestness, as
if it were possible for us to be too much In
earnest when the immortal interests of our
selves and our fellow-men are at stake. Our
churches are DYING OF REsPECTABILITY. "
Oh for the voice of one crying in the
wilderness to awake such people from their
repose, and warn the careless multitudes to
flee from the wrath to come. O, God, send
help to the workers in this evil time.

Don't Fret.

Fretting is probably productive of more
unhappiness than downright scolding. The
thunder storm passes away, and the face of
nature seems brighter, freSher than before,
but the drizzling lowering day usually casts
sombre shade over the feelings of ALL
What is more trying to the patient and good
than constantly striving to please those who
will not be pleased-to shed sunshine where
all is perpetual gloom, or to strew flowers
knowing they will be wantonly crushed!-
Alas for man in his best estate; seldom will
he strive long against such apparent hope
lessness; and the fretter is usually left to
sulk it out as best he may, with none to hold
that social intercourse-that interchange of
soul which makes companionship lovely and
desirable; none except such as are bound to
him by no other ties but those of necessity,
or interest, to aid in sustaining the burthens
which life in its many changes imposes, and
to which all are subject.

The Cedars of Lebanon.

Mr.. Jessup, an American missionary, has
recently discovered several extensive groves
of cedars in Lebanon. Of these there are
three of great extent in Southern Lebanon.
This grove lately contained ten thousand
trees, and had been purchased by barbar-
Gus Sheikh, from the Turkish Government
for the purpose of trying to extract pitch
from the wood. The experiment of course
failed; and the Sheikh was ruined, and sew
eral thousand trees were destroyed in the
attempt One of the trees measured fifteen
feet in diameter, and the forest is full of
young trees, springing up with great vigor.
He also found two small groves on the east
erD slope of Lebanon, overlooking the Blu
ka a, above El Medeuk and the two other
large groves containing many thousand trees,
one above Ell Baruk, and another near
Ma asiv, where the trees are very large and
equal to any others; all are being destroyed

Debt.

When l was very small boy, and went
to a woman's school, it so happened that l
wanted slate-pencil, and had no money to
buy it with. l was afraid of being scolded
for losing my pencils so often, for l was
real careless little fellow, and so did not dare
to ask at home; what, then, was John to do?
There was little shop in the place, where
nuts, and tops, and cakes, and balls, were
sold by old Mrs. Dearson, and sometimes |
had seen boys and girls get trusted by the
old lady. 1 argued with myself that Christ
mas was coming, and that somebody or other
would be sure to give me penny then, and
perhaps even whole silver sixpence. l
would, therefore, 90 into debt for a slate
pencil, and be sure to pay at Christmas. l
did not feel easy about it, but still l screwed
my courage up, and went into the shop
One farthing was the amount; and as | had
never owed anything before, and my credit
was good, the pencil was handed over by the
kind dame, and l was in debt 1t did not
please me much, and l felt as if had done
wrong; but little knew how soon | should
smart for it. How my father came to hear
of this little stroke of business 1 never knew,
but some little bird or other whistled it to
him, and he was very soon down upon me in
right earnest. God bless him for it; he was
sensible man, and none of your children
spoiler; he did not intend to bring up his
children to speculate, and play at what big
rogues call fnanciering, and therefore he
knocked my getting into debt on the head
at once, and no mistake. He gave me
very powerful lecture upon getting into debt,
and how like it was to stealing, and upon
the way in which people were ruined by it;
and how boy who would owe farthing,
might one day owe a hundred pounds, and
get into prison, and bring his family into
disgrace. 1t was a lecture, indeed; l think
| can hear it now, and can feel my ears ting,
ling at the recollection of it. Then l was
marched off to the shop, like deserter
marched into barracks, crying bitterly all
down the street, and feeling dreadfully
ashamed, because 1 thought everybody knew
l was in debt. The farthing was paid amid
many solemn warnings, and the poor debtor
was set free, like bird out of cage. How
sweet it felt to be out of debt How did

Fanlts in Building.

The american Builder enumerates these
faults in planning and erecting houses:
''1st Cramping house down to the
smallest possible space, so as to make more
yard room,' which will never be used
"2d. Making no calculations as to the
size of rooms or the locations of furniture
"9d. Building chimneys by guess, so that
one has to have dozen lengths of useless
stove pipe, or else place his stoves in the
most inconvenient locations.
"4th. Arranging windows and doors so
that one opens against the other, or in the
very spot to be occupied by piece of fur
niture, or so placing them that no fresh air
can get through the house, even though the
whole should be open.
18th. Providing no means of ventilating
rooms, save by open doors or windows; hence
all the impure air which is generated by
breathing, cooking, and fermentation, as it
is rarifed, rises to the top of the room, and
there remains to breed discomfort, disease,
and death.
Goth. Mailing sheathing to the outside of
the studdlng, ana clapooards (or sldlng) close
to the outside of that, leaving small or no
air chambers between them; and, as in nine
cases out of ten, green materials for each
covering have been used, they shrink and
rot, soon making honey comb of the shell,
though plaStered with paint and cement.
9th. Laying the lower floor directly on
ioists. or, at best, lining it with culls, full Of
knots and shakes which are but little better
than nothing, and, as consequence, the
floor is always cold and uncomfortable.
"8th. In finishing, first laying the bases,
pila8terS, and castings perhaps of green lum-
ber,) and then athing and plastering up to
them, so that when they dry, large orifce8
are left to let in cold and moisture.
go. Letting his work out, as whole,
trusting to the honesty of the contractor to
do it, without having plans or specifications
properly drawn, and without any one to
oversee, criticise, or direct it"
