RecOnverSiOn

Rev. T. L. Cuyler, d. D., writing in the
New York Evangelist on the Recover
sion of Christians, says:
The difference between a bent tree and a
broken tree Is, lhat the one springs back to
its place when the pessure is removed, but
the other never rises from the dust. When
Peter denied his Lord in PLATE porch, his
was d bent faith, not broken faith. For
no sooner does the cock-crow smite upon
his ear, than in a moment his brOw-beaten
loyalty to his Master leaps up and asserts
Its presence in an Outgush of honest, blind
ing tears. Out into the solitude and dark
ness he goeth, not to hide his sin with Ju-
das's rope, but to be re-cOnverted; to turn
back again with genuine cOntrition to that
Saviour whom he had wronged, and give
his sorrowing heart arfesh to Jesus And
from that garden the weeping disciple
comes back an humber. wiser, Drawer man
than he had ever been before. That hap
tism of tears was needed baptism for his
| high apostleship. Better fitted to sympa.
thize with the tempted; better fitted tC
warn the presumptuOus; better able t
Strengthen the brethren must this disci
pile have peen for his melancholy lapse ano
for his merciiul re-canyeraiou.

Suggestive Paragraphs.

Every Christian should be Bible-reader,
a Bible-wOrker, and Bible-singer. In the
first case his religion is developed through
the head. In the second case through the
hand. In the third case chrough the voice.
But in all cases it requires the whole heart.

intelligent; by the. next process more use

PraYer---An Incident

For fourteen years father and mother
prayed for hayward boy. During this
period they many times fixed date inside
of which they expected his conversion,-
One after another Of these times passed by,
until fourteen years had gone. The father
was going out one morning when the good
wife laid her hand upon his arm and said,
Father, have you forgotten prayers ?''
."No," was the husky reply, Il haven't for
gotten but its no use, God does not hear
us" The wife's eyes were full of tears.
"Well, let us pray that God will make us
more earnest, and then, perhaps, he will
answer our prayer" He went out to the
barn, and then his wife's words, his over
burdened heart, and the habit of years led
him to fall upon his knees and pray fol-
more earnestness. and to again beseech God
to convert his boy. His boy heard the
prayer, and wishing to get away, so that he
might not hear more, went to the house
Going past his mothers room he heard hel
voice raised in prayer for more earnestness
and in supplication for him. He paused
overcome, and then went in and kneeling
down by her and putting his arms around
her neck, said, Mother, God knows vol
are in earnest, and he has heard youl
prayers. - Christian AdUOc0te.

Forgiveness

Ny heart was heavy, for its trust had been
Abused, its kindness answered with foul wrong.
So, turning gloonily from my fellow men, S.
One summer Sabbath day strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial-pla
Where, bordering how all human love and
hate
Find one sad level; and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened
face,
And cold hands folded over still heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave,

Our common sorrow, like mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and, trembling,

WEST BURKE, VT, Oct. 10, 1869.
PADDOCK, DEAN s. Co,
GEN1s.-In planting my corn, dungeG in the
hill with shovelfuL of hog manure until that
was all gone, when, after sticking a stake, be-
gun with a spoonful of your phosphate. In the
beginning and at first hoeing, the manure was
ahead, but at time Of second hOeng, they were
about equal. Passing that way week later,
did not readily discern the dividing line, and
naturally made search for the beginning of the
phosphated corn. After hunting an hour or
more was forced TO give in, and, somewhat
chagrined, started for the centre of the piece to
mischance it had got down, so that throughout
the growth. harvest and husking, l was unable to
see any choice in the two parts of the field. My
potatoes were part on phosphate, and part had
horse manure in the hill Here, too, the phos-
phate done well.

ANY Good in 1t?

asked 4 good old lady the other day. Yes,
hurt bv it was IT, reply. But Tia. Was
not the way for a christian to ask thequc+-
ton 1t should have been, Is there any
good in playing cards? It argues 4 low
state of spirituality to be simply avoiding
harm. All doubtful questions ought to be
put in this way. Is there any good in this ?
And let it be remembered things are good
or bad to US according as they affect u.s.
This principle applies to all questionable
practices. Give the benefit Of the doubt

GENTs.-I have used Superphosphate upon
my farm in st. JOhnsbury, Concord and Lunen-
burgh, for some years past, with the most salts
factory results, and have endeavored to learn
how far its use might be profitable upon various
crops. l am satisfied it pays well on corn, pOta-
toes and turnips. 1t gives vigorous growth to
the young plant, natures it two weeks earlier
than barn yard manure alone, increasesthe yield
by about one-third, aud improves the quality of
the fruit. This year l used equal quantity of
yours and Bradley's, and find the Vermont fully
equal to any phosphate have ever used.

The Human Face

In what extreme confusion must the
world forever have been but for the variety
which we find to exist in the faces, the vol
ces, and the handwriting of men No Sc
curity of person, no certainty of possession.
no justice between man and man, no dis
tinction between good and bad, friends and
foes, father and child, husband and wife,
male and female All would have been ex-
posed to malice, fraud, forgery, and lust.
But now mans face can distinguish him in
the light, his voice in the dark, and his
handwriting can speak for him though alb
sent, and be his witness to all generations.
Did this happen by chance, or is it not a
manifest as well as an admirable indica-
ton of a divine superintendence.
