B.ucr to snaer without cause than to have
cause for suffering.
The grace which makes every other grace
amiable Is humility
The nghteousis is greater after death than du-
ring Bis lie.
Time borders upon eternity. 1t requires but
an instant TO make the passage from tue one
to The, other.
Hope IS the sweetest friend that ever Kept a
DISTRESSED soul company; it beguiles the tedi-
business Of the way-all the miseries of our
pilgrimage.
\ Christian has so much opposition in his
way to glory that he had need be well locked
into tie saddle Of lis profession, or he'll be
soon dlmoanted.
True repentance consists in the heart being
broken from sin. Some often repent, yet ne
ycr reform; they resemble a man travelling a
dangerous path, who frequently starts aud
stops, but never turns back.
The great Athcnian general being asked
whether he would rather choose to marry his
daughter to an inligcnt man Of merit, OF to
worthless man Of estate replied that he should
prefer man without an estate to an estate
without man.
Beccher says that men confess everything
but their own besetting sins They steer clear
Of these. Whtever heard man say, 90
Lord am az proud as Iuciler humble me
humble mc"-or 80 Lord am so mean
aud stiugy that It's only with great pain that
can uuc,ose my fist make me generous"
The ruin Of most men dates from some va
cant hour. Occupation is the armor of the
soul. There is a satirical poem, In which tho
devil is represented as fishing for men, and fit
ting his bait to the taste and business Of bis
prey; but the idlcr he said, gave him no trou-
Die. as lie bit at tie naked hook.
Grace to live from day to day an increas-
inaly Christian lie, without being inordinatoly
anxious about the morrow; faith in Christ as
the only aud all-sunicicut Saviour for us and
more succcss in initiating the example Of Him
who is Lord aud Master are, and must be, the
great aim Of every Christian, and if reached
aud realized, will prepare him equally for life
aud death
Many inon pass fifty or sixty years in tho
world, and when they are Just going out of it
they bethink thcnsclyG, and step back, as it
were, to DO something which they had al the
while forgotten-to wit, main business for
which they came into the world, to repent Of
their sins, and reform their lives, and make
their peace with God, aud in time prepare for
eternity.

Trials of Editors.

We take the following extract from
an address recently delivered before the
" Iowa Press Association on this
subject:
In speaking of the revenue of the press,
l can not refrain from expressing nv
views on the subject of free advertise
ments. There is always to be found in
every considerable community a set of
men who imagine, by some dispensation,
they ought not, like other mortals, to
pay for what they receive. Editors have
extraordinary facilities for making their
acquaintance, and are very kindly per-
mltted to contribute gifts to their sup
port. In what other branch of business
would this be tolerated? Allowing that
one has put the press under some obliga-
ton, does he not generally expect to get
back more than the worth of his serv-
ices?
If man does an editor a favor Of a
remarkable value, let him have his remu-
neration-cash.
On the other hand, require him to pay
for what the paper has done for him. 1t
is as reasonable to expect the carpenter
to single your house and the tailor to
make your clothes without charge, as to
prepare and publish matter for another's
benefit without compensation. Long
obituaries, marriages ornamented with
extracts from all the poets, and lengthy
puffs of some ones corner lots or i'm
provements, come under this class of ad-
vertisements. This custom of gra:uitous
notices and advertisements from any
quarter ought to cease, for the reason
that it would be benefit to the editors
pocket. and would in some degree abate
an almost intolerable nuisance. The ed
itor's path has more thorns than roses,
and there is no law, human or divine,
that should oblige him to shoulder the
burden of those who are too lazy or
stingy to take care of themselves. Peo-
pie will come to terms where they find
their interests are involved in reason.
able compliance.
