'I'LL CALL ARogND AND PAY.,-What
O. world of woe is contained in these few
words to. the poor artizan and mechanic J!
'I'Ih call round and pay says the rich
man, to avoid tho trouble Of going TO his
desk to get the necessary funds, and the
poor mechanic is obliged to 60 home to
disappoint his workmen, and all who de-
pend upon him for their due. II is an

If those who could would pay alb once; 1t
would place hundreds and thousands in
condition to do likewise, and would pre-
vent much misery and distress.

A STORY FOR SwEARERs-A gentleman
once heard laboring man swear dread
fully in the presence of number of his
companions. He told him it was coward
ly to swear so in company. The man
said he was not afraid to swear at any
time or any place.
"I'll give you ten dollars" said the gen.
tleman, "if you will go into the village
church yard tonight at IL o'clock, and
swear the same oaths which you have ut
tered here when you are alone with your
God"
aAgreed," said the man, "it is an easy
way of earning ten dollars
dwell, you come to me tomorrow, and
say you have done it, and the money is
yours"
Time passed on midnight came. The
man went to the grave yard. IL was q
night of pitchy darkness. AS ne entered
the yard, not sound was heard-all was
still as death. Then the gentleman's
words ''alone with God," came over him
with o wonderful power. The thought
of the wickedness he had committed, and
what he came there to DO, dartod through
his mind like fash of lightning. He
trembled st his folly. Afraid to take
another step, he fell on his knees; instead
OF the dreadful oaths he had come to ut
ter, the earnest cry went up
"God be merciful to me sinner p
The next day he went to the gentle
man an thanked him for what he had
done, and said she was resolved not to
swear another oath as long as he lived.

TIE TowN-CLERK OF EPHEsUs- Cotton
5Mather often used to say there was gen.
.jtleman mentioned in Acts 19 to whom he
was indebted for some of the best advice
4 he ever received. This person was the
atown-clerk OF Ephesus, whose counsel was
not to do anything rashly.
So when any matter of consequence
came before Mather for decision, ne was
accustomed to.say: "Iet us first consult
the town-clerk Of Ephesus."
How much more trouble and sorrow
would be avoided if more people were to
consult this gentleman How many more
things would be done right tho first time,
and not have to be done over again! How
much more Joy, and safety, and rest, and
lin tho assul ance that we deliberately we'll
weighed consequences, waited the lead.
ings of the Lord, and followed the open
ngs of his providence
The hardest lesson of many life is that
of waiting 1t is easy enough, when all
the worlds hurrying, to make quick re-
solves and rash promises; but to pause
while the swift current is sweeping by
think, and wait, and pray, and listen for
the low counsel of that guiding spirit
which whispers to- every Christian heart,
;"He that believeth shall make haste"-is
no easy task.
Some people are ever inclined to run be-
fore they are sent. And if the Lord left
them to themselves, they would soon fin
ish their course in ruin. But in mercy
he restrains our ways. He shuts US up,
and hedges US about, and entangles our
feet, till we are compelled to stop, and
like prisoned birds that futter and beat
against their cage-bars till in weariness
| they fall down and submit, we at length
/ learn to be quiet, and know moderation,
and be slow in speech, calm in thought,
and terrible in action.
