REVIVAL IN A COLLEGE.

From Lafayette College comes
the gratifying news of a precious
work of grace among the stu.
dents. The daily prayer-meet-
ings for more than month past
have given evidence Of the Spirit
in the earnestness and fervor Of
the largely increased, number in
attendance, and several of the
students professed their hope in
Christ. During the past week
there has been preaching every
evening in the chapel, and more
than fifty of the students have
risen at the close of these SER
vices to request the prayers OF
Gods people. In fact, there are
but few in the entire College who
are not openly and earnestly in
quiring the way to the cross.
The Rev. Mr.. Mutchmore, of
Philadelphia, has gone to Easton
to aid in these services, and we
are sure that the prayers Of Gods
people will ascend to the throne
of grace, that this great work
may be deepened and strengthen
ed, and that this College, which
in past times has received signal
blessings from God in gracious
outpourings of the Holy Spirit,
may be still abundantly more
favored. The Church of God has
a profound interest in every re-
vival in College.-Presbyter
ian.

GIVING THE HEART.

"Mother," said a little boy,whc
had only numbered three sum
mers, "What does itmean to give
your heart to God 2"
The mother put down her sew.
ing, and looking at her boy, said
"Charlie, do you love anybody p
With a look of surprise, the
child answered, II love you; l love
my father,and my sister,and Hen
ry."
Then you give your heart to
your father, to Henry, to- your sis
ter, and to me; and you show
that love by doing all you can
for us, and obeying our COM
mands."
The child's face looked bright
with a new thought.
"And you ought" continued
the mother, 'to love God best, be-
cause he gave you your father
and mother, and all your friends
and comforts, and he gave you
his dear Son, Jesus Christ, who
came from heaven to die that you
may live forever"

HONOR.

True honor, though it be diff
ferent principle from religion, is
that which produces the same eff
fects. The times, of action
though drawn from different
parts, terminate in the same
point. Religion embraces vir-
tue; honor, all that is graceful
and ornamental to human nature.
The religious man fears the man
of honor scorns to do an i'll ac-
ton. The former considers vice
as something that is beneath him;
the other, as something that is
offensive. The one as what is
unbecoming; the other, as what
is forbidden. Thus Seneca speaks
in the natural and genuine Ian
guage of a man ofhonor when he
declares ssThat were there no God
TO see and punish vice, he would
not commit it, because it is so
mean, so base, and of so vile a
nature"

WHAT A BOY CAN DO.

About two hundred and sixty
years ago, poor lad, of seven
teen, was seen travelling on foot
in the south of England. He
carried over his shoulder, at one
end of a stick, all the clothing he
had in the world, and had in his
pocket an old leather purse, with
a few pieces of money given him
by his mother, when, with a throb-
bing, prayerful heart, she took
her leave of him on the road a
short distance from their own cot
tage.
And who was John? for that
was his name. He was son OF
poor but pious people, and six
brothers and five sisters, all OF
whom.hadEto labor hard for a liv-
ing. He was a godly lad, and at
fourteen was disappointed in
getting a place as parish clerk,
and with his parents consent,set
QUITO get employment.
At the city Of Exeter, where
he first went, he met with no sue
cess +; but as he looked on the
beautiful cathedral, and in the
booksellers windows,a strong de-
sire sprung up in his mind to be-
come scholar, and at once set
out for the university at Oxford,
some two hundred miles off,walk-
ing the whole way. AT night he
sometimes slept in barns, or on
the sheltered side of a hay-stack,
and often met with strange com
panions. He lived chiefly on
bread and &ates with occasion
ally a draught of milk as a luxury.
Arrived in the splendid city of
Oxford, his clothing nearly worn
out, and very dusty, his feet sore,
and his spirits depressed, and he
knew not what to do. He had
heard of Exeter College in Ok
ford, and thither he went, and to
his great delight, was engaged to
carry coal into the kitchen, to
clean pans and kettles, and that
kind of work.
Here, while securing his pans,
he might be often seen reading a
book. His studious habits soon
attracted the attention of the
authorities, who admitted him in
to the college as a poor scholar,
providing for all his wants. He
studied hard, and was soon at the
head of his class. He rose to
great eminence as a scholar, was
very useful as a minister of Christ,
and many years before his death,
which took place when he was
seventy-two, he visited his father
and mother, who were delighted
to see their son not only a ''great
Scholar" but a pious bishop.
Such was the history of DR..
John Prdeaux, who used to say
"If | had been parish clerk of
Ugborough, l should never have
been bishop Of Worcester" He
left many vulumnious works as
fruits ofhis industry and learning.

THE BROKEN VOW

Many young people are in the
habit of making promises very
freely, which they often find il
very hard to keep. Sometimes
even they do not try, but dismiss
the matter very lightly from
their minds. Such a custom soon
undermines the character fol
truthfulness. One who has little
regard for his promises, soon has
little regard for his word in any
other respect. The Lord has pro
nounced his severe judgments
against those who are untruth-
full. Especially does He call
those to strict account who
make promises to Him which
they do not perform. at is bet
ter that thou shouldst not vow.
than that, thou shouldst VOW and
not pay"
A poor lad went to the city to
seek his fortune, and was so sue
cessful his heart was full of graft
tude to God for his kindness to
him. So he promised, on his
knees. to give a tenth of all his
gains to the Lord. This he did
cheerfully until his title amount
ed to over two thousand dollars a
year. That seemed like a very
great sum to give away, so he
thought perhaps he need not be
quite so particular. But the
Lord sent a warning to him in
the shape of a loss of seventy
thousand dollars.
As he mourned over his lost
ship he renewed his promises to
God, and began again his benev
olent contributions. For some
time. he persevered, buts,worldly
associates at last won him away
from the right path. His chari-
ties were once more stopped,and
with blow after blow the Lord
swept away his immense fortune,
until he became almost as poor
as when, an errand boy. he enter
ed the city. While he scattered
his'goods they rapidly increased,
but when he came to withhold
ing more than was meet, it tend
ed just as rapidly to poverty.
Be very cautious how you
promise, but when your word has
been once given, fulfil your prom
ise, even if it is a disadvantage to
rself-PreSbyterian.

NEED OF REGENERATION.

A raw countryman having
brought his gun to the gun-smith
for repairs, the latter is reported
TO have examined it, and finding
it to be almost too far gone for
repairing, said, "Your gun is in a
very worn-out. ruinous, good-for-
nothing condition, what sort Of
repairing do you want for itF'
WELL" said the countryman, .
don't see as can do without any
thing short Of a new stock, lock,
and barrel; that ought to set it
up again. "Why," said the
smith. ,..you had better have new
gun altogether" "Ah !" was the
reply, Il never thought of that;
and it strikes me that's just.what
| do want. A new stock, lock,
and barrel why that's about
equal to a new gun altogether,
and that's whatFll have"
Just the sort of repairing that
mans nature requires The old
nature cast aside as a complete
wreck and good-for-nothing,and a
new one impaired.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.


Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through long series of years, and among most
OF the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power TO cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as n reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for incp-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As provision against
sudden attacks of Group, h should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Cons,n ption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pecforal. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat that the most obstinate of them yield to it
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry Pectordl they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectordI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.

NO HOUSEHOLD GOD.

A little boy three years old,
whose father was irreligious.
spent several months In the dwell
ing of a godly family, where he
was taught the simple elements Of
dlvine.truth.
The good seed fell into good
and tender soil,and the child
learned to note the difference be-
tween a prayerless and aChristian
dwelling. One day, as some one
was conversing with the little fel-
low about the great and good
God, the child said:
"We haven't got any God at my
papa's house"
Alas J how many such houses
there are in our world and land
houses where there is no prayer,
no praise, no worship, no God.
And what homes are they for
children; ay,and for men and wo-
men too! How much better is
the pure atmosphere of a Christ
ian love than the cold, selfish
worldliness of a goddess home!
Said an ungodly man, II never
was so near heaven, and probably
never shall be again, as when l
spent a day in the house of Eben-
ezer Brown "a godly Scotch
man who guided his household in
the fear Of the Lord.
Would that there were more
such homes, the memory of which
might shed a holy SAVIOR over
many a wanderers heart, ,and lead
the sad and lonely sons of sorrow
and oftears to look forward to the
gladness of the eternal gather
ings beyond the tolls and tears
and trials Of this weary pilgrim
age.
To such homes the weary come
for rest, and the troubled for con-
ISOLATION. The Son of Peace is
there. Blessed be such houses
and may ours be of this number.

Ayers Ague Cure.

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C.,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, il in nowise injuries any pa
tient. The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratifed by the
acknowledgements we receive of the radical cures
erected in obstinate cases, and where other rem
edies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the 4GU UE CURE daily.
For Lirer Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver it is an excellent remedy, stimu
lating the Liver into healthy activity
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly
remarkable cures, where other medicines had
failed.

Has just received new inven-
ton, in the way of an improve
ment in Ladies' Boots. The boot is
made high in the leg, with elastic
sides. The improvement consists
in arranging the elastic and lin
ing, that the elastic will clasp the
ankle; and the lining, while pro-
tecting the elastic from the sweat
of the foot, will also yield to its
contraction and expansion. Its
great beauty is this: that it is
easy to put on, fits snugly when
on, and protects the foot and limb
from cold. 1t will certainly be a
favorite with the ladies. Samples
can be seen at his shop.

together with the determination to fer
ret out, on their own account, as tax

public, all the property OF whatever ma
ture, in the name or under the control
of the members of the Ring, intending
to put the whole Of their claims into
one immense suit, and force the thieves
to disgorge their ill-gotten gains, Pa
pers are being prepared to obtain an
order in the Foley suit for the examlna-
ton of Tweed and Connolly in open
court, and to compel the latter to pro-
duce the city accounts and the books
of his department, and it is understood
that an application viii soon be made
to Judge Barnard for such an order
A statement has been prepared, show
ing that Mrs. Mary Connolly, the wife
of the comptroller, had, up to Wednes-
dav last, in her own name, the immense
sum of 81, 500, 900 in registered United
States bonds, $500, eco of which she
formally transferred to her son-in-law,
Joel Fithian, on the day mentioned the
transfer being immedlataly telegraphed

CHEAP MOTIVE POWER.

Correspondence Of the New York World.
SIR Among the various methods sug-
gcsted for IA cheap motive power on the
Erie Canal none seems to me as good or
cheap as my own. Having devised a
practical method Of utilizing this mo-
tive power on railroads, | find that it
is equally valuable on canals.
have, in the course of an extended
series Of experiments within the last
two years, discovered that power can
be transported twenty miles, in suita-
bic pipes, with loss due to friction of
less than ! per cent. With this great
fact established beyond question, all
the rest is easy. | am satisfied that an
air pipe can be placed along the banks
Of the canal between Albany and Butl'a-
10, extending the entire distance, and Mt
every ten miles attached to reservoirs,
to be constructed as ordinary cylinder
boilers, and of such capacity as to sup
ply the propelling boats with their
charge of compressed air.
The propelling boats may have de-
sirable power, from five to fifty horse,
aud tow two to twenty canal boats.
The compressed air can be worked
OH in engines very similar likely by other
devices-the details of which are not yet
ready for the public.
The cost of operating the Erie canal
can be reduced to the small charge for
my motive power and the interest
on congresses, pipes, and reservoirs.
The pressure need never exceed 200
pounds in the pipes and reservoirs.
Upon the 81 ose of navigation this
power can be sold to the cities along
the line, and used through the ordin-
AIRY steam-cngiue in place of steam !
am now building an air-dummy to
operate city railroads, but the principle
will extend to all railroads
Two eminent scientists, one in New
York and one in Pennsylvania, are
now engaged IN constructing boats to
be moved with compressed air, whose
inventions will ere long Toe made public
by demonstration, and lhave great con
tidence that the time is not very distant
when the canal commerce of our State
may be trebled, detylng competition
from all other lines and modes of transit,
and aid the Inauguration Of that revol-
ution which is sure to come from the
use Of this new motive power,
