Compound Interest Given.

| know ricaa merchant in ST. Petersburg,
who, at his own cost, supported a number Of
native missionaries in India, and gave like a
prince to the cause of God at home. l
asked him one day how he could do it? He
replied, "When served the Devil, I did it
on large scale, and at a princely expense;
and when, by his grace, God called me out
of darkness, 1 resolved Christ should have
more than the Devil had had. But how l
CAP give SO much, you must ask of God, who
enables me to give it. At my conversion, 1
told the Lord his cause should have a part
of all that my business brought me in; and,
every year since made him that promise,
it has brought me in about double that it
did the year before; SO that l can and do
double my gifts in his cause" How true
what Bunyan said !
ga man there was some called him mad
The more he cast away, the more he had"
"There is" said God, "that giveth, and
yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth
more than is meet, and it tendeth to poverty. u
God will be debtor to no one. He pays
compound interest for all that by faith is put
into his bank.

LIFE LEAVES.

The day, with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gates,
Aud single star in the cloudless blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
While the winds that sigh to the languid hours
A lullaby breathe Ger the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the song of the stream
That winds along with lulling flow,
And either awake, or half adream,
pass through the realms of long ago;
While faces peer with many a smile
From the bowers of memorys magic isle.
There are joys and sunshine, sorrows and tears,
That check the path of Gfe's April hours,
And longing wish for the coming years,
That hope ever wreathes with its fairest flowers;
There are friendships guileless-lOve as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night.
There are ashen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes and broken vow,
And an aching heart by the reckless main,
And the sea breeze tanning palid brow;
And a wanderer on the shell-Gned shore,
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions wild,
And the 6ercs desire 20 stand Ia the van
OF the battle of life-and the heart of the child
Is crushed in the breast of the struggling man;
But short the regrets, and few are the tears,
That fail at the tomb of the banished years.
There is quiet and peace, and domestic love,
And joys arising from faith and truth,
And a truth unquestoning, fan above
The passionate dreaming of ardent youth;
And kisses of children on lip and cheek,
And the parents bliss, which no tongue can speak.
There are loved ones lost; There are little graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the streamlet winds, and the violet waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze;
And we mourn for the pressure of tender lips,
And the light of eyes darkened in deaths eclipse.
And thus, as the glow Of the daylight dies,
And the nights first look to the earth is cast,
gaze, meath those beautiful summer skies,
At the pictures that hang in the ;all of the past
Oh, Sorrow and Joy chant a mingled lay
When to memory's wild wood we wander away

work. Of course, it was in his human
nature that he prayed. AS God it would be
absurd to suppose him praying to himself
But he was perfect man, and as such, like
us he must pray. He still prays. On earth
he prayed in the temple. He has gone into
the temple above to continue his prayer. As
our High Priest he has entere into the
most holy place, within the true tabernacle,
and there "he ever liveth to make interces-
sion for u.s.
His prayers were an index to his heart.
We may look through his petitions deep
down into his heart, and there from the
fountain of his life we see his affections
yelling up, and flowing out in mighty tide
of love toward all his people in all ages Of
the world.
He is our example. He does not ask us
to do what he would not do himself. When
he taught, that "men ought always to pray
and not to faint" he was himself practicing
what he preached to us. If he who knew
no sin found It necessary TO pray, much
IRE Isl necessary iogs us, : saA ap,.,s -
praved creatures, to pray. If it was not
unbecoming in the King of kings to pray,
surely we ought never to be ashamed to
pray.
Finally, if the Saviour taught so much by
precept and example about prayer, and if
the Bible introduces the subject of prayer
so many hundreds of times, and under SO
great variety of forms as it does, prayer
must be a very important agency in the econ
omy of grace. Lord teach us to pray.

A SOLEMN TRUTH.-Where God refuses
to correct, there God resolves to Destroy
There is no man SO near the edge, so near
the flames, so near hell, as he whom God
will not so much as spend rod upon.

THE KEY.-In order rightly to under
stand the voice of God in nature, we ought
to enter her temple with the Bible in our

has been constantly increasing its business ca
pacity till it now requires the services of about
twenty girls and several men in addition to the
able and efficient agent T. l.. Merrill.
Its machinery is so admirably adapted to the
various uses for which it is employed, that it
is enabled to manufacture and finish ready for
use over twenty-five thousand collars daily,
with bosoms and cuffs in proportion.
The style of the articles which it furnishes,
particularly the collars, is continually under

fickleness which the constant change in female

The Elgin Collar has been considered of late
the correct thing but is now being superseded

WASHINGTON.
Memorial Day.

WASHINGTON, May 3O-All the public offices
were closed to-day, and thousands went to Ar
Gngton to decorate the soldiers graves at the
cemetery. The President, Cabinet officers and
members of Congress and Others of prominence
left at noon for that place. Gen. Banks deliy-

No intelligence relative to the treaty has been

however, are still pending
The Louisiana Troubles.
Reports on the origin and character of the
difficulties in Louisiana were made to the
House to-day. Mr.. Scofeld, chairman and Mr..
McCreary gave circumstantal account of the
troubles, but did not recommend action on the
part of the Government They say the trouble
was not between the Government and officers
of Louisiana on one side and officers of the
United States on the other, but between the
friends and opponents of the administration of
Gov. Yarmouth 1t was mainly division or
quarrel among the leaders of the Republican
party in which many of the federal officers
were prominent actors, some npon one side and
some upon the other. The leaders of the Dem
ocratic also participated in it, sometimes in ALI
ance with one faction and sometimes with the
other, as interest or consideration of duty
seemed to require. The part taken by federal
officials in the quarrel, whether wise or unwise,
seemed to have originated entirely with them
selves. There was no trace of interference by
the Administration at Washington. This was
attested to by the declarations of the officers
themselves as well as by the fact that they were
very much divided in their affiliations. Mr..
Smith, of New Yord, concurred in the above
report with additions and qualifications, and
says it is not to be denied that in the new and
disturbed condition of things some unscrupu-
men have got into office in Louisiana. The
men who go South to hold Office and return
when they lose their Office are not confined to
any political party.

very great. The stormy scenes in the Cortes
