ADVICE TO THE GIRLS.

We have charity for fast girls. We
have often found them generous and
warm hearted and are fully ready to be-
lieve that their disregard of conventional
ties IS often the boldness of innocence.
For example, in some families the cham

who is almost a brother, and then of the
brothers intimate friend, who is treated
as one OF the family. When this free
style OF living is transferred from the shad-
ow OF the family to the apartments OF a
crowded hotel or boarding house, it gives
occasion for much free speaking and free
thihklng,--tor style of judgment that
often does the young girl great injustice
We have said that our Americans had
their faults. The want of conventional
limits of propriety between the sexes is
one OF them. The young French girl is
kept secluded, and never suffered to see
gentleman unmatched. In America, from
early childhood little boys, and girls
grow up together and on the whole it is
best they should. But in order that this
liberty should produce good effects, par
ents and guardians should necessarily
teach certain limits of propriety. There
are certain places, times and modes of in
tercourse that are proper places, times
and modes. There are certain other pla-
ces, times and modes that are improper,
and it ought to be part of the ear " train
ing of every girl to teach her this. Every
approach on the part of young girl to
any personal familiarity with q young
man, such as she might most innocently
, take with another girl, exposes her to
&nisconstruction which it is the duty OF
her Hother TO prevent by timely warn
ing.

have any embargo upon or any restriction to
the transfer OF 1t. General Gary, of Edge
field, took very much the same view of the
matter. Governor Bonham favored retaining
the stock in the hands of the original stock
holders. A compromise was suggested by Mr..
R. C. shiver, of Columbia, to the effect that
the stock should be offered to the society be-
fore any other disposition was made of 1t. In
General Buffers opinion the discussion was
premature He moved that the whole matter

LONDON. November Z.

LONDON, November z.
The Daily Telegraph, referring to the re-;
election of Grant, says: mo one deserved
better Of bis country, or is worthier of place
among the illustrlous men who have twice
held the Presidential office. England has had
cause to complain Of many things, but Presl-
dent Grants policy towards her has never
been wilfullY petulant or hostile" The Tele-
graph hopes the United States will now take
care of Mexico and Cuba.
The Standard upholds the principles on
which the Southern States seeded from the
Union, as opposed to Republicantsm, which
Il denounces as I" a dedication of the
temporary passions of the majority" and
as identified with personal and polti-
cal corruption: It argues that n us''nsn In eonse,
nartv. the States are loaded with enormous
debts, and the foreign holders of their secnr,
tiles receive nothing. It holds the Republi-
cans responsible also for the insurfectlon 10
Cuba, the anarchy In Mexico, and the murder
of the Emperor Macmillan. The Democrats
however, 1t considers no better.

WHAT CHRIST DID FOR US.

But think of what Jesus the Son of
God has done. He who was God, and
thus blessed forever, left the throne and
royalties of heaven, and stopped to yon-
der manger. There he lies; his mother
wraps him in swaddling- clothes, he
hangs upon her breast the Infinite is
clothed as an infant, the Invisible is
made manifest in flesh, the Almighty is
linked with weakness, for our sakes. O
matchless stoop of condescension If
the Redeemer God does this in order to
save US, shall it be thought thing i'm
possible for him to save the vilest of the
vile? Can anything be too hard for
him who comes from heaven to earth to
redeem? Pause not because of astonish-
ment but press onward. Do you see him
who was God over all, blessed forever,
living more than thirty years in the
midst of the sons of men, bearing the in
firmities of manhood, taking upon him
self our sicknesses, and sharing our sor-
rows; his feet weary with treading the
acres of Palestine his body faint often
times with hunger and thirst, and labor ;
his knees knit to the earth with midnight
prayer; his eyes red with weeping (for
oftimes Jesus wept,) tempted in all points
like as we are? Matchless spectacle
An incarnate God dwells among sinners,
and endures their contradiction What
glory flashed forth ever and anon from
the midst of his lowliness glory which
should render faith in him inevitable
Thou who didst walk the sea thou who
didst raise the dead, it is not rational &c
doubt thy power to forgive sins Didst
thou not myself put it so when thor
badest the man take up his bed anC
walk? whether is easier to say, Tn,
SINS be forgiven the; or to say, Rise VI
and walk?" Assuredly he is able t,
save to the uttermost them that com,
unto God by him; he was able even her,
ON earth In weakness to forgive sins
much more now that he is seated in hi
glory. He is exalted on high to be
Prince and Savior, to give repentanc
and remission of sins.-.Spuygeon

FAITH.

DIR. F. w. Krummacher relates this
beautiful and simple story Of faith, of
Rev. Mr.. Henke:
"a christian friend came one day to
this man of God, who unhesitatingly in
vited him to dine with him, although he
knew not what he could set before him.
When the bell rang at noon, the servant
passed several times through the room,
with an anxious countenance, in order,
unobservedly, to beckon her master out.
Henke, however, was not aware of her
meaning, and only reminded her, at last,
that was time to lay the cloth. The
servant was perplexed and requested her
master to step out to her for a minute.
Sir she began in a mournful voice,
you wish me to lay the cloth butdon't
you know we have scarcely piece of dry
bread in the house, and you sent your
last penny to sick person this day?'
'Ahp answered Henke with smile,
is that all you have to say to me? Do
but lay the cloth as usual, it will be
time enough for the meat when we sit
down to the table The maid, not a
little astonished, did as she was told.
Let us take our seat said the friendly
host, with cheerful countenance. They
sit down to the empty table, and the
worthy, childlike man offers up prayer
On his saying 'Amen!' the door-bell is
rung, and there is basket with abun.
dance of food, which neighbor had felt
constrained to send to him. Calmly as
if nothing particular had happened, Hen
Ike ordered all dishes to be filled; anc
then looking sm1I1ngIy at the astonished
servant, he said: We'll, have you still
anything to object to our kind entertain
er?'"
"These," says DR.. Krummacher, care
valuable facts; but such things canno
be initiated. 1t is certainly easy to or
der the cloth to be laid but nothing i
accomplished by that However, if yo1
possess anything of Henkes faith, thel
do not hesitate to order the cloth to b
laid. A Royal Host will provide tn
feast"
