Pray for Your Minister.

In all the range of objects for interces
sion, there is no more needy subject. Paul,
with his splendid gifts and riches, besought
Christians to pray that utterance might be
given him, that he might open his mouth
boldly. And if Paul needed the prayers of
Christians, what minister can do without
them? They need all the grace of the pri-
vate Christian, and in addition, grace for the
right discharge of all their high spiritual
duties. And the reflex influence of prayer
for pastor upon the people is very great,
One of the greenest spots upon earth was
the parish of St. Peters Dundee, when the
lovely MCheyne was its pastor. He thus
records in his dairy the spirit of the prayer
which prevailed among the people; MANY
prayer meetings were formed, some of which
we're strictly private, and others, conducted
by persons of some Christian experience,
we're opened to persons under concern, at
one anOther's houses. At the time of my re-
turn from the mission to the Jews, found
thirty nine such meetings held a0eeky, in
connection with the congregation" Oh,
that this beautiful instance of cooperation
with a minister by the people prevailed il
all our churches? When shall this pattern
be initiated? This is the earnestness of re
ligion. Ministers will never labor in vain
among such people. With such people to
pray for them, holy M'CheyneS might be
greatly multiplied all over the Church.
VIII not protesting Christians ponder this?
When people pray more for their ministers,
there will be better preachers, and far bet
ter hearers. The captiouR, fault-fnding,
complaining members of churches, who are
never satisfied, who, if they have nothing
else to fret them, will complain of the color
of the ministers hair, or the tie in his cravat
or the way he pronounces Beelzebub or
Canaan, are but rarely seen in the place
where prayer is wont to be made. We have
known venerable, learned, eloquent, and
pious senator melted under a sermon, III
which little bit of Yankee school-master,
who looked like note of interrogation, and
whose thoughts never rose higher than syn
tax, could see nothing but what was worthy
of cen8ure. The more people pray for their
minister, the more they will be edited by
his services; and the more intelligent they
are, the more they will overlook the defects
of an earnest ministry.-Reo Nicholas Mr.

s Brave Boy.

Napoleon used to speak of "fOur o'clock
in the morning" courage, which he thought
the only kind worth much admiration. He
meant, we suppose, what is called presence
of miud-the ability to decide rapidly upon
aud as rapidly to do the best thing or nearest
the best thing required in an emergency
There is perhaps no faculty more decidedly
Unborn and natural than this When a great
emergency, at sea, for instance, arises, by
which a number of lives are put in peril, there
is usually some one, not perhaps of those
in authority, who asserts his right of lead
ersbip, takes command, it may be, out of the
hands of the officers, and inspires the whole
tremulous crowd with fortitude. This abil-
ity, this born power of leadership, this rapid
and decisive quality of decision, was recent,
ly exhibited by mere lad at Dawlish, Eng
land, during q peril ot which we fud an &C
count in a letter written by Admiral Craigie
to the Secretary of the Life-boat Assooia
ton.
A boy, Frederick Perraine by name, and
only fourteen years of age, had occasion to
90 from some place near ExmOuth in a small
diugy, when the tide suddenly swept him
out into the open sea. There was brisk
gale from the n. E., and the boy immedi-
ately got up his tiny mast and sail, vainly
hoping to fnd some sheltered place where he
could land. lie was fast driven, however,
upon the hea, breakers. When he was
within a hundE I yards of Dawlish Beach
he anchored, in the desperate hope of hold
ing on until the sea should little subside.
He had now attracted the attention of those
on shore to his perilOus situation, but it was
impossible to send him aid without too great
a risk of life. Nothing could live in the
broken water, with occasional heavy rollers,
except a life.boat, and the ljfe,boat was at
Teignmouth. The little fellow in the dingy
made up his mind that she would soon swamp
where she was; so he rapidly got up his
mast and sail again, weighed his anchor and
stood to the Westward, his craft almost on
her beam ends. with lightning precision
and decision, he selected the only spot
where he could possibly have landed, and
boldly bearing up, he pushed his little boat
into the foamy waters.

Science and the Bible.

The thing to be lamented is, that the mo-
ment men Of science get hold of any fact
they instantly begin to set it in opposition
to Gods word. Bat the Wanted ''fact" of
Tuesday often takes another shape on We'd
nesday, and by Thursday is found to be no
fact at all. The truth is that geology, as a
science consists mainly of probable guesses.
THAT field of peat, says Sir Charles
Lyell, "has probably been 1000 years in
course of formation mo, replies friend
of his own, in published criticism, 81 think
it quite possible that he has only been 100
years growing" A piece of pottery is found
IN the valley of the Nile, and geologist i'm
mediatey argues that it must have lain there
more than 10000 years. But an antiquary
soon points out marks upon it which show it
to be less than 900 years old. Yet it is
upon guesses of this kind, which do not
amount to a tenth part of proof, that the
Lyells aud Owens and Colensos venture
boldly to assert that it is clear that Moses
knew nothing whatever of the subject on
which he was writing Just in the same
| spirit 90 DUuSen anu his diOWerS unheSi-
tatingly assert that the growth of languages

600 years old. We refer them to the con.
fusion of tongues described by Moses, which
at once dseipates their dream. "Ohl but
chat was a miracle, they replied, and We
nave made up our minds never to believe il
miracle" Very well, gentlemen, there We
must leave you; for men who make up their
minds before incOirAag are not acting like
reasonable beings. A dozen other little
untoes are now at work in the same lauda
ole fashion. One set is quite certain that a
man was "develOPed" out of an ape. Well
and what was the ape "developed' out Of
They do not know. Our comfort in all this
IS, that this influenza will wear itself out like
the Tractarian, or like the infdel fashion o.
the days of Bolingbroke. Men have beer
striving to get rid Of the Bible and its in
convenient morality for nearly these two
thousand years; but they were never further
off from their end than they are at present

FALLING OVER A WHEEL BARROW.-Ii
you have occasion to use wheel-barrow
leave it, when you are through with it, in
front of the house, with the handles toward
the door. A wheel barrow is the most com
plicated thing to fall over on the face of the
earth. A man would fall over one when he
would never think of falling over any thing
else; he never knows when he has got through
falling over it, either, for it will tangle his
legs and his arms, turn over with him and
rear up in front of him, anG just as he pauses
to congratulate himself, it takes new turn,
and scoops more skin off of him, and he com
mences to evolute anew, and bump himself,
on fresh places. A man never ceases to fall
over wheel-barroW until it turns completely
on its back, or brings up against something
it cannot upset. 1t is the most inofensiye
looking object there is, but it is more dan
gerous than a locomotive, and no man is Sc
cure with one unless he has tight hold of
its handles, and is sitting down on something
A wheel-barrow has its uses, without doubt,
but in its leisure moments it is the great
bIighting curse on true dignity.-Danbayy

Unskilled Mechanics.

1t is misfortune that the old fashioned
habit of subjecting lads to the training Of
apprenticeship has been suffered to die out.
The lack of systematic education in the
practice of the industrial arts has already
produced serious effects upon many of our
trades in which skilled labor is needed, and
there are loud complaints from all classes of
our employers against the imperfect methods
Of work which have unfortunately become
the rule rather than the exception. = X i X
Young men plunge headlong into avocations
tor which they are totally unsuited by ma
ture or by education; the useful life of the
artisan is too often regarded with undisguised
contempt by those who prefer to starve in
clerkshIps rather than to live comfortable
lives through the gains of labor; country
lads come to the clues with no degree of fit
ness for city work, and frequently fall into
evil ways; and The ranks Of the skilled work
men, which must be kept full in order to pre-
serve our industries from decay, are chiefly
recruited from abroad. Ask the owner If
any one of cur large printing offices, who
gives employment to many men, If the prin-
Ter is as well trained for his work as he
should be, and the answer Is the negative
and why? Because the custom Of appren-
ticing boys to that trade has fallen into
dleuse, chlefy-.@rough the operations of the
trade union system. Inquire of any ma
chinist, who has hundreds of good workmen
under pay, what proportion of Americans
fnd their way to his shop among the throng
Of applicants for places, and his reply will
be that the foreign element is largely in ex-
cess of the native. The same reason is
given in explanation-the foreign workman
is trained from bOyhood to the avocation he
elects to follow, and the American workman
is unframed. The statistics of our manu-
featuring industries for the past ten years
show that this condition of atflirs has grad
ually grown worse, and the problem OF the
best method of reforming the evil is one
which demands attention.-New York School
Journal.

most important period of life, where the Sab
bath is disregarded, the Bible derided or
wholly neglected, and the religion of Jesus
perverted. 1t may be urged, let others at
tend to the cause Of education. The answer
is, there are none to do it, and if the young
are to receive culture of mind and heart, the
missionary must inaugurate the work, and
in doing this he only follows in the footsteps
of the great Reformers, including the immOr-
tai Calvin, who having to refute the same
errors that are met in this land, clearly per-
ceiyed the intimate connection between pure
religion and true knowledge, and hence
labored earnestly to spread both among the
people. We trust our beloved Church has
been called to do a similar work in Brazil,
and its Importance and magnitude call for
the prayers, sympathies and support of all
who love the cause of our Lord.

Over the frst roller Sac vent He seagul

Over the first roller she went like a seagull,
but then she was suddenly becalmed, so that
it seemed inevitable that she must soon
breach to, be rolled over and knocked to
pieces. The small mariner, however, re-
NAMED perfectly collected, with his tiller in
one hand and the sheet in the other. Then
the gale again caught his sail, and over the
second roller he went right upon the beach
There was now no need of the life boat from
Teignmouth, and she was countermanded
Admiral Craigie, supported in his opinion
by naval friend of great experience WIN
saw the whole, testifes that this boy of four
teen did the very best that could be done
under the circumstances, took the only course
which afforded the least chance of escape,
and showed Ito use the Admiral's word that
courage, self-reliance, and judgment are
the chief elements of success on such coca
sions."
What contrast does the calm bravery Of
this boy exhibit to the panic fear often be-
trayed by men in like emergeucies!-the help
less terror, he'suicidal prostration, and tht
miserable despair! The lad was young, but
he was old enough to comprehend fully the
exigency of the situation. His judgment
may have been no better than that of many
men similarly imperiled, but such as it was
he was master of it. We have all love Of
life, but how many of us have a trustworthy
instinct of self representation? How many
since it is felo desc, in one form or another,
which fills so many graves?

Productions of the Sandwich Islands

Much might be written of the produc-
tons of the islands; but suffice it to say. that,
for sugar and cotton particularly, they are
unequaIed. 1t pays to cultivate sugar, in
spite of the duties required to be paid at the
San Francisco custom house. In 1870 the
amount produced was about 20, 900 tons, aud
that could be increased at least fve-fold as
we'll as every other production, if annexa-
ton could only remove the duties. Should
the islands be annexed to America, those
who hold property might become very
wealthy. In fact, with such condition,
there-could hardly be more alluring field
for Investment than these islands.
Southern men who manage to get LOO
or 1 800 bounds of sugar from an acre by
hard work will understand something about
the value of land which will produce, with
out extra cultivation, an average of $4,000
pounds per acre. | have known of instan-
ces of "a production of over six tons to the
acre. II is also an error to suppose that
small farmers cannot'do well such has been
proved at the islands in many instances.

The PATH in which we are to walk to

IN SPITE of all the tokens Of Gods mercy,
sin has not yet disappeared from the world;
but mercy is stronger than sin.
RIGHTEOUSNESS is a fair ornament in a
land, and a strong pillar upholding the gov
eminent, the country and the people; but
righteousness and peace must stand together,
WHEN we have spoken to the Lord in
prayer, We must compose ourselves to hear
him speak to US by his word, and to expect
an answer by his Spirit, or in his Providence
THE ANGUISH Of guilt, and a senoe of
Gods anger, are a deep hell, from which
none but God can rescue US.
IN BUILDING the city of God, let US not
think so much about the present feeble be-
ginning, and the difficulties still to be over
come, but rather upon the sure ground Of
the divine promises, and the great Master
builder, who has in his own hands the plan
of the city.
No NATION on earth, or part Of nation,

IT'S WELL for him whose fear of death

The NIGHT of trouble may be very dark,
but as long as the man who is pressed down
by the Christening Land of God, can rise at
once again to prayer, his lamp is not gone
out.

Coming into the Kingdom.

Soon after was settled over the church
in H, one of my members said to me,
Il don't know what to think of my hu8-
band. He meets everything that is said to
him about religion with a laugh, or some
thing about the inconsistency of professed
Christians.
Soon after, that man came to my door.
At last he said, "Well, l might as we'll out
with it, and the tears came into his eyes.
81 have found out that I am poor, miser-
able sinner. Can you tell me what 1 ought
to do to be saved?'
God had heard the prayers of the wife
who had been so earnestly pleading at the
throne of grace. l tried to point him to
the Saviour. Then he asked me to pray
with him-that proud man, who had made
light of all serious things. There on his
knees he cOnsecrated his life to Gods SER
vice, and from that day he lived an earnest,
consistent Christian life. And so one soul
was born into Chrst's kingdom.
