RELIGIOUS.

The EXPERIENCES OF l.IFE.-I am sure
can chose when commence the work of the
day but when the week Is ended, and, still
more, when many years are ended, look back
and find that God has laid out my path. 1t =
like ridlngon a railroad. While In the cars \
can see no track; look out upon the country,
and the cars seem running without track
see nothing as long as sit there but let Inc
look out at the rear ofthe car, and see the tive
rails OF the track by which l came. So 1t is
with experience. l see the path by which
have been led. Jacob went out to Laban, and
was gone for long years but when he came
back lie saw how God had led him by the way;
he went out alone, and came back great band.
When Joseph dreamed that the sheves bowed
down to his, he must have found how difficult
1t was of Interpretation; but when he looked
back, over the events of long life, he could
see how Gods hand was in 1t. So the specific
events of life have.been ordained with reference
to us. Every man is doing wolk which God
has prepared for him. We must use the means
God has put in our hands; there mast be no
listlessness. These two doctrines stand togeth-
er, like the figure Of Diana. As you approach
the temple. gates there is a frown upon her
countenance. but rs You look back it Is changed
TO smile. God tells us to bear our burdens
every day, and when we look back We shall see
that the difficulties that appeared 10 frown
upon us as We faced them at last smiled upon
us. So shall God nurture, guide, and mould us
until he shall bring us at last to the perfect
stature of men.-Rer. j. n. Thomas.

wished it to be understood that no such plan had
been submitted to the committee. He understood
that Mr. Cheesebrough had had an informal conver-
sation with the Secretary OF the committee, Mr..
Nimmo and left with him some pamphlets that he
believed set forth the scheme in detail. The COM

avoided receiving any proposals as to mechanical

THE COTTON AND PRODUCE ExoHAHaEaS

Matters at the Cotton and Produce exchanges
have been very dull during the past few days.
The state OF feeling is one OF uncertainty in both
places. At the Produce Exchange 1t seems to be-
feared that there win shortly be stoppage or
trade arrivals from the West and this causes an
uncertainty IN prices. which ma kes merchants
afraid either TO buy or 10 sell. In the meantime,
shipments 10 Europe continue lively, and have had
no falling on; but these are greatly made from
merchandise which has been in store up to this
time. On the other hand, there Is great anxiety
to rush on shipments from the West as the closing
OF the canals will have much to do in sending up
prices by the increase in ireights.
At the Cotton exchange the feeling Is equally
dull but from other reasons. The rate OF exchange
is at present very nigh, and merchants have diff
hculty ia negotiating their bills. In consequence
there Is but d small demand for merchandise, anu
In some instances the crops are not yet gathered.
During one week the prices have fallen on more
