"FlFTY DOLLARS, OR FIFTY CENrs."-There
is on the borders of the Connecticut small
town, which, though weak and feeble, still,
with the help Of the Home Missionary Society,
supported mi9ister and maintained regular
divine worship.
About the time when IL became necessary to
pay the ministers salary, there moved into the
place man who gained his living by carting
coal ana other similar labor 1t was motto I'd
that this man was very regular in his attendance
at church, and was never absent from the prayer
meeting but in pecuniary point Of view he
was not consdcreda n valuable acquisition.
IL was the custom, when the salary was dua,
for one of the deacons to collect all he could
from the people, and TO obtain the balance irom
the home missionary society. ln accordlnc
with this custom, one fine morning Deacon A.,
man of considerable means and considerable
peEuriousness, started forth, subscription paper
in hand, to see how much lie could squeeze out
CT the parish for the support of their minister
The first person he met was the above men-
toned cod-caner, moving along the road with
load Of that material. The deacon consider
ed within himself that it might be worth while
to ask him to contribute (seeing that he was
good sort of person, and every little helps) and
so accosted hin with, "Good morning. Mr.. b.,
are you willing to give anything toward the sup
port of our pastor." at the same time handing
him the subscription paper.
The man stopped thoughtfully II oment or
two, drew a pencil out of his pocket, and with
his dirt-begrimed hand headed the list with the
sum of $50.
The deacon was 50 taken by surprise that he
could hardly believe the evidence of his eyes
and, thinking the man had made mistake, and
not wishing to take advantage, asked, "Did
you not mean that for fifty cents ?"
The coal-carrier turned and drew himself up
70 his full height, aud with great earnestness
replied. 81 do not value the Gospel at fifty cents
a year"
This answer placed the case in a new light.
The deacon went Immediately to the pastor, re-
lated the incident, and said: "If that man can
give $50, can give $3.50"
The same spirit actuated the rest of the
church on hearing the story, and in few days
the salary was raised by the people themselves,
without the necessity OF applying for outside
aid.

CASE OF CHOLERA IN NEW YoRk.-A let
ter from Sew York gives the following case of
cholera, the like Of which may easily be got
"Riclard III. Hall, Il choir singer in St. IgLa-
tius's Church, Gied on Friday, OF what a num-
Der OF physicians supposed to be an aggravated
case Of Asiatic cholera. He had predisposition
to diarrhea, and has INDUCED once day for
several weeks in cucumbers. On the night Of
his sickness he had eaten them second time
for supper, and had also eaten ice-cream and
drank ale. lie WAS attacked at o'clock in the
morning with a severe stomaehache, accompa-
MED by violent vomiting and purgng.
a. four he was in state OF collapse, with vio-
lent cramps in the legs and arms. lie was al
most puseless his eStremities We're cold, his
eyes sunkcn and his breathing difficult. Large
doses of capiscum, spirits Of camphor and spir-
its OF ammonia Were given him, and his entire
body was rubbed with brandy and cayenne
pepper. Neither this treatment nor the scbse-
quent application of L mustard pOultice produc-
ed any effect, and the patient died at twenty
minntes past five. The agony hc suffered was
great and unceasing.
Medical men We're divided in opinion, judgi
both from the symptoms and the autopsy. The
majority we're decided in pronouncing the case
| one OF Asatic cholera, but the coroner's jury
| biought in verdict Of acute cholera morbus,
aiiSin. from over indulgence while suffering
| from prostialed diarihea. a similar case TO that
OF Hail WAS that OF Mary Welsh, in dirty tene'
ment, ll1 symptoms were about the same and
| her prrdisposition TO diarihea the same. HeI
| skin was purplish and greatly consested, espe

SALVATION AND MoBALlTY.-A religion
that will make the sermon on the mount play q
second part In your earthly career, comes it I'M
der any nane-Cavinist, Methodist, Baptist or
Catholic-that religion decline, or abandon SO
far, and draw nearer to Him who knew better
than all the schools, wherein lies the best dest-
ny OF the soul.
There is no salvation for sinful soul except
pure life. Hence, if Christ efiectually assists
men to this pure soul, he is mans Saviour, and
the pune soul is the salvation. II good works
are the salvation, Christ is still the Saviour
Hence, salvation by good works, and salvation
by Jesus the Redee mer are so inserarably llta
ded that any effort to separate must result In AN
insult to the Cross on the one hand, and to the
sermon on the Mount on the other. 1t cannot
be that Christ would save a race in their
sins, but from their sins and hence the flight
from sin is always a flight to the bosom OF God.
We have come from evil days-days when
public men who stand forth as members OF the
Christian Church. even Of the Churches called
orthodox, hesitate not to carry in the same heart
u salvation by faith and willingness to receive
eaies can estabiiIsSn biiIn9G the public enpo" charged
even here Confessed, tsat4 t4Ak 9Ie & S'I %
of Christians who are getting their salvation by
faith and there fortunes by rascality. II the
parties could be found who have i'll the past
brought about this enforcement between saliva
tion and good works, they should be urged to
come forward and confess their sins before the
nineteenth centAry, so injured IN allthe sacred
places of its soul. In the name of injured vir-
tue, in the name of public calamity, come and
coming, they should read and preach, not only
the grand philosophy of Paul, blt the still grand
er morals of Jesus Christ.
There is Christianity that will save the
world. 1t has not only faith but 1t has a NOR
alty as essential as its faith. 1t not only says
"Believe and be saved" but it assigns damna'
ton TO him who leads wicked life. There is
Christianity that will not only fill heaven
with saints, but earth with good citizens. In
it Paul and Christ are not rudely separated, and
the human placed above the Divine, but the
morals of the gospels came back to mankind
and the anxiety for faith is no greater than the
hnngering after righteousness .-Rer. Dr. .Slulng

The supply OF Rain has been somewhat un-
equally distributed of late. Throughout the
West and Southwest there have been severe
aud continuous storms, some of them causing
widespread disaster, whilst the rainfall has
been So heavy that the little streams have been
swollen into torrents and floods, aud the crops
are suffering from excessive drenching. On the
other hand since May last, in the Middle States
and part OF New England, there has been
scarcely any rain, aud all vegetation is parched
and whitening. The small showers that have
fallen in this region have come from capricious
local storms of whichthere have been so few
