Strike the Knot.

Strike the knot" said gentleman one
day to his son, who, tired and weary, was
leaning on his axe over log which be had
been trying to cleave. Then, looking at the
log, the gentleman saw how the boy had
hacked and Clipped all around the knot with
out hitting it. Taking the axe, he struck a
few sharp blows on the knot and split the
log without difficulty. Smiling, he returned
the axe to his son, saying always strike
the knot. That was good advice 1t is
good for you, my children, as it was for the
boy to whom it was frat given. It's capt.
tai maxim to follow when you are in trou-
bic. Have you a hard sum to do at school?
Have you got to face difficulty? Are you
leaving home to live for the first time among
strangers? Strike the knott Look your
trouble in the eye, as the bold lion hunter
looks in the face of the lion Never shrink
from a painful duty, but step right up to it
and DO it. Yes, strike the knot. Strike
the knot, boys and girls, and you will al
ways conquer your difficulties Western

The Old Catholic Congress-.

At the third Old Catholic Congress Able
Michaud delivered what is described as
speech of passionate eloquelce on the posi-
ZION and prospects of the cause in his own
country. He assured his hearers, from his
own personal knowledge, that there was a
large number in France, even among the
clergy, who were with them at heart, but
under the double pressure of ecclesiastical
and civil restraints did not as yet dare to
avow themselves; nor are Old Catholics per-
mitted by the existing French law to meet
for worship except in private. DIR. Heiden-
helm and Dean Howson then briefly con-
veyed to the meeting the assurance of Eng
fish sympathy, the Dean claiming to speak
expressly for the Bishop of Winchester
Bishop Reinkens finally responded to the.
many kindly greetings he had received, and
expressed his confidence in the future growth
of the movement, under the Divine blessing
which had SO signahy attended its course
hitherto. Their organized congregations al
ready amounted 70 over 10000, whereas
when he took coansel with his friends at NJ
remberg in August, 1870, they were but
fourteen.
Resolutions were also passed providing
funds for the education of students for the
priesthood, which Bishop ReinkenS declared
to be matter of pressing Importance, and
the more so, as Professor Knoodt and others
insisted that clerical education in Germany
during the last ten or twelve years had sunk
so low that New Catholic priests who joined
the movement would not be qualified for pa
rochial cures.
Schultz was himself careful to explain
that be considered his own responsibility for
the movement almost at an end. For the
last three years he has lsbored indefatigably
at its organization, which is now so far CON-
pleted that henceforth the conduct of affairs
passes into the hands of the Bishop and his
! Synod, which is TO meet next Easter. Nor
did Reinkens shrink from assuming the lead
ership thus devolved upon him. 1t was OBJ
served that while the political and national
aspect of the question seemed to be upper
most for the moment in the minds of the
lay speakers at the Congress, who felt the
urgent practical Importance of securing the
recognition of the Prussian Government, the
Bishop lost no opportunity of insisting OF
the essentially religious character of the
conflict in which they were engaged. His
closing speech ct the public meeting was ar
emphatic vindication of the popular use Of
the Bible.
DR.. Schultz reminded his hearers, with
pardonable pride, of the far greater advance
made in three years by the present move
ment than was achieved in much longer
period by Luther. There is one homely les
son, however, which may proftably be learnt
from the experience of the German Refor
nation when once it did begin to advance
which is conveyed in the familiar proverb
Festina zente. AS long as men like Schultz
and Reinkens are able to retain the contro

overwork-A Sensible Protest.

A great amount of very perniciOus twad-
die has lately been Published on the subject
of the alleged overwork in which many of
the greatest, and possibly some Of the least,
men of the present generation indulge, in
the pursuit either of wealth and fame, or of
high social position. Work is divine. With
out work, human life would be intolerable,
and man would be little better than a
sponge, an oyster, or limpet upon the rock,
which only exist to imbibe the nOurishment
that they are too imbecile or too pOwerless
to seek. But like all the abundant bless
ings spread around mankind, work is only
beautiful and good in its degree. 1t must
be used, and not abused Too much of any
thing is not good for us. Vice itself is but
virtue degenerated and dissipated by being
forced into extremes. In like manner, work,
If not carried beyond the point at which all
the functions of mind aud body are exercis.
ed without undue strain upon either, is one
of the greatest, if not the very greatest, Of
all the blessings that are showered upon the
human race. There is far too great dispo-
sition in all countries to look upon labor as
something inflicted upon man as curse for
his disobedience; to interpret literally, and
not according to the spirit, the penalty laid
upon Adam, and to take advantage of the
misiuterpretatiOns to shirk labor altogether,
or to impose it unduly upon the weaker
This doctrine requires not only discourage
ment, but disproof; for the inevitable result
of its adoption would be either to reduce
men to the state of saVages, when the only
labor undertaken would be that of the chase
of wild animals, or the capture of birds and
fish to provide food for the sustenance of
life, or the establishment of slavery, when
none but slaves would work upon the COM
pulsion of their lords and masters. But
work looked upon with the eye of reason, is
the choicest advantage of our mortal state,
the only motive power that keeps not only
men, but the solar system and all the count
less orbs of the bOundless universe of God,
in a condition Of healthy and progressive
perpetuity.

Neatness.

In its essence, and purely for its own
sake, neatness is found in few. Many a
man is neat for appearance sake; there is an
instructive feeling that there is power in it.
When man conaults physician or lawyer
tor the first time, or comes to rent house
or borrow money, he will come in his best
dress; lady will come in her carriage. A
man that means business and honesty comes
as he is, just as you will find him in his
store, his shop, his counting house. The
most accomplished gamblers dress well; the
most enterprisiDg swindlers are faultlessly
clothed, but countless multtudes are but
whitewashed sepulchers. Too many "don't
care, so long as it will not be SEEN" Wash
ington Allston, the great artist, the accom-
plshed gentleman, suddenly left his friend
standing at the door of splendid Boston
mansion as they were about entering for a
party, because he had just remembered that
he had hole in his stockings. 1t could not
be seen or known, but the very knowledge OF
its existence made him feel that he was less
man than he ought to be; gave him feel
ing of inferiority.
When you see neat, tidy, clearly, cheer
full dwelling, there you will find a joyous,
loving, happy family. But if filth and squal,
or, and disregard for refining delicacies OF
life prevail in any household, there will be
found in the moral character of the inmates
much that is low, degrading, uuprincipled,
vicious and disgusting. Therefore as we
grow in years, we ought. to watch eagerly
against neglect of cleanliness in person and
tidiness in dress.-HaEs Journal Of Health.

Open Communion.


Week before last there was meeting IN
Brooklyn of the Long Island Baptist As
ISOLATION. The proceedings we're not such
as to attract general attention, save in the
matter of Rev. J, Hyatt Smith aud his de-
termination to practice "open communion.
A report was presented to the Association
touching this matter, calling for committee
to examine into it and report at the next an
nual meeting. This, we are told, brought
up Mr.. Smith, and he stated his own plat
form and that of his church, in which they
are heartily agreed and which one of his
deacons present emphatically endorsed. Mr..
Smith creed Is substantially that inmersionis
the only baptism necessary to communion; but
be would not disturb any Christian at the
Lords table about whose baptism he had any
doubt, nor if he knew that such communicate
had not been baptized. He cited case in
point and challenged any pastor or deacon
in the Convention, who would turn such a
one away, to rise up. Five brethren only
rose out of 800. He continued to say that
his church spread the Lords table and not
Baptist table, and, while he held to i'm
mersOn as the true mode of baptism, he and
his church were ready TO commune with any
Christian who loved the Lord Jesus Christ
in sincerity and believed in Him for saliva
ton.
DIR. Sarles offered resolution as a substi-
tute for the report-namely, that the Lee
Avenue church be stricken from the roll Of
the Long Island Baptist Association. A
lively and wide range of discussion followed,
but the advocates of slow and calm action
gained the point, and DR.. Sarles' resolution,
with many amendments, was voted down and
the committees resolution adopted, ordering
a committee to investigate and report next
year.
When the vote was taken Mr.. Smith stood
up and said, eve deny your authority and
defy your power
A Mr.. Brown, of the First Baptist church,
wanted his church included in the commit
tees inquiries, since, as he declared, there
are more than 800 open communicates il
that society, the names of more than zoo
Of whom, including four trustees, he had on
record. 1t came out, also, in the discussion
that open communion sentiments prevail very
largely in the denomination included in the
Long Island Association.
The proceedings Illustrate the tendencies
of the times. Little by little, it will be i'm
possible for the Baptists to maintain their
present position. Men of liberal culture
and enlarged charity will arise in this de-
nomination, beginning in such centres as
New York, who will make their influence
felt. Slowly, but surely this influence will
travel South, where the largest number Of
Baptists live, and they too will awaken from
their errors and wonder how it was possible
for them to act as they have been doing.

short he must. Success with him is as with
all other classes, dependent on good manage
ment and judicious economy. Reformation
is what is wanted, going back to first and
sound principles-that is, living within ones

in an ordinary way. If rich, then indulge
in extravaganza; but never attempt what we
cannot afford. If we do SO, no business will
pay, honestly conducted. The general cry
now is, corruption and dishonesty have seized
upon all classes. Such is the result of ex-

Sensible Words.

John II. Dent, of Floyd county, Georgia,
writes as follows to the Country Gentleman:
"We hear from all quarters the general
complaint that farming don't pay and see
a general disposition to change to some 9TH
er occupation. Why does not farming pay !?
The earth produces in abundance; grain,
they say, has become drug the grasses are
abundant; all other crops are bountiful; as
much cotton made as when cultivated with
slaves. The truth is, the farmers have
changed from their former economical and
prudent habits, and embarked in extrava-
gance. Hence our expenses exceed our in.
comes. 1t is all folly for the farmer to try
to keep up the appearances in his family
which we see among persons of great wealth.
Our incomes are derived from hard work in
cultivating the earth, from which only 80
much can be made, whilst with bankers,
stock brokers', merchants, and others who
live by speculations, fortunes may. be easily
and rapidly made when in luck. But how
many fail to the few that succeed With
the farmer it is different; rapid fortunes can
not be accumulated, but steady income can
be made annually from farming, and although
small, it may become an independence if ju
dicious economy is observed. remember
we'll when our wives and daughters required
only seven yards of calico to make dress;
after a while they came up to ten, now to
fifteen yards. So it is with every thing else.
Hence we may lay it more to the fashions
than to any thing else that farming doesn't
pay Our wants have become unreasonable
This is not confined to the women of the
farm alone, but the men are rather in the
advance. Every department of business has
become tainted with this mania. Hence the
prices of every thing must be advanced to
keep up the order of things. But only SO
much food can be consumed, consequently its
price is regulated by supply and demand
When it comes to pleasures, fashions, and
imaginary wants, the demand is unlimited

Regular Eating.

Half of all ordinary disease would be ban
ished from civilized life, and dyspepsia be-
come almost unknown, if everybody would
eat but thrice day at regular times, and
not an atom between meals, the intervals be-
ing not less that five hours, that being the
time required to digest full meal and pass
it out the stomach.
If person eats between meals, the pro.
cess of digestion of the food already in the
stomach is arrested, until the last which has
been eaten is brought into the condition of
tbs former meal, just as if water is boiling
and ice is put in, the whole ceases to boil
until the ice has been melted and brought
to the boiling point, and the whole boils to-
gether.
But it is law of nature that all food be-
gins to decay, to rot, after exposure to heat
and moisture for certain time. If meal
is eaten, and in two hours another, the whole
remains undigested for seven hours, before
which time the rottening process commences,
and the man has his stomach full of carrioD
the very idea of which is horribly disgust
ing; but that such is the case the unendura-
BILE odor of the bechings demonstrate.
As, then, all the food in the stomach is
in a rottDg condition, in a state of fermen-
tive decay, it becomes unfit, for the purposes
of nutrition and for making good, pure blood
Small wonder is it that dyspeptics have such
a variety of symptoms, and aches, and COM
plants in every part of the system, for there
is not one drop of pure blood in the whole
body; hence the nerves, which feed on this
impure and imperfect blood, are not pro-
perly nourished, and, as consequence, be-
come diseased. They " complain; they are
hungry, and like hungry man, are peevish,
fretful, restless. We call it nervousness, and
no one ever knew dyspeptic who was not
restless, fretfO1, ssssssy, and essentially dis
agreeable, ftful and uncertain.
The stomach is made up of number of
muscles, all of which are brought into requi-
sition in the process of digestion. But no
muscle can work always. The busy heart
is in a state of perfect repose for one-third
Of its time. The eye can wink twice in a
second, but this could not be continued five
minutes. The hands and feet must have
rest. and so with the muscles of the stomach
they only can rest when there is no work
for them to do-no food in the stomach to
digest. Even at five hours interval, and
eating thrice day, they are kept constantly
at work from breakfast until the last meal
is disposed of, usually ten o'clock at night.
But pultitudes eat heartily within an hour
of bedtime; thus, while the other portions
of the body are at rest, the stomach is kept
laboring until almost daylight, and made to
begin again at breakfaSt-time. No wonder
is it that the stomach is worn out-has lost
it's power of action. Many girls become
dyspeptic before they are out of their teens,
in consequence of being about the house and
nibbling at everything they lay their eyes
on, that is good to eat.--HaWs Journal of

Five and thirty years later, this boy hav-

turning to his house one day, an elderly
gentleman seated alone in his drawing-room;
his feet on each side of the Italian marble

A Fisher Of Men.

Many years ago, the good, sensible rector
Of an Irish village found some boys playing
marbles in the ball alley. He was toe much
interested to be deemed an intruder; besides,
his benevolent cOuntenance easily purchased
the youngsters goodwill. One of them, a
little ragged apprentice to every kind of
mischief, full Of mimicry and winning man
ners, was firing of his Jokes with reckless
prodigality, and the gentleman's keen eye
saw, as he thought, the sparks of genius
flashing from beneath the owners rags and
dirt. Taking fancy to the little homely
bundle Of wit, he brides him home with few
sweetmeats, and there teaches him the al
phabet and grammar, and the rudiments Of
the classics. After exhausting his own fund
Of instruction, be sends him to a neighboring
