A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE.
sFor want of nail the shoe was lost;
Ia. ,f chna tho hnrSn was lost

For WdnC Ol d llOESC Ilic lluoA Nt'o iool
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.'
Here is an instance of what the want of
nail cost Farmer Careless. He had just fin
ished milking, and, with a steaming pail in
each hand, walked out of the barn'yard to
bear his load to theh house. In passing through
the garden gate, he noticed that one of the
nails holding the latch was broken and the
bar was hanging loose. Half minute Of
time, one small nail, and two blows with ham.
mer would have fixed it but our farmer was
in hurry and couldn't attend to the matter
Just then, so, leaving the mending for another
time, he trudged along the path. just there
was his mistake, as was shown by five conse-
quences. A COW pushed opened the neg lected
gate and walked into Farmer Careless gar
den, followed by nineteen more COWS, and all
proceeded to lunch upon his young corn, to
march with devastating tread over his cab
bages, and to carry ruin to his onion patch.
In driving them out, after they had done vast
amount of damage, Farmer Careless stumbled
overa stump (Which ought to have been pulled
up long before) and fell, fracturing his knee
pan, which accident cost him six weeks in
bed, a long bill from the doctor, rheuma-
tism as often as the wind blew from the east,
ever after, and limp in his gait as long as
he lived. Two of his best cows died from eat
ing too freely of their stolen luncheon though
they might lave been saved had their owner
been able to attend to them in time. During
six weeks enforced idleness at the business
period of the season, his farm was necessarily
neglected, his crops were ungathered and his
grass was left uncut. From all these troubles
he was unable to pay the interest on his mort
gage, his farm was sold and sacrificed, and
Farmer Carless was left poor man for the
rest of his life. All these misfortunes came
upon him because he had carelessly neglected
to drive needed nail in the latch of his barn.

CAN DO NOTHING.

Some people in this world are extremely
contrary. Because they are not able to do
great things, they will not do any thing at all.
Because they cannot turn the wind, or make
the sun shine at midnight, they will fold
their hands and supinely do nothing. These
persons would do wonders for the cause of
the Saviour if they were only preachers or
elders or deacons or some other officer of the
church; but because they arc only private
members, they can do nothing. Some are so
modest they can do nothing. 1t is a pity of
modest persons. Modesty is one of the rarest
virtues in the world. 1t is worth more than
all the brass in the universe True modesty
prevents man from meddling in other mems
affairs, and prompts him to attend to his own.
The meaning of "can do nothing" generally,
is "will do nothing" In other words, the
reason we can do nothing, is we will do moth
ing.
[Original.I
During the period of our Saviours resi-
dence upon earth, he frequently cast out of
individuals devils or demons. From the
peculiar language which is used in speaking
of these demons, it seems plain that they
were evil spirits that in some way, and to
various extents, had taken possession Of ind-
viduals. Some tunes they manifested their
presence in one way, and sometimes in an
other No doubt Satan was permitted to
carry his work of destruction to very great
extent at that time, that the Saviour might
have an opportunity Of displaying his power
to vanquish him. Still it seems that some
people are at the present time literally pos
sessed by the devil In some men, legions Of
evil spirits seem to have taken up their abode.
This, then, is a sign that Gods people should
fight valiantly against the emissary of souls.
The victory is sure. The watch word is:
"Fear not. Lo! I am with YOU" If any
one thinks Satan is satisfied with his present
conquests, he is greatly mistaken.
[orignalJ
NO INTEREST.
It is distressing how little interest multi
tudes of the human family take in anything
that is good. In every congregation the bur-
den of keeping it in existence falls upon the
shoulders of few. Often the majority of
the members of the congregation think, or
seem to think, that they have done their
whole duty when they attend church occa-
sionally and help to contribute small amount
annually for the support Of the pastor. They
seem to be perfectly Indifferent whether the
congregation is in prospering or languishing
condition. In one word, whether it lives or
dies. This is distressing. 1t is awful to
think of man who acts as if he did not care
whether there is church or not. Such in
viduals are in that condition which the Sa-
viour calls "luke warm-neither cold nor hot." !"
1t may be, too, that some of these careless indi-
dividuals at heart wish there were no church.
Like the Jews of old, who longed for the
departure of the Sabbath that they might
sell and get gain; so, no doubt, many wish
the church was gone, that unrestrained and
they might pursue their world
ly pleasure.
