BUSINESS NECESSITIES. In these
days Of progress, most enterprising
firms use every means Of putting their
names before their customers. Iu no
way can this be more conveniently and
attractively done than by using Printed
Letter Headings and Bill Heads. They
have come into such general use by
Merchants, that one seems old
fashioned who dnes not use them, and
the custom should be generally adopted
by the Country Merchants.

The Revival in Ireland.

The revival in Ireland is becoming so ex-
tensive and remarkable, that the religious
papers begin to speak of the year 1874 aS
the second "year of grace" Messrs. Moody
and Sankey have left Ireland for London,
but the work begun during their visit shows
no sign of abatement. In Belfast especially,
the evangelistic meetings continue crowded,
and are deeply interesting. The reports
brought in by the city ministers to the noon
day prayer meetings are most encouraging.
Oo Monday, November Och, the Rev. Hugh
Hanna reported that at special communion
in his church the day previous, two hundred
and thirty converts had confessed Christ for
the first time. One of his Sabbath school
teachers has forty converts in his class. The
Rov. William Johnston noticed the largely
increased attendance at every place of wor-
ship. In Derry, Sabbath school teacher
said that for fifteen years none of his class
had been converted, but the evening before,
he had the privilege of leading the last of
fifteen young men to the Saviour. La Dub
lin, the crowds attending the meetings we're
as large as ever, and the number of inquirers
was increasing. At the Saturday services
for children, it is said that fully six thousand
youth are present with their guardians and
parents. Ia the smaller towns and villages
great interest on the subject of religion be-
gins to prevail.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
A WIFE'S INFLUENCE.

There is no one whose influence for good
or evil is more potent than that of wife.
MY observation during ministry of nine
teen years, leads me to the conclusion, that
to large degree the position man shall
occupy in the church, and morally in society,
depends largely on his wife. I have noticed
that where the wife is an earnest Christian,
and shows her religion by regular attendance
on the means of grace, as general rule you
will find her husband also an active member
of the church, that is, when both were pro.
fessed Christians at the time of their mar
riage.
Where the lady is pious, and marries
man who is not, if she is regular in attend
ing the ordinances of Gods house and takes
her husband with her as she generally can,
ordinarily, not many years pssS until the
husband is brought into the church. On
the other hand if pious man marries an ir-
religious woman, in majority of cases the
husband becomes cold and careless, and often
goes back to the world. Where both are
protesting Christians, and the wife is indf-
ferent as to attending the means of grace,
stays at home, and keeps her husband with
her, both become cold and careless
| could name young men who gave pro-
mise of usefulness when they entered upon
their professions or engaged in the avocations
of life, who are now blanks in the church.
Some are ruined 10 their prospects; and alas
some of them show signs of too frequent in
diligence at the wine cup. God says, "them
that honor me ! will honor, but they that
despse me, shall be lightly esteemed"
Now we appeal to wives, and especially to
young wives, to see that they honor God in
the observance of the ordinances of his
house, and strive to take their husbands with
them. Make all your plans SO that unless
tits an unavoidable necessity, you will never
be absent from any church services. Let
your husband know that you make it point
to attend the preaching of the word, and it
is not likely he will remain at home. What.
ever the profession of your husband may be,
there are not many Sabbaths he cannot and
will not be found regularly by your side in
Gods house, even physician can and will
arrange his practice, so as not often to be
away from his wife and children when they
are in the sanctuary. Eternity alone can
and will reveal how many blasted hopes and
ruined homes have their starting point just
here, carelessnesS in attending the ordi-
nances of Gods house. ALABAMA.

The REASON WHY-We see now, first of
all, why scientists do not find God. They
do not use the right instruments. do not
inveigh against scientists; l almost worship
and bow down before their patience, fortitude
and noble motives. But they discard their
highest instrument, the moral nature. We
cannot fnd love with microscope, nor sweep
up music with a broom If they will find
Him, they must bring to bear the forces of
conscience and of love. We see, secondly,
why the failure of scientists to find God does
not discourage believers. 1t matters not to
him who has seen them, that a man pro-
nounce Naples dream of the fancy; Ven.
ice, that dream in stone, reposing ever in
blessed stiffness on its lagoons, myth;
Mount Blanc, as seen from Geneva, cleaning
like the very throne of God ON earth,
speculation. Nay, the scientist must dissolve
the blue out of the sky, must untwist the
light till it shall be proven darkness, must
show the personal consciences of man to
be nonentity, before he who has known
God will say that He is not.-Dr. R. 8.

| CONCLUDED

WHAT ARRESTED Paul of Tarsus on his
way to Damascus? What Luther, as he
climbed Pilates staircase? Christianity has
a simple answer to these questions. 1t de-
clares that God exercises an influence over
the hearts of men, analogous to that which
we exercise over each other, only transcen-
IDENTIFY greater and more glorious. To him
it attributes these phenomena, the most won
derful, and the most practically important,
of all mental phenomena in the worlds bis
tory. And yet, singularly, the greatest and
the most important of all mental phenomena
are almost absolutely ignored by all treatises
on mental science. The whole moral pro-
gress of the world has been characterized by
these marvellous changes; but philosophy
takes no cOgnizance of them.

Whittier midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last steps of day
Far through thei- rosy depths, dost thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
yainly the foRlers eye
Might mark thy distant fight to do thee wrong,
As, iarky painted on the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking pillows rise and sink
On the ehafed ocean-side?
There is a Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless coast
The desert and ihmitable air
Lone wandering but not lost.
All day thy wings have famed,
AT that far height the cold, thin atmosphere;
Yet s5oop not, weary, to the welcomed land,
Though the dark night is near.
And soon that toll shall end
soon shalt thou mad a summer home, and rest
Ana scream among thy fellows reeds shall bend
Soon Ger thy sheltered nest.
Thou rt gone; the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall not soon depart
He who. from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy certain fight
In The long wsy that l must tread alone,
win lead my steps Alright.
William Cullen Bryant.

"CHRIsTs CHURCH. 1t is told of man
poorly dressed, that he went to church
seeking an opportunity to worship. The
usher did not notice him, but seated several
well-dressed persons who presented them
selves, when finally the man addressed the
usher, saying: Scan you tell nae whose

church" "Is he in?' was the next ques.
ton, after which seat was not so hard to

The STRIoTNEss OF RIGHT.-There is a
line beyond which we may not pass, unless
we wish to join hands with Satan himself;
and, young man, young woman, keep on the
right side of that dividing line; do not touch
it, even with the hem of your garment. Re-
member the children of true faith are the
salt of the earth. Bat if the salt have lost
its SAVIOR, there is nothing wherewith to sea-
son it; it is thenceforth good for nothing
but to be cas-. out, and to be trodden under
foot of men. Can we not watch one little
hour? Surrounded by every blessing, can
we not tread the short pathway to the grave
steadily true to the faith of our fathers?-
