My Beloved warn you now, if
any of you manifest such symptoms of
cowardice as has been handed down
to you from high places, the biggest
pair of stoga boots in this congrega-
tion will rise up in Judgment against
you and kick you out into the broad
road that leads to everlasting ruin.
And finally, whom you cut the crust
from your brown loaf bread and scrape
the top of the noontide pot, if you cut
little into the crisp, or scrape a lit
tie into the soft for the benefit of
tramps your conscience will trouble
you less ; if you steal out tonight as
some of you will, when the silver moon
of memory hangs low over the haunt
ed hills of the past, and some hallow-
ed finger points the way some loved
one went over your broken heart to
heaven, may the eternal verdure of
evergreen hope spring up in the bar
rem spots trod hard by the busy feet of
the absorbing now, and bring you to
the sweetness of that peace and the
tenderness of that love that contiuu-
ally overRows in deeds and works for
the elevation of the "ra aSamutns" who
march in the rear ranks of humanity.
80 mote it be- Brother Slowfast
will circulate the platter for the root
of evil until it is rooted out of this
place, for verify I say unto you, that
the hen that scratches here expects to
find bug Shell out.

The JANUARY NUMBER of Peter
sons Magazine, that paragon Of the
ladys' books is out in advapce, and is,
We think, the most superb we have ev-
er seen. There are two beautiful steel
engravings, one Of little girl and
water-lillies the other "The Wander
er, illustrating story by Frank Lee
Benedict. The mammoth colored
fashion-plate is unusually elegant; it
is a picture as well as fashion-plate.
In all there are some thirty fashion
patterns in the number But the
great feature is magnificent colored
pattern of a new kind of fancy work,
"Ribbon Embroidery" which every
lady will be wild to learn, and which
is, besides, the most costly embelish-
ment ever seen in any magazine. The
stories are even better than usual and
no ladys book has such writer's as
Peterson" This magazine is cheaper
than ever for 1877. Single copies are
two dollars year, but five copies are
sent for $500, with an extra copy to
the person getting up the club, or six
copies for $3.50, with both an extra
copy, and the large-sized steel engrav-
ing, "Cornwallis Surrender Ali are
postage free. For large clubs the pri-
ccs are even loaUer. Specimens are
sent, gratis, to those wishing to get up
clubs. Now is the time to get up
clubs. Peterson is emphatically the
magazine for the times. Address
