If we believe that one Of the proofs
Of Christianity is seen in the liberal
ity Of the people who profess its doc
tines, it is interesting to notice the
amounts Of money paid to the various
benevolent societies, during the past
year. We may well suppose that when
q man has been honestly converted,
his heart is open to feelings Of SYM
patby. And, moreover, his pocket
book is open to give to every deserv-
ing cause. The American Foreign
Union, supports evangelical worship
in Paris, France, and also helps poor
churches at the West. 1t secured by
collections and other sources, So.

especially, devotcs itself to caring for
the spiritual interests Of sailors. And
there is no class Of people whose re-
ligious wants have been utterly neg
lected for so long q time, as the mar
liners. The Society has temperance
boarding houses for them, both in
New York and Boston. And it pro-
yides libraries Of sacred and instruct.
i've books for q large number OF
steamships, and sailing vessels. Its
work has been highly satisfactory, land
has elevated, to q great extent, the
condition Of sea-faring men. In 1876
there was paid to it, 500, 800. And d
considerable part Of this sum was cx.
pended in supporting missionaries,
Bible readers and colporters, in the
sea port towns Of Europe and Amcri
ca.
The American Colonization Society
has for its object the removing Of ne
groes to Liberia. That country is now
! prosperous. The land is fertile and
suitable for raising nearly all kinds OF
crops. And the climate seems to be
adapted to the perfect health, and the
fullest longevity Of the African race
Still, the Southern negroes who were
set at liberty i'll our civil war, evident.

This declaration is proved to be true
by the fact that the colonization Soc
iety aided only twenty-scyen persons
to emigrate to Liberia last year.
The widely known, and favorc
American Bible Society, has accom-
plished wonderfully blessed work, il
the sixty-one years of its existence
and whenever the funds it obtains
warrant it, the scriptures are translat
cd into the languages of destitute
hcathen,} and freely circulated among
them. Indeed, this may be termed
next to the church itself, the most i'm
portant Of all Christian organizations
For it makes available to nearly every
tribe Of people, the word of the only
living God. In the course Of sixty
one years, it has published the aston
ishing number of 32,774,388 Bibles
and Testaments! Even last year, i
issued almost nine hundred thousan(
copies of the scriptures and many o
these precious books were given t
such people as were too poor to buy
them, free of cost. OF 470,588 fami
lies visited by the society's agents, il
1876, $3.50 were discovered not t

AN IMPORTANT FACT.

Interested people who reside in
small rural towns, are strongly apt to
think that religious interest is cx-
tremely dull in them. This opinion
is true, in many significant respects !;
and the town within the limits of the
United States is yet to be found,
where even one half Of the total num-
Der of its population attends church.
But such a difficulty was not exper-
fenced five years ago. At that period
the customs of the Puritans still had

because his foundation is wrong, his
belief is wrong, and that he must fail
and fall and that the Crescent must

Every year increases the popuiari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken:
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandraff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT-
est, surest, and best Of all the Pills with which
the market abOunds. BY their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the co!TuptiOns Of the sys-
tenn expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery OF life restored TO its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become CloggCd
and sluggish are Cleansed by AyeT'S Piits, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipicnt disease
is changed into health, the value Of which change,
when reCkOned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues uhlmpaired for any length OF time, SO
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable
| Although searching, they are mild, and OpcrQt
without disturbance to the constitution, ordiet, OF
! occupation.
| Full directions are given on the wrapper to
! each box, how to use them as q Family Physie,
/ and for the following complaints, which these
| Pills rapidly cure:-
For Esyapepsisa or indigestion, ListIesss
meas, E4tsnguOr and E0ss OF Appetite, they
/ should be taken moderately to stimulate the stoln-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Eiyer Complaint and its various symp-
! toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache. Jnundice or Screen Sickness, ELL
iOus Collie and Bilious Eevers, they should
be iudiCiOusy taken for each case, to correct the
! diseased action or remove the distractions which
/ cause it.
For Dysentcry or TsinrrhOea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism. GOut, Gravel, EDal-
| FpitatiOa of the Heart, Pain ina the
Side, Back and Loips, they should be contin.
uously taken, as required to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For EsrOpsy and BrOpsicnl SweiIinGs
they should be taken in large and frequent dose:
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression, large dose should b
taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym
| Pathy.
As a Di,iaer PHI. take one or two Pills tc
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach ant
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates tit
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that dose of theS'
Pills makes him feel decidedly better from thel
cleansing and renoyating effect on the digestive
apparatus.
