Sunshine.

1 sat in darkened chamber; Near by sang a tiny bird: Through all my deep pain and sadness, A wonderful song heard. The birding bright sang in the sunlight From out Of golden throat; The song of love he was singing Grew sweeter with every note. Iopened my easement wider To welcome the song heard; Straight into my waiting bosom Flew sunshine and song and bird. No longer I now am signing; The reason canst thou divine?- The birding with me abideth, And sunshine and song are mine.

1t is pity that every skeptic, as
well as every friend of Christianity
in this country, did not hear a ser
mon preached by the Rev. j. b.
West, at the M. +. Church, South,
last Sunday. 1t was the most forci-
BILE, overwhelming, and uncontro-
vertable presentation of the truth of
religion to which we have ever list
ened. His subject was "The Test
of Religion" taken from the text /;
eff any man do His will, he shall
know Of the doctrine whether it be
of God or whether / speak of my
self" He made doing Gods will
the true test of the truth Of religion,
giving Christ, her great author, as
his authority; and he demanded of
every man who honestly desired to
believe the cardinal doctrines of the
Bible to put religion to her own chOs-
Ell test before rejecting her as false.
Said the preacher, the same chance
to test, by experiment, the truth Of
its principles is accorded to every
human science before they are rejec-
ted as false. No man, said he, ever
did Gods will through life and died
an infidel.
1t was a mastery presentation of
the subject and we wish everybody
could have heard the sermon. The
congregation was large and pro-
foundly attentive, but in order that
all who desire to do so may have an
opportunity to hear the sermon, we
sincerely hope that DIR. West will
consent to breach it again at some
future time. 1t is sermon well cal
culated to confirm the faith of the
Christian and direct the mind of the
skeptic or infidel into ihe channel
of religious truth, and thus accom-
plish great good for the cause of

has also been coined by the United
States mints in the shape of trade
dollars for export to China, and also
for circulation in the Pacific States !;
the total coinage of these dollars,
which began in 1874, and was
700, ,000I for that year, increased to
1,10O,0O0l in 1875, to 100000 in
1876, and to something considerably
more in the fiscal year er ding June
30th, 1877. Perhaps 5,000,000t has
been coined into trade dollars and
thus, thirteen out of the twenty
millions of excess production are
accounted for. The remaining seven
millions appear to have come to the
London market. According to the
last debt statement, there remains
only $1S, 1862 of fractional curren-
cy (3,757 ,000D to be exchanged for
silver, and much of what is still Hout-
standing" has probably been lost or
destroyed. Will the silver party in
the United States be enabled to Sc
cure a further extension of silver
currency to take up the current ex-
cess of production? If not, we shall
now, at last, soon feel the full effect
of that excess upon the silver mar
ket. Violent contests In Congress
are now going forward upon the in
PRODUCTION of a gold standard. If
the opponents of that standard sue
ceed in obtaining an extension of
silver coinage, the effect of this fac
tor in the case must be borne in
mind, together with the influence
exerted by the approaching ex-
haustion of the supply from
Germany.
- The coinage of new silver to October 9th,
1877 is officially stated to be All 1885, $50 marks,
but these coins are not of full value.
