WALKING WITH GOD.


Rev. Mr.. Moule, in the English Cler-
gyman's Magazine, comments thus upon
the passage,-"He walked with me" as
applied to ministers of the gospel:
"These words seem to gather up ones
deepest and safest prayers for brother
about to be ordained. Let me ask now
that we should specially pray this for
each one of our brethren-that he, as
Gods messenger, may walk with God.
Here is gift that can never come
amiss. No circumstances, no tempera-
ment, no path of duty or trial, in the
case of Christian pastor. can ever dis
pense with this-the personal walk with
God. am sure that none Of us is
likely to forget the other side of the
pastors call-that he must aooM ao;th
men. Times there have been in the his
tory of the Christian Church when it
was very needful to enforce it; but it is
hardly so now. Scarcely is the candi.
date ordained, when he finds, only in
much greater degree, what he probably
has found already, that he is called here
and there to a hundred things, all per-
haps, good and needful, but IN themselves
perhaps, wholly unspiritual. And his
danger is, lest he should mistake these
for the main poaoer, as well as the main
work, of his ministry. 1t is grievous
danger. AS fact, ordination leaves
the character very much what it found
it. Experience does not justify us in
expecting the new presbyter or deacon
to become, as matter of course, defn-
itely from that time, either a wiser or
holier man. His growth in wisdom and
holiness appears to be left precisely tc
the same condition as before. But up.
on him, being thus in the main his old
self, there does come in a multitude O
neao trials, to faith, to courage, to gen
tleness, to balance: yes, and very Otter
to the will to hold intercourse with God
He finds often, and most bitterly, tina
holy office is no royal road to holiness
He aOalked NTH me. Here God him
self tells US of that other side in tn
pastors life which is always, but nov
more than ever, liable to be forgotten
And it is just this, as the side so cas-
to forget, that | entreat may be GU
special subject in prayer. Let US oh
serve that Gods own hand links it her
fast to the real success of the pastor
outer work.

Springfield, Vt, April 81, 1871.
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Sons: Gen
tlemen-Several years ago was attack
ed with severe lung difficulty, which
was quite alarming. | had severe night
sweats, and all the premonitory symp-
toms of consumption. After having tried
several remedies and the skill of physi-
clans without benefit, l was induced to
use Wistar's Balsam, the first bottle of
which afforded immediate relief, and a
continuance of its use soon restored me
to my usual health. For twenty-five
years past it has never failed to afford
entire satisfaction in all cases of colds,

ATTEND TO BUsINEss.-Nothing but
ultimate ruin stares that farmer in the
face who does not pay personal attention
to all the most minute details of his
farm. There are thousand small leaks
about the management of an ordinary
farm, that if not closely attended to will
surely bring the most handwriting
farmer to ruin and bankruptcy. Nine
tenths of the sinking farmers can attrib-
ute their present distress to no other
cause than lack of close attention
to the small details of the farm; a
closer supervision of machinery and
tools, the stock and their feed, a place
for everything and everything in its
place. No one is as much interested in
attending to these details as the boss.
Such course will be in few months,
or year or two at most. enable many
farmers who are now on the down-grade,
to again begin to ascend. If heroically
perservered in, 1t will surely make head
way against what now looks SO hopeless.
A fear of sunburnt hands and face, dirty
clothes and boots. and desire to have
reputation that he does not work on
| the farm, has been fruitful source Of
loss to many farmers. A course of this
kind once entered on, will be hard te
depart from.-Farm and Fireside.

MYTHS ARE BUT SYMBOLS OF TRUTH

MYTHS ARE BUT SYMBOLS OF TRUTH.
As the scholar sees in the vain bat
beautiful mythologies Of the ancients the
embodied expressions of the hungry hu-
man soul, bllndly cropping after the In
finite, so the physician sees IN that pop
ular myth of the sixteenth century the
fountain of perpetual health and youth
an expression Of the longings of suffer
ing humanity for remedy that should
forever prevent the incursion of disease.
The wilds of Europe were ransacked for
this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de
Leon sought for it in the cypress-swamps
and tangled everglades of our sunny
Florida. Men have searched for it every
where and anywhere but where it really
is-in the human body itself. The blood
is the real fountain of perpetual health
and youth. When this source is cor
rupted. the painful and sorrow producing
effects are visible in many shapes. The
multifarious forms in which it manifests
itself would form subjects upon which
might write volumes. But as all the
varied forms of disease which depend up
on bad blood are cured, or best. treated,
by such medicines as take up from this
fluid and excrete from the system the
noxlous elements, it is not of practical
importance that | should describe each.
| For instance, medical authors describe
about fifty varieties of skin disease, but
as they all require for their cure very
similar treatment, it is of no practical
utility to know just what name to apply
to certain form of skin disease, SO you
know how best to cure it, Then again,
| might go on and describe various kinds
of scrofulous sores, white swellings, en-
larged glands, and ulcers of varying APP
pearance might describe how virulent
poison may show itself in various forms
of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony
tnmors, etc. /; but as all these various
appearing manifestations of bad blood
are cured by uniform means. [ deem
such course unnecessary. Thoroughly
cleanse the blood, which is the great
fountain of life and good digestion, 8

The lNEXCUsABLENEss OF IT--There
is nothing in the world more inexcusa-
BILE than the liberation of rum shops.
They have not the least right to exist.
They are conceived by desire to get
ones living without labor, beyond that
of standing behind counter. and begot-
ten by a willingness to do any amount
of harm to ones neighbors. Almost
every occupation by which men get their
living has the semblance of usefulness.
But rum-selling has not the faintest
claim to any such quality. The money
that is spent in rum-shops had better be
thrown into the sea. The LIQUIDS that
are dispensed there had better be poured
into the sewers of the streets.-7He

but disease is severe test. With the
one of whom we write. though her last
illness was protracted and painful in
the extreme, yet there was not a MUIR
muir on her lips ; the same brave spirit
which had carried her through grief and
sorrow now enabled her to endure great
suffering with patience and fortitude.

this illustration of our theme because
fact is better than fancy, and these les

A "FAIR LAW" u.s." say the
liquor dealers, and certain pseudo tenn
perance men, ga fair license law" But
they don't tell US what they mean by
flair" law, and we should like to know.
Do they mean a law that shall place the
license fee so high that only the wealthy
can procure it? Do they mean law
that shall open saloons and sample
rooms, but close the groggcries? But
what marks the boundary line between
them, and how can you license the one
and not the othey? Would it not be
we'll for those who are clamorous for a
fair license law to come out from behind
distractions and geDeralities and tell US
precisely what they do mean /? Fine
words butter no parsnips all the fine
talk in the world about "a fair license
law" amounts to nothing till we know
precisely what is meant Everybody is
supposed to be and supposes himself to
be in favor of fair laws; but between
what some people and others regard as
fair there is chasm as broad and deep
as the impossible gulf between the
world of darkness and the world of light
If any temperance man has any ques-
ton in his own mind, as to the compar
alive merits of license or prohibition as
temperance measures, let him ask the
seller or consumer of rum. They ART
all emphatlcally in favor of license.
