Hood of warning cataract Niagara ex-
cites our wonder, and we stand amazed
at the power and greatness of God
there, as he 'pours it from the hollow

enough for the continent or the world.
while the same world requires thousands

1t is not by great deeds, like those of

Learn to entwine with your prayers
the small cares, the trifing sorrows, the
little wants of daily life. Whatever af.
fects you-be it changed look, an al.
tered tone, an unkind word, wrong, a
wound, a demand you cannot meet, a
change you cannot notice, a sorrow you
cannot disclOse-turn it into prayer, and
send 1T up to God. Disclosures you may
not make to man you can make to the
Lord. Man may be too little for your
great matters; God is not too great for
your small ones. Only give yourself to
prayer, whatever be the occasion that
calls for it Winsloao.

TIE OuTGROWTH OF FAITH.

Let every man consider how important
a place faith fills in his life, how much
he gets through his belief, and how de-
pendent he is upon it. Faith is the
channel through which nearly all our
knowledge has come, and is the main
spring of our activity. BY faith men
learn the alphabet. A mother or a
teacher says that A is A, B is B, and
the child believes it. By faith men
learn to walk. The mother holds her
hands first under the arms, then on each
side of child, and trusting in this help
and in the heart of love behind 1T, the
child ventures to step out. Or it may
be- a trust in chair, bench, or some
other support that emboldens child to
try to walk. What is begun through
faith is continued and ended by it.
Nearly all the knowledge acquired is
received through faith. What one man
writes is accepted, what another tells is
rejected, through confidence or a lack
of it. History is taken on trust. Lands
and people never seen are known by
faith in the accounts of those who have
visited them. Science is accepted through
faith. Indeed, nearly all the knowledge
man has he has received through faith.
Faith is also the handspring of action.
There may be the energetic activity of
despair, a man may perhaps lay cut all
L:---s---u.a-- S.uu all MS resources IN one
desperate effort, but even here there is
some confidence in the efficacy of such
venture. Men eat three times day
the food set before them because they
trust in those who have prepared it..
There have been those who have not had
such confidence, and they have not
eaten until their food has been first
tasted in their presence by their attend
ants. Men 60 about the streets unarmed
and unattended because they trust their
fellows, in the righteousness and power
of the government. There are those
who have no such trust, and they 90
about armed to the teeth. Men travel
by faith in the steamer, the coach, the
engine, in the captain, the crew, the
conductor, the engineer. If they had
not such faith they would not travel
Men invest their earnings and saving,
in what they believe will yield return
and be, when they desire it again, con
Vertible into money. Men cultivate tn,
soil through faith in the sunshine ant
deWs and showers, through faith in tn
fertility of the soil which they hav
bought or hired through faith, and il
faith In the fertilizers which have BEEF
obtained and applied through faith
Men trust in themselves, in one another
In nature, some men in God. The mel
chant trusts his clerks, the clerks thei
employers the lawyer trusts his client
and the clients their lawyer; the physi
clan trusts the patient and the at
tendant, the patient and attendant tn
physician; the sailor trusts the capital
and the captain the sailor, and bot
trust in the ship; the soldier trusts tn
general, and the general the soldier

A Scotchman ought to know what
whisky is good for, and here is what
DIR. Guthrie once said /: Whisky is good
in its own place. There is nothing like
whisky in this world for preserving a
man when he is dead. But it is one of
the worst things in the world for pre-
serving man when he is living. If
you want to keep dead man. put him
in whisky if you want to kill living
man, put whisky into him."

BISHOP SIMPSON ON STIMULANTs.-In
his third Yale lecture Bishop Simpson
advises the young men who are entering
the ministry to avoid all stimulants, and
in connection gives bit of information
which is not generally known: IL would
scarcely suppose that any one who feels
himself called to the ministry will coun-
tenance their use yet kind friends will
sometimes suggest that you are weak,
your nerves are tremulous, you have
been out in the cold, you need little
stimulant, and they will urge the TAX
ing of little wine or brandy before
preaching. These friends will tell you
that the most distinguished preachers
are in the habit of using them; and 1
regret to say that in many churches both
wine and brandy are kept in the vestry
for the use of the minister before and
after preaching" He further says: 81
have known young ministers who have
used few drops of paregoric or opium
to give them strength for the pulpit. I
am glad to say that l have known but
few such cases but | must add that
these were led in the end to either phys
ical or moral ruin" And in passing
he fires shot at the clerical cigar: 81
suppose there is sort of enjoyment con-
nected with it, for have seen men sit
for an hour smoking with their feet
upon table, protesting to be studying.
have no doubt they had visions Of
greatness and glory but prolonged OBJ
servation shows that their lives usually
ended, with their cigars, in smoke"

CHEERING WORDS.

The following are the closing words
of the address delivered by Mrs. NJ. F.
Perkins, president of the Vermont Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. at the
recent convention in Vergennes: "And
now, in conclusion, let me say, out of
cheerful and grateful heart, l do not
believe that ours is losing cause. /
do not believe that this awful sin of our
nation is to be expiated by penalty so
terrible as was that which followed the
curse of American slavery, not because
the sin is not so great. but because of
this one hopeful and redeeming fact.
The nation is arousing to sense of its
guilt and danger, and is even now aris-
ing to shake off the fangs of the destroy
er. Men and women all over our land
are at work day and nIght-they are
toiling, speaking, praying, coming their
brave hearts blood and their clear, keen
intellects into words and plans and deeds
for the overthrow of this enemy of our
race, and our boys will be saved, with
out sacrifice of the innocents like that
visited upon US at Bull Run, at the bat
tie of the Wilderness, and in Libby
Prison. But shall they be saved 1t
rests with us, christian men and women,
to say whether we will shelter them
behind our eternal perseverance, as we
take our solemn oath. to stand by the
cause ''for life or during the war;" Sc
doing. we shall save them,-God help.
ing us And, applying to this cause
of temperance those words of the lament
ed Livingston, which afterward became
his epitaph, wherein he expressed his
souls adherence of the African slave
trade, | would add-'May Heavens ricf
blessing come down on every one. Amer
lean, English, or Turk, who will hell
to heal this open sore of the world"

Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER, Wholesale Druggists,
Boston, Mass: Gentlenle7l,-I have for some months
felt it a duty that I owe to suffering humanity to
write you, stating the great benefit that have de-
rived from the use of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH. Formoro than 20 years have been
afflicted with this very troublesome complaint;
have tried all the remedies that could find, but
without material or permanent benefit. Last fall
the disease had arrived at that state that must
have relief or die. The entire mernbranous system
had become SO inflaned, and the stomach SO disor-
dered, that it was doubtful matter whether I
could go to the Pacific coast or If did go whether
Ishould live to come back or not. Isaw an adyer-
tisement of this medicine, and although being very
kind, yet in sheer desperation tried this, and was
at once benefited by it,. The changes of climate,
chronic disease ofthe liver, and my age oyer 20
may prevent my entire restoration, but the bene-
at derive from its daily use is to me faudEdbte,
and am hoping to be completely cured, and at
last arrive at o respectable old age.
If this statement of my case can be or any service
to those afflicted Us have been, and enable you to
bring this remedy into more general use, especially
on the Pacific coast (where it Is much needed), my
object in writing this note will be obtained.
Very truly yours, HENRY WELLS,
