BILE sermon, by Rev. John p. Carter, on
"The duty of Honoring the Lord with our
Substance" We copy the following in
cident, illustrating the influence Of the
wasting even in small things:
1T is related. that when the collectors
upon a certain occasion were going around
to solicit contributions to build a hospital,
they came to a small house, the door of
which being partly open, they overheard
the master, an old man, scolding his fe-
male servant, for having thrown away a
match without using it. Alter diverting
themselves awhile with the dispute, they
presented themselves to the old gentleman,
and made known the object of their visit /;
though, from what they had just heard,
they entertained very little hope of sue
cess. The supposed miser, however, no
sooner understood their business, than he
stepped into closet, and returned with q
bag, from which The counted out and pre-
sented TO them, 400 guineas! a sum equal
to about 81, 1000. No astonishment could
exceed that of the collectors, at this unex-
pected liberality. Thev expressed their
surprise, and told the old gentleman that
they had overheard his quarrel with his
sevrant. Gentlemen said he, your sur.
prise is occasioned by thing Of very little
consequence. keep house and save mon
ey in my own way; the first furnishes me
with the means of doing the second. And
with regard to benevolent Donations con-
tinued he, you may always expect most
from prudent persons, who keep their own
accounts The old gentleman was right.
Many a dollar should we all have, to de-
vote to some useful purpose, if we were as
careful as he of things which are esteemed
of little value."-[N. Y. Observer.

A secret for Young Men-How "a
-rf succeed.

Young men, you may be q great success
or dep1orable failure. Which shall it be !
You may be blessing or curse. Which
shall il be? If you will be success and
a blessing, you must make the most of
yourself.
You must control your passions. These
are fiery steeds that must be held with a
tight rein, or they will carry you to de-
struction.
Don't drink! The Intoxicating glass is
ruin and death. Have nothing to do with
the accursed stuff, for it has conquered
stronger men than you.
Don't swear! Swearing is uumanly, and
mean aud vile! No swearer is either q
Christian or a gentleman.
Be strictly honest, come what will.
Starve rather than steal.
Choose virtuous companions. See Prov.
xiii: 90.
Let your Sabbaths be spent in the house
of God. Sabbath breaking has been with
many the first step toward misery, crime
and perdition.
Improve your mind. Let the odds and
ends Of your time be given to solid and in
structive reading Henry Kirke White

Gather up the fragments of your time.
Be sincere and earnest Christian, and
though you may fail to make money, you
will make character you will secure peace
of mind, the esteem of the virtuous, the
favor of God, and an eternal home in
Heaven. And that is the greatest success.
