Godsy's Ludy's Book For Eehf~aRy Comes full of interest and beauty, Tke best "Darley' picture yet given; Is the exquisite one Illustrating a scene irS ''Evangeline." Every department is full of attractive matter for the fair readers, whose bright eyes grow brighter, as each month they welcome this most popular ofperiodicals. It seems to be the determipation of the publishers to Keep ever ahead of all competitors, and they ceytainly succeed in this object. Christian Reid con. tinues her new novel, "Roslyns tRortuhe," ip most attractive number of pages. Never was more brilliant story offered to the pub lie, if one may judge by the sparkling viyacity of the opening chapters. The bewieShiny heroine is in strong contrast, to the "Gsntis Belle" who won our favor last year. but it would be hard to say which type of Eislhood is most fascinating. The "Rosehvd. Ghsdeu of Girls' follows the fortunes of DsIphine. the bright little widow. whose love story iss Sde- veloped in several interesting pages.. Rsry page of literary matter is of the highest kipd, and the February number will be 'wAe@ly welcomed by all appreciative> readers. a:t.+ s+

 It is long time since there has been such busy hum of industry in and around this village as these days are witnessing. The shear shops are full of orders, and we think they are employing more hands than ever be- fore.
 The woodman's axe is heard on every side, and there is DO sparing of the trees. Several thousand cords of wood within three or four miles of this village are in the way of prepar- ation for the furnaces in the vicinity. We conclude payments are prompt in all depart ments, as workmen seem to have plenty of gold, silver and greenbacks, and when they gather in the stores at evening, the merchants treat them with much kindly consideration.
 The Sherlock family gave musical and dramatic entertainment in our chapel few evenings since, which seemed to be greatly enjoyed by all present. Their programme is good one, and they handle it with force and power. They are worthy ofpatronage where ever they may make an appointment.
 The monthly Good Samaritan temperance meeting last Sabbath evening drew a full house as usual. They are sustained mostly by home talent, but on this occasion Rev. MT. Hallock of West Goshen gave us an interest ing address, and the Sherlock family, who were spending the Sabbath here, and who seem ready for all good work, furnished the music. It was a very pleasant and interest ing service.

He is an efficient aid in Sunday School work, and conducts Bible class of some twenty-five young men who seem quite interested in the teaching he gives them.

The influence of the Bible in framing and changing the customs of nations is proof of it's inspiration and truth. Evidences of Gods being and power meet you on every hand; tree and flower, valley and mountain, the Armament brilliant with planets and twinkling stars,

 The substance of the sermon was written by MT. Reid several years ago. in the form of tract, of which 49O,sO copies have been published and circulated to date, by the American Tract Society.
