We hear much ab ut the art Of winning a
husband. Let us take u step further, and
make a study out Of keeping a husband. If
he is worth winning, be is worth keeping.
This is wicked world and man is dead
fully mortal. Lit us take him just as he
is, not us he ought to be. In the first place
he is very weak. The wife must spend the
first two years in discovering all these weak
nesses, count them on her iagers, and learn
them by heart. The fingers of both hands
will not be too many. Then let her study
up these weaknesses, a mesh for every one
an the secret is hers. l. be font of a good
dinner Let her tighten the mesh around
him with fragrant coffee, light bread and
good things generally, an reach his heart
through his s omach. Is he fond of fl ,ftery
about his looks ? Let her study the diction-
airy for sweet words if her supply gives out.
Does he like to hear her talk about his bril-
liant intellect Let her pore over the en-
cyclopedia IT, give variety to the depth OF
her admiration. Fl4ttery is q good thing 10

shades bnt it must be skillfully done. The
harpy VINO may try to coax him away will
not co it ab.urdly.

thorn, and the thistle springing in their
hearts, and to see what wheat had been
scattered there snatched from the way
side by this wild bird and the other, and
at last, when breathless and weary with
the weeks labor, they give him this in
terval of imperfect and languid hearing,
he has but thirty minutes to get at the
separate hearts of thousand men to
convince them of all their weaknesses, to
shame them for all their dangers, to try
by this way and that to stir the hard
fastenings of those doors where the Mas
ter himself has stood and knocked and
yet none opened, and to call at the open
ings of those dark streets where Wisdom
herself has stretched forth her hands and
no man regarded-thirty minutes to
raise the dead Inlet us but once under
stand and feel this, and we shall look
with changed eyes upon that frippery of
gay furniture about the place from which
the message of judgment must be de-
livered, which either breathes upon the
dry bones that they may live, or, if in
efectual, remains recorded in condemna-
ton, perhaps against the utterer and
listener alike, but assuredly against one
of them. We shall not so easily bear
with silk and gold upon the seat Of iudg-
ment, nor with the ornament of oratory
in the mouth of the messenger; we shall
wish that his words may be simple, even
when they are sweetest, and the place
from which he speaks like marble rock
in the desert, about which tho people
have gathered in their thirst. John

Sermons and Pulpits.

There are two ways of regarding a SER
mon, either as human composition, or
divine message. If we look upon it
entirely as the the first, and require our
clergymen to finish it with their utmost
care and learning, for our better de-
light, whether of ear or intellect, we
shall necessarily be led to expect much
formality and stateliness in its delivery.
and to think that all is not we'll if the
pulpit have not golden fringe round it.
and goodly cushion in front of it, and
if the sermon be not fairly written in a
black book, to be smoothed upon the
cushion in a majestic manner before be-
ginning all this we shall duly come to
expect, but we shall at the same time
consider the treatise thus prepared as
something to which it is our duty to lis
ten without restlessness for half an hour
or three-quarters, but which, when that
duty has been decorously performed, we
may dismiss from our minds in happv
confidence of being provided with an
other when next it shall be necessary.
But if once we begin to regard the
preacher, whatever his faults as a man
sent with a message to US, which is a
matter OF life or death whether we hear
or refuse if we look upon him as set in
charge over many spirits in danger OF
falling, and having allowed to him but
an hour or two in the seven DAYS to
speak to them if we make some en-
deavor to conceive how precious these
hours ought to be to him, a small VANTAGE
on the side Of God after his flock have
been exposed for six days together to the
full weight Of the worlds temptation
and he has been forced to watch the

MEMOIRS OF PRINCE METTERNICH. 1S30-35.
Edited by Prince Richard Metternich. Trans
lated bv Gerard w Smith. Volume V. New
Work Charles Scrbner's Sons. 1882. For
sale in Richmond by West, Johnston Co.
We have already had occasion to notice the
rrevious volumes of this valuable work. We
have in it the thoughts, the diary, the letters
Of one of the chief actors in the history of Eu-
rope during the first half of the present century.
Metternich is the most complete representative
of that opposing system which has contended
for the mastery in Europe since the French Rev
olution against the Republican and anti monar-
chical, as well as the Napoleonic ideas, which
have agitated all the states of that continent
during the present century. A most able and
accomplished and determined man. it was his
fortune to outlive by many years all the chief
actors in the opening scenes of this great drama
The present volume commences with the July
Revolution of 1890 SID inc career of Louis
Philippe, and closes with the death of the En-
peror Francis in 1885.
In 1881 Prince Metternich married the third
time, his wife being the Countess Melanie Itchy
Ferraris whose Diary is one of the sources of
abundant and fresh materials for the present
narrative. 1t was, says the editor in his Pre-
face, undoubtedly owing, in great part, to the
brilliantly gifted Princess Melanie that, side by
side with the Cabinet of the Chancellor, the
salon of the Princess grew to be centre whence
emanated, during so long period, the impulse
by which the policy of the world was regu-
lated"
The confidential letters of the Chancellor,
written to the Austrian plenipotentiary in Paris
QS3l-4S), with the diary of the Princess, give
a connected view of the political and domestic
life of Prince Metternich during this time.
The volume opens with the condition of
France under Charles X. in The year 1880, and
soon reaches the outbreak of the Revolution
which placed Louis Philippe on the throne.
The instruction in the Netherlands Polish
Revolution-the election of Gregory XVI to the
Pontifcate-the Revolution in Modena and the
States of the Church-the choice of Leopold as
King of the Belgians-the Capitulation of War
saw-Otho King of Greece-the Preservation of
Turkey-Mehemet Ais Revolt-the Quadruple
Alliance between England, France, Spain, and
Portugal in 1S34-Palmerston's Resignation
the Policy of the Western Powers in Spain-the
Death of the Emperor Francis-such are some
Of the topics in the volume. One more volume
will conclude the work Metternich died in
1S5S-leaving the problems with which he was
go long busy still unsettled, and now that a
quarter of century nearly has elapsed since
his DEATH how much nearer are we to stable
condition of society in Europe?

outlying heather and unevangelized
world and see her sons and daughters
making known the unsearchable riches
of Christ among six different nationali-
ties and In as many different languages.
She can point to more than forty separate
organized churches, into which have
been gathered more than 800 hopeful
converts, the legitimate fruits of her mis-
sionary labors. She can enumerate more
than one hundred different volumes or
tracts of religious truth that have been
prepared or translated by her represen-
tatives into these different lang uages.
She can point to working force of more
than fifty native laborers, who have not
only been trained by her missionaries,
but who are working shoulder to should
er with those missionaries in extending
the knowledge of salvation. She can
also point to twenty schools of different
grades, in which are gathered 500 native
pupils who are being trained to be help
ers in the great cause.
But if the past furnishes solid ground
for congratulation, the present brings
forward claims and considerations Of the
most weighty character. We have
reached crisis, in the prosecution of
this work, that calls for earnest and
prayerful thought. The demand now
for means and agents is in exact proper
ton to the progress of the work itself,
and this will no doubt be the case as
long as God is pleased to own and bless
our labors. The Scriptures have been
translated into most of the languages of
the unevangelized world, and religious
books and tracts have been prepared by
scores. And now shall these books re-
main on the shelves of the printers, or
shall they be scattered far and wide
among the people? Our missionary sta
lions are turning out, year by year, an
increased number of well instructed ma
tive youths. Shall these costly attain
ments be utilized in extending the
knowledge of the gospel to the regions
beyond, or shall they be entirely lost to
the cause of Christ? Again, many of our
missionary brethren have been bearing
the heat and burthen of hostile climate
for ten or twelve years, and cannot much
longer stand the strain upon their con-
stltution. Shall recruits be sent so that
they shall have needed recreation with
out imperiling the best interests of their
missions? Many of these brethren have
heretofore been living in uncomfortable
and unhealthful hired native houses, and
in this way their constitutions have been
seriously impaired. This course of pro-
cedure is not only unkind to our mis-
slonary brethren, but it is unwise and
impolitic in an economical point of view.
Just at the present time at least $4,000
is urgently needed to furnish the build
ings that are necessary alike to the com
tort and usefulness Of our missionary
brethren.

i. We have it, says the Spokane Chron-
icle, from an undOubted authority,
that two prominent military officials
in the Dept. of the Columbia appointed
for the purpose of making report re-
lative to the matter, have recon-
mended the abandonment of Moses
reservation, as such, and a reduction
of the Colville reservation; that a
commission, of whom Gov. Newell
will be one, is to be appointed to deal
with Moses and other chiefs on the
cash basis, the money allowed the In
dams to be paid in $4,000 annuities,
and certain farming supplies. From
what we can learn it is quite probable
that this region will be opened up to
the whites by the 1st of July. 1t is
also ascertained from Washington
that in an official report now in that
city, from this department, the min
ing region in the country north and
west Of the Columbia is rated as richer,
or fully as rich, as that known as the
Black Hills. 1t only needs the open
ing up of this great section to turn
thereto an immense tide of immigra-
ton the coming season. Not only is
it rich in minerals, but as an agricul
tural and stock raising locality it COM
pares more than favorably with any
other in the Northwest.
