One day you will be pleased with a
friend, and the next day disappointed in
him. 1t will be so to the end; and you
must make up your mind to it, and not
quarrel, unless for very grave causes.
Your friend, you have found ont, is
not perfect. Nor are you; and you can.
not expect to get much more than you
give. You must look for weakness

ture; it is unhappy if you are too sharl

RELIGIOUS. R
BELIEVING AND RECEIVING.

A notable instance of praying to God,
and resolving to take no denial, was
that of the pious wife of hard.drink'
ing man named Martin, in West Rid.
ing, Yorkshire England, who prayed
twenty one years for his reformation
and conversion.
When that long time had passed, and
no answer had come to her prayers, she
went one night, at midnight, to the
"public house where her husband
speut much of his time, and found him
sitting in the bar-room with several
other mon and the landlady.
"You go home" said Martin roughly
when he saw his wife enter.
Wait a little, and your husband
will go with you," said the landlady.
Mrs. Tolman," replied the poor
wife, advancing to the table where
they were sitting, 81 have waited
twenty.one years for my husband to go
with me-and all that time have pray
ell for him."
She steadei her voice and added:
am certain, too, that God will
answer my prayers As sure as he is
sitting in your bar, l shall live to see
him pass your house and have no iucli-
nation to 60 in"
She turned to 60 out, and Martin rose
aud followed her, saying not word.
That night was the turning point in
his life. The long felt promise to the
heart of the pious wife thas her hus-
band should ego with her" began to
full fill her patient waiting.
He went to meeting with her, and
Was melted by sermon on the words
"Where thou goest, will 60, .
thy people shall be my people, and thy
God my God !" he went with her to the
family altar he went with her on the
road to life, and helped her to lead
their children in the narrow way.
WHAT IT IsTo BELIEVE ON CHRIST.
LIST. 1t includes the belief that He is
what He claimed to be, viz: the Son of
God, or God manifest in the flesh the
Messiah /; the Prophet, Priest and King
Of His people, and therefore the Re-
deemer of men. This involves the re-
cognition or the conviction and scknow-
ledgment of the truth of all His doctrines
This faith, to be genuine, must not res.
on merely external evidence, but on tht
revealing and testifying influence of the
Holy Spirit.
I'd. 1t includes reliance on Christ in
His Precipitation, on His saving, sancti
flying, and protecting power.
3D.. 1t includes, not exactly in its
nature Us faith, but as its inseparable
adjunct and necessary effects, adorine
love of His person, zeal for His glory
devotion to His service, and submis
sion to His will. AS we cannot sepa
j, rate in fact, or even in consciousness
the apprehension of beauty from delight
in it, so we cannot separate from faith
in Christ, love zeal, devotion and sui
mission. The want of all these is I'm.
belief.

THE reasoning of the New York Sun
now is that there being no hope fol
Democratic success at the coming
Presi Dental election, the party might
as well nominate Mr.. Bayard, as he is
in the race now and is perfectly re-
spectacle man. Tilden, the Sun be-
leves, could carry the party through,
but, as he peremptorily declines being
a candidate the next best thing is tc
put respectable head on the party
and let it 60. We doubt very much
whether Mr.. Bayard will appreciate
such compliment very highly.
