A sporting paper contains an article
entitled "How to prevent Accidents in the
Game OF Base bali" This difficulty may be
overcome by the Substitution of garden
digging for base ball. A young man who is
digging garden never gets injured by run
ming the bases or by the bat flying out of
another players hand though when he gets
through with the game be may be induced
to think he has exchanged backs with a man
1917 years old.

doctor,) that he may see and prescribe
for them. So when people send for
a minister, who is to be their own
preacher, 1t is necessary that they
should be at their home, (the church. }
at every visit in order that he may
see and prescribe for their spiritual
necessities. In a word, as the ply
siciah who is called to treat the bodies
of his patients, must have them
present, so it is just as necessary for
that minister who is called to minis
ter to the souls necessities to have
those souls present in order that they
may be treated. And remember,
since the soul is united TO the body,
unless the body is present the soul
cannot be.
Now having come 81 ask for what
intent ye have sent for me?' Is it
to be fault-tinder, censer, OF to
necessarily follow around in your
footsteps to take note of every one Of
your faults and then blaze them to
the world? No! for as has been
truly said, the preachers position is
that of a shepherd, and not a sheep
dog.
1t is to he a boon companion, al
ways to be found at your houses, or
loaling in the stores and Oh the street
corners, thus passing the whole week
in idleness, and having good time
until Saturday afternoon or night
comes, and then hurriedly throw
together few scriptural phrases,
come into the pulpit oil Sabbath
morning repeat these and tell you
how christians ought to live and act +?
No. The great Thos. Shepherd, who
was all excellent preacher, used to
say, Sod will curse that mans labor
who goes idly up aud down all the
week, and then goes into his study
on Saturday afternoon. God knows
that we have not too much time to
pray in, to study in, to weep in, to
visit the sick and sorrowing in, and
to get our hearts into fit frame for
the duties of the Sabbath and week
day meeting, by continuing thus,
during all the six short days pre~isls 5
to the Holy Sabboth. And Brooks
says, Of sermons written Saturday

A Story OF Ingratitude.

We find this story in New York letter
to the Sunday OregOni0ae: This hotel by the
way, was built on the ground once occupied
by the mansion of Nathaniel Prime, the Jay
Gould OF nifty years ago. 1t may be added
parenthetically, this same banker, Prime,
once, when poor young man. went to
Southern planter on visit at the time to
New York, and asked for loan of $4,000
what security can you give?" asked the
planter.
"The word of an honest man." answered
Prime
The planter eyed him for an instant and
then replied: "You shall have it,"
This sum gave Nathaniel Prime bis great
start in life and he soon paid the debt. Years
rolled on and he became the leading banker
of the city. One day the planter, who had
befriended him at the outset of his career,
came to him in poverty and asked him for
the loan OF the same sum that he had lent
Prime so opportunity. The banker remem-
bered him well, but asked:
what security can you give ?"
The word of an honest man." answered
the planter, echoing Primes own words of
years before.
"That won't do in Wall street," was the
bankers reply.
The planter seemed dazed by such an an.
swer, and left without word. The man who
was capable ofsuch ingrattude had become
miser, q monomaniac on, the subject of
money, and in his old age, becoming insane
in the midst of wealth over the thought that
he might by some possibility die poor, COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat in his
mansion that occupied the site, IS already
stated, of the present Washington building.

states that he has Just received a letter
from Bingham, the noted handbook
man, in which he says: 81 60 to Chiea-

science may impel him in that direction,
but fear that it is but another one of his
dilatOry motions. As over a year has
elapsed since the said books were to be
forthcoming, during which time an anx-
iOus public has waited with long suffer-
