and unbelieving men-she is cold and repul.
sive, and has no attractions to win admirers.
Some portions Of this discourse were truly
graphic. and such was more particularly the
case in the pictures drawn of the angel of pa.
| thence. as he called her, the daughter Of the
| drunkard, who showed such patient chris
| tian spirlt and such filial devotion to her I'M
| fortunate father in the midst of the misery and
degradation brought upon the household by
his habits; the faith displayed by the poor wo-
man in the humble home on the seacoast, the
wife Of a rough man whose business 1t was to
save the lives Of shipwrecked passengers on the
| stormy coast, and whose sole dependence for
| rescue and success was on the prayers OF his
wife. who prayed increasingly whilst his waves
was buffeting the of the tempestu Gus
| ocean and the devotion of the Inhabitants OF
the lonely Isle of the sea and the honors they
regularly paid in solemn manner to the men,
DRY of the pioneer woman missionary who
first planted the cross and the principles it
typetied on that lonely isle.
SERMON BEFORE THE YOUNG LADIES' CHRIS
TIAN ASSOCIATION.
| The Annual Sermon before the Young Ladies'
Christian Association of the Wesleyan Female
Institute was delivered to large audience In
the M. E. Church South on Sunday night. by
Rev. w. 6. Starr, DID,, the subject of which
was sit Is better to be careful than wasteful,' p
and his text, part of the Sth verse OF the 36th
chapter Of Matthew

| He prefaced his remarks with saying that the
old saying, that has come down to through
the ages. that f the heart be right all is right
Is great mistake; for the heart may be right.

and practice every hour in the day. To be care
full to save was virtue that ensured compe-
tence and happiness; to be wasteful, was sin
that caused want and misery. All things be-
long to the Lord, and we only hold them in
| trust to be used for his benefit. We should be
| frugal and ssving, not with the motive of the
miser seeking gain for the mere sake OF gain.
| but with the motive of making proper use Of
our savings. 1t is the motive which santifes
the deed. With proper motive we cannot be
| too saving, and we cannot be too prodigal in
giving to the Lord. Saving like the miser,
without proper motive, is mean; and to be
prodigal without proper motive is sinful.
We have not the space to notice the different
points strongly presented, and must content
ourself with merely stating in general terms
| that it was very good discourse, full OF good
| and wise council to the young ladies to whom
IL was more especially addressed.
Like the wife of John Gilpen, they should be
| of frugal mind" but with better motive than
| is supposed to have actuated that historic dame
when her famous husband made his memora
