.'It am an success" Any one who vis- tied IT. N. Ayres store during the past week, after he announced that he pro- posed to give away that handsome piano, silver tea set, china set, diamond stud, etc., will have no doubt of the truth of the foregoing statement, even though they may entertain grave fears as to the grammar. The rush was so great that he was obliged to get an extra clerk for Saturday and Monday evening and thinks seriously of adding still another, this week. We're glad of 1t, for We know that the quality of Mir Ayres' goods is all right In every respect, while he never makes any advance in prices, no matter what he Is offering his customers; de- pending upon the new trade that his of ,fers attract for compensation. That he can afford to do this and that he does re- tain nine out of ten new customers is proved by his constantly increasing bus iness. A long and busy life to him in his chosen avocation of fitting the feet of men, women and children of Bridgeport and vicinity with the finest and best wearing boots and shoes to be found in the country ut the lowest prices, with an occasional gift of gold watch, horse shoe, corn cob thermometer or a piano thrown in for a relish.

Dead Towns.

We do not allude to those quiet, se-
 cluded New England towns that have
 grown but little in 90 years and seem to
 the nervous and busting visitor from the
 outside world to be so soundly asleep as to be almost dead. Those towns are by no means dead, nor will they die for gem erations. They are as active in real sym pathy and in intelligence, in all that con tributes to substantial enjoyment, as any of the stirring, self-conscious, not to say cranky, towns and villages that boast their grand opera houses and all modern improvements. But we allude to the nu- merous new towns ill the West that ambi- tious men attempted to force into life in order to sell building lots, or develop water power, or open mines; towns that grew large suddenly on paper, and allur- ed a few unwary people, who put their money at high rates into them, only to find that others did not follow their ex- ample, and that they are tied for life to their money sowed in barren field. Horace Greeley'stss Go West, young man," with all the wisdom there was m 1t, has led to Il large crop of disappointments. Many Western towns to which such young men went are dead-left high and dry by the ever-moving tide of emigra- tion. Had we the ear of New England boys, even in the hill towns, we would say from our own somewhat wide obser- vation, Stay where you are" It is the fortune of most people to be obliged to live on rather narrow means and narrow means will buy for one larger advanta- ges, better opportunities and a richer vari- ety of comforts in New England country towns than in any other country towns on the face of the earth.-[New West Cleaner.

When MT Greeley received presents of fruit from farmers around, he invariably sent up stairs to the composing-room for '"Fom'' Rocker, and had him take some to s'the boys" Any remonstrance would be met by the reply: SI can get it. You can't. Take it up and give it to thein." During campaign times, when the men ley used to go to the composing-room, give $10 bill to the foreman, and say: 'tThere, let's have a gorge.n A piece of clean paper was laid on the imposing stone, the ''table" was set and food sent for and MT Greeley would share the im- proyised meal with the men, laughing and joking with them.

THE SECULAR PULPIT.

Reason and faith may walk together, provided that reason gives faith the up per hand.
 Did we take more root downward, we should bear more fruit upward Lady Huntingdon.
 The anrse of full-grown souls is soli- tude.-[ Columbus.
 Sin is to be overcome, not so much by maintaining direct opposition to it, as by cultivating opposite principles. N Fuller.
 The Christ who prayed on earth teaches us to pray and the Christ who mercedes ill heaven helps us to pray and presents our poor cries, acceptable through his sacrifice, and fragrant with the incense from his own golden censer. -[ Maclaren.
 In too many pulpits there is marked absence of plain Gospel teaching:a d cold essay, cultured and polished it may be, is made to do duty for soul-searching discourse. Little fragments of the ever lasting Gospel are doled out. There is too often nothing to reach the hearts and satisfy the yearnings of men who have been toiling all the week. Gods hungry sheep look up and are not fed. The trumpet gives an uncertain sound, and the doubt arises, 'sIs the preacher truly converted? Does he really feel that he has message from God?" It is not a new Gospel that is required in these days, but that the old Gospel should be pro claimed with more direetness and faith fulness; more earnestness, more life are needed. London Christian.
 God regards saint in rags more than sinner in robes. The whole of the crumbling tabernacles now occupied by his people will soon be leveled with the. dust but it matters not, since '1He hath prepared for them q city."-[ Jack son.
 Sincerity is like travelling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journeys end than by ways, in which men often lose them selves.-[Tillotson.
 The best people need affictions for trial of their virtue. How can we eXer- else the grace of contentment, if all things succeed well or that of forgive ness, if we have no enemies ?-[ Tillot- son.
