Wo all feel as fellow-servants of Christ that our work means that we should be in the host possible condition of heart. The instrument owes all of its power for usefulness to the hand that wields it, but the instrument should be free from rust, and sharp and keen Only a* little matter of neglect and we run to the lowest possible condition. Do not wind up the clock and it will stop ; remain motionlaM, useless, quiet. To keep a farm in good order is a thing that wants ft wise man, a good deal of money, and much labor and watchfulness. Let it alone, or take crop after crop from it without putting anything on it, and it will get into the condition that it will starve a lark ; will grow potli nj hut weeds. Do not wind your soul up with daily prayer— you will soon run down ; you need not sow handful* of tares, you need not cultivate the nettlos and thistles, they will come of themselves, and you will deterioato more and more. I do not know that we can expect to see continuous energy in any of us. 1 suspect that he who burns like a seraph has sometimes moments in which the fire somewhat abates. 1 should suspect that as the sun does in a measure sometimes lose some of its force, so a man is as the ''sun that goeth forth in his strength.'1 Nature docs not permit the sea to he always at its flood tide ; the ' vegetable world has its winter. c must have our winter, hut the time shall come when the life of Eternal God shall quicken us again, and we shall lie full of blossoms or laden with } fruit. Do not, therefore, let any brother condemn himself if he ia not conscious of all the vivacity once had ; if he has not all that spiritual lovclinees in his ? soul, do not let him utterly condemn himself. If any walk in darkness for < awhile and see no light, let him trust • and look for brighter days to come I am afraid many of us have to complain r that we do run down, end there are many things to make te ntn down in A

spirit on account of the decline of our youthful vigor ; and some of the in ten»c fire we one*.- had is evidently departing.. I should hke to hav< remained young if I oquld, if I might have felt the epring, the elasticity, ,th* leaping and running in the way* of God One is coming to walk now, and it in bomewhat suggestive that that should be after all, en God's view*, a better thing. First, they all mount up with wings as eagle* — you have seen them— away they go. Your first sermon how you mounted up. Then they improve their pace, "thc-y run and are not wear ied, they walk and do not faint." If a man preaches as he should do, it will take more out of him than any other business under heaven. I hope 1 do not speak partially, but that which would be the judgment of any man who knows the truth of the case. We mo down because our work become* routine. On and on and on- — the same thing— it becomes almost like a treadmill, unless the life be in ns, and then it is always fresh and ever new. Perhaps we have gotten away from ths simplicity of our faith, and God has v — U'\- w f - -■ ^ * ' Hito be pitieu but a crime to be condemned, especially after He ha* got out of Hi* way, if I might so say, to bless us in an extraordinary and unusual manner. Has there been self-indulgenoe amongst us? Have we got away from the consecration in which we started ? If so, blue mould will get into its place and we shall be deprived of our joy. Sometimes this running down will end in a catastrophe. A sin i* publicly spoken of, and shame is cried, not at the one sin, but at the man's general* «ate of heart ; not merely at the lightning flash, but at the condition of the atmosphere

charged with deadilv elements. When I hear of a man who 1ms ruined his character by some distinct act of folly, I have wondored whether or not that was a jet frpin some volcanic fire which, fgWw many a year, iym^ - - underneath, and st laat came out.' Let us pray against it in either case, though no catastrophe occurs. Some men are eaten through and through with dry rot, like the ants eat the furniture of the Indiuns ; the chuir* and table* appear just the same, but when touched they crumble to pieces If I am a rotten bough of a tree, I would as soon be knocked off as not Whenever we get into this condition, too, we generally adopt some kind of scheme to hide it. Far worse is it when a man runs down and gets into the condition in which he has not got any particular principles. He is a Baptist, but would verj clieerfully take u redobaptist Church. He is a Calvanist, but he does not mind at all dropping those distinctive truths; he hold* some views, but hi* principle view is "to the pastorate" to somo church that will remunerate liiin Dry rot in his soul, that is all it is, and he thus covers it up, reminding one of an advertisement I once' Raw in a school in France. I do not suppose any of you would wish to send your children to such a school. "Any religion will be taught to the children which may be selected by their parents." So it seem* to Die it has been with some minister* ; any religion will be taught w*hich may be selected by the deacons A hor- j rible condition of things this ; worse than the other by far, but generally men do not rest there when the heart is got out of order. When their life ha* got down they begin to fall into absolute doctrinal error, not lM*cau*e their head is wrong, for many of them have not much of that, bu< because their heart is wrong, wil perhaps many of us would not have found they had a heart, if they had not thought so strange lv. They begin to give very little gospel i in their sermons. Some of them believe in hammopathic doses of the gospel. It Is remark able in fact what small globules of gospel will save a soul, or many souls would never have been saved by some ; they remind one of the famous dog* spoken of in the classics, which being afraid of the crocodile*, got into the Nile but for a moment and then out - again. Such preacher* not only grire us a little gospel, but a lot of that which is , 1*1 IPwpol. A minister should take eare of him* self for the sake of his church, snd he could not afford to trifle with things of life ami death As a surgoon he would | not like, when billiou* or having a quivering hand, to operate upon a pa- ( ticnt in case where balf-a hair,» breadth

might touch a vital cord and end life. Much depends on their being in prime , condition . It wa« said there were enough minister* ; and that the student* in the > college* should go and learn a trade. To this his response was "Gad btaas all societies, and especially missionary so cieties : all old-fashioned things ; and God help-u# to go beyond them all." lli* third point was thai there should lie a time of renewal to each one of them Politically, he believed they were oome back to a ooodmot. when they would no longer be steered by their "interests" and the policy which oome* of it ; but by "Is this right, or is this wrong ?".✓ Besides that, the school* were educating the people and he thanked God for that. It was a blessed thing that the people would now l>e able to read their Bibles, and would not be left to reoeive religion second hand from those who had not got any to give which was worth the giving. Now they would read books and get the gospel if <>od quickened them as ministers. And now they had not politics to preach, but Jesu* Christ who was at | 5*^ - ( ^ - a - * * ' " v * _ •' uuurtu. ». .. . J ~-.ieai, tiw, and of good report they were on that side ; they were on the side of temperaxcr ; on the side of the limitation of the abominable trade which was ruining our oountry ; on the side of anything which subserved the cause of morality, righteousness, truth, and peace. Let energy and patience go together, and the eternal life would put out it* mightiest force and make them forceful to the~tottermost. — Nat. Baptist. Current Notes.

Kentucky blue grass is said to be a native of Indiana, in spite of its name.

There is a great demand for them in that land, and thousands ef the homely creatures arc j>acked in wet mow and sent to other coun- ; tries to be sold to gardeners. This from Chatham, N. Y.s Services were held in the church Sabbath morning. The ]**tor being too unwell to officiate, his wife did some excellent helpmeeting by reading a first-rate sermon in an unassuming but most attractive manner. Dr. Baboock of Gowanda, X. Y ., ha> tried a novel plan for preventing the curculio from destroying the fruit of the plum trees. According to the ''Enterprise," of that place, he encircled his trees with a coop and placed his chickens therein. The fowl* ate up the pestiferous insects, and the fruit ri}»ened, while that of other tree* which were not so guarded was nearly destroyed. A writer in SoribneP, on "Life in Florence," say* it is a mistake that tlie Italian women are generally beautiful— their eyes and features are good but they have coarse hair and sallow com plexion. Tliey never have the beauty of youth. A young fare is rarely seen. The above mentioned writer says: 1 am fully persuaded that the are 30 year* old when they are born ; at any rata, I have never seen a woman in Florence who looked a day younger. Tlie mon are all very handsome. Clippings from the June Magazines . "Tlie political attitude of the South" , i« a careful paper in tho "Atlantic Monthly."
