own experience to lis convinced of this How mocb are ws restrained from redenets by the silent presence o I one whom we have noticed es being pooetiliously polite. Notice, too, h->w this conrtesy of manners at s public table, 00 the part of one or two entire strangers, restrains tha piggish greediness of the company. Fellow passengers in a railway cer.or omnibus, or boat, sometimes meet with detentions, or aro subjected to annoyances through ovvrcruwdiug or wtwt^f accommodations, and every body is cross and disposed to be as thoroughly oneonfortsbls as pns.inte .. The preaeoes of even one man in socTi 'a crowd, who quietly and pleasantly trlrs to make the best of what manifestly cannot be helped, often changes the whole tone of feeling in the company, and before tbey are aware, tbry find themselves making merry over the affair as though It were a good jske, iostoad of wording themselves op la a state of fruitless and a acorn forts b I c vexstiou. If tha man wars to Set about argoiog with his fallow passengers aboat the folly of their coorae, or" should he undertake to lecture ou the •object, be would only intensify their iudigaslioo. No maa can axeel greatly ia anything, without producing a powerful effect oa those tronnd-bim by the mere fact of bis excellence. It is n visible demonstration of whnl eao be done ia that particular line, and this is the only kind of demonstration which tbs majority of minds are capable of comprehending. The addition of a bright papil to a class always gives the class a fresh impulse. It places before lbs other poptls s new standard of sxeelleast, which Ihty can realise as attainable. A mechanic in a village, who reaches special excellence in any particular prodnct of hit skill, teaches unconsciously and unintentionally every mechanic ia the town who it engaged ia the tame lias of business. Tbs Uee of thought which ws have been pursuing has a special laaaoo forth# religiose teacher. Let him abate nothing from bis endeavors at formal, systematic instruction. Bat let him also remember the silent power of hit own example, well aaanred that by being good he ia giving the bast possible lesson In goodness.— SundaySchool Tim*. j The Society of Ladies. \ Whatever fcn a man's station lo jib, . j whether higher ar lowar. poblic or prl- , ' vat*, he will become a belter man aad aaj capa many a disease, if he will HsUa in ' ! due season lo the voica of tha iaulligent 1 and refiaed among tha other sex.

Io praeaatfog this tba first ananai report of Sabbath Schools io lbs cosuty of Capa May, it gives ma great pleasure to say. that 1 am permitted Jbraegb tha goodness of onr Heavenly Teacher end tba kindoeee of the aapariatvndaots who beva responded to tha questions io the blanks that have baeo left with them, in giving a foil report of the Sabbath Schools io this eonnty. Fpr a minute statement, reference will made to the statistical reoord. AI' of tbe schools Ibat I have been permitted to visit have received ma vary cordially, and manifest much seal and ioterert in the work of Sabbath School instruction. As ws hod no coonty organisation prior to October tba 10th of this year, tha work not been aa thorough io vieiling all the schools ae desired ; having ns Township Secretaries, the whole of tbe work devolved opon the Couoly Secretary, aad many of the schools situated at such a distance from my reaidenca, I bed to cell io lbs aid of the sopvrinlv ndents for full statistics. Thres of tha Sabbslb Schools having only given in n partial report, 1 am unable to give e fall statement of the etatietic* si is desired by myself; 1 trusting in the year 1066, at lbs Annual Meeting of tbn Association, Cape May will not be behind nny nf the counties io tbe State for a fall and complete sutieti- ' eel statement. On October loth, 1865, a call was mada for a poblio mealing of Sabbath School friends, to take piece el tile First ' Baptist Church, Capa May Court House, which was most heartily responded to by ovary minister of tbe Oospcl nod a largo number of the frirodn of tha Sabbath , Schools in oor count; ; at this meeting " our count; waa organised into to Association, noxilfor; to tbn New Jersey Sunday School Association, by tbs forming of a Cooatltotioo sod By-Lews, and Secretaries elected for our Townships, to visit Iks schools, gather statistics and orgaoite the Townships. Capa Msy has been somewhat sloggish ia hvr organisation, to tha parrot Society, but we trust in tbe future she will oot b« behind hvr i sister counties in bur seel end interest in elding and lastaioing this beloved Association, which New Jersey should be ] proud of. Tbe cense of Christ in ell of j oor echooli is ths deep and absorbing !' thought, na wall ae prayer, Ibat tbn Ureal ' I Teacher and Head of oor tchools, will, by g bit Holy Spirit visit each superintend- ' 1 nnl and laecber. and Ibrongb them every | scholar, SO that the Sabbath Schorl shell I become a nnrnery to tbe Church m /art, 1 ns well on by name. • Wn praise and thank Uod for tin sixiy 1 t ransomed fouls from death nuto life, that t onr schoole report during tbn year, but 1 yet wo foal humiliated before Uod, tbet j ' tbe number is so email ; our faith leads t os to baliava tnat a good work is oaw ■ befog maoifested ia tba heaiU of many iu 1 c > this coonty, io several places.
