Prayer,
The evaporation from the earth’s surface which is returned to it in fertilizing rain, rises from places and from substances con- taining water, Little or nothing ts given to it by the trodden and dusty highway, the barren mountain, or the broad reaches of the stony desert. It ixdrawn up, by the attrac. tive forces of the atmosphere, from fruitful fields and gardens, from the. foliage of the forest, from the springs that gush from the hillaides, from the brooks that flash and sparkle in the glens, from the oceans that carry health and plenty round the globe— Much of it is polluted, Some of it has been exhaled from stagnant pools, some from fetid morasses, some from loathsome sewers.— But all goes into theair, and is there filtered and purified, The salt becomes fresh, the foul sweet, the turbid clear. And then the shower falls,—yet not alone on the spots whenco its treasures came, but every where, —rushing and pouring in its fulness over the land and over the sea, on thé thirsty ne and on the swelling river, on the low shrub and on the lofty plae, on the grainclothed meadow and on the naked rock, on the hovel and on the palace, on the green lanes of the hamlet and on the paved streets of the crowd: ed city, How the earth rejoices! How the Pens leaves glisten! How the corn sings!
How the valleys smile! How the hill-tops shout! How all nature laughs in its glad- ness!
So does the spirit of grace and of sypplica- tion draw up prayer from the hearts ‘af God's children—from liearts wet with tlie tears ot penitence, and washed in the blood of Pro- pitintion. Imperfect, indeed, that prayer is, and ever must be, The fountaing from which it ascends are yet strongly imbued with re: mafning earthliness, often sullied by sensual passion, often soiled by the feet of worldly care, Still, however tnworthy, it fs borne aloft by its Divine Attractor into the presence of Infinite Holiness. There, cast into the alembic of Christ's Intercession,—ita defile- ment taken away, ite faith and sincerity ac- cepted,—it is distilled into blessed rain—rain freighted with every mercy man can need now and forever—rain descending not merely on the offerers of prayer but on the undevout and godless; bringing grace to the sinner,

ittle Sins
What a trifling portion of a great tree it takes to minke a'single match, ‘Not enough to bé of any appropriate use in making even the smallest useful structure, Yet one of these might easily burn down the largest building.
A gentleman visiting oneof these factories ascertained that they used up, every day, one lorgé tree in the manufacture of these Bee articles—and something more, making fall four hundred every year. What # forest to convert in anything 49 apparently insignifi-
At; yet, match by aastakt the mighty tim- bers all consumed,
Is it not like the little sins which eat away into,tho stronghold of our faith, and under- tile all our good resolutions? ‘They seem so trifling, as we view them one by one; our suspicion of danger is lulled to aleep,
In certain harbors if you plant deep and firm the mightiest timbers as foundations for your wharves, you will find, aftera time, that w little insect has been at work plércing like a tiny thread of fire, the oaken pila; so that if a hand touches it, it will cramble like wood burned in tie flame, Perhaps 'you have seen’ sections of piles, or ship's; timbers, which were thus riddled through and through, by these madripores. Did the sight oot awaken a thought in your mind with regard to your own danger in cherishing these ‘little foxes,’ whicheat up all the rich fruit which you should bear tothe glory of God? Beware of little sins, Asan old writer expresses it, “q ship may be sunk by a cargo of sand, 14
well 18 by «cargo of millstones.” —
Good Use of a Sermon.
Mr. Nott, a minsionary to one of the Islands {n the Pacific ocean, preached a sermon one day upon the words, “Let him that stole sténl no more,’ In the sermon he said it was a duty to return things that had for- merly been stolen, ‘The noxt morning, when lie opened his door, lie saw a number of na tives sitting on the ground around his house. Ho was surprised to see thom there so early ind asked why they had come, — “We hay not been able to Meep all night,” they said, “We wore at the chapel yesterday, and heard you say from the word of God that Jehovah commanded us not to steal; whereas woe wor shipped a God who we thought would pro tect thieves. We have stolon. All the things that we have brought with us are stolen foods.” ‘Then one of the men held up a saw, ing, “I stole this from tho carpenter of sucha ship.” Others held up knives and va rious tools. “Why have you brought them to mo?’ asked Mr. Nott, ‘Take them home and wait till the ships from which you stole them come again, and return them, with a prevent besides,” ‘The people begged Mr.
‘ott to koop the things until they eould find the owners, One man, who had stolen from a misalonary thon being on another island, took n Voyage of seventy milos to return the goods. "That is the trae way to improve by preaching—do what itaays, A great many people form good resolut(ons whon they hear aaermon which touches the heartd and fn stracte theirconuclences ; but food resolutions are worth nothing unloss they are set to ae tion. That clinches the foolings, and makes thom of value.
Child Swearing,
“TL have a mind to Whip you till you cannot ftand,!" anid a wicked and. profane man, rising from hia seat, and looking wrathfully at his fon, a little boy, just aie to wpoak plain Whint had the child done to deaurvé wach se yore punishment? Used two oaths, auch on wore continually dropping from the lipa of hin father But hin own words wo shocked that parent that he thought he could not yoolah him too severely for the offence, The ittle one looked the angry man full In the oyd, and quiotly aald "Father, if you whip who will whip yout” A thunderbolt could not have startled him more. Thequer tion got his own pin and desert of punishment In the Nght of hoon day. He turned away, confused and ashamed, and daid ia his heart, “TL will awoar no more.” He kept his word

THE STORY OF A HERO.
HY GRORAGK MANNVILLE INN,
(From the London Star.)
And I don’t think T ever shall get to take it av a matter of course, sir—taking it cool Tere we are liv- ing about as exciting a life as men can lead
-always on duty, and ready at a mornent to have a set to with the worst fire that ever broke out, No:T shall never get to take it ns 4 matter of course; for it’s all dark, rush and excitement ; and I love it sir, Flush comes'the news to us by tele- graph, most likely ;out come the horses; there's alightput to the ready trimmed and then with a train of sparks flying out behind us, aa the fire roars, and the steumn ia getting up, away gallop the horses,
Ay, its“ Hil hoi! hollo!” and they
clear the road for us; and away we go full gallop down the streets, with the Ree 100fs striking fire, the crowd shouting, and the running mob increasing at every fAtep. There's something in it as warms one's blood and as to the danger—well of course, ‘ite dangerous ; but when we feel that we're doing our duty, and know what's before us, why somehow we don't remember the danger, but go at it in earnest.
Now, there was only last week, sitting as I was waiting for a call—there it was at lust, late on in thenight, when the streets were clear; und away we tore at some. thing like a puce, Oxford street, Holborn, down the Hit up Skinner street, and New- gate street-—whoop | and away full gallop, with che horses enjoying it, bless you, and lnshing out til! it’s hard to say whether they didn't make more sparks then the fire under the boiler. We wanted no more instruct. ions, for there waa the red glow on ahead ¢ and as we got nearer we could wlimoat see the sparks; and at last we did see them come pouring and rolling slong with the smoke, and being a heavy, hot night, hang- ing like a thick starspangled cloud just oyer our heads,
Two engines were there, and as it hap- pened so late there were not 80 many peo- ple as might have been’ expected; but as soon a8 I got there I saw as something par- ticular was the matter, and this is what it was, The fite was in quite a narrow court, where they couldn't get the escapes, and there was people burning to death; while above the shouting of the mob and clanking of the engine hard at worl: you could hear their awful cries for help.
Now don’t you suppose hat I am proud of all this I’m going to tell you, because I’m not, Now, if you were to dash in and save any one’s life, why, no doubt it would be brave and gallant, because you would haye done it oyt of true compassion for a suffer ing fellow creature; but then with me it's quite different,, I'm paid so much a weel to save life and property from fire; conse- quently Tonly do whats my duty to do.
I runs up thegourtaxe in hand, and s00n sees the state of affairs. One house wasin a blaze from top to‘bottom, and the flames had worked through into the next, und were attacking the one opposite, while, with their escape regularly cut off, there were about a half adozen people at the upper windows of the same Rouse! and no way of getting to them, There was no back door to the place, being in one of those crowded city places ; while the door in front and stair case were now fast get- ting into ‘a state of glow, off which the water sputtered and steamed without mak- ing any impression,
There was no time for laders or any- thing else but the sheets, and them we got stretohed out'for the people to jamp into, but, poor things! they dared not, and what to do I could not tell. There was the fire blazing up higher and higher, and lighten- ing up two of them old city churches that see lost down those old) courts, and z as if they'd been, put there out ’o the way because people didn’t have any use for them now. There they were lit up and glowing, and ‘the pigeons that lived up there scared and flying round and round the fire; there was the rush and roar of the wind along the court as it set towards the fire; and theré were the flames leaping up, the clouds of sparks rising, the clouds of amoke rollingyuway, and the crackling sputter of the slates as they flew with the heat, and then slid rattling off in the court beneath, smash upon the pavement, Every now and then came a louder roar and a crash as a rafter or beam fell in, and »sent the sparks up in a whirlwind, And there All that time were those poor creatures ut- tering the wildest piercing shrieks for help you ever heard, Now, I've heard so mach of thit sort of thing that you'd expect I shouldn't mind it; but I do though; and aa T said about the fires, I don't. think | shall ever get to take it ay o matter of cou! for there is something very awful in seeing fellow creatures strong and hearty, and yet dying before your eyes, and you not able to save them,
But I wasn't idle all this time—not a bit of it, for every minute is worth something ata fire, and if you give it too much time it will beat you. Under the circumstances the first thing was to save life, and whilst them a8 lad the branches did thier best to keep the fire back from them at the third floor window, I got hold of a rope, and in at the liouge opposite, und made my way upstairs to the third floor, which, like the reat of the plicd, was Used as a warchouse and crammed fullof packages.
Being a strange house it waa not nay to find your way, but I got up at last, and op posite t6 the’ room where the poor thing wore all now huddled together at one wir dow, forthe fire was gaining on them, so that unless they were soon helped they wouldn't want it,

for though # ladder set nearly upright may | be atrong enough, it makes ita ‘deat weaker to lay it down level and then go and crawl along it. 1 knew how it wonld be, though so I tied the rope round my body, and mac my mute hitch the other end round a big hook in the wall, used for a pulley, so that inthe eventof a fall, if the rope held good, I shouldn't have gone all the way, They tied one end of the Indder, too, for to keep it steady, and then there T'was scrambling across, with the Indder bending and quiver- ing, and. the crowd underneath hurrying and clapping their hands jast as if Twas doing a bit of Blondin to please them.
How that ladder did bend; so that I thought it must give way, did me go crash into the court; butit didn’t; and the next moment I was in the window of the burn- ing house with the¢rembling womencling- ing to me,
“Now, then,” I saya to one man, “you can creep across,” and T pointed to the lad der,

Then they loosened the rope again, and We sent another woman over, and she was insensible witli fear, and we got her over all right, though she, too, slipped off the lad- der. Then there were two little girls; one after the other; and it was sad to see how they trembled and shook—too much fright- ened to cry, as well they miglit be, for the heat was awful; and I knew that another quarter of an hour would find the room we were in red hot.
We got another over—a young man —and he was dragged over too, for he dare not try to crawl across, and T suppose to a man as in’t used to such things’ to creep over a place like that, all those feet over the pave- ment, and when you've been frightened to

Zs And ah! it was hard to pray there—to keep your thoughts in the midst of that tlerce, suffocating heat of amoke-and steam from the water pouring into the room. And how everything else but the words of pray- er came into one's mind; and St was as if the devils—clespniring, blaspheming devils were hissing in my ara to curse and shriek oaths. Then, too, came the thought of those at home and the little golden’ curls that I should play with no more; and how I could now understand the dread my wife always had of whatshe called my frightful business, Yes; I had saved seyen that night; but it was hard to die—hard to give up life at eight and twenty, and suffer the death from which I had saved so many.
