The Seed* and the Statue There is a prett, moral in the follow- i iwg little piece, which wo clip Horn an old Magatiue. A gale of wind that swept over tin mins of Copan dclalolied a shower of seed from the trees. One seed fell soli- i tnry and alone at the base of a huge Statne. “ What doest thou here?” ask ed the seed of the statue. .** Oh, nothing, at all,” drawled the statue. ‘'Nothing exclaimed the seed ; —“ thou liaic thing, thou wert better in the son, that Mil trees might grow where thou staudest“lfni ht! ha!” laughed the statue, “what is the rebuke of a pun, thing like thyself to me who have Mood the tempests of un numbered years ? ’’ “ Thou mnyott laugh to-ds, at mo’ if thou wilt,” said the seed, “ but a hundred years hento 1 will la, thy proud form amidst thib- rubbish be- MW.” Immediately tlint sred took root and grew lustily ; it spread ifa root* be neath the statue, end east its branches wide shove it; till *t lost by the increase of it* trunk, it toppled the statue over.

Secret of Powerful Preaching 1 No seine.ll preached in New d'bigfand r lis.o-acquired greater celebrity than that |.icachc'l-by Pn .sideht Kdward-, at Kn ticl.ElulrtL 1? 11. from the Words, “Their foot sllidl ftide in due time.” Wlieli be went into tbc meeting house, (tie p]ier 'mice of the assembly Was thonghth sand I vain; the people hardly e inducted them sell 1 with eoniinoa dec ney. But a: the ■ preacher proceede 1, the audience was so j i ovi rwhelmtd with distress Mi l .weeping ! that lie was obliged i desire silence, that | jhe might he heard. A powerful revival j 1 followed. It iss. i l tbit a minister in the : I pulpit in tl e agitation of l.is feelings eanght the preacher by the’ skirt, and cried, “ Mr H , is not (h el a God or incr-’ cy ?’’ Some if the hearers were such tin- ! Lejiiseinu'ly bracing thentsclvM against ! the pillars and sides of the p-ns, as if lo itliee's ili-pdiiy of their mental agitation, ii t i-fact is chi and simply a* a jirevf of ! t'resident KdwnrJ’s peculiar elmittvnee f the more sinking b cause if was his hub jits simply to read from Ids notes without gesture. But there is .moth r element to he ; taken into tho account ! n explaining this [ result, and one that has been strangely tivrilOukcd. On the evening bo lore the sermon to which we have referred was delivered, a number of miui-ters and pious Christ jams met together, and tinitesl for a cons! lerablc time in fervent prayer, for a blessing upon the discourse of the preacher. Behold, then, the secret of sucocm —heartfelt iu;d united auppliea i lion. Another sermon, the immediate results of which were, pbrhnps nioru striking’ ihijn the results of any enc of modern times, wn- preached by a Mr. Livingstone in Scotland.. This also is often cited as an illuslration of tho power of eloquence. But iik umid work, by Robert Pickling of Tlutterdaiii; entitled, “ The fulfilling id’ the Scriptures,” will be found precise* ly the saute explanations of these extrn urdiyary results : “ 1 imtd also mention,” he says, “ that solcmii communion nt the kirk of Sliotts, Juno 20, 1(J:!0, at which there was so convincing an appearance of God and down the Spirit— by the set moil"on Mom! iy, 21st of June, it was known (which I can speak nif MBm. ground) that nearly five hundred Jtair at that time a discernible change on them of Whom most proved lively Christians af terwards; it was the sowing of seed through Clydesdale, and many of the insat eminent Christians in that country could date either their conversion or some remarkable confirmation of their grace from that day. _ This was the inure re ttiarkiiblu . because the preacher” after much reluctance was by a special and un expected prutidouce, called to preach that sermon on the Monday which then wu# not usually’practised. The night Be fore, however, was by most of tho Chris tians spoilt fn prayer; so that tho Mon day’s work, as a convincing return of prayer might bo discerned. Here, tin 11, is tlic recre*. Christiuus, having received on tho Sabbath an anointing from on high, spent the night in that wrestling and prevailing prayer which an anointing alone c ills into exorcise. These two extraordinary tacts, therp lorc aro to bo cited as examples, not of the power of eloquence, but of the power of prayer. Ami as 0110 preacher was a giant iu intellect, thu C'her of ordinary capacity, they show that the power of the J Gospel is not limited by the laleiits of the j preacher, hut depend.- for its lull effect on j the suitable combination of those two | elements of ministerial as well as apostol-1 ical strength, “ the word of God and j prayer.” They show what the pulpit i- j capable of 1 fleeting, and Compel us to | mourn that its or Jinny efficiency is far below “ hut ought to hu expected from mi agency cap ddo of so much. 1 hey tell ■Christian-not to bo wishing that they J had a mole talented minister to build up ‘ limit clmiob, but tojcuinpa-s about the one they have with prayer—to double their minister's energy by doubling their own prayers j for to multiply by prayer j the usefulness of the ministers wc have, is as advantageous as to multiply their number. Let any sermon bo compassed about with prayer, as was that at Knflcld, I and at the kirk of Shott*,'and se’O if the* 1 preacher do not show that his words are- ‘ spirit and life. Let any pulpit where i the trutli is preached be encircled day arid night by such prayer, and charged with electric energy, it will givo shocks of tvsistless |mjwt Advice of an Author- A learned doctor having printed two heavy vulune’s of “ Natural History,”’ a friend reiiiniked to him that his publicu- setWul'particolnrs. rxiremely erruueous: and when tho other dut'ended his volumes, replied, “ Pray, doctor, arc you not a justice of the peace? ” ‘• I am, sir,” was the reply. “ Why, then, sir,” added his critic,’ “I advise you to scud your work whero you aeud your vagrants, that is, to tho bouse of c irfoetiou.” * What Caine of a Boy's Running Away j frost Hem's About a year an the anxious bewil- ] : tiered i'auc us-a paur woman, in search of J her he-t ooy, was familiar on the rat}- } ■ read in the nortliAii part of Ohio.

Wo oueo saw the poor woman at a de pot on the Clevrlaul and Colutnbus road. She had been engaged r in • U< r fruitless switch for over‘three months. A com passionate bystander was attempting- to soothe her by telling her that-her son was doubtless take menus of somewhere. She said she Would be happy if she only knew that he was not suflciing. She could not eat, she said, for she imagined that lor boy wus suffering from hunger, and she could not sloop, fur the pio’uro ii her 1 boy without shelter was constmitly on her mind. Her stijifety and grief had in 1 V fenrfnl inroads upon a countenance that must have been prepossessing once ( she was only in middle life,) and there was a strange glitter in her eye tlipt betokened approaching insanity. In the following brief paragraph in a recent number of the Cleveland U rn/,/ wc find the sequel to tho sad story of Catherine lluckt “ Kitusn bt Tit* Cab*. —An insane woman was lately killed by tlic ears oil the Allaiitio and Great Western Railroad, near West Greenvile, I’a.

There is one thing of importance that the youth should always keep in view, viz:—that they will one day be old, and that in youth all actions against or that’ cmiliat with the laws of nature and of!
