Consistent Asking.
It is surely scarcely necessary to

lire best of all Tilings,
The Christianity which is a di
vine life a divine inspiration, and
a divine hope, is so inexpressibly
dear to so many people, it is such
a help to them in the struggle with
their grosser natures, it gives to life
and death so stupendous a meaning
it. is such a comfort in trouble and
j sorrow and burden-hearing, that
we Should need to be inhuman not
I to regard the efforts aimed at its

Oi asking.
Is the world getting worse? It
has always been full of croakers
Many have seen that it was going
to the bad with lightning speed.
Perhaps if it is in anv respect worse
than in former times, allowing for
the greater number of people in it,
the chief element in its present sad
condition is that we have an un I
; usually large suppl y ofcrmikers and
I despondent* just now, and that
they croak louder than ever. It is
insisted that there are more infidels,
skeptics, heretics, more men and
women of loose morality, more
crimes, mure genera’ demur,iliza
j tion than ever before, and more ev I
i il of every kind now rampant. We !
j do not credit, these In-wailings. The i
world is bird enough, but it bus til- |
ways been full of sin and crime. - j
We hear more about it in our day;
that, qjakes the chief difference

llow to (Jet Flesh.
How is a very thin lady, weigh
ing but little more than a hundred
pounds, to become more fleshy ? j
There is no rule applicable alike to I
all conditions and constitutions.
A person may come of a lean and
bony race, hut she may try. Omit
vinegar, Unions, soda, pickles, and j
the like. Avoid an exclusively 1
meat diet, late hours, and all violent
exercise. Wit milk, vegetables and
farinaceous Mod, and eat regularly
once ir. four or six hours. Go to
bed always at an early hour on a
wellfilled stomach. Leave off cor
sets, heavy clothing hanging to the
hips, and light shoes. Fear God.
keep his commandments, and spend
• the chief part of every day in useful
1 industry. If this does not increase
f the flesh, nothing will do it that we
know of.
Kaowitrg How to laud.
Mr. Moody is a natural leader,
put him where you will. He sees
what is to lie done, how it cun be
done in the best wav, and directs
one to do it. All the details of the
meetings are carrii d out io the most
adurruble manner. As an illuslra
