His kind friends would not let him talk much, but sent him to bed. When he was asleep they looked in upon him, and were so pleased with his pleasant face that they determined to keep him if he was willing. In the morning they found he was only too glad to remain. They sent him to school, and afterwards he entered a monastery There he found the Bible, which he read, and from which he learn¬ ed the way of life. He became the great preacher and reformer, Martin Luther.

The homely sermon took effect, and from that moment the Gospel Melded all the poAvers of his bril¬ liant, active mind. Dui'ing his illness, Augustus Toplady seemed 1° li ye in the vestibule of glory. To a friend’s inquiry he answered Mth a sparkling eye: “Oh, my dear sir, I cannot tell the comforts H fee] in my soul; they are past ex¬ pression. The consolations of Lod are so abundant that lie leaves nie nothing to pray for.

The Philadelphia News plains that while our exports to South America are decreasing our imports from the counties of that continent are increasing. Last year we exported to South Amevi cn. $28,000,000 woitli of pioduut and manufactures of all kinds, * 30 ’ 0 ? 0 ’ 000 in 1884 * 0m ' South American imports, . which were only $(.>,000,000 m 1884, last , , year amounted to $84,000,000. If the News really wants to know j-fi 0 i-g^on of this unfavorable change and the explanation of our puny trade with South America, -j. s fi ou ifi read prayerfully the fol \ ow i n g editorial from the llio j ane j ro Jfews: “There is something extraordi nar fiy sanguine in the tempera men jj G | American merchants anil legislators. They feel that they ought to have a controlling influ euoe i u this great South Ameri can trade, and they are doing an immense an^punt of talking and planning over it; but somehow they never get beyond offers to sell, and objections to buy. Their idea of trade appears to be an exchange of manufactured goods for cash, no matter how it may be obtained. They are even willing to subsidize steamers to carry out the goods, if they will not bring back anything except cash. There is not a practicle of doubt but that American merchants and manufactures might largely in¬ crease their trade with the Latin American countries, if they would only consent to trade on equal terms. But as long as Uncle 8am refuses to take what they can produce, they will very naturally go and buy where they can sell.

A few days ago we were handed a copy of what purports to be a lecture before the Presbyterian of New York city “re garding faith cures," in which the author expresses his belief in the. fuitli euros of our duy. we do not pretend to make a re view of this little book or its au thor, but only submit a few words in reply. (1) When it was handed us, we were told it was by a Presbyterian divine. In answer to this we con fess that there are a few Presby terian “cranks also, (2) We suppose there are but fow genuine Christians of any or all denominations who do not bo lieve that, people have been cured of disease in answer to faithful prayer, just as truly as they re oeive their “daily bread" or the forgiveness of sins, If this is all that is meant, we see no room for discussions among cliristiaus. But if it is meant that some of the present day have the gift of mi raculous healing, we hope to be pardoned for withholding our bo fief until we have seen at least some evidence. (3) The author referred to says that “Faith Cures possible; > are . and then asks the question, “Are they probable?" He answers the question positively, “No. That would require little less than om¬ niscience.” If this man is good authority, are not Christians sub¬ ject to mistake when they assert that certain parties were healed in that way, and therefore liable to do great harm by making unre¬ liable statements? Our author, Mr. Pay son, says that proof is impossible, because avg cannot know “all the antecedents of the cure;” but that this is not to he taken as “evidence against the ex¬ istence of the fact.’’ Very good; but in certain individual cases, it is very demonstrable that the “faith cure" did not avail. When the “faith cure has been attempt¬ ed, and for aAvliile everything seems favorable, yet eventually the cure is undeniably it failure, it is very clear that neither the mod icine, . . the .. . the noi imisillg, . nol “anointing oil,” nor the the faith - fill „ , , has AVl’OUght , , . prayer tl cure that case.

Two great enemies—Hood’s Sarsaparilla and impure blood. The latter is utterly defeated by the peculiar medicine. Some of the Georgia newspa¬ pers speak of Macheu, a little town in Jasper county, on the Covington and Macon railroad, as the Guthrie of Georgia.
