My courage oozed off; my heap, grew faint—I was conquered.— That night after I went home, in reflecting over my foolhardy ad- venture, I could have scourged myself. The sweet angelic coun- tenance of my mute accuser Dame up before me ill the visions of the night; I could not sleep. Nor did I rest till, some days after, I went to the home of the lady I had insulted and asked her par- don.

'The other day,' says Dr Nor - Norman McLeod, ' I was request- ed by a brother minister who was unwell, to go and yisit a dying child. He told me some remark- able things about this boy, , 11 years of age, who, during three years' sickness, bad manifested the most patient submission to t o will. of God, with sinsular en- lightenment of the spirit- T refit to visit him. The child had suf- fered excruciating pain ; for years , he had not known one day's rest, I gazed with wonder at the boy. After drawing near to him and speaking some words of sympathy, he looked at me with his blue eyes—he could not move, it was the night beforo he died—and breathed into my ear these fow words, "I am strong in Him." The words were fen and uttered feebly; they were the words of ti feeble child in a poor home,where the only ornament was that of i meek and quiet and affectionate mother; but these wordspeemed to lift the burden from the very heart they seemed to make the world more beautiful than ever it was before ; they brought home to my heart a great and' blessed truth. May all of us be " strong in him:"—Life of Dr Norman Macleod. KEEP YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE. mined in my opposition. But she was silent, and I felt as if my voice was striving to make itself heard against the word of an Om- nipotent God : Oh, how often would it bo bitter, if, instead of vain argument of hot dispute, the Christain would use the magic of silence I' Every person is directly re- sponsible to God for first carefully seeking to know what the Word of God. is, and then implicitly obeying it as he understands it. He may not yield up his convic- tion to another man's until that other shows. hint that his convic- tion is wrong. ' Firmness in the right, • as God gives us to see the ' right,' Wyss one of the golden say- ings in President Lincoln's inau- gural address, °^worthily: mated with that other, ' With malice to. ward none, with charity for all.' This Without that would only give feeble harmlessness. That with ' this give, the strongest and noblest character. 'Firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right,' not feeble and facile yielding to what another declares to be Gods will, while he • neither shows us he is authorized to speak for God, nor (as brave Luther put it to the Diet. at Worms) convinces us ' by proof from Holy Scripture or by cogentreasons.' When prayer- and rayer- and honest study ofGod'sWord and providence has brought you to a clear conviction of duty, do riot let any ono else dissuade you from it by any confident affirma- tion of -his opinion, nor by any- thing else. except .' proof' from Scripture,or cogent reasons' which do really reverse your own convic- tion. Whenever you are tempt- ed thus to surrender your glorious prerogative of direct responsibili- ty to God,think of the old prophet Bethel, how fatally he misled a 'man of God' who hearkened too weakly to him. Behold the weak, good man's 'carcass cast in the 'way, and the -ass mid the lion standing by .the carcass.'

Among them, however, there was one ex- ception, a serious, quiet and beau- tifuliwoman,\vhose religious opin- ions were well known, and whore pen had for n Tong time spoken eloquently in the cause of truth and virtue, through the columns of our village paper. Suddenly 1 conceived the thought of banter- ing her on religious subjects, and with the foolhardiness of youth and recklessness of impiety, I launched forth with some sale infidel objection that none but the fool who has said in his heart, 'There is no God,' would venture to reiterate. The flock of silly goslings ab)ut me laughed and tittered, and I, enc-ouragod by their mirth, grew bold and repeat- ed my inuendoes, •occasionally glancing slyly toward the princi- pal butt of sly fun. She did not scent to notice me at all ; and she did not smile, dill not look at. me. Still I continued my- impious hai- rangtte, thinking that she must refute something, that she Would not surely hear her own faith held tip to r;di(•ule by a beardless boy. The snickerers around me gradu- ally began to ,glance toward her. Her fico was so quiet, so even sol- emn in Its quiet, that serif,Ilsnets stole over them, and I stood alone, striving by my set;relcss laugh- ter to burly up my fast-sina(ing courage.

A, FINE POINT AS TO THE POWERS OP AN Ex -PREACHER IN THE CHURCH. "The Old Oaken Bucket, ' The Iron -bound Bucket, The Moss -covered Bucket," is very likely the one that has conveyed poi- sons to your system from some old well whose waters, have become contaminated from sewers, vaults, or percolations from the soil. To eradicate these poisons from the system and save yourself a spell of malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, and to keep the liver, kidneys and lungs in a healthy and vigorous condition, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It arouses all the ex- cretory organs into activity, thereby cleans- ing and purifying the system, freeingit from all manner of blood -poisons, no matter from what cause they havo arisen. All diseases originating from a torpid or deranged liver, or from impure blood yield to its wonderful curative properties. It regulates the stom- ach and bowels, promotes the appetite and digestion, and cures Dyspepsia, Liver Com- plaint," and Chronic Diarrhea. Salt -rheum, Tetter, Eczema, Erysipelas, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Enlarged Glands and Tumors disappear under its use. - Golden Medical Discovery" is tho only blood and liver medicine, -sold by druggists, under 'a positive guarantee of its bene- fiting orcuring in every case, or money paid for it will be promptly returned. Copyright, Ism, by WORLD'S Les. MED. ASS'N. An interesting question was discussed at a recent district meet- ing of Methodists in the Niagara Conference. It had a minsterial and matrimonial side, and became a subject of debate in this way : At the last meeting of the Confer • - ence in Norwich, a clergyman re- signed his ministerial functions and withdrew' from the body. So far aawas known to the district meeting in question,• he has not ' rejoined the Church, either as an ordained member, a local preach- er or a regularly ordained minis- ter. Yet it was reported at the meeting that lie not only occupies Methodist pulpits, but solemnizes matrimony. Tho question arose, lfas he the right' to do such things.? It was contended that he Wright occupy -a pulpit on •the the responsibility ot'the regular pastor, but according to tho dis- cipline,being outside the commun- ion by his oWli action in resign- ing his position to the Church, it � was held that he could not legally solemnize marriage, at all events until such time its he is restored to the standing of a preacher, It is a nice point, which those spec- ially interested can study up for themselves. If it is +veil taken, the couples who have .been wedded would find themselves in an awkward position, The dis- trict meeting took the ground that, as the ex -member of Con- ference referred to was outside its jurisdictionjit was not called upon to interfere in the matter, though several mcm.bers strongly ques- tioned the legality- of marriages so celebrated. However, if the par- ties immediately concerned are satisfied, it is not likely that any outside parties will take steps looking to an untying of the knot. In the celebrated Stevenson di- vorce case, which attracted so much attention twenty or twenty - ,five years ago, one of' the points at issue was the legality of a mar- riage solemnized by the late Rev. P. Roblin a local preacher'in the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Mr Roblin had been a • local preacher in the M. E. ,Church beforothe union with the British Wesleyans 1 in 1833. The .:piscopal Method- ists permitted their local preach- ers to marry, but the Wesleyans did not. Mr Roblin continued to exercise his old powers and privi- leges, at least until a doubt was thrown, upon the legality of the marriages performed. by glint, by the plea in the divorce ease men- tioned above. A DROP FROM THE CLOUDS. 'Iluw does it fuel to let go of the balloon when you are 2,000 or 3,- 000 feet in the air ?' said Thomas E. Grimley, the parachuto(jumper. 'I'm stere I cannot tell. One conies down so rapidly, he has hardly time to analyze his feel- ings. Maclain, my partnor,com- pares the sensation to that of be- ing upset in the river. We cat loose from the balloon almost mechanically, and before we re- alize we are .loose we have shot down a couple ofhundred feet,and thereafter the remainder of the descent is easy.
