A New York wholesale grooer, who has become rich in his business, has lately made the following revelation. He says his rule -always was when he sold a bill of goods on credit, to immediately subscribe for -the local paper of his debtor. So long as bis customer advertised liberally and vigorously, he rested easy, but as soon as he began to contract his advertising apace, he took the fact as evidence that there was trouble ahead, and he iovari fcly went for his debt. "For," said he, "the man who feels too poor to make his 'business know, is too poor to do bu si nes." The withdrawing of an adver tisement is an evidence of weakness, that business men are not slow to ob isorve. Soene in a printing office which ad vertised for girls to set type. Enter joung woman.

RELiaiovs coLvjttjr, Rkv. C. M. Hrabd, Editor. A Remarkable CoaverDion. BT TBI BIV. W. H. noon. The following incident furnishes proof that however vile may be the man whom the Holy Spirit finds, His abund ant grace, freely bestowed, can cleanse, purify, and 'keep him from falling During the noonday hour of prayer in the Water-street Mission, a young man, John Thomas, walked in, and sealing himself near the door, looked on the proceedings with an air of indifference. This yuung man was a noted gambler, whose father had brought up bis son from early boyhood to all the tricks and wickedness of card-playing, being him self a keeper of a gambling bouse in England. For twelve year, ""John Thomas had followed a dissolute life iu most of the States of this Union, and was hardened in crimes that had con signed him to State Prison more than once. On the above occasion, he was passing the door of the Mission, with no particular purpose in view, and only entered from curiosity. While the few Christians assembled were still in prayer, he felt a strange burning within, and a dreadful sense of oppression which well nigh suffocated him. The missionary spoke to him and learned where, for the present, he was lodging. The next day he was visited and found to be under deep convictions. But he would not then yield. Thomas joined himself to a traveling company of low theatrical characters, and left this city, to bo rid, if possible, of the dreadful load which continued day and night to weigh upon his conscience. After seven months of ineffectual efforts, at one time making ready to destroy his life, to cast on '.he burden, he returned to the city, and at once directed his steps to the Mission again, where he told his condition to the same missionary who had followed him at the first. Now, no longer disobedient to the long- suffering mercy of God, he renounced his sins, his associations, his cards, and in humility and patience believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. The change was instantaneous and very radical. For years he had been a drunkard as well as gambler; but now, trusting Christ for the power, he was saved from the appetite and desire for liquor, as in a moment, and has not experienced any return of the old habit since. Soon this regenerated man obtained employ ment, and began devoting his spare time to missionary efforts among the aban doned characters of the city. His efforts have not beeu without suc cess, while his modest bearing has com mended his testimony to all who thus behold the steadfastness of his dcw faith. He remains a worthy member of a Christian church. Truly, our God i$ a God that doeth wonders. A Quaker residing at Paris was waited on by four of his workmen, in order to make their compliments and ask for their usual new year's gifts. "Well, my friends," said the Quaker, 'here are your gilts; choose fifteen francs or the Bible." "I don't know how to read," said the first, "so I take the fifteen francs." "I can read," said the second, "but I have pressing wants." He took the fifteen francs. The third also made the same choice, lie now came to tho fourth, a young lad of about thirteen or fourteen. The Quaker look ed at him him with an air of goodness. "Will you, too, take these three pieces, which you may obtain at any time by your labor and industry: "As you say the book is good, I will take it, and read it to my mother, replied the boy. He took the Bible, opened it, and found between the leaves a gold piece of torty francs. The others hung down their heads, and the Quaker told them he was sorry they had not made a better choice. The Tw Ways. There are two ways of coming down from tho top of a church 6teeple one is to jump down, and the other is to come down by the steps; but both will lead you to the bottom. So, also, there are two ways of going to hell; one is to walk into it with your eyes open few people do that the other is to go down by the steps of little sins and that way, I fear, is only too common. Put up with a few little sins, and you will soon want a few more; even a heathen could say, "Who ever was content with only one sin: and your couise will be repu larly worse and worse every year. Well did Jeremy Taylor describe the pro gress of sin in a man: "First it startles him. then it becomes pleasing, then easy, then delightful, then habitual, then confirmed. Then the man is lm penitent, then obstinate, and then he is damned. Bookless Houses, We form judgements of men from little things about their houses, of which the owners perhaps never think. Give us a house furnished with books rather than handsome furniture. Both if you can; but books at any rate. Books are the windows through which the soul looks out. A bouse without them is like a room without windows. Let us pity those poor rich men who live bar renly in great bookless houses. Let us congratulate the poor that in our day. books are so cheap that a man every year may add a hundred volumes to his libiary for what his tobacco and beer would cost him. Evil ipeaibg lbe late Jiev. fllr. fierce was a man of excellent spirit. It was a rule with him to discourage all evil speaking, nor would he approve of just censure unless some good and neoessary end were to be answered by it. Two of his distant friends being at his house together, one of them, during the absence of the ottei, suggested something to his dUad vantage. He put a stop to the conver sation by answering, "lie is here; take him aside, and tell him ot it by ibimself, jou may do bim goou." W. S. SERVICE GO AND SEE!
