Different results follow the preaching of the tiospel in the same place and among the' same people ; r-some believe and are saved ; some continue in. unbelief anO'perish, die in sin, and are lost. So it has ever been. "Agaio here is the nature of faith in Jesus Christ; it is, receiving Christ as Offered in, the Gospel; and resting upon him for salvation. :To receive.

The educational effect of newspapers has, mainlysesulted from their encouraging and keeping alive the habit of reading; for a newspaper is toi the general reader far more attractive than:a book—ii fact, a man can read a newspaper,'when he Cannot read any thing else. lleeften finds, however,, that fully - to understand the news of the.day, he must have recourse to books—so difficult is it for'edueated persons, who now write in newspapers, to write with sufficient siinplicity to be invariably understood by the unedu cated, or rather the imperfectly educated. It is, moreover, in c hronicling the progress, of our -educational institutions—from the i university to, the ragged school—and n the fearless advocacy of the great cause of pub lie instruction and political rights, that the newspaper: , must 'be regarded , as the most powerfuraid-to education.—Timbs''f! &heel Daie . 6rXiiiikeiteMert." -• • • for te goung. Good for Evil. " I'll pay him for it, I will," said Henry, as he rushed into the house, half-crying, his face very red and angry, and his clothes covered with snow. " Why, what is the matter?" said aunt Mary; "where have you been ?" "Nowhere, aunt Mary but George Hill pushed me all over into the snow. First he knocked my cap off, and when I stooped dovvn to get it, .he pushed me into a great snow bank; I' 11 pay him for it, though—" "Stop, Henry, do n't say so again, but tell me all about it. Why did George do so; did, you not trouble him first ?" " No, auntie, it is, just because he is ugly=—great strong fellow, he knows we little boys can't hurt, him, •and so when the big boys plague him, he turns upon us." "Then:the other boys had been teasing him." " Yes, ma'am, they laughed about his old cap, and tried to knock it off. Willie Norris said it was saved from the ark." "Did you not join , in the laugh, - too ?" "Yes; ma'am, a little, and as soon as he saw me, he knocked my cap off." "But, Henry, you said you did not trouble him." " Well, =I did not touch him." " But you laughed at him, and a laugh is harder to bear sometimes,thtua a,blow.' I think I know a little hoy'ivho, was very an gry the other day because his sister laughed when he Made a mistake in reading, don't I?" r" , Henry looked down and said nothing, for he knew who aunt Mary meant. " Now, Henry, I' want you to be careful never to laugh when you- see others teased, but try to do as you would be' done'by. Another thing you said; pay him forit,' arid yOu were very angry when you said it; now how do you intend to pay:him for it:?" Henry 'stood picking his cap but made no reply. - • ," I knovi," said aunt Mary, `",how you mean to pay him; you intend to render evil Tor is. 'this what the Bible teaches you; ,what was' the verse you learned •last Sabbath? ' See that none render •evil for evil unto, any man.' Yes, you are taught rather to render goodfor evil. Now is not that the best way to pay George--zgood, for evil, instead ot evil for evil? Think about it till bed,time,•and then tell me " Seery Lung up his cap, - ate his supper, brought in the wood, and then sat -down to study, ,but. every now and then he thought of George and of what aunt Mary had said. Wheulie :went np stairs • to bed, he kneeled -down' and prayed' as he always did'. bat this night he added another petition, that. God would 'forgive him for being angry;and help him to' render good for evil. When aunt Mary went up, to get:the light and say good .night, she asked, "Well, Henry, have you -thought .of -:any way to pay George Hill—any lietter way, than you first intended ?" " Yes, auntie, I have," said .Henry, " George , likes to , skate very much' but he has no skates , and his father is too poor. to buy him any. You know- Uncle:.promised me te pair for Christmas <and all the boys are going out on the pond in the afternoen, to ekate, and I was ,going to have my new .ones to use them. But I have thought 'I would use thy ; old skates another Winter, and ask Uncle to. give me the money-instead, then -I will-put the shilling I' have' earned with it and that will, buy a pair big enough for George." " That,will indeed be a good way to pay him," said' aunt Mary, as the tears glistened in her eyes.. She then: knelt, and asked God' to bless Henry ,and George too; to for give - there 'their trespasses as they , forgive others;,to make them like esus, "so lowly ands° meek.'" Henry could join in the pe tition now, as he could , not 'wheti.his heart was full of anger and, revenge. It was but a few days before 'Christmas. George troubled Henry a - number 'of times, and he lad,to try hard to, keep down his an gry feelings and wait to pay him in a better way. , Christmas (mine •at last, and before daylight was lip, and'set off for the lonae of George. He found him but just up, and only stopped long enough to say, "I wish you a merry Christmas, George; here is apresent I have brought you," and slip ping the parcel into;his-hand,• away he ran, before, George had time to say a word. It was not Until the afternoon, When . Henry:with his old skatei went to join the party on the -pond, that he saw George again. Soon , after -he reached there, Genrge came up, with the new ekateeirehis hand. ~The' boys gathered around hini -and called out, half a dozen at a time, " illy, George, where did you get them.? they are capital ones; new, OD; say, where did you get them ?" George said nothing, but' looked 'to Henry, who -stood behind , him. "Try . them," said Henry, let's. see how : they go." "Yes, try them," cried thelAlier boys- George,tried_on the Skates" and took the lead otiltheice. , 'He 'was 'a fiat, skater, and enjoy d `,the=sport not a little. Butt Henry enjoyed;his old skates,.far more. It was nearly dark when tbe.boys left the ice to go home. George Hill then'joined . Henry, and as-soon as they were alone he said, " Henry, what-did you give me these skates for ? I did not deserve them; I have always teased 'you when , 1-could " "That-is the very reason I wanted to-ren 'der-good for evil; and then I think I was most tublame that.day when you pushed me into the snow. I laughedat you, as I had hefore, and I want you to forgive me, Georze." ".No," said George, "I was. the biggest, and I Vim most to blame, and I w i as ashamed ' of it • but somehow when the boys laugh at me tor my old clOthes, I get so angry :I don't. ; know what to 'do, and then I go home and see how.pale and weak my mother is, and :how .hard father has to work, and then I think I won't care for old clothes, but learn as fast as. I can, and soon be big enough to help father 'more. Then 'I go to school, and when they. make fun of <me I get vexed again, and so it goes. But I don't think you ought to have giien me these ; you were going to have new ones yourself." " Yea but I had a great deal rather you should have them. I have enjoyed the old ,ones more than I could the mew ones." " Well " said George "I do thank you, Henry, and I will try to do as you have done, and render good for evil" They parted •at George's door, and Henry ran home with a light' heart and told`aunt Mary the whole story. About two weeks after, George came to school in a new suit of Olothes, cap and all. "Ilow.well you look, George!" called out one of the big boys, as hUcame up. "Have you left the old clothes at the store. for rags?" • said another. "Don't laugh at him," said. Henry, in a low tone of voice;; " His mother is sink, and his= father.. is poor.

The Electric Telegraph in India. Never since its discovery has the electric telegraph played so important and darina a role as it now does in India. Without it the. Commander-in-Chief would lose the ef fect of half his force. It has served him better than his right arm. By it he is en abled to direct the march of his battalions, the movements of his artillery and cavalry, to receive news of their successes, to survey, as it were, at any one time, the whole position of his army and of its auxilaries, to commu nicate with the Governor-General and with his subordinate generals, to sift the truth from the falsehood of native information, to learn what posts are likely to be threatened, where the enemy are in force, to spare his staff and his messengers, and, yet to send messages with clearness and dispatch. So much for its importance. As to the daring action of the telegraph, which, includes,, of course, those who direct it, I need only ob serve hat in this war, for the first time, a telegraphic wire has been carried along un der fire, and through the midst of a hostile country. Peri passe, from post to post, it has moved on with our artillery, and scarcely has the Commander in-Chief established his headquarters at any spot where he intended to stay for a few days when the .post` and the wire were established "also. The tele graph was brought into communication with the Governor-General at Allahabad, with Outram at the Aluinbagh, with Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and the most remote dis tricts over which the system is distributed. It is mainly to the zeal, energy, and ability of a young officer of the Bengal 'Engineers, Lieutenant Patrick Stewart, that these ad vantages are due. He is assisted,it is true, by a few. men; but he it is 'who devises and superintends the execution and the extension of the line from place •to place. At one time, his men are chased for miles by the enemy's cavalry; at another time, they are attaeked by the &aware, and they . and the wires are cut to pieces; again, their electric batteries are smashed by-the fire of a gun, or their cart knocked to pieces by a round shot ; but still they work on—creep . over arid plains, across water courses, span rivers, and pierce jungles, till one after another the rade poles raise aloft their slender burden, and the quick needle vibrates with its silent tongue amid the thunder of the artillery. While Sir Colin' Campbell- was at Cawnpore be could learn from Sir James Outrank the results of an attack before the enemy, had disappeared from the field. As he advanced toward Luckriow, the line was carried with or soon after him ; a tent was = pitched • near his,- , a hole was dug in the ground and filled with water and down dropped the wire from the pole stack up in haste, dived into the •water otter-like, the simple' magnet was ar ranged, the 'battery set in play,, andat .once the sleet moved responsive to every' touch. Owing;to the extreme dryness of .the atmos phere and the power of the sun—which at this season "bakes the earth like a brick,< the insulation of the current.is' nearly' tomplete. The wire is thick, and is ' not protected by non-conducting=eoating of any kind; it is twistedcround , the of a rude pole,, fifteen or sixteen feet high, and, under ordinary states of the atmosphere ; - it is found to an swer perfectly. We hai , not been very long in the Dilkoosha ere W 8 saw..in per spective, the line Of 'pests advancing toward us and soon the wire was slipped into one of' the drawing room windows, and: now it is at,full-work, surrounded'by all the shattered `eplendor , of the palace, inquiring after the Ghoorkas, , asking for more of something or 'other; exchanging• ideas tbetween Sir , Colin and , Lord Canning, or. flurrying aleng a heirseaPer.,message to yourself; amid the whistle of the bullet, the roar of, theYOUnd -shot, - and all the feverish scenes of war.-- Special Correspondent of Times. • Nan Husks ,of Speech. lecture recently delivered in Exeter. nil]; Lonsim?; by the'lley.

If the does anything on his' own responsibility, he does it On his own "hook." If 'he' Sees anything remarkably good, he calls it 'a, "stunner," the superlative of which is a , "regular, stunner." If - a man is ,requested to pay tavern bill, he is asked 'if he will " stand' Sam ~If he meets a savage-look , ing dog, he calls him "an ,ugly customer."

He has no -hat e but shelters his head beneath a ",tile." He wears no neckcloth, but sur rounds his throat with a "choker." He , 1 lives nowhere, but there is some place where he "hanger out." He never goes , away or withdraws but he " bolts "—he "slopes '— he ism _ issies "--he 44 makes himself scarce" —he "walks his chalks "—he "makes tracks"—he "cuts his stick"—or, what is the same thing, he "outs his lucky !" The highest compliment you can. pay him is to tell. him that he is a "regular brick." He dces not profess 'to be brave, but he prides, himself on being ";plucky." Moneys is word-which he has forgotten, but he talks a good-deal about " tin,"and the " needful," "the rhino," and" the ready," When, a man speaks, he "spouts," and when he holds his peace he " shuts up "—when he is humiliated he is "taken dovnan peg or two," and made to "sing small!'

If you asked him which were his stars he would be " Bum marred." Therile swears " by George " " by the piper;" on select occasions he selects "the_ piper that played - before Moses.".
