Christ as offered in the Gospel message, and
some receive him not. He came unto his
own, and his own received him not. Yet
some received him; • and as many as re
ceived him, to them gave he•power to be
come the eon's of tiod.--John i ::11-13.
Evert' so it is'now •, some believe, and some
believe not. 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. Christ, is to be
lieve on him ; for as many as received •him,
to them ,gave he povier to hecome the eons of

faith, and- the -reasonwhy somebelieve while

Faith is an effect; 'Ms both fruit, ind an

in fernier letters, when the mind is ravingly

Effect of , Newapa►er"Reading on Muea•
tion.
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

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. It

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

passage The poink to which I have 'next to
direct attention , is :manliness . in. speech.
There are' many young men who seem to
consider it essential to manliness that they
should he 'Masters of slang. The - sporting
i world, lik6 its brother, the swell mob,. has a
language of its own • but this dog-English
extends far beyond the Sporting -'world. It
:corneas:with its hordes 'of `barbarous words,
threatening the entire
,extinction of genuine
English:!;Now' just, listenlor a moment to
our fast youngmen, or the ape of a fast young
. man, who thinks,that tohe a man, he must
speak in the dark phraseology of slang. 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."
If he meets an eccentric man, he calls
,him
'a;" rummy old cove." `A 'Sensible mane is a
"chap that is up 'to snuff." A man not
,remarkable for good sense is a " cake "
a " flat "—a " spoon "—a " stick "—" his
mother does not know he is out." Kdoubt
ful assertion - is to' be " told-to the marines."
. An incredible statement: is ' all gammon."
Ottryd'aug friend never scold, but "blows
up"—never pays; but' "stumps up "—never
'finds it difficult to payihritris," hard.up "--
never feels fatigued, but is "used-up." 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!' 'He calls his
"paws," his legt "pins." To he
perplexed, is to be "flammaxed "—to be
diSappointed, is to he " dished "—to be
cheated, is to :be - " sold "—to be cheated
clear ly, is to-be "done brown." Whatsoever
is fine, is 44 nobby,"- - --whatsoever is shabby,
is " seedy,"—whatsoever is pleasant, is
"jolly." ,-He, "Blessed if he does this,"
" blowed if he does that," " hanged" if he
does the other thing; or he exclaims " My

which were his stars he would be " Bum

" by the piper;" on select occasions he selects
"the_ piper that played - before Moses.".
