Among tho interesting feature;) of tlio forthcoming twenty-first session of tho National Association, which opens at Trenton, N. J.,'Saturday morning, Oc­tober 20, will lie the reading of four in­teresting essays, prepared especially for tho occasion, by Judge- J. W. F. White, of Pittsburgh, on the " Work of Preach­ers; ” Dr. W. R. Munroo, of Baltimoro, on “ Representative Local Preachers in Early Methodism, and their Labors in the Old Baltimoro Conferenco;” C. C. Leigh, of Brooklyn, on the “ District Conference,” and probably a supple­mental essay by the Secretary, W. H. Kincaid* on tho same subject. James l l ’Gee of Plainfield, N. J., hns been in­vited and is expected to read an essay —subject to lie reported. At tho close of the tending of each essay, brief time will lie given for general discussion.

Words of Wisdom.

I d k a s are pitiless. .Orkunauty challenges originality.Fiitsr, last, midst, and without end,

honor every truth With use. ’ . jI n s u l t s aro like counterfeit m oney ;

they may be oll'ored, but .you need not take them. •

T up. talent of success is nothing moro than doing what you can do'w ell, with­out a thought of fanio.

T he best way to get help in line world is to help yourself. Show that you need aid.and all will turn a Cold shoul­der; but prove that you can do without folks, and they will beg to give you a lift.

Som e men Uve more in ten years than others do in .fifty. Oiir lives nre meas­ured not: in cloek-licks, but by heart- throbs. The excitements of the times, the rush of events', and the activities of tho iniiiil, determine a man’s ago hroro than the roll of years.

W e arc ruined, not by wlint wo really want, but by what' we think wo do; therefore, never go abroad, in,search of. your wants; if they.be real wants, they will com e lionio in search o f you ; for lie that buys what lie does not want will soon want what ho cannot buy.

T h e r e is a Russian proverb w h ic h says that misfortune is next door to stu­pidity; and it . will generally ho found that men who are constantly lamenting tlieir ill luck nre only reaping tho con­sequences of their neglect, mismanage­ment, improvidence or want of applica- tion.— Samuel Smiles.

A void idleness, und till up all iho spaces o f thy timo wiili severe aud use­ful em ploym ent;' for lust easily creeps iu nt those om ptinesses wherb the soul is unem ployed and'thc body.is at enso; for no easy, healthful, idle person W as ever chaste if he could be tempted.- But of a l| eniplpyi\ien(8, l)Q(lily labor is tho m ost useful, and o f tho groatcst benefit for driving the devil.— Jeremy Taylor.

Seldom does God snvo a man except through human agency. Said of Tar­sus, that fierce and fiory persecutor, has liad a vision of Jesus and now, trembling and blind,.he is in the house of Judas of Damascus and “ behold h e pfayeth.” For aught we know, God eould at once have .pronounced the words “ receive thy sight.” Not such whs the. divine method,; but a man whacliosen to bring

: salvation to ft brother man. Thanks be to God that lie is willing to liavo his disciples share with him in the work of

. saving sinners that they, may thereby have stars in the crown of their rejoic­ing. Thon let tlio prayer, of each ono be, " Lord, what wilt thou lmve me to do?" and lot us try before we die to do a great work nnd not a small one.

It is individual work which tells. A great effort is made to move nioii by tlio mass; to bringmcn by tbo scores tolidw in penitence iind iu prayer. Let a sin­gle person'who is a Christian go to a single person who is a sinner seeking the light, and say, “ TlieLord hath sent mo.” Victory is not decided by two armies ,which firo heavy artillery nt long range. It is tbe 'personal conflict, whero.thero is the hand-to-hand fight and each soldier meets liis opposing sol­

d ier , which soon ends the struggle and gives victory to one side or the other. There must be. on the part of Christians more of this personal work done beforo

- tho millennium.will. come.How important was the mission of

Ananias! IIo went in confidence , to ; one who had dono much evil lo “ llie saints at Jerusalem," and lie spoke kindly to him. H e laid his hands 011

Saul, but they were not hands of vio.- lonco, but of blessing. H e . called him

■ “ Brother,”—Ob, what a voliimo is in that word?—and said, “ Tile Lord hath

'sent 1110 that thou mightcst receivo-thy sight and lie filled with tho Holy Ghost.”

■ Then he told Saul of li.is future mission to tell all men what ho liad seon and heard. Ananias was a kind-hearted,

; hopeful messenger to Saul. To bo sure ho had somo. doubt whether it would do any good logo to such a|nianasSaul;

■ .1 but this doubt, which was pardonable,I was banished by the divino command., • . Then he mado no delay, but I10 went

- with joy and diligence. Ho went at a ; critical moment in the life of Saul and

pointed him to that bright career which undor God, has influenced the destinies of tho world. One may marvel why Ananias was chosen. IIo wns not a leader in tlio early Church. Ho was not ono of tho twelve apostles, and

1 there is doubt whether.; ho was 0110 of iho seventy disciples. His life waa ob­scure, and it is not likely, therefore, that lio was a man of any great ability.IIo was, however, a “ devout” man,“ having a good report of all tho Jews ” of Damascus; a man whoso character and reputation wero both good. He

.was willing to hear and to obey tbe . '.';6oMryiand, and therefore l)o was chosen.

. An humble Christian is often.called to.: do the greatest -of works. An un­known shoemaker induced Mr. Gough;

’■ whoii lio wan friendless anil lyretched, toeign the-pledge; aiid an unknown 'preachor of tho Tijm itive Methodist.

• Church spoke Hint which led to tho con­version of Mr. Spurgeon. A child’s voico may utter that which will bring n

i Blunter4to tlio cross. Wo often forget

this great truth. Tiie man with the one talent did not make a.iy iiae of it be- causo it was only, one talent, and he received condemnation. Oh, if I had Wealth or eloquence how much good I would do 1” sighs many a Christian. Pause a moment,.desponding one, and answer this question : “ Are you doing what you can.do ?” , Live .near to God, and you will do much moro. than you now think yon can do. You may work through others; you may lead some soul from darkness into light.—The. Mclhodiat. .

: ' Hope. •

BY MAUMKE.

Hope is the brightest star that ilium- iualcs our fallen earth ; and na wo grope through the shadowy debris of our sin- stricken Iiabilation, a feeling o f unut­terable gratitude takes possession of tlie heart, that such ;a, divine constellation adorns the horizon of our existence, the radiating beams of which are ever light­ing up. t h e : midnight gloom of our pathway ; it is indeed truo that ‘-'Hope is necessary in overy condition pf life.” .When mercy and peace were banished from the garden of Eden—man’s para­dise— liQpo lingered; still, soothing the broken Spirits of. the forsaken pair. Elijah, in his fiery car, did not forget the influence of the charmer, but filing his mantle back'on earth, a sacred gift, or token that there is indeed “ a wreath for every .toil, a charm for every woe!”.

Yet there are times in lifo when the whole world seems like.a dreary abode of misery. As the mind’s eye scans the mystic veil of futurity, and peers into the unknown shadows beyond, it sees nb Oasis 011 tlie parched sandy desert, 011 which to rest the weary feet—no fount at which t6 quench the burning thirst,' 110 visible finger beckoning, us onward to clysiuni bowers.

The light of hopo seems to have in-' deed gone out. The. wenry. hands fold in silent despair. The white emotion­less face turns heavenward, and a wail conies forth from the aching heart, “My God, why. linst thou forsaken me ?” Ah, weary oiie, why did your'tompesl-tossed soul look .homeward? Wns there no hope in looking—no ray from that beau­tiful, star penetrating tho'stygian dark­ness of your, soul ? Ah, ■ cruel misfor­tune, you'.may. leave your scars iind wrinkles upon my facennd heart ! Your morning storms may .break upon iny .w.eary sou l; but heaven-born hope smi­ling down upoii tlie 8unsel of my oven- iiig, will leave tho lingering teal's like gems to glitter 011. the leaves.

Affliction.

Count each affliction, w hether ligh t o r grave, • God’s messenger te n t down to thee. iJo thou W ith courtesy receive h im i rise andbow j .

And ero his shadow puss th y threshold, crave Permission first hls hcavenly feet to lavp.

S a t a n haa no objections to persons going Vi little distance toward hoa.ven, if, he can bo assured that they; will return. On6 of tli0 greatest miafortunes;tp a place is a religious interest just, strong enough to get persona to riso for prayers without bringing them into true and loving relations with Christ. Somo of these may “ hold out,” bolding never­theless to a false hope, while most of them will £o back, liko neighbor Plia­ble to perish in the City of Destruction,

. Wealth Involves Danger. ■.It was as mueh as we eould do to

keep our feet upon’the splendid mosaic lloor of the Palace Giovanelli, at Ven­ice; ivC found no siieh .difficulty in the' cottage o f.th e poor glassblower in the rear. It is ona of the advantages of wealth to bave the abode polished till all comfort yariislies, and the very floor is smooth and dangerous as .ii: sheet, bf ice, or is this merely an nceidentnl cir­cumstance tj’picnl of. the dangers of abundance? Observation shows us that thero is a fascination in wealth which renders it extremely difficult for the possessors of it to maintain their equi­librium ; and this is more especially the case where money is suddenly acquired; then, unless grace prevent; pride, affec­tation, and other mean vices stupefy the brain with tlieir sickening fumes, and he who was respectable in poverty, be­comes despicable in prosperity. Pride may ltir.k uhder a threadbare cloak, but it prefera the comely brondclotli of tlie merciinnt’s cont ; moths will eat any of our garments, but they seem to fly. first to;the costly furs. It in so.much: easier for men to fall when walking on wealth's sea of glass,' because all ..men aid them to do so . ' . - ' . ' v

Flatterers haunt not cottages; the’ poor niay hear an honest word, from liis neighbor, but etiquette forbids that the rich man should enjoy the like privi­lege ; for it is not a maxim iii Babylon, that rich men have no faults, or only such as their money, liko .charity,cov- erctli with a mantle? What mnn can help Blipping when everybody is intent upon greasing his ways, so that the smallest chance of Standing may be de­nied-him ? Tho world’s proverb is, “ God help the poor, for Uio rich can help themselves;” .blit to our.mind, it is jiisli tho rich.-who liavem ost need of heaven’s help. DiVes in scarlet is worse (iff- than Lazarus in rngs, unless divjii.e love shall uphold hiiii.

Training in Manners.The training of maiiners', the disci­

pline of deportment, theold quaintcere- monials, tho restiniiits of silence, the decorums of polite society, courtseies and obeisances of the humbler classes, tbo deference'of the young towards the old,'the observanco.of children for their parents, thb severities of liome-rulc, the long practice and self-restraint neces­sary to success and full enjoyment even of the favorite recreation,—all imply training more or loss'lnborious ; a nev; er-relaxed vigilnnco in the teacher—'do­cility, patience, and self comnnind iii the learner. Our survey lends to the conclusion that at 110 time havo man­ners boon so left to form themselves as now. W o hear of people forgetting their manners, but some of our youth stand in danger of never learning.them. While so great a point, ia mado of thor­oughness.in all other learning; the mere A 15 Cgrounding of manners threatens to I10 left untaught. It seems supposed that, given so much intellectual culture, boys and girls, by tho mere process of growing old, turn into polite, eonsider- ato men and women. We do no believe it; ifr.liv arts and sciences are moro easily acqnirbd. lato ih life than a good manner. If people are to behave well, they must be early, taught to behave— a practice that demands uncensiiig sac­rifices Of minute personal liking lo the genernl-plohsurd'and convenience.

Growing Old.

It is tho solemn thought connected with middle lil'ci that life's lust business is begun in earliest': and it is tlien, mid­way. between1 the cnidlc anil tho grave, tluit a inan bogiiis to inaryel tliat ho let the days of youth go by so iialf-enjoyed. It-is tlio pensive, autumn feeling1 it'.'is the sensation of iialf siidness tliat wo ex­perience when tlio longest, day. i>f: tliiv year is oast, aiid every day tha i follows is shorter, and iho light, fainter, aud tlio' feebler shadows toll t'lnit nature is hast­ening with: gigantic .footsteps to her winter gravo. So does 1111111 look back upon' his youth, When tho flrst gray, hairs become visible, when the unwel­

come truth fastens itself upon the mind that a man is no longer going up hill, but down, and that the sun is always westering, he looks back on things be- liind. When w'e were children, we tlio'uglit aa children. But now there lies before us manhood, with its earnest work, and .then old age, anil: then the gravo, and tlien home; There is a sec­ond youth for man, bettor and holier than, his first, if ho will look onward and not look back. .

; :: .Ring the Alarm. ’•

■y'. ■ IIY HEV. E. STUIIlia. ■

“ You nre running the machine too hard,” said a dear brother to the writer, a few days ago. “ I fear you will wear yourself out by such incessant toils.” Reflect:ng upon the remark, I asked, “ Can I afford to withdraw from any part of my usual work ?” Blit iis I looked at- tlie .world’s peril, heaven’s ominous concern, the • brevity of time, laborers fow, iind many ill tho Church inactive,I answered, “ No-1” The throne of par­doning mercy is accessible' now, and now only. Sinners muat be saved to-day. The fountain of cleansing i'b open now, and now only. The bride of Jesus must wash her robes, to-day. She must be led 011 to holiness now. Oil for a thousand voices with which to call, and a thou­sand tongues with which to plead I Of tlie: Master, it was said, “ Tho zeal of thine house hath eaten 1110 lip.”

Going oiit' of Camden,.1 toward -Atlan­tic City, the passenger hears at each street crossing, the ringing of tho elec­tric nlarm bell. No pedestrian miiy bo near, but it rings. Often it may seem to ring in viiin. Still,it rings. No one bortiplains.of the: perpetual alarm. None suggests a tnodcrate or. occasional use of tho bells. -Life or limb may depend on its ringing now. It may ring a hun­dred times in- vain; blit should it fail on the'one hundred ; and first occasion, some home might be plunged in to mourning because a precious life was gone. Keep them ringing;

Tlio minister is God’s alarm bell. Let him.feel tho. cleetric curren t- of a divino impulse, and keep 011 ringing for hu­manity and for God.

Men are' sauntering listlessly to and fro, n s if God was a myth, life a dream, the sotil a vapor to dissipate at death, and judgment and eternal destiny, an­cient falsehoods or poetic fancies. Too many, even in a Church, nre "on the track”—in peril despito a Christian pror fession. God’s judgments come thun­dering down, upon tho heedless multi­tude. Brother, ring the alarm, keep ii sounding at every crossing. "Cry nloud, mid spare not, lift, up thy voico l iken trumpet.” . •

Bathing Bominisconces; .Your rof'orence some time ago, in an

article on .bathing, to tlio good resulting from a scouring by Band and salt water applied with ilannel — were you not chafing under some old recollection when you wrotothat?—reminded mo of the first time I over tried the luxury of a salt water biitli ut Ocean Grovo. We started out one night after supper when none wero near to watch our awkward proceedings; though not mariy people could have been found anywhere in the Grove at that comparatively early day and year.

Not daring to v.ontliro to a comforta­ble bathing depth, wo tumbled round at the edge of the breakers where the wa­ter: 1 , havo 110 doubt) was fully ankle deep. Wc had hard work oven there to maintain our equilibrium; although, wo ought t c .havo kept well balanced .witli such weights iif- sanil os were pre­cipitated over us by tlio gritty waves,

IIow.we Avcre covered with that awful gravel ! Don’t wc know now how ah unpainlcd floor feels under Biddy’s ap­plication of the scrubbing brush ? The linir was full of it, anil oven tightly closed lips did noj, keep tho month dem ­

os I realized at the littlo prayer-meeting in the stand that evening, whenever my teeth, cnpio-together; - : That reminds me how qiicerly idens nssoeinte themselves together, . often combining the ridiculous with the sub­lime; for. with the thoughts of gnashing my teeth on surf sand comes the. mem­ory of #lfred Cooknian, near whom I sat, and whoso saintly face wore n look of rapt devotion that night that took me nearer heaven than-all the rest of the services, aa sweet and spiritual as were those littlo.gatherings so long in advance of tho camp-nieeting season.

But to go back to that horrible surf—I tried hard to think I was ; enjoying myself while there, being an enthusias­tic lover of salt water ; but I couldn't help thinking of some of the New Eng­land resorts, where the waves of the.At­lantic Come to the shore in gentle rip­ples—like Old Orchard for instance—so

-softly, and. quietly that, a chiid might safely meet them.

And I thought if the breakers wfire so dreadful in water so shoal, what must they, lie out farther, where tho white crested waves looked- so overwhelming.

■ But the time came when I had cour­age to venture Out into deep water, and luxuriated in delicious sensations be­yond anything of the,kind before expe­rienced. I pover can think of thoso times without recaliing Mrs. Dr. Ward’s littlo tract, giving her experience in surf bathing;, and the precious lessons she was taught by it. •

It (snrf bathing) is a beautifully apt il­lustration to iiie ofChristian c.xperienco. Let ono go in where the hreakers aro beating on the shore, and no farther, and think of those Christians who are trying to. get enjoyment'from serving God at tho samo timo that they are holding 011 to the .world. Then let them cut lpose froni tiie shore and get out into the deep waters. •

Oh ’ what a revelation it w ill be . to them ofGOd’s fullness, of “.peace, liko a river,” nnd .righteousness ns tlie waves of the sen.” “ Great peace havo they that love Thy la\v, and nothing shall offend them,” aiid “ The peace o f God which pi’.-seth all understanding," itc.

How like the depths of the sea seem these passages to me I A. T. W.

Mercer, Me.

Help in Prayer. .Sir Matthew Hale, one of the most

flous jurists England ever had, in. his treatise 011 the knowledge of God, thus remarks “ A frequent, solemn, and se­rious use of tlio duty’ of prayer will iii-; temipt a custom .of siii, by. degrees weaken the old. man, iind will in time liiako a strangeness between oiir lusts' and our-souls.. Let a. maii lie sure of these two truths: that, iis he that conies upon his knees with a secret purpose to' hold confederacy with aiiy siii, shall be the worse, the more, hardened; and- the, moro neglected by that God tlmt searcli- tho heart ; so whosoever, ho be that' comes .to his Maker in the integrity of his. heart, though sin adhere as close to liis heart as the skin does to flesh, lie shall lind that employment will make those lusts that were most dear to him, by degrees to become strange and loose to ins siiul.” "

B kaiunu trOuhle.—There aro jiorsons who emerge from every utllicliou iind trouble and vexation, purified like fine gold from out of tho furnaco. There are Others—and they are moro numer­ous—who' aro embittered and soured, and mado despondent and apathetic. We think the latter belong to the class- that try to stand alone during the storms of life, instead of looking abovo for aid. •When one can truly sa y .“ Heddeth all tliiligB well, ” tho sting is taken out.of iillliction, and coitmge is given to hear wlint the future has iiv store.

T h e ,113th anniversary of old John street M. E. Church, New York City will tako place on Sabbath 27th inst. Arrangements liavo been made for a vory interesting day’s service.

T h e sketch we printed last week headed, “ A Joy Forever,” by Mrs. M. G. Fortcscuo, Germantown, Pa., has givon .very great satisfaction. Its sun­rise picturing displayed rare taslc and skill.

It is a question in theminds-of decent people visiting Freehold during Court term, whether law or. gospel has much effect'in these days to restrain the ovils which curse this land, n.a naturally re­sulting from the accursed traffic iii rum.

As t h e now Methodist Hymnal has been introduced in St.. Paul’s. Church, it may bo of interest lo tiie congregation to. know that thoy can procure copies at the Ocean Grove Book Store, below the catalogue prices, os wo aro now closing out stock. .

Tliat beautiful poem read by its au­thor, Dr. Clialtlc, of Long. Branch, at the Pennington Seminary Reunion, nt Ocean.Grove, Inst Sunimor, hns been published ill- pnmplilet form. Every old student will enjoy the. reading. Tlio doctor, besides being a gentleman and a scholar, is considerable of a pool too.

Miss H e l e n P o t t e h , the celebrated delineator of Shaksperenn characters spent last Sabbath witli her friend Miss Rice, at the Ccntonnial H o u s e t Ocean Grove.. She is just from Europe, where she spent the Summer in sight-seeing and study, and is n o w preparing for her

. Fall and Winter engagements in tho lecture field. • '-. 1' 1

I f any of our readers during the pres­ent senson liavo met with a better series o f letters in an any paper thnn those descriptive of the'“ White Mountains," furnished us by Dr. Stokes, wo would like to know the fact. The last ono, including an original poem of high ex­cellence, we think is worthy of all the commendation we hear bestowed upon it.

R e v . E. W ils o n , D. D. who came to Ocean Grove early in -the senson, re- mained Until last week, when' the fain ily returned to their home at Motlichen Tho doctor’s health, which was very feeble, is now so far restored that lie can preach occasionally, and does a largo amount of writing for the Appeal; the organ of tho Reformed Episcopal Church.

T h e Temperance Convention held at Long Branch Inst Tuesday, was, we learn, quite a spirited affair, and did its work in a sqnarcf nnd manly way, by nominating good prohibition candidates for county offices. That tho success of tho measures and mon-proposed would be for the best interests of all the people nobody will question, but..ruin, venality and tho general tone of morals in both Church and Slate, is yut too low for a consummation so devoutly to be wished.

Mr. C o f f in , pf the Asbury Park Jour- nut, is heard from I his week. The rather sweeping criticism we printed in last issue on his expressed opinions‘about Ocean Grovcmaiingemciildid not escape his wideawake attention. Instead howover, of rushing into tbe fray against a masked battery, lie wants our corres­pondent to “ step forward,” under his own proper name, which an “ Ocean Grover,” we. think, will bo quite ready to; do, having, as he believes the under hold in tlio tussle. For our own part, we boiiove tho controversy if protracted w illn ot amount iii its outcome to row of pins.”

A lovelier day it would be. difficult to imagine in. all respects than was Inst Sabbath at Ocean Grove. Another threatened storm, wliilo it devastated! tho. New England coast,-failed to roach our peaceful shore. The sky was cloud­less, the air balmy, and a stillness al­most heavenly in its sacredness rested upon tho sceno. - . . . . . . .

QCZELAJST Q-BOTB EBOOBD, OCTOBER .19, 1878. 3

Among tho Mountains.BY FERN liEAF.

Whilo others wero enjoying tliotn- aolvea, ftt tho city by tlio sea, dipping in old oceart and listening to tho roar of its waves, wo have been taking some recreation among tho mountains bf Sul­livan and Bradford counties, Pennsyl­vania.

Leaving tho heated city somo 250 miles bohind us, and stopping for tha Sabbath at Minnequa, wo wore met next morning by our good friend, GS----- , at Canton, tho first station belowtho Springs, from which we had a most delightful rido of fifteen miles over tho mountains and across the country.:

Having a good double team and an open wagon, (tha prevailing style for that section of country,) we were well fixed for enjoying tho rido, and viewing Uio country, and wo did both.

When part way up tho mountains we camo to a delicious spring, and wero in­formed by our friond that this waa ivliero wo would stop to lunch. So after hitching the horses, ho produced some bread and cheese and a tin cup, and you may be Bure there was very little loft, excepting tha cup, which we saved to use along the road.

Of all the Bprings from which we drank whilo away, tho one trickling, down the mountain side lingers in our memory as the sweetest and best.

Starting afresh, or at least refreshed, we emerged from tho woods and found oureelves at tho top. On looking back, wo could seo the beautiful valley boyond, a panorama of charming views that opened beforo ua, now diversified with forest and open country for miles in all directions, tho mountains making tho background for each of the pictures.

Traveling in this way for about thir­teen miles wo at Inst reached the “homo stretch-" and had our destination pointed out in tho distanco; but it was truly a long way round to roach thero. Wo did accomplish it however and found a •warm welcome awaiting us, as well as a good supper, for which we had'appe­tites befitting the occasion.. Our friend has a very, neat little homo,

and ono to which we became greatly at­tached. And tho fact that ho had cleared tho land, and built his houso (he being a carpenter by trade,) almost unaided, in no wiso diminished our admiration.

By tho expression “ cleared” wo do not mean cultivated, but to go into tho woods and cut down trees and under­brush, and get rid of obstructing stones. All of thia has to be dono in a now set­tlement and of course takes a long time to accomplish, many living in very small and inconvenient houses until thoy can build larger ones.

This is tho way tho country lias been settled and cultivated and to go about among tho different farmers, it soems almost incredible that but a few years ago whore wo now seo theso farms and dwellings, wero tho haunts of the elk, pantliorand wildcat, ovan now the lat­ter is occasionally found there, as well as tho " fretful porcupine." Trout aro quite plenty in that locality also, wo had tho pleasure of catihgsomo of these without Uio fatigue of fishing.

In this region wo missed tlio. letter- carrier, the mail only arrived twice a week, as wo wero three miles from tho noarost Tost Oilico, as might ho sup­posed, it was a great satisfaction ono morning to receive six lettera, one pos­tal and five papers, much to the aston- ishmont of all beholders.

Notwithstanding the good singing you frequently havo at yoi’r various services at Ocean Grovo, wo aro' free to say that what wo heard when among tho moun­tains, from tho numerous foathered songsters, greatly excelled in both qual­ity and quantity. Noyor have we heard anything liko it beforo, continuing from morning till, night, with scarcely any intermission, and oh, how we did onjoy it I Wo could but think of tho great Creator, whon all thoso littlo throats were swelling with Hia praises, end thank Him for tho many blessings that ho is daily showering upon us. • .

Of. tho m any things that wo onjoyed in this altitude, one was to watch tho early morning dow aa it rose from tho mountains, gradually lifting- until wo could distinguish tho tops, or following with our oycs tho shadows of tho clouds as they passed over us, and bringing distant objects noar by tho aid of a powerful gloss.

(To be continual.)

Tlie call for “ moro light" along our streets has resulted in our having moro than Main avenuo well lighted. Wo hope the authorities will not weary in wall doipg, and by tho timo tlie moon goes to light anothor portion of this ter­restrial ball, decide that expense* must be curtailed. Wo aro quito willing to help pay for thorn.

Tlio new firm of builders, liandolph■ & Vanfleot aro among our most reliablo mechanics. They work woll and cheap.

Main Street, Asbury Park, presents an appearance by gaslight as brilliant as Brontl'vay or Chestnut St.

Steinbach Brother? display consum­mate taste in tho arrangement of their show windows, and thomanner in which everything inside their elegant sales­room is kept “ship-shape.”

Treat’s grocery store is still a favorite resort for people in Park and Grovo. There is a reason for this. The propri­etor is a man of indomitable energy, unfailing courtesy, and the highest rec- titudo in business affairs. He was for­merly a popular Methodist preacher.

Thoso elegant new patterns in parlor stoves at Borden's attract ’ft good deal of attention. Tho boys are always obliging in tho matter of adjusting stove­pipe, and doing all tlieir work credita­bly.

If less tobacco was needed along the “ Row,” Mrs. Bowie's business would be more than doubled. No wonder she wishes tho people would givo up cigars and take to those rich and delectable sweetmeats she so temptingly displays.

At ihe “ Original Store,” Githens’ great house furnishing emporium, car­penters and builders are always sura of finding what they need, as well as the ladies who are interested in haying their, cottage homes made comfortable for the winter. - '.' - .

Wortman prides himself, and his. customers say it is no idle boast, that goods in his department aro always as fresh and cheap ns thoy can be purchas ed in the city.

Strangers are always compelled to linger a littlo as thoy pass Hathaway’s immense emporium, to admire such a stock of goods iis'he keeps on hand. Largo as the place may grow, this en­terprising 'misrchant is determined to keep up with the demands of the times.

It is a beautifully arranged and printed miniature pamphlet of 32■ pages, con­taining a sketch of tlio “ I’iist and Fu­ture” of tho MethoiHut, lucid instructions to agents, largo inducements in the way of book, premiums for subscriber, sum­maries of statistical and postal informa­tion, and figures aiid facts of great value in relation to the affairs of tho Church.

The following verses, beautiful in their touching simplicity, wo quote in con­nection with the announcement o f tha1 death .of Eva M., daugh ter of Geo. W. arid A. M. Truax, - aged 6 years and 4 months; which occurred Sep, 17, -and Bessie,, infant daughter of Geo, W. and Minnie M. Rogers, Sep. 12. aged 7 months and 13 days, both of Asbury Park:

Ifoldcd the little hands,Closed tlio b rig h t eyes,

Ucvcr to ore to open Except in tho s ties.

Scaled tho onco rosy lips In morning’s glow,

Hushed tho Bwcct voico.Forever below.

Silent tho pattering feet Forever on tho earth,

Vacant tho little chair Blands by the hearth.

Useless tho playthings, .Em pty tiio bed,

Where nightly waa pillowed A golden head.

Yonder In the church-yard A. little mound,

Angela aro watching o'er The hallowed ground.

M ournfully the willow Bends o’e r her head—

Sad are the loving h e a rts ;Our baby Is dead.

Gone from tho hearthatono,Tho ligh t of yore;

; In tho mansion abovoOno angel more. 1

A Child’s Victory Oyer Death.Deah B ro. W allace:—It is a fact

that children at an corly age may know thoir sinB forgiyen and their acceptance with Pod through our Lord Jesus Christ; The following I ca vouch for, being a nicco (a beloved sister’s child): The mother writes as follows:

“ Our Effle departed this lifo on Wed­nesday morning, Sept.. 25th, 1878, after an illness of nine weeks with pneumo­nia, Her age was 12 years and S months. She embraced religion ft year ago at camp-meeting, and though,but a chiid, she tried to hve a Christian, and died leaving a bright evidence that siie has gone io a better world. She told me several weeks ago that Bhe did not ex­pect, nor had any desire to get well, but said we should not weep for sho was not afraid to die. Sho tola inci where -to bury her iind who should preach the funeral serraon. On Monday ahe called Us ail around her bed nnd bid us good- by and gaid, ‘ I want you all to meet mo iii heaven. I don’t expect to be here over night. I hope to awake in a bettor land.' In the avcning she ex­horted her father to live better and pre­pare to meet her in heaven. Slip then repeated, ‘ Though' I walk through tho valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil.’ On .Tuesday'evening she said, '-Mother, don’t forget m e,1 and when you do think of mo don’t forgot that I am in heaven.’ Sho then raised her feeble hands, and clapping them, aaid,‘ Glory! gfory I glory I don't cry, moth­er, I an isa happy,’ iind turning to her grandmother; who was near,said, 'Good- by, grandmother, I guess you will soon follow me.' Sho said the angels would come and »ho would soon be ono with them, with many other such precious thoughts, s#sd thus sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, thaoks he unto God who givcth us the victory.” A. M. B.

Improvements.'One of the finest and most imposing

cottages adorning our sea front, is about to be erecfcd on Ocean avenue, occupy­ing the entire Bpaco between Webb and Embury fo: Dr. H. H. Muhlenberg, of Reading, Pa.- T. W. Lillagoro haa drawn the plans, and will-execute the work : The foundation was laid tho present week. Tho architectural style will be a combination o f the Elizaboth- ian, Tudor and Gothio, 32 feet front on Ocean avenue by 30 feet deep, with porches 8 feot wide, and a handsome tower on corner. The builder intends this to be, in excellence of material iind attractiveness o f appearance, ono of tho most beautiful homgs at the sea side.
