HONESTY IN TIMES OP SCARCITY —" Tho
world movoe," undoubtedly. Bui the move-ment
sometimos seems to take a backward
direction. Has it not done HO, einte the
war began? Is there,among our people,
no abated sense of right in matters of finan-cial
gain? Compare what is represented
as occurring daily, on every band, with a
case put by Cicero when laying down rules
of honesty between man and man, and cited
with approval by an eminent divine a hun-dred
years ago.. "Aotistbenes brings a
shipload of corn to Rhodes, at a time of
great scarcity. The Khodians flock a brut
him to buy. He knows that fire other ships
laden with com will be there to-morrow.—
Ought he to tell the Hhudians this, before
he sells his own corn ? 'Undoubtedly ho
ought,' says the heathen: 'Otherwise he
makes a gain of their ignorance, and so is
no better than a thief or a robber.' " What,
thon, shall we say of those who hoard arii
cles "f prime necessity or keep them back I
from marke", to create a factitious scarcity.
and make a gain of their own -rts ol dpoep* ■
tion and the necessities of tho puhlic?—
Would not Cicero class them wiib thieves
and rubbers of the worst and mostiofamoafl
type? And would the classification beat'
just? We see not a shadow of Injustice!

he said, "it was customaiy to give the mar-ried

And her skin so lily wnite,
Lips and cheeks of rosy light *
Tell you what,

Ah, she is our darling !
And to me.
All her little wsys are witty.
When she slrgs her little duty.
Every word is just as pretty
As can be.
Not another in the eily
Sweet as the.
Too don't think so« Yon ne'er saw her I
Wish you could
S-e her with her playthings ctettering.
Hear her little tongue a chattering.
Little dancing feet come pattering!
Think you would
Love her just as wrll as I do,
If you should.
Every grandma's only darling,
I suppose.
In as swret nnj bright a blossom,
Is a treasure to her bo-om.
And as cheering and endearing
Ai my rose.

The Husband * Testimony
B.3 had almost persuaded himself to be
an infidel. Ho did not believe in religion.
He scoffed at the church, at church-mem,
hers, at ministers—"They are all hypo-crites,"
he said, "actuated by selfish mo«
tives; the best of thorn are trying to de-ceive
themselves und others, but they can.
not deceive me. 1 understand them."
Ho could m.t, however, quite lc: go his
belief in the Bible. He had read it, long
years before, at a OIOUH mother's side, and
for her sake he had still lomo reveronoe
tor its teaching. But Satan wus luring
him to hell with the samo old story by
which so many liuvo been led to perditioa
—'.he faults of professors of religion.
Ho had a wife some years younger than
himself, to whom he was dovotedly st-inched.
She was gay and exceedingly fed
<I fushioiiaMo amusements—to the neglv t,
often, of tho mmfort of her family. For
muny years she, as well as her husbaud,
had hardly entered a house of worship.
By a series of circumstances not neces-sary
ii relate, she at length became a Con-stant
attendant at the sanctuary. With
characteristic energy she entered into the
various enterprises of the church, and
proved herself a valuable acces«ion to tha
congregation. .
Her pastor, who thought he could see in
her a growing seriousness, called one day
to converse with heron the subject of per.
sonal religion. "l)o vou never feel a oe>
ere lo become u child ol God 7" said he.
Her reply was, "1 understand the rules of
your church forbid your members dancin
aud card-playing, and 1 am too fond 0
such amusemciits to givo them up for the
privilege of church-memhorship."
As her pastor continued to urge upon
her tie necessity of a chango of heart and
an interest in Chi ist, *ho at length admit-ted
that she did fe» i an interest, sometimes
a very painful anxiety, on the subject of
her soul's eternal welfare. . But she was
not ready to 'givo up all and follow Christ,'
and she added, she nevor could bo satisfied
to live a "hail-way Christian" life.
Alter praying with her, and for her, that
sbo might not "grieve the Holy Spirit," be
left her, with many fears lest tho allure*
men'ts of the world should lead her away
from the Saviour who was seeking admisi
sion to her heart. /
Months passed, and her pastor, though
he refrained from urging the matter upon
her, was ratisfied that her interest in tbe
sahjeot still continued; and many prayers
were offered for her, by those who felt how
exceedingly critical was her state.
At length she one day surprised her
minister by sending an urgent request for
him to visit her tor tbe purpose of religious
conversation. Ho immediately answered
her call, and was astonished at the change
in herfoelings. She bad already given her
heart to Chris'!
He found her very dreided in her now
life; and as he anked her, "Aro yon NOW
willing to give up AM. lor Christ—too
worldly amusements of which you have
been so foml '!" She burst into tears, and
replied, "It is no cross NOW to give them
all up; it is a pleasure, a privilege I hav«
no desire ever again lo engage in them—
they have almost ruined my soul."
Aft.-r a few months hud pussed, every
day of which give prool of the reality of
tho change she ha I experienced, sho, with
the full and free consent of her husband
made a public pi obrsion of her faith ia
Christ,
Some lime after she had united with tbe
church, her hu»baiid met her pastor, and ot
his own accord introduced the subject of
theenangH in bis wile's religious views.—
With deep emotion he i-md, "I believe in
religion now—such religion as my wife has.
She nevor neglects her famiiy since sbs
joined the church ; and I know she goes off
by herself and prS] ■ every evening, though
sho does not-su-pect that I know it. Yes
I do believe in religion now."
What a testimony to the consistency of a
wife's condu.t! And what an evidence in
fav r of thtj religion of Christ!
Already that wilo sees the result of her
prayers. fl>-r husband regularly accom-panies
her to the place of worship, attends
prayerimeetinfrs with her takes a great in-terest
in the Sabbath-Hchool, and manifests
as much anxiety for the welfare of the
fhnrch as any memb >r of it. And there
is reason to dope ih it his heart is truly
wrought upon by lbs ir<ly Spirit.
Christian wives, who have careless,
prayerless, unbelieving hnxbands, here is
encouragement l'/r you. Bo faithful and
consistent in your Christian life. "For
what knowest thou, O wife whether thou
shalt save thy bosbsnd f"
The casualties ol this world come on like
waves, one succcding tho other. VV e may
escape the heavy roll of tho mighty ocean,
and bo wwked in the still smooth waters

htorm and tne hurricane, and forgot bow
many have perished in sight of shore.
