thought of them: '
""To guard his roof from the destructive
action of electricity, man erects tho lightning
rod, whose bristling points quietly drain the
clouds, or, failing to do this, receive the
charge and bear it harmlessly to the enrth.-r
But ages before Franklin pointed the first rod
to the storm, the merciful Parent of mankind
had surrounded the dwellings of his children
with a protection far more, effectual than this;

The hnbitual conviction of the presence of
God is'ther sovereign remedy in temptation; it
supports, it consoles, it calms us. Wo must
not be surprised that wo1 are tempted. ' We
are plnccd here, to be proved , by temptations.
Everything is temptation to us. Crosses ir
ritate our pride; and prosperity flatters; our
life is a continual warfare, bt.t Jesus Christ
combats with us.. We must let temptation
like a tempest, beat upon our beads, und still
move on; like a traveler surprised on tho way
py a siorm, wno wraps ins cloak about him,
and goes on bis journey in spite of tho op
posing Clements. , 1 T ,- -.,;'i', ....
In 11 certain sense, there is little to do in
doing the will pf God. Still it is true that it
ts a great work, because it must he' without
any reserve.' J Ins . spirit enters the secret
foldings, pf ,pur hearts, nnd even the most ulf-
right affections nnd, the most necessary at-
laeninems, must no regulated by his will; but
it is not the multitude of hard duties; it is not
constraint and contention, thnt advances ns
in our Christian course. On the contrary, it
is the yielding ol our wills, without restriction
and without choice, to trend cheerfully every
day in the path in which Providence leads us,
to seek nothing, to be discouraged hv nothing-
In trust all else without reserve lo t)i! will ol'
God. Let 11s pray to our heavenly Father
that our wills may be swallowed up ,ii) His.

While our opponents, have endeavored by

A Cniiois Case. A duughter cf a German
count and wife of a well known German arch
itect in New York, obtained a divorce from
her husband about a year ago, and now ap
plies to linvu the, decrco set nside, on tha
ground that it was fraudulently obtained, she
having 11.0 idea, nt, the time of asking for it.
of, tlio legal consequences of her action. It
appears troiu her statements and aludayits
that her husband hud repeatedly chtirged her
with infidelity; under such circumstances that
she believed, in common with mnny of her
friends,, that he, was insane upon the subject
She was advised, by the husband's lawyer,
wIki acted, as he said, according to the recom
mendation of the family physician, tb hnmPr
him so far in his hallucination ob to consent
tp a shum divorce. A paper was brought her
tu sign, and she fixed her name to it without
understanding what it. was : A little while
ago, however, alio learned that her husband
had married a New Jersey heiress; and then
.discovered fqv, the, first time, that the docu
ment she had signed was an application tcr
divorce,: on: the grcAmd of :her infidelity;, and
thut ..(he, .supremo (foui't ,pf ,iNew, ; York, had
granted a decree in accordance with her pe
tition. She has 'received "rior tmpport from
hor biisibhnd siiree tlie divoroe, and uo allovi-
