Agent, Cincinnati, O., Died, at the home of his son, in Louisville, Ky., July 30th, Charles R. Phole, aged 77 years and three mouths. He was, one of the early settlers; of Hope, coming here from North Carolina in 1836, and remaining here until his wife died a- few years ago, when be took up his abode in Louisville. la early life he was a licenced preacher in the Moravian church, and early in the forties established missions in some of our northern counties that had but recently opened to settlement, and then known as the “IndianReserve.” The remains were brought here last Sunday and interred in the Moravian cemetery. Mr. Moyer, the live contractor and builder of Columbus,, came up yesterday morning and benight a carbad of brick.

THE WAY TO SUCCESS. €iro Yourself Without Reserve to Tour WorV for God. The late Charles Dickens said of the principle upon which the work of his life had been conducted: “Whatever 1have tried to do in. my life, I have tried with all my heart to do well. What I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to.completely. Never to put one hand to anything on which I would not throw my whole self, and never to affect depreciation of my work, whatever it was, I find now to have been golden rules.” lu this purpose and in his rigid adherence to it, Mr. Dickens pursued the wise and prudent course. It led him to success. It was success in a worldly point of view, but it secured the object for which he labored. The wisdom of his choice of the supreme end of life is not now under consideration. That involves a very different question. But in the purpose and method with which he pursued the end which he had chosen he manifested the highest wisdom. In this regard the men of this world are an example to the church, and especially to the young. “The children of this world are in their generation wiserthan the children of light.” They are not wiser in the choice of the great endof life, but they are wiser and more consistent in the manner in which they pursue it. They seek seme formi of temporal good, with earnestness and singleness of purpose, while- the follower of Christ in his pursuit of the pearlof great price is often irresolute and half hearted. The words of the great novelist contain a lesson of great importance to all classes, but especially to the young. They point out the road to success. It is true that there are other conditions of success in any pursuit. There is na success that is to- be desired that is independent of the divine favor. Real success, in a large measure, comes only ofthe favoring providence of God. But where this is enjoyed it somes only of earnest and single hearted application to labor. The men who succeed either in. business or in the professions are-ablo to say, with Mr. Dickens,. “What I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely.” Their intenost has not been divided. With earnestness and singleness of purpose they have given, themselves to theobjectoFtheir pursuit. The lesson of this subject, then, is too. plain to need, explanation. If you would succeed, give yourself without reserve to the object which you have made the supreme end of life. If you would be a. happy and useful disciple of Christ, be in earnest in your religions life- and work. Let your separation from the world be without reserve, and in your work for Christ leave no one in doubt of your eamcsrness or-sincerity. Act upon this principle, and whatever you may secure of the good things of this world your life will be, in the best possible sense, a success,—National Presbyterian,. Morals. Not upon mind, but upon morals, is human welfare founded. The true subjective history of man is the history, not of his thought, but of Iris conscience; the true objective-history of man is not that of inventions, but of his vices and virtues. So far frommorals depending upon thought, thought, I believe, depends upon morals. In proportion, as a nation isrighteous, in proportion-as common justice is done between.man and man, will thought grow rapidly, securely, triumphantly; will its discoveries be cheerfully accepted and faithfully obeyed to the welfare of the whole common weal. But where a nation is corrupt—that is, wherethe majority of individuals in it are bad, and justice is not done bstweenmau and. man, their thoughts wither and science will be either crushed by. frivolity and sensuality, or abused to the ends of tyranny, ambition, profligacy, till she herself perishes amid the general ruin of all good things,, as she has done in* Greece,, in Rome, in Spain, in China and. many other lauds.—C, W. Kingsley. The Force of Kindness.. Oh, that we might in our families and in our churches try the force of kindness! You can never drive men, women or children into the- kingdom of God, A March northeaster will bring out more honeysuckles than fretfulness and scolding-will ever bring out Christian graces. I wish that in all our religions work we might ho saturated with the spirit of kindness. Missing that, wemiss a great deal of usefulness. Thereis no need, of coming out before men and. thnndoring to them the law, unless at the same time yon preach to them, the Gospel.—Dr. Talmage in Christian, Herald., The Spirit of Devotion* When the spirit of devotion comes over him and touches man’s deepest heart, he feels the greatness of man, but the littleness of his own achievementhow,little when measured by that vast, capability he feels and knows! His ideal rises higher than over, but for that reason is never clearly seen. His valley of humiliation seems lower yet, measured by the stars. He sees the fact of his life, how unlike that Meal! He is a dwarf stunted of his proper growth. He rises in fancy up to this ideal. For the moment he becomes it, and is -what heshould be. This moment is the idealization of his life- He sees himself, not as be seems, not as yon see him, bnt as he really is in his nature. He resolves to fee what God made him to be, and for one moment he is the complete man.— Theodore Bar kef.
