Prof. Iealy, of Azynooth College, in a late number of the Jrish Leclesiasticul Record. We make the {ellowing extract frow it: - Amised marriage here means a marriage perween 2 Roman Cathiolic and a baptized person who is not a Roman Catholic. The difference of religion is, in this case, certain- Irnot & diriment, but only a brohivent, im- pediment; and the marriage is always valid, according to the unanimous opinion of theo- logians, .0 other impediment makes it in- wlid. Butsuch a marriage is strietly for- bidden by matural,”divine, and human or ccnon law. Itisforbidden by the ‘natural law on ac- eount of the danger to the faith and morals of the Catholic party, and of his or her off- spring, which generally exists in marriages , vithiskind. Kor there is danger lest the Catholic contracting party, either through tear, blandishment, threats, or violenee may ui e alluwed the free exers of the Cath- rrelizion, ar even Le seduced therefrom; udthere Is o dunger that the non-Catholic rent may insist on training up some or all i the otfspring in heresy.

First, by the execution of a deed at the time of the marriage, which is the most eflicacious way of procuring the desired result. For the pa- rent cannot afterwards in any circuinstances claim the right to educate his children as non-Catholics when by warringe deed he authorized them to be educated in the Cath- olic faith, On the other hand, the Ager-Ellis case conclusively proves the danger of trust- inu to a inere promise; which may afterwards either be broken or denied. ‘The second way in which the condition_can_be tulfilled is to give a written prom in the presence oft God, before two witnesses, for, although itis itlerral to administer an oath by private au- thority, it does not appear illegal to take one: hence this cap and ought to be com- Dplied with, when the deed is not executed.

IS DATLY OCCUPATIONS, APPEARANCE, AND DISTINGUISHING TRAITS. i New York World, M. Lonis Teste, the author of several in- teresting books on the men and politics of the Vatican, has just produced another no less interesting volume, **Léon XI1II, et le \: tican ¥ . (Paris: Ch, Forestier; New York: F. W. Christers). . Teste, long be- fore Cardinal Pecei’s elevationto the Papacy, had designated him as the most eligible of the candidates for the suceession to the ven- erable Pius L the Cardinal’s formidable claims had already been recognized by Antoneili, who kept him jealously away from Rome. = The exigencies of the time de- manded a skilled administrator, a man of moderation and firmness, and the two mem- bers of the Sacred .College in whom these qualifications were most con- spicuously apparent were Megr. Pecei and Mgr. Riariv-Sforza, Archbishop of Naples. The latter (whom Pius IX. used to call his *right hand®) was popularly re- garded as the “coming” Pontiff, but he had in his composition a vein of mysticism and obstinaey which M. Teste believed would cause the ealmer and wore supple Archbish- of Perugia to be preferred to him. Itis known that Cardinal Riario-Sforza, when the uld Pope predicted his elevation from the attention shown him by the members of the Papal Court, declared that his hope was to die ere Pius IX, passed away, and that'he would not take upon his shoulders, even if e fived and were elected, the affairs of the Holy Sce in the condition in which they would beleft. ‘Che Cardinal’s hope was re- alized,—he died before Pius IX,, and Mgr. Peeci proceeded to Rome to be recognized almost universally as the next wearer of the triple dindem. M. Teste tells usthat his con- fidenee in Mgr. Pecel’s elevation dated from Feb. 18, when he had a conversation with a distinguiseed nobleman thoroughly versed in the affairs and sentiment of the Papal Court, who deelared on his soul and couscience that the Archbishop of Perugia 3 L the prize.

At 9:30 Leo XIIL receives the Cardinal Secretary of State and the other officials of “importance aud such 0 as_are entitled - to special audiences. On Mondays—and sometimes on Thursday—gives public audiences, for which, however, he has no predilection, 2s they exhaust him and consume time. Heis especially averse.to making addresses on all occasions, though he recognizes the disap- pointment that this must often cause the delegations of pilgrims that arrive from all Dparts of the Catholic world. Things were different_under the reign of Pius IX., who, says M. Teste, conquered the affection of multitudes by his appreciation of e importance of little things—n word, a smile, a medal. There was always an en- thusiastic competition for his skull-caps, and the servants of the ante-chamber. throve famously on the sale of slippers, stockings, fragments of his clothing. Thereis a pleas- ant anecdote of one woman who presented: nerself to the old Pope for a private audi- euce at the close of along and wearying pub- lie reception. ~ She asked his blessing, it was given; confided her troubles and was con- soled; expressed her hopes and was encour~ aged, ** Holy Father—?2"* “Well,whatelse?” + Holy Father, I— “Well, go on, what is it?” “My husband begged that you would accept his photograph.”” " * I dos thank him for it * But—"" “Isn’f that all?” “T would like to take him home your Holi- ness’.” “Very well; here it is.” * But, 1lloly Father— “Oh, dear me; what?” * My husband wrote his name on the back of his pom'mtkzmd if your Holiness would—"" “"Therel have added my autograph. Is there anything else?” “If your Holiness would only give me the pen— “Take the pen, take the inkstand,—for heaven’s sake, mny good woman, do go!” and the Pope fuirly ran away. While Pius IX.’s buttons and other relics are still sold in_St. Peter’s, Leo XIIL will not allow one of his slippers, or stockings, or a_morsel of his clothing to be disposed of or begged as a relic, not a little to the regret of the unte-chamber. When he has leisure in his public audien is noticed that he devotes himself particularly to the humblest and most timid of his visitors, and on a recent oceasion he acted as guide to a delegation of ¥French jonrneyman printers, whom he showed -all'over his apartments, even to his bedroow, dismissing ench with a souvenir of the visit.

TOE WORLD’S END. ATTENMPT OF A BROOKLYN X TO POSIPONE THE CA- : SHIPTON VAN- The great International Exnibition of every- thing in general which is to be held at In- wood in 1883 has been termed, urally enough, the Next World’s Fair. Purists have objeeted to the phrase, ovlivious of Mother Shipton’s prophecy, and have maintained that it should be called the “World’s Next Fair. Like poultry that have their necks twirled fair, they object to thp order of pro- cedure. Mother Shipton. it may or may not be remembered, wrote— The world unto an end shall come In 1881 It is true that unworthy attempts have been made of late to discredit the old Iady, man- kind beginning to appreciate the necessity of doing something to avert the catastraphe she wrote so tersely abont. The responsibility for her assertion has been, so to speak, scatered. One writer declares that the distich i3 an unauthorized injection of modern ideas into a mass of ancient nonsense. Another (and his asserlion was repéated by a correspondent of the Herald last month) maintains that this particular couplet was taken from Piazza Smith's and Philo Istael’s interpretation of the hieroglyphics in the great gallery of the Pyramid. None of these attempts thus far have been successtul in breaking up the old Jady’s position as a prophetese. There was, « ot without profit.on ’er in her own coun- try,™” an edition of her sayings published in 1862, and the world, rejoicing 'in nineteen years of prospective safety, went on marry- iny, giving in marringe, aud insuring against fire, aceidents, and plate glass, with an utter and astounding disregard of the end so rap- idly approxching. It is now felt that some- thing must be done. It is certain that the world will not come to an end before 1881, and this isa proof that she was to that extent The well known theory of A n uno, falsus in_omnicus,” applied shows that she is entirely to be be- 4 man can arrive at correct con- even in an omnibus he should not complain.

GEORGE' JACOD HOLYOAKE'S IMPRESSIONS OF MR, BEECIER, BOBERT COLLYER, AND FELIX ADLER. unchester Co-operative News. . ." One Sunday morning I went over the water to hear him [Mr. Beecher] preach in his churen at Brooklyn. The chureh was very crowded, and when my friend who ac- companied me mentioned to oneof the of- ficers of the churen that I was a stranger from London and desirous of hearing the famous preacher, a convenient scat was found, or made, for me. . . , The dis- course was founded upon a text where Christ takes leave of llis discivles, promising to communicate with them oun another oc- casion fuller particulars of Ilfs mission. 1fis crucifixion following, a fuller communication was never made. Ience, argued the preacher, wi know not all that really was in the mind of Clirist. After wentioning two cardinal subjeets upon which Christ would have undoubtediy spoken had 1lis life been prolonged, the preacher came to the third. All afong he hud spoken in an undertone, low and elear, which penetrated to every part of the chapel, then breaking into his familiar loudness and finished emphasis of tone, and looking down to where aid, = The third subject npon whieh Christ woull have spoken, Toreseelng, as e must have done, the future needs_of society,—would have been cofperation.” I wa riled at the communication, 1 had heard that Mr. Begelier nad a quick eye 10 perceive and identify strangers tn his congregation, - e certai could not have known that I be ti: and it his introduetion of cobperation w coineidence, It was remarkables and if de- signed after becoming aware of my being there, it was & mas terpiece of faenlty of re- source. b he said » presed as an in- S ble piart oL narty , Whicn was de- tivered throughout with unerring, unhesi- ating precision. 1lis language, manner, and aetion were more finished than when I heard himinxeter Hallin the days of the Civil V 1lis preachivg is entively that of a :;vn:ll«-m:m L as well as an nd from W t of leetures of his delivered elsewhere, while 1 was in the States, L judge that his reputa- tion depended, notonly upon hisexcellence as ispe but upon the boldnessand origi der found more or less in every dress. ‘Therc are other preachers in Ameri- ca who preach with, perhay much brill- fance, but 1 Leard no one who speaks so fre- quently with such sustained newness of thought. \What he said upon eodperation, as a new element prowmising to instill more mor- ality into comm L life, showed a com- plete comprehension of its character. . . . The Rev. Dr. Robert Collyer, well regarded in England as in America, is of commanding stature, and has what in an Englishman is always to be admired—when found—confi- dence_ without arrogdnee. Dr. Bartol, in deseribing Dr. Chanuing, the famous Boston vreacher, stated his weight to be about a ‘hundred pounds. 1f oratory goes by weight Dr. Collyer holds no mean ramk., When Dr, Channing, the slender, gave out the line of the hynu ity of it Angel, roll that stone away. the congregution thought they heard it rumbling on its way. If Dr. Collyer gave out the line they would really have heard it move, there is such geniul authority in his voice. \When the deputation from a spacious chureh in New York came to Chicugo to invite Dr. Collyer to be their minister they had but one misgiving,— would his voice fill the ~1f that is all,” said the i shall do, for my voice is cramped in Chieago.” His voice would reach ac. £ John the Baptist spoke v pleasant power I do not wonder that the sert was crowded with hearers. Strong sense borne on a strong voice is rluential king. When weighty sense sets out on a weak voiee, it falls to the ground before it reaches half the hearers. At Dr. Collyer's chureh, in New York, [met the Poughkeen- sie Scer, Andrew Jackson Dav L never met a seer in the flesh before, and was surprised to find that as - pracefud, pleasant and human, I congratulated him on the advantage he had over afl of us in having s the secrets of two worlds ab his dis- oneofthe posal/ tobert Coltyer w few ministers who telt that it w his duty to protest azainst slavery, come what mizht, 1le told the Deacons of his congregation of his intent, who prayed him to recounsider it, as be would “burst wy the church.” Ife answered like an Anglo-American, “ Then it has got to burst.” 1le entered his pulpit in Chicago, and began his protesting sermon.

GARFIELD AS PREACHEL—TUE BRETI- REN PROPOSE TO ERECT A CHURCH IN WASHINGTON. o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. ‘BurLer UNIVERSITY, Ievisgroy, Ind., Feb. 1L—On page 17 of your issueof last Sunday Is an articlo with the abdve head- lines which, though in the main correct as to our religious principles, in some respects does Gen. Garfield and the * Disciples” such injustice that I am moved to ask a little of your valuable space to makea few correc- tions. 3 First, take the following: “It would be an impossibility to hold & mind like the Gen- eral’s down to the tenets of any sectarian theology.” This is true, but not in the sense in which the writer evidently intended it. The evident intent of that and simliar remarks in the article in question as to the General’s “liberality’” is to show that because he is “broad,” therefore he cannot be held “down to the temets” even of his own Church. This is a mistake, No man lives who is more loyal to his Church than Gen. Gar- field. But the reason he is not held “ down to the tenets of any sectarian theol- ogy,” is, that his Chureh in the * sectarian” stuseé has no * tenets.” The ground-work of the Disciples Churel is the New Testament, and each individual Disciple makes his own appeal to the laws of Christ, as presented by the Apostles, without the intervention of any authoritative human interpretation what- eyver, Ilenceit cowes to pass that the Dis- ciples are a unit on all great cardinal prin- ciples, sucht as the Fatherhood of God, the Divinity of Christ, the inspiration of the New Testament, the proper action, subject, and design of baptisi, the observance ot the Lord’s Supper, and the cqual rights of all ibeir members, These, with us, are funda- wental, and, as berore en. Garfield is as true to these as any liv On questions of opinion or expediency, however, the Disciples hold to the largest Jiberty, and insist thas_there shall be no dox- 1, where there i3_neither, in the New ment, “athus saith the Lord, n n olic precedent.”” At this point we get very broad and liberal,” peets” the writer in us “ the most narrow apos the nidme of being while in **many r question pronoii und uncompromising.” Unon this I remark that if to adhere to the fundimental doctrines or_ principles above stazed without wavs a direct appeal to Ch and wnuistalk commandments ing to these us of Divine cept the creeds e, * the mo: nwe plead ter or the s guilty as question beral”” or romising,” so far Disci- coucerned, seems not even yet t ovod by cither the religions orses ujar world. 1t may be ter ed thu ing for a re: neiples and practices authority, men,—is thi: to he, of narrow and uncompromising,’ e s but e wi . Gartield sciples are ple of Chr Aposties, so that there will be put one Chureh, which will be Christ’s, and but one creed, which will be His Divinely Inspired word. ey hold, therefore, that in matters of tith there st be wnity—in matters of opi: ion, liv £ they are ** narrow, Dbe beeause they. velieve Christ has been able w things, and did say them so imit of no second inter- e, it hip—hits 1 per he pleases, and that it is not within the pro ince of any man wishing to join 2 lodge or a “chureh, to first demand a setting aside of some of its mpst eardinal principles; and if they are * liberal,” it is because they hold that the Great Founder of Chiristianity left the thousand and one details of His chureh government to dapted to the surround- ings or necessities that mignt in the agoes Lut the Constitution never! Thatis d and must forever remain. Asto the * Unitarianism™ of Gen. Gar- field, or his Chureh, I will venture the opin- ion that it the writer under review unnder- stood our position on either *Unitarianism” or - 'Trinitarianism” he would never again__charme either Gen. Garfield or the ples - with leaning in gither direction. 'I'he Disciples do not find in the New Testament a warrant for either of these “isms,” and yet no Unitarian surpasses them in their belief in the humanity of Christ, and no Trinitarian surpasses them in their faith in the Divinity of Christ. Avoiding either extreme, it will be found, if ever the world or the Church cares to find, that ¢n this, as on other great cardinal points, the Disciples hold a iptural posi- ee {rom human dogmatism and specu- lation: -But thisopens & tield too broad for tie limits of & newspaper artiele, aud I must be conteat Lor the present to rest it here. Finally, is it nota little singular that so wmuch is said of Gen. Garfield’s religion, and that too, becau he is religious! Gther Presidents have come and gone who made no pretensions ta a religious belief, and whose morals were doubtful, if not positively bad and neiti:er the Chureh nor the world seemed to note anything about it. Dut the moment a man comes the front who is positively religious; who does in fact beiong to the Church; who observes with solemn and sacred reverenee his obliga- tions to his church; and who, at home or oad,—unid the burdensome responsibili- ongressman or the exciting scenes ‘of a Chicago Convention,—turns aside, seeks ver humble, and attends his own the moment, 1 sa such a man comes to the frout, it seews to be the drift and intent of those **writing up” his_relig- jous views to fritter them _away, as if they 1 3 mind, good v religious 11 is HY'S Our W not a religioni T 1 protest against all sueh ements, as wijust alike to our Presi- dent-eleet and the Chureh of which he was an honored member, long years before his name was mentioned in connection with the Presidency. 0.

The Quakers in England are not averse to the ordinance of baptism asa visible evi- dence of spiritual regeneration. A correspondent of the Examiner says that, outside of Baltimore, there is not a self- sustaining Baptist church in Maryland. The Madison Free Library is now open on Sunday. This is the result of a sermon re- cently preached by the Rev. IL L Simmons, pastor of the Unitarian Chureh. The report of the Independent Catholie Chureh for 1850, states thit durmg the year over 360 converts from the Roman Church were recerved into the Independent com- munion. The « lianee states that a deacon of a West Side chureh, who was retegated to pri- vate life a short time ago, is now -n:::\:_:e’d in a conspirzey Lo drive out the pastor. The i ould do a gond picce of work by Publishing the nameot the would-be imitator of the person who tried to break up heaven.

At the close of.ihe scrvices this evening, in the South Side Christian Church, corner ie avenue and Thirtieth street, the erdinance of baptism will be administered. The Christian, or Disciples Church hold that fumersion_only is_Christian baptis d that only the believing penitent is the D! ural subject of baptism, and it is their belief and practice respecting this ordinance that specially distinguishes them from many of the othér evangelical churches. "The number of new lady missionaries sent to Burmah since_the ofganization of the Woman’s Baptist Missionary societies, East and West in 1571, is thirty-one; and the socie- tics have assumed the support of eleven previously connected with the missions, in- cluding three married women. ‘The num- Der now in the ficld®s twenty-eight; sixteen labor. for the Burmen, ten for the Kurens, and one for the Shans, while twoare medlcal issionaries. Six wissionaries supported by the woman's societies are temporarily in the country. ‘The dissatisfied party in the Church of England has accepted —the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury to state what re- forms are -needed in the government and management of the Cliureh, The statement is u formidable one. 1t asks for the repeal of the Public-Worship Regulation act, the dismissal of Lord Penzance, and the declara- tion that all the acts done by him are void, 1t demands the abolition of Privy Council interference with the Chureh, and tne, re- moval from the Iouse of Lords of stipendiary Bishops. “Fhe mitre, Jike the measles,” it is said, tseems to run in families” in the Episcopal Church, For instance, thare were Iwo brothers Onderdonk, Bishops_respectively of New York and Penns; lv:‘x’nin. ‘They “yera succeeded by two brothers Potter, one of whom presides over the ecclesiastical terri- tory of New York. There were, until re- cently, two Bishops Wilmer, of Alabama and Louisiana, and two Bishops Burgess, of Maine and Illinois. And now the honor has fallen on two brothers Taddock to watch over the spiritual interests ot Episcopalians in Massachusetts and Washington Territory. Cannon Farrar declared in the conrse of a recent sermon in \V%tminster Abbey that “the name of priestiS noneso immaculate and none so beneficent in the world’s history as to make us regret that the New Tesiament knows nothing of any mere human priests, except among_ the Pagzans aud among the Jews. - Who ridiculed lsaiah? The insult- ing priests of Judah. Whosmote Jeremiah 2 The priest Pashur. Who threatened Amos? The priest Amaziah. Who would have torn Paulin pieces? The priests of Jerusalein. Who kitled St. James? The priest Annas, Who crucified Christ? The priests Annas and Caiaphas,—lawful priests, observe, and acting in spiritual tribunals.” Iu a suit entered in the Lake County, Ohio, court for the quieting of title to the hirt l_:md Temple, the plaintifts being the Reorganized Chuich of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints vs. The Mormon Church of Utah, the Court in delivering_judgmeunt said: *“*That the Church in Utali, the defendantof which, John Taylor, is President, has material largely departed from the taith, doctrines, aws, ordinances, and usages of said an-,:nm] Churen of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saiuts, and has incorporated 1nto its system of faith the doctrines f celestinl marriage and a and the doetrine of Adam- God worship, co! ry to the laws and con- stitution of said original Chureh.” Dr. ITolmes, in his North American article on “Pulpit and Pew,” reminds the reader sensationalism in the pulpit isnot.an ex- clusively modern fault. There wasa Rev. Josiah Dwight, minister of the ehureh in Wouodstock, Conn., a little less than 200 years azo, whose style of wit one_would not like to commend for imitation. Speaking of un- converted men, he said, that it they *““ever ot to Heaven they would feel as uneasyas a shad up the eroteh of o white oule.” Having heen formully admonished by his brethren onone oceasion, he is said to have taken their reproofs * with great meekness, frankly acknowledging his fault; 1 iendpent,” but, in praye: reternigs thanks for the brotherly visi admonition, hoped that they *“ might so hiteh their horses on earth that they should never kick in the stables of everlastinyg salvation.” METIODIST STATISTICS. ‘The Methodist Year Book for 1831 presents the leading statistics of Methodist bodies generally in this country, Canada, and En- gland.

Since then similar_schiouls have sprung up in different parts of the Union, till their number exceeds fitty. About 6,000 pupils are in atiendance, and about four hundred are graduated year- ly. For some years it wasa problem with their educators how they should be provided for spiritually after leaving school; for the ordinary methods applying to hearing ver- sons would be of no use to them. Mea while the nunber of graduates increas: They were without spiritual care. Provi- denfially, in 1850, the v. Thomas Gal- laudet, D. D.. undertook the formation of a Bible-class for deat mutes in the City of New York. His father was the founder of the lartford school, and he was thoroughly Tamiliar with sign language. This ciass in- creased in size rapidly. In 1852 St Ann’s Church for Deaf Mules sprany into exist~ ence as an outgrowth. It stands on West Lighteenth street, near Fitth avenue. Twen- later a socicty known as the Church Mission to Deaf Mut with Bishop Potter, of dent, and the Rev. Dr. Gallaudet as Ge Manager. The principal object of this so ety is to provide relizious services for the faduates. Eight clergvmen of the Prot- ant Episcopal Churchare engaged in min- istering_in sign language in different parts of the Union. Three of themn are deaf mutes, Their work is of an itinerary character ex- sively, and their respective fields are quite large. The Rev. A. W. Mann, of Cleveland, having been ordained by Bishop Beaell, of the diocesé, has been assigned to the Western field, embracing thirteen dioceses. He holds services at stated times in the prin- cipal cities. For some time past he has had ission in Chicagzo at St. James’ Church, In his large field there are about S,000 deaf mutes, of which number he reaches directly about 2, Inthe entire Union thereare about 30,/ = & PERSONALS. The Rev. II. M. Bacon, of Terre Haute, has accepted a call to one of the Presbyterian churches of Toledo. TPhe Rev. W. &. Leonard, of Brooklyn, has been elected Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Chureh, Washingtou. The Rev. Heber Newton, of New York, has twice declined a call to the Rectorship of St. John's Churel, Troy. . The Rev. Il Cantwell has accepted the pastoral charge of the Unmiversalist Church in. North Attleboro, Mass. ' The Rev. L. F. Fortney, of Alstead, X. I, has accepted a call to the Universalist Church of West Concord, Vt. The Rev. Jonathan Edwards, of Danville, Ky.. has peen called to the pastorate of the Seventh Presbyterian Chureh, Cincinnati. The physicians having preseribed a tem- porary rest for the Rev. J. L Stevens, as- sistant minister of St. James’ Church, in this city, be has taken a vacation, which will be speut in the South. In the death of the Rev. Dr. Washburn, of New York, the broad-church Episcopaiians lose one of their ablest and most honored leaders. ‘The most ewinent surviving broad churchmen on this side of the water are Bishop Clark of Rhode Island, the Rev. Phik lips Brooks of Boston, and the Rev. Dr. Har wood of New Haven. The first of a series of special lectures 4 be given this winter before the students of the General Theological Seminary, New York, will be delivered by the Rt.-Rev. Wilk iam E. McLaren, S. T. D., Bishop of Illinois, on the evenings of Feb. 15, 17, and 22, in Cal- vary Chapel, corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street. ‘The subject of the lect= ures is **Dogma and Doubt,” the first treat~ ing of “The Causesof Doubt.” the sccond The Son, the Spirit, and the Church,” tha m:rd"“cmhohc Dogma, the Basis of Cert e, . Bishop McLaren, recovered from his recent indisposition, has left for the East to fulfill this important engagement. The Churche man of New York, in announcing the lect- ures, says: ‘‘From the well-known ability and eloguence of the Bishop, they will un~ doubtedly attract the attention of the more zlllg;:\',';}l’t,(ul of our laymen, as well as of the SUNDAY VARIETIES. Be thankful that you are poor. You will not have the trouble of crawling from under a heavy monument on the rTesurrection morning. An eccentric but pious man has built & house on posts forty feet bigh in Plympton, Ore., in order that he “may live nearer Heaven.” An editor, the day after experiencing re- ligion, wrote: *‘Che storm last Wednesday causea great d—age in H—ertown, Pa. A man named G—dfrey was dangerously in- jured.”” 3 - A Texas clergyman, about to become Chap- Iain of a penitentiary, preached a farewell sermon to his congregation, who had ill- treated him, éxum the following text: *“I go to prepare a Pluce for you, so that where Iam ye may bealso.” A Galveston widow is about to marry her fifth husband. 1ler pastor rebuked her for contemplating matrimony so soon ag:\in. “Well, Ljust want vou to undersiand if the Lord kecbs on taking them I will, too,” was the spirited reply. The Rey. Mr. Shokey was preaching at Carson, Nev., on the swallowing of Jonahby awhale. 'There were some sporting men in the congregation, and their faces expressed doubt of the sfory. Seceing this, the minister said: - I'll bet $100, coin up, that [ can prove every word of it. Does anybody respond 2 Nobody answered, and he went on with his discourse. Clergymen, lthke other mortals, oceasionally find that they have chosen unaccommodating helpuates. One of these ladies mado a rather awkward mistake. Ier husband, having brought a brother clergyman home to dine with him, went into another apartment to speak to his spouse about the repast, when she attacked him and abused him for bring- ing a parcel of idle fellows to eat up their in- come. The husband, provoked al her havior,' said in a pretty loud tone: “1 were not for the stranger 1 would giv good drubbing.” “On,” cried the visitor, who overheard the remark, “I beg you will make no stranger of me.” A young man whose miind was wandering was placed by his friends in the eare of Dr. ——, of the town of —, in the State of New Jersey, in the hooe that he might, under his iulhcmus treatment, soon be restored to ieaith. e was, however, very discontented with the place and with the restraint on his movements that was felt to be needful; and the Doctor, more than once, in kind and friendly conversation, endeavored to make hiwm feel reconciled to his situation.. And as the young man was of a religious turn of mind, and a constant reader of his Bible, the Dogtor one day, when talking with him, said, *You ought to remember, my friend, that the Apostle has taught us that in whatsoever state we are we should therewith be .con- tent.” *Yes, ves,” replied the other; “I Lnow Paul suid’that; but then I don’t think Puaul ever was in the State of New Jersey.” CHURCH SERVICES.
