in few days. In Boston also they have commence
ed operations, that there is every appearance that
the whole force of the Tyler party, scattered
throughout the country like valuable builders over
an immense surface, may yet unite their power and
influence and give us something to back our faith
in Captain Tyler's reelection It is very true that
if all the symptoms to be in the horizon were
collected together and added up, the principles
of the rule of addition, they would hardly amount
in value to electoral vote. But we have great
faith. We put our trust in Captain Tyler's luck
Nothing can shake it. He has been made every
thing that he is by good luck. There is something
in his name ever full of promise and hope-the
name of his illustrous predecessor Watt Tyler OF
democratic memory in England and IT he do not
be reelected, then indeed shall be greatly mis-
taken IN the omnipotence of that luck which has
hitherto attended him.
| AS this movement now stands it Is one OF the
most curious, bizarre, odd, entertaining that ever
took place in this country. 1t will produce prodi-
gious commissions in the Van Buren, party, laughter
IN the Clay ranks, and make the faces of the hber-
ty men one inch longer than they have ever yet
been stretched.
| The BIBLE SOCIETY AND THEIR PRINTER.-A very
amusing fracas has just occurred between the Bible
Society and Fanshaw, their printer. II seems that
the Society entered into contract with Fanshaw
| to do their work for six years, at certain rates,
commencing May 1888, with proviso for a four
years renewal if the parties agreed. All went on
very well till few months ago, when the former
partner of the Societys Depository offered to do
the Diamond Bible at little more than half its
worth This at once put bee into the bonnet OF
the worthy and pious directors, and they notified
brother Fanshaw that he was no longer wanted.
Against this Fanshaw has issued very strong re-
monstrance, which is good deal of curiosity in
its way, developing in an amusing manner the way
in which the holy men of the Bible Society trans
act the business of this carnal world. Here are
some interesting passages:-
PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.
From the proceedings Of the board perceive that the
doctrine of the bible Of doing to others &C., was entire

PHARAoHs TWO DREAMS.
So strongly had 1t been for years impressed my mind
and often spoken Of by different persons connected
with the Bible and Tract Societies. that the decision OF
your hoard did not convince me that was not entitled to

pation of the first eight years after the date of the nstru

DANIEL FANsHAw's LONG DREAM.
My contract first speaks of six years. because during
that period ran down to the minimum price, and then OF
your having the liberty Of holding four years longer
at said price But the idea Of my not being entitled to the
nstice specified days notice after the first six
years expires Of your committee airms and yet
that am bound for ten years is to my simple mind SO per-
fecy preposterous tfe am really bewdered and seem
to feel il had spenmore than halt century in this

THE cHANcELLoR's OPINION AS TO THE CLERGY.
After examining the contract he said that should have
called on him to draw up the instrument told him J

and if he had moneyed transaction with his own minis

and wound off with saying. he was sorry to inform mt
that the loose manner in which had drawn the nstru'

WHY DANIEL COMPLAINS.
And now, Gentlemen, have to say that am he,rti!
sorry that under the necessity ef treohliaa
you with long story but have been led to by the
advice of some Of your directors and several warm
friends of the Bible cause, who think have not been fair
ly dealt with.
WHAT DANIEL OFFERS To Do
therefore wish the Board to decide upon one of the
three following propositions viz -
Let it be decided by referees, according to agree
ment
Give years notice from the LIST of May next OF
3 Decide it by civil suit at law
The anxiety of Daniel to retain the office oil
printer to the Society is very natural. Daniel ha,
made large fortune by his connexon with the
edible cause'' But the Society find that they can
get the work done for $4,000 or $4,000 less thai
Brother Daniel GETS and as they justly conside,
that that sum, if saved, would enable them to ex
tend considerably the sphere of their influence, they
have given Daniel notice TO quit. But he won't
give up the spoils easily and hence his pious re-
monstrance. Yet Daniel ought not to complain.
He has got large slice, and ought IN all conscience
to allow some one of the young saints to step il
and get some of the pickings Daniel has large
balance in this world and doubtless also in the mex,
it cannot be otherwise when, as he says, he "has
logged on harmoniously with the Bible Society 70,
twenty-five years. He is quite safe in this world
and the next Why not then, allow young saint
to get chance of saving hs soul and body? Think
of this, Daniel.
