A CLERGYMAN IN TRoUBLE.-Some
time ago, the Rev. Alfred Hewlett, of
Ashley, England. by way of inducing his
congregation to become tota! ablsainers,
publicly proclaimed from the pulpit that
he would marry tee -totalers, ,christen their
children, and inter their dead, free Of
charge. Influenced by this declaration
the orator being a widower. in the prime
of life, demure spinster, about his own
age. who had for many months vainly es-
sayed to become the second Mrs. b., gave
in her adherance. to the total abstinance
principle, and then claimed of the aston
ished rector fulflment of his promise
to marry her!i The result has not YET
transpired, but as she threatens loudly
and has one brother at Doctors Com
mons, and another in the Horse Guards
it is presumed she will gain her ends.

WISE WoRDs FROM JOHN WEsLEY.--
We may die without the knowledge Of
many truths, and be carried to Abra-
hams bosom; but if we die without love,
what will knowledge avail usl Just as
much as it avails the devil and his angels
l will not quarrel with you about any o.
-pinion; only see that your hearts be right
towards God-that you love the Lord
Jesus Christ that you love your neigh
bour-walk as your Master walked, and
desire no more. / am sick of opinions
| am weary to hear them-my soul loaths
their frothy food. Give me solid, sub
stantial religion-give me humble low
er Of God and mana man full OF mercy
and good fruits, a man laying himself out
in the work of faith, the patience of hspe
the labor Of love. Let my soul be with
such Christians, wheresoever they are;
and whatsoever opinions they may hold
'.He that doeth the willof my Father ii
heaven, the same is my brother, and my
sister, and my mother" -"

dred thousand dollars. or fifty per cent
on the capital stock of the Bank. Suct

Pay Of RniI Road.

English experience in railroad travel
ling, has clearly demonstrated that it is
from short travel that the income of the
roads is derived Eighty per cent of the
passengers do not travel more than
twelve miles. This is one of the many
facts which to prove that, in selecting
routes for railways, it is not so much the
terminal points that should be looked to,
as the places along the line. Short trav-
ell is the source of profit from railroad in
vestments, in every country in which rail
roads have been made.
