his episcopal career strkingy illustrating the despotic
power of long ndnssd habit AT Of the conferen-
ces where he presided, young preacher charged

the semblance and frequently did all the mischief of
lie. The young man sentenced To be publicly ad-
monshsd by the Chair He stood up in the presence Of
his BRETHREN and the bishod with great kindness poin-
ted the evil resulting from the habit Alter hearing
him through, the accused, bathed in tears requested
permission to say few words. He commenced by a
candid acknowed gmeut of his fault, and thanked the
bishop for his admontion. Turning TO els brethren in
the ministry he assured them of his determination TO
conquer his besetng propensity al regret it," said
he ''as much any OF you have struggled against
it. have wept over il. Yes brethren BY night and
by day, have wept account of il; and l truly

whole series OF his murders was suggested by his con-

death Of genhadad by Hazael in the second book of
Kings. The writer adds in note: This is a very
curious fact. The daboical suggestion arose from
Hare reading the account given (vsrse r. chap viii of
the death Of Benhadad, who thus killed by Hazae
And il came TO pass on the morrow, that ne took

A Hasty soliioquy.

SOMEWHAT IN THE ANTIQUE STYLE.

To faint OF not to faint, that is the question:

To swoon, oercOme with cowardice, or like

A staIwart Britons horse, and bear him
Back to glory! To faint; to sleep-perchanco
To the Hospital Ayi there's the rubl
For in those words what plans may take scope,
When we have dissipated mortal lies
Must give pause There's the respect,
That makes the bitter sarcasm Of ones late defeat
Fer, who that of politics knsws sught, can bear
The taunts Of that erich brogue, and scsent sweet
The smiles Of seward, and poor GTeeley's spittle,
The psngs OF dead ambition, and Republican
Ingrstitude1 Who, when he might quietus make,
With the biggest sort of swordl
WHO would bear the insoence Of scsndal0us puppets,
Whom JaCSson never knew or felt, but
De Witt Clinton understood so weIl:-
But that the dread Of something sftsrwards-
That lsng, so well and quietly earned prize,
Which he who e'ere throws up, can ne'er regain
The hated lap OF salsry-pszzles the will
And makes Us rather bear those ills we have,
And put ourselves upon our best behaviour.

And lose the name OF action. Soft you, now,
