A Curious ANECDoTE OF CAININ.-The
late ALBERT GAILATIN, President of the
New York Historical Society, related the
following anecdote to the Hon. GULIAN G.
VERpLANCK, of New York, from whom it is
derived:
Several years ago, a number of Calvin S
letters were among the archives of Geneva,
some of which relating to his domestic affairs,
exhibited a curious picture Of the daily life of
this great Presbyter, and illustrated strikingly
his peculiar life and temper. In a scolding
letter to the syndics, or magistrates of Gene
va, he complains that they had filled his cellar
with wine of poor quality. Il do not keep
open house. he says, nor do l entertain
many guests at my table, and therefore the
quantity you have sent me displeases me as
we'll as the quality. [ wish, therefore, you
would take it way and replace it with some
thing that l can drink do not want much,
merely enough for my own use, and that of my
own family, few barques, barrels of about
forty gallons each,) say four or five will be
sufficient for me, once a quarter!' We are
afraid the Presbyterians of this country nave
been tremendous backsliders. When shall we
see such men as Luther and CALVIN"
We suspect that this very curious piece
of history has been elected to give the
Maine law thwack We too remember
the time when clergymen used to preach
with a bottle of gin in their overcoat peck
Ct and some were malicious enough to say
that while the congregation were singing,
he would stoop down and take long pull.
He was not only very able man, but was
considered very exemplary clergyman
Times have changed since then.
