The Story of Father Smiley.

The following incident in the earlv history
of our church will shew the struggles which
the hardy oneers of the West were wilIin z
to undergo for the sake of the gospel. Il was
narrated bv Rev j. w Miller, several wears
since, and is now found in the work called
"Old Redstoue." by Dr.. Smith.
"Our story Will carry the reader back 20
the period when all north OF TIE Ohio river
was An almost unbroken wilderness-the
mysterious red mans home. On tie other
side. bold ami hardy band from beyond the
mountains had built their log cabins, and
were trying to subiue the wilderness. To
them every hour was full OF peril. TIE In
diauS would often cross tie river. steal their
children aud horses, and Kill and scalp any
victim who came In their way. They worked
in the field with weapons At their side. and ON

to hear the word Of God, w j 5aelr rifles IN

A New rE-TheLesislalure of Micbi-

NEW SrArE.-The%esislatu of Mchi-
gan. al It's last session, passed an sct provid-
ing for the formation Of the new State or Ter
ritory of Superior. This new territory en-
braces all that vast extent of territory on the
south shore of Lake Superior. and north of
Lake Michigan and Wisconsin which now
composes a part of Michigan. 1t is entirely
separated from it bv Lakes Huron and Michi-
gan. and has no natural connection with the
rest of that State. Il is the seat of the great
mineral wealth of the nation. Its mines of
copper and iron are unsurpassed by any in the
world. Ii has been the desire Of the inhabi-
tants TO sever their political connection with
Michigan, as their interests were diverse. and
they were 81 far distant from the capital and
business portion of the SiatA Msh.s-. has
heretofore refused to grant their request, but
it seems sober second thought has brought
assent.
Two years ago, Wiscon III passed an act.
granting the northern part of its territory to
the proposed State OF Superior. The pro-
posed northern boundary of Wisconsin, and
southern line of Superior extends from the
Mississippi at the mouth of the Chippews
river, up this last named river until it strikes
the United States correction line between
towns 80 and 81. and then following that line
east to Green Bay. which It intersects near the
mouth of Brule river of Green Bay. This
would throw all the country on the St. Croix
into The proposed new State-a fine agricultur
al region-which would find lis account in
being connected politically with Superior.
This territory from Wisconsin and from
Michigan viii form the future State of Super
Tor. 1t will extend from the western point Of
Lake Superior, embracing all the south shore
thereof. TO the ST. Mary's river, and the
northern portions of Lakes Huron and Michi
gan. The .'Saut" will be on its eastern bor-
der, aud the great mines of copper and iron
will be on its northern line. Its western
boundary will be the most interesting, wealthy
and important portions of the Union. The
States of Michigan and Wisconsin being agreed
to this arrangement. Congress, by viture of
the power vested in it by the third section of
the 41h article of the Constitution, has author
ity TO erect 1t into a territory, or to admit, at
once, State.

who have not, out of those he started in life
with, he will find that the successful have

There are men of ability III every walk of
life who are notorious for never getting along.
Usually. it is because they never stick TO any
one business. Just when they mastered one
pursuit and are cn the point of making mon

no understand, and in a little while, what
little they are worth. is lost forever. We
know scores of such persons Go where you
will. you will generally find, that the men
who have failed in life are those who never
stuck to one thing long.-Pha. Ledger.

The SaiEituali-t.s Marriage

The newspaper comments respecting the
marriage OF .ar ~ Davis and Miss Robson. and
the former connection OF the latter with Mr.
Love, have called out lie discarded husband,
scnooi- teacher in Buffalo, and said to be a
very respectable and clever gentleman, who
makes the following statements:
"First-I am not spirilualist, nor am |
considered one by my friends and those who
best know me- | have devoted some at.en-
ton to the 50 called phenomenon OF spiritu-
aism." but have failed to appreciate many Of
its fundamental principles
Second-To my knowledge, spirits were
not consulted in regard 10 the divorce in ques-
ton, nor was the least influence from tha.
source e1erted upon my mind
''Third-About year since. Mary z. Rob-
inson,' formerly my wife, went into the states
of Ohio and Indiana for the purpose Of lee
turing. l had no anticipation of the event OF
divorce, until notice was served upon me to
that effect.
FOURTH am not married again. nor have
l any such proceeding in prospect at present" !"
The Medina HHiy says:-From limited
acquaintance with Mr.. Love, as well as from
his reputation where he is best known, We are
led to regard him with high esteem

WHAT A SERMON SHOULD BE.

II should be brief if lengthy it will s-eeP
Our hearts in apathy, our eyes IN sleep
The dull will yawn. the chapel iounSef uoIe,
Ambition fags, the memorys portal close
T, should be warm: a living altar coal,
To melt the icy heart and charm the soul;
4 .auless dull harangae. however read,
viii never rouse the soul, or raise the dead.
I, should be simple, practical and clear;
No fine spun theory To please the ear;
No eurions lay to tickle toctered pride,
And leave tho poor and plain unedihei.
Il should s. tender and atTeetiouate,
A. his warm theme who wept lost Salems fate -
The fiery laws With words Of love aliayd,
Will swcetly warm ami uwfolly persuade
Il shouId be manly, just and rational
Wisely conceived and Will expressed withalj
Nor stuH'd with sill y notions, apt 70 stain
sacred desk and show muddy brain.
II should possess "a well adapted grace,
Te situation, audience, time and place;
A sermon formed FIR scholars, statesmen, lords,
With plain, meek people, very al aceords
r. should with evangcic beauties bloom,
Like Paui's at Corinth, Athens, or at Romc;
While some Epicetus or Sterne esteem,
A era iuus savior is the gospel theme.
II should be mixed with many ardent prayer,
To teach the heart, and firmly fasten there
When God and man are mutually addressed,
God grants a blessing, man Is truly blessed
II should be closely, well applied Mt last,
To make the moral nail securely fast:
aThou art the man. and thou alone" will make
