A TROUBLESOME CHURCH MEaBER.-
Spending night in certain neighborhood
of A., we inquired Of our host, fair.
christian man, how the church got on, for
we passed neglected frame chapel at the
crossroads.
ooh! poorly" said he, "poory enough"
"Why, what's to pay! You are in a
thick settlement of intelligent people, able
TO keep congregation and support the
gospel.
"Just So" says he, "but one troublesome
man Inns broken up the society, and keeps
il broken up. II was an unlucky day for
the church when he moved here. Yet he
is person of good parts, AMI has an inter.
esting family. Before he came here he had
troubles in the same way"
We suggested that perhaps the troubl o.
some mans peculiari,jes were not consult
cd; indulge him little. May be he wants
10 lead,
"Oh. as TO that, we've tried him IN the
lead. and every way. HIS not satisfied
with lead g. bet turns round aud bu.ts the
wheei-hnrses.
We r.yeit up. Our host was farmer
and the illustration cut like an argument
D avid had .ew OF this sort in his mind
when he wrote the l2.h Psalm. " u

ABSENCE OF MIND AND MoSEV.-A few
evenings STAGE gr5c n at Pawtucket, Rhode
Island, in making up the amount of the
DAYS sales, thought he would weigh his
change instead OF counting il, and for that
purpose placed it in his scales. A Gus
tomer came IN at the time, and after some
little conversation, sufficient to divert the
grocer's mind from his monetary occupation,
called for quantity of sugar. The mer.
chant threw the sugar into the same scales
with the money, and weighed out both the
sweetening ahd The silver to his customer
At the rate of fourteen pounds for dollar;
nor did he discover his mistake until the
money, amounting to some ten dollars, was
brought back the next day. He had miss
ed the money in the meantime, but suppos-
ed il had been stolen.

culating through the county trying to sus-
tain his popularity. This is certainly wrong;
one person who has q case in court declar.
ed to us that he will not have it come on in
the absence Of SO important an officer as
that Of Sheriff, and with an unnaturaIized
resident occupying bis place, and, he too is
in the right Of it. While Harvey Leonard
is Sheriff let him attend to the duties of the
Office and leave elec,ioneerins until Court
is dismissed.
Tho day before yesterday we passed
the afternoon in that beaut full portion of
our county known as pheasant Hill" The
landscape, as viewed at this season from one
Of the high ridges of this undulating prairie
is one that more than any upon earth rs
calculated to cause the mind ola devout
person to arise in humble thanksgiving o
God, the Gver of all temporal blessings.
In every direction, so far as the vision can
penetrate, are immense fields Of wheat, all
cut and shocked in readiness for the thresh-
er. While thousands Of acres of corn, oats,
potatoes, etc, at the same time gadden the
sight and render nugatory all prophecies Of
u famine in the land. To form just con-
ception Of the extent and proliicness Of
Western prairies, we advise the stranger to
visit this delightful locality and from one of
these high ridges, standing in the midst Of
an extensive prairie, gaz, upon the unequal
ed landscape around him. II the very
skeptic, in view Of such a scene. does not
have twinge Of conscience and feel his
mind expand in alteration under its inilu-
ence, then he is made of sterner stuff than
often enters into the composition of human
mould.

The last steamer from Europe brings the Lon
don Times, containing bsllicose article in rela.
ton 10 the United States. Without any foundation
OF truth, the Times assumes that iIibuster expe-
dtions are now fitting out in our ports to invade
some 'unofending neighbour" or even to make a
descent upon Ireland and while hypocritically
protesting the most friendly feelings towards our
country, incites to war by an acrimonious and in
sul,ing TRADE against us. Other British journals,
noticing this article, deprecate lis spirit and de-
clare that il dues not express the sentiments Of
The Government or people Of that country; yet ii
10 evident from the remarks Of one or two Of them
that we are viewed with suspicion. Al the same
time the British squadron in the West Indies i,
to be increased. This movement is accounted for
by the superstition, that the closing of the Baltic
having released from service large number of
vessels, they have been ordered to the West In
dies merely as convenient winter station. 1t is
not improbable, however, that tho British Govern
ment desire to have a larger squadron at hand to
watch tho progress of affairs in Central America,
especially if the story of the abrogation of the
