Behind the Times.-Several days ago, plain,
unassuming citizen, seeing badge of Grape hang
ing 10 door knob, and the window shutters tied
with pieces of similar material, conceived that
as many persons as there were pieces of Grape
lay dead in the house, To satisfy himself on that
point, he made inquiry of the servant, and learned
that only ore spirit, that Of a child, had just gone
TO heaven.
The gentleman who related this incident TO
us, says that, not long since, elderly citizen
seeing the outside blinds of q dwelling in his
neighborhood tied with Grape, rang the bell and
thus summoned the servant to the door. ~ called"
he remarked "to inform you that the Grape is still
on your shutters. AS Mr.. - was buried some
days ago, / thought you had forgotten to take it
Off" The servant smiling, informed the kind
hearted old gentleman that the Grape was pur-
posely left where it was; and added that il was
becoming fashionable, nowadays, TO keep the
shutters tied with Grape for limited period The
aged citizen returned home, and related what he
had heard TO his family, as an item Of news
We merely mention those incidents TO show
that we live in such progressive age that some
people--of the old fogy faniy-cannotGeep pace
with the fashions.

Mission Field.-A minister of the Gospel, on
Sunday, said in the'course of his sermon, that not
more than one-sxth of the people Of this metro
polls are converted 10 God and in church fellow
ship. He mentioned this by way of "stirring up
the pure minds of his hearers by way of remem-
brance," and of impressing upon them the duty Of
setting good christian example and of making
efforts TO gather souls into the fold of the Great
Shepherd
Now, here is home work TO do. II occurs to
us that if ministers would follow the example O.
their Saviour and that Of the disciples, preaching
and exhorting in the by-ways, and wherever there
can be found listening ears, they would have more
"souls for their hire" and "seals to their ministry.
We are of opinion that there should be outdoor
well as indoor preaching, if the conversion Of
sinners be the main object ofthe ministry.
