GE If we are to credit the Washington cor.
resPondence of some of the daily rapers, says
the Illustrated Newspaper, this country is on
the eve of a war. 1t is stated that the British
cabinet ridicules our prstensions on the enlist
ment question, and adheres tenaciously TO its
construction Of the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
BY way of corollary to this intelligence, it is
added that further reinforcement of the Brit
ish West India fleet has been resolved upon
Notwithstanding these alarming announce
ments, we must continue to express our belief
that there is too much practical common sense
h the two countries TO allow their governments
to Commit them 10 struggle which would be
fatal to the interests of both With such as
illustration of the evils and discredit of war
before our eyes as that afforded by the contest
n2w waging in Europe, it will be difficult 10
Convince right principled men of the expedien-
cy OF driving matters to extremes with :bc
English government. With regard 10 the en-.
I'stment question, we think that sufficient has
been done By the latter to satisfy our wounded
PRIDE. To insist upon more would only brine
upon us the ImPutation of desire to fasten an
unnecessary quarrel upon Great Britain. As
to the issues involved in the Central American
dispute, we can afford to leave them in abav.
ance for a while. Genera! Walker will cut
the knot of that little difficulty.

Gists preachers. He is less noted for his preach.
ing than ms administrative abilities; in copse-
quence OF which, he has generally been sent by
the Conference 10 difficult fields of labor which
most men shrank from. He had "miud to

bored IN season and out of season he
never wanted all eXpedient when there was
the prospect of accomplishing good: when dptv

deal of good, and has secured 70 himself bus,

bonds of Christian fellowship. MIR. Masship
has transferred to his book many incidents of
prayer, camp and social meetings, which INNS,
prove interesting to a large majority of his
readers. There is much in it to instruct. musa
and reflect upon, and the whole tendency of tb.
work is, by example and precept, to stir up the
people TO The Importance of vital godlness.-
Besides giving the auther's own eventtul his.

this is the place of his nativity, the field ofhis
early labors, and, as he terms it, the " garden
