A Good Anecdote.

During the inauguration Of Gen. Tay-
lor, at Washington, D. c., March 4th,
ls4s, the police regulations, as usual,
required that after the speech Of the new
President had commenced, the gates OF
the Capitol Grounds should be closed, and
no carriage, of any kind allowed to pass,
until the speech was finished, to prevent
confusion. ...,-. -.t..t
The Minister of all the Russians, M.
Bodiscos was very late, and after the
speech had begun, drove up to the gate
il great haste, the horses covered with
foam, when the coachman shouted to the
guard, AsOpea se gates, iy you please
The gard shook his head and stood still
The footman next called ont. "Will you
open re gate for re Russ an Minister
The guard again shook his head, without
answering a word Next, the grand Min
lister Put his head out of the carriage
window and called to the guard "OpeI
re gates to re gran Minister of all q
Russias, Minister Plenipotentiary, NJ
Bodisco; am re Minister. a.
There was great crowd around thu
gates within and without, and all this fus
created quite q stir. The. guard drey
himself up, and in a firm and pleasan
manner replied. : If you srers .tree-bor'

The crowd came very near giving thre
cheers fer the guard, but better manner
prevailed; aud NJ. Bodiseo stepped out q
his elegant eqpipage, and entered the sid
gate with the sovereign people, his car
riage remaining outside until ali the cerc

Preaching and LEGISLATION.

When so many clergymen are yielding
to the temptation held out to them to en-
ter political life, an incident told of DR..
Plumer, 10y the Presbyterian Herald, has
its moral:4I asaIol1 fl5uiss sd saf; .5s4.s
1t is related that h committee Of the
dominant party in the Legislature of Vir-
ginia waited upon DR.. Plumer, then resi-
dent in Richmond, and pastor of it's
churches, but now professor the Western
Theological Seminary, and inquired whe,h-
er he would consent to become their can
didate for the United States Senate, as
suring him that he could be very easily
elected if he would permit his namesto be
used by the party. The Doctor, after
thanking them for the. honor intended to
be conferred upon, him, said to them in
his oracular Style: % Gentlemen, l Believe
you are in the habit, when you give up
one Office to seek another of aiming to go
lnp higher, are you not?p They replied in
the affirmative. ''Well then said he at

to represent the State of Virginia in the
! United States Senate, but it asmuch
! higher one to be an tembassudor of. Christ
to dying sinners, and l can't come down
from a minister of the Court of Heaven
to that of United States Senator" He
magnified his Office, as did Paul, and SO
should every osher man Who bears ii in his
person, and,if he.does ndt-a do it,4those who
conferred it upon him should deprive him
of it, and give it. to men who will fulfill

Help One Another.

The following touching incident illus
trates the worth ofspiritual sympathy and
effort. Christians who are wholly absord-d
ed in self, soon grow torpid in their aifssss
ton and loose the freshness of their spir.
itual life. But when they put forth earn
est endeavors to save others from eternal
death, their own hearts are warmed; thks4a
faith and zeal quickened, and they neksa
rapid progress in personal holiness: sSas

Just at that moment he saw another .poofs
