The Mayor. after trying for months TO re-

e Elder Jones was not remarkable
for his eloquence, nor was he a very good
reader, especially the hard names. But
he said that "all Scripture is profitable, -
and therefore he never selected any por-
tons, but read the first chapter he open
ed at after he took the stand to preach.
One day he stumbled in this way upon a
chapter in Chronicles, and read: 'Elea-
zer begat Phineas, and Phineas begat
Abishua, and Abishua begat Bukkie,
and Bukkie begat Uzzie, and stumbling
worse and worse as he proceeded, he
stopped, and running his eye ahead, and
seeing no better prospect, he cut the mat
ter short, by saying, And they went
on and begat one another to the end of

NAPIER's PRoPHECIEs.--The Lon
don correspondent of the N. Y. CONNER
cial Adrertiser writes in regard to the
Indian mutiny:
Now that the event has happened,
tbe predictions of General Sir Charles
Napier, who was denounced by all the
Indian authorities as a wrong headed dis
turber, are being quoted with all the ma
tional self-reproach that arises when one
who warned us wisely, but received no.
thing but anger in return, is beyond the
reach of worldly recompense. His life,
lately published by his brother, abounds
with passages which describe the present
events as if he had actually seen them
The total abandonment of the army to
native oficers-designing and vigorous
men, looking with contempt upon the
boy captains whom they had actually to
teach-the display and luxury in the
civil service, "where every young gen.
tleman must have a servant to wash eve
ry distinct toe"-the enlargement of the
men by a set of martinets or tops who
" would make them blow their noses by
beat of drum"-all excited his disgust
and satire.
But he added touchingly in one of his
letters, 1T is no concern of mine. I
shall be dead before what I see will take
place, bat 1t aOiU take place One of his
chief ideas as a remedy for the dangers
he predicted from the state of the Sepoy
army, was TO raise regiments from the
Goorka mountaineers, whose difference
Of religion and hardy nature would prove
valuable set-of. He consequently is
sued an order to that effect, and for a
wonder Lord Dalhousie, the Governor
General, did not rescind it. He wrote,
however, what Napier, in the peculiar
rein which brought him so many enc
mics, called weak and very silly let
Ter on the subject. 1t will have been
noticed in the last accounts that these
GOOrkas have rendered us invaluable aid.
