The Popular Heart and Moral He
..rs - rOiSnl. ....r ;L.i

The Philadelphia papers say that, with
the exception Of Dr.. Rane's, there has been
no such funeral In their city, either in re.
spect to the concourse drawn together OF
the feeling manifested, as that IN which the
las, houors were paid TO the Rev. DUDLEY
A. Trsa.N Il is a fact not without moral
Significance, Whit was IL that gave that
young man such hold upon the popular
respect? He had tslsut, but not above that
of hundreds Of others who die comparative.
" unnoticed. He had, too, amiubleness OF
disposition and fine social traits; but these
qualities are found at every third door In the
city. Nor was It his sacred profession that
made him so marked an object Of general
regard. Ministers Of the Gospel are cut
down even in the very flower Of their days,
and yet, outside Of their own churches, there
is no such special sorrow. We must look
else where than either to the intellectual or
the social elements Of the man, or the mere
nature Of his calling, for an explanation oi
the peculiar breadth and depth OF feeling
which his death has excited in the great
community where he lived. Now, what was
it' Clearly the heroic spirit Of the man.
He had given proof, in most signal way,
Of the very highest order Of courage and
self.devo,ion In the performance Of what he
solemnly believed to be duty. The circum.
stances under which he gave up one OF the
FIRST pulpits in the land, and sacrificed, as 1t
appeared, every bright earthly prospect rath-
er than speak with bated breath OF the
spiritual wickedness in high places, have
not vet faded from the public memory
Few Of our young men have undergone such
an ordeal, and none ever showed more ster.
ling stuff. His fidelity to what he believed
to be his duty could not but extort the ad-
miration Of every generous soul, whether
agreeing with him in opinion or not. Say
what you may, there is no quality that so
takes hold Of the hearts Of men as consci-
entious Courage. 1t may for the moment
irita,e and perhaps incense, but It's high
quality never fails to be soon appreciated.
Il is not the understanding, but the spirit
that makes the man; aud the spirit that Is
noble and faithful and divine, that Is the
slave Of no earthly ambition, and the tool
of no earthly interest, aud is fearless IN the
sense of right, challenges, nay compels
mems reyerence.-.N T. Courier.

Currant Bushes.

Now Is the time TO cut currant slips for
planting. Many cultivators recommend
cutting of oil buds below the part inserted
in tho ground, which prevents sprouts CON-
ing up from below, and thus making min
isiure tree of il, instead Of a bush-whlch
il its natural habit. The currant we have
found to be liable to the depredations Of
small grub, or worm, which breeds from the
deposite Of On egg near the root, where II
works upward into the Pitch, or hear. OF the
wood, for a foo. or two, and then emeIges
ou,-probably then taking the moth, or
winged formation, and leaving the wood
altogether. At the point of escape the wo1d

in the tree, or single stem form, and, OF
course destroys the plant. Aside from this,
