F,NSn1Nn FART r. WITH MINISTER'S

FINDING FAULT WITH MINISTERS =
There are many persons whose religion
consists Of finding fault with ministers.
Nor are they all Of the world. Some
church members think this one eff the
privileges Of their profession. And as
Satan desired to sift as wheat Simon,
50 they sift the character and life of
their minister, Every word he speaks,
and every act he performs, in private
and in. public, at h, me and abroad !,
must be weighed in their balance-and
if he is found wanting, they must post
up the charch and the world in refer
ence to his defects and infrmities. This
part Of religion must be attended to by
soma one. '"All members have not
the same Office" And as they have a
peculiar taste, if not talent, for finding
fault, and no relish for anything more
spiritual, they are faithful in pointing
out his real and imaginary defects.
And thus they saved him from that
woe which Christ said rested on minis
tiers, when all men spo> 9 well Of them.

gets off the following on connubial
matters
& l"My brethren, for charity's sake,
whose business but her own is it if a
young lady las beau, two beaux,
twenty beaux, or no beaux at all? Is
little Irritation. or a course Of syste-
matte courtship, such novel and won
derful affair as to excite the curiosity
and meddling propensities Of society
at large Why, the thing has been
done ever since Noah and his family
gave up the ship, and went forth to
multiply and replenlsh the earth. 1t is
a fair business transaction between the
parties concerned-and . very pleas
ant piece of business it is, too, when
not interfered with by calculating par
ents, whose arithmetic is their Bible
by pasteboard relatives, who fear some
starch will be taken out Of the family
pride-and by outside poke-noses in
general who are determined to NEEDLE
for the fun of the thing. Lord! what
an unnecessary amount of fuss there is
made when fellow treads up to a girl
as if he meant to put her through a
hasty courtship, and then make her
his old woman in spite of the devil
himself. I wonder if when o gander
selects his goose, there is such a COB
ling and shaking CT feathers among the
flock !"

5 MEAN IN BUSINESS. -, There is no
greater mistake that man can make
than to be mean in his business. AL
ways taking the half cent for dollars
he has made and is making. Such a
policy is very much like the farmers
who sows three pecks Of seed when he
ought to have soWn FIVE, and as q re-
compense for the leanness of his soul,
only gets ten when he ought to have got
fifteen bushels Of grain. Everybody
has heard Of the proverb of "penny.
wise and pound foolish" A liberal ex-
penditure in the way Of business is al
ways sure to be capital investment.

JOHN WESLEY. Wesley, the
great founder Of "Methodism," was
seventy-two, he wrote: ''How is it
that I find just the same strength as |
did thirty years ago Z" His sight was
considerable better now, and his nerves
frmer than they were then. He had
none of the infrmities Of old age, and
had lost several that he had in his
youth! The grand cause he says, is
"the good pleasure of God, who doeth
whatsoever pleaseth him. The chief
means were, 1. His constantly rising at
four o'clock fer about fifty years 2.
His generally preaching at five in the
mornlng-''on of the most healthy
exercises in the world :" 3. His never
travelling less, by sea or land, than four
thousand FIVE hundred miles in a year
All this travelling was performed on
horseback down to his Goth year, when
his friends provided him with carri-.
age, and his strength and health were
preserved to him through two violent
fevers and two deep consumptions.

What need we care? the birds will sing
As sweetly Ger us where we lie,
The flowers as rich fragrance fling,
As Ger the Boosting stone, hard by.

Some noble soul, in passing by,

One generous heart to weep for me,

And, when the final morn shall break,
Earth melt, and skies be yelled in gloom,
To greater joys we may awake ...,
