The MINIeTRY OF THE REV. Mr.. TAYLOR
The Rev George B. Taylor commenced what
may be called his Independent ministry at
fuckers Academy of Music on Sunday last.
in the evening the subject of his discussion
was THE duties and obligations of a Minis
Ter of Christ" in which he was expected TO
say something in connection with his posi-
.tion in reference to the Episcopal Church.
A large congregation had assembled to hear
him. The drift of his sermon was that
minister of the gospel SHOULD be fearless
honest and faithful, unintluenced by party
fashion or pride. The.ofiice Of tie true MN
lister of Christ is the most exalted on earth,
and has divine commission from God. I'm
fortunately, there are nowadays too many
of what may be called "human-made minis.
ters"-men who are ruled and guided 10y the
feeling of the hour, who endeavor to force
sectional dogmas upon their hearers, who
employ themselves in fashioping rhetorical
sentences and tickling the prejudices or ap-
petites of their hearers. The true minister,
on the other hand, having been called to his
high and responsible duty as teacher sent
from God should point out the path which
all should walk, and himself walk in it,
showing the way to Others and fearless OF
offending wealth, influence and vanity.
Mr.. Taylor proposes continuing to preach
every Sunday, in fuckers Hall, until further
NOTICES.. +. Times.

to accede to the request of his Legislature, to
withdraw from the House, not only produced
a tremendous sensation Mt the time among
the members and spectators, but has won for
him the praises of conservative Union owing
men everywhere. After the House adjourn
ed, Crittenden met Bouliguy, and grasping
him with both hands, invoked Gods bless
ing upon him, assuring him thai however
much he might be cursed now by those who
are disioyal to the country, he (Boulisnyl
would outlive them all in the aiectionat {

A LADY's OPINION The meanest and most
contemplate Of mankind may yet find some
human advocate; and male coquettes have
had, it seems, at least one defender The poet
Campbell, says that he once heard a lady of
distinguished Leauty and rank defend Sir
Thomas Lawrence from the charge of having
been culpable in paying attentions t, ladies'
without intending to follow them up by an
offer of his hand. A gentleman remarked that
he thought Sir Thomas was highly bameable

been herself the temporary object of the great
painters attentions; mo, not eXactly-not SO
mach to blame" said the lady, musingly
what" exclaimed the gentleman, "you
astonsh me! Not to blame for such conduct?'
"No, not So much" was still the ladys mus
ing response Can You really, madam" said
the gentleman again. defend such behavior
as desertion?" "Why, sir" interrupted the
lady, "to confess the truth, am firmly of the
opinion that the majority Of women would
rather be ecurted and Tilted, than not courted
at all !"

INsENE-An insane man named jacob 3
Stewart was sent up from Grass Valley on
Saturday afternoon, and lodged in Jail. From
hi. conversation and papers found in his pos
session it appears that he has had difficult y
about the possession of his children, which
probably caused his insanity Among the
papers was note to Forbes IL BGbcock, da
ted in June last and signed II. p Coon, re-
questing the former to take the case Of the
bearer, stewart into charitable consideration
and inform him the lowest price of n passage
to New York. From one letter directed to
Stewart, it appears that suit for the custody
of his children was being tried in "the Su-
preme Court" but the State is not given
The letter urged him to come home immedi-
otely, but it appears he was unable to com
ply with the request He is about 10 year,
old, and seems to be quite an intelligent man
