New Denomination ,

A new religious denomination seems to
have been safely, and we doubt not provi-
dentially launched upon the sea OF religious
life. 1t is composed OF various lndepe ndent
Methodist Churches, which, for different
reasons, have become disunited from the o!d
organizations and which have now affiliated
under this new form, and under the name
of the Independent Methodist Conference.
This new denomination we understand to
be Methodist in its modes of worship; Con-
gregational in its Church lndependency; and
Baptist in its general preference for INNER
sion as the form of administering the ordi-
nance Cf baptism-while rejecting none who
prefer sprinkling. AS thus Congregational
Baptist Methodist it forms a link between
the various denominations, and may reach
the preference of many, especially in mis-
sion work, who would be repelled from
either, whose peculiRrities in part it follows.
More particularly we understand the Pc
culiaTities of this sect to be-that while they
adhere to Methodist doctrine and modes of
worship, they have no bishops" or "pre-
siding elders" the churches are independent
OF the Conference; own their own church
property; choose their own pastors, and re-
tain them as long as they please; and the
Conference, composed of ministers and lay
delegates, has no legislative, executive or ju-
dicial authority over the local churches be-
yOnd tnat OF mere hutiOo ahu teOOnm0nua
tiop, The Articles of Faith of the Methodist
Episcopal Church were adopted by the Con-
ference, and recommended TO the local
churches as doctrinal platform, and care
fully prepared plan of union or constitution
was adopted, and subscribed by all the dele
gates present.
The session of the conference forming this
new organization was held in the city oi
New York. A large amount of business was
transacted with much harmony, and the
Conference adjourned to meet at the same
place on the first WEDNESDAY Of December,

been deserted, and few indications Of comfort
remain in the village, once the residence OF
families of affluence and distinction.

A few weeks ago young lady, expen-
sively dressed, was in the garden within one
hundred miles of the town of Bradford, Eng
land. She stopped to gather something,
when her crinoline coquetted with beehive
that stood close by. On attempting to walk
forward, the misohieVous article being un-
willing to surrender its hold, she pulled over
the hive, and an angry troop of bees came
buzzing about the alarmed and unhappy fair
one. Clearly no time was to be lost so
mastering upall her courage, she rushed to a
pond in the inclosure, and plunged over
head to shield herself from her exasperated
foes. AS it was, however, the poor girl was
badly stung, and had to be removed TO bed.

Did st. Paul ever actually fight with
beasts2 In the first Epistle to the Corinth
ians he says: "If, after the manner of meu,
have fought with beast at Ephesus." The
expression in this passage is considered
merely fgurative. Theophylact explains
the fighting with wild beasts, as the apostles
contestwith Demetrius and the Jews. Dod1-
ridge considers the passage as purely fgur-
alive, as did Ignatius. Lucian, also, speak
ing of the philosophers says "For am not
to fight with ordinary wild beasts, but with
men insolent and hard to be convinced" !"
The foregoing is from the Ladies Repository.
The exposition is doubtless correct-and,
alas how much of the same fighting with
beasts" remains to be done in these latter

BY MRS o. g. BEALE
No matter when: enough that moon ana stars
Shone as they shine to-night;
That tales of desolation and OF wars,
OF struggle and OF blight,
Like the low mutterings OF troublons dream,
Fitting across the still and peaceful night,
GLANCED DER my heart and thine!
The music of the pine
The silver. witching stream
An impress deeper, left upon our hearts.
The murmuring song fell soothing on our ears;
The silver stream with beauty charmed our eyes;
And so we bade the tales of spears and darts
With all their train of agony and tears,
Go to the winds; and leave us golden skies,
And brooks, and reaching hills, and lovers leaps,
With bold and rugged sleeps;
For thou and were--nidway in our teensl
Once. breathe it softly, softly, my heart.
And thou--my waiting one
Nv unforgotten! wheresO' 'er thou art
NV hearts uniading sun
MY guiding light beneath the storms and clouds;
Ny solace when the woods and hills are lone;
And the dark pine breathes out its saddenng moan !,
And when the night the misty mountain shrouds,
Breathe 1t still gently, wheresoer thou art,
Light of my faintiag heart
'oncer stop wheels of time, upon the word
Gather II in knot of silken blue;
Bind it all fondly with nuptial cord,
Unto the widowed present. bear ii through
All change-all chance Love, friendship! hold it
FAST
Let it no more be welded to the past
And human hearts through all life's checkered
scenes
Shall ever tarry midway in their teens,
