" Two years have wrought something of
a change. These infamous deYils--these
proscriptive partisans, and vile getters up

MUsCULAR CHRISTIANITY present

in small VILLAGE in Scotland, aud on his
way to church he had to pass over bridge
on which several young men were aocus'
toned to'assemble OH Sundays to play at
pitch and toss. lie demonstrated with
them on the impropriety of such conduct
and advised them to go to church but
they refused. They were determined to
return evil for good, and took the opportu-
nifty of insulting him on several occasions
when on his way to church. He at last made
up his miuj to bear IL no longer; so the
next time they insulted him he took off his
coat and laid il on the bridge, also his watch
aud sermon, and said" have shown you
. deaf Of Christian forbearanoe, and now
will give you specimen of muscular Chris
tianity--send out your best man." This
was no sooner done than he was laid or
his back, aud another called for but they
were so'much dismayed ut what had hap
pSAed to- their champion, that no othor
could be persuaded to come on. The GU.
rate then kindly invited the whole party tc
accompany him to church, which they did
and ii was gratifying to know that they all
became faithful members Of the church
and he WAS never again annoyed by wit
