In an interesting letter. written from England the
Richmond Christian Advocate, by the Rev. John Bay
ley we find the following:
At a late convection of the Province of Canter-
bury communication was received from the house of
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church in America
concerning which the eloquent bishop Of Oxford said
it would be impossible for that house to receive such
a communication without deep thankfu!ness. He
thought everything should be done to strengthen the
bonds Of union between the Church Of England and
her daughter in America and after a heightened dis
cusson it was decided that four Of the bishops should
be appointed to draw up fitting answer to the com
munication. This answer have not seen, but / am
persuaded that could fail to be calculated
promote kindly feelings between the two churches,
and so to advance the interests Of both countries.

SLEEPING IN CHURcH.-In st. Philips Chap
ell, Winchester, England very old edfce,
built long before the time of Henry VIlI-there
are ancient stall seats, affixed TO the wall of the
ante-chapel These seats are so fixed upon
hinges that those who sit on them can only
maintain their position by balancing themselves
with care, and resting their elbows on the seat
arms; so that if the old monks who used them
dropped asleep during divine service, the seat
came forward and pitched them headlong on
the aoorj nay, if they only dozed and nodded
the least in the world, the hard oaken seat
clapped against the oaken back, and made noise
enough TO attract the whole congregation. This
may serve as hint to those who are at loss
how to contriye something to keep people
awake in church.

WHEAT AMONG TAREs.
BY CLARA II. HEATH.

| walked beside field one day
When tares grew rank aud tall;
The sun shone on them, and the rain,
Whenever It watered hill and plain,
Around the tares did fall.
And STOPPING down beside the wall
To pluck violet blue,
/ saw, beyond the flower so sweet,
A dropping head of ripened wheat;-
Among the tores it grew.
And can it bel reasoned thus
That grain is growing here?
While close around ii, like a wall
Are growing tares, so coarse and tall,
So very, very nearp
] looked agan,--'twas surely wheat
Upon that barren ground;
1t stalk was Just ms clean and neat,
Its kernels Just as ripe and sweet,
As any had found.
Perhaps the stalk was scarce as strong
As that by lot more blest,
The tnres had drank up sun and rain,
But still the wheat had ripened grain
The wheat has done its best
If wheat can still be lcheaf said,
That grows in such n spot;
Then each his mission can fulfil,
And Christians may be Christians still,
Whatever be their lot.

FEMALE EQUEsTRIANIsM IN SCoTLAND.-A
young lady writes:-
CATER breakfast, ride was proposed, and
four of us started on--between pony and horse
back-for some old ruins a few miles distant
had been astonished the night before at the
sight of two young ladies handling four heavy
oars with the skill of old watermen, but that
establishment was nothing to what this ride was
to excite. 1t is common in England and Scot
land fer ladies to hunt foxes and break their
necks, as well as gentlemen; but knowing moth
ing of this, and being accustomed ut home to
see ladies ride very seldom, and always in a
proper and sober manner, was electrified at
seeing my fair companions suddenly go over a
brook, and shortly after to behold them beck
oning to me from the opposite side of a most
preposterous fence. After several frantic at
tempts to cross the brook, had incurred the
lasting contempt of my horse by compelling
him to wade through it, and, as for taking a
flying leap over fence with sharp points, as
high as my nose, that l declared, was utterly
impossible. | know that most men in such
cases risk their necks for the sake of their hon
or but either l had more neck than honor, or
it was too precious. So dismounted, became
dreadlully unromantic, and crawled through a
hole in the fence, while my male companion
transformed my little beast into momentary
Pegasus, and brought him through the air to
my feet"
