recent letter from Paris has this very Frenchy
illustration Of the way in which the French take
their religion:-"The zeal with which NJ. Theirs
and the mass of Frenchmen who share his preju-
dices, il not his talent, join hands with the most
ultra portion OF the clerical party in the preserva
reminds one of the reply Of Victor Cousin when
complmented by one Of the most fiery of the bish-
ops on his conversion, evidenced by his attitude
in parliamentary discussion Of the temporal
power:-'Oh Monseigneur, do not mistake me l
accept the hope as emphatically as you do; but
Jesus Christ, never' It is 10 be feared that too

The Congregationalist INDUCES in this remnis-
cence anent the scarce numb ers and Che scant
theology OF the students at the Unitarian seminary
at Cambrdge:-"In the more former days Of the
theological seminary in connection with Harvard
College, when Theodore Parkers theories were
exciting great interest in the community, and young
men especially were feeling strongly their influ-
ence, it was the custom in the Harvard law school
when holding moot court to send over to the
sit upon the jury. Judge Story was preparing to
open court thus one day, and despatched a mes
senger to secure the usual attendance That
messenger having Ill success returned after a
while with the -"May it please your honor,
/ can't find men enough in the theological semi
nary who believe in God to piece out this jury,
and l wait further Instructions" The judge is
reported to have INDUCED in an answering roar
which did better in moot court than it would
have done in a real one, but which made it very
certain that it was not mute court.
