During her married life she resided in Richmond,

Possessed OF unusual attractions of person and
manners. fond of society, and fitted to adorn its
most polished circles, she formed in these cities
warm friendships with the cultivated and the gifted,

On March 18th, at "A special meeting vi the Free
Church Presbyiery OF Edinburgh, long discussion
took place on an overture proposed by the hey;
William Balfour, of Hollywood, asking the General
Assembly to take measures Ito secure the MAIN
teuance and promulgatlon IN all their integrity
of the whole distinctive principles OF the DSrup,

cies of the age and consider the revolutions which

Cunningham Lecturership-Rev. James Walker
of Carnwath has been appointed the next Gun
ningham Lecturer in the Edinburgh Free Church
College.
Bible Work in Turkey-An American missionary
writes from Harpoot, in ASiatc Turkey, that their
operations are mainly biblical. No other standard
but the Bible is recognised. ln the majority Of
the Armenian churches, the Scriptures IN the
modern version are regularly read and expounded
every Sunday. For this purpose separate service
has been introduced, to meet the popular demand
for more biblical instruction, The HarpoOt station
has sixty outStatlOnS. The leavenlng process, 0y
means of the Scripture, is continually extending,
commonly in some such way as this: " A Bible
or New Testament is sold in new village; the
owner, with some of his neighbors, begin to read
it; as they read they find that their system of re-
lgou is wrong; they are led to seek out and learn
the way of God more perfectly. In one, two or
three years they come to our knowledge through
their desire for teacher or preacher.
The Oldest Tree in EurOps.-The oldest tree on re-
cord in Europe is asserted to be cypress OF Somma,
in Lombardy, Italy. The tree is believed to have
been in existence at the time of Julius Caesar, forty
two yeals before Christ and is therefore l,9ll
years old. 1t is loo feet in height, and 20 feet IN
circumference at one foot from the ground. Ma
poleon, when laying down his plan Tor the great
road over the SimplOn, diyerged from straight
line to avoid injuring this tree.
Trade in ssrmOns.-The secret traffic in sermons,
practised in England, is deprecated by many as
tending to bring the clergy into discredit An
English journal says: "VicariOus preaching seems
to be on the increase. In contemporary, ben
e6ced clergyman advertises that be is ready to
lend his weekly Sermons original, earnest, evan
gelical, to any brother more busy than himself
for halfa crown apiece, or four for post office
order for ten shillings He ends by request for
mutual confidence In this country sermons
are sometimes borrowed, but in such strict con-
6denee that even the owner knows nothing about it.
