PECULIAR BIAS OF THE ENGLISH
REFORMATION.

The words at the head of this article, are those
placed at the head of one of his chapters by re-
cent author from whom we expect to offer, during
the progress of this discussion, some interesting
quotations He is one of distinction, and of great
ability, is thoroughly evangelical and orthodox, Is
a devoted Episcopalian in communion with the
Church of England, is a clergyman of that sect,
and strenuous defender of its faith against the
Popery and Puseyism so fearfully prevalent in the
Episcopal communion both there and here.
This peculiar bias he eandidly admits was
towards POpery. 1t should not be reckOned against
US as grave trespass, that we have ventured to

bytery, on the 18th of April, 1905 After per-
forming some missionary work for the Presbytery
in the region of the Kanawha, he was sent to
Fredericksburg, Va, and labored there with so
much success that church was organized, of
which he became the pastor, and continued to be
the pastor for the space of thirty years. This
church became, under his judcious and faithful
ministry, one Of the largest and strongest in the
Southern States.
In lS4l he was transferred from his pastoral
charge in Fredericksburg, to the chair of System
attic Theology in the Union Theological Seminary,
and continued to discharge the duties Of this chair
until within a few years of his decease, when the
accumulatiug infrmities of age made it necessary
that his burdens should be lightened He con.
tinued to teach some branches of the Seminary
course until the close of the Session of 1869
and at that time being less than three months be-
fore his DEATH he examined his classes in the pre-
Sence of the Boards Committee, though laboring
under the weight of four-score and six years.
He fell asleep in Jesus on the morning of the
Sabbath, the first day of August, 1869, after weeks
of severe suffering, which he bore with that calm.
ness and fortitude which had always been his
marked characteristics.

KEEPING PorAroRs IN CELLARs.-
1t is bad plan to placs potatoes against
the damp walls Of collar, or to put
them in large, deep bins, where they
will be likely to gather moisture. IL
bins are used, tho bottom should be
made Of small strips, with small spaces
left between, to admit air. Barrels or
open boxes are also good, as we'll as
convenient vessels, in which to keep
potatoes, and whenever it necessary to
look over pick out decayed tubers, it is
more easily done than when large
number Of bushels are placed in one
heap or bin. Cellars in which potatoes
are kept should not be too light, because
II will, as every farmer knows, make
the N turn green, and injure their flavor
and value. Hearth and Home.
