manifesto on political afFai, ., with
especial reference to the movement
suggested by . few Temperance
men," looking to the foundation OF

securing the success Of their net
theories. In his address occurs
the following defense OF General
Grant, from the men in the Re-
publican party, who seem anx;ous
to compass his defeat for . renom;.

1T is but too probable, howev-

A good man who has seen much
Of the world and is not tired of it
says. 1.-The grand essentials to
happiness is something to do.
something to love, and something
to hope for"
The bright spots Of a mans life
are few enough without blotting
any out; and, since for q nom ent
of mirth we have an hour of sad
ness, it were a sorry policy to di-
minish the few rays that illumine
our checkered existence. Life is
an April day-sunshine and show
ers. The heart. like the earth,
would cease to yield good fruit
were il not sometimes vatered With
the tears of seasibility; and the
fruit would be worthless but for the
sunshine of smiles.

GREAT OR EccsNrRIc.-A citv
congregation was in search Of .
minister: One Of the elders came
to US for aid to find the right man
for the place.
What sort OF Q man do ron
want2" we asked.
"Well," said he, tour church il
very much run down 1t present; We
have been without . pastor for !.
year or more. and we must have
somebody that will make a noise:
the fact is, We must have one who
is great or eccentric.."
1t was a matter Of no consequence
to the elder which the minister
should prove to be, great or eccen-
trio, either would answer, but he
must be one or the other. It was
not OF SO much moment to him
that the desired pastor should be a
man OF God, of faith and prayer,
tull OF love for souls aud the,
Church; humble, self denying and
earnest in his work He might be
all this. and learned, prudent and
wise, but he must be great and
eccentric.
1t he was great, he would com
maid attention. The people would
hear of him, and then come to
hear him. and would take pews in
the church, amt the house would
be filled, and that would be sue
cess. A great man would build IN
the church. It would be OF very
frttle importance whether sinners
we're converted aud saints edited.
The main thing is to sell the pews
and crowd the house, and a xreat
man will do that.
Or, it he is eccentric, it is a little
better still. The world will hear
that an odd sort Of IN an preaches
In the Old church where DE-. Dull
Drum used to be, and they will
bock to hear him. Anything odd
Is sure to draw. II the preacher

Who would crowd the house to see

sravaSance would not be tolerated.
"hiie even in unr most staid and
orde' ~ denomin .rions We have

er who::draws immensely, and whose
"otrsges are parioncd because he
breaches the truth in his own way
Great or eccentric: Oae or me
other is the demand of the hour
perhaps IL was always so, but it is
now more go than ever. But le: no
minister be di couraged or pro-
voked BY this popular taste. The
faithful, earnest man who does his
duty faithfully anl in the fear of
God, wins the esteem CT the vise
and good. does the work which ia
given him to do, and will not fail
OF his reward. Churches that Are
built up on the greatness or the
eccentricities of a particular prae-
cher. are not nurseries for heaven
they are more apt to be rlay houses
