Whatever may have been my feelings about as
settled, and ne must take each other, pastor and
people, as people do when they get married-for
better or FOR worRe. It would be more pleasant
for me to speak Of this venerable See, of tho
and of the great, good men Who hare been called
in Gods providence to rule over it. I might
speak, too, Of what these old walls haye seen, Of
those early provincial councils which did SO
have seen and listened to. Bishops Henry,
Hughes, Spaulding, and many other good and
venerable men who have gone into the house Of
God"
After speaking Of the feeling of responsibility

We live in e time when the influence of the
great majority Of lo periodical press is On the
side Of naturalism instead OF preter-natura1ism
when journalism has become the school which
dominates over every other, and to which almost
every one now goes for instruction, young as
we'll as old. There are some, I know, who re-
gard these things as the signs OF the millennium;
times. One thing is certain. These principles
are subversiyo Of authority, Of woll-regulated
liberty, and dangerous to tho safety of THO

that is the teachings Of their holy religion.

days put upon such words rs "duty," "loyalty,"
and ''ibcrty."
a Funny Incident Of the Campaign.
From the Cincinnati Commercial
A Greeley and Brown meeting was held in |
Clifton Hall on Friday evening last, Of which
no fair report has been published in tho news-
papers: It was Of so peculiar character, how
ever, that some account of it will be read with
interest, even at this late day.
