out material injury. A son of the
deceased caused the slater to be ar
rested. The cadi listened aiicntivcly,
and in the end asked the slater what
he lad TO say in his defense. "Dis
pcnser of JUSTICE" answered the ac-
cusctl, ''it is even rs the man says;
but God forbid there should be evil
in my heart. l am u poor man amt

The son of the man who had been
killed, thereupon demanded that
condign punishment should be in.
flictcd upon the accused. Thr caui
meditatcd a few moments and finally
said IL should be SO. Then to the
slater he said: Thou shalt stand in
the street where the father Of this
Young man stood when thou dldst
fall oil him." And to the he
added: 'Thou shalt, If it please
thee, go upon the roof aud fall upon
the culprit, even rs he fell upon thy

4 BISHOP UUMMINs.

The following article from a New
York secular paper contains much
wholesome truth forcibly expressed.
Bishop Cummins has always been a
sensation, wherever he has lived,
aud We suspect his head has been
turned just . little by fiastcry, aud he
is vaiu enough to believe that he can
head \ great religious revolution
among the Protestant. bodies, which
will ultimately swallow up denomi-
us&ioaalhm aud imnortalize Cum
q. ,s. ..rt, .a..r-.
Stree Bishop Cummims has for.
saken the Episcopal church We have
waited with im%paiience to sce what
effect his proceeding would have on
shSat body. bur thus far wa ~asss.A-ali
letter does not seem to have precipi-
ta,ed q crisis ut all. In fact, it we
may judge from present indications,
t1Iero will be no explosion, because
the match is not powerful enough to
bufR through tue wall of the lnaga-
zine- and will go out like very sin-
liar Gits Of birthstone stick aiorctimc.
Bishop Cummins shows a commend.
able ffankness in confessing his con-
vicIions, aud no little courage in act
ing them out; but the outside secular
mind fails 10 discover any new fact
that should lead him to sever his con.
ncction with his church. Things are
no worse in that communion than
they nave been for years, and ii re-
formation is ever to come, it must be
from the efforts Of earnes conscien.
tious men in the church, aud nni
from scccders. If every man who
fluids something he dislikes in the
government we're to throw up his
citizenship and quit tho country, it is
easy 10 calculate the result. Zeal is $
very good commodity, provided
it leads a man to take wha'
is and do his utmost to max.
it what it ought TO be-; but thu
zeal that fares into pr"nunciamemtos
and flies off at a tangent whenever j
comes in contact with anything j
don't ike, may make fash in III,
pan. but wont he likely to do mucl
damage. 1t is not the Go-uuts bu,
the Stay.ins who are doing the work
of the world to-day.

HoaTH MISSOURI INSURANCE co.

The North Missouri insurance com.
pany is dead. Underwriters smile
