A CLERGYMAN MISTAKEN ron A

The Memphis Presbyterian tells the
following story: Travelling in his buggy
alone, not long ago, in going to one Of
bis appointments, one Of our good broth-
rem in the Presbytery Of Memphis over
took a tramp with his carpet-bag in his
hand The roads were muddy, AID he
was just at the time about entering u
miry bottom. With the poliieness for
which he is noted he asked the pedestrian
Can entire stranger) if he would not like
q seat In the buggy, unAl at least, they
had crossed the mud and mire. The in
vtation was readily accepted, and the
conversation was for time free and easy
about things ordinary aud general. Pres
emily, however, the good brother, with a
view TO make the conversation profitable,
asked the stranger if he was ready to die.
Not knowing the character of the person
who invited him to a seat with him, and
misapprehending his meaning, and sus-
pecting foul play, he waited not to reply,
but sprang from the buggy Immediately,
and ran for life through slush and water.
The clerical brother, wishing to assure
the stranger that he meant no harm, call
ed to him at the top Of his voice to stop,
But this only FASTENED bis speed, and
like a scared hare he ran beyend hearing
aud sight. In his hasty flight be left his
carpet-bag which our brother has now in
his possession, being the richer for his
faithfulness by the addition of a coarse
shirt, a pair of threadbare trousers, and
little 'backer.'

GRAND RAPIDS. April 30th, 1873.

writing an interesting letter Grand
Rapids is beautifully situated upon the
banks of the broad river Grand, 40 miles
from Lake Michigan. Surrounded by
high bluffs about one mile apart which
gradually diverge until they disappear
just above and below the town. The city
is the largest in the state. outside Of
Detroit, claiming 20 600 inhabitants.
The view from the tower of the central
school building, 1877 feet high and situa
ted on the highest point of the bluff, is
one of the finest in the state. The sun
was just sinking in the distant waters OF
Lake Michigan. shedding golden tight

work digging out these stones which are
ground up fine, then burned and barreled

an hours rombling and gathering some
choice specimens, which are sold for
