A Thriving Town,

The editor of the Mineral Point
Tribune, happened at Boscobel the
other day while on his roands coll
Letting for Uncle Sam. He thus
writes of the growth ard prospects
of the city
"Few villages in the state seem to
be more prosperous than Boscobel.
After an absence of four years we
found more Improvement there than
in any place we have visited. The
principal business street is a model
of neatness and thrift. Though
scarce half the size of Mineral Point,
| Boscobel outstrips us in many re
spects. She has two banks, three
hotels-two Of them superior to any
thing we have--a stave factory,
steam planning mill, excellent grist
mill, and minor things on which we
cannot boast. The present season
several new buildings are going up,
the mos. important of which are Nc.
Spaden's Elevator and Bobel's Hotel.
The latter, when finished, will be
second to no house in southweste
Wisconsin, and will have few equals.
Most of our former acquaintances we
found prospecting with the town, and
generally happy. The people of
Boscobel understand better than
most people the Importance of good
roads, and have expended large sums
in improving the highways leading
into their place. A new bridge
across the Wisconsin river is to be
built the present year"
THEPT.-The Galena Gazette says:
The till of Warden, Esq, merchant
at Fairplay, was robbed of fifteen
dollars a few days ago. While the
clerk sat in the door, Jack Craig.
miner, passed into the store, saying
that be was going TO get pipe-full
Of tobacco. Soon after he left. the
clerk lad occasion to go to the draw
er for change, and found that fifteen
dollars had been taken out Craig
started soon after to leave town, but
was followed up and arrested. On
ly ten dollars was found on his per-
son, he having, probably, expended
the balance. For want of positive
proof Craig was discharged. After
the trial be left town Immediately

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
DIR. CHALMERS IN GLASGOW.

Mr.. EditOr,-I have lately read with
much interest "The Life of the Rev. Will
liam Anderson, Ii. D., of Glasgow" by
George Gilfllan. DR.. Anderson was a
young man at the time that Dr. Chalmers
came to Glasgow, and became frequent,
if not constant attendant on his ministry.
Many marvellous accounts have been pub
lshed of the effects of DR.. Chalmers preach
ing, but have seen nothing on the subject
which has more impressed me than the de-
scription Mr. Gilfllan has incidentally given
in the volume now before me. l transcrbe
passage for your columns, which l feel
sure will interest the reader alike for its sub
iect and its literary attractions:
"There was another influence at that
time which did vast deal more to quicken
Auderson's thinking, feeling. and speaking
powers-we refer to that of Chalmers
That man like Thomas Chalmers entering
large city even now, would produce sud
den and startling effect, may be granted; !;
but there were circumstances at the time OF
his appearance in Glasgow which surrounded
/ him with an interest and invested him with
a power which could never be repeated. He
came TO the West, if not from sick bed,
vet with the memory of great illness, in
Guiding in it a great sorrow and a severe
spiritual conflict, and which was still by him
self profoundly felt and painfully revolved.
He came a new man, so far as new views of
religion, new habits of life and new schemes
of Christian action might constitute one a
new creature. He came in the prime Of
life, with youth hardly faded into manhood,
and with the entire possession of his Won
drous facu,ties-held, however, not IN the
cold grasp of a perfected culture, but IN the
hot hand of eager enthusiasm and holy zeal.
i He came from a country parish, where his
audience was often neither numerous nor
congenial, to the capital of the West, which
was prepared to receive and eager to vel
come him, not merely as popular novelty
but as a great spiritual power. Artistically
theologicalEy, and philosophically, he haC
many deficiencies, but, like spots on the sun
they were drowned in the efulgence of hi
summer glory; and it may be said, almOs
without figure, that the entire city of Glas
cow turned like planet round the sola'
blaze and strong attraction of Chalmers
pulpit.
We'have met men who heard him in thOs
days, and who have assured us that Ito US

Church, and accomplishing Of her work, de
pendS at las, not upon the large offerings o
the few who may be able to cast in of theil
wealth, but on the combined liberality o.
those whose limited means restrict their gifts
to sums SO snail as often to seem in then
own estimation unworthy to be offered. On
the contrary, could our Christian people be
pursuaded to believe the truth, and each one
offer out of his abundance or his penury as
as his heart ctates and his means permit,
the treasurygOf the Lord would soon be full,
and the various branches Of evangelical prep
aration and labor would be free from embar-
rassment on this account,s
May we not then hope that when this cause
is laid before our churches as recommended
by our Assembly on the irst Sabbath in No.
vember, or some convenient day about that
time, each one of our ople will feel it a
privilege to give sometif J, even though un-
able to give largely. 2 Lord accepts the

Chalmers of the Iron Church and the
Astronomical Sermons. There was then
about him Pythonic inspiration of genius,
an abandonment of manner, a fiery force
and rush of speech, an entire possession OF
his whole body and soul by his ideas and
feelings, which they never saw approached
by any other man, and seldom, if ever, after
wards even by himself. Particularly, besides
one or two of his Astronomical DiscourseS,
they signalized his sermon on the Death of
the Princess Charlotte This was hurried
production, and, as composition, it hardly
stands the test, but its effect when delivered
was prodigiOus In proposing at the close,
instead of the motto, "Let Glasgow -four
ish," to substitute its original form, Let
Glasgow flourish by the preaching Of the
Word" he seemed absolutely to 60 out of
himself; and his audience too, whether they
were in the body or out of it, could not for
season tell. In vain now to read the SER
mon to seek renewal of the effect 1T pro-
duced-as vain as to seek for meteorlc tlre
in the cold jelly which it leaves upon the
ground. Chalmers in this shares the fate
although perhaps, in less measure-of
such orators as Demosthenes, Chatham and
Fox. Their effects were produced by vari-
Gus elements-their personal appearance,
their speaking countenances, their tones of
voice, their action, and their words. In the
printed form the words alone remain, cold
memorials Of the perished power.
Some great preachers only burst upon
their hearers like apparitions on the Sabbath
day, and produce a great impression; then
retire to their studies, and are not visible till
the Sabbath again recurs. Very different
with Chalmers. For several days in the be
ginning of the week he was to be seen in
the Gallow-gate, Saltmarket, and elsewhere,
all bustling with benevolence, climbing creak
ing staircases, plunging into dirty closes,
diving into cellars, examining schools, lifting
the sneck of novels and garrets, 'expatiating
among the sick and the dying, finging him
self abroad over his district with an enthu-
siasm of humanity which to many seemed
madness, and returning to his dwelling to
organize hundred schemes of phianthropic
and Christian nterprise-himself the Orig
mating impulse and the sustaining soul of all
of them K.

Neighbors' Thistles.

A person was once walking with a farmer
through beautiful field, when he happened
to see tall thistle on the other side of the
fence. In a second over the fence he jump
ed, and cut it off close to the ground.
"IS that your feld?" asked his compan-
ion. "Oh, no" said the farmer; bad weeds
do not care much for fences; and if l should
leave that thistle to blossom in my neighbor's
field, l should soon have plenty of my
own"
Evil weeds in your neighbOr's field will
scatter seeds of evil in your own; therefore
every weed pulled up in your neighbOr's field
is dangerous enemy driven off from your
own. No one liveth or dieth to himself
All are linked together.
Sages of old contended that no sin was
ever committed whose consequences rested
on the head Of :he sinner alone that. no
man could do ill, and his feIL2ws not suffer.
They illustrated it thus: GA vessel sailing
from JOppa carried passenger, who, beneath
his berth, cut hole through the ships side.
When the men of the watch expostulated
with him, what doest thou, O miserable
man? ? the offender calmly replied, What
matters it to you? The hole l have made
lies under my own berth. >"
This ancient parable is worthy of the ut
most consideration. No man perishes alone
in his iniquity; no man can guess the full
consequences of his transgreSsion.

Renaissance of DR.. Guthrie.

While the parish was thus carefully Wis.,
tied by the parochial agency apart from the
minister, he was also himself diligent in Wis.,
iting; and, in no field of labor was his tact
more apparent than in this work of vista
ton. He was quite equal to any emergency.
For example, one day when visiting, he
came to the door of an Irish Papist, who
was determined that the Doctor should not
enter his house. "You cannot come in
here" said he; "you're not needed nor
wanted" "My FRIEND" said the Doctor,
"Im only visiting round my parish to be-
come acquainted with my people, and have
called on yOu-only as parishiOner. "It
don't matter" said Paddy, "yOu shan't
come in here ;" and with that, lifting the
poker, he said, "If you come in here, I'll
knock you down." Most men would have
retired, or tried to reason; the Doctor did
neither, but drawing himself up to his full
height, and looking the Irishman fair in the
face, he said, Come, now, that's too bad!
Would you strike man unarmed? Hand
me the tongs, and then we shall be on equal
terms" The man looked at him for little
in great amazement, and then said, "Och
shure, yer quare man for minister! Come
inside" and feeling rather ashamed of his
conduct, he laid down the poker. The
Doctor entered and talked, as he could so
well do, in way both so entertaining and so
as to win the admiration Of the
man, SO that when he rose to go, Paddy
shook his hand warmly and said, "Be sure,
sir, don't pass my door without giving me a
call. 1t will not be wondered at that
man who could thus break down the opposi-
ton of an enemy should have been respected
and loved by many warm heart, and have
found few homes in his parish where his visits
were unwelcomed.-FTe Herald.
