GU1zOrs confession OF FAITH.

No one will be surprised to learn that NJ.
Guizot when drawing up his last instruc-
tiOns to his family wished to preface them
by declaration of his Christian faith.
The first page of his will reads thus:
81 die in the bosom of the Reformed
Christian Church of France, in which l
was born and in which congratulate my
self on having been born. In remaining
always connected with her exercised the
liberty of conscience which she allows her
members in their relations with God, and
which she herself invoked in establishing
herself. examined, doubted, believed
that the strength of the human mind was
sufficient to solve the problem presented by
the universe and man, and that the strength
of the human will was sufficient TO regulate
mans life according to its law and to its
moral end. After having long lived, acted
and reflected, L remained and still remain
convinced that the universe and man are
neither of them sufficient to explain and
regulate themselves naturally by the mere
force of fixed laws which preside over them
and of the human wills which are brought
into play. 1t is my profound belief that
God, who created the universe and man,
governs and preserves or modifies
them, whether by those general
laws which we call natural laws,
whether by special acts which we
call supernatural, emanating, like the
general laws, from His perfect and free wis
dom and from His infinite power, which
He has enabled US to recognize in their eff
fects and forbids us from being acquainted
with in their essence and design. / thus
returned to the conviction in which l was
Graded, always firmly attached to the per-
son and liberty which have received from
God, and which are my honor as well rs
my right on the earth, but again feeling
myself a child in Gods hands, and sin
cerely resigned to so large share Of igno-
rance and weakness. believe in God and
adore Him, without attempting to compre-
bend Him. L see him present and acting
not only in the permanent government
of the universe and in the innermOst
life of mems souls, but in the history of hui
man societies, especially in the Old and
New estaments-monuments Of the Di-
vine Revelation and action by the media
ton and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ,
for the saliva ion of the human race. l bow
before the mysteries of the Bible and the
Gospel, and hold alOof from scientific dis
cussion and solutions, by which men have
to explain them. l trust that
God permits me 20 call myself Christian,
and am convinced that in the light which
1 am about to enter, we shall fully discern
the purely human origin and vanity of most
of our disssensions here below on divine
things"

THE CAREER OF A REMARKABLE
VILLAIN.

An interesting and romantic story comes
from Hungary, the hero being a robber
chief who by the use of his sharp wits
managed to become the darling of society
and leader in politics. If it had not been
for timely discoveries he might have taken
a seat in the Hungarian Parliament. As
it is, after la.Iguishing in Jail for six years,
he has finally been sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment at hard labor. His first ap-
pearance in reputable society was in 1858,
when he succeeded in obtaining employ
ment as bailiff for rich widow. A year
after he married beautiful lady of noble
birth. Taking an active part in the
peculiar public affairs of Hungary, and
appearing as popular agitator, many per-
sons compared him to the late baron
Nicolaus WeSselenqui, the blind agitator.
Taking hint from this fancied reSem-
blance, he laid scheme for fortune which
for time worked admirably. He in
formed his wife that he was an Legitimate
son Of the baron's, and she spread the story
in good faith. This added greatly to his
reputation, and emboldened him TO insti-
tute lawsuit against the Legitimate chill
dren OF the baron, who were minors, fo- a
large sum with interest. Aided by forged
papers and lax judiciary, be won. Trans
ferring the scene of his operations to an
other part of Hungary, he was equally sue
eessful in obtaining popularity, for which,
quite as much as for money, his soul seemed
to yearn. The correspondent of a London
paper says:
"To make himself still more interesting
the adventurer caused hints to transpire
sub rosa that his mother was no other than
the late Countess Blanka Teleki, the most
celebrated of the numerous ladies of the
hungarian aristOcracy, who laying aside
all feminine restraint, interfered openly in
politics. A passionate speaker in favor of
radicalism, she harrangued the crowds in
the public squares of Klausenburg and
Maros-V aSarhely. A lady of this type was
not supposed TO be overburdened with NOR
atty, and it therefore seemed by no means
improbable when he claimed her as his
mother, and declared she had told him the
secret ofhis birth in 1916, at Maros-Va.ar-
hely, and on the same occasion handed over
the documents relating to il.
His political prospects we're at their
brightest when the baIon's heirs, who
prov ed his Nemesis, succeeded after patient
effort in proving his identity with Gregory
Balla, noted robber who escaped from
prison in 1854. With infinite trouble he
was arrested, his whole nefarious career
was fully exposed, and justice at last,
though it would seem reluctantly, tri-
umphed.
