to bring Jphnson's influence to

Rose Leaves.
We stood beside the sleeping hay;
She held my gift-rose in her hand
1t was the last sweet trusting-day.
And then, no for strange far land.
She plucked each tender leaf apart,
And each leaf told its tale to me
Eachleaf a hope torn from my heart
The leaves fell autteling by the sea.
And oft in far-of lands | thought
Of one who never could be mine
Who must be loved, but be unsought-
Twas hard to love and not replne,
Those rose leaves withered on the sand,
But other roses bloom for thee
D lost love in the distant land,

Railway Enterprise in
Russia. al

The London Echo says: "The
rapid increase of railway enter
prise in Russia is one of the
most gratifying proofs of the
progress Of the country. The
zeal with which this novelty is
pursued by the Russian public
seems, according to the journals
of the Empire, to be untem-
pered with discretion. On the
18th (25th) of April last the
day appointed for the receipt
.of subscriptions to the UraI
Railway, the Government bank
was crowded to Su92iocation by
would-be investors. Several la
dies tainted away. and one man
had his arm broken by the crowd.
tits said that instead Of 581, 600
roubles, the sum actually de-
manded, the subscriptions a.
bout 100000 roubles, or a.
bout 130 times more than was
required. This, though prov
ing the confidence of the .peo-
pie in the Government guaran-
tee Give per cent? is bad for
trade owing to the sudden with
drawal of such large sums from
circulation, and the strain on
the banks caused by their pro-
duction. The same eagerness
to subscribe is also apparent at
Moscow. Meantime, the St.
Petersburg BeacS does not see
where the money is to come
from required to pay the inter
est of the &500,000,O00 Russia
will need to complete her rail-
ways"

though the evidence was very full
and the addresses of the counsel

very long and elaborate, the ju,y
six of whom were English and
SIX French-seem to have profit
ed little by their eloquence. The
jury came in after being out for
some time, and informed the
Judge that the six EngIishmen
could not commuuicate with tie
six Frenchmen. An interpre-
ter was given them, and the jury
returned into court fer the. last
time The court demanded their
verdict, in response to which one
Frenchman said: "Mons Nous
seau est non coupable." Another
said, lie verdict est pour Mons

said, Guilty; we find them gull
ty" It was then discovered that
the jury were Ignorant as to wheth-
er the Messrs. Dougall We're the
accused or Mr. Mousseau. His
Honor then demanded OF the iu-
ry whether they 1onnd the defen-
dantF, the Messrs. Dougall, guilty
or notseuilly Of the charge brought
against them All the English

then said: "Your H 10 !, if you

Ministerial Starch.


"That dreadful ministerial starch"
attracts the attention of %Spurgeon,
who says te his brother cIergymen:
aft you have INDUCED in it l would
earnestly advise you to go and wash
in Jordon seven times and get it
out of you, every particle of it. l
am persuaded that one aso why
our workingmen so universally
keep clear of ministers is because
they abhor their artificial and un-
manly ways If they saw us, in
the pulpit and out of it, acting like
real men, and speaking naturally,
like honest men. they would come
around us. Baxter's remark still
holds good: The want of a familiar
tone and expression is Il great fault
in most of our deliveries, and that
which we should be very careful to
amend The vice of the ministry
is that ministers will parsOnyfcate
the Gospel. We must have hu-
manity along with our divinity, if
we would win the masses. Every
body a see through affectations,
and people are not likely TO be
taken in by them. Fling away
your stills, brethren, and walk on
your feet; doff your ecclesiasticism,
and array yourselves in truth.
