AGAR Ride NV Moonlight.

The other night, was the most pleas
ant ride we have had this season, ex-
cepting, perhaps, night we spent on
Lake Michigan, when the glorious
orb oE night was out in all her efful-
gent splendor. But our car ride was
on night when the moon was not
putting on its brightest smile. but
shone in vague, mystical way, con-
veying to one the impression that it
had some hidden, mysterious reason
for not coming out any brighter. and
which always begets in one a cores
ponding mysterious feeling feeling
which causes every object animate to
become possessed of a purpose to do
some unlooked-for thing that would
be rather out of the regular order,
and every thing inanimate to take on
like strange influence.
The fog hung just above the earth,
and across the meadow land it formed
itself into a perfect lake, as natural as
any real lake you ever saw, with a
clump of timber for distance, and the
right foreground studded with small
undergrowth-a place for fairies to
besport themselves, and poets fancy to
liHger. We were reminded of Thomp-
son Dream of Fair Weather" where
the two lovers came out of the wood,
stepped into boat and pushed into
the stream, the lady singing, with
harp accompaniment, SO loudly and
sweetly that the great long legged
birds tip-toej it on the sand, and
stretched their necks to listen. Anon
we would plunge into a dense forest,
and all would be silent and dark save
an occasional CLEAN of moonlight
through broken place in the mass OF
foliage, upon the trunk of tree, or an
occasional glimpse of the azure vault
serene above. This was a place for
dark and bloody deeds, and We thought
of the character in the novel Eve don I
remember what one now) who went
into the woods, waylaid man and
killed him. Then we would emerge
again into the light, and the trees
would stretch their long shadows out
into the pasture as if bent on holding
sway over the moonlight as long as
ever they ceuid-until the man with
the club. roaming about their trunks,
had time enough to do his work and
escape undiscovered. Ye are great,
but undiscriminatiDg protectors, oh
trees! Through storm and wind OF
the elements as well as through the
storm and wind of mems passions, you
spread abroad, just the same, your
protecting care.
Herses, half seen through the fog,
stood silently grazing upon the rich
pasturage; and without noise or appa-
rent life, small focks of geese fioated
down the stream from under the
bridge over which we rolled with
muf1ed roar. Turning our sight in
ward, we were soon in a sleep, of
strange and fantastic dreams.

White Water Presby terry.

Quite an interesting report of the
proceedings Of this religious body,
which held its session at Liberty; on
the 18th ult.. appears in the Herald of
the 2sd. Encouraging reports from a
majority of the different churches
comprising the Presbytery, embracing
the counties Of Wayne, Union, Fay
cite, Franklin, Dearborn, Rush, Shell
by and Henry, were received. In
this city Elder NJ. Zeller reported the
church in a healthy condition-they
love their pastor (Rev. l. M. Hughes)
and have prosperous Sabbath School.
At Cambridge, Rev. l. NJ. Monfort
reports, that the church building
there is improved by the erection of a
tower-that the members, though
poor, are excellent workers in the
church-that the stoppage of the Cam
bridge City Car Works had reduced
many to want, and prospects looked
gloomy for the people, and that con-
sequently the pecuniary condition of
the church was worse than ever be-
fore.
Rev. Geo. Sluter, in remarks to
those who are responding said, some
of the very best men have had things
to discourage them. Remember the
kingdom of Heaven cometh not by OBJ
servation. Let us not be weary in
well doing. We as Presbytery have
reason to thank God and take courage.
Rev. [. w. Monfort spoke of a hand
full of wheat taken from a mummy
that increased year after year until, as
it were. it filled the whole land. So
it lie with the word of God. A day
with the lord is as. a thousand years,
and a thousand years as day. Gods
ways are not as man s ways, nor His
thoughts as our thoughts. God will
bless in His own way all faithful
work. Rev. j. Dudley said, referring
to one advanced in years, that this
brother fought forty years in the min
istry was a sufficient work
Mr.. D. himself had recently heard of
good seed springing up into glorious
life, where twenty-five years ago it
seemed that it had fallen on stony
ground One who was recently con-
verified. referred the beginning of his
serious thought to words uttered long
years ago, in what he pronounced then
a poor sermon.
The next meeting Of Presbytery
was appointed for the I'd Tuesday in
April, 1876, at a p. m.

A special from Winterset, Iowa,
to the State Register, says that the
fine court house in that place, com
paratively new, and costing $780,
600, was burned Saturday. The
fire broke out in the upper story of
the east wing at IL 20 a. M, and in
thirty minutes the dome, reaching
40 feet in the air, went with q
crash into the court room, and in
an hour the fire had finished it's
work, and nothing was left but the
gloomy ruins. The prisoners in
the Jail, in the basement of the
court house, were all rescued, and
the county records were all saved.
The building was uninsured. No
lives were lost, and the fire extend
ed no further.

Presidential Prospects.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--The Herald
this morning, in an editorial under the
caption political Consequences of the
Late Elections" gives list of Demo-
cratic and Republican States, with the
number of electors 70 ..liich each is en-
titled to show the present political
situation. As regards the Presidential
contest the Democratic States are Ala
bama, Arkansas, California. Connecti-
cut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Ken
lucky. Louisiana, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Missouri, New York, New Hamp-
shire, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia aud
West Virginia, with total electoral
vote Of 1873. The remainder are Re-
publican States, nineteen in oil, which
have total electoral vote of ISL.
This shows that the next Presidential
election will be close and doubtful, and
one of the most strenuous and exciting
that has ever occurred in the history OF
our politics. Judged by the latest cleo
tons in all the States, the Democratic
party would elect the next President
by majority Of seven, but that will
be easily wiped out if the Republicans
carry Ohio next October-the moral ef-
feet Of a triumph there three weeks in
advance of the great contest being worth
at least fifty electoral votes to the party
which shall carry that State. The Re.
publicans have merely to keep what
they have won last month to give them
the ascendancy in Ohio in October,
1876, and carry off the Presidential
prize; but if they lose Ohio. the election
Of Democratic President would be in
eyitable.
