Whereas, tho Rev. q. p. Mccarthy, in tho hearing

ana whereas hc has already commenced such suit

for matters in which hc believed him guilty. the said
Mccarthy thereby 0bstructiug tho processes OF the
committee by illuminating Witnesses and threatening
all who take any part In the inception or trial OF this
case OF discipline.
We therefore decide that his position is one OF dis

and glories of his eternal kingdom.
It is in that dispensation, that the
things mystically foreshown by the
Tabernacle structure and the Taberna-
Gle furniture will be made real" The
Bible begins its marvellous record with
Genesis, or an account of new world
and likewise ends its Wondrous story
with q description of a new or rene1ced
world; and the Divine Presence that
dWeltin symbol between the cherubims
at the east of the gates of Eden, to
whom Adam brought his sacrifices af-
ter the fall, and from which Cain fed
on account Of his crime of murder,
who also went before Israel in the Tab
ernacle and in the cloudy pillar, and
again dwelt among men in the temple
of humanity is seen, when the ''mys-
terry Of God is finished" and the liking
dom is delivered up" or rescued back to
God, upon the throne of the redeemed
paradise surrounded by the countless
throngs Of redeemed Worshipers now
without fault before the throne, and
serving him day and night in his tenn
pie. And [ John saw q new heaven
and new earth; for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea. And I
John saw the holy city,new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband. And I heard a great voice
out Of heaven saying, Behold the t0beq-

dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God. And God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain; for the former
things are passed away. Rev. 21:1-4.

The Carriage Horse.

The horse large enough and i'll every
way suitable for a carriage is at the
same time q good horse for the farm
er's use, and for all purposes. The
carriage horse needs size-1150 to
1900, and with such substance he is q
very respectable farm or team horse,
and naturally is good roadster. The
following from an article on this sub
iect is from the Kentucky Lice Stock
Record: "TO gain style, finish and ga
mey coach teams it is necessary to
have a strong infusion Of the thorough
bred blood. Many trotting sires seat
tered through the State Of Kentucky p0-
sess all the requisites to breed the fine
coach and coupe horse; but we cannot
name them for fear Of giving offense
to some extremely sensitive people
But Wha5 is wanted in a sire Of
coach horses is plenty Of substance,
deep and we'll proportional body,
strong and clean bone under the open
knee, sound and tough feet, with fine
and keen action, lifting their feet high
and ranging in height from fifteen to
sixteen and half hands. 1t will not
be out of place to say that Alexandea's
Edwin Forrest and his descendants
furnish the best specimens Of this
kind OF horse We have had for years.
This strain mingled with mares p0-
sessing a strong infusion Of thorough
bred blood would make most capital
cross, and produce an elegant and sty-
fish coach and harness horse.
The great difficulty in matching hor-
SEES or finding a pair Of good matched
horses is well known to dealers. Sin
gle horses of some style and finish can
be found, but the great difficulty is in
matching them, This is owing to the
miscellaneous way in which horses
have been bred for the last twenty
years. A team matched,sixteen hands
high, well made, with style and finish,
are hard to find, and command a fancy
price; whereas five and twenty years
ago any number of such teams could
be picked up in Kentucky. Another
cause of this lack Of coacbers is the
mania for breeding trotters, which
have been bred far beyond their de-
mand. If farmers will turn their at
tentiOn to breeding fine coach horses,
they will find d ready market, save the
they annually incur in devel-
oping the speed Of young trotters, and
do themselves and the State a great
profit
This suggestion applies to the Wes-
tern States quite as well as to Ken
lucky

The cultivation of the sweet potato
in some Of our Northern States is
steadily increasing. This year the crop
raised in Glastonbury, CT, was quite
large one and In every way was a sue
cess. One farmer reports yield Of
twenty bushels from five rods of land
or at the rate Of $40 Bushels to the
acre. The potatoes were as dry and
sweet as most of the potatoes that find
their way to our Northern markets.
Many others report large yields Of
extra fine sweet potatoes.

"I FRAY FOR VOL"

The future may be dreary,
And bring me toll and pain,
My heart may oft be weary,
My cup no sweet sustain.
But when the darkest hours appear
Ny heart will turn to thee,
And cast away its doubt and fear,
For you 3UilJ pr0yfOr me!
The friendsiI love may leave me,
Be called away by death;
Or even may deceive me
Prove false as fleeting BREATH
But you will never wound my heart,
Will never prove untrue,
For ever to my memory start
The words, I pray for you"
My life may have its pleasures,
It's bright and happy hours,
When earth will bring her treasures,
And strew my path with flowers;
But nothing can such joy afford
AS once my spirit knew.
w utI o4GgllIS w SOu1 DINt03 41NtoAo
Those words, pray for you"
When on life's stormy ocean
The pillows round me rise,
In fierce and wild commotion,
And hope of succor flies,
My heart with all its thoughts extend
cross that vapiDugSna
Until they cling around the friend
Who said, 81 pray for thee"
@ may those prayers attend me
Through every scene Of life
From evil to defend me
To be my shield in strife,
And when the life long fight is DER,
Tn imprisoned spirit free,
Upon that bright, sclestial shore
May you still pray for me.

Following is q brief sketch of the
life Of J. Henry Meiggs, the great con
tractor, whose death in Peru, has just
been announced by telegraph. Mr..
Meiggs was born at Catskill, n. Y. He
made a fortune in the lumber business
in New York city, but lost it in the
panic Of 1887. In 1848 he went to
San Francisco, and engaged in the
same trade employing a large num-
Der Of men. His immense business
was Frustrated by the panic in 1854,
and to save himself he res0rted to
questionable proceedings which obliged
him to secretly leave the State. He
next turned up in Chill, South Ameri-
ca, where he took an enormous rail-
road contract, making a profit i'll one
year Of $1,326,000. subsequently en-
terpriSes connected with railroad build
ing increased his fortune, and he set
tied his Indebtedness in California
The Legislature of that State, by
special act, restored him his citizen
ship, and invited him to return. His
South American railway contracts
were on a stupendous scale, exceeding
the most famous builders Of Europe or
America. In 1870 he contracted with
Peru to build six railways for $685.
