A PETITION to the Legislature
has been circulated among and
signed by many citizens of this
County, asking necessary legisla-
ton to increase the salary Of the
District Attorney. AS it is, he
gets $3.50 per annum, which is
rather small pay for any able law
yer. While we are greatly averse
to augmenting County expenses,
we consider the above a reasona-
BILE request and hope it will meet
with favorable legislative action.
A good attorney can save his
County great deal of avoidable
expenditure, and good work de-
serves compensation-nOthing ex-
horbitant, but only fair, honest
compensation.

A Danger Of Forgetting.

In our anxiety to secure educational ad-
vantages to the ministry, we are in danger
of forgetting. or placing in the background,
the primary. indispensable qualification
which made the preaching of the fathers a
power capable of shaking the world and of
revoutionizing society. Without all ex-
tensive knowledge of books, they knew God,
his Word, and the experience of his grace.
Without this same knowledge of God enter
ing into and permeating our life, our words,
however elegant or eloquent, will be as sound
ing brass or tinkling cymbal. They will be
dead words, entirely incapable of stirring
or arousing the people to a sense of sin and
Judgment. The words that are quick and
powerful, and that become discerners of the
thoughts and intents of the heart, must pro-
ceed from souls glowing with the love of
Christ and filled with the Holy Ghost. In
this divine unction the preacher in all ages
will find his grand resource. In proportion
as he possesses this qualification will he have
power over the consciences of men, and will
be able to lead them to the cross. Men are
not reached through the head. Your intel.
lect does not preach half so eifectually as
your life, The gospel you bear must be
illustrated and made visible to men in your
tone and temper; in your deep devotion to
the service of the Lord Jesus in the intense
glow and steady, consuming esrnestness of
your spiritual life. The outward address to
the ear men are able easily to resist, but
they yield to the divine persuasiveness of the
life. The human nature that refuses to be
pedagogical to duty is easily warmed into
religion. Heat has greater moulding power
than light.-Zions Herald
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1877-10-03

The development of active energies is an
easy task but to be gentle as Christ was
gentle, "in meekness to instruct these who
oppose themselves" to make ones self Of
no reputation, this is difficult task for
this sets aside the high spirit of man, that
the Spirit of Christ may rule in other things.
1t is such an easy step from leading the
people like flock to lording it over Gods
heritage so natural after judging'for ones
self to judge the consciences OF others also /;
SO easy to forget that the angelic tongue may
turn 10 poor tinkling cymbal, and all tn at
knowledge and all that faith become nothing
the moment charity collapses. Arrogance,
chickering's, cliques, dogmatsns, jealousies--
what have they who speak of holiness to do
with unclean things like these Nor must
1t be overlooked that the qualities which fit
men to be leaders expose them to danger OF
such assumption, grounded upon strength of
will. And precisely here are some of the
most difficult of conquests called for.-Miss
Smiley.

never be carried into the detailed technics
OF a speciality. II preacher knows his
Bible well, he is ready for any opponent
from Porphyry to Strauss. Mems affec-
tions, not their intellects, are the hindrances
to Gods truth, and accordingly II the con.
test can be brought into the intellectual
field, and so relieve the heart from the pres
sure of spiritual truth, men are satisfied.
The Bible is Gods attack on the heart, and
preachers lose all their vantage when they
prefer mems attack on the intellect. Any
putting of the man before his message is a
detraction from the majesty of the Word
A direct egotism in dogmatic assertion, or
an indirect egotism in the parade of learn
log on the part of the preacher j, an ob.
scuration of the Scriptures. He should act
as the disciples who took the loaves from
the Master and distributed them TO the mul.
titude. His humility would point the hearer
TO the common source whence he, as well as
they derived their spiritual food. 1t is not
what DIR. This or Professor That says which
edifies the church, but what the Holy Ghost
saith, and every one who occupies the high
position of teacher in the church should
beware of species of blasphemy equally in
uttering human dicta as the Word of God,
and in uttering the Word of God as If ii
were human dicta.-Dr. Ho,oard Crosby in
Edinburgh Council

A Test OF Affection.

A certain young lady, possessing more
than ordinary accomplishments for her class
of life-being the daughter of poor but re-
spectacle parents--on the death of wealthy
relative, recently, became entitled to eight
thousand pounds. When the glad tidings
reached the ears of her neighbors, many
warm admirers focked around the hitherto
neglected beauty, and there was no end to
the overtures of love. Previous to the turn
of fortunes wheel, young man of humble
pretensions had been the young lady's only
suitor, but the knowledge of her wealth at
once placed a formidable barrier in his way
and he contented himself with being a silent
worshipper at distance. Matters ultimately
came to a crisis. and, in order to test the
affection of her devotees, the young lady
caused a report to be circulated that the sup
posed fortune was, in reality, only sham,
the mistake having occurred through a simi.
larity of name. The intelligence had the
effect of causing the visits of the lovers to
become less frequent, and finally cease alto
gether. The humble youth rejoiced at the
change, and at once took the opportunity to
console the mistress of his heart, who to the
surprise of all, rewarded his sincerity with
her hand, and made him sole master of the
eight thousand pounds.-Limerick (Ireidnd)
Times.

My Substitute.

When | was boy at school, saw sight
that | never can forget-a man tied to
cart, and dragged before the peoples eyes
through the streets of my native town, his
back torn and bleeding from the lash. 1t
was shameful punishment. For many Of
fences No, for one offence Did any of
the townsmen offer to divide the lashes
with him ? No; he who committed the Of
fence bore the penalty of changing human
law--for it was the last instance of its in
Fiction. "When | was student at the uni
versity saw another sight never can for
