Rev. Robert Collyer, Of Chicago, en-.
tiers upon his duties as minister of the
Church Of the Messiah, in this city, to-
morrow. He comes with a well-earned
fame as preacher, lecturer and pastor.
The story Of his life has been told and
does not need repetition. A Yorkshire
blacksmith, getting the rudimentss of an
education he knows not where, but feed
ing his hunger for knowledge by reading
books while blowing the bellows, he
came to this country a young man, with
the future in his heart in the STRINGS of
q hope and ambition for better things
than hisold home could give. He found
work near Philadelphia, and for seven
years preached on Sundays ina Methodist
Church, while supporting his family by
six days toll at the forge, putting in all
the study meanwhile he could make
time for. His views had broadened
meanwhile, and, wearying Of the double
strain upon his mind and body, he ac-
cepted q call to a mission church in
Chicago. There in a little while he
gathered q large congregation, and pres
entity became one of the noted preachers
Of the city, and his church was sought
out by visitors. He has had a prosperous
ministry there Of twenty years, and has
e1ertad 4 great and ~heneHeent influence
ia the city and West. And this has
come very largely from the fact that lie
has not been bound in the harness and
driven III the treadmill of a sect, but has

minister at large. The whole city was
his parish. He was interested in eyery-
thing that concerned the public interests
and welfare. He was the leader OF every
movement, patriotic oF literary or charit-
able, looking toward the public benefit.
He was known to everybody, was hail
fellow we'll met with everybody, and was
eyerybodv's minister, while performing
his own parish work, and studying hard,
aud preaching and writing at the top OF
his powers. And in this way he became
s vital Christian force In the city and
state. Whether he will be able to re-
neat this public work here IS q question
F time and circumstances To answer.
There IS need Of sUeh q ministry. And

Homo Life in Rornl Households.

National Eeposltory.I
Home privacy, even in royal house
holds, was almost unknown. There was
Ia lack Of family sentiment, but it was
hidden under the DISCUSSES of etiquette.
Before and behind the scenes home life
belonged to the public. In the time Of
Louis XIV SO great was the number OF
courtiers that thronged w the bed
chamber of the king that they came in
installments to assist or to behold the
process of a~ttiring the royal person for
the day. Among these we're pages whose
only duty was to fill a certain corner or
to supply q gap in the artistic arrange
ment Of the group. The sole duty of
h was to stand ready, in case he should
be needed, to wheel the armchair Of the
king, and Of another to present the
baskets Of c~aryats, from which his
majesty was to choose. And these were
only three of the minor salaried posts, OF
which there was no less than one hun
1red and seventy, pertaining to the per-
son of the king. And the one hundred
and seventy were only a thirtieth part
Of the total number of persons that COM
prised the civil household alone, to say
nothing Of twice the latter Number in
the military household, making from
twelve to fifteen thousand people in the
service of the king, and subsisting on the
public funds.
In Louis XVps time there were some
changes, but it was not much better. A
few private and personal economies on
his part were not a balance for the im-
mense expenditure of the ceremonial life
Of his predecessors. In 1876 there were
still one hundred andffty pages at court,
and a pages coat Of crimson velvet, en-
broidered with gold in every seam, with
his feathers and Spanish point-lace, cost
fifteen hundred livres; and, when the
unfortunate Louis desired to reform his
court in these particulars, he was ac-
cused Of acting like a bourgeois"
And that which royalty demanded of
the sovereign, title and rank demanded

:, II Tuegy thing for lawyers who ate
much sought to for Opinions" that
they can occasionally give a piece of wis
dom not their own. There is a good
story told ofthe hit Roger Sherman once
made by taking advantage Of this priVi-
lege.
An honest farmer once called upon
the celebrated lawyer and told him he
wanted an opinion. He had heard q
great deal about the value of Mr.. Sher-
mans opinions, and how q great many
people went to him to get an opinion,
and. John, who never had, nor was likely
to have a lawsuit or other difficulty for
a lawyer to help him from, thought he
would have an " opinion"
Well, John, what can I do to help
your said Mr.. S, when John, inhis turn,
was shown into the room.
"NFhy, lawyer" replied John, 81
happened to be in town, and having
nothing to do, | thought | would come
and get your opinion
Estate your case, John. What's the
matter?'
ooh, nothing. amt got no lawsuit.
| only want to get n Of your opinions.
They say they're valuable"
"But, John, about what?'
ooh, anything, sir; take your pick
and choice"
Mr.. Sherman, seeing the notions of his
client on the matter in hand, took pen,
and writing a few words, folded them up
and handed them to John, who carefully
placed them in his pocEcf
whats to pay, STRIP
"EFoura Yankee money,
seventy-five cents.
When John returned home the next
morning, he found his wife, who pretty
much took the lead in his business mat
tiers, a~nxiously discussing with his chief
farm servant the propriety of getting in
d large quantity Of oats on that day
which had been cut on the previ0us,Sor
of undertaking some other labor.
John was appealed to to settle the
question, but he could not decide. At
length he said, "PH tell you what,
Polly, I've been to a lawyer and got an
opinion that cost me four and si~xpenee.
There tits; read her out. It's a lawyers
writing and | can't make head or tailout
of It'll"
John, by the way, could not read the
plalnest print, but Polly, who was some
thing Of a scholar, opened the paper, and
read as follows: "Neyer put off till to-
morrow what can be done to-day"
/" Enough said!" cried John. "Them
oats must be got in." And fhey were
" got in,' and the same night such a
storm came on rs otherwise would have
ruined Them entirely.
John often afterwards consulted the
opinion, and acted upon it.
