The Presbyterian Church.

The Baltimore Weekly Presbyterian gives
the following report of the first sermon
preached by the Reverend gentleman after
receiving his new title: 1t says: The Rev.
Thomas L. Poulson, D. D., in a sermon last
Sabbath, from the text, Ye younger sub
nit yourselves unto the elder" on the
Presbyterian Church, he inaccurately stated
that tie Presbyterian body is divided into
Old and New School, on account of differ.
ence of interpreting the Westminster As
sembly's Confession of Faith. In the course
of his sermon he said: The Presbyterian
Form of Church Government is claimed to
be very ancient. No doubt in Eden this
was the order-submission of the younger
to the elder. When Cain broke away from
this polity he became an Independent.
This was the order in Israel, as instituted
by Moses. This order is the original type
of Protestant organization. The catechism
is well fortified and illustrated by Scriptural
texts. The Presbyterians give special
prominence to law, conscience and duty.
They are more sober on week days, and
more solemn on Sundays than many others.
| There is more sobriety, solemnity and de.
corum in the Presbyterian Church than in
any other. They are not apt to emphasize
a profession that is not illustrated by 9
scrupulous performance of duty. They are
specially fraternal in spirit, recognizing
other Christians as members of the spiritual
| Church of Christ. They concede the right
! of private judgment in all matters that re
spect religion, and that good men may diff
fer with regard to many truths and forms
They admit all to communion with them
who renounce their sins, depend upon the
atonement of Christ for pardon and accept
ance with God, and are determined to leaC
a holy and Cody life. They take specia
care of the children. In essentials all tru'
Christians are in harmony with this Church
In non. n.essential this Church sets good ex

residence in Syracuse he has caught more than two
hundred runaway horses, saving many lives by his
destruction. Mr.. Findley IS an unassuming young
man. but his bravery is appreciated by the public
He was born in Albany, and came to Syracuse some
eighteen years ago. Although only twenty-three
years old, he has wife and family, and has served
five years at his trade as carriage painter. About
twelve years ago Findly began catching runaway

the frightened, maddened horse daShing furiously

The spectators all rushed out of the way, and dray
men and hackmen ran to place of safety. Findley
saw in instant that the occupants of the wagon
would be killed if they thrown against the train
of cars. Without hesitGting moment he planted
himself directly in front of the maddened beast and
sprang at his head. He threw the horse down, and
although the wagon was overturned, the occupants
were uninjured. save by mere scratches.

that when the Indians inhabited that Sec

the young warriors should abstain from the
use of liquor until they had arrived at a
certain age. On one occasion the chief
known as " Black Eagle" had been indulg

young warrior by showing him how he
could drink the " Nectar of the Gods"
which he (the young brave) could not take.
Whereupon the young blood seized a
battle.axe and drove the bottle down the
throat of the old chief, killing him instantly.

THE HOUSEHOLD CLOCK.

The household clock for the past still dear,
Stands where the sunbeams fall,
Sometimes on the face so familiar, yet
That the days gone by recall.
And the chime hear is like that heard
In my childhood at my play,
That in later years reminded me
OF time passing swiftly away.
Could the old clock speak it hath witnessed oft
The parting as one by one,
We have left the Sheltering homestead roof
Going out from the old hearthStone.
To recall in memory happier years,
And when weary and care oppressed,
To long sometimes for an hour like those
We knew in that dear home rest.
And sometimes its chime hath reminded me
OF the moments brief to spend,
With one who from earth was passing away.
Who was more to us than friend:
Must leave the home circle to go beyond
The valley where changing years
Are alike unknown with life's fading hopes,
Its partings and its fears.
1 sometimes forget all the changes made
By time and the years of space
That have interviewed since the past and now
AS gaze on the old clocks face.
Far back through the vista of changing years
Again oft seem to see
The circle of loved ones, the household group,
Who once were so dear to me.

THE GRAssHoPPER PEST IN THE WEST
Grasshoppers are Matching out in innumer-
able myriads on the prairies West of the
Missouri River now, and unnumbered
myriads have been Matching out for quite
while. The ground is black with them.
They hang upon the grass like bees after a
swarm. But this is not surprising, for they
hatch out in the same way here every year.

ten years and see no change in them at all;
possibly they are little bigger for under
the laws of evolution they ultimate in the
kangaroo. On the plains they are at home,
they are healthy and vigorous, for grass is
their natural food and as long as they feed
upon grass they thrive, but let them give
up their natural food and forsake their
native land, the arid plains, and go upon
our wheat farm and luxuriate upon the
rich, highly concentrated food OF cultivated
grain, and disease sets in, gangrens OF the
vitals is the result, and the grasshopper
perishes! Three crops of wheat will de-
stroy any one invasion. After passing
three summers in cultivated fields an epi-

high living, will carry them off entirely

some one situated like myself on the from

AS the cherry season is now at hand we
may perhaps do some good by throwing
out acautionary warning against the danger
of swallowing cherry stones. A man died
in Vermont the other day after suffering
from dyspepsia for twenty years. Some
peculiar circumstances in his case led to q
post-mortem examination which revealed
thirteen cherry stones imbedded in the
lining of the stomach, causing athickening
of the walls of that organ of some three
fourths of an inch, and ultimately the
mans death. 1t was the opinion of tn,
physician that the stones had been there
many years.
