4 "Reminiscences Of Rev. DIR. Muhlenbers'
The life and work of the Rev. DR.. Null
lenberg is filled with the most charming
reminiscences-like this, for example,
from one Of the closing chapters - In
February, 1876, he accepted an invitation
to 4 rather remarkable lunch party. The
Rev. DR.. Adams, Of the Presbyterian
church, invited him, with q few other oc-
togenarian friends. to meet venerable
gentleman, who, bright and well in his
ninetietil year, was then expected on 4
visit. Among those present were the poet
Bryant, Mr.. Peter Cooper, Mr.. James
Brown, the Rev. DR.. Calhoun, of Syria.
and others. As DR.. Muhlcnberg exchanged
greetings with Mr.. Bryant, he playfully
quoted, with mock ruefulness. two lines
from the poets Death Of the Flowers :"
e The melancholy days have come the sa,ldcst
of the year,
or wailing winds. and naked wood. and mca-
dOws brown and Scre.'
Mr.. Bryant laughed, enjoying the appli-
cation. "COming to the table" wrote
Dr. Adams, in his mention of the Occa-
sion. II requested DR.. Muhlenberg to ask
blessing, and taking from his pocket a
before me in his own hand writing le read
these lines ::
Sole: IL thanks be our grace, tor TIE years
that are past,
With their blessings untold: and though this
be our last,
Yet, joyful our trust that through Christ twill
be given.
And here meet again, at Ills table in heaven
Amen. amen,' was tho hearty response
from that bright, beautiful and cheerful
group. DR.. Muhlenberg AM DIR. Adams
loved each other. More than Once,' said
the latter, I have said to my family, when
returning from some interview with him,
in which he had honOrcd me with a kiss,
that felt as il the Apostle John had en-
braced me, and repeated in my ear some
words which had been whispered to him by
the Master on whose bosom he had leaned
at the srpper.'''

There is a paragraph going the rounds
to the effect that the famous Mrs GRUND,
whose word in the law of fashion, and tho
mere terror of whose reproof is a socia
corrective, was the wife Of noted politi-
clan Of forty and fifty years ago, Feli'
Grundy, of Tennessee, President Van Bu

have ruled Washington society with 4 rod
of iron, and her social authority to have
been so supreme that "Mrs. Grund!
says" was conclusive in all social debate
Mrs. Felix Grundy may havo been thi!
autocratic lady, but she is not the origilia
of the phrase, "What will Mrs. Grundy
say:" That parsonage, as any diction
ary of quotations will show, is found by
name in Morton's comedy Of Speed tn
Plough, which somewhat antedates thu
wife of Mr.. Van Buren's attorney general
Thomas Morton was born in 1854 and diet
in 1888.

There is not one Of these in which the
Democracy have not a good fighting
chance, and Hancock is more likely to
get 10 of these 13 electoral votes than TO
lose any state set down in the Democrat

Rev. Dr. Shumaker read the 3!th psalm
and offered a prayer.
Rev. DR.. Dubbs, of Franklin and Mar
shall college, delivered an address on the
Affairs Of childhood" He opened by
historical narrative of the altar Of Carmel
descrated by Ahab and Jezebel and af-
forwards repaired and restored by the
prophet Of the Lord, story Of peculiar in
tercst to Christians. lie would, however,
cOnfine himself to the altars Of childhood
he would for tho time reverse the usual
order Of teacher and see whether We can
not learn something from the children
for the Lord has said, Except ye be con-
verted and he as little children yc cannot
DO saved" The orator read German
translation Of a manuscript.by DR.. Near-
der, after which he spoke of the several
affairs Of childhood. the first being "the
altar of faith" Without faith religion is
impossible; it is tho alphabet, the very
foundation Of all religion; and yet how
few there are who have the true idea of
faith. This is because VIC do not worship
at tho altar of childhood. The child has
infinite faith, believes implicitly you will
provide for him. So in the Sunday school
he believes all you tell him; believes the
Lord is near to him and protects him. The
Christian, if he will, may believe rs i'm
plicitly as the child; the former believes
without intelligence; the latter with in
telligence.
Another altar of childhood is Love-"
There are two kinds of love that lift US up.
and bring us nearer to God and two others
that draw us down. The love Of God and
the neighbor lift us up, while the love OF
self and the world pull us down.
Another altar is that Of Humility"
whosoever becomes as little child, says
the Lord shall he greatest among you.
It is only after Pride and Hate have pulled
down the altar of Humility that our old
faith slips away, and we become worldly.
