| Me ethodist preacher ever hcard-and that
was too early for me distinctly TO rcmem-
ber-was the Rev. James NJ. Fuller who
is still doing good service as presiding
elder of the most important diitrict in the
state of Michigan. What a thrOng of
pleasant and sacred memories cluster
about the name of Elisha J. Scott! One
Df my most distant and vivid recollections
is of Il haptismal scene in which he oihci-
ated. Twenty-eight young men and women
| marched from this church to the pond
which had been extemporized Il, hap
| tismal font. singing-"On Jordan stormy
banks | stand''-and were all immersed
by Bro. Scott. Just twenty years later in
this same church received from his hand,
rs the minister of religion expressing and
confirming the ordinance of God, that
best of all gifts in my earthly life-my
wife! In that locality for two score OF
years his name has been like precious
ointment poured forth. Aud then there
was Eleazer Smith whom l have since
heard preach most excellent sermons to
his prison congregation at Concord; ttM
John Currier who used to preach, as well
as eat, left-handed, bat his sermons were
with the demonstration of the spirit and
with power; and JOHN e. Dow and S. Y.
Williams, both mon Of unusual vigor of
character; and A. G. Button who was for
me quite favorte minister and WAS gen
orally voted as bright rs button" and
A. L, Ballard, an earnest and slgacous
man who usually knew his rights "and
knowing dared maintain" but was never
perfectly happy and triumphant in his
preaching unless he was tlaying alive
some Calvinstic hereto or Unversalist
sinner; and .. NJ. Legate, one Of the
kenrst and most discriminating of men,
but just Il little too much inclined to cNt
up people; and Edmund Copeland Il
faithful and conscientious man who bap.
tlzed me and received me into the church /;
and e. w. Kellogg, who was always
laying bis skids for revival" and
Lewis Hill. whose sermons were models
of symmetry as well as evangelistic unc-
ton. Alonzo Webster and H. P. Gushing
were Il little too late there to be my pas
tors, though | have often heard their ex-
celent sermons in tina. familiar place.
Indeed the last sermon have ever heard
from Bro. Webster was there, and it was
one Of the most admirable | ever heard
from him, which as all who know him is
saying not little.
But l may not call the roll of all the
precious names which are inscribed on
my memory and engraven on my grateful
heart. Again l say, blessings on the
memory OF the dead and on the hearts and
lives of the living. What would have been
the history of that community without
that humble church? What would | have
been? My soul shivers with fear AS | look
down into the abyss of dark possibilities!

upon the professor, who almost swooned
at the sight of him.
''6hut the door," said the emperor quiet
ly, as he walked in. Tell me who your
accomplices are and give me all your
papers or shall have YOU knouted." A
sovereign of this sort was quite fit to hold
his own over nation of slaves; and it is
no wonder that the homage bestowed upon
him was always most fulsome. The
Russians felt that they had in Nicholas
ruler who did not fear them, who knew
all their weak points, and was in fact,
their master.
Alexander II. unfortunately for himself,
began his reign by estranging the nobility;
and when he had made himself popular
with the lower classes by the emancipation
of the serfs, he tried to get reconcied to
the ariStocracy by keeping down the
people. This vacillaling policy pleased
nobody; and now the czar is trusted by
neither by the upper nor the lower class.
The former think him weak and the latter
disingenuous, whereas he is simply bewil-
dered; and yet the name of car has such
magic in Russia still that if Alexander IL.
had the nerve to show that he did not care
for assassins, the attachment of his people
would probably afford him better guard
against the nihiliSts than any which the
police can furnish. 1t all comes to this,
that in II deSpotic state II sovereign must
prove that he sets light store by his life;
when lie is self.confdent, his people will
coniide in him. when he trembles or
appears to tremble, his subjects will feel
th0ir faith in him shaken, and will not
think his cause worth serving, since he
himself seems TO distrust it.-PaU Mall
Gazette.

was mainly in the minister and the name

A SURDY EMPEROR. Nicholas had an
imperial way of meeting dangers; he
marched straight up to them. One day he
heard that II market riot had broken out,
and that the populacc had risen against the
inspectors and "men in blne, "or gendarme.
The czar jumped into his sleigh, drove
straight to the scene of the conflict, ha-
rangued the rioters, and called upon the
ringleaders to give themselves up. The
ringeaders surrenderedi without mur-
mur, and were probably all transported,
for the czar was no sentimentalist, and
showed little magnanimity in dealing with
rebels. On another occasion Nicholas
heard that Il professor of the university of
st. Petersburg was conspiring against his
life, proof of this offence having been
obtained through letters seized at the
postoffice. The car wrapped himself in

A SMALL GREENHOUsE.-A small green
house may be erected, eighteen feet long
and nine feet wide. The highest part at
the back Of the ean-to is seven feet seven
inches from the ground TO the roof, in
front, is three feet. The floor is dug down
two and "A half feet. An excavation deep
er than the floor is made for the stove,
which is set near the front, but not quite
in the centre of the line east and west.
A glazeI terra-cotta pipe runs from
short galvanized pipe attached to the
stove, about three-fourths Of the length of
the building, under II wide shelf at the
front, then crosses the eastern end of the
house (the house faces south,) and runs up
to the northeast corner nearly to the roof,
and then passes outside, where it rises
three or fonr feet. The top is closed, but
several apertures beneath allow the egress
of the smoke. There are four elbows to
the pipe, the last one resting on Il wooden
bracket outside of the house, where it is
held securely by strong wires. A wide
table runs along in front of this house.
A narrow path intevenes between this
and the stage of four steps which fill all
the rest OF the house. except the pathway
between the two stages which runs from
the main path to the door; that opens
three fourths of the way from the east end,
and is placed in the north wall From the
door we step into Il narrow passage way
or she'd, lighted by Il window in the east
end, and leave it by door in the west
end. This passage protects the house ut
the north, and prevents draft of cold air
when the door is opened. Three fiat wood
en- shutters on top allow Of ventilation.
The glass in front Is also set on hinges,
and permits of more OF less ventilation.
When the sun becomes too powerful,
pancs made of lath are laid over the roof,
and are left there all summer to protect it
from hail. They make Il subdued light
and prevent the trouble of white washing
the glass.
The whole cost of this house was almost
exactly Que hundred dollars; the lathwork
Of the roof costing an extra four dollars
