While the question Of character was
before the conference, a bright young
minister, Rev. +. i. Carpenter, was
objected to on account of ineficiency
in work, growing out of some financial
difficulties in which he had become
involved. This discussion at once as
sumed an unpleasant personal charac-
ter. He was defended eloquently and
charitsbly by some-harshly, and we
thought, indelicately criticised by
others. His young wife, a blushing
bride, just entering the honeymoon,
was forced to sit and hear her hus-
bands private affairs cruelty discussed
in the presence Of a large assemblage
and the tears that filed her eyes and
bathed her burning cheeks showed
how deeply her heart was stirred.
Mr.. Carpenters defense was a vindi-
cation Of himself which excited gen
eral sympathy. Among other things
he clearly proved that during the last
year Of his ministry he received
only $3.50 salary, and that he was
compelled to abandon his So.
cred calling and engage in school
teaching to earn money to pay his
debts. His pecuDiary embarrass-
ments we're the painful results of in
adequate compensation and Of his
misfortunes, arising from no fault of
his own, and incident to the y%icissi-
tudes of itinerant ministry, we're to be
used to crush him; he was. indeed,
the most unfortunate of men. A
great thrill Of human sympathy ran
through every breast-preacher, lay
man and sinner felt in every fibre OF
their hearts a swelling symphony OF
compassion for the man. The FROST
work of wintry criticism melted away
before the feryid response of patient.
a severely tried and a misiudged
brother. In this case the divine les
son, jgculcating the pre- eminence oil
charity in the Sriumyirate Of christian
virtues, was not taught by the church
alone-many sinners shed abroad III
blessed influence, whilst some of the
licensed precoptors bent the knee TO q

The Queen Of Italy Adopts two

In Naples the papers toll a very
pretty story Of the Queen of Italy. II
appears that as she was driving to the
royal wood Of Lioalo, the coachman
mistOok the road, and one Of the gen
tleman asked a countryman the way.
The man, seeing tho fine carriage and
horses aud the servants livery and all
the gay company, thought he was
being fooled. "As if you did not
know, he said with a big grin. The
queen laughed and assured him that
they were lost. Then only did the
countryman condescend to point out
the way, after which be walked of as
if fearing to be laughed at again.
Tive him twenty francs for his
trouble" said the queen to ono of her
escort, who, going after the country
man, said;
Here, my man, Il a little present

you"

man, returning TO the carriage. "For-
