HOW TO DISCOURAGE YOUR MIN.


Hear him snow and then" Drop in
little late. Do not sing. Do not
find the text in your Bible. IL you take
little nap during the sermon, so much
the better. It shows that you enjoy it.
Notice carefully any slip he makes
while you are awake. Point out the
dull portion to your family and friends.
Quote what is in bad taste. Mark all
neglects of your advice. Find all the
fault you. can, it will be very apt to
reach his ears.
Censure his efforts at usefulness ;
deplore his want of good sense; let him
know that you. won't help him because
A. B. does, because you did not start the
plan yourself Let him know the follies
and sins of his hearers. Show him
how much he Overrates them, and tell
him their adverse criticisms of himself.
Tell him when he calls what a
stranger he is. How his predecessors
used 10 drop in for an hours chat, and
how much you used to like them.
Never attend the prayer meeting.
Frequent no special service. Why
should you be righteous over much
Occasionally get up a little gayely
for the young folks. This will be very
effectuai about the communion season.
''There is q time 70 dance" Give
him no intimation when you are i'll; of
course he should know; and your offend
ed dignity when he comes TO see you,
will render his visit pleasant. On no
account intimate your recovery.
Require him, to swell the pomp OF
every important occasion, unless, indeed,
there are prudential reasons for passing
him over
If he is regularly in his pulpit, set up
clamor for strangers If he has public
duties and sometimes goes abroad, com.
plain that he is never at home.
Keep down his income; easy means
are a sore temptation; filllness of bread
and meat is bad for every one-but the
laity.
AS he will find it hard to be always al
home to receive callers, and always run
ming among the people, and always well
prepared for pulpit and platform, you
will be sure TO have just cause for COM
plant, one way or the other. Tell it to
every one, ana then lament that there is
so general dissatisfaction with him.
Patient continuance in courses like
these, modified according to circum.
stances, has been known not only to dis
courage, but to ruin the usefulness and
break the spirit Of ministers; to send
them of TO other charges, and some
times TO their graves Those who desire
To avoid such results, avoid the practice
of such things as are herein referred

The late Judge Clifford had rather a
remarkable career. At the carly age of
% years he was elected u the Maine
Legislature and served four years, half
of that time being speaker of the house.
lie then became attorney general of the
state and continued in that position four
years, after which he went to Congress.
Having served two terms, he was ap-
pointed Attorney General of the United
States under President Polk, but retired
in 1S47, when he received the appoint
ment of Commissioner to Mexico and
subsequently, became our Minister to
that country. On his return to the
United States, he settled as lawyer in
Portland where he remained un-
til appointed to the supreme bench by
President Buchanan, in 1858. For an
extraordinarily long term he has dis
charged his duties in that position. The
Judges of the Supreme Court, after be-
coming seventy years ofage, or after ten
years continuous service, are eligible to
retire on full pay, but Judge Clifford de
clincd to avail himself of that provision
OF the law, and held his position up 10
the time of his death, at the ripe age oil
seventy eight years. From the above
data it will be seen that the Judge was
almost continually in Office for the pro-
tracted period ofIifly years, nearly equal.
ling in that respect Lord Burleigh, the
favoritc minister of Queen Elizabeth.
