after giving in the Independent an account of
the course of the Established Assembly and Mr..
McFarlan towards each other puts the effect in
very much the same light as that which we ex-
pressed on review of the proceedings. He
says
The issue puts the fools cap on the Scotch
Sermons and turns the manifesto of growing
party into ridiculous fasco. The editor Of
these sermons, in his preface, promised second
SERIES if the volume accomplished its aim. 1t
is for him to judge how far the aim has been ac-
complished; but, if second volume is contem-
plated, it may not be amiss to suggest that care
shodld be taken, in selecting contributors, to Sc
cure. men who know their own minds, can ex-
press it clearly, and are prepared to stand by it.
Only on these terms can authors of Scotch SER
mons or of sermons of any nationality act an

A Wise Mailman.

Arab literature is full Of anecdotes OF
wise and sober men who have reproved
their dissolute ''betters;" here Is one
of the kind: A certain king went to
visit q mad-house, and found there an
intelligent-looking youth. who. after
replying sensibly to a number Of ques-
tons put to him by the sovereign, at
length addressed the latter, saying:
you have asked me many things; l
will now ask you one. At what period
does a sleeper enjoy his sleep mostP'
THE king reflected awhile. and said:
''While he is actually sleeping"
THAT cannot be-" said the mad
man. 'for he has no perception while
asleep" .
Then, before he goes to Sleep" said
the king.
"How can any one enjoy anything"
asked the mailman, ''before it comesp"
'Then," said the king. ''after he has
been asleep"
'.Nay." said the mailman, "a man
cannot be said to enjoy q thing that has
passed away"
So pleased was the king with the
others wit that he determined to make
q companion of him, had q table set in
front Of the window of the mad-house,
and bade his attendants hand q cup of
wine to himself and one to his mad
friend. ''You drink your cup" said
the latter, that you may become like
me; but, il l drink mine whom shall l
be like P"
The king. on hearing this speech.
threw away his cup, and remained q
total abstainer forevermore.

An Invention Destined to Supersede
Rowing.

An Auburn inventor has patented q
device for prOpelling boats which prom
ises to entirely revOlutionize the pres
ont laborious method Of rowing. and
which will DO hailed with delight by
the young man who has to take his
best girl and his portly prospective
mother-in-law out rowing several even
ings in each week. Those who do not
ROY can dilate upon the scenery of the
outlet and the beauties of a 'lifc on
the ocean wave" as much rs they please,
but the fatigued and perspiring young
man mentally says he would prefer
saving u cord of wood to rowing many
miles farther.
Tho new mechanical movement of
which we wish to speak in this article
will ~agreeably diminish, il not entirely
obviate, nearly all tho sorrows of the
amateur Oarsman. The inventor is
Mr.. Henry N. Stats, Of this city, and
the design of his appliance is to render
practicable the use of a scrow-pro-
peller upon small boats. The invention
can be applied to any row boat, and
consists simply of a prOpeller-shaft
which projects through the stern Of the
boat and has secured to its end screw
propeller, which, by the rotation of tho
shaft by hand power applied to a
double crank, causes the boat 10 move
forward with greater or less speed, gov
erned by the rapidity of the revolu-
lions.
The work is not nearly SO tircsomo
as rowing, and with the same amount

propeller are numerous and must be
conceded. One is that tho person faces

steer the craft himself by NEAR of stir.

by Mr.. Stats. In duck-hunting you
can noiselessly approach tho feeding

In TRAVELLING this method is also far su-

Two, or even more persons al work
at the handles and by a simple change
of a pin the handles can be worked in
either direction, which is often q great
relief to the muscles. The appliance is
certainly ingenious and eminently prac-
ticable. We have witnessed its opera.
ton, and everybody who has rowed q
boat 'for pleasure will be charmed
with il. The cost Of the apparatus is
but 1926, and WI can unhesitatingly say,
that upon trial we do not believe tho
owner of q boat would DO willing to
have it taken out and return to the old
method for quadruple the first cost.
We think Mr.. Staatz has q bonanza in
his invention. -Aubu,n (N. " Ad-
