SUPREME COURT CLERK.

1t IS to be hoped that the voters at the April
election will take especial pains to vote yes
on the proposed constitutional amendment
relative to the appointment OF the clerk to the
supreme court OF this State. The clerk is now
appointed by the clerk Of Insham sounty'
Why the clerk OF Ingham county should have
any more authority TO appoint clerk for the
supreme court, than the clerk OF Kalamazoo
county is one of those things difficult TO ex-
PLAIN. The amendment provides that the JUS
tees of that court shall have the power to ap-
point their own clerk, and thus be able at all
times to secure competent one. The vote in
favor of this proposition ought to be unani-
nous. There are abundant reasons in favor
of it and no good ones against 1t. The change
will not add to the expense, and is IN every
way desirable.

A company has been formed In Philadelphia,
for the purpose OF draining what are known as
the everglades of Florida, and thus reclaim
about 100000 acres of the richest land in
the world. The company has already completed
its contract with the State for that purpose. 1t
is also reported that il connection with this
gigantic scheme, there Will be built ship canal
across the State, which has been the dream OF
engineers for number OF years. 1t would not
only shorten the distance between all the At
lantic seaports to New Orleans and other ship
ping points along the Gulf, but would also
avoid the dangerous coral reefs off the south
and southwest cost of the State, and the fear
fui hurricanes which seamen often experience
there.

Milan and Salisbury Cathedrals

Contrast Milan with Salisbury Cathe-
dral. 1t may seem shockingly irrever-
ent to say so, but have always fancied
Milan, with all its wondrous spires and
pinnacles and twirligigs, was after all
but glorifed and idealized wedding
cake-the gorgeous dream of an artistic
confectioner with a taste for building up
curious fret-work in white sugar and
caramel which decorates the front window
of the pastry-cook shop. 1t is the apoth-
costs of confectionery, no doubt; but
am compelled to admit, confectionery
none the less. AS you gaze up at it, or
down upon it from its own top, you fail
to get any one intelligent idea of its
drift. However you take it, it remains
a wilderness of stone-work, reducing your
mind to maze and haze, through which
innumerable points and peaks loom up
indistinguishably, and fade into others
yet beyond them. On the other hand,
go into the neat and green little close of
Salisbury, take your stand at the north
west corner, Cor, for the matter of that,
at any other point where the Dean and
Chapter will permit you,) and look up
at the building in all its perfect unity
and simplicity. To my mind, you will
not find more complete and self-con
tanned cathedral in all Europe. 1t is
not large, it is not even very notable in
style, at least as far as peculiarities and
technical tours de force go: but it forms
single beautiful picture, harmonious
throughout, and bound together by the
tie of a general conception to which all
details have been duly subordinated
Peterborough is nothing but west front
with three magnificent doorways; West
minister Abbey is two fine but homogeneous
pieces of architecture, grated inartisti-
cally upon one another; but Salisbury is
whole cathedral, with a plan and
central idea, to be grasped at once by
eye and mind as readily as Hellenic
temple, yet adorned with all the richness
and variety of medieval workmanship.
In our large architectural and decorative
schemes, we have fully mastered this first
principle of design-to have notion
and stick to it. 1t is only in our houses
that we have failed to perceive it's ap
plcability. And 1 think we may set
down the failure to two causes: the first
is undue ambition; the second is neglect
OF the principle of relief-THe Co1HhiU

A Wife's Faith,

In one of the towns of England there
is a beautiful little chapel, and very
touching story is told in connection with
it. 1t was built by an infdel. He had
a praying wife, but he would not listen
to her, would not allow her pastor even
to take dinner with them, would not look
at the Bible, would not allow religion
even to be talked of. She made up her
mind, seeing she could not influence him
by her voice, that every day she would
pray to God at twelve o'clock for his
salvation. She said nothing to him, but
every day at that hour she told the Lord
about her husband. At the end of twelve
months there was no change in him. But
she did not give it up. Six months
more went past. Her faith began to
waver and she said, "Will have to give
him up at last? Perhaps when l am dead
lie will answer my prayers" When
she had got to that point it seemed lust
as II God had got her where he wanted
her. The man came home to dinner one
day. His wife was in the dining-room
waiting for him, but he didn't come in.
She waited some time, and finally looked
for him all through the house. At last
she thought of looking into the little
room roo, where she had prayed SO often.
There he was praying at the same bed
with agony. where she had prayed for so
many months, asking forgiveness for his
sins. And this is a lesson for YOU
wives who have infdel husbands. The
Lord saw that wonan's faith and an
sWered her prayers.-Moody'8 child

Doctrinal Religion.

Mark what say: If you want to do
good In these times you must throw aside
INDIGESTION and take up distinct, sharply
cut doctrinal religion. If you believe
little, those to whom you try to do good
will believe nothing. The victories of
Christianity, wherever they have been
won, have been won by distinct doctri-
nal theology; by telling men roundly of
Christs vicarious death and sacrifice by
showing them Christ's substitution on
the cross, and his precious blood; by
teaching them justification by faith, and
bidding them believe o. crucifed
Saviour; by preaching ruin by sin, re-
demption by Christ, regeneration by the
Spirit; by lifting up the brazen serpent :;
by telling men to look and live-to be-
heve, repent and be converted. This
this is the only teaching which, for eigh-
teen centuries, God has honored with
success, and is honoring to-day, both at
home and abroad. Let the clever advo-
Gates of broad and undogmatic theology
the preachers of the gospel of earnest
ness and sincerity and cold morality
let them, | say, show us at this day any
English village, or parish, or city, or
town, or district which has been evange-
Used without dogma" by their princi-
pies. They cannot do it, and they never
will. Christianity without distinct doc
trine is powerless thing 1t may be
beautiful to some minds, but it is child
less and barren. There is no getting
over facts. The good that is done in the
earth may be comparatively small. Evil
may abound, and ignorant Impotence
may murmur, and cry out that Chris
tianity has failed. But, depend on it, if
we want to "do good" and shake the
world, we must fight with the old apos-
tolic weapons, and stick to dogma.
No dogma, no fruits! No positive evan
gellcal doctrine, no evangeisationl-

The Mutations of Fortune,

The principal family in the parish of
Margate In the days of Queen Elizabeth
was that of Norwood. This is proved not
only by some handsome brasses in the
church, but by the fact that whenever
one of them is baptized the Registrar
more than once makes the entry in large
embossed hand SO that it is the most con-
spicuous entry in the page. There is
little difficulty in tracing out the pedi-
gree OF the family with the assistance
OF the records of the neighboring parishes.
And the same family is now represented
In Margate by the town bill-sticker, who,
according to the escutcheons which meet
one on all sides, is entitled to decorate
his professional paste-pot with a cross
engrailed, gules, on a field ermine. Three
other names are conspicuous. each of
which has much that is interesting to
the local historian. Visitors to the Isle
of Thanet know the grand old castella-
ted brick gateway of about the date of
the third Edward, on which lion with
an enormous tooth is sculptured on a
corbel. The place is called Dentdelyon.
and so were the family inhabiting it till
the middle of the fifteenth century.
Most illustrated books on brasses have an
engraving Of the fine efigy of John Dan
delion" in the church, who died in 1445.
ION the day Of the invention of the holy
cross" (Sept. IA, as the inscription states.
He rebuilt great portion of the church
and put up one or more of the beautiful
pearl Of bells. He left one daughter
only, and she married certain Henry
Prettit, who thereby became owner Of
Dentdelyon. Consequently when we
come down to the time of the registers
we find much made of the Petit family,

who died in the days of Charles H., and

ton no doubt by Elkanah Settle, and I
have seen a copy Of it-a handsome folio
in rich morocco binding, and adorned
with sculptures" Sic transit. This
family, too, fourishes in Mareate. It's

and efficient chimney-sweep. Two other
great families have, SO far as l know,

which touches the purse. The elegant
distress at the theatre, and the squalid
misery of the highway are very different
affairs in the appeal to our sympathies !;
while we weep over the tale which re-
counts the visits of some elegant heroine
to the dirty cottages of the poor and
the sick, we recoil at the same time from
the contact of such filth ourselves. We
pay our money, too, for the books which
make us weep, and We give dollar for
the privilege of going to cry at tragedy
we should think it extravagant, never
theless, to give the same sum to the beg
gar at our doors. What mysterious and
complicated creatures we are Can it be
the same natural soul which acts SO in
consistently? Or, have we two souls as
the ancients thought, which rule by turns,
as the Roman Consuls sometimes did. On
this same subject of the Immortality of
the soul, is there any thing better than
Butler has given us in his Analogy, and
Young in the 5th and 9th books of his
Night Thoughts? At last believe it is
probability only which human reason can
reach on this subject Socrates seemed
to be doubtful on the point at the mo-
ment of his death. Aristotle, I think,
with all his power of penetration, did not
believe in the Immortality of the soul.
He was an atheist, was he not? and held
that everything has been from all eter-
nifty as we see it now. By the way,
observe that Christians, in modern times,
by way of proving the inefficiency of hu-
man reason, are maintaining that the be-
ing of God cannot be proved by human
reason. Is this true, or is it polite? II
this be so, | think we may despair of
proving the Immortality of the soul by
human reason. | am reluctant to admit
either roposition-more especially the
first. believe that it will have greater
tendency to make atheists than Christians.
This matter is worthy of your considera-
ton. cannot perceive how it can ad-
vance the cause of the Bible to load it
with new weights. The Deist processes
to take reason for his guide-if you sat
isty him that reason does not prove the
existence of God, you may strike this
article from his creed-but l do not see
how you bring him at all nearer to the
admission that the Bible is revelation
from God-from God, whose existence
you have supposed to have disproved to
him, by the only evidence he admits, the
evidence of reason. Whereas, assuming
the existence of God, and assuming also
his omnipotence and omniscience (which
Deists, believe, admit) the task of the
Christian teacher seems to me to be much
lightened.
We all write in love to you and Mrs.
Rice, and | am as ever, your friend,
