PowDERHAM CASTLE,
~. EA

a December 10th, 1880.
r. j. Stokes, Esq;
Dear SiT-Your letter Of the 4th inst,
with paper, came safe to hand, and
must ts ank you very much for taking such
an interest 10 your old countrymRn and
endeavoring to sift out who the imposter
is that represents himselfto be a son q
the Earl OF Devon. The answers, how
ever, that be is able 10 give with refer
ence to the family and the people Of the
neig bOrhood, to any person knowing
thtm, like yourself, would be quite
enough 10 misIead anyone that was not
exactly acquainted with his person. We
have no conception who he can be, but
he must be some one who has resided
not very far from here, there can be no
doubt. 1t is not, l believe, the first
time We have heard of HIM in a similar
manner. He has been all over the
world, you may say, practising the same
kind of deception. About four years
since, he was coming from India (Rhere
he was introduced and dined with the
Viceroy) and met at Brindisl, John
Perry Besr, whose father was a tenant
of Lord Devoh's when l ,ame to Pow
derhsm, forty years since (but left year
after for Australia, where he did very
we'll, leaving the son have just named
in high position at Melbourne). He was
returning from England to Melbourne,
meeting this man or his counterpart Oh
board snip, also bound for Melbourne,
and he then introduced himself as the son
of the Honorable and Rev. II. II
Courtenay (Lnrd Devon's brother), and
from his knowledge of the family and
the people of the neighborhOod, who
Bar of course knew to be all correct,
he, upon landing at Melbourne, invited
him to his own house and introduced
him at the Government House and to
ali the frs; people in the place. 1t was
not, however, very long, think, above
ten days or fortnight, b fore an
appeared in the Mel
bourne papers inquiring for such per-
con, and l believe he was requested to
give an account of himself, which he said
he could do, but instead took himself off
from the colony. Bear then wrote me as
you have done now, TO ask if / could
give any idea who the man was, but l
was as much at loss then as / am now,
but have very little doubt he is the
same man.
Jonn Perry Bear is in England now,
and sent him the paper and your letter,
asking him if he thought by the account
he " as the same man, aud l enclose you
his answer, in which you will see he be-
lieves it is.
1 should be uncommonly glad 10 know
who the fellow is; no tool for certain, by
the way he is able to extract money,
upon which he has no doubt been living
for years. 1 should be very glad if you
will kindly send me paper, where it
shows what has been done with the gen
tleman. 81
l am, dear sir,
Yours faithfully,
JOIN DREW.

,wers accorded so closely with the real
'acts and particulars sought, that
him to be an offsprout Of some
of the Earl's family. Thereupon
wrote to the Earl of Devon's steward,
England, inquiring if he could shed any
light on this mysterious being, describing

Apostles" in the church. What could be
more instructive and inspiring? But
these pictures brought back idolatry into
Gods churches And still another good
body argued, that the Church certainly
would be edited by solemnizing the Ma
tatatia of the blessed martyrs, not only
st. Peter and st. Paul, but st. Ignatius
and st. Polycarp. and st. Cecilia, ETC.
The Church owed much to them for their
heroic testimony. Surely there could
not be better way to inspire the hearts
of the young members, than to keep the
anniversaries of their martyrdoms as holy
days? Very pious and plausible But
it was this very multiplication of holy
days of mans appointment, which first
overthrow reverence for Gods own holy
day, the Christian Sabbath; and then
turned the "devoutest" part of the pop
ulation of Italy into a nation of loafers
The multiplication of saints days has
proved the blight of public wealth, the
corruption of religion, and the inlet OF
popular laziness and dissipation.
Here, now, is the point of this lesson.
The people, who brought these items of
will-worship into the Greek and Roman
Churches, were just as pious and we'll
meaning as any of our modern introdu-
GERS of organs, and floral decorations, and
memorial windows, and Christmas ever
greens, and saints days, and changeable
vestments, and candles, and altar cloths,
and "anxious Seats" into the modern
churches. In spite of the good intentions,
the old will-worship turned out for un-
foreseen evil. What right has any mod
ern inventor to say that his will not also
Because he is wiser than these others
If that is his way of reasoning, then that
makes me still more afraid of him and
his will-worships. For remember what
the Proverbs say: "Seest thou man
wise In his own conceit?' etc. (The rest is
not polite enough to say to an aesthetic
christian" y

window looking out upon the sea. He is
to set sail soon. His next remove will
be aboard the ship and out this harbor.
he only waits the Pilots signal. The
harbors narrow mouth, curtained with
mist and cloud, he thinks of as the grave.
and thence the souls glad exit and en-
larrgement. Each vessel sailing out so
solemnly, its hull hid in the mist sur
rounding, seems friend and fellow voy-
ager, another, and another, departing for
the better country" in advance of him.
Many visions pass before him. But
anon he thinks of youth, and dreams all
Its pleasant fctions over. These ships
now suggest his own departure long ago
from Grecian isles for the Hesperides.
Slowly and stately and still, they sail
forth into the Ocean" Slowly and state
ly and still his thoughts sail too, flowing
along out with them lover the dimitless
deep. How natural. Their very move
ment holds his mind absorbed as by en-
chantment. Memories of past excite
ments on the sea, and vague, indefinite
longlngs now possess him. He knows
Atlantis is not that way. Castle build
ing is not true, but pleasant. The sails
OF these outgoing ships still hold his eyes
and bear him on. Farther and farther
he sails and thinks, seated there by his
window, borne unto Hesperian isles the
isles of old, the glory achich is IN this
a0orld. This still possesses certain power
to clog his mind. To this, therefore, the
cunning Tempter brought his thoughts.
The Dove, created for the trees and
sunny wales of earth, wings forth its flight
above the waters from the Ark to find,
alas, no resting place. Farther and far
Their it flies away, but finding rothing
meekly comes to Noah's hand at last and
waits the New-the promised Earth. So
turn his thoughts back, when contem-
plating all, to Him in whom we live and
move, "our dwelling-place." The vision
is dissolved, the day-dream ended. The
ships have disappeared in the Ocean.
Those that were moored in the neiob bor.
ing roadstead still ride at anchor. "Van-
lshed, too, are the thoughts, the dim, I'M
satisfied longings. His heart is riding at
anchor IN haven of rest, held by the
chains of love" Who shall be able to
separate it? 1t is held by the hopes
which rise out of Trust. Glorious Hope
the hope of the glory that shall be re-
vealed in us hereafter" With patience
he awaits it. The time already lost. the
peril of this long delay suficeth. He
wishes to contend no more with wind and
wave pursuing phantom isles.
