for its object as much the protection of the
valuable members of society from imposition

CORRESPONDENCE
Florida.

MeSSr8 Editors,-The tide. of immi-
grafton to this State will soon be at its
height, and many Presbyterians will be
among the number to seek homes on the
Peninsular. 1 write this notice to advise
all such from settling in parts of the
State where they will probably never
enjoy any church privileges of their own.
There is no need of doing so as there are
churches organized, or soon will be, in
the best sections. 1 have travelled as
Evangelist over the counties-of Orange,
Sumter, fernando, Hillsborough, and
Polk. There are churches in all of these
except Hernando, and there will or ought
to be two churches organized in that
county very soon.
I will gladly furnish information to any
who desire to move to any of these
counties, about the churches, their loca-
ton, and probable organization about
the country, lands, climate, &c. There
are movements on foot for establishing
Presbyterian colonies at certain points.

regards both practices simply gam

any person to demonstrate, by an ap-
peal to the naked facts, that while
risking money at a faro table is gam
bling, risking money on futures" is a
legitimate business transaction. A.

that the price Of a product he is sup
posed to buy, but which exists only In
theory, will advance or decrease, ac-
cording to his wishes. He engages in
a game Of chance. SO does A., who
sits in front of a faro table, who Is
gambling, and who differs from B. in
calling things by their right names.

tain q large copper cent stamped "a.

Gushing recognized the coin as one he
had stamped when a boy fourteen
years old-thirty-fve or more years
ago. The penny had come into the
hands of a lady in Boston, and been
returned to the indorser, MIR. Cush.
