A Sfmple Lesson.

Maria Edgeworth, in her time second
only. to Jane Austen among literary
women, had warm sympathy for all
kinds Of life. which accounts for the
ardor with which she writes Of human
beings. A trifing incident, related IN
one Of her letters, impressed her deep
ly.
1--WE went the other day to see col
lection of natural curiosities at Mr..
Broderp's. My father observed that
he had but very few butterflies.
"'No, SIR he said. "A circumstance
that happened to me some time ago

more butterflies. caught most beau

PREsBYTERIANs MEET.
Battle Over Creed Revision PRONE
Uses to Be Exciting.

Battle Over Creed Revision PRONE
ises to Be Exciting.
New York, May 16.--In the foremost
church of the denomination the one
hundred and fourteenth general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church, which
bids fair to be the most important
gathering ever held in it's history, was
opened by the retiring moderator, Rev.
DR.. Henry c. Minton.
Long before the opening hour the
commissioners began to arrive at the
Fifth avenue church, and before the
first session was called to order an
alignment of opposing forces had been
made which indicated that the over
shadowing question of creed revision
was to be holly contested.
The report of the committee on revi-
sion of the creed will be read in the
form of an explanatory declaration of
the meaning of certain articles in the
Westminster Confession, including flu
ture punishment and infant damnation
and "hrief statement of the reformed
faith" for the use of laymen.
While it is generally anticipated that
the report Of the committee will be a
compromise, yet, should it be adopted,
II Is FELT by many conservatives that it
would be an entering wedge into the
ancient faith which would result in the
final dropping Of the Westminster Con
fession and the substitution of the
brief statement" as a standard of
faith.
