If; ' as the writer puts it, "you allow the use of one instrument to suggest the first note of a Psalm how can you object to an instrument that suggests the subsequent notes ?" Rev. Dr. Arthur T. Pearson made a remarkable !statement before the Presbyte- rian' Synod of Indiana, lately:: He said: "In November, 1875,-1 discovered that I myself was the principal obstacle to a revivalof God's work. I had been preach,' nag the most elaborate literary sermons I could produce. God showed me that I was laboring for human applause. I had a magnificent' church building, and $35,000 were spent on the interior decoration of that church. Then and there I saidto God that 'I would renounce all the idols of which I had been conscious, if He would only let me do His work. While I was praying far the ,blessing, the church took fire, And in half an hour it was in ashes. We went into the Opera -House; and I threw aside my elaborate manuscripts and the Holy Ghost came." . A recent lady traveller in the East tells of her visit to the Girls' Orphanage in Nazareth, the early home of Jesus, an nstitution established many years ago by a Christian society in London. There she heard the children singing sweetly the well known hymn, " jeetni of -N azaretb-Paeeeth sBy ;" and she says that they were " sure the words were all meant for them." • This is another illustration of the far-reaching power of a popular hymn. The hymn in question Was first publitihed in the Sunday School- Times, eighteen years ago. Since then it has encircled the world with its strains of plaintive pleading, and itis it new power to day iu the earthly home of Him of whom it Mugs. In India there are 1,325,000 Roman Catholics mad '325,000 Protestants. ' ' Presbyterian churehee among the ' free- men of the South are inemeasingn antnber. Professor Parke, of Andover Theological Seminary, is in favor of stiffening the doc- trines of the Congregational Church, to .winch he belongs, and not to allow. clergy- men of lax or vague views to be ordained in that clentmainatien. One doctrine after another, he says, has been given up, but "we must stop somewhere," and there are three doctrines which should be insisted upon: First, that the Bible is trustworthy as a religious guide in allits religious teachings. Second, that . the doctrine of the atonement is a. sacrificial act as con- sisting in the sufferinge and death of the God -man, which suffering and death are representative of the aternal punishment of sinners; that those suffer- ings and that death were designed to, and in fact do, honor God's justice and love and holiness as much as the law and the holi- ness and jinitice.of God would be honored by the eternal perdition of sinners. Third, that this world is the only world of proba- ; that the future world is the world of 'punishment, if a Man 'ilea impenitent, and that suchsaman will suffer the punishment of the law, which is eternal. These doc- trines are' still held as vital by the churches, but less emphasis -is- laid upon them than formerly. Professor Parke is disposed to insist upon their vitality. - . • • *veniseriga.Faticiei. ' At this important season provident women begin to lay the keels of Christmas slippers.

But what most, leads to reflection? 1.1xperi, ence. Our errors, our shortcomings, our ailures-these teach us to think before we acts to consider each step, to 'weigh every motive. When, therefore, the upper eyelid -fcr it is that which has the greatest amount of mobility -droops over the eye, A indicates not merely reflection, but some- thing painful to reflect about. Hence the length or drooping of the upper eyelid betokens confession and penitence. - The drooping of. half of, the eyelids from the outer angle to the centre indicates the disposition toconfessone'a faults to parents . or seniors, to'a "father confessed." -, The drooping of half of the eyelids from the inner angle to the centre betokens the disposition to:repent - and to " do works , meet' for repentance." Closely allied t0. these signs are those of prayerfulness and, , The fernier is indicated by the muscle which turns the eye directly down- ward, as represented in the, picture of the Madonna. Prayerfulness is usually large in connection with that of penitence, the reason of which is that between the facul- ties Of ,penitence and humility there. is the seine -Close connection as between confession and prayer. One who has habitually more prayer than humility has the eye turned somewhat upward, So that the upward part of the iris is a little covered by the upper eyelid, and so as to leave a slight space' between the iris and the lower lid. The reverse is true of one who has more humility' than prayer. The faculty of truth -that is the love of , it -is indicated by thee muscle that sdr- roimds the eye, causing folds and wrinkles. Justice is indicated by the 'Muscles Which cause perpendicular wrinkles, between' the ' eyebrows. Fullness and , wrinkles. under the eye, for which some persons are remarkable, indicate love for rriathematis cal aceuracy, and curving upward from the 'outer angle of the eye and eyebrow indicate probity or personal truthfulness., There are three degrees of the faculty of justice. The first is a kind of exactnese, or strict honesty in small money Matters, whichsome people would call closeness, and is indicated by a singular perpendicu- lar wrinkle or line between the eye -brows; The second is a 'disposition to require justice in others, and is indicated by two perpendicular lines or wrinkles, one on each side of the centre -a very common sign. The • third degree is ceitscientious- nespe or the disposition t� apply the rule of indicate one's self, and is indicated by three or more wrinkles or lines, especially noticeable, extending above the eyebrows when •the Muscle is in action.

Printers's' Blunder The public are familiar with examples of the ludicrous naistakes made in occasional moments ,by compositors; they havelur Dished food for laughter to thousands. When the Presbyterian Synod met here ever a year ago, an account of its proceed- ings appeared in the Mail _one day, contain- ing the following passage : "Rev. Dr: then 'read the report of the scommittee, which was as follows (take in.") The sin- gular scantiness, of information •imparted by this report Was rather a surprise to the rio wspaper's Kingston correspondent, though easily understood. About, a fort- night since the Oswego Palladium spoke of Mr. A. 111. Sullivan, M. P, as a gentleman "who has won the respect and admiration of frauds and enmities." There is a remote possibility that the editor wrote ." friends and enemies." We ourselves were the vie- tim of the playful blundering of the coin - posit(); in an article ' in last' night's issue. A quotation was there made from "Il PenSieroso," and, in order to show that the first word was not the commencement of a line, a -dash was prefixed. In the proof this dash appeared to be far too long; ac- cordingly a mark was drawn through it, - and ha the ' margin the words 'half as much" were written, indicating that the size of the dash was to be contracted. The article having been otherwise very correctly set, no revise was called for. What were our feelings; when the paper' appeared in the evening, to find that the language used as a direction to the proof corrector had been incorporated in _Milton's verse I- aKingatonspaitasaYSala EO.f.' course printers are not infallible. They would make fewer blunders if writers for the press would write plainer. Throw- ing an ink bottle at a piece of paper is not the most approved method of committing one's ideas to manuscript.'

In the Davidson county jail is confined'a man on the charge of murder who is given to som.Lnambulistic habits When thebaenlis of the oitY 'usher in midnight the prisoner a _ rises from his Couch in a stealthy d noieeless manner, creeps out to the door of the cell and scrutinizes the hall, or as nitioh of it SS can be seen 'through the door, And also every corner of his narrow apartment, as if intent upon satisfying himself that no one is in the vicinity. He then proceeds te take a cotton shirt and fills the body of it with the covering of the bed, also stuffing the arms full. He places this in 'one cor- ner on a, chair and pits upon the top of it a hat: Having arranged this to snit hint, the somnambulist with noiseless tread walks. over tothe place where a broom is kept and grasps it as If it were a gun, and creeps with it cat -like tread upon the figure in the chair. The manoeuvre consumed consider- able time, the" sleeper" apparently aoting as if he was -engaged in picking his way through brush. Having arrived at a point from which a. good view can be commanded he 'coolly and deliberately raises the broom in right angles to his shoulder. After taking. a long aim he goes through the same motion that one would in firing a gun. He then approaches the - chair, picks up the " dummy," and carries it to the remote corner of the cell. He then goes down on all fours and goes through the motion of digging with his hands. Flaying dug until the hole is ,large ' enough; be places the stuffed shirt in it and carefully covers it up, stamping the floor 'of the dell' as if he was preseing down uneven ground.' He then scatters over it an armful of leaves, which he goes through the process of gathering from the different pergolas of his cell.

If any one ever wanted to laugh when it would have been the height of impropriety to even have smiled, they May be reminded of their feelings on such occasions by the following good story: "In a ladies' college not far from Hamilton, a few years since, the scholars and teachers were assembled for morning prayer. The reading, and singing were over, and all were resuming their seats, when one of the young ladled, of a very short and thick stature, missing her chair seated her sell with a " thud " math° floor. Nobody smiled. Al/ were too decorous forthat. The fallen one, embarrassed into the Momentary loss of common sense'retained her lowly seat, opened her prayer book, and appeared to be earnestly engaged in exam- ining its contents. This was almost too much for her companions, and a snail° began to struggle 'on many' a fair counten- ance, when the rector rose and commenced reading the first Morning' lesson. He read from the fifth chapter of Amos, as follows The virgin of Israel has fallen ; she shall no more rise; she is forsaken upon ,her land : there is none to raise her hp. This was too much ; the voice of the rector trembled as he looked up and saw the fallen virgin ; thea scholars turned red in their faces, and the exercises were brought to it hasty close.
