Possessing the fine imagination you do, dead ! And so the two are laid side by
dear reader, conceive yourself upon a
brilliant Sunday morning in the spring,
in the centre of the vast Cypress Swamp,
west of the Mississippi River. You are
one of a large camp of emigrants from
east of the father . of waters, on your way
with the twenty-two household& compos-
ing the camp to a new home upon the
banks of the White River. Bee deliber-
ate in acceding to this imagination, since,
-if you do, it _makes you a member of a
church, for the camp is not only ie neigh-
borhood afloat, afuturetown upon White
River in the air, it is also a regularly
organized bhurch, pastor, ofCcore, mem-
bers, and. all. In that largo red wagon
with a dose covering, off to the right, is
a particularly large and new trunk con-
taining the pulpit cushion; the commun-
ion -service and fout, the huge gilt Bible,
the church records, and all the lesser
volumes for the psalmody and the Sab-
bath school of the building for worship,
which, by the by, wili be the very first
structure effected when this ehurch itine.

The men and women in their Sun-
day demeanor and clothing are seated in a
• semicircle, of which a rude. pulpit is the
centre, upon the hide -bottomed chairs,
brought ,along largely for this very pur-
pose.
The venerable pastor is closing a sermon
upon the divine command from creation
to slay the murderer ; and,, immediately
before him, beside some long object sup -
potted by a horse -trough under each end,
and covered with a quilt of white May-
seilles, sits the murderer, already con-
' derailed to die, and toebe hung as soon as
the benediction -is pronounced 1 The
facts being simply these : John Arm-
strong, a sande -haired, huge -limbed,
wresolute Scotch -Irishman, pillar of this
church, and born leader among men, was
the getter up of this move of the church
from its worn -outlands intNorth Caroli-
na to the new and fertile location select-
ed by himself, after years of careful ex-
amination out West, sent out by the'
church for the purpose. As the leader of
the party he always rides a few hours in
advance of the camp, along the military
road upon which they are journeying
through the swamp,to select a camping
spot for each night. •Now, only last
1\londay, they stayed in Memphis a day
or so, making the last purchases before
leaving all civilization behind and plung-

Ghee, Alfred Scott, late delegate of the
Provisional Government, all winter, and,
of course, though it is an act of charity
and mercy, yet the Canadian Govern-
ment is rich and let us have a share of
the plunder while there is any going. I
have asked a good many people what the
Mission lost by the rebellion, but the
answer invariably was entry. They Were
the wrong kind of people to suffer at the
bends of Riel and _his confreres. Well,
nsuppose it is all right, and we, the
English speaking portion of the Domin-
ion, have no right to say anything. It is
all done by order of His Highness Sir
George E. Cartier. Well, I suppose he
is "the right man in the right place."
