it re ort recently published in the figures painted upon them—Which it
Falkirk erald, of the annual congrega-
tional soiree of the Dunipace Free Church
the following interesting Scottish remin-
iscences were given in a speech by one
of the distinguished divines present:
The Rev. Dr. Adam very happily chose
to give a few reminiscences of bis con-
nection with Dunipace, and began by
stating that he was a native of Denny,
`and spent his earliest days in. this dis-
trict. He pictured. out the Rev. John
Dempster, the minister of Denny, who
rode about on his " Waterhio charger,"
and briefly recalled the times. When
the period arrived for the Rev. Doetor
to come forth as a preacher of the Gos-
pel,he was asked to come and preach by
the Rev. Dr. Bonar in Larbert and Dmii-
pace, and he was unanimously appointed
assistant. Lodgings had to be found,
and the house of an old lady was fixed
upon, and the doctor told how the plain-
ness of the lodgings were not quite to
his mind, when he contrasted them with
the luxurious manner in whieh he had
been living as tutor in wealthy families.
Bat upon the old lady recounting that
the Rev. Dr. Hannah, the Rev. Mr.
M'Cheyne, the Rev.' Dr. Somerville, (the
present inod.erator of the Free Church),
the Rev. Dr. Arnot, and the Rev. Mr.
Morrison had lived there,he was shamed
into contentment. The Rev. Dr. Boner
had received the very best character for
training ministers, and there were few
probationers that would not make an
effort to get to Dunipace. There was
not a large salary, only i:68 a year, and
he (the reverend doctor) kept himself
and a pony, but once a gentleman
remarked to him that he would not like
to -have been the pony. (Laughter and
applause.) He was only about a year in
Dunipace, but these were troublous
times, for the Disruption was coming on,
and the people were taking sides. Dr.
Adam preached the last sermon in the
Dunipace Church on the Disruption Sab-
bath, choosing as his text, lst Peter, 1st
chapter, and 7th verse, That the trial
of your faith„ &c.," and before him sat
the Adams' of Denovan, the Forbeses
of Herbertshire, Mr. Harvie Brown of
Dimipace, and the M'Nairs of Dunipace.
None of these came out but the good
Mrs. M'Nair of Dunipace House. After
the Disruption they removed to Risk
barn,in the neighborhood, where services
were conducted. The platform, upon
which a table and chair were set, was
reached by a ladder. Dr. Adam preach-
ed on the first Sunday in the forenoon,
his text being "The Lord is my Shep-
herd, I shall not want," and Dr. Bonar
in the afternoon, and his text was My
Servant Caleb followed the Lord fully,'
aud he, (Dr. Adam), remembered that
the grotesqueness of the situation nearly
-upset the gravity of Dr. Bonar. Then
recollections were very forcibly brought
to mind, Dr. Adam said, by a recent ex-
perience. Just before the Philadelphia
Pan Presbyterian Council was held, he
was accosted by the way by a gentleman
from Canada who asked him if he knew
where Dr. Adam lived. The reverend
Aoctor said he did, as he was Dr. Adam.
'The gentIman said he believed he (Dr.
Adam), intended being at the Pan Pres-
byterian Council, and he entreated the
=doctor to come to Canada if he Was at
Philadelphia. Nearly all the ministers
go to Canada. They go to the States
and not to Canada,a.nd. Canada has much
moved in common with Scotland, and
the gentleman promised be would show
him, (the doctor), everything. (Ap-
plause. The gentleman was a Mr. Kerr
and belonged to Dartipace. He remem-
bere‘a the text of the first sermon he
(Dr. Adam), preached in Dunipace. It
was chosen from the 87th psalm " Glor-
ious things are spoken of thee, 0 city of
God," and also the text of the last ser -
Eon preached on the Disruption Sab-
bath. This shows that sermons of up-
wards of 40 years ago are still remem-
bered. In Dunipace there were some
extra good critics. There was one extra
sharp critic. The Rev. Dr. Arnot, who
was at one time assistant in Dunipace,
came to preach on a fast -day, and the
Rev. Dr. Bonar asked. David Stark, the
extra critic, "do you think the old help-
er has improved ?' Dr. Arnot had com-
pressed two sermons into one coming
from GIas,gow to the country, and in the
course of the delivery of the sermon, he
had repeated frequently "If time had
permitted." David replied," He shaped
plenty if he didna sho muckle." (Great
laughter and applause.) Some of the
heritors thought he (Dr. Adam), might
stay, but he regarded the path of duty
was clear. To another congregation who
wanted him to stay innancr not go out at
the Disruption, he said "No"; he would
go forward in the path of duty. (Loud
applause). The Rev. Dr. Adam con-
cluded his interesting address by tender-
ing some sage advice.
[ED. NOTE.—The Mr. Kerr above re,
ferred to is our old friend, Mr. John
Kerr, of McKillope]
would be no sin to worship, smee • they
are not" in the likeness of anything in
the heavens above, or the earth beneath,
or the waters under the earth."
My little brass bedstead, whose slen-
der frame -work is kept so polished that
it glitters like gold, is draped, curtained
and berufiled like a French woman's,
but has no manner of springs, and its
adamantine maltreat I would gladly ex-
change for a good, soft board! We
have no " quilts " and seldom an use
for blankets in this portion of Mexico ;'
and the single counterpane of damask,
gorgeously flowered in erimaon and
green, fringed all around and tasseled
at the corners, is carefully disposed so
as not to conceal the fine linen sheets
which trail far below it. The latter are
edged on all sides with lace and gar-
nished with much "drawn work" of ex-
ceeding fineness and elaborate pattern.
Mexican pillows are not fat and
square, like ours, but are narrow, flat,
and•each exactly as long as the bed is ,
wide, like our bolsters. Their pink or
crimson "ticks" are stuffed with cotton
or Spanish moss (never with feathers)
and their cases: are •the special pride of.
the housewife. They are of finest linen,
with broad stripes of crocheted or lace
insertion set in at the sides.
Over the various species of animals
which occupy that couch conjointly
with myself, disputing its possession,
and often gaining the day—or rather
the night—it is well to discreetly' draw
the veil, merely remarking that in this
tropical climate other creatures abound
than the wicked flea—respecially when
"no man pursueth."
Very sensibly, in this vermin -infested
country, trunks are never set flat upon
the floor and their contents left to the
tender mercies of mice, cockroaches et
al., but are elevated upon rocks made
kir the purpose. Closets and: ward -
exports of live stock from Canada and
dead meat from Australia, have had a
°depressing effect on the prospects of the
British farmer.
—About two weeks ago D. McCallum,
a carpenter working a few miles frOm
St. Thomas, was taken seriouslir ill, and
since that time has suffered with most
excruciating pains in the stomach and
frequent attacks of vomiting, which re-
duced him -to a mere skeleton, On Fri-
day he was taken with a worse attack
than usual and vomited a large lizard,
which it is supposed he swallowed while
taking a drink of water. He will prob-
ably recover.
—A balloon of colossal dimensie s,
and said to be capable of being gui ed
at will, has been for some time in course
of construction in Berlin. The balloon
is 500 feet in length and 50 feet in diam-
eter. the total aveight is about 43,000
pounds, the envelope and netting alnne
weighing 10,000 pounds. The propel-
ling machinery consists of two steam
enghtes of fifty horse -power each, and
the entire cost is estimated at £5,000.
--In a prominent part of Lewiston
there stands to -day a rotten, tumble
down old building that would have been
demolished long ago had not its °wrier,
being angry because the soldiers' monu-
ment was not built where he wished,
abandoned all his proposed improve-
ments and declared that the old hulk
should never be torn down or repaired,
but always remain there, a blot on the
the city and a monumental gratification
of his resentment.—Lewiston Journal.

writes Fannie Ward, Its massive door,
elaborately carved by hands that havp

spoiled by paint or varnish. It is gar-
nished with enormous iron hinges and
staples, like the fastenings of a barn,
and opens of course into the upper cor-
ridor facing the court. The one window
looking upon the street is indeed "a
thing of beauty and a joSi-forever," the
soft gray of its wooden bars (in lieu of
the eustomary iron) enlivened by the
scarlet blossoms of the vine clambering
up outside, while las deep ledge serves
me for a book -case; writing desk and
curiosity shelf in general. There are
neither shades nor glass in this window,
and its oaken shutters are seldom closed.

How the Great Duke Becamr,
- an Eton Boy.
It is not often that a boy is at. two
great public schools before he is 12 years
old, but as Etonians are ve proud of
claiming comradeship wit the great
Duke of Wellington, I may s Well tell
you how he came to Eton. When he
was 11 years old he was at Harrow.
There was a serious riot at he echool,
because a favorite master h d not been
promoted to the headrea tership. A
number of the boys attaeked the carriage
of one of the governors, nd literally
broke it to pieces. Foremos among this
band of e.onspirators was y' ung Arthur
Wellesley. Archbishop Cor wall is, who
was his guardian, heard o his ward's
misbehavior, and sent for Ilim at once.
Far from showing repentai ce, the boy
danced into the room, flouri hing one of
the tassels of the carriage a d shouting
" Vietory !" The Archbi hop was so
angry that he took the boy rom Harrow
and entered him at Eton at nce.—Little

best that are made for time, if they are aliaa
good as mine. Yours truly, JOHN WESTLAKE.

That I could scarce believe -it good,
But science with its searchings deep,
Has done what custom never could-,
And I have proved the truth of this
That highest value must attach
To that which never goes amiss,

Its neatness is as unsurpassed
As its good qualities are proved,
'Tis aacurate and made to last,
A watch by punctual men approved.
An able judge would pick thein out
Of every makeeis in a batch,
And none who tries will ever doubt
Papst's great " Columbus" watch.
The makers to the public sell
Their watches at the lowest price,
And all they do they do it well,
Without one trait of false device.
They don't incur a dime of debt,
They have no doubtful schemes to he
And never has been equalled yet,
The American Columbus' watoh.
I do admire the highest art,
And love in all things excellence,
For beauty seems the dearest part,
And worth the most approved by se
Beauty and worth combined have they,
And if you would have both to match
Decide without delay to buy
Papst's great" Columbus" watches.
