The imperative need tberough consecration to his Saviou and his work, and for familiarity wit the word of God, were espe3ially e forced. After describing the spirit earnest love that must necessari actuate the true Christian worke Mr Seldon mentioned in detail man requisites to be possesaed by th skilled worker, and suggested helpfu plans for individual effort. Th President,Mr Booth, certainly uttere the sentiment of the meeting, whe be predicted a barvtst of good result from the thorough, practical remark of the earnest speaker. His EXPERIENCE PUT IN RHYME —On Tuesday morn, at early dawn. before the rise of sun, said Will to Joe "I'll fishing go, I know a splendid run. There i3 a stream where fine fish teem—it's not so far away—and as the town is quieting down, I'll go off for a day. To make a haul, both great and small, you bet I'll catch a string; so you just wait, (I may be late) and see what all I bring." His pole and line he shouldered fine and struck a steady gait;. sandwich and cake did also take and basket with some "bait." The stream was reached,hisoutfit beached, and he began to fish, but long before the day was o'er, himself in town he wished. Fish did not bite, try how he might, with bait both good and strong; there did not seem, in that fine stream, a fish six inches long.— Still fishing In vain, it started to rain, and poured in torrents not thin, that he vows to the last it came down so last, he was drenched through and through to the skin. It rained all the day, but be still fished away, with no better luck at all ; nar' a trout did he get, (but annoyingly wet) and the few fish he bad wereso small. Now what was his name, who thus earned this fame? We know, but prefer not to note ; ask the clerk of the town, he has jotted it down every time he has signed William Coats. g a- h, obye f he is he aa - for r, b of ly r, y 1 e d a a NorEs.-x--Miss Murney, Goderich, who has been the guest of Mrs W.
