The special business before the court was the call to Rev. Joh Rose from Joh Madagawatch and River, -5, ennis, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Collin ssioners Hugh Chambers and Alex. AlacLea.n, from the ses- sion and congregation of .Ashfield, and sev- eral of the members of the congregation were present; all of whom expressed their strong attachment to Mr. Rose as their pas- tor, and their regret if the issue of the call Should be sesieranee of the pastoral tie. air. McLeod presented the claims of the congre- gations calling. Mr. Rose stated his- mind and spoke of his tender interest in and affec- tion for his people, at the same time he was led to the conclusion that lifeline of duty for him was to aecept the call subject to the approval of Presbytery. The Presbytery, on motion, agreed to the translation of Mr. Rose frent his present charge of Ashfield to that of Millegawateh. and River Dennis, Cape Breton, and placed on record its high appreciation of the character of Mr. Rose as &Christian and minister.

Leave was granted to Mr. A. AleKay to moderate in a call to North Kin- loss, Riversdale and Eimiskillen. • A Little Queen, The snow is lying out in the street. It has been swept from all the sidewalks, and that makes good sleighing. The butchers and grocers have been going about with Jingling bells, and the boys have been snow- balling. Just now a little queen passed. eStihri ees;rit in a rocking chair that was tied se- en ee, pretty red sled. An old shawl had been pin on the chair first, and then she sat down and it was tucked all about her. On her lap was a, eoat ; she wore a jacket, and sh over the jacket a white flannel awl, that must have been her when she Was a baby. A tightly fitted hood and a veil over her face completely hid the little C la i een, Her horse is her papa. He has no gloves on, and no overcoat, and his shoes are quite old, but he is prancing and kick- ing in the most violent fashion, and when the little queen nearly falls from her throne alabligehtrirtogt, and ti, hoersbeesltlon his neck jingles arts off at a comfort- th.gaY1Y. trot, they come back again. I bear em laaighing The horse is prancing and arching his neck, and generally behaving in a reckless manner. How the little queen laughs ! and, strange to say; so jowl the horse. Away he goes down ,the hill at a safe trot, aid the little queen is sitting back with great dignity. The little queen lives in two small rooms probably, with a great many other people living in the sa e house. There may be no carpet on the floor, but the little queen does not care • s le has her papa, who plays horse with her, laud a marntna • who sings lullabies, and the only world she knows is full of love, and she Is the queen who re- ceives it all. . .Why is it .Wrong to Bet ' Because there is it wrong motive at the ., bottom of it. ' It is indulged in, as it seems to me, be- cause of one out of two things—each equally harmful. . - 1.—If it proceeds from an unrighteous cause, viz., a desiire for unlawful gain, or dishonest. merely an effort o gam cr it for a super- ior wisdom, whi h is not really possessed, because the ream t is depe dent on a chance or stratagem. I either ase, dishonesty is at the root of it. It may be a d ire for o her 'men's goods or money, or it ay be t ying to deceive others; one thin it is—a false assumption of what is not in reality ou a, and. therefore ,2.—If it proce da from a restless crav- ing for excitemen , and lov of incident—a very common re on, and ot so dishonour- ing as the first c wee ; bu tO indulge in betting is then fo a man i the highest de- gree to sin agains himself. He is producint desires hich will never be satisfied ; e is or ating illusions which will never •e realize ; he is ,promot- ing envying and strife a d going in the train of those eta spoken if in St. James iii. 14-16, and Ro ans xiv. 13-14. The first case matitutes a wrong in it. self, but letting at pass, ' ishoneety is an offence against G, I and me ; while in the second case, it is nuly Ciao vident that in degrading himsel a man dishonours his Maker. , a A God. Hymn, The Bishop of akefield, writing in the Sunday Magazine " What constitutes a good hymn ?" say. ;.that perhaps the most !modern example o hymn of pure praise is Bishap Heber's agnificent ' Holy, hely, holy, Lord God A mighty." There are many fine hymns of pr iso, such as the " Old Hundred," " Pra se, tny soul, the King of Heaven," the C rustmas hymn, "Hark ! the herald angels sing," and the Easter hymn, " Jesus Christ is Hoek, to -day," which, however, are not direct addresses to God, and Bishop Heber's hymn stands almost alone in the splendour of its heaven- ward adoration. Speaking of the popular procession hymn, " Onward Chrietian Soldiers," he recalls a passage in Bishop Phillips Brooks' ''Joct,ILres on Preaching," in which, djseussjnp4 the decadence of cur- rent Christianity ifrom Gospel times, he says, " A row of comfortable, self content- ed, conservative ladies and gentlemen stand- ing up and singing " Onward Christian Soldiers, marching as to war," reminds us of h w unmilitary and unheroic are the lives they live." q, night Want to he " Why, yes, T what it was" "Dreamt I was among the eters."

"But it was, papa. I was no more than dead when I got a ong a lot of spirits, big fellows all dresse4t in white, and they knowed right away bout any being the best catcher on the Ran own nine, so the first thing they said wa "Hurray ! here's our great catcher at last, and before I knew it I was catching bad of one of those big white fellows, and,. hat do you think, he was using the tale f a comet fSas a bat. 'Way off in the istauce (say, tRiSey have awful big diamonds p there) was another fellow pitching, and 11 he did was to pluck' one of the stars out f the Milky Way and throw it et me for a baseball. Say, papa, you've seen those fa ing stars? Well, theY say they're meteors. New that's nonsense, 'cause they're the alls the catchers up there misses. "By-and-by our s e (that's ,the Comets, you know) got in, an the score stood 16 to 0 in favor of the Mil y Ways. ,13y -and -by it was my turn at th bat, and I felt kind of afraid, 'cause the cot et's tail looked awful bright, but I seized and swung it round two or three times, d it didn't burn a bit. 'One ball!' cried th umpire as the pitcher sent a star singina po, t me (and it wasn't fair, either, 'cause they pitched it when I was trying the bat). ' 1 bracedmyself for the next one, and th4ln that pitcher:thought he'd fool me. Maki& g out to catch a ball from the Milky Way he turned roand, and, reaching 'way out, What do you think he did? Why, he grabbed our world, that we're living on, and threw it at me with all his might. Well, they couldn't knock out the Rangtown catcher that way, for I just swung the bat around, and bit the old 'world an awful crack. I bursted that cornet bat all to pieces and hit a foul. I looked up, and there Was the world a-comin' right down into my hands. It was a, fine chance, and I couldn't let it pass, and I just caught it. "Alt of those fellows began yelling 'foul r and then I woke up. And, papa, what do you think? I had fallen out of bed, Init I had a bully time, though."—Har- pers. • -Sons' of' he Manse. Let me give you (sjays Dr. Thain David- son) a few names frdm the lengthy list of those who were sons 4f the manse or the. vicarage. Amongst cjelcbratcd poets I may mentien Goldsmith, r hoinson, 'Young, Cow- per, Coleridge, Mont ornery, Heber, Lowell, and Tennyson: Amongst historians and men of literary fame, Hallam, Macualey, Kingsley, Addison, SWift, Sterne, Thackeray and Emerson. Amongst eminent physicians, Dr. Jenner, Sir Aktley Cooper and Sir Charles Bell. Amongst men of science, Boerhaave, Berzelius, Linnams, Playfair, - Wollaston and Sir D. Brewster. Distin- guished officers, Lord Nelson and Sir Fran- cis Drake. In architecture I have but to name Sir Christopher Wren; while in art, Sir Joshua Reynolds will worthily represent the claSs. In intellectual philosophy the catalogue is almost too numerous' to record ; butithe names of Dugald Stuart,. Cudworth, Reid, Brown and Bentham will suffice. • t.

This see a to show that fire wardens afford a consid rable degree of pro- tection. The Minnesot plan will probably be adopted soon by ott+ States. • One Woman's Experience. I have known many nen in my life, and have come to the conclu ion that one accu- sation brought against hem as true; they -are bored by talk not , directly involving themselves. I can recall but two who di played the least interest in what I coul tell them, of my thoughts, my tastes, m feelings. The others were quite willin that I should listen lo their various adve tures, their loves and hates, their affairs, smiling interest in alt that concerned then but when I began to tell of myself their a tention wandered, they changed the sub- ject, or listened in a perfunctory way, which was even worse. And therm were n particularly selfish men, and not at all u t. kind ones; they were good fellows, wit the best and most friendly feelings; it was" simply not their nature to be intereate c. Their receptive natures made thein very dq- lightful companions, and it seems a pit fr that the native article, with his kindnes his hardworkingness, his trustworthiness and his general good qualities, should not be a bit more sympathetic, too. col mo per cot gra we she dre The Baby's Name, he Youth's Companion tells of a little ored baby in Washington, ivhich tho ther, a respectable colored wothan, asked mission to name for Mrs. Harriet Pres t Spofford.

Opportum y to get a Home. The superior advantages of Michi- gan for farming and fruit raising are known to all the world. That there is no bettkr state in the union in which to secure a comfortable home, with the means of making a livelihood and eventually of acquiring a competence, is proved by official comparisons with other states. In the first place, consider ter loca- tion. Surrounded by the Great Lakes, the climate is tempered to a degree eminently pleasant for man and rl*htly conducive to the growth of the most valuable productions of the Temperate Zone. Here no cyclones sweep across the land, to destroy the results of patient and hard labor, and often add the horror of death to the visitation. No floods occur, to wipe out the home of the settler and send him and his amily fleeing for their lives. Here he an rest secure. _ The agriculture of thekstate is prob- bly of a more diversified character han in any other portion of the corm- ry. The Lake, Huron shore is the lura belt of the -world, and the same nay be said of,l the Lake Michigan hare as to peaches. Central Michi. an farnis are the .admiration of 11 visitors. Everywhere the land is ell_watered by small lakes and rivers, nd everywhere it is well timbered. Its ertility is shown in reports made by he'Departrnent of Agriculture. a a a While in the important crops of wheat and corn Michigan ranks very high in points of yield per acre, the state is peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of small fiuits and berries. Immense quantities of these are ship- ped annually from lier farms. The businesS is at once very pleasant and high y profitable. A a ; stock -raising and dairy state, Micl igali has a leading place. The rapi profits of cattle -raising are well kno n, and • at present this business offer inducements worthy of prime eons' eration. In val e of principal crops per acre, Michigan stands above Ohio and Penn- sylva ria; and in valu.e of all crops per acre, she leads many Southern States whosb su Iposed' advantages have drawn to them s many northern farmers. The ,va ue of Michigan land, as indi- cated by he value of the crop from it, exceeds the average of California, Oregon. ar d lArashington. . Timber for 'building is abundant and cheap. t ichigan has a greater variety of natural woods than is' possessed by any other state in the United States. The farm &r is not put to the great ex - of boring artesian wells or digging great ditch, to irrigate his land. Railway faciiities are excellent. Michigan is, the great highway of rail and water transit. The settler does not have to leave church and school behind him in order to obtain a home of his own. These privileges—they shoulcl be considered necessities—meet him at every hand. He does not have to leave relatives and old friendsfar away. He need not go thousands of miles into a strange country, where: mails are few, and where he can hope to seldom or never 'again see the beloved faces of old friends or nei0bors. The opportunity of acquiring a home in, Michigan should be worth a great deal more than in less favored locali- ties. To live where the land yields more ; where tornadoes or floods never come ; where churches and schools are at hand, is better for everybody. This might well cost more. But it costs less. The best land in Michigan can be bought,at 'exceedingly low prices and on small and easy payments. The choieest locations are in the- market. .He vlio, has a farm has independence, and it is not necessary to add words here to the many arguments which are sumined up in ,"Get a home." Every braneh; of agriculture—horticulture, st6c1r-raising, ;dairying, fruit raising, gardening—can be suited in Michigan. She has' the best that is going.
