Viany of the first settlers of Il
linois were rude in speech ami
rough in manner. Money was
scarce with them, and service was
paid for in produce. Governor I?.,
according to t he New York Led

deipi of frontier life by the follow
ing anecdote: One day when he

"How much do you charge?"
"i ine dollar is tlielepal fee, f-ir.'
Will vou take vour fee in bees

"Yes. if vou can't pav cash."
'Well. ro ahead and tie the
knot, and I'll fetch the wax
"No," said the (squire, thinking
there was a chance tor a little lun ;
"brinz in the beeswax

Reluctantly the youth went out
to where was hitched the horse
upon which, Darby and Joan fash

S.v." 1 1 or, ,M iv 15. Tlio teneral
assembly oi tho IVesbyterito
hiirches of 1 tie United states
openfJ thin morning. Pres-ident
li .bet's, of Illinois, the reiiriBK
moJeiator, delivered an nddreea
on tlie privileges and consequent
oi..it;oii3 of ii,e IVetshyterian
churcii. He viewed the work it
length, his absorbing topic being
1 he revision question. He eaid the.
. hnrch ha-i a e'ear cut. strong and
-K-riptiiral ereed. Notw ithstanding
the few objectionable passages, th
ilieged incorrect interpretations of
-cii.tnre and fjuestioiiHble philoso
otiyof two or three paragraphs la
in- Matidanl t'.ey are a marvel ui
-kill and dialeeiic acumen. Tire
strong truths of our Ualvanietic
co e l ore not to be looked cn as
niom-troM'ies, but as necessary an
tecedar.ts of a milder and mot
:oveiblt doctrine. These bav
'eer. diawn out of God's word ia
such a way as to forbid the making
of any essential change iu them
without doing violence tot tie word.
Amonthe other privileges of
the eh urch euuuie. ated aud dilated
upon were, a noveriiment more 'n
teachings of the f-criptures tht
that of any other branch of the
church, the championship of the
c,i!se of education, the superior
necessary appliances and tbe
chutch'8 conceded wealth.
On this latter ,Hint Dr. Koxri
said in pait . "It mav eeeui doubt-
iid at sight whether riches can be
regarded as 0:10 of the privileges of
tlie church cf Christ. In then
elves considered they cannot le
an indication of moral power tr
u-e:'uli,ess. They do acquire, at
cor.tii.g to he bett known j rinci
plesof ethics, morality, as -.veil as
stieiigih. w'.ea viewed as a trust
tor God g' .iy ai.d the good of the
world.
