At the annual meeting of I355 We found that our subscriptions did not amount to what we intended; and we urged one an- other to increased diligence that our sub- scriptions might be more next year. One of our number got up and said, “ The. bag for this year is not full. Let us try if we cannot choke it up before we talk about next year." Then we began to search our pockets, and by some means or other we got up to what we promised, and we were very happy, and thanked God for giving us the means.

We are prospering spiritually and torn- porally. Men and women are imitating the good ways of you foreigners, who have come to us with the blessings ofthe gospel, and whose customs were never before known in this land. We are planningto get more money for the coming year, and we have already obtained something to- ward it. This is my woi-d to you Mr. Moneyholder. Do not be cast down ; you have hitherto had much, and I hope you will yet have more. VVe will do what we can, and would do tnore; but we have no hole where gold is found. These are our desires that the word of tiod may increase among us, and spread throughout the world. The amount of our subscription for 1855 is two hundred and thirty dollars. Signed,

Fn.tvxt.i.~t’s SoN.—The inauguration of the Franklin statue at Boston, Massachu- setts, has been the occasion for reviving in- cidents connected with the life of the p|ii- losopher. His only son, \’Villiaui, was Governor of New Jersey at the time of the Declaration of Independence, and did what he could to prevent the legislative Assem- bly of New Jersey froin sanctioning the procei.-din,_r:s of the General Congress ot Philadelphia. These efforts, however, did but little to stay the tide of popular senti- ment in favour of resistance to tyranny, and soon involved him in diﬂiculty. He was deposed from oﬂice by the Whigs to give place to William Livingston, and sent a prisoner to Connecticut, where he remain- ed about two years in East Windsor, in the house of Captain Ebenezer Grant, near where the Theological Seminary now stands. In 1778 he was cxchan ed, and soon after went to England. here he spent the remainder of his _life, receiving a pension from the British Government for the losses he had sustained by his loyalty. He died in ISI3, at the age of eighty-two. The opposition of the son to the cause the father espoused produced an estrnngernenti between them, and in Franklin's will, speak- ing of his son, he says:-—“ The part he acted against me in the late war, which is of public notoriety, will account for in leaving him no more of an estate he endeav- oured to deprive me of.”

When quite a youth Franklin went to London, entered a printing oﬁcu, and in- quired if he could get employment as a printer _ _

"Where are you front?” inquired the foreman. _

“ America," was the reply. _

“ Ah!” said the foreman, “from Ameri- ca! a lad from America seeking employ- ment as a printer! Well,_ do you really understand the art of printing? Can you set type?"

Franklin ste pad to one of the cases, and in a very brie space, set up the following Pusnge lltorn the first chapter of the Gos- pel b St. John: "

“ 'uthuniel saith unto him, Can any good thi come out of Nazareth? Philip nigh unto im, Come and see.”

It was done so quick, so accurately, and

~ contained a delicate reproof, so appropriate

and powerful, that it at once gave him character and standing with all in the oﬁce.

Tasivsrusrino or Evaricasr:ris.—Ever- green trees, says the Plan Itniun, are as safely and easily transplanted an apple trees, provided the transplanter knows how to do the business. He must take a nod with the tree ; for the bark on the roots is so tender that the tree cannot be pulled up with safety. Take a sharp spade, and cut the roots twelve to eighteen inches from the trunks, in case it is six feet high, and take up it and corresponding with this cut. The bark on the roots of evergreens is so tender that on pulling up the young tree it peels ell’, and the root is loll bare. Pines taken out of u thicket, where they have not often seen the sun, are not so likely to thrive as those that have been more expos- ed. Take them from open grounds where they are not wanted, and there is no trou- ble about transplanting.

Errrsc-r or Eiurrusrs -The different ‘meaning that may be iven by emphasis is shown in Lord Edward Fitzgerald's apolo- gy to the British House of Commons. In a moment of great excitement, Lord Ed- ward said: “ Sir, I do think that the Lord Lieutenant and the majority of this House are the worst subjects the King has." This was followed by loud cries of “ To the liar,” and “Take down his words,” and three hours were spent in ineffectual attempts to induce him to apologize. At last he reported to have said, with some humour, “ I am accused of having declar- ed thatl think the Lord Lieutenant and the majority ofthe House the worst sub- jects ol the King; Isaid so; ’lis true, and I

Vu.u|: or Diii'r.—Mr. R. S. Whitﬁeld, resident medical oﬂicer of St. Thonias’s Hospitals states that the corporation of Antwerp now receive l'20,000 francs a year for the sweeping of the streets and the contents of the cesspools, contractors converting the nuisances into powerful guano. Formerly the Corporataion used to pay $20,000 francs yearly to get rid of the city refuse. At Paris and Milan “town guano” is manufactured which has extraor- dinary powers as a fer-tilizer.

THI Minis Rirr.a.—A melancholy proof

a ball has been given at Magdeburg. Some soldiers were ﬁring at a target at I000 paces. Labourers were at work 700 paces beyond—that was thought to be a safe distance ; but one of the poor fellows was mortally wounded by a bullet. [A sheep has been accidentally killed in England with the Enlield riﬂe from a distance of 2500 yards.]

' Istraovstitartr iii INDIA Rtrassa Oven- s.—A ventilating India rubber over- shoe has been invented by Mr. J. A. Pease of New York. By this improvement the unhealthiness and unpleasantness arising from the use of rubbers is entirely obviat- ed. The inner surface of the rubber is rib- bed or corrugated, and thus allows a cir- culation of air between it and the boot over which it is worn. The perspiration of the foot is thus allowed to pass oil‘. the health is promoted, and the comfort of the wearer

PAonv's R.srsac'rioit.—'l‘he famous Sir Boyle Roche once remarked, “ Single mis- * fortunes never come alone, and the reat- est of all possible misfortunes is generally followed by a much greater." Hirer Accinsn'r.—-A man in Florida, who swallowed an orange seed last fall, has a breath so fragrant of orange blossoms this spring, that he says the ladies are con- stantly teasing him for kisses. Poor fellow!
