Others will learn f from your example that they need 3 not be very conscientious about - attending on public worship. > Talk in discouraging terms about the prospects of the con f gregation. This will make people - keep a good distance, for no person - wishes to connect himself with a sinking cause. That you may be able to talk thus, take little or no interest in the wellfare of the congregation yourself, exceptiig as you can find fault with something. Take care that your church (or lecture.room).be moderately cold and unapmfortable. Tbis 'vilI keep you froni'being crowded ot of your seats by strangers, for none will' attend but those wh'o have the spirit of martyrdom.

The people's candidate for the Presidency at-the next election is a native of Utica, New York. His father, who was one of the earlier inhabitants of that city, and a native of Middlebury, Vermont, was one of the most distinguished citizens of Central New York, and at the time of his death, which occurred about thirty-five years ago, held the office of Canal Commissioner. Horatio Seymour, after receiv ing a liberal education, studied the law. and was admitted to the bar. Being possessed of an ample fortune, and having embarked at an early age in that career in wvhich he has been so successful and so justly popular, he never practiced his profession. As a -very young man he was the ac knowledged favorite of the young Demodraey- of New -York. His pre and' Apotless character, his sound judgmet t, and his fine' ora torical powers readered him. thir ty years ago, by far the- most eon picious of the younger members of the Democratic. party of the Empire State. Tn 1850, Mr. Seymour was' ecc ,ted G-overnort of New Yoyk by a small 'majoriy, over Governor Washington Hant. In 1852, be was re-elected by a majority of. over twenty thousand.-, In '1562; he was again elected to the same high office, his term expiring in Janua'ry,1 865.- He was, therefore, Governor of New York for two' of the most irportant years Of the late civil war ; anid it is a, iiiatte-r of record that he. cordially co-oper rated with Mr. .Licoln's .adminis tration in all just measures for the ,t"a e e-osecution of tha- -r and receiv&cdth'' thanks of Mfr. bineoln for his exertions a -short tine previons to the death of the l atter.

It is not ex trava gant to state that few speecheos. of the present day have - made 'a deeper impression on the publie mind than those of' Governor Sev ihouir.' If'alected to 'the Presiden'ey as he undoubtedly will be, by' an overwhelming maj.ority-he will bring to the Presidential office talents equalled by but few~ of his predecessors.
