It is no easy matter to distingatoh be tween these two others. The VIear seems to be employed by the Rector, a ad the Corate by the Vicar, to do the bard work of the ministry. This entirr proxy business is, however, wrung, and can only exist in a state of the Ghnrcb, when men obtain high I swot ions, without either piety or learning. This is one of the great abuses resalting from a anion of Church and State. IX.

We 1 had then, in addition to'this girl, 1 an older daughter, who became al- 1 together another and a different 1 child while our new pastor was pre paring for her confirmation. She 1 became quiet and gentle; she did not, as formerly, snlk when I re proved her; she was truly changed in every respect. Nothing could j keep her away from church, and she was always one of the first there. .She fell sick a few years after she Irnii been confirmed. She was then in her nineteenth year, and the doc tor, from the beginning, gave its no hopes of her recovery. The minister came to see her almost every day, and talked with tier about death! and eternity. He also prayed with | her, and she seemed happy all the time. We eonhl not make it out. My child's sufferings, and the cer tainty of lotting her by death, natur ally tilled my heart with grief.

And so, if they tianish me Fshall be like Elias; if they throw me into the mire, like Jeremiah; if they plunge me into tlie sea, like the prophet Jonah; if into the pit, like Uaaiei; if they stone me, it is Stephen that I shall resemble f John tlie forerunner, if tliey cut off my head ; rani, if they beat me with stnpro; Isaiah, if they saw me asunder.
