"Lord, what ia man, that thou shouldst magnify
him, or that thou shouldst Get thy heart upon hm"
The Rev gentleman dwelt upon the brevity OF
lits, the lnsignlhcance OF mai or OF his mortal
frame, SO soon to be destroyed by consuming
worms-the duration of eternity, compared to
time. The infinite value of the immortal spirit
torment. The everlasting joys of the blest, rising
forever onward and higher in the infinite regions
Of bliss He spoke Of the softening influences OF
the cross upon the world The spread OF the
Africa, the Islands Of the, Southern and
Western oceans-sald "the church. going bell
was now heard sounding on the plains OF lndia;"
encouraged Christians, and that church in particu-
lar, to press forward in seeking higher attachments
in love to Christ; and for the religion, he purchased
for them by the merit OF his blood, and had trans
mitted through the apostles and their SUCCESSORS"
He said much more, and said it eloquently, too.
He is from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, or was there
thin one, although the President elect and family
formed part OF the congregation.


No one seemed to know this morning what
church the President would attend. He in this,
as in other things, kept his own councils About

Amos is clever man with his pen, but seemed to
have disappointed his friends in his administrative
qualities While Mr.. Wckliffe has held a
stiff quarrel with newspapers and express mail
operators, talking much of smailsbe matter,'
Amos was scarcely ever out of quarrels with post
masters and mail contractors. The truth is, this
department has never been well conducted, as

government more difficult to fiji! than this. 1t
place which requires the services of thorough
business man, of prompt, energetic, industrious
habits. with enlarged. and liberal views of public
policy. Instead of being assigned of late years to
such hands, any lawyer, not deemed fit for higher

Few lawyers possess the right qualifications for the
discharge Of its important duties. We trust Col.
