many farmers could not have sustained;

have had nothing to live on while they

money to pay tor what they needed. This
should tench a lesson to all who neglect the
seeming trifles of a farnt. Everything

In reply, I have the pleasure of saying

I cannot assume that I am “ the pastor” !

renly of “the pastor” to Mr. Momly is not !
characteristic of mo, and would not have
been made by me, in that form, under any
circumstances. I am not conscious of hav
ing ever been guilty of the br.u ado of mere
words.
I am glad that I can answer your note
by saying that Mr. Moody has no - , in my

words attributed to him in the correspond
ence referred to, and that I can also acquit
the correspondent of intent hum! wrung, as
he was himself led into the mistake. I am,

possessing such a man as director. Ho is
one of our staunchest citizens and is not
without honor in his own country and among

The Courier Journal and Tildex.—
The Courier-Journal of the 25th ult. con
tains a most interesting biographical sketch ;
of Samuel J. Tilden, of New York. This
sketch makes a very strong Presidential pre*
sentation for Gov. Tilden and as a campaign
document is only exceeded by the lengthy
editorial notice, iu the same issue. Would
it not be well for tlie Courier-Journal to
get up a Presidential Review, for the bene
fit of the St. Louis Convention ?
Gov. Joel Parker.—fhe Monmouth
(N. J.) Democrat, “in a spirit which knows
no denral,” presents the name of Ex-Gover-
por Joel Parker, of New Jersey, sis the can
didate for the presidency, who is most likply
to “bring.order out of.chaos,’’ to resrnie the
government in Its rapid tendency towards
Centralism and Republican overthrow, and
.to lead the Democracy to victory jn^ the
Presidential campaign of 1876.
