The Methodist preachers and the Meth
odist Sunday School Union held a joint
meeting on Monday last in the Temple
Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Bos
ton, the Rev. L. B. Bates presiding. Af
ter devotional exercises, Professor Wil
liam Wells, of Union College, was intro
dueed to address the meeting. He spoke
on the subject of “Bismarch and the Pa
pacy,” reviewing at length the train of
circumstances which led to the rupture
which exists between the German Gov
ernment and the Papacy. He declared
that to the school system of Germany
more than any other earthly thing belongs
the honor of the German success. In
conclusion lie warned the people of the
United States of the danger which is
threatening them and their free institu
tions from the Papacy.
BPEFcn of uisiior haven.
Bishop Gilbert Haven, in accordance
with an invitation extended liy the preach
ers’ meeting a fortnight ago, addressed
tlieandieuce on thecondition of the South.
He. said that there was one class of peo
ple iu the South who had been recognized
as a nationality by the Pope, and they
would welcome his followers to these
shores : but the race freed by the people
of the North will never strike a blow
against constitutional liberty. Bishop
Haven said that there is to be a tremen
dous political battle this year, beginning
with the election of a Democratic Speuk-
r of the National House of Representa
tives. lie said that the ministers of Bos
ton are in the field of battle ; tlieir words
ire reported, and the Southern papers
comment 011 them. The question is,
‘Shall the Northern people rule the na
tion ?” “Shall the Puritan or the Cavalier
be the ruler ?” “Shall Boston or Charles-
ou be the centre ?” The Methodist Epis
copal Church is the only institution in the
South to-day that represents the Ameri
can nation.
You must, he said, stuud by your
church. There are in the South nearly
300,OttO members of the Methodist Epis
copal Church who know what they be
lieve just as well as the people of New
England, and better. They appreciate
liberty and those who gave it to them ;
they never will be betrayers, and let the
people of the North never betray them.
The malcontents of the South know that
they were defeated by one man ; that man
President Grant, and if the people
throw him over at the command of poli-
iciaus they will rue it. Pray, brethren,
that President Grant may be elected.
Pray for the true people of the South, and
you will find that thus you will be able to
keep down the kindred threatening pow
ers, the slave power and the power of the
Papacy.
The Rev. Dr. Shearman, of Brooklyn,
moved that the meeting vote that they had
heard the sentiments advanced by Bishop
Haven with great pleasure and hearty ap
proval. This motion was unanimously
adopted. All opposed were invited to
rise, but no one person mse. There was
great applause.
MEAT IS SAID ABOUT IT.
The New York Herald, commencing on
the foregoing, savs :
“Nov, if Bishop Haven were a Catho
lic prelate this speech would have been
hailed throughout the country with furi
ous disapprobation. But the Bishop is
prelate of the Methodist Church, of whir h
President Grant is an ostentatious if not a
sincere member. His church is one of
the most powerful in this country. Vig
orous in its discipline, untiring in it s en-
rgy, closely in sympathy with the a rasses
of our people, carrying its faith to the
frontiers and planting its churches . amid
every discouragement, Methodism repre
sents iu the Piotestant religion tl lat mis
siouary poselyting influence wb ich has
given,Catholicism its marvelous j power.
Nor do ‘we underrate the import: mce of a
declaration in favor of a third M rm by a
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopa t Church
It shows that President Grant, when he
made his extraordinary speech at Des
Moines knew the sentiment to which he
appealed. But we look upon tt .is decla
ration of the Bishop as deplora ble from
every point of view. It is a reflection
upon his religion and an interf erence in
our politics that we are sure w ill be re
sented by the Methodists thems elves. If
be supposes that Methodists tv ill, as a
general thing, submit to be told by a cler-
gviuan, even if he is a Bishop, w hose duty
it is to win souls to Christ, that: .hev must
vote one way or another, their sense of
independence will rebel. The declara
tion of Bishop Haven in favor 0 fa third
term will give new color to the intrigues
which have been on foot for som e time in
favor of a third term ”

good Protestants would despair of the
State unless they banded themselves to
gether to destroy the Papist. Yet here a
Bishop of the more powerful Methodist
communion, supported by two hundred
of its ministers, urges the re-election of
Grant! W e know of nothing in the histo
ry of our religious bodies, Roman Catho
lic or Protestant, that compares with the
action of the Methodist Sabbath School
Union at Boston in impertiuence and pre
sumption. We are sure it will receive
genera! rebuks from the great denomina
tion it misrepresented.”
Jim Whaler’s Death-
(From the Vicksburg Herald.)
“It makes me feel kinder sad,” said the
pilot, pointing to the bank as the boat
was ploughing the current near Lake
Providence, seventy-five miles above
Vicksburg. “When they buried him,
twenty years ago, the grave was a dozen
rods from tiie water, but the treacherous
current has eaten and eaten at the bank
till another week will float poor Jim
away.”
The passengers saw the end of a coffin
sticking out of the bank, six or eight inch
es above water. It is a lonely spot ou
the river, with no sound to break the des
olation except the beat of the paddle-
wheels as the steamers hurry along.
“It wus Jim Whalen,” continued the
pilot, as the passengers turned to him for
an explanation. “He had a wife and
babe in Orleans, and was a straight man.
He knew iivery snag and bar in the river,
and he could put his boat through any
shut in th; i darkest night you ever saw.
.Jim didn’t brag, aud some of tiie pilots
called him a chicken. Chicken ! He was
the biggest e agle that ever flew up or
down this creek, and that ur’ coffin proves
it !”
He shoved t be boat out a little, answer
ed a signal fi om an ascending steamer,
aud continued :
“I was a ci lb then—just learning the
business of Jim. You uever seed a man
who’d do his lev, :1 best for a boy as kind
ly as Jim would. No swearing or cuss
ing or cuffing, but as quiet and soft-spo
ken as a bora lady. When they laid him
away down tlier i I couldn’t have felt
worse if the old man himself had been
pitched into lieavi ai.”
He asked for a t fiicw of tobacco, and
having settled it a {ainst his left cheek, he
said :
“Over there by i Jiat gloomy canobrake,
at midnight, nigh on to twenty years ago,
the General Taylo r took fire, I was sleep
in the texas, Jim : it the wheel, and a hun
dred passengers v ere asleep, Ilow the
fire started no one .knew. The whole boat
blazed right up in i minute, scorching and
roasting people aft re they had heard the
alarm. Whew! 1. ut wasn’t it awful 1
went overboard wi th nothing on but my
cotton, and my heel s blistering, and pas
sengers and crew tu uibled after.”
The pilot rolled up> his sleeve to exhibit
the marks of the flat, jes, aud then con
tinued ;
“Not all of’em. T hirty or forty ran
forward, wild like, and afraid to jump.
The texas was afire ’ jefore I jumped, and
as I floated iu the river I saw the red
tongues of the flam es leaping around the
pilot-house. Jim ' a as thar’, and thar’,
he staid. The wat er was up, the current
heavy, and the wi jid blowing agin us,
keeping the fire b ack. If Jim went over
board it was g< jod-bye to fifty human
souls, lie saw it, and that’s where glory
covered him fr om head to foot. He held
her dead lew’, up—she ran till the engines
stopped—till half the boat was burned—
till the devil) jsh flames burned every hair
off his head, and roasting him as the wo
men serve a, piece of meat. When the en
gines stopped the boat drifted down, and
at last hebp came from other steamers.
Jim was ’picked up in the river, swiming
like a duck, but died in five minutes.”
Tnere was a long pause, and then he
added :
“Jim Whalen’s back bone saved all
them folks. He died afore they could
thank him. There wasn’t a passenger or
a deck hand who didn’t cry like a child ;
hut all they could do was to bury the poor
roasted body and press the sods down
lightly. Year by year the river has been
eating its way to the grave, and while we
shall miss it, we’ll all feel as if the big
river had more right to the coffin of brave
Jim Whalen than the shore. It’s only
his bones lying there—only his dust
which will float away, for though the gate
of heaven is narrow, it was opened plen
ty wide enough for Jim Whalen to go in
with all steam on.”
was immediately and effectually bounc
ed. That’s right. Shoot the school
tochers, any way. What right have
they to object, even if the son of an in
fluential director, backed up by home
support, turns the school into a bedlam
aud makes discipline as impossible as
though the pupils were all candidates
for the reform school.”
A Constant Reader-
BY PARMENAS Jf IX.
The overworked scribe of the Mudville
Gazette
Sat wondering—moneyless wight—
In his office would ever be cleared of its
debt,
With the times so deplorably tight—
When the tread of old leather was heard
on the stair.
And a stranger stepped into the room,
Who asked with the “don’t let me bother
j’ou” air,
Which the bore is so apt to assume—
“How are ye ?” The editor rose with a
smile
And pleasantly yielded his chair—
Placed the visitor’s sadly uubeautiful tile
(Which exhibited symptoms of wear)
Ou the top of the desk, alongside of his
own
(A shocking old plug, by the way,)
And then asked in a rather obsequious
tone,
“Can we do anything for you to-day ?”
“No—I jest called to see ’ye”—the visitor
said:
“I’m a frierd to the newspaper man”—
Here he ran a red handkerchief over his
head,
And accepted the editor’s fan—
“I hev read all the pieces you’ve writ for
your sheet,
Aud they’re straight to the p’int, I con
fess——
That ’ar slap you gin Keyser was sartiuly
neat—
You’re an ornament, sir, to the press !
“I am glad you are pleased,” said the
writer, indeed ;
But you praise me too highly, by far—
Just select an exchange that you’re
anxious to read,
Ana while reading it, try this cigar.
By the way, I’ve a melon laid up for a
treat—
I’ve been keeping it nestled in ice ;
It’s a beauty, sir, fit for an angel to eat—
Now,perhaps,you would relish a slice?”
Then the stranger rolled up half a dozen
or more
Of the choicest exchanges of all—
Helped himself to the fruit, threw the
rinds ou the floor,
Or flung them at flies ou the wall,
lie assure;! his uew friend that his “pieces
were wrote
Iu a manner uncommonly able”—
As lie wiped his red hands on the editor’s
coat
That hung at the side of the table.
“By the way, I’ve neglected to ask you
your name,”
Said the scribe as the stranger arose ;
“That's a fact,” he replied, “I’m Abma-
leeli Bame,
You have heard o’ tha. name,I suppose?
I’m a-livin’ out here on the Fiddletown
Creek
Where I own a good house and a lot ;
The Gazette gets around to me wunst
every week—
I’m the constantest reader you’ve got!
“Abimalech Bame,” mused the editor,
“B-a-ra e—
(Here his guest begged a chew of his
twist’)
“I am sorry to say you mellifluous name
Doesn’t happen to honor my list 1”

reason it should,
For ye see I jine lots with Bill Prim—

children’s behavior out in some of the

rectors of a suburban district was in

teacher. He said one of the directors
had discharged the teacher they had
employed on account of giving one of
the boys a good square trouncing. It*
seems the boy and the teacher had in
dulged in a trifling altercation, and the
boy had car rested the teacher’s cranium
with an eighteen by twenty-four slate,
and then hung the empty frame around
his neck. Of course the teacher felt
hurt about it, and he walloped the boy

Tbe celebrated author, in this admirable
Essay, clearly demonstrates, from a thirty
years’ successful practice, that the alarming
consequences of self-abuse may be radically
cured without the dangerous use of internal
medicine or the application of the knife;
pointing out a mode of cure at once simple,
certain, and effectual, by means of which
every sufferer, no matter what his condition
may be. may cure himself cheaply, privately,
and radically.
