Wh cannot recall tbe Instance of cleri
C il settlement which atnrtt off with tuob
cboerlug pronpeot as marks tbe Initiation of
the Rev Mr. Guuilell la his duties over tbe
Pilgrim Congregatloual Chutoh of St. Lou
is. Tbe reverend gentleman was called to
St. Louis from New Britain, Connecticut,
and he, In bis first sermon lo bis new
Cbsrge, as reported In tbe Globe ol Ibnl
0 ty, likens bimseir lo Peter, who, when at
Joppa, had a call to Cajurea. He said,
'change tbe names. St. L juis for Cres4rea,
New Britain for Joppa, and Pilgrim Church
for Corns. lus, aod the fauis are sous tan
tialiy the same." Of course the name ol
Peier should be ohangrd lo Goodell. So
happy Is this gentleman in bis new Geld
tbat be exclaim: "lor your sake I will like
tills city aud live in it and not shake off tbe
dust from my feet. I will even fiod some
good iu Us coal stroke." (Tbat cau bee,
he understood by stating tbat at New
Britain they use water power for their ma
chinery,) "Its clouded water has already
become like paper currency, rather more ai
tracllve in tbe whole than real coiu. I
should know as little what lo do with a cup
ot clear water at with a good eagle." (He
ought to be careful lor a while and put "a
Utile something" In tbe Mississippi river,
for tbat water does out always "agree" with
New England bowelt It is loojenlng, like
tbe West, while New England, we know, Is
rather "constipated.") Besides loving cosl
smoke and hankering after Mississippi wa
ter for St. Louis's sake, be tellt bit new
charge what he does like. "I come' sayt
be not amoog you as a minister lo wear
black and draw down my face and peddle
the wares of a professioo for a llviog.
(Tbat reference to peddlurs wat not kind
considering be was born and brought up in
New Britain, Connecticut, where tbe nor
mal condition of man ia tbat of a peddlar.)
One thing Rev. Mr. Goodell said that bit
fellow preachers might profit by, and It wat
this: I am not going lo should you. If we
caonot get on witbout that we cauoot with.
I bave always felt Ibat it wat a bad tblog
lo tbe lamily. (Tbe reverend gentleman
on tbat point It level-beaded, for the scold.
lag minister always lasbet Just those of bis
congregation wbo do not deserve it. ) Aud
tbeo he also tellt tbem another thing be it
going to do. I am not going to bold up lo
you New England all tbe time, ana tell you
what they do tbere, aod bow you ought lo
be like them. It would be like a young
married man Informing bit wife at tbe
breakfast table every morning bow bis
mother made bash, wisbiog be bad some of
that. (Hasb might do every morning for
breakfast lor a few mootbt but at a steady
diet It would beoouie monotonous in the
course or yean, even if made; as your moth
er made It.)
An important question baa come np at
Newburg, N. Y., between a Romish priest
ana a perisuoner. A Mr. Ryan wished to
erect a monument over the graves of aj son
and two daughters. The priest demanded
ot tne parlsoner a fee of tea dollars before
tbe monument could be erected. Tbe par
ishooer thought the fee exorbitant and re
lined to pay it, aod the priest fastened tbe
gatea of tbe cemetery. Tbe marble cutter
eugaged on the monument lound entrance
however, and proceeded to lay the lounda.
iion, wnen the priest 'procured a warrant
and arrested Ibe parishioner and tbe marble
suuer, wno propose lo oarry tbe case up
a d bave tbe oonrt decide what rights tbe
tsveral parties bave.
' Tbe case excites a good deal of Interest lo
