The Testimon of the Ronne
We take up this volume with - a peculiar I
solemnity. We handle it with feelings
of mingled reverence— and- , awe. -We
almost expect to behold it draped. with the
emblems of mourning; and in ' glancing
over its pages, the impression seems to deepen
ipbo',:as that it has been handed to us by
the author, as he was about to descend into
the grave. The Testimony of the Rocks is
a great 'work, and eminently worthy of the
elevated fame of . the author. it is great in
all - those eleMents which characterized the
volumes thathad already carried the name of
Hugh Miller into every educated circle in
'
the. wide realm ; of civilization, And justly
raised him to the highest rank among the '
thinkers and intellectual giants of his na
tive land. , Having said this, we jhave
awarded ,the highest v eulogy to-the book in
our power. - It is not ^more pictorial and.,
felicitous in its , descriptions than the Old

In speaking , on the subject assigned him,
viz., ministerial - support, Dr. Alexander
'said—l, am ready, without any .beating_

forwhat we do. I was talking lately with
alliondon business man—a successful mer
chant: He said to me, "And if= it be a
fair question, what do you get ?" I told
him. " Well," he answered, "is that all
you. get ?" "Yes, and compared with' what
many of my brethren get, it is pretty fair."
" And what dcryou >do for that ?" I said
that I would enlighten him upon -this
the first plane, I compose and write' what
would be fully two pretty thick octavo vol..
umes—about as much as any literary man
bending over his pen thinks of doing,. and,
imore'than some do in -a year: ;In the next
plane, I hay.e to do as much speaking every
week.as'a lawyer at the bar in gOod prac
in -
tice. Then, the third place, to do as
much visiting as a Surgeon in average prac
tice would do. .And in the next place, I
think I write as many - letters as many of you
great merchants do.""Well," he said,
." is yours anextraordinary cage ?" said,
Not at all ; '‘a man's duties • correspond
:with his sphere, but many of my brethren
do as muck, some of .them perhaps a little
more." 4 Well," he said'again, "they may

A few ago, ARCHBIsgor HUGHES and
a `large .'number of his friends 'art to Staten
Island, for:the, purpose, of laying -the corner
stone of a new church. At the close of the ser
vices therparty retired to the house of the rector,
where the exercises do not seem to have been
,cot,
a very : edifying character. The reporter of the
Tribune says :
After the•party,had.partaken bountifully of the
good things of this world., the Rev. Mr. Lewis
rose, and in an appropriate manner proposed drink
ing a bumper to the health of the most- Rev.
Archbishop, to which the latter briefly responded,
and in compliment to Mr. ~lignonx, the liberal
*or of the r land for the new church site, re
quested all to again fill their
,glaSses -and drink
to the health of that gentleman, which was done;
after which, in answer to the last bell," those
bound for New - York found it 'necessary to hurry
to the boat.

The Evapaelist and' (Awl's?, have eachalong ar
ticle orr. rtr. Bellows. But the Examiner (Bap
tist) of New . York, makes the severest thrust we
have seen. In a short paragraph, which we
give, the uselessness of any , farther pother: with'
Dr. Bellows is most effectively shown: , '
" Some of our friends of the religious press
are dealing hard blows upon Dr. Bellows, for
making a speech at a, dramatic festival, and sub
sequently delivering an address in favor Of the
theatre. But why'should it be thought a strange
thing..for =a Unitarian minister, of Dr. Bellows'
stamp, to become the :apologist of theatrical
amusements? We have not beard of any thing
in his religious belief or life that would prevent
him from being a. theatre-goer, - or actor. And
who knows but that the worthy gentleman intends
to exchange the puliit for the stage, inasmuch as
he regards thejatter as particularly well adapted
to littoral instruction. Dr. Chapin, the Universal
ist orator, did the very natural thing, on Sunday
last of eulogizing the stand taken by his Unita
