finding she was a.Christian, a solitary light
burning in a dark place, I asked her how
she kept rip the life of God in her soul with
out,Ohristian society. She, drew from her

- In thelift' le parish wherej, live, far: re
moved from• the bustle and noise of city
lite; and as obscurely rural' as any reasona
ble„-hemit could desire, there dwell two
deacons. They, both' belong to the same
`Athutelimeetinq we say in these parts, for
we have lost very‘little of our puritanical
habits since the, advent of 'the Mak
flatoei—and-- are both very conscientious,
nobleAnindad.and 'pious men. They are,
_hoitiver, their tefifferiunitit; widely

lake: Merely of, populatity,' and so wat he
`Maye

'pease, neverthelesS, ioniatimes life,
principle.
They tell its, too, that, he has'nt a thimble
I rfult of what they call moral courage. But
_that is not sny - estimate, Of the man. I re
gard him as one of the finest and best men
!that ^God hin mercy permits' to bless the

Pie ; "
- Our other deacon—we hate but two in
the whole parish—igimpolsive, impatient of
contradiction, ..not' , very '," slow to. anger,"
(th9ugh believe he is not in the habit of
letting "the sun go down upon his wrath,")
and flamingly zealous in pursuing whatever
:eoureeilfe believes- . to, be sight. He holds
his religious opinions ,as, tenaciously as if
they' were a parts of himself, like his hand,
his foot, his-consciousness, or', his- memory.
He acts so hastily, that he sometimes, of
coutse,stets wrong. Then he is sorry, con
-
femme his faults, and is as humble
,a 4 a little
, .
The deaoon fast described, we ,call,John;
'the , other Peter. We consider them both
devotedly pious, and both invaluable as
members of society, each naafi', in his own
peculiar way. In fact, both' spirits seem to
be equally necessary. Where Deacon John
is,too mild .much disposed to gloss over
a bad matter , for fear more harm will result
'from stirring it up than from letting itjilone
''—Deacon Peter comes in , charged' to the
muzzle, and blazes away, as old Mardi Tat
tier lined to do in his day.
Deacon Peter is .an old-fashioned man
- - -
Hi .does'nt believe much in .new-fangled
Dario* and is desperately 'jealous of all
manner of inventions. If he adopts, as he
dike .sometimes, a new style of scythe, a .
horse rake, or:a patent churn, it is not.until
hehas expended a great many cubic feet of
breath in declaiming against it.
I must tell you a little incide'nt in which
this trait of 'character, coupled with that of
being greatly "set in his ways," was ex
hibited in a remarkable degree., I relate it,
cunt te show 4he unamiable and unlovely part
•of the good old 'gentleman's' character' but,
is I,'Wbuld'. story , of Simon Peter's
shanieadental-of his Master, in. order that
I miglitbring tint more clearly the admira
ble-graces that ruled in that noble disciple's
heart.
It was decided that our minister's wife
ha've' liandSoine nevi.year's 'present.
What that present should be, it was not
quite So easy to -determine. However,
most of the gentlemen and,ladies of the
parish, who took an interest ;in the affair,
came together at Deacon Peter's house, in a
rather informal way, to deliberate upon the
; question. No proposition was made for a
sowl while—everybody seemed to. be in a
,modest -.mood. At length Deacon . John -
Suggesteda sewing machine. He was never
given to long speeiduns, and what he: said at
this time, in favor of hie, proposition,• was'
comprised in a very few , words. , •
Deacon Peter ,ditrot lilre',the idea of a
sewing machine, and he waxed rather in ,
temperate in his• opposition to it. Others,, .
however, spokein its favor. Deacon Peter..
was the: only person who raised any objeC-..
Lion to it,,though he shelved spirit" enough,
to have furnished, at least a dozen others,
Well, after a great deal Of talking,Abe ques
tion was decided by aypte,,, 77l 4frided
_in favor

Poor Deacon Peter! he was in a very unen
viable state of mind, bordering, .I fanny, on
that of Jonah, when his Divine Master in
formed him that Nineveh Was not to he de
iiioyed, after all. I am not 'sure bat ; he
felt like. that prophet, that "it was bitter
for bim to die than to live." I am afraid
,be said some really.nohandsomethings
about Deacon Johnlaid: his 46 newlarcgled
notional!, and his 44 goki4:forrrothing, ,whirli
'gigs!' He wonld'nt give . cent .for the
' 64. nonseire." However, the 'titioney , was
'easily raised without him. One of Grover

the people, of course; and so there was a
perpetual jubilee in the neighborhood,
touching the sewing machine in the custody
of our minister's wife. All were delighted
with the feats it performed—all but Deacon
Peter. His enmity to it lasted a long time.
It came to an end, though, at last; and it
was on this wise: The old man mustered
courage enough to call at the minister's
house and to face the enemy. It was de
cidedly the best thing he could have done.
He SSW the object of his spleen—saw it in
operation. He marked the wonders it per
formed; be heard the praises which the
minister's wife lavished upon it; he was
convinced; and,the first thing be did was to
walk straight over to Deacon John's house,
and to ask his pardon in the most humble
and childlike manner, for the injury he had
done him especially., Nor was this all. A
few days after, one of GroVer & Baker's:
sewing machines, in - a handsome rosewood
box, was sent to Deaeon John's *ife, with a
note, stating , . 'that it was "from a man who'
had made ;fool of himself, , and who wished
to Make all the reparation he could for his
folly." Blessings on the good old man`!

cc Fifty years ago there were in the *hole
United State's' one;diocese, two bishops,
Sixty. eight priests, - -ei g hty;churches, two
`Eceleiiistical 'lnstitutions; (Ale 'College, and
two - fenaitle Academies. i At ; that time the
entire/population of the country was seven
millions::• Assuming the'present population
of the , country to %e twenty-eight millions—
five millions mate than the census of 1850
showed—it would' follow that we had quad
rupled .our population in the last half cen
tury. Had ' the progress of the Catholic
Church barely kept pace with the progress
,of population, there sbould be sithe present
day, , on the, basis of the foregoing statement,
four dioceses, eight bishops, two hundred
and.seventy-two priests, three hundred and
twenty churches, eight Ecclesiastical Insti
tutions, four Colleges ? and eight, female
Academies ! belonging to that, denomination.
But. hew ~do-'.the figures actually 'stand?
Why, in the single areh-diecese they are
more than doubled.
“In the whole United States, instead of
four dioceses (Which a proportionate increase
would have

.writerowas in the St. , Louie, .Presbyterian of

report. ot.the proceedings of .the Assembly,

• follows : Some, discussion, the n took : place
.in.refmnotl,to the„ealie,„of, Mr, Hoagland,
an elder of the Hoi)eirille chnroh who had
been suspended from the communion of , the
Church', but whose restoration to all rights
and privileges had been orclereq by, the Pres
bytery and Synod of Chicago. The action
of the Synod was endorsed by the Assembly
—an amendment to look into the action of
'the Session, offered by Dr. Breckinridge, be
ing xejeoted."
In the Presbyterian of the West, of May
27th, the ease is called an " appeal from the
decision twice made by the Synod of Chi
cagO,-resttring• Mr. Hoagland to the privi
leges of: the Church."
The report in the Banner and Advocate
of the 29th of May, represents that, "the
decision restoring Mr. Hoagland to the priv-
ileges of the Church, denied him by the Ses
sion. of hie own, church,' had been ttof.ce made
by 'the Synod of Chicago.'" • ,
, •
In the• Presbyterian Herald of May 2 7th,
..
we..had the same statement as that quoted
above ,from the S.t. LouisPresiwterian; with
the additiona l , item, ," refradory," . in
BieCitinridge'll 'Motion—to " look into the
action, of the igfractory,Session." The ital:
jes are, the

We of that phrase—that is, by a decision
based on the merits of the case. His sus
pension was a temporary one, for the "edifi
cation " of the Church, according to Book
of Discipline, Chap. 4, sec. 18, until the case
could be adjudicated; hence, the caption in
the St. Louis paper is false. The action of
the Session was not " reversed," but died by
its own limitation. The Assembly took no
action on the "action of the Session!'
Again : the Presbytery of Chicago never
bad anything to' do with the case. It was
taken up on common fame by the Session of
Hopewell church, and - referred by them to
Schuyler Presbytery, after they had taken
the-testimony. -
Again : no Presbytery or Synod ever " or
dered" Mr. Hoagland's " restoration to all
rights and privileges!' ..The first decision
of Synod was, "that the papers and docu
ments of the Session, in the case of 0. M.
Hoagland, .not, being read in 'Presbytery,
that body was not prepared to decide on the
Merits of the reference made to them. The
committee, therefore, recommend that the
whole subject' be sent back to the , Presby
tery, with directions to issue the case tie-,
cording tothe Book of Discipline." In re
ference to the suspension, the Presbytery, on
complaint of Mr. Hoagland, had decided
that the Session had no right to'suspend him,
temporarilY, for, the " edification of the
church..
The: following is the only fiction of Synod
as to his "rights :" Mr. Hoagland is en-
titled to all the privileges of • the 'Antall and
to exercise his office as a Ruling. Elder of
Hopewell ,church." A.large majority of the
church had petitioned Mr. Hoagland to
" cease to besair acting, elder "lofithe church.
He refused .to do so. The Session referred
the matterto Presbytery- in the Spring of
1856,, (see Form of Government, Chap. 13;
6
sec. and 7, which the Session " shall"
,do so.) , The Piesbytery and Synod both
left him still to exercise , his office, though
the matter had been twice before each body ;
but had riot*" ordered" his restoration.
Again :' it is said " the action of the
Synod was endorsed." From the,nature of
the ease, this could .not be true;.because
the General. Assembly did not have the ease
before them, at all, for adjudicatibM' True,
due notice of complaint had been given to
the Synod, and the .:complainants expected
the pastor of the Hopewell church to attend
the Acsembly and prosecute the complaint.
In consequence otill health he was not able
to attend, and the other eomplainants (there
were, thirty five names to , the paper) being
larmers", and7depending on the pastor up to
4ithin a few - dais of the time for starting,
could not attend. The - following paper was
duly sent to the-.Assembly`:
Notice is hereby • given to the General
Assembly, to Meet in New Orleans on the
9th day of May next, that, the complaint of
E N. Sawyer and others will not be • prose

Sessions—the person expected to conduct
said prosecution being: prevented from at
tendini, by ill health; and this notice is
given, that.no barrier inay be placed in µ the
way of presenting the case, before the Assem
bly of 1859, according- to. the rule of our
Book , of Discipline, Chapter 7, section , 3,
sub. section 11, and the decision of, the Gen
eral Assembly, recorded. in New Digest; page
.134, " Present. Rule." Due notice,, of the
above was given , Mr. O. M. Hoagland,• tnat
he might not be at the trouble and expense
of goineto the approaching meeting of the
4eneralAssenibly at New Orleans.
Aco. 0. KING, '
April 24, '5B. - for coinprnts.
The following is the decision of the As
sembly of 1850, referred to above : "In re
garl• t:c a future prosecution of his (Fraser's)
.appeal; the appellant must present his ease,
with_ 'reasons for his previous failure, before
the General Assembly, whose province
it will then be to decide upon the whole
subleot."--1-Baird's Digest, page 135. •
- That Assembly also decided (what. the
Constitution clearly settles) that there are
but four ways " in which . the General Assem
bly can have cognizance of ‘a judicial case.
As neither of these 'ways are contemplated
in the request of Mr. Frazer, the Assembiy
cannot, without a violation of constitutional
rules, take any action in the premises.
(Our Italics.) -.These four ways are---Re
yiew, Reference, Appeal, and Complaint
...In the case of E. N. Sawyer and• 'others,
due notice of complaint had been given;
lit that does not bring the case before the
AsSembly, because the Judicial Committee
0t.1850, reported that , Mr. Fraz erhad given
dne.rietice to the Synod; and yet they say
theLeannot, without a violation of constitu
iliOnalrules,' take any
_action in the case.
Let us see what' the constitutional .rule is :
Ran appellant, after entering his appeal to
a' superior Judicatory, fail to prosecute_ it,
it shall be considered as abandoned, and the
eentence .appealed.from-shall-be,,final—„And
an appellant shall be considered as abandon
ing his appeal,,if he does not appear before,
the Judicatory apPeafed 'to, on the first or
second day of its meeting, next ensuing the
date of his notice of appeal. Except in
easesin which the appellant clan make it ap
pear that he was prevented from -seasonably
prosecuting his appeal by the providence' of
'God." (Book of Discipline, Chapter 7, sec.
3, sub. see. 11.)
Consisateney with the action of the Gen:,
eral'Aiseinlili of 1850, - quoted ibovb; as
well as with the plain rule of the Book just
quoted, required (in the `opinion of the wri
ter) that the 'Judicial Committee should sim
ply have reported the fact that they had re
eeived a notice from the complainants that
`they were Providentially prevented from pro-
SeCiiiing their complaint this year, and that
they would piesfint their reasons for failure
before the neat—Assembly, and there the
Matter.woUld rested till the next As
'sembly, of fore4er,if noteproseented.
Tho Judicial Committee, howeirer; foi some
ivaion; L dO not . allude to that notice in their
ago* ihill,ihere is nothing in their re
sort whiCh was' adopted by 'the Assembly,
that, could be 'tortured into an '" endoise
inert& 'of 'the'aotion of the Synod, and foi
the good' reinion'that, as a court,= they did
hot kit*, is fir as this complaint was con
caul* what .the action of the Synod
The' followiiig is the decision of the Ac
sembly: " The Judicial Committee report
judicial ease No. 3,, being the complaint of
N; Sawyer and others against ' 'the deci.
• ,
sion , of the Synod of Chicago ' in the ease of
Q. M. Hoagland, as being fallen from by
the failure of the complainants to appear
and prosecute their complaint. They, there
fore, recommend that the complaint be dis
•missed and that Mr. Hoagland be consid
ered.as ,entitled tUall his former rightri and
.priyileics,4 churob of Hopewell."
The last Clause of this decision is simply
extra judicial; it is the statement of a feet,
and that fact is, that, according to the de-
Alden' of Simi; (which decision is, for the
iresentEhal and beyond the power of the
Gerieral"Aainimbly itself to Change in one
jot orlitle,) Mr. 'Hoagland is entitled to his
form'er rightli: The Synod - had the case be
fore'theit'Ohe Asseinbly did not, have it
'Before them - did not, and had.no right to I
read the 'charges and testimony, ; and, there
fore,. could not say .whether the ;decision
Synod i waskrightor ,wrong,. and,.,.ccncequero,t
ly, did not, and could not, in any sense, ( 4 en
dorse " that decision.
Finally, the Presbyterian, Herold reports
that Dr. Breekinridge made a motion "to
look into the action of the refractory ses
sion.," and that the Assembly reject it,
It seems very remarkable bow Dr. Breck
bridge, away down there in New Orleans,
one thousand five hundred miles from Hope
well church, and away up there in the
highest Court of our Church, that bad
not a single act of the Hopewell Ses
sion before them, found out that this
Hopewell Session had been so refractory.
For the same reason that the Assembly could
not " endorse " the action of the lower Court,
they could not know anything about the ac
tion of the Session. Remember, the Book
of. Discipline makes the decision of the lower
Court final—the end of the Whole ease. And
the Assembly of 1850 (of which Dr. Bieck
inridge was a member) said : " There are
but four ways in 'Which the tipper Court can
have recognizance of a case that has been be
fore a, lower Court, and that they could take
no action in the Fraser case, without a vio
lation of constitutional rules." The ease
decided by the' Synod of Chicago; and in re
ference to which E. N. Sawyer and others
had given notice of complaint, sustained the
same constitutional relation to the Assembly
of 1858, that the one referred to did to the
Assembly of 1850. They learned nothing of
what the Session had done, by .".reviewing"
the Records of the Synod of Chicago, be
cause those Records do not say a, word about
the Session of Hopewell church. None of
the doings of .Session had, been, brought be
fore the Assembly on a,.." reference
.;" nor
were they there by." appeal!' The only re
maining way in, which . these acts could be
before the Assembly ,was by, com plaint ; but
the,Assembly unanimously decided that the
complaint was .6 fallen from by the failure
or the complainabts to prosecute their com
plaint," and, in such cases, the Book of Die:
cipline says the decision of the lower Court
is final. •
We said 44 finally," awhile ago, bat since
that, we have seen a long letter, written'by
a minister in the Preshyterian Church; who
tvas a member of the Assembly this Spring
This writer goes a little farther than the
newspapers: He says the decision of the
Synod was "sustained:" 'This report was
in circulation in Hopewell congregation for
some time before the writer learned the truth
in the case from the deeision itself.
This same, writer, who see Ms to be learned
in the law, says : "The case was before the
Assembly fully r —the papers and Records of
Synod fully read." Again, he says : " They
(the As,sembly) examined the case., All the
Records,and Minutes of SYned were neces
sarily before . ' the Assembly. Nov,‘ your
.complaint.is writterrotrthe.Reeords-oHynod,
and could not help but come before the As
sembly!? Now, Mr.:Clerk, of the Synod of
Chicago, we want - to know how you got hold
of that complaint, and who ordered you to
write it in the Records of the • Synod r Be-
Cause the complaint was not in existence
until several days after Synod adjonrned,
and was sent to the Moderator of the Synod,
and not to the Clerk.
Again ' thie good brother says : " You mis
take theßook t if you suppose this case could
not, be acted upon while those who made the
complaint were , not present." But the
brother mistakes the Book. " The sentence
appealed from shall be final," when the ap
pellants or complainants do " net appear be
fore the Judicatory,appealed - to on the first
or second day of its meeting, . nest ' . ensuing
the date of his (or their) appeal," says the
Book of DisciPline; and the Assembly of
1850 said that, in such a ease, "the Assem
bly cannot, without a violation 'of 'constitu
tional rules, take any action in the premi
ses:" Sonie Mysterious influence hai seemed
to operate in this case from the -"beginning;
Whether 'is mesmerism, spiritualism, or
some other ism, the writer will not undertake
to say. Any one, however, can.see from the
foregoing that the :reports in the newspapers
scarcely state a single - thing correctly.
The members of the Assembly,-jiiciging
from the quotations above,• seem to have been
so befogged as to have lost sight , ef:the
plainest rules, of our, Book, and hence, ac
cording to all these representationsipur Gen
eral Assembly have trampled under foot the
law they were sworn to obterve, and have
ignored their own acts, adopted in fermar
year's. These reports are'a slander,'not,enly
on the Session of HopewelL church—pib
,lishing them as "refractory," &c., (see
.Book of Dis., Chap. 2, see s,)—but also-on
Our highest Church' Judicatory. Their own
action, given above varbatinz, et literatint,
according to a copy attested by the Stated
Clerk; however, fully vindicates the Assem
bly by showing 'that they did , not have .the
case before them.' We are happy to'have
such evidence that they apted consistently
with the' Constitution of our Church.
In order , that the false impression may_
be
corrected as extensively as it has been made,
rt re asked, `as a Matter of justice, that. this
be inserted in the Presbyterain Herald and
copied from it into the Presbyterian Banner
and Advocate, the St. Louis Presbyterian,
add the Presbyterian of 'the West.

WE beg leave to call the atten
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public,
We refer to
Dr. Chas. Ill'Lane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them a
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE V ERMIFITGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also be en
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Anim a l s
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAIN TS ,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-ACHE, &C. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has.induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for. the last Twenty
Years; and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and PUrest material, and com
pound them in 'the most thorough
manner, Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P.S. Dealers and Physicians ordering from others
than Fleming Bros., will do well to write their orders
distinctly, and take none but Dr. lerZenes. prepared by
:Mating Brra...Pititsburgh, Pu, To those wishing to give
them a trial, we will forward per mail, post paid, to any
