A DIFFICULT CIIUUCII. —The faculty of one of our largest theological seminaries received sometime since a letter, in which the inhabitants of a small town in Kansas applied to them for a young cler gyman to take charge of their spiritual education. The long and formidable ar ray of qualifications which the minister must possess, and the extremely meager salary attached to the position, threw the good doctors of the faculty into something akin to despair. After much thought, one suggested that the reply run thus: '-The only man of whom we know who could satisfy yon is our rever ed college president, now dead some few years, and who, having accustomed himself to heavenly food (air), eoufd per haps eke out a bare subsistance upon the salary which you propose." This after due deliberation was rejected and the next proposal listened to : "We know ol no one, except the Apostle Paul, who ap proaches to your standard of piety; he might preach of a Sunday, and get his living by sail-making on week-days." This was at length also rejected, and the following reply dually hit upon and dis patched: "We know of no man upon earth good enough for you, or who could possibly live on the salary you mention. We therefore advise you to make an effort to secure the angel Gabriel, who could board in heaven, and comedown Suhdays to preach."— EDlTOß'S DRAWER, in Har per's Magazine for July.
