Mr. Q. graduated at the University, fin 1858) which has turned out souie of the best jouEnalists in the country, and has ever since been on the Free Press, and has proved that he knows how to make a live papur.

The citizens of Toledo are interesting themselve8 in the question of a narrow gauge railroad from Toledo to Omaha, and have petitioned Congress for aid. Cannot the citizens of that enterprising city be prevailed pon to assist the people north of her in cooipleting the Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Railroad, which is nearly ready for the rails from Toledo to Ann Arbor ? We believe we can demónstrate to her citizens that a narrow gauge line north of her, passing through the couuties of Monroe, Waahtenaw, Livingston, and Shiwassee, and so north into and through the vast pine district of the península, will not only add greatly to her material interest, but will pay well on the investment. There is now about ninty miles of the line graded and ready for the rail, with ties enough on the ground to complete the track. In a future article we intend to cali the attention of the oitizeus of Toledo and the counties along its line to its importance and great commercial value. What say, people of Toledo, can you be interested in the enterprise 'i M I - I ►►■' Considerable discussion is going on as to the increased ueed in the supply of the Christian Miniatry, and it seenij to be aoknowledged alike here and in Euroue that the number of desirable young men in training for the pulpit shows a decided and deplorable falling off. The very outspoken and vigorous editor of the Church Journal of New York, has a very startling article on the present condition and prospects of the Protestant Episcopal Cchurch. He says that this church at present offers no career to learned and intellectual men, but seeks only men of tact for managing parishes and paying ofl debtu. He says : " Meantime a church with the traditions of our own - it is well to think of it- has not a college or university of the first class in the land, soarce a dozen names known in literature, and only awaits the oalliug home of a few gray-haired men to be withuul a first calss acholar among its priests or bishops in either secular or sacrec learuing. Ita pulpits, marked for their influence on the thought of the land may be counted on one's fingers," The editor contrasta this intellectual poverty with the thriving education and litera ture of such denominations as the Bap tists and Methodists, who began with comparative ignorance, and he thinks i is high time to stop talking and writing about candles and pictures, and to be meeting the cali of the thoughtful men and women of his ohurch for more mine and culture in the pulpit. Rey. Mr. Beecher, at the Plymouth Church prayer meeting last week, coun seled his congregiition against offering him surperfluous sympatby in this lang uage : " I ani probably the happiest man ii the whole coimection. [Great applause.' 1 bad rather you wouldn't do that; had rather you wouldn't, for although speak very fully to you, I speak out o: uiy owu experiance and very deeply and the applause rather jars. 1 hav rolled off my burden, I am íu the hous of God, and I am just curtain iu safet; in tbe hands of God. I do not give i auy lower applioation, but I am bidden iu His pavillion, I am surrouuded by Híb peace, aud I have got back, throug! gtoruiB and trouble, the simplicity and joy which belonged to me many yeai ago. My thought and soul's feeliu lies over "the oloud ; it is the reault no so much of awy visible aud externa thing as that I aui sure I ain surrounde'. by the mind ot' my God. I live in Him and He lives iu me, aud He gives m the promised peace. So, then, I duu' need you, and then you are in grea temptation of a kind of loviug and sym pathizing idolatry for your pastor, and of standing around your pastor until by und by tbere won't be any Jesus Curist aniong you, but there will be your pastor alone, and that is just the worst tbing for you and the worst thing for rue."
