court of Durham , the corruption of which was notorious . And this is the hold aud truthful manner in which ho addressed the bishoo .- — "' My discourse now , reverend father , urns be directed to you . God hath exalted you to be the bishop of this diocese , and requii-eth an account of your government thereof . A reformation of all those matters which are amiss in this church , ij expected at your hands . And now , lest , perhaps , while it is

apparent that so many enormities are committed everywhere , your Lordship should make answer , that yon had no notice of them given you , and that these things never came to your knowledge , behold I bring these things to your knowledge this day . Say not then that these crimes have been committed by the fault of others , without your knowledge ; for whatever either yourself shall do in person , or sutler through your connivance to be done bothersis wholly your own . Thereforein the

y , , presence of God , his angels , and men , I pronounce you to be the author of all these evils : yea , and in that strict day of general account I will bear witness to testify against you , that all these things have coma to your knowledge by my means -. and all these men shall hear witness thereof , who have heard me speak unto you this day . " " ' Now he has done for himself letel ' . ' aliko thought

comp y friend and foe . His enemies were rejoiced beyond measure , for they looked upon him now as a ruined man . His friendsbut Archdeacon Hone * shall tell the rest-. — " Mr . Gilpin ' s friends were greatly alarmed by this boldness of speech , and after the sermon , they gathered round him , and declared their apprehensions with tears in their e \ es . ' Yon

have put a sword , ' they said , ' into the bishop ' s hands to slay you . If heretofore he has been offended with you without a cause , what may you not expect from him now , when yon have so imprudently provoked him to crush you ! ' Gilpin calmly replied , ' Be not afraid ; the Lord God overruleth us all . So that the truth may be propagated , aud God glorified , God ' s will be done concerning me !'—They proceeded to the place where the bishop and clergy were to dine together , and during the

repast some remark upon the sermon was expected from the prelate . Nothing , however , was said , aud after a while Mr . Gilpin went up to the bishop to take his leave in the customary manner . ' Sir , ' said the bishop , ' it is my intention to accompany you home . ' They accordingly walked together , aud having arrived at their destination , and gone into a private room , the bishop turned round to Mr . Gilpin , seized him eagerly by the hand , and said , ' Father Gilpin , I acknowledge you are

fitter to be the'Bishop of Durham , than I am to be parson of this church of yours . I ask for forgiveness for past injuries . Forgive me , Father . I know you have hatched up some chickens that now seek to pick out your eyes ; but while I live Bishop of Durham , be assured no man shall injure you . ' " " One of the ' chickens' alluded to by Bishop Barnes , is supposed to be Hugh Broughton , a native of Oldbury , in Shropshirewhom Bernard Gilin had educateduntil he had become

, p , one of the greatest Hebrew scholars of the age , and who , now that lie had risen to the rank of a prebendary of Durham , was one of the bitterest enemies of his former benefactor . ' Pitythat men who have risen from the dunghill can so seldom be found without some of the dirt always adhering to them . "

FAITH , HOPE , AND CHARITY . BY GEOBGE MAXLOSY . Father of all , Almighty King , While now Thy praise our lips employ , May each glad heart its tribute bring , Aud vibrate with a grateful joy . May steady FAITH our sorrows heal , Fixing our HOPE and joy ia Thee ;' And teach , O teach us , Lord , to feel , The holy joy of CHAEITY .

O Thou , who , standing by the grave , Wept , at the sight of Woman's tears , Interpose Thy power to save , Wherever human woe appears ; Wipe from the Widow ' s cheek the tear , Soothe with Thy love the Oilman ' s sigh ; By FAITH in Thee let HOPE appear

, And point them to a rest on high . Forty years Thy children mourned , As through the wilderness they trod , But oft to view Thy banner turned , And saw Thy power in Moses' rod : Yet , Lord , Thy promises arc true , In this our day , as days of yore ;

We through FAITH , the blessings view , And tread with joy tho chosen shore . ' For forty years still pressing on , Thy hand its saving guidance gave , And led by Thee , our Band lias gone , From sea to sea , to bless and save ; From Noith to South throughout our land

, From East to West , in unity , This day our great Fraternal Band , With grateful hearts , are praising Thee . Great God , to Earth's remotest bound The tln-obbings of Thy love are known ; Wherever sore distress is found . Still be Thy love and mercy shown .

God bless with peace our Native Land , To e . ieh sail heart he comfort given ; God bless our Fraternal Band , And bring 113 all at last to Heaven . Oh ! may each Brother of our Band Move on in strict Fidelity , Joined in loveas pledged we stand

, , To FAITIT , and HOPE , and CHABITY . Then let our praises rend the sky , Praise to our God , who reigns above , Till FAITH and HOPE shall end on high , And CHAEITY be lost in love .

The Lover's Watch.

THE LOVER'S WATCH .

BY EJIKA HOEJIE . As yonder sun is slowly sinking Down beneath the western sea , So my heart is sadly thinking Of thee , my love , of thee . As that bright star from out the glory Of the golden sunset beams , So do I loveoh ! ever

, my , Think of thee in dreams . When , as now , the day is dying , And thick clouds the day o ' crensfc , 'Mid the darkness and the sighing Of the night winds ; hope is past . But my lode-star , shining eyer . Sombre clouds do quench in vain :

For she piei-ceth through them saying , " Tho king of day shall come again . " And the dun clouds now are weeping Sad , sad tears for you and me , As my dark watch I am keeping , Watching prayerfully . Thou art low in sickness lying ;

Softly singing through the rain , I hear words of comfort crying , " She shall wake to love again . " Stilled the winds , the earth is silent Looking on the tranquil scene ; My monitor doth keep repeating , ' "It shall be as it hath been . "

"Keep thy faith ; be true , he sledfast . " Sigh the winds through hoary trees , Bending softly as they listen To the whisp ' ring of the breeze .
