; s . : , We'll speak of bumps : fifi' -And were great Doctors Gall and Spurzheim there, . - > They’d surely find sufficiency of lumps To theorise upon—come clear your hair, fife And put those visionaries in the dumps. • THE Clitm—X POEM. fi' l. • Precisely at the hour appointed, Mr. [ Duncanson waited on Ur. Crimp and / was received very graciously. The * Doctor was no prepared to enter on : ;j business. He immediately commenced fi: ; to examine the student on his qualifi cations to act as Greek and Latin tutor to Master Theophilus Loftus Jerning ham Crimp. The result appeared to fi be satisfactory,, for the Doctor was even more complaisant and complimentary than before. He enlarged on the /: merits 1 and glory of scholarship, and . slid, by the easiest transition imagin able, into a sounding eulogium on the Church of Fngland as the generous nursing mother of learning and piety. In her sheltering bosom, he said, no young man of decided talent was allowed to languish for lack of en couragement. All her deserving sons were enriched from her opulence, and removed at once from the harassments of poverty and excessive duty. Her highest offices were open alike to aspirants of all ranks. High merit was the only essential to promotion through out all her degrees of dignity. And the effect of such encouragement was >- just what might be expected. She numbered among, her clergy the bright - est names in learning which this country or the world had produced. The learn ing of all other Churches was ignorance compared to the profound erudition of her divines. Then the decency, the magnificence of her rites and ceremonies had an elevating influence on the mind and gratified - the reverential feelings proper to . man.. Even her gradations of office had this effect, for who that felt impressed . with respect for the humble curate ; could fail to venerate a Bishop or Archbishop ? / Plied with these appeals to his am bition, Mr. Duncanson felt awkwardly . situated, and knew not what to say. - At length, when the Doctor made a pause, with the evident purpose of see ing what effect his eloquence had pro duced, James remarked with as much civility as he could muster—“ I have no doubt the clergy of the Church of (England have many advantages, and I don’t wonder that those who have been born and bred within her pale should be greatly attached .to her forms and services, which are certainly very impos ' mg.” : ‘ “ No, not imposing, Mr. Duncanson; by your leave impressive is the word not imposing.” “ I bow to your correction, Doctor. You have expressed roy meaning better than I did myself.” “ Oh, yes, the services of our Church T are, indeed very impressive, and my wonder is that they only affect those who are Episcopalians by birth and education. I should have expected them to touch the feelings of all rational creatures of whatever creed or training. v Just think how Through the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault The pealing anthem swells the note of praise. Then how beautiful is the liturgy ! the finest composition extant. And all this, associated' with a Church mo delled on the primitive plan, a clergy in unbroken succession from the apostles, and doctrines sanctioned by the authority of the most venerable fathers and holiest martyrs. lam astonished that dissent should exist in any form.” • Mr. Duncanson now began to recollect the suspicions of his worthy, home-spun 1 friend, Stiffriggs, and to think they might, after all, riot be with out foundations. His own suspicions were arous'ed by the tone of propagan dism which pervaded the Doctor’s , observations. He felt it incumbent on him to vindicate his Presbyterian prin ciples as far as they seemed to be obliquely reflected on in the Doctor’s panegyric on Episcopacy. “Without intending any personal offence, Doctor, ‘ I must say,”. remarked the student, “ that, however highly Episcopalians may value their own Church, the Pres byterian system appears to me, and those who have been instructed as I have been, to be much more consist . ant with Scripture and reason.” A dark cloud gathered on the Doc tor’s brow while this was spoken, and instead of making a direct reply he turned to a table behind him, and lift ing an elegantly bound volume, placed it in the student’s .hand, saying—“ It you will be •so good as to take this home with you and read it carefully, I am sure you will see Episcopacy and Presbyterianism too, in a new light. I very much desire you to peruse it with attention, for it contains the marrow of the points in dispute between our Churches.” “ I am greatly obliged by your kindness, Doctor,” said Mr. Duncan son, “but I have read this book long ago.” . . • “ And are unconvinced, by its argu ments—still'a Presbyterian.” V “Yes, sir; still a Presbyterian, and likely to remain so.” (To be continued — commenced on July 26.)
