passed them off for real enactments. It was not wonderful, perhaps, that people so ignorant about us as the English, were should have been hoaxed into the belief that there had really been laws in Conntc-

fcicut malting it penal for a man to kiss ibis wife on Sundays, and all that nonsense; /'but to find some of your living writers T, still falling into so preposterous an error jf is very melancholy. "What would you think of an American writing about England and quoting Jack and the Bean Stalk as an authentic historical work!" Speaking, one day, of his early years, the Doctor said, —"'We used to observe the Sabbath >-om suuset to sunset; and it was far better. Saturday was pre paration day. Wow people run the world's business and pleasure up^ to midnight on Saturday, and thenon Sun day they are sleepy and can't go to church. The old way was better and

more scriptural. " From sunset to sunset shall your Sabbath be." 1 remember in my childhood the bell used to r<og before sundown, warning neople to stop woik. In some parts of "V ermont and Connec ticut where the railway hasn't gone, and where the people are simple and virtuous, tho Sabbath is from sunset to sunset still." He had seen something about the Sabbath and Decalogue controversy in this country, and asked parLici^ars. " Depend upon it," said he, when I had given them, " 'f we give up Dbine au thority for it, the Sabbath will go by the board" The Germans here gave it up, and they hunt and fish on the Sabbath, and are the lowest of our population in spirituality. Jf recognition of Li/me authority went in among them it would elevate them year by year." "It amazes me," he added. " that your people don't look across to the ConL'-ient and see what they made of the Sabbath there. I scarcely saw a shop shut in Paris that was open during the week." "As for the Decalogue," he said " 'Thou shalt nob' has a mighty power

over the people. No mistake about it. Give Dr. Macleod my compliments, and tell him it is all very we)1, to speak of Christian principle, but we cannot do without the law."

I spent two Sundays at Pittsfiold, and on both occasions heard the Doctor preach twice in his own church sermons fresh and vigorotts as those that have made him so popular in print. His congrega tion is large and prosperous—the largesl, 1 believe, in Pittsfield —and the Suaday school, to which the Doctor has always paid special attention, seemed to be attended by nearly a third of the whole congregation—even the elderly people fornr.ng themselves into classes for the study and discussion of the Sciptures. Todd has been a minister now for forty-two or forty-three years. He was first settled at ISorfchampton, where Dr Lvmnn Ueecher (the father of Henry Ward Beecher and Mrs. Stowe) preached his ordination sermon. I was interested in visiting Northampton to see b's old brick church. It was in that his sermons to children were first preached. He told me that, on reckoning up, he found he had preached since his ordination 6000 sermons, and added 2000 souls to the churches under his charge. The children in his Sabbath school? had collected /'or religious and benevolent purposes more than 100,000 dollars (£20,000), besides current expenses and monoy for a new church and lecture room. Ho was proud oi'mentioning also that these schools had given twenty ministers lo tho Christian Church. This after all represents but a small part of Todd's influence compared with the good he has done through his published writings. He has writtea thirty books, large and smal!, and some of these have been translated into different languages. The " Students' Manual" alone has gone through 138 editions. Todd's public life—so long aod so eminently useful—is now near its close. Ho said he meant to retire when he reached the age of 70; and he was now within three years of the goal. His conviction was that no minister should remain in active service after ho had reached seventy. A minister deserved rest by that time; and holding on longer, till his powers began to fail, was apt to destroy his influence, end undo the work it had take him perhaps all his life to accomplish. He had a hope that after he retired he might be able to revisit this country. If he does there will be many Christian hearts to \yelcome him. I was interested to see in liis shelves many books sent bin from Scotland. His daughter showed me a copy which she preserves of his " Lectures to Children," embossed for the use of blind, and printed at the Glasgow Blind Asylum in 1841. On the fly-leaf of a Matthew Henry, which had belonged to a departed sister, Todd had written the following inscription, interesting iv its connection with the same work:—t

"In the year 1838,1 wrote and publish ed Lectures to Children; second series. Thomas Nelson <fe Son, of Edinburgh, published the little book in Scotland, and as a token of their approbation sent me a present in money. With that money, as a kind of memento of the gift, and of my estimation of Matthew Henry's Commentary, and'of my love for my chil dren, I have devoted it to the purchase of a set of Henry for each of my daughters, and I hereby express my earnest desire that they will read a portion of it every day. (Signed) J. Todd." It will interest many to know that a the opening last summer of that new wonder of the world, the Pacific Eailway, which runs across the whole .Worth American continent, connecting the Atlan tic with the Pacific, Dr. Todd was present and offered up the opening prayer, which, from the Kocky Mountains where he stood, was telegraphed all over the United States as the words were being uttered. The raiis had been run towards the centre of the continent from both sides, and met on the Hocky Mountains, where " the mountain wedding" was consummated, the last blow upon the golden spike setting the bells of the whole continent ringing in jubilee. Dr. Todd, for his share in the marriage ceremony, was presented by the president of the road with a ring "made from ther golden nail. He continued his westward journey in a drawing-room railway car to the far-off shores of the Pacific, where an enthusiastic reception awaited him, his name being apparently as well known and as ,mu,qh| honoured in that land of the hereafter as. it is amongst ourselves. j •

THE DESCENT OF MAN.

(DAEWIN IiOQITITITB.) "Man comes from a Mammal that ''ved Tip a tree, Anil a great coat of hair on his outside had he, Very much like the Dreadnoughts we frequently see - Which nobody can deny. " lie had points to Ilia ears, and a tail to his rump, To assist Mm with ease through the branches to jump — In some cases quite long, and in some a mere stump — Which nobody can deny. ■■ " This mammal, abstaining from mischievous pranks, W.is thought-worthy in time to be raised from the ranks, And with some'small ado came to stand on two shanks— Which nobody can deny. " Tim? planted, his course he so prudently steered, That his hand aoon improved, and his intellect cleared; Then1 forehead enlarged, and his tail disappeared. Which nobody can deny. "'Tisn' easy to settle when Man became Man, When the Monkey type stooped and the human began ; But some very, queer things were involved in the plan— Which nobody can deny. "Women plainly had beards and big whiskers f-st ; While the men supplied ir'.lk when the baby was nursed ; And somo other strong facts I could tell—if I durst— Which nobody can deny. "Our arboreal sire had a pedigree too ; The Marsupial system comes here into view ; So"we'll trace him, 1 think, to a Great Kangaror - Which nobody can deny. "This Kangaroo's parent perhaps v/as a bird; But an Ornithorhynohus would not be absurd ; Then to frogs and strange fishes we back are referred-- Which nobody can deny." Thus far Darwin has said: But the root of the Tree- Its nature, its name, and what caused it to bo, Seems a secret to him, just as much as to me — Which nobody can deny. Did it always exist as a great institution ? And what made it start on its first evolution ? And to this our good friend offers no contribution— AVhich nobody can deny. Yet I think that if Darv. In would make a clean breast Some botanical views would be frankly confessed, And that all Flesh is Grass would stand boldly ex pressed— Which nobody can deny, The Loves of the Plants so deliciously sung, Must have softened his heart when his bosom was young, And the Temple of Nature has prompted his tongue— Which nobody can deny. But now if in future good breeding we priie, To be cherubs and angels we some day may rise ; And, indeed, some sweet angels are now in my eyes— Which nobody can deny. If this is our wish, we must act with due caro ; And in choosing our spouse no pains we should spare, But 3elect only those that are wise, good, and fair— Which nobody can deny. Yet however he came by it, man has a soul, That will not so submit to despotic control, As to make monks and nuns of three-fourths of the whole— Which nobody can deny. The bad may be pretty, the good may bs plain ; And sad matches are made from the lucre of gain ; So perhaps as we are we shall likely remain - WHch nobody can deny. After all, then, I ask, what's the object in view And what practical good for his creed can ensue ? I can't find in it much that's both useful and new — AVhich nobody can deny. Our old friend Lucretius explained long ago How the fittest survive ami the weak are laid low, And ov" friends of the Farm must a thing or two know — A\ iiich nobody can deny. I would ne'er take offence at what's honestly meant, Or that truth should be told of our lowly descent To be sprung from that dust I am humbly content — • A\ .lich nobody can deny. But this groping and guessing may all bo mistaken, And in sensitive minds may much trouble awaken. So I'll shut up my book, and go back to my Bacon — Which nobody can deny. — Ble?kv:ood's Magazine.

BISHOP CROKE AT THE THAMES.

We hn.vc been requested to publish the fol lowing : —The* anniversary of the Right Rev. Bishop Croke's consecration to the Roman Catholic diocese of Auckland was celebrated at tho Thames on Sunday by special services, at which his Lordship presided. The church was thronged morning and evening. In tho morning Messrs. JNorlon, Bricn, Mcllhone, Twohill, Coolahan, Riordan, O'Meara, Lun don, aud P. Griffin, presented the following address :—" Shortland, Thames Goldfields, July 9, 1871. May it please jour Lordship, —We, tho Catholic inhabitants of the Thames, feel that we are indeed highly favoured in having an opportunity of congratulating your Lordship on this the first anniversary of your consecration, and of thus displaying to you our gratification at having you amongst us on this auspicious day. Tho Bhort time -which has elapsed since you Lordship's arrival in your dioceso has most amply borno out the high character which had preceded you, and we hope to look forward to the timo when, by our increased love and reverence, necessarily consequent on your continued rule, we may, in a great dogreo, reconcile you to your severance from a country and peoplo near and doar to us all. Gifted with the ruro faculty of winning all hearts, your Lordship has already brought many, not united with us in the bonds of faith, to emulate us in our esteora and respect for your varied talents and urbanity. Wo earnestly pray that your Lordship may enjoy in health many anniversaries of this day, each one bringing further assurance of the increased spiritual well-being of your flock and of the social peace and prosperity of the people among whom you aro placed ; aud when in the fullness of years it may please the Almighty to remove you hence, may you largely share, in common with other apostolic men, all the honors and rewards of a long, a useful, and a well-spent life. With sincere filial love, and most profound respect, wo ask you Lordship's paternal blessing, and hare the happine?s to be, your Lordship's faithful servants, for the Catholic inhabitants of the Thames.—The Bight Rev. Dr. Croke, Bishop of Auckland." His Lordship read the follow ing reply : —

"My dear Friends, —I thank you sincerely for your kind address, and for the thoughtful friendship that suggested it. This is, indeed, the anniversary of tke most important event in my life, for on to-day twelvemonth I was raised to thp Episcopacy. Since then 1 have passed seven months in the midst of my people ; and it is no small comfort to me to learn, as on all sides I do, that, in so far, I have neither dis pleased nor disappointed one of them. , If, in addition to satisfying the members of my own fold, I havo been fortunate enough withal to conciliate those whoso views on religious mat ters ar not in accordance with my own, I confess I should esteem myself extremely happy ; nor shall I ever purposely do anything either by word or deed that may diminish, much less destroy, that social harmony and good will which should at all times subsist between tho different branches ol the great Christian Commonwealth.

" Here I feel quite at homo. Amongst the foremost and heartiest to give me welcome, both as Bishop and Irishman, the Catholics at the Thames have on all occasions gathered in great- numbers round me to encourage mo by their presence, and to hear from me that message from above which our holy mother the Church has charged me to convey. For your great kindness and abiding good wishes lam intensely grateful; and, should diffi culties at any timo beset my path in the discharge of my duties as bishop, or rights be withheld from you or me which the safety or progress of our faith in I best) islands may call for or require, I shall confidently look to the Catholic peoplo of my diocese at large for reliable support, but to none trith more firm assurance of receiving it than to the staunch

and sturdy inhabitants of this district. I thank you again for your address, and remain, my dear friends, your devoted friend and bishop, "t T. W. Ceoke, "Bishop of Auckland. " July 9, 1871."
