And the following pre amble and resolutions were adopted s Whereas it has been Creditably reported to this meeting, from a meeting of our fol low citizens and christians of the town of Clinmplain, that a large number of copies of the Holy Scriptures, given by theCham plain Bible Society to the Roman Carbolic people of that vicinity, were publicly burn ed by the Roman Catholic Priests in the streets'of aald town. read whereas, also. alielf 5 an opffiion drawn up in this sense, committee from the said Champlain Bible uonimiuTOiruni uic hrtyhednhcid IMeatand-rrorf i:,nl.. mnimail flF ihom (1 fH.

In a cold night of November, In the year 1833, a man enveloped in a large cloak, rapped at the door of one of the most dis tinguished advocates in Paris. Ho was quickly shown into the chamber of the learn ed lawyer. Sh' he said, placing upon the table a arge parcel ot papers, " I am ncn, dui the suit that has been instituted against me to-day will entirely ruin mo. At my age, a fortune is not to be re-built : so that the loss of my suit will condemn rile forever to the most frightful misery. I come to ask the aid of your talents. Here are the pa pers ; as to the facts, I will, if you please, esfposcr Worn i clearly o yoii,' '" The advocate listened attentively to the stranger. lhenopans;d the parcel, examin ed alt tho papers it ' contained, njid said " Sir, the action laid against you is founded to lustice and morality ; unfortunately, nlie aiumirnbTe perfeclioe of our codes, law doe not always accord with lustice, and here the law is for yoA If, therefore, you rest strictly upon the law, and avail your self, without exception, ofall the means in your fa vor ifrabove Ihrthesemoa ns ore exposed with clearness and lorce, you will ,iolalliblygain this suit, and nobody can afterwards dispute that fortuue you tear to loSO. : ' ""' : ' " Nobody in tho world," .replieoVtrle-cli ent, " ia so competent to do this as your and signed by you would render ono invui iiAautt i n in rii nt .lit ft n ti wf I (J r"' UlCTi I Oil r Wlu I?tiwt4"' -tltat you will not rcfuso it me." 1 he skillful advocate rellccled-a'TTnq mo- mcnts, taking up again the pa no i; Jim he had pushed away with an abruptness pe culiar to him, said that he would draw up the , opinion, and that it should be finished the following day, at the same hour. Tho client was punctual to his appoint ment. The advocate presented him with, the opinion, and without taking the trouble to -reply to the thanks with which the other overwhelmed him, auid to hun rudely. " Hera is the opinion ; there is no judge who, after haying seen Uifttr..waU,.cundemn you. Give me 3,000 francs." Theclient wustruck dumb and motion, less with surprise. You areTreewljeep your money JaTdT the advocate, " as I am to throw the opin ion into the fire." So speaking, he advanced towards the chimney; but the' other stopped him, and declared that he would pay the aum de manded; but that he had only half of it with him. He drew, in fact, from his pocket book 1 ,500 franca in bank notes. The advocate with one hand took the notes, and with the etber threw the opinion into an ioJrawea. But," said the client, " I am going if yoa please, to give you my note for the bar ance. " I want money. Bring me 1 ,500 mere franca or you shall not have on line," " There was no remedy,, and .the 3,000 irancs were paid. But the client, to re venge WmselJJbrbeing so pillaged, hasten ed to circulate this aoecdote ; it tTrrtotha papers, and for a fortnight there was a del uge of witticism of all kinds upon the dieio. te rested ncss of the great advocate. Those who did not laugh at it, said it was deplo. rhblo that a man of such merit should be tainted with a vice so degrading aa avarice. Oven his friends were- moved by it, and some of them went so far as to remonstrate wttk him publicly j but tho only reply be gave was by shrugging his "ahouldors, and then, as every thing is quickly forgotten at Paris, people soon ceased to talk. One day the Court at Cassation, in its red robes, was descending the steps of the Palace' of Jus tice, to be present at a public ceremony. All at once, a female dorta from the crowd throws herself at the feet of the Procureur General, seizes the end of hi robe, and presses it to her lips. Tho woman is look ed upon as deranged, and they try to drag her away. " Oh, leave mo alone, leave mo alone," she cries, " I recognise him his he my preserver! Thanks to him, I was able to bring up my large family. Thanks to him, my oldage is happy. Oh, you do not know 1 19ur!5n8 aay 1 wai yej-y janhappyjhen I was advised to bring ah action aanlnsl a distant relation of my lato husband, who, it was said , had possessed himself of a rich heritage that ought to have como to my children, Already I had sold half my goods to commence the action, whea one evening I saw enter my house a gentleman, who said to me, ' Do not go to law ; rea. son and morality are for you, but the law is against you. Keep the little you have, and add to it theso 3,000 francs, which are truly yours. " . I remained. speechless with -surprise; when I would have spoken and thanked him, he had disappeared; but the bag cf money was thero, upon tho table, and the countenauce of that generous man was engraven Upon my heart, never to be erased.

Gather instruction from thy youth up, ao shall thou find wisdom till thine old age. A wise son heareth his father's instruc tion , but a scorner heareth not rebuke. The eye that mocketh at his father, and dospiscth to obey hia mother, the ravens of the valley shall pluck out, and the young eagle shall eat it.--J - A wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of hia mother.

Knowledge is the treasure of the mind ; discretion the key to it ; and it illustrates all other learning, as the lapidary doth unpo. lisliod diamonds. . The whole universe is your library ; con versation, living studies ; and remarks up on them are your best tutors. An illiterate person is the world in dark ness, and like to Polyphemus' statue with the eye out.
