SUNDAY IN VEltAlLLES-8Al) scxxus. - My firttday in Versailles (France) was a Sunday, and my first act wns to seek a church. On my way I saw a Prussian personage in uniform cropping the street, to whomever one profoundly bowed and uncovered. On cioiu near this per sonage he smiled and held out his hnud ; jlieu asked why I wa in Versailles, gave me his address, and told me to call on hi in the next day and tell him about the loss of the captain. To me this meeting waa most opportune ; jtjbitme, know that I bad a friend at headquarters whose good will I could reckon on, aud now 1 knew that if I got into a difficulty I should be helped out of it. Grateful for this chance, I pursued my way aud found the church of Notre Damo filled exclusively by the French. And again 1 was struck by the downcast humiliation of that people in its saddest aspect, i The fw of the better classes that remained were there as well aa the toarroi'M and the poor. All tba ladies were in deep mourning, the mea had laid aside all care about their dress, and the children Appeared lo have lot-t ail that natural gayety which even form ality of church fails to eKiioguih in oidi nary times. Whether Aha women were weepingxfor lost relatives or a trodden, down country 1 knew-nt, but sadly they wept, and what touched me deepest was ihe sight of the o,!d men, fathers and fsraudlaihers who hud witnessed ihe glo ri'ea of France, iipw i ilieamout Court' of V eraa4Ues, bowed by hnme auij gr.k;l, btiryiag their facte in their hainlkerchiefa and trembling nuder lheir . strong emo thuis.

The influenc es of this ecclesiastical (and iu many in stances personal) strife extended beyond Ihe denomination immediately effected. The van body of Southern Methodist preachers, from mild opponents of tbe pe culiar institutions, became its-warmest de fender, and among tbem originated the discovery that slavery waa an institution divinely ordained. It-la . not improbable that in the sectional bitterness engender ed amoug tka Methodists in 1844 and the years following, the seeds were sown which could hardly have failed to find their fruit In civil war.
