5. Never interfere with the private or family
arrangements of your minister He has the same
rights and responsibilities in reference to his family
that oilier men have. And the people that
would pry into his domestic arrangements or
attempt to thwart him in any endeavours to ren-
der his situat
ion in this respect more eligible,
pleasant, or economical, show two errand defects
at least : 1st, A want of good breeding ; and 2dly,
A narrowness of spirit, which will! apt to render
uncomfor table all who have intercourse with them.
6. Be punctual with your minister, and pay him
his salary without asking. If any class - of men
earn the scanty pittance which is generally given
them it is the minister of the gospel, and the sala
ry should be punctually paid. Some contrive to
turn otTupon the minister, the lame, the halt, and
the Wind. This d isnournges and paralyses his
efforts, and dishonours God. Wtsleyan Journal.
FRATERNAL UNION BETWEEN PASTOR & PEOPLE
Pastor and people, in the most favored and pro
tracted union, yet need much to cherish most
careiully a spirit of fraternal union and a sense of .
their character as brethren. It is as such that
ourtxt describes the relation of the teacher an d
his flock. Placed under his authority they may '
be, but he is to put them in remembrance as
'brethren.' A fraternal and gentle spirit may give j
to the man of slender attainments, and even of lit
tie prtideiice and forecast, an influence over the
church both intellectually and practically, that a
more powerful intellect with Hess kindness will
never acquire. Storming the citadel of the heart,
he s ways thence ahe whole garrison ol the tnind.
A truly gentle and spiritual miuisier of Christ, of
loving temper, will wrestle th rough difficulties,
and that without the sacrifice of either his con
science or his authority, where a more able, but
less devout and imek map, would fail to discover
ahy practicable outlet. A path, that the vulture's
eye hath notj seen, with its keen, proud glance,
may be discerned by the eye of the dove. And
the remembrance of the fraternal character of the
church, and the fraternal relations of its head," the
great Elder brother," will render tolerable much of
discomfort and anxiety, which the most beloved
and prosperous pastor cannot escape." The church
may do much, all unconsciously, -to weary, and
wound him. He may see, as did an apostle the
growth of parties in a church that should have
but one name, as it has but one interest. He may
see meanness hiding itself under holy forms j and
artifice winding its slimy coils around the noblest
enterprises; the spirit of the sons of Zflbedee re
appearing in good men; or Judas sitting again in
presumptuous obduracj' at the board of his betray
ed Lord. Tempted to high thoughts of himself
and bitter thoughts of. others, Ire may be inclined,
under such trials, to quit ail ; like Elijah wonder
that he alone is left to be jealous tor his God ; and
like Jonah fret that a guilty , people have been
spared, udiilst, perchance, the. poor gourd which
sheltered him, the more faithful servant,-has been
smitten. In such hours of growing weariness
and waning love, let tho vexed pastor remember
the brother and Redeemer in his demeanor at the
Last Supper.-"-The strength that others would
have husbanded, for it was soon ad to be needed
in the garden of Gelhsemane, and the halls of the
High Priest and the Governor, how lavishly was
it spent by that Saviour, in washing, as a menial,
the feet of the frail and timorous disciples,: who,
as he too well knew, were so soon to sleep beside :

New Jerusalem. After such visits to his Redeem
er on the cross, and his Redeemer on the throne,
he will come back to his work, a meeker and a
wiser man, contented, and more patient, subdued
and cheeifuL expecting troubles from a race, thai,

for the mere boon of existence, and for the re

with nil its sorrows, is yet a world of probation,

' Many years -since,; a small volume was publish

ter -y John Foster." It " was never .opu

thoughtful person can peruse." Every sentence is
crowned with tho!ghts, evidently brought up I rum
depth which 'ordiuary minds do not fathoinC fvo
thing is common. place ; and on the other hatid,
nothing is farfetched. Alany writers fail to inter
est, from having written tamely upon trisub
jects; while others, in their solicit ude to 'escape
from such an imputation, have sought to be origin
al at the expense of all regard for "the aldeand
justness of their thoughts. "Foster' rises far above
either imputation. His thoughts are no less pro
found and brijrina than just pnd important ; and
the reader who shall have - made the contents of
of the essays in queson - his own, will have ac
quired that which he can fiiid nowhere else, and
which he will acknowledge to be emiueotly valua

We have been excited to these refleclianfj by
reading in the Boston Atlas a sketch of John Fos

writes from London for ttiit paper. . We sub
join in a condensed form all the materal infor

Mr.' Foster. :

the days ol tills an tournamen's, the lady was
)vont to exact from her enamoured knight some
daring proof of bis devotion, but surely none ever
obtained a nobler trophy of' love than "did Mrs.
Foster. -, For seven long years feeble health pre
vented Mr. Foster from preaching, but bis ped
was not idle. The Ee'ectic Review hud been
started in IS05, and to this he became a constat t
contributor. Ufe whole number of hi nruclesin
this periodical U about 2S0 among them are ar
ticles on Blair, Beattie, Paley, Grattsn, Fulltr,
Whitcfield, Ch! mers, Cardinal -Wolsey, Jeremy
Taylor, Hume, Sidney Smith,nnd Fox. A selection
of them has been republished in this country by
the Appleton, of New York. During the years
18225, Mr. Foster delivered a series of lectures
in Brondrrjcud Chapel, Bristol. They were unu
sually elaborate the leading ideas, with occasion-
jal hints for amplification, having been co omitted
to paper. A lady who attended the course, des
cribed them to the MSketcher" as "magnifiicent "
j Another friend spoko of ilr. Foster exiempora
neous prayers as Mr. Fo3ters essays that we
; stand up to." When Robert Hall consented to
j succeed Dr. Ryland in the pastoral charge of
; Broadmead Chapel, Mr. Foster steadily refused to
deliver a single lecture more; and ho neVer
could be persuaded upon" to enter the pulpit
alter it had been occupied by that great preach.

been his custom to have some one read to him, a 5
custom he much eujojed j and for many years he
had been in the habit of spending several hours a.
day in his family, listening while one of them
read aloud. i On this occasion, he declined his
usual practice, and requested i to ,be left quite alone
