MA11KKT1 , Nkw York JMtii:4- Buttf.h,--With the exception of a slight advance on choice State •Welsh tul>6 and Western Imitation creamery, the market remains principally the same as last reported. The supply in tlie hands of the trade Is not large,-- Western butterv Is arriving in more liberal quantities. Exporters have been taking a tew parcels at atiout former rates, but the market was with­ out much animation at the close. A portion of the trade seem to think, that it loss of a portion of the foreign trade, consequent upon the hi?her cost asked, will not have much influence, but it is possible that the two factors in the form qf the ^xport outlet and the Western production, may prove ot much greater importance than innuy may now feel inclined to admit. Ciikkse.--Since tiie advance of three shillings In Liverpool, the market has assumed a verj' firm tone, but with no material change in prices. However, there have been sales ttf vhoice as high h8.!3Jc. on special orders, with the same rate refused tar 'ni.'^fb'v stock of corresponding grade, but il does not as yet.appear to be a fully established quotation.

By a duly verified copy of a church or other public record; or 2d. By the affidavit of the clergyman or magistrate who officiated; or 3d. By the testimony of two or more VST A man should keep some ideas to himself. You often hear it said, "A man does not preach all he believes." He would be too|ish if he did. It is no reason that because a man has a medi­ cine chest in the house hit should give all the medicine in it. I do not preaeli all that 1 believe--the time is not yet ripe for It.--//. W. Beeohcr. Some of our potemporiirles, we observe, take exception to this utterance, and one ot them intimates that the declaration makes the Brooklyn preacher some­ thing of a hypocrite. We do not think so. Preachers occupy nearly the same relation to the public as the newspapers Both are educators. They occupy the outposts of civilisation. They are the ' advance guard in the , onslaughts on the ills of society. Their office is to lead their fellow men--not to eu- lighten them as to their ovrn beliefs or disbeliefs. They oombat vioe and error and wrong-doing. They are to be judged by what they do. If a man leads a blameless life; if lie labors to promote the welfare of society; if he strives to etevate the public morals; if earnest liThis efforts to aid every good work, to make men more honest and frugal, industrious aud virtuous; his personal belief is a matter of trifling consequence. A man is to be estima­ ted by the amount and quality of his work and uot by what he believes. The fellow mentioned in the Ne\y Tes­ tament who hid his pound in a napkin probably had just as good a belief as the one who made it earn ten pounds, but the latter received the benedie£fon, while the other was esteemed unprofit­ able. A man with a bad creed and a good record is preferable to one whose belief Is unexceptional, but whose ac­ tions are fiendish. No man who is la­ boring to elevate his feUow mortals tells all he thinks, lie would be a fool to do it. The world moves slowly, and tiie successful teacher, while keeping ahead, will uot allow lilmseif to get too far In advance lest he lose his pow­ er to accomplish anything.
