The little phrase "not at home," used in the conventional sense, simply means that one is not at liberty to receive her friends or acquittances It does not mean that she is out of the house, and it is not so nnderrtood by people accus tomed to society. When the maid bars the door to a caller with the informa tion that the lady is "engaged" and cannot come down, the caller, unless she is very sensible indeed, is apt to feel that she has had a rebuff "I'll not take the trouble to go to her house again very soon," she thinks, and probably says, as she walks disappointedly away.

His sermons are excellent and delivered in a manner that shows lie has fine elocutionery powers, Those who have heard Mr, Buxton in the pulpit can not speak with too much praise of his ability, which is far more than the ordinary, and is a fine elocutionist, combined with the envied tal ent of knowing how to clothe his sen timents in the most choice language He is a very forceable and eloquent pulpit orator, and was a very valuable addition to the city's clergy. During his residence in Hutchinson he has won many very warm friends, both in and out of the church, who extend to him their very best wishes for his future success and welfare in other fields of labor or wherever his lot may be cast.
