Mr. Simpson, that he had engaged to do a i large amount of work for a publishing house ! iu the city. Sufficient time had been given

to accomplish it without an extra effort. But one evening, towards the close of the job, the publisher suddenly appeared in tha office. He and Mr. Simpson were alone together sometime. When the office was closed for

the evening, Mr. Simpson told us that the i work must be finished iu three days, at the i farthest, and that we must bestir ourselves i early enough iu the morninjr. It was my I duty to opeu the office and prepare it for j work. I "Tom,' said Mr. Simpson, 'I want you to 1 get up and do Robert' work to-morrow i morning. He looks pretty sick to-night,and i must not come into the office till after breakfast-' I had taken a s-vere cob", i The stranger saw and marked us both, and heard Mr. Simpson's directions. 'Robert, do you lie abed in the morning, and Tout, by all means, be up by four. Here take my alarm watch and hang it up by

Like Dr. Ame he is round and blooming with health. His features present a very interesting expression. Their is a manifest air of modesty about them; yo would take him to be incapable of any discourtesy however slight or sudden, or of any egotism or obstrusion. His head is large and Jntcllectoa?; his eyes of hazel color, and protected by spectacles; hi nose is prominent

and his mouth large and expressive of generosity. Bishop Baker was born in Marlow, N. H.f July 30, 1S12. At the request of of some of the Methodist Preacher who began about 1E27 to visit at his father's, (Or Isac Baker, he was sent to Wilbraham Academy, where he was under the care of the saintel Fisk.

Witness" are all the works he has published. He hss a volume of MS3. which we have occasionally alluded to. It is entitled "The Methodist Preacher's Hand Book.' It is by no means a mere collection of Episcopal decisions as some hare supposed, but a practical commentary on the duties of a Methodist Preacher, embracing Episcopal decisions and such civil judicial decision as relate to ecclesiastical matters. We hope it may be published before long. Bishop Baker is a thorough Greek Scholar, a rare instructor, and noted among ns for hit , familiar acquaintance with the Methodist economy. His place in our Bibical School cannot readily be filled. A a preacher he is sound, systematic and instructive. There is no impetuosity about his discourses or his counsuls, but good sense, calm moral power, and almost infallable safety. New England feels not only satsfied, but honored ia his election. He is a man who will not only secure the profound respect of the chnrch, but its universal loveSuch are a few motitia of ocr new suprintendents.
