the pleasure of Mr, Butterfieid’s ESTE
ance, we present this brief sketch: |
Mr. Butterfield was born in the county ‘of
Macomb, 1840, and there lived'on a farm
until 1862. During this time he laid the
_ foundation for those traits of character’
Which are most frequently found: in men
whose youth has been spent in industrious,
thrifty, country homes, viz: honesty and
perseverance. From 1561 to 1864, he spent
in’ California, In 1865 Mr. Butterfield
bought a farm in the county of Lapeer,

Which he still owns. In the management of |
his farm. he turned his attention mostly to
thie ; breeding: of Shert .

The Student, Science and Christianity.

F, M. LEWIS, ECLECTIC SOCIETY.

A recent speaker said: “When the young

“man leaves home and enters college, he has

left a place where the things taught him in
school, and at home, have usually been: in
corroboration of Christian evidences.”

If these are not his words their import is
the same. On entering college he is subject
to many perils. “He throws off the yoke of.
paternal sovereignty, and the influences of

home associations, and launches forth mto
the: discovery of -truth by his own investi-_

gations, but: more. or less led by. the. pre-

judices ‘and persuasions of those -guiding
him in his pursuit of knowledge.

But, :as:
this speaker says, he must be permitted to

‘investigate and weigh questions which arise
in science and must reconcile them. to the

teachings received at the altar or the church.
OA young man coming toa liberal. institu-
tiov like our Alma Mater, begins at once to
see that many explanations of divine dispen-

gation must be interpreted -according to the

phraseology of his several sci¢rice professors,

When some of our people visit us, as they
chance to do occasionally, and look upon
the exterior, such as” grounds, buildings,

the least idea that this was sucha place. It
is beyond anything of which 1 had even
dreamed.” Oh, could they but see and hear
and understand the workings of the interior,
the instructions of the class rooms, could
they but realize the growth of mind and the
“unseen forces at work upon these grounds
