Musluiab CHBiSTIANITr.—One hears a good, deal about " muscular Christianity," but it is not often (says Truth) that one sees a really worthy exhibition of it —eepeoially among parsons. - The Rev. Q. H. Fawkins, Ticar of Holy Trinity, Stroud, has, however, just given a praoticil and striking exemplification of it. While the rev. gentleman was out walking with his wife, ho s*w two men amusing themselves by setting a dog on to a poor old woman. Fe remonstrated with the ruffians, who retaliated by attacking him in a most savage manner. He defended himself with his stick and his fists, and with such effeot that he knpoked one of his assailants down two or three times, though, while he was holding him down, the other man savagely kioked him. The Stroud magistrate thought a fine of 10i and 8s 6d costs was guffloient punishment for the brutal savages.
