UNIVNELSAL PILATZR yOk SUNDAT SCHOOLS.—At a
meeting of representatives of the Committees of the
Sunday School Union, and other Sunday School
&dean, it was decided to set apart Sunday, October
22nd. and Monday, October 23n1, as the days of
United Prayer on behalf of Sunday Schools. In com-
pliance with the above request, issued by the Sunday
School Union of London, the teachers and friends of
the Sunday Schools in Dorchester assembled at the
Primitive Methodist Chapel, Durogate-street, at the
close of the evening service on Sunday. There was a
very large attendance of both Church and Chapel
teachers, the sacred edifice being well filled. The
Rev. VV. Allen conducted the service, and much
earnestness characterised the prayers which were
offered by members .4 each denomination. A
similar meeting was held on Monday evening.
YOUNG MIN'S CHRINTIAN AMOCIATION. —On Sun-
day afternoon an address had been announced to be
delivered at this Association, in Durngate-street, by
Mr. J. M. Welland, of the London City Dilations,
but from an unavoidable circumstance that gentleman
was prevented attending. The Rev. J. Harrington
(Baptist minister) was asked to till his plane, and
very kindly consented. There was not a very large
attendance, the special meetings on behalf of the
Sunday Schools no doubt preventing many being
present. The president of the Association presided,
and the meeting was opened in the usual way. Mr.
Harrington took as the grourul-work of his address
the latter part of the 39th verse of the 10th of
Hebrews. He explained the meaning of the word
faith, showed the object of their faith—Jesus Christ—
and the result of believing in Him—the saving of
their souls. It was a profitable address, and the rev.
gentleman was thanked at the close for his great kind-
ness in coming forward at so short a notice to deliver
it, and thus save what would have been a great
disappointment to many.

NURSEUAIDS.

"A Father' writes to the Tiller! LB f011..1/11: —On
Tuesday evening, a little after five o'clock, about mid-
way between the harra,ks in the centre of Hyde Park
and the IT:Is-lige Road, I came upon a double peram-
bulator, in which was reclining-1w if in an armchair
—a ilissipateidlooking youth of about 17. A nurse, a
well and dilly-dressed, good-looking girl of alsoit the
same age, was lying full length in Ids arms. A few
yards distant, lying on ths grass on its face, I observed
the proper occupant ,if the perambulator, a child
about 20 months, presumably in a sound sleep, but
actually bearing a closer resemblance to a rabbit which,
after being knocked on the head, had been carelessly
tossed down.. The evening was fast closing in ; a
thick mist was raising over the Park; the grass was
long anal damp. Under the child there was not a
shawl - nothing. It had evidently b •en lying there
for a long time. It waster too hate for it to have been
out, even under met favourable circumstances, yet the
nurse WWI not showing signs of moving. Much less
than Out Co which I wai a witness has heats the death
of many a chill; many as child has been csippled or
made delicate for life by hos cold and dant', than that
to which this poor little 011 e war exposed. I think I
need not add more. The hare facts of the caw speak
eloquently for themselves tsi all—to all but to those
wretched waniela who, giving themselveg up to their
own selfish gaities and pleasures, think not of their
'ageing. w.onen to whom the holy IMMO of " mother"
can be used only as a term of lay, contempt, and dis-
gust.

OPENING OF A NEW ORGAN.

On Thursday two special services in connection with
the formal opening of the new organ, were held at Holy
Trinity Church. There were numerous congregations
the occasion, and the serviees, full choral' were
effectively rendered, Mr. W. S. byte, organist of All
Saints' Church, Margate.street, Loudon, presiding at
the new instrument. The parish organist, Mr. T. M.
Morgan, may well be congratulated on the purchase
effected, which involved an expense of about £.500, to
meet with a special fund was provided. The celebrated
constructors of the Alexander Palace organ were en-
trusted with the building of the new instrument. The
instrument, which occupies a suitable chamber at the
north of the chancel, contains 86.1 pipes.
The two services of the day was hxed for 3.30 and •
7.30. . .

•
The prayers at the aftenioon service were intoned by
the Rev. M. liankey, rector of Maiden Newton. The
First Lesson—l. Chron, x v., 25 to iind of chapter (the
account of the ark being brought up with great joy to
Zion)—was read by the Rector of Holy 'Trinity, the
Rev. H. Everett The Second Lesson—Rev. v., 7to
end of chapter (the reference to the New Song)
—was read by the Rev. W. F. Tregarthen.
Throughout the musical part f the service the choir
very efficiently acquitted themselves, the full comple-
ment of the members being present.
The preacher was the Rev. W. F. Tregarthen, and
his text was Psalm lxvi. 1, 2—" Make a joyful noise
unto G.l, all ye lands: sing forth the honour of His
Name : make his praise glorious."
The offertory amounted to 07 2s. 9,1.
After the service Mr. Hoyte gave an organ recital,
being accompanied at the instnnuent by Mr. Morgan.
In the evening the church wan crowded to overflow-
ing. The prayers were intoned by the Rev. Vincent
F. Rensome, curate of Holy Trinity Church,
Weymouth; the First Lesson was read by the Rev. H.
P. Itaikee, 'haplain of the Dorset Count') Prison; the
Second Lesson misread by the Rector.
The Rev. C. T. Paocrea selected as his text I.
(Iron. Ail - "And David and all larval prayed
before God with all their might, and with singing, and
with harps, and with pealteries, and with thubrels, and
with cymbals, and with trumpeca."
The offertory was £3O 55., thus the aggregate
of the collections at the two services was .C 47 7s. 9,1, ;
which will be devoted to the liquidation of the organ.
The new instrument is good throughout, thoroughly
even in tone, and its powent exactly suited to the
capacity of the building where it stands. The
ornamental stops are peculiarly bright and sweet.
The congregation of Holy Trinity are to be congrat-
ulated on the acquirement of so beautiful an accessory
to their public worship.

ABERDEENSHIRE BREACH OF PROMISE

CASK

At the Aberdeen Sh,riff Court, on Monday, before
Sheriff Coterie Thomson, Jane Simpson, a domestic
servant, about 23 years of age. awl residing at Tillyhilt,
Tweed', sued William L gan, sod about 21, and a farm
servant at Everton. Keithfield, fur f.:104, am damages
and solatium for breach of promise of maritagcaLlC
summons set forth that from September, 1574, iap
July, 187 G, the defendant courted pursuer with • view
to marriage; and that in March, April, May, and
June last he promised and engaged to marry her,
which promise he now refused to fulfil. The defence
was a denial f the libel, with an explanation that the
defender and pursue: were simply on terms of friend-
ship. The pursuer, her sister, and the defender were
examined, and from the evidence it appeared that the
defender had given the pursuer £lO to purchase furni-
ture. Several letters which paned between the parties
were also read, and alter hearing the agent., the
sheriff decided in favour of the pursuer, and fixed the
damages at £lO, which defender would have to pay
only if be took back the furniture bought by the
vintner, or the £lO given to her for the punnse of pro-
ehling furniture. The defender's letters to his lover
numbered 17 or ln, and were of • rather amusing
ammeter. One fl the letters closed with these lines:

To you my Youro affections wove
devoutly, warmly, trim,
fry life bee been e teak of love
Onei lung long thought of you,

if all your tender faith is o'er
if still toy trough you'll try
Also I katow taut outs proof moru

Dorchester, Dorset, England, 1876-10-24

Th-e-Ch-alrmau said this should have due weight with
the Court. _ _

Sentence. deferred.

preferred by James Trevisa he was sentenced to one
month, for the charge by Charles Toms one month, for
that by Charles Felton one month, and for that by Mr.
Hurdle three months, making iu all six months' hard
