ricuhsas.—On Tuesday last, about 1 o'clock, a fire
broke out in Evershot which spread with such fearful
rapidity that seventeen houses were destroyed, with
the greater portion of the furniture belonging to the
cottagers, and one young woman (the flower of the
village) was ohliged to descend from the tapper 'lvor
window to escape being inVolved in the ruin. Happily,
howbver, no life was lost or a single injury personally
eatained. As soon as the fire was dist:ovens I, the
river close by was dammed back, and couriers were
despatched in all directions for fire engines. The two
engines belonging to the Earl of Ilchester were speedily
on the spot, and the new engine rendered good service.
The Yeovil volunteer fire brigade arrived in about an
hour after the fire broke out, a remarkable specimen of
dexterity, seeing that the messenger bad to ride 8 miles
on hotafback, the 'relents:ler firemen had to be soils oted
from their several aVocAtiene in all parts of the town,
change clothes, and ride R miles on the engine.
Following this in pretty quick succession was the West
of England engine from Yeovil, and last of all, which
had to travel the farthest distance, was the Dorchester
engine. It was soon discovered that although there
was an abundant supply of eater, and so abundance of
hands, that on account of the dryness of the thatch,
and the inflammable materials of which the hotelea *ere
censtructed, that all efforts to prevent the destruction
of the houses once on fire were useless. Accordingly
the communication was out off on both rides of the
street by dertiolishing the houses: Had net this been
done, the wholb vidige itiust have been burnt down.

sparks flying on them igniting the thatch. The families
rendered hotcmless by this destruction of property, were
kindly provided for by the steward of the Earl of
Ilchester, to whom the whole of the property belongs.

and then, chiefly of all to the elertit I they ddn't feel

oeerlook the fact that the mercies we receive are given
to us day by day. Now true religion was an everyday
religion, to be carried with us wherever we go, making our
toil more sweet, our recreations more cheerful, and our
every-day life more blessed and joyous. Look at the
*induct of our blessed Lord when upon earth, how ee
mixed with the common p. ople in their common affair'
of every day life. See hint at the marriage feast at
Cans in Gal I, e, making more happy an already happy

nature was designee to make nisei happy as witness the
fruita, and floweret, and herbs of the earth, the sun
shining in his nispeety, the moon with her silver rays
and the myriad of orbs that apangle the atherial firma-

It was the seed-time of life when were itophititid those

end of the world, when God will send forth his

for "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
He that soweth to the flesh shall of the fleah reap
corruption, but he that soweth to the spirit, shall of
the spirit life everlasting." Again, the harveat might
be considered as a type of the blessed sabbath. Many
stayed from church because they felt tired, or made
some other excuse, when it was their privilege, as it
'was also their dive/ to be laying up the golden grain of
divine truth for the coming week. In conclusion, he
ethorted them to pray to God to keep them from evil,
to bii more aareful in data' ddmrildn conduct of life, to
be more earnest in their attendance at the meatie of
grace, and thus, carreing out the profession made in
baptism, and the teachings of the grand old catechism,
be the better fitted for the joys of life and the solemn
hour of death, knowing that by-and-bye there would be

We regret to learn that one of the clergymen, who in-

areabged thet 01c1 guglieh sports, were to form

to cost' mpt and scorn. We feel convinced that bad

Gentlemen; this is one of the noble t spectacle a free

principles of loyality. And let me tell yod this Is one
of the hotteet achievements in the history of freedom,
when men have dtiained the point you have, for then
they show they are nafbable of freedon and capable of
appreciating it in others, be-liuile they have within
themselves that principle of selfoontrol witneut which
there can be no respect for the rights of other., rind
there can be no true and permanent freedom in any ,

will say the same, that if they choose to come in a
friendly way, by hundreds or by thousand; wall show
