The RHopE-IsLAND BIBLE
containing questions on the New TIE,
er with "a concise view OF the ev
christian religion, with questions adai
BY Friend to Bible Class Instruction.
At time when the seeds cf skepticism d
deity are SO industriously sown among our
ing population; and at time when so many mSGhS
are in successful operation 10 bring truth home to
the understandings ofthe rising gcneration-at such
a time, we think, this little manuel may be useful
to the world. Though it may not preclude the ne
cessity of other question books, yet we presume
the pious teacher who examines its contents, will
see that it might have an important place in the
Sabbath School. With hope thm it may furnish
some useful hints on the truth ofchristianity lay
foundation for faith, and guide the enquirer into
further knowledge Of the will Of God, this little
volume is respectfully submitted to the public.

THE SEA.

The Sea, the Sea, the Summer Seal
No tempests o'er il sweep;
But, calm as childhood gentle rest,
The placid waters sleep.
The Nautilns, in mimic pride,
The balmy breezcs greet;
Lo! where it spreads its purple sail,
And steers its fairy heet
The sunset cloud, the crescent moon,
The rock, the tower, the tree,
Mirror'd in magic beauty SEEM
The Sea, the Summer Sea!
The Sea, the Sea, the Winter Sea!
When storm-clonds are abroad,
And tempests howl and pillows rise,
And NATURES selfis awed.
The thunder rolls, the lghtnings flash,
The sNies in anger frown,
While mid the elemental strife
The shattered ship goes wn.
For It's, indeed, an awful hour
OF dread soiemBity,
When Death, with shadowy foolstep treads
The sea, the Winter sea!

Ladies Fair at Bristol, r. /. July 4, 1885

FOR THE STAR,
Ladies Fair at Bristol, r. i, July 4, 1896
The ladies of the Episcopal and Congregational
Societies, in Bristol, united to get up air, for the
purpose Of furnishing the new Episcopal Church,
now in building-snd for promoting the Missionary
cause. The Masonic hall, in which the Fair was
held, was decorated with great taste and elegance
both useful and ornamental. Every thing was con-
Quoted and went off through, the whole day in the
best spirit Of good feeling and kindness. The en-
trance money, amounting to one hundred and
fousfeen dollars, was equally divided between the
two Societies; the tables in the l,-four being
set off to each Society,-were appropriated to their
respective occupants. The Episcopal tables pro-
duced an aggregate Of three hundred and fourteen
dollars, making in the whole, three hundred and
seventy -one dollars. The Congregational tables,
one hundred and ffty-three dollars; making in the
whole, two hundred and ten dollars Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the ladies ofboth So
cietes, for their zeal, industry, skill, and perse-
verance, in this Iaudable undertaking. Where all
did so well, it is difficult to select instances Of tndi-
pidual excellence but we cannot refrain from
mentioning the names of Mrs. Scott Green, and
Mrs. Starkwcather as particularly distinguished
by their untring energy, and ceaseess activity, in
preparing for and conducting to its close, this use
ful and interesting exhibition.

found themselves in the minority on a
question to take off one half Of the pre-
sent duty on malt, a measure which, ifa-
dopted, will greatly embarrass the Gov
crnment, as it will thereby cause diff
fering of about two millions from the
plan introduced by Lord Athorp in his
budget The reduction was not to stop
with the malt taX, ms the 3Oth of April
was fixed for the motion, for the total re-
peal Of toe house and window taxes; and
it is confidently anticipated that the house
will again decide against the Ministers
in respect to this most obnoxious tax
The returns Of the House and Window
Duties last year, were o.59I, ,O?JL The
repeal of these taxes, ADDED to the dim
mutton Of the malt duty, would leave the
treasury minus about five millions.
The Editor Of the London Courier, in
nlluding to this important subject, says:
"Lord Althorp said last night that the
vote of the House would place Ministers
in a position Of great embarrnssmf mt -
Truly 1t does go; but whnt will be the po-
siton Of Ministers should the motion for
the repeal of the House and window tax
es be also determined on by majority
Of the House,? Such decision would
be complete demolition Of the Budget,
and would occasion the necessity OF an
entire change in the financial arrange-
ments Of the Chancellor OF the Exchc-
qucr."
The snmc paper says, that it is conf
dently reported that Lord Althorp had
submitted to Earl Grey the propricty of
his Lord Athorp's resignation. Earl
Grey had rendered his own resi- gnation,
but the King declined accepting it.
