A PATRIOTIC SERMON.

We have received from friend
pamphlet copy ofa-Sermon delivered at
Newburyport, Mass. on the Thanks
giving Day, November 28th, by the
Rev. w. w. Eells, and have perused
it with a great deal Of pleasure. Mr..
Eells is a gentleman well known in
this community, having been for some
time Pastor Of the Presbyterian Church
in Wilmington. We are glad to per-
ceiye that, notwithstanding the inau-
ences of fanaticism are SO strong all
around him, he has the moral courage
to obey the dictates Of a pure patriot
ism, and to proclaim the truth--yea to
rebuke the fell spirit Of Abolitionism
within the very precincts Of its court.
We cannot better occupy a portion Of
our paper than with an extract from
this excellent discourse-excellent both
in style and sentiment. 1t is proper
to say that the publication of the SER
mon was made, as appears from the pre-
fixed correspondence, by request of Sc
yeral citizens Of the town where is was
delivered: VII. Chron.
The great question now before this
land is union or disunion. The rawlings
of moon-struck fanatics, and the move
ments of the well meaning, but thought
less multitude, have at last brought
about this fatal issue. Shall we cling
to the blessings which God hath given
us, and as honest men abide by our glo-
rious Constitution, and the laws of the
lands Or shall we put all at hazard,
and follow the lead of those who COM
mence their career INTO the unknown
future, by deriding our present bles-
sings, and by trampling under law, and
by casting away all regard for our no.
nor? 1t is well before we go with these,
to know where they will lead US; before
we throw away the good, to know what
better they will give us. Admitting
all the evils, which some claim to exist,
and are you sure that greater eviswill
not follow the attempt to remove these!
Better suffer the disease than destroy
life in removing it. And one thing is
certain-these men know it and avow
it-these evils cannot be removed, in
their way, but by dissolution Of this
Union.
And are we ready for this? Who
dare read the horoscope of this mighty
nation, when all this inexpressible ac-
tivity, this unwearied energy, which is
now carrying us with honor and with
power over all seas, and to the most
distant lands, which is turning the
wilderness into fruitful field, shall be
turned inward to rage in fury against
itself? We should remember that the
greatest blessings are nearest to the
greatest curses. The difference is otter
only in their direction. While all arc
brethren from sea to sea, then is there
no limit to our prospective greatness
All have share in the interests of all
and no Improvement can be made il
any part that will not reach out advan
tages to all. But if the bands of this Un
on are unloosed-if sacrilegious hand
are permitted to undo and destroy thi
wonderful work of God--if the time o
his wrath comes, as it would come, il
that case, and he cease to remembe
mercy, then we may bid farewell, a Ion,
farewell, to all our greatness. Not onl,
| do We fall into eur original elements, a
States, but every man will be arrayc'

DISCOVERIES OF THE LAST HALF
CENTURY.

There has been no period since the
commencement of the world in which so
many important discoveries, tending
to the benefit Of mankind, were made
as in the last half century. Some Of the
most wonderful results Of human intel
lect have been witnessed in the last
fifty years. Some of the grandest con-
ceptions Of genius have been perfected.
II is remarkable how the mind of the
world has run into scientific investiga-
tion, and what achievements it has ef-
fected in that short period. Before the
year 1900 there was not a single steam
boat in existence, and the application
Of steam to machinery was unknown.
Fulton launched the FIRST steamboat in
1907. Now there are three thousand
steamboats, traversing the waters Of
America, and the time saved in travel
is equal to seventy per cent. The RI
yers of every country in the world |,
nearly, are traversed by steamboats,. In
1900 there was not single railroad in
the world. In the United States alone
there are now S,797 miles Of railroad,
costing 1886, 6,O00,O00 to build, and
about $4,000 miles of railroad in Eng
land and America. The locomotive
will now travel in as many hours, a
distance which in 1900 required as
many days to accomplish. In 1900 it
took weeks to convey intelligence be-
tween Philadelphia and New Orleans;
now it can be accomplished in minutes
through the electric telegraph, which
only had its beginning in 1843. Vol
taismS was discovered in March 1900.
The electro magnet in 1921. Electro
tipping was discovered only few years
ago. Hoes printing press, capable of
printing 10000 copies an hour, is a
very recent discovery, but of most
important character. Gas light was un-
known in 1900; now every city and
town of any pretence are lighted with
it, and we have the announcement of a
still greater discovery by which light,
heat, and motive power may be produc-
ed from water, with scarcely any cost.
Daguerre communicated to the world
his beautiful invention in 1859. Gun
cotton and chloroform are discoveries
but Of few years old. Astronomy has
added number Of new plants to the
solar system. Agricultural chemistry
has enlarged the domain Of knowledge
in that important branch of scientific
research, and mechanics have increased
the facilities 'for production, and the
means Of accomplishing an amount Of
labor which far transcends the ability
of united manual effort to accomplish.
The triumphs achieved in this last
branch of discovery and invention are
enough to mark the last half century
as that which most contributed to aug
ment personal comforts, enlarge the en-
ioyments, and add to the blessings of
man. What will the next half century
accomplish: We may look for still
greater discoveries; for the intellect Of
man is awake, exploring every mine of
knowledge, and searching for useful in
formation in every department Of art
and industry. Phil Ledger.
