The Boston Transcript criticiscs a
lecture Of Rev, II. w, Bcecher, at the
fremont Temple. We quote:
"The speaker said that "rum and
newspapers were the cheapest articles
in this country. We would add, that
cantcrs and demagogues are among It's
most common productions.
But bad as were the political ethics Of
the speaker the manner in which his
religious views were presented was FAR
more Objectionable. His specious al
tacks upon the philosophy Of liberal
Christianity, as it is popularity termed,
were njust and ungcnerous, equally at
variance with reason and the facts OF
history In an Orthodox pulpit no sur
prise would be felt at their promulgaIion;
but before an audience largely composed
ol persons who do not accept his theo-
logical doctrines, aud in Il city where 80
many monuments exist of the prevalence
and power of a religion which Claiming
commended by his life and his words,
common courtesy would have dictated
silence, where the speaker could not
exercise charity"

The Poets Gift.
ny WILLIAM cRAssTGE.

The Poets gift is all divine,
An inspiration from above,
Which ellis his heart, his soul, and mind,
With holy impulses Of love.
When skies are bright and friends are true,
And life is all joyous ken,
lie eannot soar on iancy's wng',
pure-urousht airy visions pen.
His thoughts are all engrossed on tnrth,
Iii. feelings chilled by base desire,
Which binds him down to menial things,
And qucnchcs all poetic fire.
When he would rise to nobler realms,
And grasp the thoughts which angels feel,
Some trAing pleasures hold him back,
And all his chastc emotions steal.
Oh, fearful is the doom ofhlm
Who wastes the treasure God has given,
For It's the language srokenby
The bright seraphc host Of Heaven.
And he who fails to rightly use
so rare Il gift ofholy love,
Incurs the tcn-iold wrath Of God,
And wins no Angel smile above.
When grief the Poets soul has touched.
Or in his heart some wound is made,
lie bursts the bonds which folly binds
Around his beings trampled grade.
Thus freed from grovelling letters here.
His mind is waited far from earth,
And drinks from that perennial spring
Where virtue had primeval birth.
lie scars on wings Of extacy,
To realms where sin has never gone,
But where the light Of Truth prevails,
And its bright beams have ever shone.
Vouchsaic the Poets gift, o God,
And keep his mind from earth all FREE
For thus he knows what Eden was,
And what Thy Paradise will be-.

explains the matter He says:
'.On examining the holes in the brick wall, which have
been exposed by the removal of the burnt tmbers found
opening of about two inches by the thickness brick
into of the fues, where the fire was discovered
The chmneys from the lower then examined
and it found that the ue from the of the Com

found the opening into the Library alluded His voice
heard at the aperture in the chimney and he brought
down with him portion of the burnt timber that had pro-
truded into the fiue.
Large wood fires made in the committee rooms
very early every morning, and the shut up until
they occupied by the committees This chimney must
have taken fire while the thus closed and burnt
out without being Observed might easily be the case
with any of the chimneys in the building.
After careful examination of the subject / am Of
opinion that the fate of the Library depended this
chimney. If it had taken fire years ago the result would
have been the The tmbers far above the
fireplace to be set fire in any other way than by the
burning of the chimney and such could not have
occurred at any time without communicating fire the

The alcoyes of the Library were formed Of timbers
filed in with brick-noggng" The horizontal pieces

the structure thus aordng the of communicating
the fire to the vertical cantng Of which was placed
against the wall in each partition.
The evidences of the fire having occurred in this way
