 The entire loss is put down at $172 900, on which there were insurances to the amount of $103 000. The fire commenced at II o'clock and was not sub dded until after daylight, and as the Union says until every building the south side of Main street from Stone street to St. Paul street. had been des- trcyed together with all the stores the East side oi South St. Paul street to Bncklands block includ- ing number of buildings on Minerva alley.

SENTENCE A DAY.-A London paper publishes the following interesting anecdote which we wish our young friends would read and think about What is said about sixpence spent daily for one thing that is useless hurtful (strong drink for example may be said of the same sum spent for any other hurtfu or pernicious thing, (tobacco for example,
 There is now old man in an alms-house in Bristol who states that for sixty years he spent six pence day in drink, but was never intoxicated.
 A gentleman who heard the statement, was some what curious to ascertain how much this sixpence day, but by every year, at five per cent. compound interest. would amount to in sixty years
 Taking ont his pencil he began to calculate Put ting down the first years savings, {three hundred and sixtyfve sxpences nine pounds sterlng eleven shillings and sixpence he added the interest, and thus went on from year to year, until he found that in the sixtieth year the sixpence day reached the startling sum of three thousand two hundred and twenty-five pounds sterling, nineteen shllings and slxpence. More hhan Jsftetm thousand dollars.
 Judge the old mans surprise when told that had he saved sixpence day, and allowed it to accu- mulate at compound interest, he might now have been worth the above noble sum- so that. instead of taking refuge in an al1nshouse, he n ight have comforted himself with house of his own. costing three thousand five hundred dollars and fifty acres of land worth two hundred and fifty dollars an acre. and have left the legacy among his children and grand used it for tie welfare of his fel low w-rden.-[The Home.

If the devil comes to my door with his horns visi- ble, will never let him ill but if he comes with his hat on, respectable gentleman, he is at once admitted. The metaphor may be very quaint, but it Is quite true. Many man has taken in- an evil thing, because it has l,ccn vanished and glossed over and notapparently an evil and he has thought in his heart, there is not much harm in it so he has let in the little thing and it as been like the breaking forth of water the first drop has brought after it a torrent. The beginning of a fearn end
 [spurgeon.
 Condemn no man for thinking as you think Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking tor himself. Let every man u,e his own judgment since every man must give account of himself to God. Abhor every approach, in any kind or degree to the spirit of persecution If you cannot reason or persuade man into the truth, never attempt to force him intoit If love will not compel him, leave him to God, the Judge of all.-IJohn Wesley.
 EXCUSES What is meant by an excuses Is it a reason given for disobedence, or delinquency in some duty. It implies, always, an obligation, an nntulflment and some reason which the person snpposes will justify palliate this delinquency or disnbelience. There is virtue, therefore, in an excuse unless it has power to release man from a foregoing obligation to paliate the n-fultill- ment of such an obligation. [Beecher.
 READING.-Is one of the greatest consolations of life it is the nurse of virtue; the uphoer in ad- versity the prop of independence the support of just pride the strengthener of elevated opinions it is the shield against the ty,annyof all the petit passions it is the repeller of the fools scoff and the knave's poison.
 You cannot get to heaven by your works. You wheel, as to go to heaven by works for you get up a step you will always come down as low as be- fore. If you cannot be perfect, God will not save you by works. .-[Spurgeon.
