ilishness of this vice was illustrated in the
following manner.
The devil once called together all his
chief servants and held a meeting after
the fashion of the Methodist brethren, be-
ing himself kind of Bishop or presi-
ding elder. He appointed each one a
station or circuit where he should labor
but there was one place where nearly all
were tattlers, and no one was willing to
90 ther,, no devil wished such society.
At last one iendish imp-the meanest OF
all the devils accepted the situation. At
the close of the year he expressed a de-
sire to be sent again to the same place as
he had nothing to do, the tattlers were
bells best servants and did all the dirty
work.
For ourself we have no patience with
tatt.ers-no words to express our content
for them. The malediction we would be-
stow on them is that they might suffer a
''severe letting alone" The evils OF tat
tling will never be abated until there shall
be more individuality Of character, until
persons shall cherish the greatest disre-
gard of the opinions of others concerning
themselves that is compatible with theii
own self respect.

dedicated last sabbath. The dedicatory
sermon was preached by w. R. STEVENS;

verses inclusive. The speaker said that
unlike the Jews, as people, we had no
previous magnificent temple with whose
splendor to compare the lesser glory of
the latter one, but as individuals we all
had memories of place of former wor-
ship, probably more costly. grand and
impressive than the one where now we
worship. He dwelt at length upon that
sentiment ofloye and reverence with which
we turn to the old familiar church, where
the holy and venerable Man of God has
taught and prayed-where the singers in
Israel have hymned the melodies of III
on, and the grand organ has joined in the
lofty harmon.es,-where the sweet babe
has been borne to the baptismal font
where strong men madej pen.tent have
bowed at the Mercy Seat and Youth in
its freshness and beauty has dedicated it
self to God-where the baptism of sor-
row has been received by whole con-
gregation as the mourners have wcpt

of the grave has been placed before the
altar. or the sweet maiden lain there

IA light on dearest brows,
Which is the daylight only"

The three eras in public worship, the
meeting in the pioneers cabin, in a pub
lie room used for secular purposes, and
in the church dedicated to the service of
God, were each dwelt upon. In conclu-
sion it was shown that Christ is the true
glory of the Church and her honor con-
sists in honoring Him.
The musical exercises conducted by Mr..
G. w. Pratt, were worthy of the repu-
tation of himself and his Choir. A large
and attentive congregation was present
and we doubt not that every one, whether
professedly religious or not, felt a just
pride that we have now house dedi-
Gated to the worship of God.

Over the river on the hill,
Lieth a village white and still,
All around it the forest trees
SILVER and whisper in the breeze;
Over it sailing shadows go,
of soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses low and sweet,
Grow in the middle OF the street.
Over the river under the hill
Another village lieth still:
There I see in the cloudy night,
Twinkling stars of household light.
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door,
Mists that curl on the river shore
And in the road no grasses grow
For the wheels that hasten to and fro,
