NEW CHURCH-We were unaware until a
day or two ago that there was such church in
our CITY as the True Bible Christians" but
found on the corner of Orange and Irving
streets, building IN the process Of erection by
that society. The church, composed mostly Of
English people, is q small one, but needing a
larger building than the one heretofore Occu-
pied, they have removed the former one and are
now putting up q eOmmOdious and neat brick
edifice in the place of the old one. The church
is 3s feet on Irving St by Ga on Orange, is about
80 feet in hight to the caves, and 40 10 the top
of the roof 1t is substantially built of brick
with neat moulding, and will be quite Pret-
ty building. Three arched windows in the
end, and four upon each side, will give light to
the interior It Is TO have two floors, the frst
story being twenty and upper ten feet to the
ceiling. In the rear of the main room are to
be two lecture rooms Il by l6 feet. The plan
of the church was drawn by Mr.. j. NJ. Black
bum; the brick and mason work is done by
Mr.. John Newman, and the roofing and carPen
ter work by Mr.. Wm. Judd.
Rev. Mr. Hodge is the pastor Of the church,
but breaches only half the time in this city, the
Other half being divided among several neigh
boring towns.

MORNING LEADER.
WHAT WE SAID
BY NORA PERRY.

When the baby died, we said,
With q sudden. secret dread,
Death, be mercifnl, and pass
Leave the other = but alas
While We watched, he waited there
One foot on the golden stair,
Oue hand beckOuing at the gate,
TIL the home was desOlate
Friends say, 1T is better so,
Clothed in innocence 10 co.
Say, TO ease the parting pain.
That Your loss is but their gain
All, the parents think Of this
But remember more the kiss
From the little rOse-red lips,
And the print OF dnger-tips
Left upon a broken toy,
Will remind them how the boy
And his sister charmed the days
With their pretty, winsome ways
Only time can give relief
To the lonesome weary grief
Gods sweet minister VI pain
Then shall sing OF loss and gain.

doubt that hot liquids of any kind are decided
" injurious to the teeth. Ii one has abundant
time to sup tea or coffee from spoon, cooling
each spoonful before taking it into the mouth, it
may do to follow custom, but unless you can
wait for this, or until the whole liquid in the
cup can cool, we would advise to save the
teeth and health by pursuing the "Old fashion
ed" mode of pouring the tea or coffee into the
saucer to cool, setting the cup into cup-piate,
OF if none are provided, then put it on the Ia
bed AgricuLfgrIsf.

E~AmOng the things which have become
prodigious in recent times, we may mention the
School Book trade The list of school books
which We publish for Messrs. J. B. Cobb & Co,
to-day, will illustrate this remark The increas-
ed attention given to education during the few
years past, and the consequent demand for good
books, have set TO work large amount Of talent
aud industry IN their production, and the result
Is seen in the extent of this list. We are told
by ! member of this firm, what is surprising tC
us, viz that there is scarcely book on this lisi
which is not in good demand, some however
are sold to greater and some 10 less extent
We think Il hardly necessary to commend thi.
house to our readers, their name and business
are well known; We will say, however, thai
their trade has become very large, which is evi
dence to US that they know how to meet The
wants of their customers. We have observed
that liberal system Of advertising is always
beneficial, hence we predict for them pros
porous business the present season
