A Reformed Farm School for unruly youths,

Begin the week as if you were in earnest.

The trains will soon be able to pass over

Without economy none can be rich, and with
it few can bepoor.

/ The GREAT SERNoN.-Last Sabbath was
a great day of worship. The text, grandly
illuminated, was -"Let there be light"
The sun shone brightly, and the brave old
! woods looked grandly. The glorious sun
the center and soul of our system-the lamp
that lights 1.-THE fire that heats 1.-THE
magnet that guides and controls 1.-THE foun-
tain of color that gives its azure to the sky, Its
verduro to the fields, its rainbow-hues to tho
gay world of flowers, and tho purple lights of
love, rs Brewster describes it, to tho marble
cheek Of youth and beauty-was yesterday the
| great street preacher. Thousands left their
cellars, garrets and comfortable porlors to well
come the rising God of Day, who shonc equally
upon all. All were buoyed up by the ami
mating and exhilcrating influence of its vivify-
ing rays. With Byron we exclaimed:
"Thou earliest minsterof the Almighty
Chou material God!
IL,
Who chose thee for his shadow! Thou chief star.
Center of many starsl-which mak'st our earth
Endurabe and temperest the hpes
And hearts of all who walk within thy rays
| Sire of The seasons! Monarch of the climeS
And tnose who dwell in them! for near or lar,
Our inborn spirits have tint of thee,
Fen as our outward aspects, thou dost rise,
And shine and set in glory!"

decidedly down on. One of the current false.
hoods of society is, "the thing can not be DONE"
Yes it can. Anything can be done, provided
it do not involv contradiction in terms or
violation Of imLuutable law. Material difficult
ties will not yield to manual power, except by
very slow pEOcess; but bring in mind, and
embody it in art, and the difficulty vaniShes.
Mind masters matter, and art is mind in action.
SILL-Y.-T he Mr.. Sill arrested in this city
and sent to Columbus, and on bail there,
charged with fraud and adultery, is reported to
have left for other parts, leaving his surety in
the lurch.
Economy is preferable to extravaganza. We
have ever been advocates for the purchase of
suitable public grounds, but are not disposed to
favor the project of spending one-quarter of q
million of dollars in extending the Elm-street
Burying- -groand Park. We believe it would
be an extrav agant use of our money, which
could be spent more proftably in small spaces
for parks in various parts of the city, or in
placing shade-trees along the thoroughfares of
the city.

in his presence, to which he replied: IT had

than my people weep at my extravaganza"
Councilmen should bear in mind that We have
no work-house; to build and fit one, requires
money to get money, tho people have to be
taxed; big taxes are onerous, and cause tht
