The Almighty Creator himself, we might

All the forms Of nature are beautiful. The
shane of the heavens is beautiful the mid

is no reason why we should not use bcauti-

Nothing but the beauty Of order, the beau

The beauty of reason. 1t is contrary to
Gods design, and contrary to our nature,
that we should make use of those things
that God seems to delight in.

LIE SCoURGE.-The yellow fever at New
Orleans, Galveston, and also at the Dry
Iortugas, Is assuming very malignant
type. The mortality at several points in
louisiana and Texas is becoming almost as
fearful as it was twelve years since at the
cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va
New York and other Northern cities then
not only contributed large sums lf money
for the relief of these plague stricken cities,
but sent them sanitary supplies and physi-
clans and nurses. Many physicians from
New York and Philadelphia lost their lives
in their heroic efforts to stay the terrible
restilence, and when the danger was past,
meetings were held in many of the Eastern
cities, and funds raised for the support of
the poor widows and orphans of these two
cities, who were thus left to the world S
charities There is no reason why the be-
nevolence and charity of the North can not
be appealed to as successfully now as then,
unless it be the defiant attitude so reck-
lcssly and foolishly assumed by portion of
the South.

proclamation was circulated also on Sunday,

taking part in it, and declared his resolve
to arrest and vigorously punish any of his
people who disobeyed him, as we'll as 9th,

The Boston Journal says that at the annual
meeting of the Cocheco manufacturing
company at Dover, New Hampshire, held
last Friday, the report presented showed
the business of the company to have been
very prosperous the past year. During the
year 100000 was divided semi annually,
and $4,000 ofthe capital stock returned to
the stockholders. About twelve million
yards of cotton cloth have been manufac-
turcd and over thirteen million yards of

through the introduction of improved ma

both the mills and the printcry have been
run to their full capacity all the time.
