The New Church ON Congress Street

i. 1t has grown almost a trite remark that the
various structures which have been erected in
place of those destroyed in the great fire of a
year ago are far superior to those whose places
they occupy. In evidence of this, the magnif-
cent stores ON Middle, Exchange, Fore and
Market streets are cited, and they bear in their
imposing beauty ample proof of its truth
Most or all of our citizens are aware that the
FIRST Baptist Society are erecting church on
Congress street, in place of the one destroyed
on Federal street, but only those whose BUSH
ness or pleasure calls them into the vicinity of
the Park can appreciate the addition to the
church architecture of our city which is being
made in the elegant and imposing stone front
which is now just revealing its fair proportions.
1t can but be a matter of just pride to every
citizen, as he sees that not only is new" Port
land, to have finer stores, straighter streets, a
larger hall and at least one spot of green grass.
but also larger and handsomer churches. The
society were peculiarly fortunate in securing
the most eligible church lot in the city, and
are entitled to double share of praise for the
fine taste displayed in the selection of a place.
Though greatly crippled by the fire, and de-
prived of more than half their available re-
sources, they have nevertheless put their hands
to the work with noble self-denial and gener-
Osity. They have received some aid from
abroad, but are still in need of funds to carry
the work to completion. The ladies of the So
ciety have assumed the task of providing means
TO fit and furnish the house when completed,
and as ladies always do, they have gone about
the work with will" Their labors will cul-
inmate on the 5th of next month III grand
fair in the new City Hail. We learn that ar
engagements are now complete for making this
splendid success. We bespeak of all our
citizens who take pride in our city, and in see
ing fine public buildings ornament our Streets
a warm heart and open hand to aid these ladies
i'll their work.
1t will be remembered that this will be the
first public use made of the new City Hall,
with the exception, perhaps, of reception to
Gen. Sheridan. Fine music has been secured,
bountiful refreshments will be provided, and
an unlimited stock of fancy articles viii be for
sale. 1t is understood that many Of our man
ufacturers and merchants have made generous
donations of articles of merchandise which
will be for sale, while a select and interesting
entertainment will be provided for each even

Somebody must lose by the counterfeit seven
thirties, and the question now is whether il

have exchanged them for five-twenties. Gov
ernment has made a demand for repayment
but the bankers refuse to a man. The Sub
Treasurer at New York has written letter in
which he takes the ground that the depart
ment can recover. He says that all business
men understand that he receives these notes
merely for transmission to Washington. He
advances the money upon them, but they are
sent here at the expense of the holders, who
are required to endorse them that they may be
returned ifnot found correct! 1t is also known
that notes and bonds of this character are fire.

"Do you mean the widows mite?"

"1 shall be satisfied with half as
much as she gave" said his friend.
Glow much are you worth?"
"$70,0OO"
"GiYe me, then, your check for
$4,000; that will be half as much as
the widow gave; for she, you know,
gave her ALL"
The rich man was cornered. Co.
vetous people often try to shelter
themselves behind the widows mite,
and under the cover of her contri-
button, give meanly to the Redeemer's
cause. Her example, indeed, rightly
interpreted, would pluck selfshness
out of the soul, and fill to overflow
ing the channels of true benevolence.
