once too often. Taylor pleaded elo-
quently; said that he had sick wife
at home, and insisted that he had no
money, and if retained in the. city
policeman should be sent to take the
medicine to his wife. The appeals
we're IN vain, and the order was about
to be issued for quarters in the city
prison, when, all at once, he remem-
bered that he had money, and forth
with paid out.

EPISCOPAL C HURcH.-Serviees were
held at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church
yesterday, Rev. Van Antwerp, Rector,
who has just reached the city, oficia-
ting. His remarks were on the sub
ject of the Truth of the Gospel, upon
which he dwelt with great earnest
ness. The Reverend gentleman, at the
conclusion Of his discourse, ezhorted
the members of the congregation to
/ assist him in the work he had under
! taken, and said that all should work
\ for the Advancement of the cause of
/ Christ Every man should be fel-
/ low helper and a cO-worker in the
cause of the Master. Men should not
live to themselves alone. but to the
honor and glory of God The goods
and riches of this world were only
given ia trust, and could not, at the
most, be enjoyed but a short space Of
! time; hence it was the most
important duty of mankind to
look beyond, to prepare for an
other state of existence beyond the
grave. Mr.. Van Antwerp comes here
a stranger, but manifestly an earnest
divine, to labor faithfully in his
charge, and he will, no doubt, succeed
we'll. His discourse yesterday was
listened to with deep interest on the
part of the congregation. We would
be pleased to make a more exten ~
/ notice of his sermon, and but for the
/ press of other duties, would do so.
The REV. w. Fl. MCCARER preach
( ed, last evening, to large congrega
ton from the text, There remain
eth, therefore, a rest for the people of
I God. in Trinity D. L. Church. The
sermon was listened to with close at
tention, and was full of strong thought
and tender sentiment, appealing with
force to the better feelings of his
hearers.
