PREACHING AT THE DEPoT.-This SER
vice is still we'll sustained, and promises
much good. There was yesterday a
large gathering and an attentive audi
ence. The rooms of the depot were
kindly opened by Col. Woodruff, Su-
perintendent, whose presence added
much to our usually good singing and
good order. The Rev. Charles Jones
of Western New York, gave an appro-
pirate, impressive and excellent dis
course, from Rev 8, 20" Behold, 1
stand at the door and knock, if any
man hear my voice and open the door.
will come in to him, and will sup with
him, and he with me-"
1t was a kind and affectionate invita-
ton to come to Christ and live. And
the good people of the Third Church
had the pleasure and profit of hearing
another discourse of like evangelical
excellence, from Mr.. in the even
ing.
The services at the depot will hereaf-
ter commence at three and o half P. NJ.

a PISOCLAM A
GOVERNOR OF NEW JET

The events of the past year afford abundant
cause for most heartfelt Thanksgiving to Al
mighty God.
Our country seems to be entering upon a
new life of peace and prosperity. Commerce,
manufacturers and the pursuits of agriculture
are melted to renewed yigor and activity.
Personal liberty and public security seem to
be insured to us for all time. The enduring
triumph of the principles of free government
over rebellion and anarchy in this land is re-
generating the nations OF the earth and the
liberal principles of equality and recognition
OF man as man are working good through
out the world, which none can limit.
Let us then thank God for these and all
other mercies. Let us especially thank Him
for His blessings upon this our beloved State
That while increasing in every material
wealth we have been during the pastyear ex-
empted from all natural commissions, pesti-
Ience and famine-That our citizens in the
enjoyment OF the fullest liberty are moral,
virtuous and law-abiding people That the
poor and INDECENT have been cared for, the
disabled soldiers of the State supported and
their orphans protected, and that the oppor
tunities of education and advancement are
open to all.
For these reasons, and in accordance with
established custom, I, MARCUS L. WARD,
Governor of the State of New Jersey, do here
10y set apart and appoint
Thursday, the 26th day of Novem-
Der, instant,
as day of Thanksgiving, Prayer and Praise,
and do recommend that upon that day the
people of this State assemble in their various
places of worship and prayer, and while hum
bly, acknowledging the mercies of our all gra-
cious Father in the past, do invoke him to be
with us in the future.
Given under my hand and privy seal, at the
city of Trenton, on the fifth day OF
November, Ammo Domini, eight
fl, 81 cen hundred and sixty-eight, and
of the ninety third of the indie
pendencc of the United States.

CoURAGE.-Every child is born with
a capacity for fear, which is a useful
quality when kept in due subsection,
but which may, by iudicious training,
by evil habits, by wilful encourage
ment, or by some sudden shock and
injury to the nerves be exaggerated in
to habitual cowardice. The nervous
system may likewise be brought into
such condition by the Incorporate
Use of stimulants as subject the mind
10 fear upon trivial occasions, for pot
salor will degenerate into cowardice il
sept up too long. 1t is true too that
raining has much to do with man s
character for bravery. If boy is
cowed and kicked into state of abject
fear during his childhood he will be-
come such habitual coward that it
will be very difficult to break the habit,
while on the contrary boy naturally
timid may be taught to defend his
rights bravely whenever attacked.
The possibility of learning timid
person to be brave, and man drawer,
is one of the important advantages we
have over the brutes. If you force a
boy into situation he breads you in
crease his timidity if you persuade
him into Drawing it, you increase his
courage. Fear of making difficult
leaps. standing on dizzy heights may
be overcome by practice. If you go to
vault a leaping, and shrink from
throwing your legs boldly over, giving
way to the first little fear, your fear
will grow stronger on the next occasion
and in learning to swim the same will
be found true. Where reason teaches
you there is no danger, or that the
dangers that present themselves may
be overcome, listen to reason and cast
off fear.

At the last session of the Legislature
bill was passed, granting certain par
ties the privilege of constructing a
canal from this city to the sound. We
have not heard that the work has been
commenced, but we feel the necessity
of the Improvement intended. A canal
with ten feet of water, and of sufficient
width to allow the passage of two YES
sells, from this city to Staten Island
Sound, would be Of iucalculable ben
eft to our business men. The creek is
neither deep nor wide, vessels are very
often obliged to unload portion of
their cargo, either at the Port, (before
entering the creek or at Hetfi eld's
Dock, q mile below the city, rendering
necessary the employment of teams to
assist in doing what should properly be
unnecessary labor.
The old meadow, opposite the lum-
Der yard of Messrs. Faitoute and Huff,
should be removed, thereby forming a
basin large enough to accommodate
shipping. The great results which
would soon spring from the building of
canal, as above can hardly be conciev-
ed. There is nothing to prevent Eliza
beth from being the second city in the
State. Our water privileges are great,
and their advantages should be made
available. With such additional facili-
ties as the proposed canal would afford,
our manufactures would be increased
and wealth would be poured into the
laps of those possessed Of enterprise.

Opposition THE LIFE OF
TRADE"

From the busy hum of conversation
the new array of tradesmen, and th.
exemplifcation of sharp business
among the many store keepers, we are
led to view the times in q new ight
and coincide with the oft repeated ex
preston, that opposition is the life o.
trade. From clear indications great
reaction is being experienced among
one class, the butchers, stimulating
them to an activity that never was wit
messed in this place before. Meeting
with considerable competition they
have nerved themselves to new bust
ness and are now in the height OF
glory over good season notwithstand-
ing the number of competitors in the
field. This sharp movement has
brought meat down to a fair price,
and one can now dine of lamb chops
and kidney stews without paying enor-
mously therefor. The late opening of
new meat establishments is convincing
evidence that business is lively.
The boot and Shoe dealers, who o
short time ago experienced such COM
petition, have relaxed their energies,
there being nothing exciting enough
to call forth general rush of business;
but let new candidate for patronage
spring into the field, and unanimous
desire to out-general each other is i'm
mediately evinced every energy, weak
and strong, is strained in vieing with
each other, and by every display
known to human. ingenuity strive to
coax the patronage of n generous pub,
lie. There is nothing like it. Bust
ness is business, and although many
reverses are apt to be met, still sun
shine of success will break them, and
the man who pays close attention to
business and the wants of his patrons
will prove the "white headed boy" of
good luck in the end.
Grocery men, although sales are
quick and profits small also have a
share of the general run recently open
ed, and the activity displayed, the re-
suit of close competition.

OF the Manchester Mar
tYrs.

CHICAGO, Nov. 81.
A delegation from the Committee on
the celebration of the anniversary of
the Fenian executions in Manchester
waited upon Bishop Duggan, last night,
to request that a requium mass be cele-
brated for the repose of the souls of the
martyrs Allen, O'Brien, and Larkin.
The Bishop declined, because he de-
sired to hold the church aloof from
politics and because he had always dis
countenanced Fenianism. Wherefore
the Committee adopted resolutions dep
recatiDg Bishop Duggan's action, and
asserting that their rights as Catholic
Irishmen had been outraged thereby.

The VALUE OF S0RAP-BooK.-Eyery one
who takes newspaper which he in the least
degree appreciates will often regret to see any
one number thrown aside for waste paper which
contains some interesting and important arti-
cles. A good way 10 preserve these is by the
use Of scrap-book. One who has never been
accustomed thus to preserve short articles, can
hardly estimate the pleasure it affords to sit
down and turn over the pleasant, familiar
pages. Here choice piece Of poetry meets
the eye, which you remember you were so glad
to SOC in the paper, but which you would long
since have lost had it not been for your scrap
book. There is witty anecdote-it does you
good to laugh over it yet, though for the twen-
tieth time. Next is valuable recipe you had
almost forgotten, and which you found just in
time to save you much perplexity. There is q
sweet little story, the memory Of which has
cheered and encouraged you many time,
when almost ready to despair under the pres
sure Of LIES cares and trials. Indeed, you can
hardly take up "a single paper without reperus-
ing it. Just glance over the sheet before you,
and see how many valuable items it contains
that would be Of service to you hundred times
in life. A choice thought is far more precious
than bit Of gittering gold. Hoard with care
the precious gems, and see at the end Of the
wear what o rich treasure you have accumu-
lated
