A YOUTHFUL GENIUs-The NJ E. Church was
crowded to excess during the morning and night
service on last Sabbath to hear the powerful
preaching of the Rev. r. A. Holland of Trinity
Church, Baltimore In the morning he preached
the commencement sermon of the Wesleyan Fee
male Institute taking his subject ssJesus Of
Nazareth" The subject at night was ssThe Cos
pei" Both sermons were fine specimens of rheto-
ric and were listened to with breathless attention
by the audience, many Of whom had heard the ell
oquens Munscy, and believed that he never could
be equalled. Mr.. Holland has great descriptive
powers; swelling vein Of poetry runs through
his discourses; he is fowery and dramatic-graee
full and distinct Of enunciation, and yet with all
these, he display much learning for one young,
being, we understand, but "a years of age. Mr..
Munsey is powerful in argument, intellectual and
metaphysical languagei is more forciblethan
beautiful still he wins you over by his power
and deep delying research. Both are great pull
pit orators and ornaments to the church they serve
Mr.. Holland is native of Kentucky, who may
well call him Of the jewels of her brilliant
crown. s2sf4

THE SPRINKLEh.--FriendC Cease will never cease
showering blessings upon the poor sufferers by
dust on a hot, windy day. His sprinkler keeps
going its rounds through the business part Of the
city, and thereby saves our merchants many a
dollar which, otherwise, might be lost on goods
damaged by pulverized dried mud, saying moth
ing Of blinded eyes and dingy looking windows.
The citizens should see that this miniature Niagara
is sustained it convinces strangers that we o
business people and can afford to be comfortable.
"Down with the dust"'-pay for the luxury and
console yourself with the idea that you are doing
public good while paying the laborer for his en-
terprize. As.drop of comfort may be denied by
the advocates of Temperance. but the many drops
of comfort Mr. Cease gives the public no one can
carp at. So, we repeat-down with the dust.
