neA- The masons, some time sine.

nsA- The masons, some time since
resolved to demand, on the first of
May, four dollars per day. We hear OF
one boss who says that sooner than
comply with the demand he will finish
up the work in hand, and then crest
from his labors." He has not the heart
he says, to ask four dollars and half
for each man employed, and unless he
can receive at least fifty cents per man
for his own expenses, he cannot afford
to go on with work. We hope howev-
er, that matters will be amicably adjust
ed, so that no time will be lost, for
there is work enough to keep all hands
busy. If the "bosses" won't pay the
increased demand, become bosses your
selves, and then all the profits you earn
will be your own.

BeS~ Many people think it very nice
to be Reporter-well, so it is-espe-

those for whom they cater. We were
on Saturday the recipient of magni fl
cent pattern of a gentleman's coffee cup
and saucer, gotten up in the highest
style of the art. Mr.. John Marren,
who has just opened a complete crock
cry store at SO Broad street, evidently
with an eye to business, as well as the
welfare of our Reporter is the donor of
the beautiful gift. We shall prize il
highly, and in using the cup, ever re-
member his goodness. By-the-way,
Mr.. M. advertises crockery at very low
prices, and as he has large stock, our
readers may rely upon being suited ct
this establishment. Lets hear no
more about going out of town for
goods.

Bsy~ The question of permitting the
horse-cars to be run ON Sundays is being
agitated, and while many good people
favor it, many also object to what they
call dissertation of the Sabbath. >
Let us look at the subject in an enigh-
tened way. Elizabeth has extended be-
You'd the old limits, which were all with
in walking distance. The people have
been obliged to take up residences re-
mote from their favorite churches, and
many must forego their customary wor-
ship if they are obliged to walk to them
especially in bad weather = unless
they can be conveyed in the cheap and
convenient way which horse-ears afford.
Even if carriages could be as cheaply
used, they would create much greater
dis order in the street than the cars,
and we think we express the opinion
of many church goers and well-wishers
of peaceful Sundays when we say that
the horse-cars, with responsible mana
gers, would be much less likely to pro-
mote immortality than the noisy hacks
and carriages, which take their place,
without legal or moral restraint. We
cannot expect to succeed any longer in
restraining popular liberty, and if we
do not regulate in reasonable manner
the growing wants of the people they
will regulate themselves in their own
way.
Another consideration is found in the
wants of our suburban people as well as
those living in the lower wards. The
same argument which justifies the rich
man in keeping his coachman outside
the church door every Sunday applies
also to car-drivers and conductors.

Nsap Women generally respect men
in proportion as they possess good and
worthy qualities. Women are not
fools nor are all men. 1t is worth
while for every man to possess some
thing worthy the admiration of woman
in other words, to have some sort of
possession, more or less and more, if
possible rather than less that it is in.
tlinsically valuable. Good looks come
of nature, but almost everything else
comes from mans own effort. Women
have no respect for mere dummies and
-heads-shells or skeletons
but they like realities. We repeat,
women are no fools although they are
very near them when in some mems
company.

The MONUMENT. An adjourned meet

tai Union, was held at the Court House
on Saturday evening, large number of
persons being present. Remarks were
made by John Davidson Esq. Col. Suy-
dam, Joseph H. Gray, Esq, and others,
and the Union was greatly encouraged
thereby.
Mr.. Davidson suggested that each
town and township in the county be in
vited to contribute block of stone dug
from its own vicinity, for the base of
the monument.
The collectors made cheering reports
the Sixth ward being slightly ahead
in the amount subscribed
The Union have resolved to hold
meetings on Saturday evening of each
week.
There is now no doubt but that the
patriotic work will succeed. AS soon
as the design is agreed upon, the con-
tract will be awarded, and on the Fourth
of July next, we hope to witness the
laying of the cornerstone.
The project is in good hands, and as
a great many persons are in the habit
of attending the meetings of the Union,
q great deal of interest is manifested in
the undertaking.

aea- Rev. William G. Roberts preat

B@. Rev. William G. Roberts preach
ed the fifth of series of sermons ON
Temperance, last evening at Westmin-
ster Church, to very large and atten-
tive congregation, from Luke 21st chap.
Saith verse. "And take heed to your
selves, lest at any time your heart be
over-charged with surfeiting and drunk
eness. :"
The sermon throughout, was as it
should be, of a decided total abstinence
character, and well calculated to con-
vince all who heard it of the danger of
social drinking, and the importance
that should be attached to the words of
the text, they were not the words of
man but of Christ himself Illustrations
drawn from life forced home, to the
minds of his hearers, the dreadful end
of those who are drawn into the great
maelstrom of intemperance step by
step, until they are lost.
We are glad to see our clergy sound
ing the alarm with no uncertain sound,
for intemperance is rapidly gaining
ground in our city, Notwithstanding the
efforts of the Sons of Temperance, I'M
der whose auspices these sermons are
being preached.
DR.. Miller will preach the sixth of
the series next Sunday evening at the
Court House, to be followed on the
Sunday evening after by Rev. J. Van
Benschoten of st. Paul's Church.
