Our readers will recollect the recent intel
ligence from San Francisco of the wreck of
the Morning Star, the missionary vessel, in
the Pacific Ocean. The vessel was built by
contributions of the Sabbath School children,
has been an efficient aid in the missionary
work, and will be much missed. She was,
however, insured for $4,000. The Bangor
Wing says that Rev. B. G. Snow has just
written home to his brother, George A. Snow
of Brewer, stating that they saved none of
their personal effects from the wreck, but
were all spared, and Mr.. Snow and Mr.. Stur-
gis had arrived in Honolulu, and will be home
in few weeks. Mr.. Snow has been absent
from home nineteen years, his family having
been with him until two years ago, when his
wife and children came home.

ver made a remarkable speech. He urged
all political parties to give the ministry as
sistance, and not keep aloof because of errors,
which mad been or might be committed by

would not be discouraged because mistakes
had occurred, but would continue to point
out improvements. He closed with the pre-
dction that in spite of difficulties and acct
dents unforeseen, the ministry would yet sue
coed.
Eight hundred conscripts to- day marched
through the streets with a Grape bowed ban
ner at their head, to the publication office of
La Marseilaise. There they halted and sang
the "Marseilaise, after which they quietly
dispersed. The police made no attempt to

The fourth and last lecture in the high
school course was given last evening, at
Meonian Hall, by RersJ. u. Bingham, d. D.,
pastor OF the South Parish church in this city.
Subject !; Poetrys and the Poetry of Living. /"
The 1ecturer commenced with an acc cunt
Of the difficulty of satisfactorily defining
poetry. Observations were then made of the
definitions given by Fenelon, Blair, Bacon,
Milton, Charming, Ruskip, Aristotle, Cole
ridge and others. The lecturer then discussed
the distinction between poetry as an art and
poetry as sentiment--the one very limited,
the other universal. Then succeeded dis
cussion of the effects Of scenery, habits Of
life and language on the development of the
sentiment and the art. Connected with this,
DR.. Bingham gave a rapid account Of poetry
among the Arabians, Hebrews, Phenicians,
Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Chinese,
Greeks, Latins, French, Italians, Spanards,
Portuguese, Germans and English, The chief
points and their chef dqurres in all these
countries were named and characterized.
The last part of the lecture was devoted "
pointing cut the value of good poetry on the
character and happiness of mankind-answer-
ing the objections which are brought agains.
it, and showing how it may be employed by
all men to refine their hearts and cheer their
lives. There were some fine specimens of
poetry recited in the course of the lecture, in
a manner that showed the lecturers appre-
citation of the noble arr, and also his correct
ness of the conception OF the ideas conveyed
by the different authors. The lecture was
listened to with the closest attention, and was
fitting termination Of the home course which
has been in all respects an excellent one.
We had made arrangements to give COM
prehensive synopsis Of DIR. Bingham's adnra-
bic lecture, as we have Of the preceding lee
lures in the course; but consulting in this
case his own preferences rather than the de-
sire of our readers, we are obliged to omit its
publication, but do so with great reluctance
