A Little sermon .. x.upx Men,

You are the architects OF your own for
tunes. Rely upon your strength of body and
soul. Take for your motto selfreliance, hon
esty and industry; for your star, faith, perse-
verance and pluck, and inscribe on your ban
ner. " Be just and fear not" Don't take too
much advice; keep at the helm and steer your
own ship. Strike out. Think we'll of your
self. Fire above the mark yo1 intend to hit.
Assume your position. Don't practise ex-
cessive humility; you can't get above your
level, as water don't run up hil-haul pota-
toes in cart over roush road and the small
potatoes will 60 to the bottom. Energy, in
vincible determination, With right motive.
are the levers that rule the world. The great
art of commanding is to take a fair share of
the work. Civility costs nothing and buys ev-
erything. Don't drink; don't smoke; don't
swear; don't gamble; don't steal; don't de-
ceive; don't tattle De polite; be generous;
be kind. Study hard, play hard. Be In earn
est. Be selfreliant. Read good books Love
your fellow-men as your God; love your coun-
try and obey its laws; love truth; love virtue.
Always do what your conscience tells you to
be duty, and leave the consequences with

The GERMAN SECESSION FROM THE CoUN-
CIL.-Certain theolosirns do not hesitate to
declare that they will separate from the Rom
ish Church if the Ecumenical Council should
pronounce in favor Of the doctrines which
the Company of Jesus desire to establish.
We have already reproduced several declara-
tons to that effect. new one has just ap-
peared to which the name and distinguished
qualities of the person who has signed 1t
give it special Importance. 1t emanates from
Or. Pichler, one of the pupils OF Canon Doll
liDger, and formerly professor of theology at
Munich, but Tor some years librarian at st.
Petersburg. The Doctor, in letter to the
Bishop of Mayence, announces that his con-
science would compel him to separate from
the Church of Rome if the Council Of the
Vatican should again confirm or extend the
anathemas pronounced by that held at Trent.
No doubt can any longer exist that the repe-
ution and extension in question win take
place. The learned gentleman referred to
may therefore be considered as not belonging
to the Romish Church. Brussels Nord, 14th.

A RESIDENT of Van Dieman's Land Is en-
thusiastic in his praise of the country. He
says, there are no fogs, and the rains come as
they are wanted; the winter is not cold, nor
the summer hot; the atmosphere is Uniform
ly pure, and the sky always unclouded; fruits
and vegetables of almost every variety grow
in great profusion and in the highest perfec-
tion; geraniums cover the houses instead of
ivy, and creepers in general rival the immor-
tai beanstalk in rapidity of growth; land is
cheap and of extraordinary fertility; butchers
meat is drug; crime is scarce, although 1t is
paradise Of thieves; ex-convicts are free,
haying been reformed up 10 the highest

viduals, or are rusticating under the privileges

FAMINE AMONG THE JEWS IN RUSSIA
The Jewish MESSENGER publishes a circular
from the Board OF Delegates of American Is
raeites, of which we extract the following:
Thousands of Israelites in the west of Rus
sia are at this moment august, 1891, a prey
to the horrors OF famine. You cannot picture
to yourself the frigatful spectacle which this
deplorable and mole than half decimated pop
ulation presents 10 the world. In the streets,
in the synagogues, in the Botte Midrdschin,
hundreds are to be seen daily dragging their
famished bodies along, and begging as a last
favor that some friendly hand should put an
end to their sufferings. Even in the schools
we find the boys dying side by side with their
master, the girls expiring in the arms of their
mistresses. Listen to a brief narration of
this fearful and heart rending catastrophe !:
At Telchen mother, maddened by the sight
of the sufferings endured by her children,
takes a kniIe and rips open her body, to show
that she had given everything to her children
and reserved nothing for herself At Pur-
wine we see mother, whose children have
brought her knife, asking her to cut them
some bread with it, plunge it into her heart.
At Schaulen, an old woman stretched upon a
wretched bed, refuses in her last hour the
food profered her, saying:
"Give it to my children, and when l am
dead they will find treasure that have hid
den for themW The poor woman is no more,
they lind her treasure to consist OF piece of
dry bread, already halt mouldy Upon bis

A PAPER lately read before the Pennsylva-
mia Historical Society states that the first
American flag was raised on the brig Nancy
in the harbor of Porto Rico in July, 1776.
The brig was chartered by the continental
Congress to procure military stores in the
West Indies, and while lying in the harbor
the news of the Declaration of independence
with description of the flag adopted arrived.
Thomas Manderville, one of the crew made a
flag, which was hoisted and saluted with
thirteen guns. When the brig was captured.
on her return voyage, off Cape Nav. the fac
was saved. The first flag made by order Of
Congress was made by Mrs. Elizabeth Ross OF
Philadelphia. 1t was accepted by Congress,
and for several years she furnished all the ma
tional flags.
