ly from orthodox sonrces or
not. In his sermon last Sun
day, alluding to the Chicago
fire, he SAID:
'Let us waste no more tears
over Chicago. She isInot dead,

istic of that community. Man.

The Queen of England, from
her imperial throne, flashes an
order to Canada to empty the
storehouses of blankets and
send them to Chicago. That
touches my heart. There is
more in those blankets to bind
Canada and Great Britain to
our hearts than all England's
muskets and all her ships of
war. In our late war there
was some feeling aroused be-
tween England and This coun-
try. She has touched the other

city of London gives one thou.

one city, in the world that's

HERE is hardly another
sight in the world, says Haw.
thorne in one Of his roman ces,
so pretty as that of a company
OF young girls-almost women
groWn-at play, and so giving
themselves up to their airy i'm.
pulses that their tiptoes barely
touch the ground. Girls are
so incomparably wilder and
more effervescent than boys,
more untamable, and regard
less of rule and limit, with an
eVershiiting variety breaking
continually into new modes of
fun, but with a harmonious
propriety through all. Their
step, their voices appear as
lree as the wind, but keep con
sonance with a strain of music
inaudible to us. Young men,
and boys, on the other hand,
play according to recognized
law, old Evolutionary games,
permitting no caprlces of fancy,
but with scope enough for the
outbreak of savage instincts;
for, young or old, in play or in
earnest, man is prone to be a
brute.

Rev. 9. Fl. TAYLOR, of Oincin
natl in a sermon, draws the fol.
lowing comparison between
the Chicago and other great
fires which have occurred in the
worlds history:
The pecuniary loss to the
nation from this fire is unparal.
leled in the history of such
calamities. According to the
best estimates it is four times
as great as that of the burning
of Moscow, when thirty thou.
sand buildings were consumed;
nine times that of the great
fire in London--in 1s66-when
thirteen thousand buildings
were consumed; twenty five
times that of the great fire in
New York in 1885; twenty.six
times that OF the famous fire in
San Francisco in 1851; and
twenty times that of the burn
ing of ConStantlnople last year,
when seven thousand buildings
were consumed, and one. thou.
sand lives were lost. In short,
it is nearly twice as great as
the losses of all these famous
fires together.
