Sermon by the Rev. G.. II. Hepworth on
Moral Courage-The Brave Young Men or
Modern Life.
Mr.. Hepworth delivered a sermon to large au.

courage as an element Of success, especially In New
York. His text was from Matthew XVI, 74-oThen

IN which Peter acted SO prominent and cowSrdly

sense, a man must have moral courage. He needs

que has sent US the Dubuque Times,
containing a report Of the untimely
and tfagical death, Of bis brother Mat.
We deeply sympathise with our friend
and fellow-townsman in. his sore aflic-
ton. The following we take from the
above named paper all that is known
of the terrible tragedy.
Mar. ANDERSON AssAssINArED.-
From the daily San Diego Gal Bnlt

by a half breed Mexican and Indian,
which murder gas committed on the
evening Of The 5th inst. The deceased

son of the Primitive Methodist church
Of this city, formerly of Wisconsin.
The murdered man was MEMBER OF
band Of music and Whils pfaEsieihg
in a saloon this Mexican catie III and
appeared somewhat intoxicated, and
became SO noisy as to disturb the band.
He. finally took out his knife and offer,
ed it to several, and Anderson took it
and laid it on the table. A few min
utes after the Mexican started out and
Anderson carried his knife to him. and
as be, Anderson stepped out of the
door, those in side heard the shot and saw
the body fall. They hurried to his
side, and found that the ball had enter
ed his brain killing him instantly. No
cause for the murder, other than pure
wantonness is cited. The assassin was
caught few hours after his bloody
deed, and lodged III Jail. He made
desperate resistancs to capture bnt was

time is coming and we trust not far dis

Beechgr on Dying.

In his prayer meeting recently, Mr..
Beecher said he did not think it an evil
dence Of special Christian grace to be will
ing. to die. It is better to be willing to live
and do the duties of life. When Paul said
it was better to be willing to- depart, he
was an old man in prison. If an October
pippin says ii is ready to drop, is that
any reason little green apple in June
should be ready +?
1t is the duty of green apples to get
ripe All the represen tations in the New
Testament about death are full Of cheer
and hope. For Paul to die was to go te
Christ:
Dying is not getting shert of breath
and feeble of pulse ; it Is flying up to TIE
all loving soul of the universe. 1t is going
to sweet companionship. We struggle or
through the world, finding little compan-
onship, but we go to the spirits of mer
made pc, feet. We go where all the con-
ditions lift us to realm ofnobility. There
all is concord. There is no selashhess
hardness crudeness. and rudeness, and
revenge, all are working up with one
sweet impulse, with the great, genial, Gre
ative force of Divine love, These thou shts
ring in my soul like the bells of far of
city drawing me titherward, Dying is
the easiest thing mer do. Fhe suffering is
in life, but as rule, men die as easy as O
door turns on its hinges. Dying is going
home, supineness, not to oriental luxury
but to supreme activity where every par
is developed and cultured in a realm o.
love- Bless God for the privilege Of dy
ing My brother Charles who was always
in dying moodi once congratulated MY
father upon the fact that he could not
live much longer.
"Umph" said the old man, 81 aon't
thank any of nay boys to talk to me in
that way. l don't want to die. IF had
my choice, and it was right to choose,
would fight the battle all over. Father
was war horse and after he was ttrned
out to pasture, whenever be heard the
sound of the trumpets, he wanted the sad
die and bride.

A. hide en- a locomotive.

"Could we ride with the driver ?"
"You won't find it so pleasant as you
imagine, but you. can try 1t"
The conductor signals, the engeEeet
erasps one of the mysterious levers which
put him en- rapport with the modern beh =
moth, and the docile monster whisks
away as if rejoicing in the lightness Of
the play day train behind him. AS our
speed increases we become painfully aware
that we are not on springs. The easy
swing of the car does not pertain to the
locomotive, which jumps to its work with
rioting, trampling, trip-hammer energy
that disdains the thought {, f s'e and %
ness. We cannot keep our feet, and find
it hard to keep the high and narrow slip
perry seat, with nothing 10 hold on to.
The speed seems terrific. The country
no longer glides away from us with a
drifting motion,-it rushes on Us like a
thunderbolt The trees and houses hav,
whirling motion, fierce, tumultuou>
maddening. as though hurled towards II
vortex from which We are momentarilI
escaping. InstinctiFcly we ghrnak as the
track cuts under us. and the huge rocks
by the way-side seem flying at Us.
Ahead Is curve. What rs beyond it ::
We watch the disch1$arg line with pecul-
lar fascfnatroMi for terrible possibilities
are ever just out of sight. Gradually ouI
senses become used to their new expert
ehce; and we are willing to forcgo on,
useless vigilance: or the right the river
flows like Il river in vision,-noi> eleSs
swift, and strangely calm On the left
the hills waltz ana reel, bearing down on
the track like an endless avalanche. Above
Che fery clouds betoken the close of a
brilliant day, but it makes US dizzy to
look at them. 1t is pleasanter to study
the steady poise of the driver. Alert
self possessed, pretending, he sees every
inch of the track by flashes of observa-
ton, lets out or restraints the needless
energy Of his all but living engine, and
holds the lives of us all with a grasp as
true as it is seemingly unconscious. We
plunge into the shadow Of Kittatinny
Mountain, pierce the poins Of rocks that
projects into the river, and stop amid q
confusion Of backing trains, shrieking
engines, aud the shout of trsckmen. We
are at Bridgeport' and as 5000 as the
bridge is clear we shall cross to Ferris
burg.
II shall have realizing sense of my
obligation to the engine-driver, after this, "
remarks the untraveled man. as we climb
down from the locomotive land whole
some respect for his skill and courage. y

predictions prove false, it will be the first
time during his long political life.
"Now, gentlemen, Mr.. Schurz MAIDS a

with the declaration that their banners

Thou hast unboundthe icy letters Of the quivsring

Searched cen the most ihscratable works,
Where crafty Winter in cayernous brooks,
With counsel cool, and dark desigt,
Here prowled his avaricioss eye,
And thus to hide his glttsring gems
How vain the heary wretch did try.
Spring, Spring thou art with us, Joyous sprihgt
With real ench ami ment on thy balmy wing;
Phou contest with merry music and Bright array,
OF ifIarshalled sunbeams, do proclaim thy way.
The hills, the drowsy hills, look up thy glance to

As if, now half ashamed of their long dreanless
sleep.
And quickly to do homage to the new crowned
queen,
Their sontbre peaks airs set with myriad remnants

The silent, s'uhibering flowers,
Next hear thy magic tread,
Ard quickly DER the fields
Their fragrant bloom is spread.

E. G, Ryan, of Milwaukee, has given it
as his opinion chat the liquor law does
not apply to cities in the State in which
their charters provide for licensing the
sale of liquor, and if so must be inopera-
