Grace church, despite the continuance OF the
dealing heat OF the week last past, was very
well attended yesterday, which fact should stand
as proof that this sacred edifce, while laying
claim to hold, direct and apply the pencil with
which the gossamer finish Of elaborated gentiity is
laid over what Is known as the "loudest style"
during the entire season Of home enjoyments, is
not at all void Of Its other usefulness,
EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF BROWN.
II is true that during the morning service, which
consisted Of preparation for and the partaking Of
the sacrament OF the Lords SUPPER the rotund
form OF the devout sexton was not seen either in
the front aises OF the building, as is usual In
that delightfully."- artistic pose OF his, which is be-
eved universally to be lifelikc representation of

Brown was not there In the body, though he NAV
have been In the spirit, and his ASSISTANTS were
thereby much perplexed by the continuous in
quIrics OF curious strangers, who had evidently
come to the house Of God In the hope OF
glimpse at Brown This, the reporter is in
formed, Is not q perplexity confined exclusively
TO the heated term when Brown is never there,
but extends throughout the entire year, whether
Brown be there or away. There seems, IL Is said,
to be a prevailing impression that Brown is very
fat and strangers have persistent curiosity con-
cernino gentecl and olcaginous matter done up in
sunday clothing, as Brown Is presumed 10 be.

700 absorbed IN business and worldly pleasures.
Generally worldly things oyershadow the heavenly;
business Is prosecuted for its own sake instead OF
for Christ's sake, and as Hfs steward. Men should
remember that they are
STEWARDS OF CHRIST.
They should conduct their business for Jesus. II
they ielt that Jesus has sent them their business,
that would sanctify 1t. Otherwise, their hearts
would become neutralized, and they develop into
mammon worshipers. They should he moderate.
The gigantic establishments are sending men to
lunatic asylums; men were oyerworking their
brains. Let them resolve that when they had
enough to occupy their attention and energies
they would not strive to add to 1t. His final point
was that good Impressions are sometimes lost
because those who are the subjects Of them
give way to procrastination. Pharaoh kept telling
Moses that he should beseech the Lord tomorrow
Felix awaited for the convenient season. The only
way man could keep the freshness OF his con-
science was to keep his heart up to the conscience
They might succeed In
STAYING OFF THE EVIL
at present, but II would come with treble force in
the future: They might stine their convictions all
through life, but by and by its fires would leap over
the very flames OF hell To-day they should yield
to the Impressions in them and decide for Jesus Re-
sist prOcrastinatiOn. To-day was theirs. To-mor-
row did not long to any of them. To-day they
should seize the opportunity to attend to their
souls salvation.

ST. pAUIs METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH

Sermon by the Rev. DIR. FOss-Vho Use
OF Power-Infiucnce Exertcd for Good
or EVIL.
The Rev. Dr. Foss preached an excellent SER
mon to large congregation in the ab0ve-named
church yesterday morning. The learned divine took
his text from Matthew 2s, xviii.-"All power is
given unto me In heaven and In earth," and
opened his discourse thereup0n by drawing atten-
tlon to the fact that the words OF his text were ad-
dressed by Saviour to His disciples just prior
to His leaving earth. He had passed through all
the sufrerings he had to endure during His soourn
In this world; had endured
THE AGONY OF CRUCIFXION;
had risen from the dead and was about to reascend
into the kingdom Of heaven. Then 1t was that
Christ began to assert His omnipotence, and Mat
thew has recorded that his great Master bade His
disciples go forth and teach the world and lie
would he always with them. All the evil done on
THE sELrIsH USE OF POWER
Evil OF all kinds springs from this basis. We find
that this is so among nations. among companies, In
families-everywhere All the good that Is In the
universe OF God and on this earth einanates from
the right use Of power. God is utterly unselfish,
and it was His unbounded love that induced Him to
create mankind. He Ia working out His own glory
and every good action done ON earth tends TO &C
complish this end. The preacher thought that
GODS GREAT OBJECT
was to please the eherubim, seraphim and all His
heavenly host when He sent His be0vedSOn to save
man frOnl SIN ana the punishment ltS COMMISSION
entails. This was the result OF right exercise OF
power All the benedictOns which men enjoy from
the superabundance OF love Christ bears to us
sesses. We ought to exercise any influence we
may possess In Like manner. Some have the
POWER OF WEALTH,
others OF extraordinary nteigence-few, In fact,
are without any. BY striving to advance
Christianity we please Christ, who Is Wn ail
should not dare to raise our hands IN
rebellion against God, for could hope to win
in contest with his Creator. We ought therefore
to seek to do this good work by using our influence
TO further
THE WORKINGS OF CHRISTIANITY.
Any EFFORT that we may make to do this, as the
text says, will be assisted by the power OF our
Savior, and He will reward the sOwer Of the good
seed that will elevate His glory when the day OF
Judgment shall arrive.
A large number Of communicates attended the

Born Drunk.

Among the names registered at the
Tombs the other night was that of ayouth
about fifteen years old, who had been ar
rested for being drunk. But he was not
drunk, nor had he been drinking. He
was, moreover, in good, sound health,
but gave all the external indications of
being intoxicated when arrested by a
police officer. Upon protesting TO the
keeper of the Tombs that he was not in
toxicated, it was revealed that that the
unfortunate youth had been born natu-
raj drunkard, or rather, that he had al
ways acted like such thing. He said
that, although in the very best of health.
he had never been able to walk without
staggering, His speech was not unlike
that of persons in the state of intoxica-
ton, and when excited he would mutter
and reel. The unfortunate youth was
detained until the next day. and was
not sent to the courts to be gazed mt
through judicial speetacles. A subse-
Quent investigation of the case proved
that the lad was telling the truth about
himself, but his condition revealed
demonstration Of that natural law that
the child is fair copy of his parents.
- 0HbS1AS AAttAN pAAOt " AutAA AAeS-S, the
father had been a secret but confirmed
inebriate, and when the facts became
known to the woman thus suddenly and
unexpectedly, she wept in the most ter
rible manner. Almost broken-hearted
she contemplated the future misery in
store for her. Months passed away,
when it was discovered that the child Mt
three years of age acted strangely, and
at the end of six months the UNI
happy woman fully realized all her fore
bodings. The effect produced upon the
father, however. Realizing, in the midst
of tears of bitter anguish, the sin that
had been visited upon the child, the man
reformed He has now several bright
children, and most exemplary ones, too,
they are. But the boy that was brought
into the Tombs was not drunk, but has
entailed upon him life of misery, as 1t
was, blasted destiny.

The attempts Of our British cousins to
reach the mainland by rail- either over
or under the channel, may, for The pres
ent, be considered abandoned. Even
had the experiment of swimming across,
which was tried in August, succeeded,
this manner of travelling would hardly
have become general, nor indeed desira-
BILE; for the continent Of Of Europe IS
not exactly the place whore strangers
without clothes, baggage, and what is
still more, without money are apt to be
welcome. John Bull is far too practical
not 20 see this, and he seeks therefore to
make the old means Of communication
as comfortable as the case may admit,
and number Of expedients have been
suggested to that end Harbor improve
ments are contemplated at Dover, which
will admit the landing OF large steamers
like those now running between Holy
head and Ireland. A covered walk is to
be built from the railway stations, as well
at Dover rs at Calais, to the Wharves Of
the steamers To make the passage
pleasant new kind of boat has been pro
jected, which will not only shorten the
time Of crossing, bat do away with sea-
sickness. For this purpose an entirely
new method of construction Is devised.
The boilers and machinery, which were
formerly placed in that part Of the YES
sci where its immovable centre OF gray
ity lies, are to be located fore and aft
In the space thus vacated a cabin is to
be hung, which can be kept in horizon
tai position by heavy weights attached
underneath. But as this would not
wholly obviate the rocking of the vessel
(the cause of the sea-sickness) being felt,
remedy had to be provided against the
natural tendency which pendent bodies
have to oscillate whe4l not fastened to
stationary point; still more had to be
considered, the question how "A moving
floor, on which several hundred persons
promenade to and fro, even at times col
leet on one side, could be kept perfectly
steady. These difficulties we've also over
come by applying in the steamers the
same hydraulic power which enables
boy in a steel mandatory to move Il tub
weighing sixteen tons at distance of
sixteen feet, and to empty it as easily as
a glass of water OF these steamers two
are now being constructed. They have
a length of $50 feet each, and are ex-
peeted to make twenty miles an hour.
The cabins are to be oblong, fifty feet
long, thirty wide and twenty high
Should these new steamers realize the ex-
pectations of their owners similar ones
will be used for longer voyages, and the
result would naturally be acomplete rev
olution In steam navigation.

TO THE
EFHE subscriber respectfully invites your
Il attention to
Portable Plank and Straight
Rail Fence,

Which he confidently believes solves the fence
question, which, since the change of our labor
system, is now the question Of the farm.
This fence is one of unqueStionable merit, so
proclaimed by all who have examined or used
IT, With nearly one-halfless Rails, the insight
ly crooked fence can be converted with small
cost, into substantial durable Fence, with
out the of new rails. 1t is easily made,
~and can be rapidly constructed. Properly
constructed, il IS proof against unruly stock,
wind or food, and will stand ten years, if not
longer without repair. No part of the Fence
NEED touch the ground; requires no post-holes,
no boring, no mortISing-
This fence has been in in the State of
New ork for five years, and has more than
met the most sanguine expectation of the most
practical farmers The Fence is an invention
of the subscriber, but finding himself antici-
pated by Patents issued March II, 1867, to the
parties above mentioned. he has made ar
engagements with that Company, to sell State,
county, and Farm Rights in this State. He
would suggest TO parties DESTROYS of making
good investments to raise joint companies or
clubs of three more with the view of pur-
chasing Territorial Rights.
The favorable reception with which this
Fence has met, andis meeting, renders this a
rare opportunity to men of energy, to more
than double their investment in a short time
For cheapness, durability and solidity, we
invite inspection, challenge all possible compe-
tition, and defy the criticism of the strictest
economy. Over the common crooked Fence it
saves nearly four thousand rails to the mile;
and estimating the cost of both fences at three
dollars per hundred for making, hauling and
putting up the rails, it will save over $40 per
mile, and give you a fence doubly as durable,
and dOubly as strong as the common crooked
fence
The merits of this Fence are fully protect
ed by law, and all Imitation Inventors must
incur the risk of infringement.
An infringement consists in the actual
manufacture, sale or use of article, and
not in the purchase of patent rights.
