The following is from the New York
Suns. report of Mr. Beeeher's sermon at
Plymouth church on astSunday evening: !.
Then Mr.. Beecher took his text from
Ephesians iv., 28:" Let him that stole steal
no more; but rather let him labor, working
with his hands the thing which IL good, that
he may have to give to him that needeth.,'
That is the pattern of reformed life, said
Mr. Beecher. Some people gain their living
without earning it. Il causes suspicious Of
slight Of hand. /" Let him that stole steal no
morr." Its necessary to have been thief
to steal, but there is great deal of stealing
not done by thieves, and ! advise all those
who obtain their livelihood In an improper
way to earn il in q proper way her CATER. I
".BY TIE SWEAT OF TnY pRew.rg =, !,
Every man should earn his own living. i
do not say II is o misfortune to be born rich,
but do say that of one hundred men born
with money and one hundred men born
without 1t the chances to find virtue and
happiness are better in the last hundred. He
who is born In life to rise early, to work, to
earn his living, Is the happy man. A man
who works Is healthier and happier than he
who does not; and he is, moreover, de-
barred from those temptations which spring
from the possession of wealth.. and those
pitfalls which bave ruined SO many
young men. Itis not only necessary to earn
our own livelihood, but we must rise with
the sun in summer and before it in Winter,
and work with our hands. There is no de-
gradation in labor. 1t eXalts the man. 1t
was IT disesteened in earlier days Only
in Greece and Rome it was despised because
the Greeks and Romans owned slaves. The
nation to which we owe so much and from
which we have learned so much-the Jewish
nation-aways honored labor. The. Jews
taught their children some little craft, and
they were. not drudges. A drudge Is a man
who labors with bis hand and has NO mind
10 control him, no conscience behind it, no
manhood. >.,..-, ,s.-.s s.s. .sasrf.5i

There have been lately solne remarkably
fortunate investments, and one among the
most successful was that of Thomas Higgins,
No. 50 Delta street, who withdrew from
his capital the sum of twenty-five cents,
with which he went to the office of A. l..
MouiO, corner of Exchange alley and
Custonhouse street, and bought One-fOurth
Of combination ticket Nos. 5, 80, So, class
POI, in the Louisiana State Lottery, which
luckily drew the capital prize Of $5O27 50.
Any reader can readily calculate what
one fourth Of that big sum is and how
large was the profit OF the twenty-five
cents investment. We have no means Of
knowing the amount of capital previously
possessed by Mr.. Higgins, but it is certain
that he is now a capitalist to limited ex-
tent, and may have money to invest in
railroad or bank stocks. We congratulate
Mr.. Higgins on his good fortune, and hope
he NAV do so some more.

People of New Orleans who pay five

at home and abroad, see to it..
1t might be suggestively added see

of a past political power don't cum
Der the way: see that the voice of the
people, chained down by those who do
none of the voting and all of the grOwl-
ing, and who are in the first rank to get a
fat office, TO which their interest does not
entitle them, see to it that these public de-
moralzers have no chance at the bellows,
no finger in the pie again. The State in
debtedness has not been increased one cent
by H. C.. WarmOth. On the contrary, vii
lainy in the Legislature. by which the debt
could be increased, was killed Off by the
S-j.000;OJ0 amendment, suggested by Gov
ernOr WarmOth, who has destroyed by his
veto more jobs than ever have passed. The
State debt is but $23.0JJ.09), al told. See
to it. The State taxes are levied 10 pay tie

bully. We believe in paying debts-sec to
1t. The augmentation in the city debt has
been made by the TOse-Watered Democrats

EXCURSION OF brad FERRY STEAM ENGINE
COMPANY No. u TO BHOXI-During the ex-
cursion season different excursionsts take
their different routes. Many think there is
no place ike Grand Isle while others put
up Mississippi City as the haven Of all en-
jOvments. Differing from these we find the
gallant boys of Trad Ferry Steam Engine
Company No. u, who, on Saturday morning,
the seventeenth instant, left the city on a
pleasure trip to Biloxi. Shortly before
seven o'clock in the morning this efficient
company left its headquarters, preceded by
the efficient silver cOrnet band Of Frank
Fortune. The boys cheerfully fell into line,
under the command of their old and hon
ored officers, among whom we're the presi-
dent, in the person of Mr.. William Il. MaQ-
ming; first assistant, William Tierney; sec
ond assistant, II. BurteIl, and marshal Of
the company our esteemed friend William
Terrell, port warden foreman, Mr.. D. c.
Mccarthy.
These boys arrived at Biloxi about half
past ten o'clock, when they one and all set
about to amuso themselves according to
their different notions. They, however,
fixed their headquarters at the Bossell
House, where every one found himself at
home and amply supplied with spiritual
and creature comforts. Everything in the
neighborhood worthy of inspection having
been visited, the boys returned to the hotel
and soon made themselves presentable to
aunpar al the ball, which was elabOratelv
provided for. On this occasion the ball
room of the Bossell House was graced by a
number of the Mobile and New Orleans
bellies, who took their several parts in the
dances as Southern ladies only know how
to do.
Sunday morning was passed by the boys
in bathing, running and such other kind of
innocent amusement as they could think of
and on Sunday evening they returned to
the city, every one feeling much better for
the trip.

A writer in the September Sc,ibner gives
a curious instance of history Tor tctionl
repeating itself. She tells a story of an old
coiored minister who, in a sermon on hell,
pictured it as region of ice and snow,
where the damned froze through eternity.
When privately asked his purpose in repre-
don't dare to tell them people nothing else,
Why, if l were to say that hell was warm,
some of them old rheumatic niggas would
be wanting to start down there the very
first FROST" Washington Irving uses sub
stantially the same idea of changing the fu-
ture to suit different tastes in his description
of the Dutch town of Brock, famous for it's
cleanliness. He says that the most fervent
celebrations were of no avail in converting
the matTOns there until the dominic pictured
the Heavenly City as one of a purity that
surpassed even that of Brock itself That
sermon converted the town.

Women Riding Astride.

From the Turf, Field ana Farm.
Let the innovation become a custom, and
then if we wonder at it at all it will be at
the thought that the barbarOus practice
should have lived through so many centu-
ries. To give up the side-saddle is to blur
certain lines of grace, and to slightly mar a
beautiful picture, but we can afford to sac
rifce much on the score of safety and com
fort. The side-saddle, generally speaking,
is an instrument of torture to the horse; it
is the cause of many serious accidents, and
the fair rider carries her life in her hand, as
it were. A sudden plunge, or a stumble
and the woman, wrapped IN her long skirt
goes to earth 1t is unmanly to insist that
the fair partners of our bOsoms should al
ways be kept at disadvantage. We men
should not compel them to constantly face
a danger that we shrink from ourselves.
The most beautiful may be the most ad-
mired and caressed, but they are not always
the most esteemed and loved.
