CoNFIRMATIoN. AT St. Mary's Church,
yesterday, at a. m, the Sacrement of Con-
firmation was administered to one hundred and
seventeen persons, OF whom twenty were color.
ed; little more than half the number being
men and boys About thirty adults including
several well-known citizens, who have recently
become members OF the Catholic Church, were
among those confirmed.
Bishop Gibbons first made short, but beau
tifuI and Instructive address to the candidates,
and they then advanced two and two, and knelt
before him as he sat in front of the altar, while
their foreheads were amounted with chrism 10
the form of cross; the males going first and
then the females almost all of whom wore white
dresses and white wells: One old gentleman,
who appeared to be very aged indeed, was so
feeble as to be unable to 90 up, and was con-
6rmed sitting 10 his chair. After the conclud-
ing prayer, the bishop gave most impressive
charge to those he had confirmed to be soldiers
of Christ indeed, and as they had become the
temples of the Holy Ghost, to let no thought
enter their hearts which might grleve the
Spirit of Light and Love.
At IL a. u. another very large congregation
was 10 attendance, and the Bishop preached
most excellent discourse from the first verse OF
the 18th chapter Of St. John s Gospel: 81 anl
the true vine" His voice is clear and musical,
and his delivery graceful and easy, and though
his language is plain enough to be understood by
the most ignorant, yet his style is elegant aud
his illustrations striking and beautiful. bespoke

He set about to captiyate the blooming and
upsophisticated heiress, whose fortune the
rumor ran, consisted in lots tenements, and
hcredtaments in the city, with paying stocks
pud hard cash in proportion. He talked freely
with the ladys aunt, and spoke often Of his
capital and the admirable use he had made OF
il. He wooed the young maiden, and being
gentleman of taste and fashion and fine clothes:
he won her. The marriage day was set, but
before its arrival the young man called unex-
pcctedly at certain other emporium IN the
civ where ladies' dresses and ladies' under
wear were made, and lo he found his young
heiress in draggled dress of faded sea-green
sitting at a sewing machine, very laboriously

moonlight devotion An eagle basking in the
sunlight could not be more surprised at a blow

raised her head saw the young capitalist gazing
in bewilderment upon her, and fingered only
long enough to upset the chair IN which she was
sitting, turn over one sewing machine and leap
over another, and, as a servant gill departs
when she lights on lot of substance which she

The moral of this story is SO plain that no one
can escape it. All is not gold that glitters.-
Young man, beware of the fortunes which are
picked up like blackberries at the Springs. Set
not your hearts on those Aeeeting treasures Of
earth, which pass away so soon, and are no

was diSpelled in cruel and uusympa,hising
reality. A clerk, whose business it was to stand
behind the counter of fashionable empo-
rum aud expatiate upon the merits of his em-
poyer's stock of gentIemeu's scarfs, hosiery,
handkerchiefS and underwear, came to grief 10
a distressing way The young map had del
icate and equisite taste, and the goods which he
sold to thc sucbs aud swells of the city never
passed from his hands without having every
merit forcibIy and eloquenty presented to the
purchaser He was eminently successful in his
ue; and, had not the fires of ambition been
kindled in his bosom too soon, there is no tell
iug what salary would not have been at his
command.
But fate, as if envious of this prosperous ex
istence, led the youth to believe that he was
destined for more brilliant career. Accord
iugIy he betook himself to the Springs as the
most advantageous field Of operations.
