baptized yesterday:eyening, aud VIZ can
safely say that a crowded house heard
the sermon on the ain against the Holy
Ghost, last night. Old and young are
pressing to the mercy seat and cry
nightly for pardon. The Word. IA
powerfully uttered. is attended by the
denomination and power of the Spirit.
A sermon. for the benefit of the children,
will be preached this afternoou, and
the ordinance OF baptism be admins
tered again on Sunday morning.

The SOUTHERN EXPRESS CoMpASYs
New QUARTERS We took turn, yes.
terday. through the rooms of the South
ern Express Company, and fonnd them
spacious and we'll planned for business,
neatly fitted up and delightfully."- airy.
A certain harmony seemed to prevail
throughout, from the delivery room to
the mure interior apartments. including
the horse stalls. These interested us
particularly, and in design. finish, com
fort and cleansing arrangements would
have met the approval of Mr.. Bergh,
the great friend of animals of New
York. A horse has no right to feel uu-
comfortable in these quarters. which are
cool, clean, beautiful, provided with
water aud gas, with zinc mangers and

Positiveness is most absurd foible.
Ii you are in the right, it lessons your
triumph; if in the wrong, it adds shame
TO your defeat.
