plain, practical sermon at Mt. Cuba, last Sum
day afternoon, after reading the plrable Of
the wise man who built his house on lhs rock,
and the foolish one who built his house On the
sand In the course of his remarks he observ-
ed that religi IN consiste OF working as we'll as
helleving-that there is little virtue in any be-
lief or profession, that is not sustained by good
works. He believed in practical christianity,
in honesty, in doing good, Ia visiting the sick,
comforting the afflicted, aud encouraging the
broken hearted. He thought that too much
importance is attached to creeds. man may
be as ortho1O as the devil, aud yet not be a
christian. To be christian he must be Christ
like. lie reminded those who assume the cloak
of religion tor the sake Of gain, of the fate that
awaits all hypocIits, and contsnded that all who
wish to be happy hereafter should not rely on
death-bed repentance, but set about doing good
works with the least possible delay and thus
prepare themselves for the enjoyment of that
higher life which can only be reached through
the portals of death. lie will preach next Sun
day afternoon al tue same place, and Ia the an
nouncement be Invited the ladies TO bring their
talk louder than they could, and IT they BECAME
too obstreperous, they could take walk along

Neiv CosiIe.-we took look at the buildinga
and grounds OF the Tasksr Iron Works, about
mile from New Castle last week. The extent
or magnitude OF the mill budIn g prove a sur.
prise to the visitor: Two are already up and
enclosed, and wOrkmen were engaged on the
foundation of another. The, buildings have
brick walls aud slaisioofs. Their dimensions
are as followss No. i 2D3 feet long by 100 In
width No. $500 feet long by IA in width;
No. 8, 800 feet BY 1874 in width !, The q st COW

an acre Of ground EACH Besides these thers
are smaller buildings, consp.e lous among whh
are the boiler house, gas house, with smoke
stacks 100 feet high. Arailroad trayerses the

use of theeperatives, and the probabilities ara
that when the mills get fully into operation,
around where, a few days ago, stood the old
milehouse, will cluster the largest, certainly the
busiest, part Of New Castle. The iron works,
however, are not the only improvements max
ing the growth of New Castle. The cotton
mill put up about tina time the railroad station
was changed from the wharf to the present
|'place, has lately been extended. and within
year or two large wooden mill, large steam
eEist mill, and an umbrella handle manufactorv
havs been addedto the other improvements 81 d
Industries Of the town. These mills give enr
ployment to great many people, who must lie
accommodated with houses, and the number
ofsmall tenements splineing up cause the old
residents to sigh and lament for the s'good old
daysH when they were not jostled by an sun
desirable populAtfon." The building Of a new
cDnH house, such an one as will comport with
| the~eslth and character Of the county, we
found Q favored topic among the frequenteTs OF
Court House Row, and improvement In this
respects doubtless needed, the present accom-
modAtions being quite limited. 1t is proposed,
when building the new court house, 70 provide
q covered passage way between the court house
and the jail, through which prisoners may be
conveyed without, as now, leading them
/ through the streets. The suggestion is a good
one and ought to bs acted upon.
