RAILROAD CHANGE. We imagine that some
of our contemporaries have been publishing new
arrangements in running trains on the Centra
Vermont road, without much consultation with
the managers. There will probably be train
leaving White River junction in the morning
instead of Mortified as heretofore, and an ex
press train following the night express to Whit
River junction. All other trims will be likely
to run as usual in the summer. The Pullman
palace car lightning train from Boston t.
Chicago, leaving the former city at ten O'Clock
A. NJ, will probably DO run by outsiders and thu
newspaper men.

An Excellent sermon.

The purpose and experience OF Balaam a
lesson for those who may incline 70 confde too
much in their own integrity This subject has
been the theme of many practical dscourSes, as
it was Of one last sabbath, by Rev. Mr. Cope
land, Of Waterbury His text-Numbers, XXI
Is +" Il Balak would give me his house full Of
silver and gold, cannot 20 beyond the word OF
the Lord my God 10 do less or more, This strong
expression Of good purpose in the mind of the
Prophet might seem 70 warrant the hope that
he would not falter in his duty Balak had
sent messengers to Balaam to come to him and
curse people who had come out Of Egypt,
such multitude that Balak wished to drive
them out Of his land. But the Lord told BALKAN
not to 20 on such an errand that he ought not
curse them, for they were blessed. Balaam re-
fused to 90 with the first messengers But Balak
sent other princes more honorable, and with
more tempting inducements 10 BALKAN. " Let
nothing, pray thee, hinder thee from coming
unto me- On this second application Ba-
lam hesitated but finally went by permission
Of God, though not with his appreciation -
In his second application to Balaam, Balak
promises tn promote him to very great honor
and to do whatsoever thou sayest unto me. II
is possible that such promises induced the
prophet to 90 on this mission which God had
once before forbidden, but had now permitted
him, that he might learn by experience a lesson
that men-oven good men-ar permitted to dc
things not proper, and thereby experience the
evils Of wrong doing, that they may DO the
more thoroughly established in the right.
Though BALKAN was not permitted to curse
the lsraelites officially as prophet, as desired
by Balak, his subsequent history as given in
the 22d, 23d, eth, 25th and 3lst chapters oil
Numbers, shows that by his corrupting coun-
sells they were led into sin which brought
plague and destruction to thousands of them
Himself came to death by the sword of the Is
raelites. Ills confident boastng Of incorrupti-
bic integrity did not save him from the sin oil
corrupting Others How many like him com-
menced the career Of life trusting in their own
moral strength, and have miserably failed. A
sad lesson, not only for those in private, but in
public life But this is only the old story oil
mans deprayity, generally and individually. Il
