THE GREAT FIRE AT CRoNsTADT.-A ST.
Ie'efShuFg letter dated Nov. 5th saws Pne
great fire at CrOnstadt is stilI the GnisersaI
Topic OF conversation here. Cronstsdt, as every
oSdy KNOWS, IS on an island at the very mouth
OF tee river NeVa. How, therefore, a fire in
such place csn be allowed to spread 50 as 20
q. stroy the dwelling places of from 10 ,GO1 to
l2,OUO people puzzles many wise men here
The local paper, the Cronstadt BOten of to-
cay, gives The following details Nine squares
OF docks OF houses, including the GJ-tIuni
D"or, or Bazaar, have been completely de-
stoyed. The mass of houses thus laid in ashes
Was inhabited by $1,000 people. The buildings
consisted OF 10l wooden aud IS stone house,
ore church, two chapeis, fifty shops in the Cos
tiHni Dwor. and seventy light shops attached
TO the marine barracks. 1t will, perhaps. mot
appear so extraordinary that a Considerable
part OF Cronstadt has been destroyed BY fire
When II Is remem bered thst it has not vet been
supplied with any civilized system of water
WoIbs. People W ho require water in CronstRdt

Its shores, and rs such an oper alton can hardly

CHARAcrER.-We may judge mans
character by what he loves-what
pleases him. If a person manifests
delight in low, sordid objects, the
vulgar song and debasing language,
in the misfortunes of his fellows or
animals, we may at once determine
the complexion Of his character.
On the contrary, if he loves purity,
truth, modesty-if virtuous pur-
suits engage his heart and draw
out his afections-we are satisfied
that he is an upright man. When
we see a young man fond Of fine
clothes and making a fop of him
self: it is a sure sign that he thinks
the world consists of outside show
and ostentation, and be is certain
to make an unstable man, without
true affection or friendship, fond
of change and excitement and
wearying Of those objects and pur'
suits, which for a time, give hin
pleasure.
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1874-07-29

About one or two o'clock she
heard steps outside, and knew that
the other burglars were near, but
her stout heart never quailed. She
trusted in the bars and bolts, and
they did not betray her.
The daylight found her sitting
quietly beside her wounded burglar,
and the milkman, bright and early,
was the ambassador who summoned
the officers of justice.
When the bridal party returned
next day the house was neat and
tidy, and Maggie, in her best alpaca,
told the news in laconic fashion.
Frightened" she said, in an
swer to the sympathetic calculations
Of her new mistress. Enlightened!
Oh, no! Fear wasn't born in me"

Be IN EARNEsT.-The grand Sc
cret of success whether asa private
teacher or public speaker, is to
be in earnest. To an orator Q
good voice is a gift to be commend
ed, and appropriate gestures are
at all times faithful adjuncts.-
Polished periods and smooth grace
ful manner please the head; but
to win the heart, be in earnest. AS
a general rule, let one feel what he
says, and he will be very apt to
say it in such manner that those
who hear him will feel it. This
is what renders him effective. He
carries the impression that he is
honest; realizing that perishing
souls are around him, he speaks
as one who sees, as one who knows,
as one who feels. This renders
mary man eloquent who never
went through college. To effect
anything resolve to be in earnest.
Then may you hope that your la
Dor will be crowned with success; ;
then may you hope to see a
mighty reformation through the
land; then scores Of sinful trem-
bling souls, through the influence
ofthe earnest worker, will be gath
cred into the kingdom.

LONGING FOR AFFEcT1oS.-Lo7e is

LONGING FOB AFFEcT1oN.-Love is
the deepest attribute of humanity :;
the desire for its kindly ministerings
is stronger than any other desire
we know. Said Charlotte Bronte
once, and very truly:
"Howe7er old, humble, desolate,
or afflicted We may be, so long as
our hearts possess the feeblest
spark of life, they preserve also,
shivering near that pale ember, q
starved, ghostly longing for appre
ciaticn and affection. To this at,
tenuated spectre perhaps a crumt
is not thrown once year; but when
ahungered and athirst to famine
when all humanity has forgotten
the dying tenant Of a decayine
house-divine mercy remembers the
mourner. and a shower Of mama
falls for lips that earthly nutriment
is to pass no more. Biblical prom
ises, heard first in health, but then
unheeded, come whispering to the
couch of sickness; it is said that q
pitying God watches what al man
kind have forsaken; The tender
compassion of Jesus is felt and re
Lied on; and the fading eye, gazing
beyond time, sees a home, friend:
a refuge, in eternity.

a correspondent of the Richmond

A correspondent ofthe Richmond
Enquirer tells the following respect
ing aBaptistpreacher Of ofstrong COM
mon sense, but very rough-hewn
theology, who was widely known
and much liked and respected il
Southside, Virginia, many years
ago. The old parson was preaching
very earnestly about the certainty
and the terrible nature and degree
Of the lniseries of the damned, and
when he had succeeded in working
up himself and his awe-struck audi
tory into a high degree Of excite
ment, and the latter into terrified
admiration of his narrowing details
of horrors, he capped the climax
after this fashion: my friends you
all know Major Clarke's furnace;
you have seen it often, how the
hite,hot Goals just melt up iron
thrown into it like as if it was snow.
Well, if you tooka sinner out Of he'll
and threw him into Major Clarke's
furnace, he'd have an ague in two
minutes"

GooD MANNERS. Every household

GOOD MANNERS. household
should cultivate good manners.
They are indispensable even to the
young. A churlish, rude deport-
ment bespeaks a low, unfeeling mind;
no position, wealth or education,
can make amends fori Goodman
ners are attractive and winning {:
they should be carefully observed
in every family circle. Parents
should never indulge, themselves,
in careless manner or coarse Ian
guage, much less to their chrildren
or domestics. The feelings Of
those in inferior stations should be
regarded as well as those Of the
highest. The smile, the pleasant
tone, and the courteous bow, is
quite as highly appreciated at
home as abroad. If we wish q
free and easy code Of manners,
we must cultivate them at home,
by being courteous and polite to
those who surround US, and we
will not only add to the happiness
of those we love, but be at ease
in society. Teach your children
that good breeding includes civ
ility to ALT at a well-bred
child is Immediately singled out
by an observing eye, regardless Of
dress or family position. A frank
and modest department wins con-
idence and friends, and by kind
and delicate attention to the Trailer
sex and chivalrous protection to
the helpless, We add luster and
greatness to our character.

TREASURES IN HEAvEN.-We read
of q philosopher, who, passing
through mart filed with articles
of taste and luxury, made himself
quite happy with his simple yet
sage reflection: ''How many things
there are here, that I do not want!"
Now, this is just the reflection with
which the earnest believer passes
happily through the world. It is
richly furnished with what are call
ed good things.
It has spots Of honor and power
to tempt the restless aspirings
of ambition of every grade. II
has gold and gems, houses and
and lands, for the covetous os
tentatious. It has innumerable
bowers OF taste and luxury, where
self-indulgence may revel. But the
