But we are not to understand that by the
sacrifice of life which, as true men and women,
we are expected to make We must actually die
as the soldier dies on the field of bloody strife
or the martyr at the stake. There are moral
heroes to be found in all the walks of life
remember well-it was my first term in college
in the fall of 1885 when Garrison came out in

ginning, "A mob in Boston, hung be the

There are two reflections which follow patur-
ally from this subject. The first is that there
is a sublime consistency in the doctrine of the
atonement. If shepherd may, with con-
sIstency literally give his life for sheep, aud
be good because of his doing it. why may not
Christ consistently give his life for our race?
Inc second reflection Is that sublime motives

has exhibited their character appear those old
Jewish teachers referred to in the context, He

its high object the ph ysical, moral and spiritual

In the evening Rev. G. F. Penney of Augusta
preached the annual sermon, before the

Corinthians, ii, 1-5: "And /, brethren, when 1
came to you, came not with exeellency of

is due to the power of God and to the labors
and devices of men. A.

BASE BALL-The Resolute Base Ball CLUB
have at length finished their grounds on the
Presumpscot Trotting Park, and will play the
opening game next Thursday with the Chelsea
Club OF Chelsea, Mass, one of the best anna
teur clubs of that state. A good deal of inter-
est is manifested in this game from the fact
that "Steve Libby" the old and we'll known
first baseman of the Resolutes, is playing the
same position this year for the Chelsea S, and
there is considerable curiosity to see Steve play
against his old friends. The Resolutes have
been at large expense to fit up these grounds,
and they propose to give the lovers of the ina
tional game" an opportunity to see some of the
best clubs play during the season, and we hope
the boys will receive a rousing benefit in this
their grand opening game.

AUGUSTA GossIP-A correspondent of the
Bangor Wing says that it is intimated that
Hon. j. I. Woodward of Rochester, N Y,
will be appointed to the clerkship in the office
of Secretary of State, made vacant by the sud-
den discharge of Mr.. j. o. Smith by Secretary
Stacy. Mr.. Woodward has been in business in
Rochester three years, resigning the office of
State Librarian to go there to go into the seed
business He has not yet returned to the State
The object of Mr.. Woodward's return, the
same correspondent adds, is to be candidate
for Secretary of State. AS Mr.. w. will not be
voter in Maine next September, it is hardly
probable that he will think of this matter. 1t
is probably largely conjecture.

This company are driven with orders to their
utmost capacity, and even in lumber have had
orders to keep them busily employed. They
are now at work on an order for 1000 oil bar

made. The prospect is for increased orders,
and to establish permanent demand, as these
barrels are highly spoken of. The business is
larger in the aggregate than last year.

NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUs.-A large number
of friends met at the house of Mr. j. A. Ben
net, who resides on Middle street, last evening,
to witness the unfolding and closing of that
most wonderful flower, the Night Blooming
Cereus. Last year there was one blossom and
this year there are already two large buds and
several just peeping from the edge of the
leaves. The flower at short distance resem-
bles huge pond lily, being eleven inches in
diameter. Its leaves are of snowy whiteness,
the interior looks like the most beautiful frost
work. dotted all over with drops of gold. The
flower is most wonderful, and reminds us of
the shortness of life here. AS the sun sinks in
the western horizon the bud begins to open.
In about three hours you behold it in all its
beauty; fragrant aroma fills the room; at
twelve o'clock it begins to close its petals, and
at two o'clock a. M, it is folded in the embrace
of DEATH The flower is pendant from the edge
of the leaf, and connected with the stock in no
other way. This plant was brought from Cuba
some five years since by MIR. Bennett.
