Children's sunday.

Chfdren's Sunday was observed BY the VIM
throp Street Universalist parish yesterday. A
beautiful day favored the occasion. The church
was adorned with flowers and evergreen, present
ing very beautiful appearance. Vases and clus-
tiers of flowers tastefuly arranged adorned the
platform. In front of the desk was white dove,
beneath which was harp whose strings looked
out from profusion of roses. Upon the walls
on either side Of the platform were suspended
anchors, pictures of floral beauty. Singing birds
in their cages around the church made sweet
music. A sermon ful Of sound advice in relation
to the education Of the young was delivered by
Rev. Miss Haynes Of Hallowell, after which the
rite of baptism was administered by her to some
Of the children of the parish. A large audience
was in attendance during the service. In the
evening floral concert was given by the Sunday
school, in which the christian character was illus
tratcd by flowers as symbols, by passages Of
Scripture, and by selections from our poets.
Thirteen young ladies dressed in white, speaking
and singing their parts admirably around an arch
trimmed with evergreen and flowers, made this a
very attractive entertainment. There was also
excellent music by the choir and school. The
house was crowded with the friends Of the school
and spectators, who were highly pleased with the
concert.

VALPARAISO NEWS.
Particulars Of the Recent Great
Storm.
Probably a Hundred Lives Lost.

New York, July 10. Gillian papers give the
following account of the great storm at Valpa-
raise:
The Esmeralda, which was driven on shore has
been gotten off and is now in one of the docks
All the cadets on board we're saved.
During the storm an immense iron buoy was
thrown by the sea on the mole of Don Pacifico
Alvarez, and that at such height to appear in
credible. Nothing could withstand the awful sea.
Boats were knocked about and upset like cookie
| shells. The Brazilian man-of-war Uldirrer did
not get up steam in time, broke from her moor
ings and drove down upon the men-of-war Tha-
labra and Esmei aida, causing great damage to
both vessels The Esmeralda threatened to up
set, her chains were let go and after drifting about
and damaging several other vessels was finally
| run ashore. The officers and crew of the packet
steamer Limena saved msny lives with their life
boats.
The West Coast Mail says that the loss of life
was greater than on any previous occasion in
which several northers prevailed and it is painful
to say that the large sacrifice is owing to want
| of life saving apparatus and to the absence of
those exertions the part of others, of which a
noble example was afforded by the brave men of
| the steamer Limena. From all we are able to
collect from the most trustworthy sources, feel
Justified in saying that 40 boys belonging to the
| training ship were drowned and between 20 and
80 sailors and from Is to 20 boamen, exclusive of
| 8 persons who went down with the unfortunate
| Eyerie.
NO correct estlmatc OF the loss OF proper ly mas
been arrived at, but what with the stranding of
vessels, the sinking of hulks, the damage to ves-
sells, the destruction Of lighters and boats the lat
ter two probably exceeding 100 in numbcr) and
the destruction of other property afoat, not emu
merated, the amount must be very heavy. In adj
diton to the loss afoat there remains to be added
| the damage to the railway, the tracks of which
have heavily suffered from the Bellanista station
to the Exchange. 1t is proposed to fill in with
stones before re.laying the rails, which in some
places were carried by the force Of the water a

A gentleman in Wiscasset makes the statement
that the tender poem which many of our
readers have doubtless read and greatly
admired, entitled "The Old Blue Coat" was written
by the late Rt. Rev. George Burgess, first Bishop
of this State, in the year 1864, and printed in
volume of his poems published in 1868. 1t was
the result of the following incident. The Bishop
was walking with his little daughter in Gardiner,
his place of residence, and meetings common sol
der, wearing the blue coat so often seen in our
streets ten years ago, he bowed with all the cour-
tesy he could have shown to one who had been
highest in command. His little girl, whom he held
by the hand, said, Papa, why did you bow to that
man whom You never met before :" Tie good
Bishop replied in almost the words Of the first
verse of the poem. because am glad and proud
to honor one who wears the blue coat which shows
how he has served his country" From this tri-
VIAL and apparently, unpoetic incident flowed the
words of the song.
