One by One.
They are gathering homeward from every land,
One by one;
Az their weary Feet touch the shining strand
One by one;
Thtir brows are clothed in golden crown,
Their travel-slained garments are all laid down,
And clohcdNth white raiment they rest on the mcl'
Where the Lamb ever loveth bis chosen To lead
One by one.
Before they rest they pass through the strife
One by one;
Through the waters Of death they enter life
One by one;
To some arc the floods Of the river still,
As they ford their way to the heavenly hill;
To others the run hercely wild,
Yet all reach the home of the undeGled
One by one.
We too shall come to the river side,
One by one;
We are nearer it's waters each eventidc,
One by one;
We can hear the noise and dash Of the stream,
Now and again through our LIES deep dream;
Sometimes TIE floods DER the banks overflow,
Sometimes in rippes the small waves g.,
One by one.
Jesus, Redeemer we look to thee,
One by one
We lift up our voices iremblngly,
One by one;
The waves Of the river dark and cold,
We know not the spots where feet may hold;
Thou who didst pass through in deep midnight,
Strengthen us, send the stafI and the light,
One by one.
Plant thou thy feet beside us as we tread
One by one;
On thee let us lean each dropping head,
One by one;
Let thy mighty arm round us be twined,
Wen cast all our fears and cares to the wind.
Saviour Redeemer! with thee full in view,
smingly, gladsomely shall we pass through,
One by one.

RowDYISM AT IlIBBY's CORNER. For long
time the peaceful inhabitants of Libby's Cor
ner have been annoyed at day by groups of
loafers who frequent the resort of that class,
and at night by hideous yells. k nown in the vi
cinity as the ''L5by town howl" OF late, not
being molested BY those whose duty it is to pro.
tect the public peace, they have taken a new
departure, and indulged in several acts that
merited the sternest reproof Not being con-
tented with cutting ropes upon teams left in
stable yards over night, pulling down fences,
unhangiDg gates, an occasional incursion into
the more remote country and there taking
down shop signs. ard wetiag their throats with
Sunday rum, a few nights ago they went to
dwelling house where church social circle was
being held, took down the clothes line and
woye perfect net work around the gates and
doors, so that when the gathering broke up and
started for home several became entangled, and
one lady was thrown violently upon the ground.
The parties indulging in these wanton acts are
well known, and 1T is hoped they will be over
taken by swift justice. ~

A TEST CASE.-Some tine last week two
girls came to this city from Montreal over the
Grand Trunk road. They were in destitute
condition and at once applied to the Overseers
OF the Poor for assistance. On Saturday the
chairman of the Board sent them to the Grand
Trunk depot with request that they be taken
back TO Montreal. The officials refused to
take them on the train and they returned to
the Overseers. Yesterday they were again sent
and again refused passage over the road. As
cases of this kind are of frequent occurrence,
the city proposes to bring suit against the
Grand Trunk and test the constitutionalty Of
the law requiring railroad and steamboat COM
panies to remove beyond the state paupers
whom they have brought into it,

Copgress Stree, Lecture Cour..

The second lecture in the Congress street NJ.
E. Church course was delivered last evening
by Prof. Lummis of Massachusetts. Despite
tho STORM the church was well filled with an
attentive audience. The speaker has a fine
voice and is quito an interesting speaker. He
has great faculty for holding the attention of
his audience, and no one would tire of him, al.
though he spoke in very moderate manner.
His subject last evening was 1.-THE Deluge of
Noah"
There is great difficulty in transmitting facts
through period covering hundred genera
tions. 1t is entirely proper to submit record
protesting to go back 1000 years to rigid scru-
tiny. This is really made by few. For the
many science and history are allie matters of
faith. Herscbeps moons of Uranus, and Israers
exodus from Egypt are on the same footing in
the popular mind. Was the flood of Noah uni
versal? The ark huge covered scow, not a
rugged vessel. Estimated by those who give it
the largest size at $40 feet long, 80 broad and
"a high. The Great Eastern 691 feet long, 83
wide and IS high. The ark not capacious
enough to hold all the animals. Once sup.
posed so. The advancement of science has
overthrown the supposition. How could food
be supplied suited TO all, even supposing all ex-
sting animals gathered in the ark? Amount
of work to be done to feed all. Whence could
water come to cover the highest mountains?
Stupendous evaporation assumed. The proper
reply to all these difficulties is that the deluge
was not over all the earth. 1t simply swept
away the guilty race Geological evidence that
the ood did not cover the earth is found in the
vol anic cones of Auxergne and Languedoc.
The mar tive of the deluge written in pop
ular, not scientific language. The terms used
are such as seem to imply universally, when in
tact they only are strong terms to express vid-
the same in all their writings. Isaac Newton
spoke Of sunrise and sunset, William Scores
BY of the whale fisheries, Wordsworth of the
fruit-all right popularly-not right scientif-
cally Science may correct history, but history
supplements science.
