BEECHER THRILLS HIS CHURCH
. WITH AN ALLEGORY. D.

An immense throng attended the SER
vice at Plymouth Church yesterday morn
ing. Mr.. Beecher read, as the opening
lesson, the 9th chapter Of the Acts; be-
ginning with the 9th verse, with the
first five verses of chapter 28, being the
narrative of Paul's shipwreck on his
voyage to Rome. The three last verses
were read by Mr. Beecher with lowered
voice, very slowly, and with the most
pointed emphasis
"And when Paul had gathered bun
die of sticks, and laid them on the fire,
there came viper out of the heat and
fastened on his hand.
"And when the barbarians saw the
venomous beast hang on his hand, they
said among themselves, NO doubt, this
man is murderer, whom though he has
escaped the sea, yet vengeance sufereth
not to live.'
"And he shook off the beast" Gmitat-
ing the movement with his hand) "into
the fire and felt no harm" ~ .tl
AS Mr.. Becher read the last words his
voice dropped almost to whisper, and
a asensible thrill passed through the con-
gregation. f
The texts of the sermon were from
Hebrews, vii: "a, and Second Corin-
thians, "; 7-"For he endured, as seeing
him who is invisible;" "For we walk by
faith, and not by sight" The discourse
inculcated the necessity of men so train
ing their minds, that they shall live the
upper or spiritual part of their nature,
and be superior to all ordinary events
and troubles of life.-N. Y World, ill.,

cipal features of Herbert Spencer's Sociological
doctrine as set forth in his Social Statistics" fol
lowed by critical remarks on the method en-
ployed, and the general characteristics exhibited
in its development and exposition
The object of Among the Prophets" is to prove
that the system through which the Jewish Proph-
cts worked was, in the main, the same as that
which the modern dervishes employ" A descrip-
ton of the public worship of the dervishes which
consists of sacred songs, music and dances, is
given. and several pages are devoted to the poems
which explain their mystic doctrines
The Hindu Woman, real and ideal =" shows the
high estimation In which women were held
among the Hindus during the Vedic period, and
how, as the worship of Brahma gained ground,
they were gradually deprived Of their privileges
and placed lower in the social SCALE Some inter
esting letters from Hindu women of the present
time, describing their home life and occupations,
are introduced.
The frequent mention of "servia," in the pa
pers has called forth an article giving history
and description Of that country and its inhabi-
tants, and explaining the awkward position In
which 1t is placed at the present time.
The next article is description of the manner
in which business is transacted at the London
Stock Exchange, and of the means by which En-.
glish capitalists were induced to make foreign
loans to impecunious countries.

tory OF the laws elating TO ochurch,government in

HOW TO BECOMEA LAW WYER.

A day or two ago when a young man
entered Detroit lawyers Office to study
law, the practitioner sat down beside him,
and said:
"Now see here, l have no time to fool
away; and if you don't pan out well l
won't keep you thirty days. Doyou want
to make good lawyer ?"
"Yes, sir"
"Well, now, listen. Be polite to old
people, because they have cash. Be po-
lite to the boys because they are grow
ing up to cash basis. Work in with re-
porters and get puffs. Go to church for
the sake of example. Don't fool any time
away on poetry, and don't even look at
a girl until you can plead case. If you
can follow these instructions you will
succeed. Ifyou cannot, 60 and learn to
be a doctor and kill your best friends"

The Viscount de Civry, grandson of
the late Duke of Brunswick, has been
sentenced to two months Imprisonment
by a Paris court for obtaining money
under false pretenses and unlawfully
wearing the uniform of French officer.
He is the son of the Vicomtesse de Civ
ry, who, upon the ground that her moth
er was duly married to the Duke of
Brunswick, has instituted proceedings
against the Corporation of Geneva to re-
cover the sum left by the Duke to that
city. Her son appears to have antici
pated favorable decision of his moth
er's suit by profuse expenditure in Paris,
but the ofense especially imputed to
him was having taken part in the review
OF the French troops by Marshal Mac
Mahon last June. In order that he
might figure to advantage OH that occa-
sion he purchased horse on credit,
donned the uniform of an officer in the
French Chasseurs, and Joined the Mar
shaPs staff. When the vender of the
horse applied to him for payment, he
wrote him violent letter and challenged
him to mortal combat. The creditor
hoping perhaps to get something on ac-
count, accepted the challenge, but when
he repaired to the place of meeting, his
debtor and adversary was nowhere to be
found. He was, however, afterwards dis
covered by the police.
