A SHORT SERMON TO MY STUDENTS.

OnOhA ohhmOCN AO M OAODhNAo'
 You are the architects of your own for tunes; rely upon your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star, indus try, self-realiance, faith and honesty, and inscribe on your banner, Luck is fool, pluck is hero. Earnest effort in one d. rection is the surest road to wealth and high position; diligence and stick-to-it-ness is the winning hand. Don't take too much advice, keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take fair share of the work. Don't practise too much humil- itY, think well of yourself-strike out-as- sume your position. It is the jostlings and joltings of life that bring great men to the surface; put potatoes in cart over rough road, and small potatoes go to the bottom. turn raft of logs down mill race, and the large logs come on top. Rise above the envious and jealous. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible de termination, with right motive, are the levers that move the world. Don't drink Don't chew. Don't smoke. Don't swear Don't deceive. Don't read novels. Be II earnest. Be selt-reliant. Be generous there are two sides to every balance, anC favors thrown in one side of the scales art sure to be reciprocated in the other. Bt kind. Be civil. It is foolish man who does not understand that molasses will catch more flies than vinegar. Read tho papers-theY are the great educators of tn, people. Advertise your business. KeeI your own counscls and superintend you own business. Make money, and do goot with it. Love your God and fellowman Love truth and virtue. Love your country and obey the laws.

Falls Village.

On Saturday evening last MT. McCarty delivered temperance lecture in the Citi- zens Hall to large and attentive audience, the majority of whom were Irish citizens and their descendants, the lecturer being an Irishman by birth. His discourse was in- tended for the good of his fellow country men. In eloquent words and pathetic tone he portrayed the evils of intemperance and it's consequences, and exhorted them in the name of Jehovah to eschew strong drink, come and join the temperance lodge, and at once sign the pledge, and pointed out what great blessings to themselves, their wlves and families would attend them. His appeal, am glad to say. was not in vain for number of them came forward and signed the pledge, to the satisfaction of the lecturer, whose excellent address was often interrupted with hearty applause, and will add, would that some of our young men with no Celtic blood in their veins could be induced to follow their example, for on the same night at 12 o'clock they sallied forth from their rendezvous, patroll- ed the railroad, singing songs, whistling and making other sweet sounds to Hull the weary to sleep, and finally brought up at the house of good neighbor, at ? o'clock Sunday morning, commencing the exercises of the day by carrying off his garden gate. MT. s. has offered ten dollars reward for evidence to convict and punish the dis turbers of the public peace, and although many are satisfied in their own minds who the transgressors are, still it is in doubt if sufficient tvidence can be obtained to bring them to that punishment they so richly de- serve.

DEFERRED DIVIDENDS.

THE COOK COUNTY NATIONAL. HANK.
Tic creditors Of the Cook County National
Dnl.k will be disappointed to learn TINT they
canmot, for the present Mt least, receive the
dividend Of 10 per cent from the bankrupt's cs-
tate. This delay is caused by an injunction
granted yesterday by Judge Drummonl against
A. II. Dur1cy, Receiver Of the Cook County
Bank, at the instance Of the Charter Oak Life In
eurancc Company OF Hartford, Conn. The COM
rlainant states that on the sth day Of February,
1b55 It became the owner Of claim for
s69, ,035. .43 with interest agninat the bank. This
clatm Was assigned to It by Allen, Stephens 4
Co., u New York, and was for n balauce due
THEM by the bark. The complainant allegea
50 as 10 share III my dividends TINT may 10
nadc, but TINT the Receiver utterly refuses to
recognize the validity Of the cln[tn, or pay the
dividend Of 10 per cent which he has declared
on all tho other debts ut the bank. II this
claim be allowed the bank will not DO able to
pay more tlan S per cent dividend. The COM
Plalnant tlercfore naked that al Injunction be
issued aEaust tho Recelyer to prevent him from
paving any dividend until this sun. has bccn
allowed rs valid debt against tho bank.
THE INJUNCTION GRANTED. .
An application WIS ut once nnde to Judge
Drl,nlu!ond for an Injunction, Atcesrs. Lyman
and jackson, Of this city, and Mr. II. Cardozo,

After q statement Of the facts by
Mr. Cnrdozo, Mr.. Monroe said that
II the allegations Of thu bill wcrn true he s,,I-
posed the Injunction ought 10 issnc, but ttlnt
the validity Of the debt was disputed. Judge
Druulnlonu gave the defendants counsel tho
option Of either paying the complainant Its pcr-
centagc With tho other conditions or having the
Injunction ISSUE Tito Inter alternative was
chosen, and temporary injunction was allow
cd. with leave to defendants to mike any npplf-
cutton for ltB dissolution.
u. r. Allen, former President Of the Cook
County National Bank, as Is well known, was q
partner with Allen, Stephens d Co., ard this
debt was incurred while such partner and while
the Cook County Bank was running. Its
validity Is contested, aud there will probably be
q sharp eight over the matter. The result Will
be to delay the judgment Of any dividend
indefinitely, ns the present suit Which will Ill
voyc the legality OF this large debt must be
first decided, which may not be for some
months.
A reporter yesterday sought out
MA. nURLEf,
and asked hin, concerning the clatla, and, In
especial, why he had refused to allow It. In
reply, Mr. Blrlev said that he expected to show
ar Offset Of fully $BD0, ,000 against tho 563D,O0O
claimed, and for Tint reason lad refused to ad-
nit the claim. Further, he repeated that he
would not allow 1t unless by direct order of
