The prayer meeting at the M. E.
Church, was held at $50 o'clock last
Sabbath, instead of the usual time
heretofore held, at Z o'clock. The

their strong, manly arm.

Last Sunday, there was great re.
joicing among the Roman Catholics Of
< onnrcticut, at the laying Of the
corner stone Of the projected grand
cathedral, at Hartford. There was
an immense crowd OF Irish and French
people. in attendance. Extra trains
were run nom ali promineat places in
that State, and also from towns in the
southern part Of Massachusetts. A
long procession was formed, which
consisted Of sixty RESTS, six bands
of music, and large number Of
Catholic benevolent societies; and as
they noieiIy marched through tie
principal streets, they presented an
imposing appearance. The cerem,-
nes Of laying the corner stone, were
conducted h. Archbishop Williams,
OF Boston; while discourse was
delivered by Bishop Laughlin, Of

use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT
est, surest, and best Of all the PITS with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the coTuptOnS of the sys-
TEN expelled distractions removed, and the
whole machinery Of life restored TO its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clOgged
and sluggish are cleansed by 1yel's Pills, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
is changed into health the value Of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues uHimpaired for any length of time, SO
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mlh, and oneraf
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet Or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Family ihyslc,
and for the following complaints, which these
PUis rapidly cure
For EBys,5epsiss or Entligestion, Eistless"
mess, MisIl@lIOF and EOss OF Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach and restore its healthy tone and action.
For liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick kaesast-
iOus Collie and bilious Fevers, they should
be judiciOusy taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it,
For EBysenteTy or EsiarrEOea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, SSOut, Gravel, k9af@
PitatiOB Of the Heart, Pain liza tIte
Side, Sach and EOiEss, they should be contin.
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DroTssy and HerOrsical sWelIings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression, large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
As a Dinner Pr, take one or two I'iUS to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorateS the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect ON the digestive
apparatus.

Il MODEL CHURCH.

Undoubtedly the most interesting
sacred organization in this country,
is the Church of the Holy Trinity,
Episcopalian, in New York City.
And its exemplary policy is eminently
worthy Of being followed by all
Churches. 1t proves how beneficial
the Christian religion can he made, in
the practical duties Of life. When
the Lord himself was in the world,
he cared for peoples bodies, as well
as for their souls. Thus, he conferred
both spiritual and physical good upon
them. Connected with Trinity Church,
Is the Andrew and Philip charitable
society, whose object is TO feed the
hungry, and provide clothing for such
men as are destitute. And already,
it has aided number of young men,
who are now actually engaged in the
duties Of the ministry. Under the
auspices Of this club, free dinner is
given to the poor, every Sunday after.
noon in the Churchs commodiors
basement. And as many as six hun
drcd unfortunate people have frequent
~ shared ia this meal.
Another benevolent society which
is termed the Martha and Mary
society, devotes its work exclusively
to penniless and suffering women.
And it has been the means of reljev-
ing vast amount of sorrow, and dis
tress. A number of physicians who
are members Of the Church freely
attend the exceedingly poor people
who are sick; and a generous drug
gist sels medicines TO them at cost
prices. Several times during the
week, alm0ners Of the two benevolent
societies visit certain pow erty-5tYicken
districts. And they make every pos
sib(e effort to help those who deserve
the comforts and provisions Of life.
1t is no wonder that the services at
Trinity Church are crowded, each
sabbath, by al, classes of people.
The religion which it teaches is not
merely shown forth in great sermons,
and fine music. But it is more cspe-
ciaily seen ia its Good Samaritan
method Of lifting up, and blessing the
o,HncT, the drunkard, the pauper, and
! the wanderer.
