The November Elections.
VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, November 3. Additional re-
turns received on the debt question. The
opponents of the McCuloch bill of comprom-
Use claim small majority in each house.
As to all other matters, the two wings of
the conservatives are tolerably evenly divid-
ed, the "a republican members holding the
balance power, and are probably in a position
to dictate terms. The indications are that
they will plan to name a senator in return for
supporting one or the other wing as to State
officers or Judges.

Postal Matters.

A postal regulation, which has been in
force several months, appears to be very little
known. An unreceipted bill or statement OF
account can now be mailed in an unsealed
envelope at a postage of one cent. To re-
ceipt bill or write upon it any such words
as "Please remit" will, however, subject it
to letter rates. But request for remit
lance may be printed as a part of the head
ing. Newspaper publishers may enclose
with their papers either receipted or unre-
ceipted bills, but in addition any written
request will be treated as an Infringement on
the law.

Sermon of the Unitarian Pastor.

Yesterday forenoon the Rev Philip 5.
TEACHER preached his first sermon as pastor
of the Unitarian society. Services were held
at the Congregational vestry, where the So
ciety has worshpcd during the erection of the
new building, but ere many weeks more have
passed they will be occupying their own new
and beautiful church. Mr.. Thatcher took for
his text the words Speaking the truth in
love-" from Ephcsians ": 10. His sermon
was an interesting one and especially so to the
members of the church, as he took occasion
to express his ideas as to what minister
should be, and what feelings should prevail
in the society.
He said: Speaking the truth" does not
always win the regard of Others nor secure
mans own peace. But, it is pitable thing
for man to aspire to speak the truth and
then complain in astonishment that truth has
not crowns to give but thorns. A true man
will give uttcrancc to his honest thought, and
will not be deferred by the shout of ndigna-
ton. You can tell when a man utters his ex-
perience. Style betrays him as well AS the
eyes. Unless he has firm grasp of what he
afiirms, he will by many words try to suggest
What he cannot make clear. A true preacher
does not use crcumlocution, but goes down
to the root of what men mean. When he puts
his whole soul into his work he is sure to ac
complish something. But he cannot give
kinding in whose own inward life there Is no
live coal but all is burnt out to a dead cinder.
A mechanical talker can be made out of wood
or iron True preachers like poets are torn
not made They are artists not of forms and
matter but of the soul. Instead of reminding
people of mustiness, they are full OF
the fresh new thought of to-day. But their
work will be in vain, unless their hands are
held up by the people. 1t is not the efforts
of the brilliant that feed the fires of goodness.
but the unnoticed heroism of Christian men
ard women. Our religion is worth teaching
to Others Without trying to grind others to
our opinions and modes of thought, speak the
truth in love. To this work let our lives be
consecrated, until the black clouds of bigo,ry
and superstition are dispersed by the full eff
fulgence of the diyinely Predicted day, ''when
righteousness shall cover the earth as the
waters cover the deep" Will this future
ever come. We may almost doubt when we
see the terrible shadows on religion. But
the future will come. shall not suspend
my JOY until the consummatiOn. For, as !
can find matter for JOY in the past by faith in
history, so | can find matter for JOY in the
future by faith in humanity. There may be
many dark days to be passed through, but let
those of a more melancholy temperament
dwell upon them. | shall encourage my
hopes by listening to the slvery sounds of
that trumpet which even now seem 10 come
floating on the distant breeze "llalleluj ah,
the Lord God omnipOtcnt reigns."

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

\ poor man and his wife lived in
the north of Ireland on a bit of
farm SD small that 1t did not afford
them living, apdthey ran behind
on the rent. They felt very uneasy
and despoudent about tie debt.
One Sabbath morning the wife de-
clared her intention Of going to
meeting. J'erhaps the minister
would have a word of comfort for
her. But she came home more cast
down than ever.
"What's the matter ? Had the
minister no good word for ye to-
day ? asked the husband.
"Ah, no, " replied she. lie held
me up before the whole congregs-
ton. What do ye think he took for
his text, man ? Why this "If We
don't pay the rent, ye shall all leave
the parish :"
"There's no such text in the
Bible" said the husband.
"'Deed then, there is I saw
him read it out of the book with
my own two eyes"
The husband was incredulous,
and took the first oppOrtunity IN
ask one of his neighbors, who had
been to the service about the mat
ter.
"WIll ye tell me what the minis
ter took for his text the Sabbath
morn ?" said he.
"The text ? l mind it we'll !"
said the neighbor. Except ye re-
pent, ye shall all likewise perish"

CASE OF QUICKENED Con
sCIENCE.-A remarkable case of a
deed of exceptional cruelty to an an
imal is reported from Denmark. 4
family well known in Copenhagen
had long been in the habit of pass
ing their Sundays in one of the
parks near the city, taking with
them a son seven years old. A few
Sundays ago the little fellow, unno-
ticed by his parents, discovered an
unusually large toad, and amused
himself by torturing it in various
ways, finally plunged a sharp stick
through its body, and so fastening
it to the ground. The next Sunday
the family again visited the park,
and the boy, remembering mis- sport
Of the previous week, went in search
of more toads. lie found the ami
NAL he had so cruelty used still
pinned to tie ground, and still alive.
As he approached the poor thing
looked at HIM, its immense eyes dis
tended with pain and suffering.
The child was terror stricken at the
sight, and ran crying to his mother
to tell her what he had done. be
was taken to his home IN a great
state Of excitement and put to bed,
where he remained for three days in
a burning fever, which ended in his
death. Just before he died he de-
clared that wherever he looked he
saw the pleading eyes of the poor
toad, and begged TO have it taken
away.
