given to church and school buildings,
and the payment of the French Theolog-
ical Professor, requires for the current
year $4,000. To this add $500 for
the school property transferred to us by
the French Canadian Missionary Society
and you have q sum which it requires
much faith to look for but which think
the Church will not refuse to give. The
Board may well ask for this sum hope
fully, when they can say: Forty-fve
years ago there was scarcely French
Canadian Protestant to be found in the
whole country to-day thousands of men
and women can be found who have re-
nounced their allegiance to Rome, many
of whom have by Gods grace, become
humble followers Of Jesus Forty-fve
years ago there was not solitary French
Protestant congregation in the land to-
day they can be numbered by the score.
Forty-fve years ago the Bible was vir-
tually an unknown book in almost every
French parish in the Province of Quebec (;
to-day there are few parishes in which
the Bible cannot be found-few parishes
which have not, to a greater or less ex-
tent, felt the influence of Bible truth.
So recently as ten years ago it was diff
cult to gather together congregation of
25 or 80 French Protestants in the city
of Montreal; to-day there are in that
city five regularly organized French Pro-
testant churches, two Of which are under
the care of the Board-one of these num-
bering 100 French families
The work, in which l trust the few
statements just made will interest your
readers, is but in its infancy Romanism
is working its own destruction in Quebec.
Even the worm will turn under the heel
that brushes it. The people are feeling
after light and liberty Even the priests
are restless. On one day last year, no
less than four eeclesiastics called at the
office of our Board for counsel. Those
who live to see the Goth century will see
l do not say Protestant French Canada
for Rome dies hard, but strong, ac-
tive, progressive, missionary French Pro-
testantism, the fruit of past and present
effort. R. D. F.

The shameful traffic with diplomas of in
corporated American institutions of learn
ing would still go on unmolested as it
has for years, if the German authorities
had not forced the American government
to put stop to it,
The Doctor has nothing to fear from
the German immigrant in this country.
The German descendants of Pennsylvania
and the Valley of Virginia prove it. But
l am very much afraid that Virginia and
the South will suffer from its representa-.
tive men of the type of DR.. Dabney, who
insist upon disappearing it. If his
letter is read abroad, especially his con-
Guiding remarks, emigrants will very
carefully avoid Virginia, and look for
homes where they are more appreciated
and find heartier welcome.

Nothing to Do.

Nothing to do" in this world of ours,
Where weeds spring up with the fairest flower,
Where smiles have only fitful play,
Where hearts are breaking every day?
" Nothing to do 2" thou Christian soul,
Wrapping thee round in thy selfish stole,
Of with the garments of sloth and sin;
Christ thy Lord hath kingdom to win.
" Nothing to do2" there are prayers to lay
On the altar of incense day by day;
There are foes to meet within and without;
There is error to conquer, strong and stout
Nothing to do?" there are minds to teach,
The simplest forms of Christian speech;
There are hearts to lure with loving vile
From the grimmest haunts of sins de6le
" Nothing to do?" there are lambs to feed,
The precious hope of the church's need
Strength to be borne to the weak and faint,
Vigils to keep with the doubling saint.
Nothing to do?" there are heights to attain
Where Christ is TRANSPORTED yet again,
Where earth will fade in the vision sweet
And the soul press on with winged feet.
Nothing to do2" and thy Saviour said
" Follow thou me in the path tread"
Lord lend thy help the journey through
Lest faint we cry, 60 So much to do"

Heart work must be Gods work. Only

was done with money actually belonging 10
other purposes, which not being Immediately
needed was used in that way Ii order to save
as much interest as possibie--and this was
excellent management. But that very debt
had TO be re-created rs soon a. the money was
demanded for its proper nse, aud Il is the
same old debt still. Very likely the same
process may be repeated when taxes are paid
into the treasury, aud with the same result
when they are needed for the purposes for
which they were assessed.
Well, then the question may be asked By
some, why did not the Council levy an ASSESS
ment that would mako that debt stay paid,
instead of making the present reduction In
taxes. Because they bad no legal right to do
so-all municipal assessments being limited
to three-quarters of one per cent. The recent
reduction came out of the other half of the
tax levy.
A few lines in conclusion, as to that patent,
double-barreled, double-action, double-twist-
ed plan Of keeping the poor and the streets to-
gether 1t is difficult to answer, not because it's
overpowering merits are apparent, but because
one who likes to be fair win always hesitate to
condemn what he does not understand, aud
do not understand this. Il Is sufficient to say
that it disproves nothing. Whatever might
I'VE been its original merits land / do net
desire to speak sllghtingly of it) it is thing
OF the past, being proposed, but not accepted
three years ago | and as the offer ID not renew
ed now, its merits are exactly those of last
years birds pest--there is nothing in it.
One thing do see, that to macadamize q
strip only twenty feet wide right mp the mid
die of street. leaving the rest Of 1t, includ-
is exactly one Of those pieces Of "patch-
work which the proposer has so Justify con-
demned. Whilst man had better patch his
coat until he can afford new one, when he
does get nsw one he wants whole one !;
and when our City does macadamise or pave,
we want better job than that would make.

DIAMoNDs.--When we speak of diamonds
it is 10 associate with the word the rich as
sortment of gems we have been admiring at
Bailey, Banks 8 Biddle's, Philadelphia. Both
in single stones, whether mounted or un-
mounted, and in matched ones they have a
wealth of the most perfect gems ever brought
to this country. The popularity of this
house and the reliance of diamond buyers on
its Judgment are important elements in the
present great demand for the most perfect
precious stones. Mr.. Bailey, whose expert
ence as purchaser of diamonds is not ex-
celled by anybody, is now in Europe making
selections for next seasons business. He is
already sending home superior gems from
London and Amsterdam. We noticed at
Bailey, Banks g. Bid6ie's some new and beau
tiful styles of mouutings, which show the
briIliancy of the stones with superior adyan-
tage. All who have dealt with this house
know the rules in regard to prices. "The
best and purest gems at the lowest possible
price" will be found tie invariable practice.

CATHOLIC CHURCH IN New HoPE-The
Catholics of New Hope and vicinity have now
fully decided to build church. Permission
has been granted. On Tuesday Of last week,
Arch Bishop Wood, aud his Secretary, Faith
or Brennan, were in New Hope viewing sites
for the purpose. The Arch Bishop spent about
an hours time at the residence of Mr.. Owen
Markey. He is quite stout, well advanced in
years and wears eyeglasses. He signjied
his intention to be present and ofiiciats when
the time comes for the laying of the corner
stone of the new building. Parties who have
been around with subscription paper report
81, 600 subscribed. 1t is designed to make
the building quite large and build 1t in becom-
ing style. Work will soon be commenced, it
is confidently asserted.
Mr.. Thomas Corners, of Limeport, Pa,
conveyed the visitors to and from the depot
and around town in his easy carriage.
To have an Arch Bishop to visit New Hope
was considered by the Catholics to be dis
tinguished honor, and had the effect to draw
quite large gathering about Mr.. Markey's
residence of both those who were simply cur
ious as well as those who desired particularly
! to do reverence to their high church official.

MOUNT A1RY. N. J.. Ano.l7 1ss

mOUNT hlhf3 .iJ.t AUG. 1881.
We are Informed that the Beacon again
last week belched forth its nastiness over the
signature of Rusty Cuss,', and purporting
to come from Oak Dale.
Now it seems to be the Bedcon's forte to
SANDER aud belle people under a fictitious
name, by locating the writer out in the coun-
try, when in fact, Rusty Cuss" and the
whole cussed nest are rats of Lambertyile,
fed on Good Authority, = /" Ponto, and his
clan. The Beacon tried hard to raise SEN
sation about new bridge near Mount Airy
Station, in Delaware tsp. Its good authority
(Ponto) said he could repair the old bridge
for one hundred dollars, and after he learned
that it would require about one hundred dol
lars worth of lumber, then he said he could
have repaired it for two hundred. Now the
facts of the matter are he knew nothing about
the old bridge, and he knows still less about
repairing or bp tdiDg new ones, Besides he
has everybody's business to look after and no
time to bother with bridges. The Board of
Freeholders met at the bridge, examined the
work and fully endorsed it, and ordered the
committee to finish it and put on heavy stone
coping.
We, like many others in this vicinity, 30 not
take the Beacon, having long since concluded
that we could live comfortably without it.
and -ofcourse hsve not seen the last splash of
mud, but From what we have CLEANED, we are
ready ~ agree that the Beacon should be en-
titie.d to leather diploma as 1rst-class liar
and don't care whether it wears patch over
its big toe or not, and this seems to be the
public opinion generally, so far as we have
heard people talk. Rusty Cuss, y no doubt,
felt snubbed because he was not invited to
accompany the picnic to Oak Dale, but he
ought to have better sense. Ladies and gen.
tlemen have right to choose their company.
Now be charges that those foul reports pub
lished in the Beacon, came from Mr.. Muir
held and family. Mr.. NJ. will probably put
the thing in legal shape, aud then we will see
how much g Rusty Cnss y lives at Oak Dale
Again Rusty Cuss's . flourish about Uncle
Billy and Ponto's bet is another fair sample
of his truthfulness. Tt was just oice versc
Uncle Bill had the stamps and spunk, and
Ponto had neither. As a squelcher and fin
ishing touch, 9 Rusty Cuas," we are told,
recommends us to take French bath, and
prescribes an enormous amount of soap, &c.
Poor fool, be don't know that our buds are
all paid for, and that we are not compelled to
walk around the corner of Bridge and Main

sinned and did amiss, and we never claimed
to be an angel. neither have we eyer claimed

SCHOOL MATTERS. 1.-The NeDtown Enter
prise says Supt. Woodruff closed his an
nual examinations of teachers some time
since, having examined 2S4 applicants, and
granted 236 certificates. There are about 20
teachers with Normal diplomas, 40 with pro-
fessional certificates and few with permsn-
ent certificates, making about three hundred
in all for the 2S6 schools of the county. This
leaves but narrow margin as some who
were examined will not teach, and others
have found more remunerative employment,
or are teaching in other counties.

from Cherryville to Stanton Station. 1t
crosses the Branch about II miles above the

distance of another bridge further up the
Branch. The Surveyors of Highways laid
the road, and the Court confirmed it, as we
understand 1t, no.oaveat having been fled in

THO OF BUReLAR1Es IN TITusvILLE.-
On Saturday morning the denizens1 of the
quiet village of Titusyille discovered that
during the previous night three burglafies
had been committed in their midst. The
"knights of the jimmy" who are bungling
amateurs at the nefarious business, forced an
entrance into Alfred W. Smiths store, where
they helped themselves literally to tea, coffee,
shoes and q small sum of money. George
Agnew's grist mill was also entered and rob-
bed of quantity of -four aud a few pennies
which had been left in the drawer. The
third place visited by the nocturnal rogues
was G. II. Swift's hotel. where Smith s.
Wesson revolver, a silk fish line, q lot of ci-
gars and some small change were stolen
This is the third time in the past three years
that Smiths store has been robbed by bur-
glars, the two previous occasions being in the
month ofseptember Agnew's mill was also
robbed last September at the same time
Smiths store was entered. There seems to
be no doubt that the same thieves committed
all the burglaries, and that they are not
strangers to Titusvilie.

HOW TO
GET Clothing
under Price.

IF we could sell a little
more Of this and a little less
of that, we could make
things come out even--the
last man that came in would
carry off the last suit; but
we can't. Out of every
stock there are a great many
sizes left when some are
gone. The best we can do
with these Incomplete assort-
ments is to mark them low
enough to set a great many
people looking among them
for bargains.
This we do every day at
this time of year; and just
now we have enough Of
such to stock a little store.
Besides, odd parts of suits
get left--coats, vests and
trousers. We have a room
in which there is nothing
else. There is in that room
cheaper clothing than you
have any notion of. We call
it the Bargain-Room.
These marked-down suits
and garments are of all
sorts; they may be among
the best in the store.
We force a continual clear
ance of such articles as
would only embarrass us;
and keep our stocks always
fresh and full.
