Words of Wisdom.

A man of courage never lacks
weapons.
Half the ills we hoard in our
hearts are ills because we hoard
them.
Without the company of fools a
wit would often be embarrassed.
A man who cannot mind his own
business is not fit to be trusted with
the kings.
1t is as easy to draw back stone
thrown with force from the hand as
to recall a word once spoken.
No man is born wise; but wisdom
and virtue require a tutor, though
we can easily learn to be vicious
without a master.
No man possesses a genius SO COM
handing that he can attain
emlnence, unless a subject suited to
his talents should present itself, and
an opportunity occur for their
development.
Turn the point of thy curiosity
upon thyself and thine own affairs,
and thou shalt within doors find
matter enough for the most laborious
inquiries.
The cause of virtue and liberty is
confined to no continent or climate.
1t comprehends, within it's capacious
limits, the wise and good, however
dispersed andseparated in space and
distance.

IF Were a Boy.

James Field has been telling his
New England nephews some of the
things, he would learn to do, if he
was boy again, among which are
the following:
"To use both hands equally well,
to use tools of various kinds, learn
the names of different kinds Of wood
and birds; and how to adjust har-
ness" He goes on to say, eff were
boy again, | would keep better
hours; would go to bed earlier than
most boys do, If we go bed ear
ly, we ripen; five situp too late, we
decay. Late hours are shadows
from the graves. If | were a boy
again, 1 would take better care Of
my teeth. The Dentist thrives in
this country as he does in no 9th
er land on this planet; and it is
because we begin to spoil our teeth
at the age of five or six. A child
asked not long ago, if I could re-

a number of these suggestions, all
of which are good and l want YOU

Now his finest trill;

Braver, finer still!
Then the tender-voiced Canary,
Wondering, paused in pain,
And the careless hedge-row singer
Trilled his lay again.

The Berkeley Sermon.


 Preached by Rev. w. w. BattershRII, ID. D., Rector of st. Peter's Church, Albany, MA Large Audience and an ElO- quent Discourse.
 Last evening the Berkeley association of
 Yale College listened to a most eloquent dis
 course by Rev w W. Battershall D. D., rector of St Peter's church, Albany, N. Y. The preacher selected as the basis of his remarks the words found in Romans, xth chapter and with verse. The sermon was a very eloquent production. In his opening remarks the speaker, addressing the Berkeley association of Yale College, referred to the fact that during the reign of Innocent III. mendicant proposed to his holiness that he
 would create an order that would convert the world, and on the principles of chastity and obedience. The Pope dismissed the men, dicant at once, but afterward he was given the power he desired. The mendicant was St. Francis He found his way to Rome and clothing himself in the dress Of beggar he returned to his home to receive the up- braidings of his father and mother. But without shoes or purse he wandered from village to village preaching the words of Christ. A brotherhood was formed and they travelled everywhere, minis. ering to the poor and the sick. The visions of the pontif were fulfilled and the shaking fabric of the church was upheld for more than three centuries by the order of Franciscans. Yet St. Francis degraded his life by mendicancy. His ideas were too high and too exquisite for the lowly men of this earth. Finally the mendicant friars became the pests of Europe. I have selected the life of St Francis for the reason that his life ex- hibited the most practical Christianity of modern days. I cannot forget that your association calls to memory one of the purest and noblest minds that ever lived. Berk- eley's life was the turning point of modern times Berkeley represents philosophy as St. Francis represented life. Righteous ness is the actual product of life which is the child of faith, and finally 1t administers faith Let us glance at materialism of life, of which we have much at the present day. We welcome every fact of science.
 = The great facts of God and immortality may be denied by these men of science. The materialistic theorists of ovr day are not clothed with logical conclusions While men are not responsible for their materialistic conclusionsssyet they are often destructive not only of religion but of virtue by their fatalis- tic deductions.

 Nlw YORK, Nov. 6.-Fire broke out on the deck of the Nelson steamship line at Hoboken at 5:10 p. n., caused by spark dropped by an employe while lighting the gas. The flames spread rapidly along the dock and set fire to the steamship Rialto and the steam boat Plymouth Rock They were lowed to midstream, the fire extinguished and the yes sels saved. A large amount of merchandise on the docks was burned up and some barges destroyed. The total loss is $500,OOO, little salvage. The Hoboken fire department re- fused to respond owing to a strike. They did not appear until the flames were almost beyond control and even then they had to be furnished with coal by the Jersey City de- pertinent.

ism. They say what are we to do with the unseen and the supernatural. This world they say is all with which we have to do. It is a gospel of sectarianism; 1t reasons by science and gives tangible figures, but we are led to say s'thou art shallow in thy conclusions" What are all the marts and crowded cities of the world compared with that young monk who stood in the face of humanity and spoke forth the words of Christ Railroads and steamboats and telegraphs will not preserve a nation pire was referred to by the speaker during it's palmiest days; yet with that well conditioned civilization, he said, there was bubbling and seething within it, obscene things Sensual ism and cruelty everywhere reigned and slipped into ashes with the touch of the Ba- varian, showing that nation without right eousness is marked for decay.
 Human nature with all its modern culture fees for shelter to the religion of Jesus Christ. and returns at last to the altar of Christianity. In sense faith is the offspring of righteousness. There are men who ac- knowledge the obligations of virtue to keep up appearances. If this is your conceI ton of righteousness no wonder that you should dispel the idea of God. If there be such thing as uprightness and purity then there must be belief in God and immortality It is lives of chastity that prove God and dis prove death. You may live such a life, which is the key to the unseen and the eter- nal.
 The words of the eloquent divine were listened to with deep interest by all present

Lost in the Sound.

The new tugboat Resolute of the New England Transportation company started from New York Wednesday noon with tow of twenty-six coal barges for this city. It being very rough the tug put in at Bridgeport and after the wind had lessened started again. About four miles southeast of the New Haven lighthouse two of the coal barges bumped together owing to the heavy sea that was running at the time and sunk. One was named Arizona and the other Truck Martin. About POO tons of coal were on each boat and the cargoes were consigned to the New Eng land Transportation company. About four miles above Bridgeport from another tow by the tug Francis King was lost on Friday night another boat. It was one of the box kind. The tow was lighted and bound south. The new tug Resolute acted splendidly in the heavy sea in the Sound

Church Notes.
NORTH CHURCH.


 Dr. Hawes' text at the morning service of the North church was from Numbers, eleventh chapter and fourteenth verse-the words of Moses in view of the conduct and the mur- muring of the children of Israel, "I am not able to bear all this people alone because it is too heavy for me-" Even Elijah and Moses had their times of despondency, of feeling weak and alone In weakness God comes to our help. His chosen people. Christ's true followers, have now the great medicator, very present help, in every hour of need. The hallowed services of the day were made impressive and inspiring by the more than usually animating words and ringing voice of the speaker. The simple and solemn communion service of the afternoon was also of unusual interest, both from the appropriate and solemn words of the speaker, and by the rite of baptism ad- ministered to three infant children; and by the reception of 0 member from another church into the communion and fellowship of the church. The attendance and good be- havior of the orphan children as usual was a pleasant sight both in the church and in their long procession into the church and in their going home at the close of the services.
 GERMAN BAPTIST CHURCH.
