Beesher on Trouble.

Mr.. Beecher's way to endure trouble.
Briefly, he advised patience. Referring
to patience as q great weapon in life's
battle, he said "Chere are some heavy
grief that for the moment blight faith,
as mothers wailing over her dead
child but blighted hearts are strong
in God. Some lives are like roaring,
rushing, plunging streams, when seek
ing their level in the quiet meadows
below, find it after pitching and tumb-
ling over cliffs and through dark and
narrow gorges. "A great many men
come into life with unbalanced minds.
There are some men who generate suf-
f ring in th Dir own nature and(a that
was bad in the father comes TO them.
When men are ignorant they, to use
common phrase, Cry out "Luck is
against u.s." And luck is against the
child who has had bad parents. Some
mems lives are all discords. They need
total reconstruction by edu ,ation.
Some natures Is born in vulgar homes.
Some there are who are thrown down
into coarse and crooked places. A poet
is coal miner, speaker is b ack-
smith or husbandman. Some there
are to- day who are in the kitchen, and
other natures in the parlors which
should be III the kitchen. Some of these
natures are able to change this order of
things, and find their way out and
break through all unfavorable circuA.
stances. With them patience Is the
weapon in the fight"

Afoat mt LAst-The Old ColOny's New
 Steamer Launched.
 CHESTER, July 23.-The iroa steamboat Pilgrim, built at Roachs for the Old Colony comI any, was launched yesterday afternoon. The vessel was stuck on the ways on the 18th inst, after which three attempts were made to launch her. The ways were sawed out in twelve feet sections greased and put back. An extra set of ways were placed under her bilge. This having been done an engine was put aboard connected with anchors se- cured in the middle of the river to aid in starting her, as were also five powerful tugs and four hydraulic pumps. After she start ed timber, chains and cables snapped like matches. great crowd of people cheered her of. The cause of her sticking was that she had pressed and burned the tallow from the ways.
 The Pilgrim is to run between New York and Fall River. Her hull is of iron. She is cost $1, 900, 900. Her depth is Is feet in- ches, and the measurement from the top of her dome to the base line is 60 feet. Ahoat she will draw Il feet of water, and her measurement will probably be registered at about 3, 800 tons She has double hull, the ever COuStruCtou IOT SteAm6r or LQlS class. The engine is nominaly 6,5OO horse power, but can furnish 5000 horse power if re- quired, while only $500 horse power need be ordinarily used The lower saloons are venti- lated by blowers. Both gas and electric lights can be used for Illuminating. The Pilgrim has in the gallery 95 staterooms in the main hall. promenade dck, 116 in the social hall, 42 total, 253 staterooms. Besides, she will have about 200 sleeping berths. She will be equipped with ten Raymond life boats. The finish is in soft woods The face work is in panel ornamented with stead of the old fashioned plasterers The cornices are of original pattern, entirely diff ferent from those of the old boats. the orna ments produced principally by carving.

denee, and laid every green thing waste that came within their reach. Then they began to move in a southerly direction, and short time later were seen moving in the direction of the academy Confining themselves to green grass they made sad havoc with Rev. Dr. Horton's acres of intended hay, leaving the grass fields to look as though they had been burned to the very roots. The worms also appeared on Henry Beale's property, about quarter of mile distant from the academy. Various remedies have thus far been used to destroy or stop the advance of the pests, but thus far without any very perceptible results.
 The largest sized worm thus far seen IS about two inches long and about as thick as 8 Faber pencil. It has dark colored back and two yellow stripes, one on each side The yellow stripes do not appear until the body is nearly developed. They crawl rapid Iy One reason why they are 80 partial to grass is that there is scarcely any grain in the town but what has been cut and housed. The worms avoid weeds entirely. It is said that the worm is moving toward this city, but the public are not much scared so far as heard from.
 Middletown correspondent of the Hart ford Post says: "A squadron of some thou sands of army worms has been discovered coming up the Valley railroad below the creek, evidently preparing to take hold of the bridge, the 'tetes de pont, so to speak, for the main body, which is in hourly expecta- tion"
 A novel war against the army worm was waged at Holmdel, N J., few days ago. Messrs Albro and Crawford, the owners of farm near the town, discovered an immense column of the worms advancing in the direc ton of their corn fields. All the available force on the farm was at once called out, and a deep ditch was dug alongside of the field, between the corn and the army worms, and when the ditch was filled with the pests the trench was filled with kerosene which was fired The flame, of course, consumed the occupants of the ditch, but the flames did not check the advance of those behind nor turn aside the line of march, The fire was kept up until the rear guard had tumbled into the ditch and been consumed. neigh boring farmer whose premises were invaded did not have time to dig trench, so he scat tered straw in front of the advancing hosts, sprinkled kerosene over the straw and fired that. It was not eficacious as the ditch defense, but it served the purpose.

Sorrow for the Late Miss Parnens

Sorrow for the Late Miss Parnen.
 NEW YORK; July 23.-Unmistakable gloom, sadness and sorrow characterized the pro ceedings of the meetings of the various branches of the Land League held in this city this afternoon and evening. It was quite a contrast when compared with the meetings of a week since. There was music, no patriotic songs, nor was there the usual de- mand for assistance for the cause. When the speakers addressed the gatherings there was peIceptible faultering in their tone of voice, all out of reverence for the loved and revered Miss Parnell, who lies at Bordentown dead. At every meeting resolutions of sym pathy with the bsreaved family were adopted and addresses highly eulogistic of the char acter and labors of the late Miss Parnell in the cause of her downtrodden countrymen and women were delivered.
