A large gathering at the Y. NJ. C. A. Hall, |
Tuesday night, listened to Rev F. j. Parry's |
delightful lecture on The Mirthful Side OF |
Life The lecture abounded IN fresh thought |
and pleasant anecdote, and kept the audience |
IN state OF almost constant mcrriment. |
Frequent applause interrupted the lecturer,
who held the closest attention of his hearers
ioi more than an hour and a half The |
speaker dwclt upon the helpfulncss
and healthfulness of humor; upon its
naturalncss to the human heart upon
the close relation between the serious
and mlrthful side of life, illustrating
the step between the ridiculous aud sublime
by some laughsble instances. He spoke at
length of the qualities and the value of Amer

Under Control.
AT about half past twclvc-or after about
an hour and half of vigorous work it was
evident that the fire was under control. 1t
still blazed brightly enough in the north end
of the building, but there was sufficient as
surancc that it would spread no more and
that 1t would soon be extingulshcd. The
fire was bad enough, as it was,
but il could easily have been much
worse, with less efficient fire depart
mcnt than ours. As spectacle, it was n
grand one. At one time the smoke, of u
golden hue rolled up TO great height, in the
clear night air. The flames lighted up the
