 Speaking of sharks, said Officer Clinton, of West Haven, Saturday, reminds me of our fishing expeditions that we are making nowadays. We go out each night just after dark Lastevening Friday) we caught in our net six sharks, the largest about eight feet long and weighing about four hundred pounds We hauled them in shore with the small fish and have carted them off to help as fertilizers. They kicked and acted ugly enough, but we as quietly as we could lowed them in shore. They come in schools to dine of the schools of bluefsh. One large shark bluefish in his maw. The bluefsh weighed from pound to two pounds each. The bluehsh we got last week weighed about the same. We got one hundred pounds of fine fish Friday night beside the sharks. Beside bluefish we got weak fish and mullet. There were four of us in the party, three men. and boy.

Remarkable work of Art.

An opportunity is now offered our citizens
 of viewing one of the most noteworthy
 works of art ever seen in this city. It is 8
 production at once unique in it's character
 and remarkable in it's artistic beauty and
 finish, combining in it's structure the most
 familiar of all prayers, with representations
 of some of the worlds greatest masterpieces
 in painting; it is wonderful piece of work
 manship, masterly in it's conceptions, ingen-
 ious in its treatment, and perfect in it's ex-
 ecution. This engraving is from the original
 pen picture of Mir. Delwin F. Brown, who
 has long been known for his remarkable skill
 with the pen. In 1857 he began the great
 work. It was his intention to make the
 Lords prayer the center around which could
 cluster the main events of the Saviour's life
 as they had been handed down by the great
 artists. Forming design which admirably carried out his purpose, he commenced his pen work. Six years were required to finish the task on account of the complexity and
 magnitude of the piece, and the exquisite softness and delcacy of the finish. The Lords prayer, stated, is the groundwork of the picture. Yet the famous last supper of Leonardo Da Vinci forms nearly as inn portant feature. The central figure in Mr. Browns work is bust of the Saviour, taken from Da Vinci's supper. The border is OA 4ACofn1AAOuS O1 Un0 GW0IV0 apostles, while just below the head of Christ is seen the representation of the feast of which they are all partaking. These are faithful copies of the original, and preserve all its power beauty and characteristic expressions In terspersed among the words of the prayer are numerous representations of the main features of our Lords life. It is nota sin gle picture, but.a combination of many pie ! lures which, in their perfect harmony, make 1t "a gem of inexpressible purity and match
 less beauty" The best bank note engrayers
 in the country were engaged at cost of $15, ,174, in making this pure line steel plate engraving, which will take place among
 the best productions of this century. It has | been printed on superior plste paper, and is 1Sx24 inches. We would sdvise art connois-
 seurs and all lovers of art in general to call at Cutters art rooms and examine the orig
 inal pen picture in connection with the en-
 cravings of the prayer and last supper

SIT is not worth your while to
hate. Your life is not long enough
to make it pay to cherish ill-will or
hard thoughts toward anyone. What
if that man has cheated you or that
woman played you false? What if
this friend has forsaken you in your
time of need or that one, having won
your utmost confidence, your warm
est love, has concluden that he pre-
fers to consider and treat you as a
stranger? Let it all pass. What
difference will it make to you in
few years, when you 60 hence to the
undiscovered country?' All who
treat you wrongly will be more sorry
for it than you, even in your deepest
disappointment and grief, can be.
A few more smiles, few more tears,
some pleasure, much pain, little
longer hurrying and worrying in the
world, some hasty greetings and alb
rupt farewells, and life will be over,
and the injurer and injured will be
laid away, and ere long forgotten.
1t is not worth while to hate each
other

GOOD ADVICE.

Do not choose your friend by his
looks; handsome shoes often pinch
the feet. Do not be fond of compli-
ments remember, sThank you, pus-
sy; and thank you, pussy, killed the
cat" Don't believe in the man who
talks most, for mewing cats are very
seldom good mousers. By no means
put yourself in another persons pow
er; if you put your thumb between
two grinders it is very apt to be bit
ten. Drink nothing without seeing
it; sign nothing without reading it,
and make sure that it means no more
than it says. Don't go to law unless
you have nothing to lose; lawyers
houses are built on fools heads. In
any business never wade into water
where you cannot see bottom. Put
no dependence upon the liable of a
bag and count money before you
receipt for it. See the sack open be-
fore you buy what is in 1t, for he who
trades in the dark asks to be cheated.
Keep clear of the man who does not
value his character. Beware of every
one who swears, for he who would
blaspheme his Maker would make no
bones of lying OF stealing. Beware
of no man more than yourself; we
carry our worst enemies within us.
When a new doctrine or opinion
comes before you do not bite till you
know whether it is bread or a stone,
and do not be sure that the ginger
bread is good because of the gilt on
it. Never shout till you are quite out
of the woods, and don't cry fried fish

Paying the Church Debt.

"Oh! husband, heard such sermon to-day,
By dear Mr.. Stiggns. who said we would pay
Next Sabbath the debt on our church, and, said he,
whoever subscribes-Oh! how happy he'll be-
And all may this glorions privilege share
By naming the sum he surely can spare;
You just sign slip and you weekly can pay
Oh! can you imagine an easier way?
And dear Mr.. Stiggins said all can afford
To give back what only belongs to the Lord,
Who will repay treble-besides five should
Just sacrifice something we'd feel the more good -
eyes, wife, of that privilege all should partake,
A sacrifice for such cause we must make;
l, being unselfsh, will let you, I guess,
Feel good-so Wen sacrifice your new silk Dress"
'Oh husband, 1 couldn't. My six won't suffice.
Our pastor meant you would with joy sacrifice
A few of your pleasures, 1 thought you'd be glad
To give up your pipe and your papers SO bad"

Good Night.

Good night! Oh, sweet, sweet words prolong
The music on my heart and tongue,
Oh, charmed door shut out the day,
Chase all its varied cares away.
They hide the hills-They dim the vale,
Bright suns go out, and flowers grow pale,
Gay warbling birds flee from sight,
Yet still we love the words-Good Night.
Love them, because surcharged with rest,
They calm the wild tumultuous breast,
And proffer kisses, love, and peace,
Then prison us till morn's release.
Good night, its easier far to bear
Life's ills when compassed by this prayer.
Its breath is so akin to heaven
That stars appear to list at even.

Many a Song.

Many a song that is glad and gay,
Like notes that are sung by dying swan,
Tells of a joy that has faded away,
Breathes of hope that is gone.
Fragrance distilled from the heart of rose
Hid in flask, placed in a room,
A man who is blind no difference knows
From the flower in its full perfume.
But the heart of the singer knoweth the grief,
Eyes that are open the truth discern;
Love like flower is pleasant and brief,
Let us cling while our bosoms yearn.

Moody's six months work in Lon
don is now closing and he will return
to America for rest. Both in the at
tendance and the effect of his preach
ing the results of the winter far sur
pass those of the former visits.
Moody's complaint in London has
often been that the church-goers con-
tinually crowded out the non-church-
goers. At one of the meetings he
asked all those that were Christians
to rise, and nearly the whole audience
were at once on their feet. He then
stated that the chlrch-yard was filled
with the unconverted, and to those he
wished to address himself and soon
the church crowd were adjourning
good-naturedly to a neighboring tent.
Moody also has been making converts
among professed atheists, many of
whom were at first disposed to make
an onslaught upon the evangelists.
At Stratford Bradlaugh preceded
Moody, and the latter's success in
this quarter gave him great satisfac-
ton.
