Sketches of an important sermon
preached by the Rev. DR.. Laws, as
previously announced, in which we
took deep interest, were as follows.
He preached from 2nd Kings, 4:
40. "Oh man Of God, there is
death in the Pot

fcation of Gods word in vindica-
tion of his power over the powers
of darkness here is practical util-
ity of an all seeing eye, obstruct-
ing the deep seated plans of an
untimely evening, Obscured from
human sight.
He made his subject, poison j;

dences, that the truly righteous
may tread on serpents and scOr-
piOns, OF drink deadly things, poi
son, without harm, are sufficient
securely against superstition, and
are ever abiding protection to

NEW THINGS AT TABLE.
WHAT WILL BE THE MODE THIS SEA-
SON-DTNNERS GIVEN AND ARRAN-
GED FOR.
GED FOR.

Dinners are gradually coming to
divide time and attention with
weddings. There we're several dur
ing the week, and, although none
we're in themselves of great mo-
ment, yet taken all together they
made very agreeable diversion.
There is an apparent tendency in
dinners this season to do away al
together with heavy viands, when
ladies are among the company.
Substantial roasts and saddles of
mutton have given way to fillets
about as big round as a watch case
with a tritie of artichoke Of beam
aise.
The purpose is to have every
thing so frail that the knife may be
dispensed with, and women be en-
abled to provide themselves plenti-
fully with fork and without the
necessity, if impulse move, of re.
moving their gloves. Flowers are
more used than ever, and are likely
to be all winter. Three women,
whose influence ordinarily is force.
full in setting the modes in society,
undertook to array themselves
against the use Of flowers as din
ner-table decorations.
They gave an elaborate luncheon,
and forbade the use of a single rose
upon or about the table. They ex-
perienced so much difficulty, how
ever, in procuring substitutes of
even half the decorative beauty
that flowers possess that they aban-
dOned the fight, and, at a dinner
given by one of them the other
night, all precedent in the lavish
use of roses was surpassed. The
stand to make now is against the
vulgar OVERRIDING Of a very pretty
idea. China and fine glass more
than hold their own in popular IA
yor and one sees porcelain in town
that would be priced in the home
of a Howard. Decorations are, and
apparently, if one may judge by
what is already to be seen, will
continue to be, pronounced in col
ors, red and other bright, warm
tints prevailing. No hue predomi-
mates, however, to the exclusion of
others.
What were called yellow dinners
! at Bar Harbor are already decided
| ly passe. They never indeed were
much i'll favor except with social
sensationalists, and they could not
last if for no other reason than the
one that only one complexion in A
thousand could stand against them.
For an Autumnal kink the many
hued leaves of Fall are very pretty
as decorations and are a good deal
used. They may be preserved after
gathering for two weeks or more
by keeping them in cold water
Rich red ivy has also been used
with great effect, and will probab
ly come into decided favor for big
occasions. But ivy grows so slowly
that the generous use OF it means
great expense. - Philadelphia

OF Rev. Il. HI. G. Dyson, visiting
too much among the members OF
their churches, and gossiping to the
detrlment of their interest, in order
TO defeat their success and en-

If this be so, the bishops should
put stop to it. They say Rev
