An Anecdote for Architects.

Architects are fond of telling an
amusing story which tends to illus
trate the difference between house
builders and members of their own
profession. 1t appears that Mr.. Alex
ander, an eminent English architect,
was in certain lawsuit under cross
examination by distinguished barri-
ster who wished to detract from the
weight of his testimony, and who, af-
ter asking him his name, proceeded ::
"You are builder, believe ?"
"No SIR" was the reply, 81 am not a
builder ; | am an architect"
"They are much the same, | sup
pose ?"
81 beg your pardon, sir; | cannot
tally different"
state wherein the great difference ex-
lists"
"An architect, SIR" replied Mr.. Alex
ander, "conceives the design, prepares
the plan, draws out the specifications
in short, supplies the mind ; the build
er is the bricklayer or the carpenter.
The builder, in fact, is the machine !;
the architect the power that puts the
together and sets it going"
''Oh, very well, Mr.. Architect" said
the lawyer; land now, after your in
genious distinction without differ
ence, perhaps you can inform the court
who was the architect of the Tower of
Babel g''-to which question Mr.. Alex
ander made the prompt and telling re-
jOinder:
"There was no architect, sir, and
hence the confusion"

two sat together in the seclusion of
the White house dining room linger-
ing over their evening pie, ''do you

true, Dan, how is it 2"
"Mr. President" replied the frank
and level-headed private secretary,
"since you have asked me the question
and we are well out of the reach of re-
porters, may say that have a strong
impression, which is growing more ro-
bust every hour, that the brand of re-
form now emanating from this admin
istratiOn is rather more than electrify-
ing the country"
"What do you mean, Dan, by more
than electrifying the country ?" inquir-
ed the president, while "A puzzled look
crept over his face.

and subtle Daniel, ''that an attentive

SERMON.
On the Death of Rev. DIR. q. L. GoodeIl.

Preached by REV. C.. M. LAMsON, in
the North Church, st. JOhnsbury,
Sunday, Feb. Z, 1886.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1886-02-11

But that which this preacher has
taught us most clearly, and is teach
ing us, for his works follow him, is the
power and reasonableness of the hope
full soul. awe are saved by hope"
We sometimes look upon the happy
heart as one who cannot have pro-
found knowledge of the deep things of
life. The man of the world who knew
it best, we say was Il "Man of sorrows"
But He, the greatest of all sufferers,
that was set before him he endured the
cross" He that looks at the world
with Christian spirit must learn that
the glad things Outnumber the sad.
If the soul keeps by it's Lord it may
lose every thing, all goods and all ease,
and be blessed, for what it has is of
infinitely greater value than all things
that can be lost. If a soul remain by
his King, all the losable things are not
to be compared with the unlOsable. So
small are they that when one has
Christ he may affirm, with Him have
all things. 1t is the shallow man that
cannot dig the artesian wells and find
below all rocky strata the waters, that
shall by their own force flow forth and
irrigate the desert surface of his sOnl.
With him joy was wisdom. Have
you not felt that the freshness of
our Preachers truth, the sunshine that
covered his doctrine, came from tho
distant and eternal sun on whose sur
face no clouds rise and from whose
heart light flows perpetually upon the
earth. He was acquainted with many
sorrows, he did not live in garden of
roses, you do not find the happiest
men in rose gardens, night often fell
upon his soul, yet his eyes were always
toward the dawn, as if he knew that
the earth at it's darkest midnight was
yet rolling on to the glory of a new
day. Let the Christian he said be glad !

The committees work last evening at
Redmond's Opera House left but 25,929
tickets III the wheel. From these must
come the winning number and the oppor-
tunites for speculation. The fact that
about twO-thlrds of the 50 900 tickets have
been drawn should impress every one in
teresied in the project that not much

Single tickets are selling for
$3.50. five tickets or more are allowed dis

rates are based on schedule of prices IN
which the percentage is largely in favor of

lands of the Pahala plantation, we
notify YOU of the above facts. that you

Here is a case where a law works
abuse. Not because of its own
terms, but because the Government
flagrantly ignores the law which
provides that the money raised by
the road tax shall be spent IL the
district within the tax is collected.
The facts in this case are: that this
Government road has been oui OF
repair and dangerous to travellers
for nearly, if not quite, two years.
The Hawaiian Agricultural Comp any
having failed to influence the road
supervisor to repair the road, ano
having to cart firewood by this load
to its mill, was compelled to lay out
a new road, and now come forNaro

and petition that the new road Iaic
