A Wise Hint to Our Preachers.

In writing of sermons and text, am
irresistibly reminded of u confession made
to me by an eminent Clergyman of this
city. Speaking of the labor required to
prepare sermon worthy of the pulpit,
and of the impossibilIty of writing two
each week in addition to pastoral work,
he went to the nook il. his library where
he kept his stock OF sermons, took one
out and brought it to me. Here, he
said, lis "a sermon which cost me a great
deal of labor, and could not afford to
preach it once only and then lay it away
in lavender. | have preached it, as a
matter of fact, three times to my congre-
cation. But you will see there are three
different texts, and three several ard
separate introductiOns of tho length of
two pages elch. AS soon as l have gwen
out my text all the old ladies' of the
vain repetitions of sermons, pick up their
Bibles, hunt out the passage, mark it,
place the date in the margin, and then g"
comfortably to sleep. They are Statistic d
and So am Neither the sermon nor the
congregation lo.es anything by repeti-
tIon." From which it would appear that
there are tricks in every trade except the
one in which the reader is eng" ged-that
human nature is, as my Uncle David ust
to remark ,'a great instruction.

site of the house in which Gen. Israel Put nam once lived. Within easy sight of Har- yard. across the little common, stands the famous sWashington elm, !" the tree under which the father of his country took com mand of the American army of the RevOlu- ton. This venerable tree shows traces of decay. and if 1t were not carefully protected, would probably before now have yielded up the struggle to Time.
 There is another object of interest here whose associations belong both to colonial and to more recent times, and which is much sought ont by visitors and dsight-seers. This is the late home of the poet Longfel- low. The house stands on Brattle street, a short distance from the famous elm, and was used by Washington as headquarters during the Revolution. The mansion was built and occupied by the stanch tory fam- fly of Vassal during colonial days, but they abandoned it and fled at the approach oi the patriot army. Longfellow owned and occupied this house for many years, and here he died in the spring of 1882. The mansion stands in large. and beautiful lot of ground, short distance from the street, in the midst of tall trees and shrub bery, and has an air of dignity and quiet all it's own. It's architecture IS of colonial style, with terraces leading up to the steps and still, as when the poet wrote,
 "Across its antique portico,
 Tall trees their heightened shadows thro F."
 The interior woodwork of the house if very rich and elegant, and has been vel preserved by it's successive owners. The famous old clock which Longfellow has i'm mortalized in his poem still stands on the stairs. From the mansion windows, look ing southward, may be seen the ''windine Charles, /" the river about which the poe loved so well to sing. A mlle or two away Longfellow sleeps in beautiful Mt. Au burn past whose silent walls the winding Charles flows slowly down to the sea. ***

NOTHING has been more sure for the past three years than that MT. Blaine's consent to be 8 candidate alone stood between him and the republican nomination for the presidency in 1888. The Press eirculates perhaps in the region where MT. Blaine's popularity scales the lowest of any part of the United States western New England. In the southern and western states he stands out as pre-eminently the idol of his party, occupying the same po- sition that Henry Clay used to in the old whig party-a position that has its drawbacks in that that it not only makes one so prominent the target for all the hot shot from the ene- mies' camp, but draws upon him the fire of the envious and ambitious in his own camp.
 Mondays papers contained letter from Mir. Blaine declining to be considered in the field for the next presidency. He says:
 am constrained to this decision by con- alterations entirely personal to myself. of which you were advised more than a year ago. But cannot make the announcement without giving expression to my deep sense of gratitude to the many thousands of my countrymen who have sustained me SO long and so cordially that their feeling has seemed to go beyond the ordinary political adherence of fellow-partisans and to partake somewhat of the nature of personal attachment. For this most generous loyalty of friendship, I can make no adequate return, but I shall car ry the memory of it while life lasts
 The letter draws deductions, showing how much better the republican party stands to- day than it did in the early part of 's4, and paints glowing prospect of republican suc- cess throughout the year. It urges harmony and united work, and particularly advocates an unmistakeable declaration of purpose to foster every American industry by adequate tariff protection.
 The field is open; though, as yet, no re- publican has moved that Mir. Blaine be ex- cused. If he leaves the question to the party there will be an immense negative vote.

In the cold snap she said, 'al the water pipes in our neighborhood were freezing up every night and gave us g great deal of trouble. Plumbers had to be sent for every day. Finally I said one night: 'l'Il have no more trouble with my pipes I'll leave them for God to take care of And so did The next morn ing went to them, fully convinced that they would be found all right. And SC they were. The water poured right out when I turned the faucets. But all the nei8hbors' pipes were frozen stiff. By and by some of them came to see me, and they said: Why, Mrs. -, how is il you ever manage to keep your pipes from freezing? Mine and all the rest in the neighborhood are frozen solid, Then told her of my faith and what had done and she went home to think of it..

ROCKVILLE held town meeting on Satur- day which nearly thousand voters attended, and for three hours listened to arguments fo1 and against change of site for the proposed new court house, heretofore disguised under the name of memorial hall. A site on Park street had been selected and bought, and ap- proved in town meeting. The move for new sites had enlisted not only those who were in- terested in change of location, but also those who hoped by reopening the question and breaking unanimity of feeling, to kill of the whole scheme. 58O ballots were cast, of which 345 were in favor of change of site. The site now selected is the Bowling lot, cor ner of Main and Union streets. The original plans of building involved cost of $75, ,0OO the changes and necessity of new plans, etc., will carry the towns outlay to above $1OO,- 900. Of course the town is looking for its chief compensation in the removal of the en- tire court business of the county to that vil- lage. The real effect of pushing this scheme will be disappointing to the denizens of that grasping village. Eastern Holland County finds it's present county seat quite too incon- venient to reach. Rather than have that in- convenience increased, agitation will begin for the disruption of the county. It needs only glance at the map to show how ridicu- lous it would be to expect the towns of Staf- ford, Union, Mansfield, Columbia, to say nothing of several others, to cross the entire county to reach shire village on its extreme western edge, within twelve miles of Hartford, and to be reached by rail from Stafford only by route of nearly fifty miles, with two changes of cars.
