There is nothing in the world, we
believe, more pleasing to the eye or
inviting to a stranger than. on enter.
ing a town to find good and wide
sidewalks, nicely painted houses and
fences, aud clean streets. 1t gives
life and health to a place, and affords
something to be admired instead of
being detested. 1t speaks volumes
for a community, and, in most in.
stances, people who visit such towns
are loatk to leave it. On tie other
hand, where carelessness and neglect
in these essential points which serve
to promote the welfare and prosper.
ity Of a community, are exposed to
the public gaze, and the town resem.
bling more the village Of savages
than a civilized community, carries
with it broadcast a. very unenvious
name for its citizens. We are pleased
to state, however, that we have some
in our midst who are not lost to
al sense Of decency and enterprise,
and are endeavoring to keep pace
with the progress Of the day by a
free use of the painters brush, and
otherwise improving the appearance
lof their property.

A Bicycle Trip

J. D. Dauchy, of Winsted, who started from there Ang. 8 to take an outing of two weeks on his "Expert, " arrived home on the 22d, and reports 8 grand pleasure trip, which he hopes to continue across the continent another season, all things being favorable. He made the run from New Hartford to New York, distance of 90 miles, in nine hours and thirty minutes, the quickest time on record. He reached New York in time for the grand Blaine celebration, and also with 8 party visited the steamship City of New York, in which the conquering hero" came over. While the ladies of the party were o! O'ing! over the grand salon he was viewing the machinery, to "see how the thing worked," and after view ing the Brooklyn bridge he came to the conclusion that man after all was not an insignificant being. He rode out to Greystone, the palatial residence of the late S. J. Tilden, and was shown over the grounds and house by very courtly old colored man who was a servant in the family. He saw the ball game between the New Yorks and Chicago's and also attended the great Harrison flag raising in Yonkers, but said there was too much democratic blood in his veins to allow of his taking part in the cheering, but as his uncle, whose first vote was cast in 1S4O for William Henry Harrison, was upon the platform he was obliged to respect his uncle's religion and politics by looking on. He came home via the Hudson, passing the celebrated Leather Man, whom he had often heard of but never seen. Thinking to get him to speak, he dismounted and asked him the way to Waterbury the old fellow grunted and pointed the way and passed on Arrived in Winsted at noon on the 22d and at once put the harness on.
 He did not entirely forget business while on the wing. as while in New York he called on the veteran artist, Dr Edward l.. Wilson, who has travelled extensively in the East making some of the grandest photograph views of Egypt that have ever been exhibited. Tue Dr speaks very favorably of MT Dauchy's work in his Journal and says he is a young man of much artistic talent He has been asked to enter the bicycle races in Hartford in September, and if he should we hope his lucky star may still be in the ascendent.

The Borrowed AK.

The Rev James Taylor, pastor of the M. D. church at Cornwall Bridge, Ct., preached an excellent sermon in said church August 19, from the text found in II. Kings, vi. 5, Alas, Master! for it was borrowed" The following is a brief of the principal points of the sermon subject, "The Borrowed Ak"
 The young man willing to work: he experienced trouble in the loss of bor- rowed ax. The common losses of life: man by sin has lost all: Christ will make the lost blessing to swim before the sin her that prays. The branch of all things that work together for good to them who love God: Christians can turn losses into blessings: The young man did not tell his comrades of his loss, but his Master who could help him : Have we trouble anywhere? Take it to the Lord in prayer It is an instinct of human nature to pray in the time of loss and danger. If we are willing to be honest and pay back what we have bor- rowed God will give us credit to help us do His work. God will work mira cles, and give grace to finish the work of His church. " The Christian must do his duty in spite of losses . If trou- ble comes the door of ''Alas Master is open before us. :. The young man was working with all his might when he lost his ax: Gods workmen must be in earn est-examples: Elijah, Luther, White field: The Christian must work as hard for God as for worldly gains The kingdom of God suffereth violence: we must strive to enter in at the straight gate: Be in earnest and hate sin and love holiness If we do not take up to us the blessings which the Master causes to swim before us they will be eternally lost.
 APPLICATION Do not be too high minded to pray Alas, Master! it was borrowed" for all we have was lent and we are stewards Your Master is al- ways by your side. The young man did not theorize about the floating ax, but took it up to him and went to work =. Have we lost the ax of spiritual power with God and with man? Let us seek it in the upper room of prayer and consecration The higher we lift the instruments we use for Gods work the deeper they cut into the trembling tree of sin Let us take up the ax and go to work as servants of God and do with our might what our hands find to do.
