 Last Night.
 Another burglary occurred last night at Burr s. Peck's residence, No. 116 High street. This time the burglar was seen. He is e colored man. Mrs. Peck and her daugh- ter, Mrs. Hunt, were at church. When they returned Mrs. Hunt went upstairs to her room. She thought she saw something un. usual about her closet, which had curtains draped in front. She proceeded to investi- gate, and somebody caught hold of her. She fought bravelY, and in the struggle the cur- tain was torn down. The man then fell over mahogany rocking chair, breaking 1t. He also broke another chair and smashed wash bowl. Mrs. Hunt screamed. Her father rushed up the front stairs. The burglar dashed for the back way and leaped through the window, head first. The window was . small one. Had Mir. Peck gone up the back stairs he would have met the burglar. It was evident that he had just entered, as nothing was missing. He reached the win, dow by using one of Mir. Peck's ladders and getting on to an ell. Mrs. Hunt gave de. scription of him to the police; colored, feet inches, wearing brown beaver overcoat and brown derby. Officer Stanford arrest ed man of this description, and Mrs. Hunt was called to the police office to identify him, but she said he was not the one.
 Another burglary occurred about 8 o'clock at 118 College street, but nothing was taken. An entrance was affected through rear window.

vOOATIONs OF LIFE.

Their Importance and Bearing Upon
 she Race DisceuFsed by Professor
 Hancks or AnAover From Center
 Church,s Pulpit.
 Professor Edward Y. Hincks of Andover preached from the pulpit of Center church yesterday morning. He spoke of the im- portance of uprightness and integrity in the vacations of life. His text was from Colos- sisns iii, 23: What you do, do heartily.
 Instead of referring to all conducts of life, this refers more particularly to the vacations said he. The race cannot live without the labor of these. Millions of people have died at one time for want of bread. Laborers hold tho life of the race in their hands. For long ages the world has langaished for want of just such labor as 1t has to-day. No nation is entirely dependent of the others. Those nations which are richest are most dependent on the others. The truth we should never forget is that the world is still existing because God is always creating 1t. Man is gift of the Nineteenth century as much as of any other. It follows that every the linkSbstween life and nothingness. We are told that the world upon the whole is . good world. We ask ourselves what it
 means to be fellow workman with God.
 How does our occupation connect itself with
 the highest and best within usl He who
 enters legitimate calling can and should
 do his daily work as divine
 service. Do you not think Christ re- joioed a he toilsd at his carpenters bench that he was helping to advance Gods work In advancing man. As the wrong con- captions of the world give way to the true ones the secular oallings will receive more
 attention from the church. To help on the world you must help on individuals. You
 may do this In numberless ways, but you must be in all of them great giver. A phy- sician who declared he praotised his profes. sion solely fer pecuniary rewards would be | justly despised by his fellows. A calling can | only be worthy as it is unselHshly pursued. | When secular calling is pursued for bsnef- cenoe man will exert his full powers in devel. l opinR this vocation. To men who are living | in the world with the right spirit true, vital uprightnsss in life is the most prominent l chsracteristic. The manufacturer who oar ries on his manufaotory solely for getting rich cannot show his operatives the verity oi | the example of Christ. Money given te | Christian ends If this money has been wrunl from the poor by hard extortion, is of nc avail. The only true thing that will mako the world happier is our perfect unity in th. uprightness of our lives and the light and example of our characters.

Literary Note

The recent change in the Now York Ledger is very significant in that it presents for consideration the interesting question, what is the most popular periodical literature of to day Instead of large paper of eight pages such as 1t has been in bygone years, the Ledger is now issued in compact, elegant form of sixteen pages, and instead of being filled with stories "to be continued in our next" it's columns are brilliant with articles of popular interest from the pens of many of the best writers. This shows marked progress. and is an encouraging state of affairs. There is another change in the Ledger, the object of which is not so ap.. parent. While the quality of the paper used is more expensive than formerly, and the cost of illustrations has been greatly increased, the price of the Ledger has been reduced from three to two dollars year. Is this thrust at the cheap .paper-book literature that is flooding the marketa Whatever may have been the moving cause for this reduction of price, it is certainly change that is greatly to the advantage of the Ledger's vast circle of readers.

THE POPULAR CONCERTS.

Rehearsals Fer sho Next ono At she
 Hyperion On Friday Evening-A
 Fine Pregramme.
 If Mics Justine Ingersoll is an enthusiast upon anything it is the series of popular con- certs which she and Dr. Leighton arc giving for the working people. She is frequent visitor at the rehearsals of Mowers' Orches- tra club. which takes a prominent part in the concerts, and is devotipg a large portion of her time to the work of arranging the details of these pleasurable events.
 The programme, which has been prepared for the next concert which takes place on next Friday evening, Is a fine one. The opening overture will be rendered by Mow- ers' orchestra, under the direction of Leader Cassau. Two other selections will be played by this orchestra. In one of them will be an excellent xylophone solo by Mir. Whspples. MT. Weiss, who recently refused an offer from the Boston Symphony orchestra to play first violin, will appear, as will also Mr. Sol- tau by permission from MT. Proctor, Madame Evelyn Oertel, Mir. Hoyden Ward with 'oello obligato, the Elm City Banjo club, the Mas ters Sohneeloek and others. Mrs. Sherwood 8. Thompson will sing new topical song which, 1t h said, will make so palpable hit tnht every JOY VIII pc WuintiiuB i'upOu tuo streets before the week Is over. Its name is "These Words no Shakespeare Wrote"
 It has been the intention of Miss Ingersoll not to appear herself. She has received so many letters, however, asking that she give at least one recitation, that she has decided to do SO. 10 will certainly add much to the excellence of the entertainment.
 Those who have heard the rehearsals of Mowers orchestra, which take place every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, are sur prissd at the precision and general high character of Its work. It is an organization of but years growth. Yet it's rendition is remarkably good. It Is composed mostly of mechanios.
 All those who participate In the popular concerts give their services grstuitously. The entire direction of the concerts is in charge of Max Dsssaur. Friday evenings event promises to be more pronounced sue cess even than the first of the series. The boxes will be occupied by many people we'll known for their social and benevolent doings. Nearly all of the seats have already been sold,
