FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

AAhAoA DAA AAoA thbAANhs
Rev. A. K. p. Small preached a farewell
sermon to his parish yesterday. As the
parish intend to publish the sermon we
merely give this abstract:
The text was Ex. IA, H. From the fact
that movement Is the necessity Of real life
without which Is rulnous stagnation, there
was an allusi0n to common occasions for
haltiDg In all best enterprises and the spec
lal necessity then for the word Forward. -
In this case the halting was not only natural
but apparently inevitable, because OF insur-
mountable difficulty; when the "golng for
ward was the essential test OF faith, and the
only way toward most remarkable victory
When trustingly, Obediently, unitedly they
stepped toward the impossible they soon as
cended an opposite bank, whence arose the
most mos Victorious ts shout Of history Forget
desire Of the preacher to let his parting mes
sage be go Forward" Abiding TO his ne
euliarly favored lot. with favorite churches.
now, on voluntary retirement Il was his
special joy to hold in his hand message i'm
plying that a chosen successor had accepted
the Invitation around whom he trusted ali
would soon be heartily rallying for new
successful movement forward.
Dr. Small will probably oficlate one more
Sunday with his people.

NEW YORK, September 27.-The Anchor
line steamer Clrcassia, which sailed from
here Saturday for Glasgow, came into port
today with a large hole in her starboard bow.
She collided Saturday night, at about 10
O'Clock, with the schooner Daylight, bound
from Boston to Philadelphia. The Daylight
was commanded by Capt. Hodgson. The
Circassia was in charge Of Chief Officer Raj
ston at the time. Ralston says the steamer
was going along slowly. The night was dark
and hazy. Suddenly he and the man on
lookout saw a white light directly ahead. He
was in a quandary as to what action should
be taken, when great light appeared on
the unknown vessel The helm of the Cir
cassia was set to port. In few moments
the unknown vessel showed a red light and
was under the steamers bow. The engines
we're reversed, bat before they had any effect
the crash came. A hole four feet square was
smashed In the Circassia's starboard bow.
The jbboom and Dowsprit OF the schooner
we're carried away. The Daylight proceeded
on her way. The Circassa returned for re-
pairs. There was no little cOmmotion among
the steamer 100 passengers when the crash
came. They will remain on the vessel while
she is being repaired. This will take but a
day or two for the steamer will not go on the
dry dock. The Daylight is a vessel OF $50

Our Bug-Catchers.

We have garden around our
house, where we try to raise fruits ana
flowers, and peas and beans, and let
tuce and cucumbers, and such like.
But we have one trouble, there are
lots of little bugs and worms that
seem to like our provisions as we'll rs
we do. and that are always on hand
to take their portion. And, in fact,
they sometimes seem to want to take
the whole.
Well, what is to be done in such a
case | will tell you what TO do. We
have several little bug-catchers, curl
Ous creatures-in color and shape
they look almost like u lump OF earth,
and one would hardly know them from
the clods among which they travel
about. The children see them about
the fields or highways, and whenever
they find one they speedily pick him
I'D, and invite him TO make his home
in our garden. And SO they have
their dwellings, in holes and corners
about the yard.
The little fellows have a queer way
of catching bugs. They have long,
sticky tongue, though where they
keep it is mystery, as it seems to be
longer than lis owner. Perhaps they
take reef in it. as the sailors say,
and so stow it away. But when one
of them gets near little bug, he sits
and looks at him, and winks in a kind
of a solemn way, till all at once his
mouth opens, and quick as a flash
the tongue goes out and in again, and
the bug is among the missing And
then our little friend sits winking and
blinking, and waiting for another bug
to come that way.
He is said to have al ear for music,
and to do some singing i'll the warm
spring evenings, but we do not count
much on this ; nor do we brag much
about his good looks. His skin is not
smooth, nor his complexion fair ; but
for real usefulness he is about the
best kind OF live stock we have on our
farm; and if people want TO keep
their gardens free from bugs, the best
thing they can do is to get on friendly
terms with the little bug catchers,
and make pleasant homes for the
toads
