The latest enterprise which we hear
announced in the young and entcrpris-
ing west is the Sermon exchange" of
Chicago. According to popular belief
the practice of clergymen has been to
write sermons until they had filed a
barrel. Then tho barrel would bo turned
upside down and the sermons all
preached over again. Where n minister
remained in n church a great many years
the congregation would after awhile be-
gin to know when the barrel was turned
Some sermons were looked forward to
with much interest and others with more
or less dismay. The Sermon exchange
is to do away with al Of this, It is no
longer necessary to preach a sermon over
q second time. The preacher can take
an old sermon and tie twenty-five cents
to it. This he sends to the exchange and
receives one written by some one else
by return mail, or if he has no sermon to
send he can get one for fifty cents. Bal

The propriety Of eGdowiug daughters
appears TO be now seriously discussed in
different parts of the country. This
arises partly out of 4 growing sense Of
justice, which, the philosophers say, is
the last sentiment 10 he developed in the
case of women. and partly out Of the
commercial exigencieS which in the last
twenty years have left stranded SO many
women with no means of livelihood,
The endowment of daughters would &C.
complish several ends II would enable
them to marry the men Of their choice,
it would support thom if they do not
marry, and in case Of commercial disas.

provision for the family. The matter
has Progressed until the methods Of en-
dowments in different countries are IN

The Shinnecock at sea, whether pure

The discipline Of the forecastle was good

Many of them got to be mates, and one
