looking for The repeal of the national bank

and srrpentine dances were excellent, the

plause from the gallery gods.

The announcement that Rev. Dr. e. NJ.
Smith, principal of Vermont Methodist
Semin, ,ry, would preach at Trinity church
last Sunday evening attracted a cOngrega-
tion large for an evening service. The
reputation that Professor Smith has en-
jOyed in other places AS a pulpit orator
naturally excited desire to hear him, at
this, his first appearance in the pulpit OF
Trinity church. On This occasion he deliv.
cred a plain, practical discourse from the
words, :" Be not deceived; God Is MT
Knocked; for whatsoever man soweth that
shall he also reap" In opening his dis
course DR.. Smith demonstrated that science
has shown US the universality and sacred
ness Of law, iuviolahle vet benevolent, in the
physical world. This law, so necessary in
the physical realm, is equally 80 in the
moral aud spiritual world The harvest of
sin OF which the text speaks il not death or
poverty, but sin, The very sin n man sows
that shall he also reap. II we SOW TO appe-
tite, we reap an increase OF appetite; but,
on the other hand, If we SOW TO spiritual
things, II we SOW TO "A religious disposition,
we shall reap gratifying Increase. IL is on
this principle that character is built. II we
SOW an act, we reap "A character. IL we SOW
