THE SECULAR PULPIT.
THE SERMON.

My text, beloved, is taken from the wise words of Paxton Hood, 1.-The eyes of man are of no use without the observ- ing power." It was Franklin, believe, who once wrote an essay on "Eyes or no Eyes," In it he told the story of cer- tain sailor who had travelled much about the world but who knew nothing about the points at which he touched save the places where they kept the best grog. It is fault of our modern times that having eyes we do not use them. We are like him who is spoken of in the Scriptures, who having an evil eye has body full of darkness. Now all history and all life depends upon the way in which you look at it as to it's interpreta- tion for you. Every loyal son of Ameri- ca looks at our Revolutionary struggle as one of the worlds first recognitions of the fact that nation

 free press, a free country in which every man is king, and yet have g stable and enduring government. And to us the great Revolutionary struggle was call to humanity for freedom. But I suppose that in the mother country, England, there are plenty of our English cousins who still regard that late un- pleasantness as mob of uneasy rebels revoIting against the good and great beneficent system of monarchy. They point to Shakespeare and Chaucer and l ask you, "Can republic ever produce ! such a literature and such poetry as a l monarchy has produced? ?' To them the song of freedom is not the sweetest music of the world for it is only jargon. They have not developed their observing power to notice that the music of liberty is sWeeter to some ears than the finest melody that has in it the

Could there be a prettier time to ride into New Haven i? Look beyond the melancholy that sor- rowful mortals would associate with the sere and yellow Au- tumn leaf. Look beyond, we say, to the golden harvest reaped by the skill full hand of Artisan and Merchant.
 The best exhibi- ton of that harvest is witnessed in the great lngatherlng of Capcs, Cloaks, Mil lincry, Silks, Dress Goods, Gloves, Laces, etc., first opened to view last "Wednesday and T hursd a y. Now, the sale of this merchandise has be- gun in earnest and will continue until gentle Spring melts the heart of frosty winter.
