"Renember the Sabbath day,
to keep it holy" is written, not
only in the decalogue, but also
III mans nature. Sir Robert
Peel once said he never knew a
man to escape failure either in
mind or body who worked seven
days i'll the week. The Sabbath
was made for man. Its obser-
vance is a duty we owe to our
selves as we'll as to God. A rest
day is essential to man S best de-
velopnent and highest good, and
he who neglects the injunction
to keep the day holy neglects

a singular Life.

BY Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. An
amazing amount of art. humanity, fer
vor, wit, satire, skill in characterize
ton, dramatic power, and about every
thing else imaginable or desirable in
fiction, has been lavished on this most
absorbing and moving story. And yet
il deals with the temperance question:
Almost anyone can write an enthrall-
ing tale about one of the command
ments, particularly the seventh; but
who could imagine a genuinely fine
work about that important twelfth or
thirteenth, or something. in the appen-
dix of the decalogue: Thou shalt not
be a swinish drunkard?" Temperance
is so intimately connected in our minds
with blue-goggled spinsters and under
takerish and mercenary exhorters, that
no one could think Of work Of art in
connection with it. Yet here one is.
Bayard is a latter-day Crusader, a viii
lage Parkhurst. He is minister fight
ing the liquor curse in his New England
town. He is Just little too heterodox
to be passed by his parson examiners;
so he has the added glory of independ-
ence. There is no pietistic gush. but
there is all the ardor the theme is ca
pable Of, and wit enough to keep 1t from
morbidness. The title of the book is
the poorest thing about it. 1t is doubt
less Mrs. Wards masterpiece. Cloth.

HIS GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.
Words That VIII Live In History as the
Greatest Effort of Lincoln.

EnOfI Oi
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation or any
other nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated can long endure. We are met on
a great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate portion of that
field, as a final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that the ma
ton might live. 1t is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this.
But, in & larger sense, we cannot ded-
icate-we cannot conservative can
not hallow this ground. The brave
men. living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated 1t, far above our
poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long remem-
Der what we say here, but 1t can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for us,
the living. rather to be dedicated here
10 the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly adj
vanced. 1t is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us-that from these honored
dead We take increased devotion TO
that cause for which they gave the last
full measure of devotion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain-that this nation
under God, shall have a new birth OF

BURIED THE BRAVE BOYS.
Three Firemen Killed and Dozen Injured in
a ConAagration at Montreal.
The Loss Heavy.

Montreal, Canada, Oct. 16.-The most
disastrous fire in this city for long time
occurred this afternoon, having its origin
in the building at No. 81 st. Peter street,
occupied by Gilmore & Co., importers Of
chemicals. AS a result, three firemen are
dead and a dozen or more seriously in
jured. The dead are:
Firemen King. Carpenter and Laporte
The injured are: Captain Guthrie, Cap
tain NORM, Firemen Benont, Reynolds,
Gordon, Mirault, Carest, Charpentier,
Brancheau and Bennett.
The men were in the upper loft of the
Gilmore building when it collapsed be-
meath them. Sixteen men are said to
have been in the loft, but it will probably
not be known until tomorrow whether
this is true or not. The flames spread to
Goldstein's cigar factory Kearney's tin
warehouse and a building occupied by
Johnson's Fluid Beef company. All of
these were destroyed. The chemicals in
the Gilmore building made fire so fierce
that it could not be controlled until they
were burned up. The fire was under con-
troll by 4 o'clock, but not subdued.
For the first twenty minutes of the fire
explosion after explosion occurred among
the chemicals in the Gilmore building
The loss will reach $l50,000. The build
ings are all owned by the Greynuns and
are insured.
