LAWS OF NOTION.

Motion is the handspring OF the
all created things. The sun and m0cn,
with all the shining considerations
that surround them, move silently
onward in space, revolving in ther or
bits with perfect harmony; there is
no likeness OF clashing in the ETHEREAL
spheres among these active lumina-
ries. Vegetation in its vital germs
pierces the earth, and springs forth
to inhale the sunshine and drink the
dew. With nuiscless motion its
leaves and petals unfold, its blossoms
expand, its fruit forms, ripens, then
invites US TO pluck it, Onward move
ment is the law OF all inanimate Gre
alton, even the solid earth, the gran
lite rocks and everlasting hills are con
stantly moving.
The different order Of brutcs, the
feathered armies, and the insect tribes
are in continual restless agitation.
Yet amid all this moving mass there
are stagnant spots, only made So by
the presence Of lazy human beings.
There is no need for me to work;
Eve got money enough to keep me
from it," says one. or Labor is mean,
beneath the dignity OF Il lady or gem
tlcman." This is the veriest sophis-
try. Why, my friend, il you owned
millions, you have no light TO be Il
drone in the human hive. While all
nature travels on in a swift journey,
for you to clog the chariot wheels or
throw your ugly carcass acr0S the
way, is a positive nuisance. ] know
people are prone to worship the gold
en- calf, but they do not pay court to
you; it is only your money, aud il that
takes wings they, like tile Levite and
the priest, will pass by on the other
side. Up and be doing, We idle NOR
tails! Shake off your ig1oble sloth,
and assert your manhood in the face
Of toadyism, If you happen to have
wealth, it will receive greater value
from the nobility Of it's owner. Boys
and girls, treasure your moments,
keep the brain in motion. Garner
now in your sunny harvest time. IA
store Of knowledge for this cannot fly
away, but will shine brighter aud
brighter rs you travel on. Even if
riches decay, nonors fail, friends are
gone, and clouds surround you. the
knowledge and wisdom CLEANED in
youth is mingled with your Eeing and
can never be taken from you.

Guilford made his argument for the
quashing of the indictment charging
his client with murder in the second
degree I'm connection with the death Of
Emma Gill OF Southington. In support
of his motion To quash the indictment
Attorney Klein argued that the ab

said that no one attempted TO sal that
his client had been guilty OF attempt

lowed by the state since the courts
were established.
The arguments occupied between tive
and three hours, and Judge Wheelel

ST. vINCENTS GUILD


The 18th anniversary OF st. Nincents
guild OF boys and young men connected
with st. stephens parish was observed
at the evening service i'm ST. stephens
church last evening. Rev. Henry Nj.
Torbet, rector of st. Stephens church,
Boston. preached from the text Re
member now thy Creator in the days
of thy youth"
He said I'm substance that what is
needed Is not so much the preaching OF
Christ from the pulpit. as that II should
be shown that a Christian life can be
made practical. He sketched briefly
the life OF ST. Vincent, the patron saint
of the guild telling Interestingly of the
young mans devotion to the church
and his bringing up by his bishop, who
was banished by the emperor, and
finally of St Nincenets martyrdom FOR
the faith. From this story the speaker
drew the lesson that there Is nothing
SO beautiful as "a young man early IN
life standing out FOR. true religion. In
church life the children should be care
fully instructed, and the early impress
sion and truths received Will hardly be
removed i'm later life.
The preacher emphasized the impor-
portance of right training i'm youth, for
who are To be the strength of the
church i'm the future. said he, but the
boys of today? IL is the purpose OF
God he said. that through personality
the church shall be handed down from
one generation To another, and the
strength and leadership OF the church
must be found in men.
