MILIUN NEWS.

We have noted the demise of many
good men from Milton, aud The query
went forth at the time: How is the
community going to get along without
them ?" When Caleb Morris, of happy
memory, was called away, the question
arose. How car the church survive the
death of Mr. Morris? There is no other
man who can take his place as Local
agent and exhorter." But the church
moved on, aud is still moving. When
William A. Hazzsrd died, a cry arose
from The weak ln-the-faith that the NJ. +.
Church was doomed,as MIR Hazard WAS,
with the exception Of another, its chief
financial supporter. But Mr.. Hazard
has been dead for several years and the
church which he represented in Milton
still lives and is III a good condition as
ever. 1t is no use saying one man does
everything in the world. Huxley,iu one
Of his works, compares man to cork
pushed into pool OF water. While tits
there IL disp laces so riuch water, but pull
it ont aud ;he wafer closes the vacuum.
So it is with man, while he is around he
occupies a position, but when ne is gone
some other person takes bis llsce; and
does as well, perhaps, even better than
TIE other. No man can do aid; ;there must
be "hewers of wood and drawers Of
water Yet they all fulfill a certain
purpose, and accomplish the ends for
wlich they were created. We find this
t-ue in all animated nature, The organic
W rid lives upon itself. The cattle draw
their support from the vegetation, and
man lives upon the cattle with the vege-
t4tion. No one lives for himself alone,
neither is the community, church nor
State beholden to any one man. Andrew
Carnegie has done much good by his
charitable muuifcance, but if Andrew
Carnegie was to die some one would take
his place and do as much good as Mr.
Carnegie. This country h had million
aires galore, who have achieved wonder
full results by their liberality; and as long
as we exist as a nation, and ON right prin-
ciple. we shall have many more. When
one steps out another will step in; and
so it will be to the end of time. We give
due credit to all persons endowed with
philanthropic principles, whittier they
have means to express their endowments
bv their liberality or not. 1t is the dis
position to do that makes the "man, the
want of it the fellow" We need not be
uneasy that the church will gOintoa state
of decadence for want of support; for
when one influential man steps out. an
other will be raised up to step in.

DIR. R. B. Hopkins agent for the Kent
County Mutual Insurance Company, ha:
been visifingth several summer kitchens
and smoke houses about town. And
where th- stove pipes are run through
the wall of the building he has ordered
the practice stopped, and where it is run
through the roof, or where the chimney
goes from the upper floor to the roof, he
has given notice that the practice mus
be discontinued, and the chimneys run
from the ground. The insurance is al
