who are too lazy TO put on bathing
clothes Is to stand on the sand and
watch the pranks Of those who are
afraid OF the smallest wave and con-
ssquently get led into all sorts Of fun
ny predieaments. Then there is the
grand army OF ladies, proud of those
"fine forms" which the water would
completely deprive Of all shape.
They stand by and criticize their
more Venturesome sisters who dare
the waves, but can't swim q stroke,
and st some time or another are
bound to make q laughing stock Of
dozen first-class lady bathers upon
the beach. Not more. They
are the envy Of the countless
ungrAceful ones. They go out up
to their necks, float over the big
waves like so many ducks, and, Oi
course, attract attention wherever


they go. They have learned only
what all ladies might learn in 3 few
hours. The trouble Is the fair eres-
lures, as q class, are too timid To
throw themselves on their backs and
teach themselves in five minutes
what q whole season of envy wouldn't
accomplish. But no. They see 9

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens ad-
dressed the children OF St. James
Siderable length on Sunday afternoon
last, and gave them some excellent
advice. In concluding, he told the
boys if they had aspirations for pu0-
lie position, they should seek it only
to do good TO others that they should
have no other object than to confer
blessings upon their neighbOrs, and
that they should never seek to be
greater than they are good. In the
course OF his remarks he said: Nov,
children, want the humblest and
youngest, and every one to under
stand that there is a spirit going
abroad in this age, inculcating in the
minds Of the philosophers, sO-called,
the idea that man, after all, is only
made up of matter. They are called
mRterialists. These taschers-I may
be pardOned for calling the names Of
some Of them, Spencer and Huxley
their whole philosophy is that there
is no difference between q man and
horse or q dog, and that it is all mat
ter, and when q man dies, his exist
ence, life, passes away, becomes eX-
tinct forever, and that he passes into
the grave just as an inferior animal.
What want to impress upon you,
children, is that the orscles of God, as
given by Moses and handed down by
time immemorisl, teaches no such
doctrine. Little girls, little boys,
never entertain the idea that there
is no difference between you and
the dog, or q horse, or the animal
that is above you. Recollect that
In the first chapter of the Bible
you are taught that into man was
breathed q living soul, an immortal
spirit, that is 20 live hereafter. These
philosophers that l speak Of are at
this time doing more mischief, more
harm to the world, than any other class
of men ever did. They do not under
stand this doctrine that wish to inn
press upon these teachers and upon
this age; the mistake they make be-
tween the organization of nature and
the creation OF mRn-that he was the
highest type Of creation, and into him
was breathed living soul that stamps
upon him immortality. 1t is the doc

PLAoUKMIsE, October 16, 1873


Editor Morning Star:


With ms the year 1873 is proving sad and


sorrowful. Abont the 5th Of August the yellow


fever was declared to exist here, aud eince that


time it has continued with unabated fury


The population of our town and suburbs num-


be,s scarcely two Thousand souls. Ont of this


number the doc report havip & treated over


one thousand persons, or more than half of the
| whole population Of which about one hundred
and fifteen have gone to their long account


Four died here since yesterday.


| For about a month past the fever has been
extending over the country and is now beoom-
ing general along whole sections of the coast.
The whole Of oar parish on the east bank Of
the river, some thirty miles in length, is now
severely stfiicted with this dreadful scourge
and many are dying.


Among the recent sick there was the Rev.
Father Dubernard, the beloved Pastor Of St.
Gabriers Church. I am happy to say, how
ever, he is doing better. DR.. Hall, the resident
ply sicisn, is also siok.


The destftution throughout our country was
great, ara the want ard misery this direful
epidemic has produced are evident on ell sides
What made things so much worse, this epi-
demic came upon Us with q panic, which we
may truly call the work of the Devil In times
gone by no such dread was shown. This year,
however, city was quarantned against city,
town against town. neighborbood against
neighborhood and house against house, and
hence many have suffered. Itis right to avoid
contsgon and disease, but where We do 80 at
the expense of common humanity and Christian
charity, prudence blackens.


The relief afforded by the great charity Of
our common country during this epidemic few
can fully realize. Thousands have been en-
coursged and helped by the liberal donations
which have come from the more favored por-
tiors of our country to the help Of our
stricken valley" and yet they come. grieve
to gay they are still necessary. There are
many sick, and some in the greatest need are
among those who take sick now. Nothing In
the way of general work or business has been
doing about the towns and shops for sometime,
and those who depended on the work in these
places find their little savings gone Hence
the help of the Howsrds is most opportune.
May God bless those who 50 literally enable
them to carry Oh their good 1otk.

Romors are sfloat in Ireland that the Duke
of Connaught will, before very much longer,
be appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and
that the announcement may be looked for
shortly after he ia married. How much truth
there may be in these reports it is difficult to
conjecture. His Royal Highness's nomination
would give him and his bride Royal Court,
an easy round Of duties, and a salary of t4o. :
600 year. Such an appointment seems not
improbable after the selection of the Marquis
of Lorne and the Princess Louise to ascend the
proconsular dsis in Canada.

regards us as one OF the "Honorable
men" referred to; all of which we
take as complimentary, considering
the fact that when he strikes at us in
that way he includes every one Of the
county officers recently elected. He
seems TO consider himself one of the
"Press" crew, which is proper
enough, but We think he includes
one or two defeated candidates who
would hardly take passage with them.
We are at loss to know what he is
driving at; but publish his produc-

doesn't harm anybody. About the
only real hit he makes is where he
recognizes Mr.. Bradshsw as the pilot

this was unintentional, as it perhaps
grew out of the already formed habit
on the part Of the "Press" gang to
look upon that gentleman as their

SICKNESS AND WANT AT ST. ELIzABETH's
AsYLUM-A visit just paid to the st. Eliza
| beth Asylum, on Napoleon Avenue, reveals the
following Three of the Sisters and some of
the children are down with the fever. Two of
the children have died. The only income at
present is from the labor of wesAing. The
revenue from other sources has been cut Off by
the effects of the prevailing epidemic. Many
persons have fed from the city owing the Asy-


lum sums of money, and others who had been


benefactors were frightened away by the spread
of the fever. The Sister Superoress shows


bills for sir thousand dollars due for bread
alone Tho sums due for meat and other essen
tials are proportionately large. Moreover the


Institution was obliged last year to fight
against siege of smallpox, which led to the
destruction by fire, for safety sake, of beds and


bedding for seventy-fve children. This pro-
perty having been bit partially replaced,


creates a want by which many of the children
are exposed to other forms of sickness during


the several months of winter weather abont to
