The Object OF Mans Creation-Sermon


by the Rev. Father DAILY.


The weather, bright or inauspicious, has seldom
any erect on the attendance al the Cathedral. It
was, as usual, crowded yesterday. The officiating
clergyman was the Rev. Father McNamee, and,
at the termination OF the first gospel, the Rev.
Father DAILY, who is on visit to this country from
England, preached an instructive and eloquent
sermon. He took his text from the 10th Psalm
"Praise the Lord,v &c. He dilated at length upon
the great OBJECT OF mans creation, showing that
he was placed IN this world to
know and love God and live with

existence OF the Almighty, and that having such
evidence oil His being. the only question arose
why God placed US here 1t was to know Him.

Him the better we loved Him, for good service

God In heaven; those In heaven praised and plorI.
fed Him. The Almighty had given us voice to
praise Him. and man should endeayor TO
practise here what he was to do in
the next world. The reverend gentle.
man concluded his discourse by advocating the
necessity OF prayer. Nothing could be more COM
piete or satisfactory than the choral arrangements
at the Cathedral. Instead OF encouraging in
dividual excellence, the commendabIe aim OF the
director Is evidently TO render the ensemble as
perfect as possible. The result Is appreciated IN
the grand harmony that prevails, and not the least
praiseworthy feature in the performance yesIer-
day OF MI. schmitz's mass In ID major was the
clear and correct pronunciation OF the text a
matter generally regarded elsewhere with indiner-
ence. The services terminated about half-past
twelve O'Clock.

No DISTINCTION BETwEEN ANIMALS AMI
PLANTS. In a recent lecture before the
University of Edinburg, by Professor
Wyville Thompson, the distinguished
author took occasion to say that while
the distinction between inorganic bod
les and organized beings instinct with
life appears clear, it is impossible to
draw definite line between the animal
and vegetable kingdoms. In the course
of his inquiries he discusses the fourth
kingdom of Ernest Haeckel, the Mon
era, the cells of which differ from 9TH
ers by the absence of a nucleus, and
the total want of differentiation of any
parts; and concludes that not only there
is no satisfactory basis for such fourth
kingdom, but that we must take organic
nature as whole, that the animal and
vegetable kingdoms are absolutely con-
tinuous, and that tree is scarcely dis
tinguishable from q gigantic numnulite,


only building cellulose instead of q
calcareous shell, and developing spe-
cial secretion in special organs for the
purpose OF enabling it to do so. t.

set seven years, that were as sound
when taken up as when they were first

I. Never handle a gun unless you
know how, nor suffer any person over
whom you have control to handle one,
unless he knows how. You have no
right to endanger your own life, or the
lives of others by handling dangerous
weapon in any other than the safest
manner. Fn


II. Always handle gun as if it was.
loaded; never let it point at yourself or
any else; never point loaded or an un-
loaded gun at any living thing unless
you mean to kill. i Hardly q week
elapses that the papers do not report
that some idiot has snapped q gun at
his wife or daughter, supposing it un-
loaded, and has therefore had tie mis-
fortune of killing some human being.
The gallows should rid the community
of such unmitigated fools.


III. Always carry your gun at half
cock; never with the hammer on the
cap. This rule is almost invariable
violated by countrymen.


A few experiments demonstrates it's
correctness. t.


l. Half-cock your gun; if it will 60
off in this condition, take an axe and
split the stock, bend the barrel and sell
it for old iron


2. If it will not pull off, put cap ON
the cone and let the striker down upon
it; now strike the back of the hammer
with stone or against the door iamb
and if the striker fits the cone decently
we'll the cap will be exploded. This is
what happens when man carrying a
loaded gun with the striker down upon
the cap, shoots himself while riding
in wagon, in tumbling down, or in
climbing over fence or stone wall.
3. Put cap upon the cone and let
it fall. If the handspring is good for
anything, the cap is exploded. More
accidents happen in this way than in
any other way. A gun is carried through
underbrush, dragged out of boat,
pulled on the ground by the muzzle;
your dog jumps upon you, the hammer
catched in his clothing; in either of
these and in hundred other ways, the
hammer is liable to he drawn back, al
most to half-cock, and then let fall upon
the cap. If the gun is good one an
explosion ought always to follow.
4. NOW uaH-cOck your gun, Or6W tn0
hammer back nearly to full cock and
let it fall. It will stop in the half-cock
notch, and no blow is given. So al
ways carry your gun at half-cock. IF
you cock it, expecting to get shot,
and are disappointed, hold the muzzle
up in the air, and let the lock back at
half cock. #


Nv. If you know of no other way of
ascertaining whether o gun is loaded
or not, than by putting the muzzle to
your mouth and blow, or if you feel in
clined to draw the cap, retire to safe
distance and at once blow out your
brains, if you have any, before you
main other people by your stupidity
and carelessness. ss.-1n,erican Spo,tnan.

CUTTING Tools OF CoppER.-It has
been doubted by many that the copper
tools of the ancients really possessed
the density and cutting power usually
ascribed to them. Sir Gardiner Will
kinson, however, remarks that some
Of the bronze daggers found by him in
Egyptian tombs were SO beautifully
tempered that, after being buried for
5000 years, they possessed, when dug
up, an elasticity almost equal to that
of steel. It is thus definitely proven
that the Egyptians really did possess
an art which has been lost, of making
bronze of particularly fine temper,
capable of taking and keeping sharp
edge.

The Times, of Whitehall, N. Y, says
that there is in that village family who
have little daughter two years and half
old, who has formed singular attachment
for rat. Every day this little one goes
into the wood-shed adjoining the house,
where large and venerable looking rat
makes his appearance, when the innocent
looking child proceeds to feed him from
her chubby hand. The parents have
caught their little one feeding its protege
several times of late, yet on the ap-
proach Of any other than the lit
tie girl the rat scampers off to its
hole. Several efforts have been made
by the child's parents to dispatch this sim
gular companion of their darling, for it
was feared that the child may get bitten
by it. Last Sunday the rat showed its
affection and guardian care of the little
ones comfort, as the following will show !:
The child's mother put it to sleep in its
cradle in the kitchen, going to another
room in the house, leaving the sleeping
child alone. She was gone some time. On
her return she cast her eye at the child,
when she was surprised to observe the
rat standing perched on the top of the
cradle, moving its tail over the little
sleeper. The mother, wishing to see
what the yarment was up to, stood and
watched its movements, peeping through
the door, which was only partly opened.
She observed number Of flies above the
child's face, when two lit on the little one.
whereat the kind rat whisked them off with
its tail. Wishing to make sure, the lady
quietly called her husband, and the two
stood watching the proceedings for at least
ten minutes. Every time fly dared to
alight on the little ones face, that old rat s
friendly tail would brush it away, like the
guardian angel lowering about us, who,
we believe, is constantly brushing away
dangers that threaten us poor mortals. 1t
was thought safe by the child's parents to
leave the child in charge of its strange
nurse, and for one hour the little one slept


When it awoke its mother went to take it
up, and the rat jumped from the cradle
and sped away throug the half open door
to the wood-shed. Since that time the child
has been put to sleep to ascertain if the
experiment would be repeated. Each
time, when left alone, with the shed door
partially open, the rat would enter and
take up its position above the top of the
cradle, watching the little sleeper, and
brushing away the flies who dared to
trouble its precious charge.

AS members of society, women should
come up to the highest standard of useful
ness possible. Now, this end can be at
tanned only by education. The more any
woman knows, the better she will be quail
flied to fulfill her destiny. The questions
of fitness and limitation will be settled well
enough by nature. We need not come in
with dogmatic authority and say, 'This
you shall learn; that you shall not" If
women attempt to do what they are not fit
for, they will fail. Failure will make
them wiser than any argument or set OF
rules could do. AS the object of educa-
ton is to qualify students for certain

capacity and merit. Good work will
always command its price, and get it. The
disappointment of poor and insufficient
workers will teach lesson profitable to
