preached an admirable sermon upon the St. Jobn fire, shortly after its occurrence. He choose for his text Luke xm, 2 & 3, and dwelt upon the practical lessons de- rivable from the calamity. ‘* Unchecked prosperity,’’ said His Lordship, ‘‘ corrupts and enfeebles the mind, as surely as a constantly hot climate enervates the body,”

Now is the time for the plainer living and higher thinking; for contracting no debts we cannot in reason hope to pay for ; for remembering, tiat to give orders for goods which fill the merchant with dread, because he knows he cannot pay for them, is A great robbery, only more geateely ex- ecuted,as that which was committed in the squares of St. John, when the goods rescued from the flames, and deposited there for safety, were secretly stolen by base plunderers, ‘ill Christians come to understand that debts thus ill-contracted and undischarged, are ill-disguised rob- bery, and that the practice is entirely ins consistent with the Christian character. they have not learned the elements of the religion they profess. Their prayers, thei alms,and their communions are of no value in the sight of God,

Nor is it dishonesty only which is to be esched, Carelessness is commonly re- garded as a venial fault; but it is far otherwise, when it involves the destruction of the property, perhaps of the lives, of our neighbors. It is want of love, as well as of prudence and consideration, It is com-~ monly met by the confident statement, that ifour houses are burned, we are. at all events, well insured; which is a piece of daring villany, if we wilfully set them on fire ; and of gross unfairness, if we take from a society, formed for the common protection, what, with a little careful management, we need not have required. Robbery of an insurance company is as bad as any robbery; and | fear it is a proof of the deterioration of public morals, that in suits between individuals and corporations, the verdict is almost always given against the company,as if there were a foregone conclusion in men’s minds, that, right or wrong, the richer party muat, pay: against which unrighteous feeling we may set the inspired sentence, “ Thou shalt not coun- tenance a poor man in his cause ;” that is, [ presume, to do an unjust act. It is his jus not his poverty, that entities him to a verdict in his favor.

Nor ought we to forget the lesson, that sentiment without reason, and mere ex. citement, are of little value, either in our temporal misfortune or in our Spiritual progress, We have all been terribly ex: cited by this raging fire. Yet of what avail was the sensation ? Now it is all over and the results are to be seen, and are yet to come,—we want the calme:t and the soundest judgment, the manliest resolu- tion, the most untiring perseverance: and the power to discriminate, even in our charity, between what may satisfy greedy and importunate claimants, or may per- manently benefit suftering thousands, and subserve the welfare of the whole com- munity,

What a grand opening for enterprise there is in the line of cattle-breeding. One cannot read the account of the sale of Senator Cochrane’s Short Horns in Eng: land without wondering why our people do not enter more largely than they do into a business which has as little risk and as great profit as any. Mr. Cochrane sent forty-three cattle to England. They were sold for £17,000 sterling—over $80,000— at auction—amidst great enthusiasm of the spectators. One heifer actually brought 4,300 guineas. These may be called fancy prices, Never mind; if people are willing to give them tat’s enough. Where there’s a demand there ought to be a supply. Nova Scotia farmers ought to imitate the farmers and breeders of West Canada. Surely in sheep and cattlewe could do better than we do. [t would do our farm- ers good if they would just take advants age of the cheap fares and run up to West - ern Ontario and see the vim and vigor thrown into all farming operations, For sheep grazing Nova Scotia is well adapted, and where there is one sheep now there ought to be ten—-and those ten of the best breeds and not scraggy animals. The Agri. cultural Exhibition at Truro, with all simi-« lar exhibitions, ought to operate as a stimulus to our farming population With the farmers as with all others ‘ advance”’ ought to be the motto.

We clip the above from the Halifax Jie. porter, Our farmers miget learn a lesson, too.

Sitting Bull, with 1000 warriors, is in the heart of the Canadian Buftalo country, near Wogd Mountains.
