‘ Last week Monday evening, between 8 and
10 o’clock, the house occupied by Mrs. Cortes
Merchant and Dr. Benedict, was burned. It
is supposed that the fire caught frmn a candle
with which a girl went into the garret a short
time previously. Considerable of the furni-
ture and wearing apparel was saved, but a
large part was destroyed. All the contents of
the garret and cellar were consumed. The
wind was light and in a favorable direction,
.so that no other building was ignited, though
a small. house stood within fifteen feet and a
new barn was very near. The neighbors soon
rallied, and as the fire was discovered very
soon after it commenced, were able ‘to do
very efficient service. There were $1,200
insurance on the building and $500 on the
furniture and wearing apparel. The loss
above the insurance is estimated at $2,000.

The Rev. Dr. Charles S. Robinson preach-
ed to the young people of his congregation
last evening, in the Presbyterian Memorial
Church, New York, on “Lying in Business.
“In my thirty years’ ministry,” said he, “I
have seen many men ruined and many
characters blasted by adherence to the theory
that a successful business cannot be conduct-
ed on a purely Christian and honest basis.
The three deacons‘who sat with me when I
took my first communion,and examined me
as to my fitness to receive the sacrament, af-
terward fell in a crash of dishonesty. The
first cheated as president of a bank. The
second followed in the same steps and blew
his brains out with a pistol. The third fled
in disgrace. Their ruin began with some
small departurefrom strict honesty in their
dealings. Others have met the same fate by
the same course. But I never saw or heard
yet of a merchant or a seam-tress who was
ruined by strictadherence toChristian princi-
pics in business—hot one."

The English sparrow is game. A gentle-
man at the Society of Natural History re-
cently related a battle he had witnessed.
The cook had thrown out some crumbs and
odds and ends from the table, and. their
savorysmellattractcd a mousc'who edged
along through the grass and nibblcd tohis
heart’s content. An English sparrow sat
above him on a branch of a sickly looking
elm, and no sooner did his keen eye note the
scrouching object bobbing through the grass
than, with a swoop, he bounced down and
darted his tiny bill into the head of the
mouse. The latter jumped and reared at
the pugn'acious bird, who was off and back
again, repeating the dose. A third and fourth
time this was dong until one of the eyes of
the mouse was picked _out, and he hobbled
along. evidently'desiring to get out of the
way. 'He no longer ran, he crawled, and
before he reached a place of safety the spar-
row had so weakened him by his persistent
pickings that he easily killed him.
