The trials and affiictions which befall mankind inthis world are not the result of accident or of circumstances, bat are the visitations of God. It is well for us that Weare unable to read the future; for if we could do so, it would not only disbearten and overwhelm us, but it would Sedvar minds away from God, and we should cease to trust Him for whet is to come. By our uncertainty we are ir.ven to His footstool in prayer and a agen lor grace to meet the various trials which we may be called on to undergo. and we are thereby pre- ey to overcome, through faith and trust in od, the difficulties and temptations to which we May be ex If we all knew wh: should befall us we should not so much require a guide, and we should very soon learn to ignore the assis- tance of qur Heavenly Father, and to rush blindly forth, trusting to our own ability alone. Waugh Chapel —Rev. W. H. Black preached from Matthew, 4.11. The temptations of our Sa- Viour en the mountain were but the fulfillment ef promise and prophecy. By overcoming Satan. then the seed of the woman bruised the serpent’s head, while the devil by bis temptation bruised the beel. Temptations were but to try our faith. Sin did not consist in the temptation, but only “ensued when evil thoughts were indulged in and =cquilescence made to the allurements of the ad- wersary. Many were guilty of presumptuous sins, and offended God by tru ng too much upon bh mercy. Men often recklessly expose themselves to danger with the foolish idea that God would Preserve them in their presumption. This was as sinfuland displeasing to God as actual trans- gression, and exposed the person to divine wrath. Wesley Chapel —The tor, Rev. Mr. McCau- ley, being absent at the Baltimore Conference, the pulpit was occupied inthe mornin® by Rev. Dr. Mill, of the Baptist Church, who delivered an {n- Jeremiah, 2911.

Correspondence of The Star Gronexrown, March 23, 1861. Sy eeepc pene eqn the Board of Aldermen passed the market-bouss ordinance. Also, resolutions for paving a gutter on Congress, between West and Stoddard streets; to pay room rent and fuel for lastelection; in favor of Wm. H. Chamberlain, and granting W. C Templeton the privilege of erecting a stable at the western termination of t street In the Board of Common Connc!! the following petitions were referred: From Jobn Moore, asking exemption from payment of the gas tax levied on his premises on Jefferson street, because that street is not lighted; from W. 8. Busey, complaining of the stoppage of a drain leading from his prem ises on Congress street, thus creating a nuisance: from W. C. Templeton, asking the privilege of erecting a stable at the western termination of Prospect street; from John Marbury and J. D Bright, asking for footways on Road street. near the cemetery gate, and offering to bear one half the expense; and one from Cook & O’ Day, stating that they have certificates of indebtedness of the pee appr sage dated October 1, 1569, amounting to , for work done on High street more than one year ago, and as they cannot afford to wait until the street tax is collected, asking the Corpo- ration to issue stock for the amount, as was done in the cases of the Gas Light Co. and W. T. Duval, so that they will not have ‘to wait for the on.” r. Libbey asked the discharge of the commit- tee on grievances from further consideration of the petition of Leonidas Knowles, asking exemp- tion from the gaslight tax; and the committee was so discharged. Mr. Bangs offered a — resolution directing the committee on the market-house to inguire as to the expediency and cost of erecting a new market-house; a Mr. Bangs rose toa privileged question. He bad read in the Baltimore American a day or two ago that our town was ina distracted condition, one ward baving seceded. The article was copied, he believed, from the Evening Star. He saw some friends here to-night from that ward, (turning to the lobby, which wes rather crowded.) and hoped they bad not come bere to-night to take possession. When members read |) they Were no doubt astonished to learn that so many Were engaged ina bad cause. He hi seces- sion would not raise its front in this town. But asthe matter of the election of a policeman on that occasion was misunderstood would ex- plain. There was only one applicant residing in the Third Ward, and his name was read wrongly Another candi: promised to move into the third precinct if elected, and having only two candidates, the last was elected. He hoped the explanation would prove satisfactory. Marbury said that the policeman elected on that occasion has already moved into the third precinct, and therefore there is no reason now for secession. Resolutions in favor of J. Conner, —— Bur- dette, Bogue & Donnelly, J.T. Bangs, W.H. ———— and Basil M. Burrows, were sev- The resolution granting permission to Mr. Tem- pleton to erect a stable at the western termination of Prospect street, was after a warm de- bate, being advocated by Mr. Marbury and op- posed by Messrs. Bangs and Newman. Grorcrtown, D. C., March 25. The citizens of Washington and Georgetown will be gratified to learn that operations will be fully resumed on all unfinished ‘ions of the Washington Aqueduct at an early day. From the well-known energetic character of the En- gineer in charge, and his assistants, we have reason to believe that the work will be completed in the shortest possible time. The earth work of the Vaprikeg 4 Reservoir was recommenced last week (Capt eigs himself removing the first shovelful) and there are now employed at that int about one hundred and fifty laborers and a large number of horses and carts, and we are in- formed that the force is to be increased as re- quired. The work is being done by the Govern- ment, and the large number of men and teams employed are divided into several g: , each t the immediate direction of a foreman This requires the services of an efficient clerk and accountant, and we are pleased to learn that Mr. Jas. A. Mayroder of thi is city, ay. of ryland,) has been a to that position o better selection could have been made. Pro- posals are being received until noon to-day for the completion of masonry of gate-houses, screw- well. &c ,&c., at this Reservoir, and the contrac- tors will be-required to finish all the work before the first of August next. Mr. McIntyre, contractor for-masonry of Cabin John bridge, is making satisfactor: progress with his work, we understand, and Hf is stated that the contractors for the mzsonry of bridge No. 6 (across Rock Creek) will recommence in a short time. Work at other points is either already under way or will be commenced at an early day. Onur citizers, with but few exceptions, were gratified at the act of justice, tardy though it wes, of the late Administration, in recalling Capt. Meiys to take charge of the work which will endure for ages as a monument of Lis engineering skill and administrative ebility. Those competent > jedse “7 that, for boldness and beauty of design, excellence of workmanship, and economy of construction, the Washington Aqueduct will compare favorably with other works of the kind in this conntry or Europe. If such structures as the tubular bridge across Rock Creek and the stone bridge at Cabin John (a magnificent arch, ef greater span than any other in the world—bullt pon a centering which is of itself a study for simplicity and stresgth)—if such structures were built in rope, our citizens would be more familiar with them than with these works at their very doors, for descriptions and views would be sates broadcast throughout the civilized world.
