Many of the milis paid off the oper- atives to-day, and the work will be continued to- morrow, The average payments amoustea to not more than $8 or $10 each, A meeting on the part of the strikers tis aiternoon was at- tended by 700 or 800, and but little enthusiasm Was displayed, the majority looking gioomily on the dark prospective.

MR. BEECHER. RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT THE TWIN MOUNTAIN HOUSE—A TALK ABOUT TREASURES ON EARTH—THE MORAL DIFFICULTY OF YANKEE BRED FOLK. TWIN MOUNTAIN Hovsg, N. H., August 6, 1875, There was a large attendance at the morning prayer meeting to-day. After the singing of a hymn Mr. Beecher read and commented upon the portion of St. Mattnew’s | Gospel contained in the nineteenth and thirty- fourth verses, inclusive. THE TALK, In regard to the injunction, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth,” Mr. Beecher said that a literal /ulfiment of this would break down all things, tarn back civilization and bring in the reign of savage immorality again, but that it was not to be interpreted with rigorous literality, The substance of the matter is that no man, now- ever industrious, enterprising and successful, should make wealth the chief object of nis love ana desire, Monor is more thin money; love ts of more worth than money; manhood is far above money, and our coming self, the putting on of our heavenly self, is to be thought of, and an ambi- tion is to be laid in that rather than in the accu- | mulation of external treasure. GOD AND MAMMON, On the subject of ‘serving God and Mammon” | he remarked that a man could serve twenty mas- ters if they were all on one side, but that if mas- ters stood representing opposite principles a man | could not be on both sides at the same time, A mun cannot at. the same time serve lics and truth, or be a patriot and a traitor or live for spiritual purity ana the flesh. Almost tue hardest thing In the Bidie, he said, for Yankee- bred peopie was to unde: ndand put in prac- tice the command, “lake no thougat lor your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall ¢rink; nor yet jor your bocy, whatye sual! puton.”’ They are exercised in tais education of foretnougnt, responsivility and enterprise, and nothing by thew 1s deemed more honorable in society than the spirit of thrift and seli-care. Depending on others they discourage, aud they @ @ leverish desire to geton, A literal rendering of this com- mand, therefore, would destroy imdustry; but, while every man Js responsiole sor nis thrilt and | Well-doing, there is No pleasure greater than that of heaithy, ingenious invustry.

After afretful dritt lasting nearly tuirty hours | the New York yacht squadron arrived here from | Gien Cove to-aay at noon. Perhaps no run inthe annals of the elud could compare with it mm point of vexatious surroundings, all the elements combining to test the patience and | temper of the yachtsmen and their numerous | guests. But itis tdle to lay stress on this point, | Jor experience has long #ince proved that yacht owners must be prepared for ail sorts | of weather, calms and = squalis alike. | Howbeit, tne yachts are now riding at anchor in | the harbor, and as there 1s a fair representation | of the best craft in the club past grievances are forgotten, and the question under consideration | is how the cruise will be made successful and worthy the-great organization from the Empire State.
