Only a few nights ago I dis- covered, as I passed through my hall, a strong smell of gus, and traced it to a room where a countryman and his child had been assigned biut a few hours be- fore. The door was s00n burst open, and two unconseious forms were found ina repose which would have ended in death if the discovery had been made two hours later. When the man was resus- citated I asked him what he meant by turning the gas on after it had been put out. ““I give you my word, sir,' he said, carnestly, ‘that I blew the gas out, und nluln t touch the pipe afterward.’ ““When I told him what a mistake he had made and what a lucky escape he had had, his joy was unbounded, and b tween his sobs and exuling cries of joy he hugged and carvessed the little boy with him, who was just coming out from the effects of the gas, as if all heaven were his at that moment. “If you will take the trouble to visit the other lurge hotelsof Bostondn which gas is used inthe rooms, I think you will lind that the ratio of rescues to death is at least 25 to 1.

MACKEY'S SPLENDID SERMON ictures the Pluck of Amoeriean Merchants —Delivers & Disconsse in the Evening on the Sulject Intolerance— His Remarks in Rev. T. J. Mackey of the All Saints church delivered a sermon at the morning services in his church yesterday, of encour- agement to business men, in view of the financial storm through which they are now passing. He expressed great sympathy for the men, who, inspite of every effort, have failed to weather the storm, and exhorted them not to become discouraged, for tho true great- ness of man is shown in adversity, *In war a_retreat in the presence of the enemy, skillfully and safely-accomplished, is considered the highest evidenco of good gen- h said the rector. *‘He who 1s able all'and collect his shattered forces, and in the midst of his anguish of mind, to so place them that they can retreat without further sericus loss, has shown himself to be worthy of his g trust, und exhibited un- doubted proof of true greatuess of intellect. 50, too, in business life, the man whom we respect and honor is not he who, when fmis- fortune overtakes him, sits down to bewail his loss, but he who facy his il fortunes, and 8ol to work with willing hands and heart to retrieve what he had lost. So, too, in the morai life there are men who are mor- ally good and upright as long as the winds of “prosperity attend them, but when the gales of misfortune strike them they give themselves up to recklessness of life—let loose all the eyil impulses of their nature and sk from bad to worse, pitied by their fellow men, but really unworthy of that pity, for they faled to recognize their true dignity—the true greatness of man—as sons of God, made in the image of God-—and as such, striviug 8o to love, that whether basking in the sunshine of prosperity op borne down by distressing grief they could quit themselves men, knowing that here they have no abiding city nowing that \d tribulations are a part of the true Mwuvlmu of life, and which, rightly borne, will bring forth in proportion the brightest s 01 character aud disposition. e true greatness of man consists in doing his whole duty in that state of life into which God catled him, not blindly working out his destiny, but a8 a in the image of God, faithfully sti make hims of his holy heritage, meeting a ¢ summoning the scattered forces of the soul when misfortunc assails.
