As we have said, these gentlemen have done a big business, and deserve a large share of public patronage. They keep splen did stocks, sell at remarkably low prices, and never fail to please.

It is to lie started in a few days under the firm name of L. M. Lyneh A Co. It is a variety grocery, in connection with which is a bakery and candy man ufactory. Mr. Lynch will devote his attention to the store, while Mr. John Gallie—an experienced baker and can dy manufacturer—will run the other department.

The managers of the festival gift enterprise gave to the members of the companies from live to twenty-live tickets each to he sold—all unsold to be returned the day of the drawing. Among others Mr. Louis Wells was given twenty-live, numbering 401 to 425. Yesterday the managers called on Mr. Wells with all the others who had sold, for a settlement, when he reported he had sold only eleven and had forgot ten to return the balance. He paid over five dollars and fifty cents and returned the fourteen unsold tickets. Among them was found 424. which was the number that drew the gold watch valued at 8550. The watch of course was drawn by the companies, as the ticket that drew it was unsold. It all shows there's aheap in luck. Why did not buyers think of 424? They might have known it would have been lucky. We understand that a grand military hop is contemplated for some night this week, and as the companies have no use for the watch, would it not be a good idia to sell tickets, and as each person enters the room to deposit a coupon in a box. and during the even ing let some lady draw from the box and the time piece be the prize fora fortunate possessor of a lucky num ber.

Yesterday a gentleman received an India rubber finger, which is intended to and does represent a finger of flesh and bone that has been severely mashed. This gentleman being fond of “catch ing” people could not forego the fun of laughing at the expense of others. He attached this imitation to his hand and went in search of physicians to ask their aid in relieving him. Each and every doctor to whom lie went groaned with sympathy, when they beheld the crush ed limb. One proposed to cut it oft’, another to apply an external remedy and still another to inject morphine. One of them swore that “every bone in it" was broken and that lie was maimed for life. He met a prominent Granger, who poured cold water on it one half hour. Just imagine the feelings of these as well as many more when the “true inwardness” was exposed. Some grew belligerent and had to be held from the joker. He Couldn't Find the Powloftlee, A certain dry goods merchant cm- ploped a clerk, from the country, who had never lived in the city before. The first day lie was told to go to the post- office, and oil' he went, not know ing which way to start. After wandering aroung for sometime he asked a negro if he knew where the postofflee was. The colored “gemen” halted for a mo ment, and eying him curiously for a while, said: “Umpli, jist wish I had as many dollars as I know wliar de pose offis is.” After saying this the colored brother walked on without giving the gentleman from the rural districts the desired information. He supposed the man was only trying to see if he knew and did not want any information at all. The office was found at last and the mail delivered to the boss.

London Cablegram to the Sew York Herald, December 24/A] Dean Stanley preached a long and eloquent sermon to a large congrega tion at Westminster yesterday. The sermon is likely to attract a good deal of attention here and perhaps to create controversy. The views ex pressed were, in fact, as broad as those of Beecher or Frothiugham, and will draw down on the dean the first of all the rigid and strait-laced dogmatists in the English church, who raise the cry of “infidelity” at even,” expression which savers of lib eralism in religion. In the course of the sermon Dean Stanley said: “All goodness belongs to Christ, regardless of creed or church. Christ’s cross is everywhere. It belongs to no sect, and the true church knows no Turkey, no Russia.” These are but a few specimens of the liberal ideas expressed by the eloquent preacher, and his sermon throughout was full of expressions calculated to provoke hostile comment on the part of the champions of orthordoxy.. CANON EARRAIt ON HELL. Canon Farrar, the distinguished English preacher, recently said in Westminster Abbey: “Having quo ted from the Bible the words ‘hell,’ ‘damnation’, ‘everlasting,’ I say udhesitatingly, I say with fullest right to speak, and with the necessary knowledge; I say with the calmest and most unflinching sense of responsibility, standing here in the 'sight of Got! and our Saviour, and it may be of the angels and spir its of the dead, that not one of these words ought to stand any longer in our English Bible; and that, being in our present acceptation of them sim ply mistranslations, they most un questionably will not stand in the revised version of the Bible, if the revisers have understood their duty.” Having pointed out that there are in the main three classes of men— saints, reprobates and that vast inter mediate state lying between, yet shading oft’ by infinite gradations from these two extremes—Canon Farrar, after, in an eloquent passage, thanking God for the first class asked: What of the reprobates ? What of the other extreme ? If you ask me whether I must not believe in endless torments for these reprobates of earth, I answer, aye for them and for thee, and forme too, until we have learned with all our hearts to love good and not evil. I know that for these rep robates Christ died. The bigot may judge their souls if he will; the Phar isee may consign them,with orthodox equanimity, to endless torments; hut I cannot—will not. Not mine, at any rate, shall it be to close against them, with impetuous recoil and jarring sound, those gates of hell lest they should be more justly closed upon me; but I commend them with humblest hope even after this life of hopelessness, to Him who did not loathe the whiteness of the leper, and who suffered the woman who was a sinner to wash His feet with tears. God’s Spirit lias nowhere taught us that He who gave cannot give back; that He who once made them inno cent children cannot restore their innocence again; that He who created them—He who wills them to be saved —cannot recreate them in His own image, cannot obliterate all their vileness in the blood of Christ, and increate their sins. But the vast mass of mankind belong to the third class. They are not utter reprobates, they are not perfect saints. They try to face both ways. They halt between two opinions. The angel has them by the hand and the serpent by the heart. And it is those who do try to he God’s chil dren who realize their own excessive sinfulness. Having shown how many of the saintliest and tenderest souls had been driven over to mad ness, as Cowper was, by the false view of God which is given by the pitiless anathemas of man, Canon Farrar asked his hearers if, when they buried relatives or friends who had not been holy or religious, they dared consign them, even in their thoughts, to the unending anguish of the popular creed they taught ? An arbitrary infliction of burning tor ment, nil endless agony, a material hell of worm and flame, a (loom to everlasting sin, and all this with no prospect of amendment, with no hope of relief, the soul’s transgres sions of a few brief hours of strug gling tempted life followed by billions of millennium in scorching tire, and all this meant not to correct, but to harden, not to amend, hut to torture and to degrade—did you be lieve in that for any one whom you have ever loved ? Again, I say, God forbid! Again, J say, 1 fling from me, with abhorrence such a creed as that. Let every Pharisee gnash his teeth as he will; let every dogmatist anathematize ; but that I cannot and do not believe. Scripture will not let me; my conscience, my reason, my faith in Christ, the voice of the spirit within my soul, will not let me ; God will not let me ! SHALL HELL BE OMITTED FROM TIIE BIBLE. X>'w York Sun.} While the Congregationalists in this country are discussing the ques tion whether there is a hell or not, Canon Farrar, of Westminster Abbey, is agitating the Church of England by declaring that the word ought to be left out of the Bible altogether. He would get rid not only of the word hell, but also of the words damnation and everlasting, as applied to punish ment after death. This is certainly a startling propo sition, for no words in the Scriptures have had more effect on sinners and on religious creeds than these very ones. The doctrine that everlasting damnation will be the fate of the im penitent and unbelieving has been preached and taught forages. It has been implicitly believed by millions of Christians, and has disturbed the peace of mind of other millions of wicked men, not drawn into the fold of the church. The dread of hell and the desire to participate in the joys of heaven have been among the most powerful influences in bringing men to seek refuge in the Christian faith. They have made of religion some thing which secures a practical gain hereafter, and provides security against an awful punishment, which lasts through eternity. Even though the devout believer suffered on earth, he felt that his sorrows were utterly insignificant, in comparison with the anguish of the unredeemed gnashing their teeth in the place of torment. The thought of hell was as terrible to him as the conception of celestial companionship was delightful. If, therefore, you expunge the words-hell, damnation, and everlast ing from the Bible, and substitute, as Canon Farrar proposes, more agreea ble terms, suggestive of limited pun ishment or a simple schooling for eternal happiness, you change essen tially the fabric of Christianity. If the words we have been accustomed to use to describe the fate of the wick ed are, as Canon Farrar says, mis translations, which ought not to stand any longer in our English Bible, then it will become necessary to revise the old creeds, so that they shall hereaf ter teach Universalism. If hell is not a place of everlasting punishment, but only a temporary state of correc tion and purification, the orthodox scheme of salvation is based on false hood and must speedily go to pieces. The startling remarks of Canon Farrar become of great significance when we remember that they were addressed to the learned doctors who are now engaged at Westminster Abbey in revising the English Bible. Did the speaker utter their convic tions as well as his own, and fore shadow what they are going to do ? It has long been* conceded that the riper scholarship now available could improve the version of the Scriptures made by King Janies’ translators. The work of the revision, therefore, began several years ago, though many devout men feared that the result of it would he to imperil the old rever ence in the Holy Book. It is well known that the textual revision alone is likely to effect some impor tant changes, perhaps resulting in the excision of passages consecrated in the memory of Christians; but we now first hear that the scholars of Westminster may take the old fash ioned hell out of the Bible and write away eternal damnation. This is something to set English and American orthodox Protestants thinking very seriously. Are they prepared to give up the old faith, and to accept that of Universalism? Moreover, what is to be the effect on men of the dissipation of a doctrine so long taught and so powerful in its appeal to the mind ? A. B. Malonv, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa., say's: “I find Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup excellent, having a ready sale and rendering more satisfaction than any Cough Syrup I have ever sold.” HOTEIj arrivals. Rankin llouir.
