TALMAGI i j THE EHOOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN DAY SERMON. Subject:— “ The City Streets.” Text . “ Wisdom rrieth without; she vt» tereth her voice in the street** —Frov. i., 20. We are nil ready to listen to the voices of nature—the voices of the mountain, the voices of the sea, the voice* of the storm, the voicon of the star. As in some of the cathedrals in Europe there is an organ at either end of the building, and the one instrument renj^omls musically to the other, so in the great cathedral of nature day responds to day, and night to night, and flower to flower, and star to star, in the great harmonies of the universe. The spring time is an evangelist in blossoms preaching of God's love; and the winter is a prophet—white bearded— denouncing all woe listen against our voices sins. Wc are ready to to tile of nature; but how few of m I earn anything from the voices of the noisy and dusty street. You go to your merchandise, and your mech¬ anism, and to your work, and you come back again and often with an indifferent heart you things pass through the street*. Are there no for us to learn from these pavements over which we pans? Are there no tufts of truih growing up between tlicse cobblestones, Ix'/iten with tiie feet of toil, arid pain, and pleasure, the slow tread of old age, and the quick step of childhood? A ye, there are great harvests to bo reap'd; and now I trust iri the sickle Uscauae the harvest is ripo. “Wisdom crielh without; she uttereth her voice in the streets.” In the first place the street impresses me with the fact that this life is a scene of toil and struggle.

All this is not because men love toil.

In his very !<est wine there is a smack of the js>or man's sweat. Oh! is it strange that when a man has devoured widows’ houses, he is disturbed with indigestion? All the forces of nature are against him. The floods are ready to drown him. and the earthquake to swallow him, and the fires to consume him, and the lightnings to smite him. Rut the children of God are on every stnvd, and in the day when the crowns of heaven are distributed, some of the brightest will be given to those men who were faithful to God ami faithful to the souls of others ntnid the marts of busi¬ ness, proving themselves the heroes of the street.

Ono cold winter's day, as a Carin¬ tian mau was goiug along the Battery in New York, ho raw a little girl seated at’the gate, shivering in the cold.

A great fills those boulevards and the streets are a-rush with the chariots of conquerors. The inhabitants go up aiul down, but they never weep and they never toil.

A FATAL LAND SLIDE, Part of the Heights of Quebec Fall on the Houses Below. Many Homes Demolished and People Killed and Injured A landslide occurred at Quebec from the face of Cape Diamond, below the Citadel, at twenty minutes past seven in the evening, crushing the houses beneath it and imprison¬ ing the inmates below the debris, which was piled to a height, in some cases, of twenty to thirty feet over the houses which were stand¬ ing below. Two fearful days of rain and flood succeed¬ ing a month of dry weather filled the crevi¬ ces of the soil immediately below and beyond the southern extremity of Dufferm Terrace, and an enormous mass was detached from the cliff, and hurled as with the noise of many thunders, slowly and majestically at first, but rapidly increasing in momentum through its slide of a couple of hundred feet, over the retaining wall, and crushing pushing half a dozen houses beneath out of its way most of them its weight as though Some they had been so many paper boxes. of those who saw the slide were standing at the doors of their houses, and were too paralyzed to move out of its way. Others ran to a place of safety. The debris of rock tilled up the narrow street to communication the depth of some thirty feet and cut off all between the portions of the city north and south of it. On the wharves behind where the houses had stood. scattered timbers and th ,j tc.; th and rock that i ja&’SS^’WttSa^K them and the river. I tween The river policemen, whose station is close by, and t he city police from Champlain Market were among the first to rush to the relief of the imprisoned, tire wounded and the dying sufferers. As soon as an idea was ob¬ tained of the extent of the dis¬ aster the whole force of municipal police was turned out to render assistance, anrl Chief Colonel Yohl applied to B Batterr at the Citadel for nssistan " '. A strong force of th Q military, under command of Major Wilson, turned out to aid in the removal of thflsdebris. Fire broke out almost immediate¬ ly in some of the ruins, but the brigade when summoned soon extinguished the ’lames and set to work to assist in the search for the dead and dying. Nearly all and the did doctors of the c:ty were in attendance all that was possible for the relief of the sufferers, for whom, in the absence of the Mayor from the city, stimu¬ lants were promptly obtained in the name of the city. Quebec’s famous promenade, Dufferin Ter¬ race, has been fearfully shaken by the slide, especially which that portion almost of it lying" nearest the Citadel, overhangs the cliff whence the land slide fell. Between the two last?kiosks it has parted so much from the rock to which it clings that it has been con¬ demned and closed to traffic by order of the City Engineer, there being also a wide rent in the rocks between it and the Citadel. The mass of rock detached from the cliffs’ side left a vacant space of extraordinary di¬ mensions. The houses in that locality were built of stone and brick, and inhabited by ship laborers, officers etc. and Royal School The men of the of Cavalry and the Redemptorist picks Fathers went to the rescue with ropes, and shovels. About fiOO men were put to work. tlielfilled Tike damage is estimated at flOO.OOO, and aud injured at about fifty. THE LABOS WORLD.

The National Textile Workers’ Union, which holds a charter in the American Fede¬ ration of Labor, now has a membership of 3000, distributed among nineteen branches. At the Convention of the National Brew¬ ers’ Union in Cincinnati, eighteen branches were represented. New York will continue to be the headquarters of the National Union. There are limestone works at Glenarm. in County Antrim, Ireland, where several hun¬ dreds of people are employed at wages ave¬ raging 84 ]>.*r week for very hard work and long hours. The organized lwikers in New York and other parts of the United States are still keeping up those efforts that have been the means of securing important advantages for them within the past few years.
