Mayor and Council of the City of Brunswick: The committees on public buildings and town commons, to whom was re ferred the communication of J. T. Collins, proposing to sell to the city the building standing on the foot of Mansfield street, and now used ns a Custom House, for the sum of $3,- 500, beg leave to submit that they have taken the same iuto considera tion, nnd recommend- that Council take no steps towards making a pur chase until the expiration of the lease in Jan., 1886.

City of Brunswick: The tiuauce committee, to whom wns referred the petition of J. F. Nel son, Esq., asking that the special tax on billiard and pool tables nud that the hotel special tax upon the Nelson House be remilted, claiming exemp tion from said tax nuder n resolution of former Council exempting the building and furniture of tho Nelson House from taxation for five years, beg leave to report that, ns regards the special tux on billiard and pool tables, they find that the billiard and pool tables of said Nelson Houso arc not used as part of tho hotel furni ture, but are rented, charged for, as in other establishments, ns a separate source of profit; and that in the opin ion of your committee, it would be making an iuviduous distinction and create n monopoly to remit said tux; and your committee therefore recom mend that, said tax be not remitted. Secondly—that as regards the fax for hotel (or license for same) your committee are of tbe opinion that the resolution under which the petition er prays for exemption, does not ex empt the said Nelson Honse from the license tax, but only relieves three- fourths of the building and the furni ture from taxation, and your commit tee can see no reason why said li cense tax should beremitted, and re fer you to the legal opiuion of the city attorney, and move tho adoption of the same. Respectfully submitted, Jksse Wildeb, J. J. Spears, Committee. The i eport was, on motion, received and adopted. By Aid. Littlefield: Resolved, That tho Hon. J. E.

Colson, Attest: Mayor. James Houstox, Clerk Council. OUR HIGHEST GO#D. (The metier for this column will be Inrnlebed weekly by Her. W. F. Lloyd, peator of tbe Metho dist church of tills city.—Ed.] the Tulmage: “You see hundreds of men who are successful only because there is a reason at homo why they are successful. If a man marry a good, honest soul, ho makes his for tune; if he marry a fool, tho Lord help him. Tho wife may bo a silent partner in the firm. Tbero may be A death-bed is of all others worst place to seek religion. There is more in one of GoTs sen tences than yon have discovered vet. He that is justified by God’s grace will endeavor to justify God's provi- idence. A memory well stored with Scrip ture mid sanctified by grace is a good library. Punishment is inflicte'd from love to justice, but chastisement from love to the offender. Curiosity is tbe core of the forbid den fruit, which still sticks in the tbroat of tlio natural man. — Thomas Fuller. When you send your prayers, be sure to direct them to the care of the Redeemer, nnd then they will never miscarry. j /- Your near neighbor and brother in the church is visibly losing ground iu his religious life. What ought you to do abont it ? Wlint tbe church wnuts is tho un der-propping of solitary prayer, tho strength that comes from secret com munion with heaven-—S. P. Henson. The criticism you made of your brother behind his back did not do him tbo least good. You did not ex pect it would. Why, theu, did you nmke it? No uiftii, for auy considerable peri od, can wear ono face to himself and auotber to tbo multitude, without fi nally getting bewildered ns to which may be tbe true. Give no heed to tbe critic who is not trying to help you in tbe work of tbe Lord. It is bis duty to do better himself if he does not like your way of doing things. Life, bus no smooth roads for nny of us, nnd in the bracing ntmospbere of n high aim, tbe very roughness on ly stimulates tbe climber to steadier and stendier steps, till that legend of tbe rough places fulfills itself at last: Per axpera ad astra—Over steep ways to the stars. Tbe number of lay men who seem actually to feel they hold something more than a passive relation to tho church of God is increasing. This stir and forward movement nmong our laymen is waking np many preachers. It will not do to lot the pews get ahead of tbe pulpit. You all kuow the.golden rnle: “Do unto others ns you would wish them to do to you.” Here is a rule which is nlmost a golden rale, but wbicb we will put by itself, aud beenuse of its value call it tbe silvpr rnle: “Think und say nil y«n c m >.i the good quali ties of others; forget aud keep silent concerning their bad qualities.” Sometime ago we saw this saying by Dr. Deems, “Of two evils choose— neither.” Recently wo have seen this thought thus put by Dr. Hall:— ‘If I um between two moral eviis, I will not bnvo either. A man is not to lie to suvo from the necessity to steal, nor to break tbe Sabbath lest he should not be able to pay bis debts. Never choose to do wrong.” There are always enough to say, “If tbe church would only come up to her duty, wo should liavo success."— And there are not a few who feel culled upon to berate nnd scold tho church, and think they do God ser vice, but they err. There is no faith in this kind of talk. Its real meaning I is thnt because tbe church is not only masculine voices down on the exchange, but thero often comes from j what it ought to be, therefore we can tbo homo circle a potential influence, {do nothing.
