Henry Ward Beecher are best known to

fuurth year. He graduated at Amherst

His publications include
Young Men,” “ Life
wood” (a novel), ‘** Life of Christ,’’ and ‘Yale Lectures on Preaching.’ His ser- mons have made ‘Plymouth Pulpit”
famous throughout the civilized world. In point of genuine eloquence they are per- haps equalled but they are certainly unsur- passed. Beecher was not in perfect agree-
ment with the tenets of any Church or
Denomination of militant Christians ; ana yet his discourses —particularly those of his later years—are full of the spirit of his
Divine Master. The opinions he held as to
the position and relations and duties of his fellow-Christians are succinctly set forth in
his sermon on ‘* Religious Repulsions,”
preached on the 2ist of November last, which we quote, as follows :—
** There are individuals better all the world over than their church is, better than their creed is, just as there are multitudes worse than their church and worse than their creed ; but the day is coming, 1 think, when Catholics and Protestants will recognize in each other merely sinners and subjects for universal recognition of merey and love, and so unite in things which are tar more im- portant than the things in which they differ.
** And so it will be with our minor sects— the Calvinist (the John Calvin sect) and the derivative Calvinist—the High Calvinist and the Low Calvinist; and then, next to them and very much despised in my youth the Armenians, whose creed is the basis of Methodism ; and then the High Church and Low Church among the Episcopalians. How is it to-day with you, brethern? What is your thought about the church that worships the other side of the way? What is your thought of the man who has not been baptized in the proper way, and has not gone in deep enough? What is your thought about the churches that look down upon you, and think you have no right nor title to call yourself a church, and to administer ordinances? Is there compassion of love in your heart toward them? Have youa sense and consciousness of the universality of God's care for mankind, without regard to their condition and cireum- stances, that enables you to accept peaceably these things ?
**T can. Let me boast a little. I have come to a full recognition of the fact that ifa good
many other folks are orthodox, lam not. I am perfectly willing to take all the iesponsibility and wil
the results of not jghaving been quite regular in my Views. My heresy has ruin “in this direction, to decry everything that is less than love aad to pronounee that to be orthodox whichds in the full spirit of divine love. I] came to it slowly ; | came to it through all the embarrassments of an early education, and of an intense loyity to the church and to the theology ot my father ; but I have come to it; and there are no religions on the face of the earth with which ] cannot now stand in sym- pathy,erther because of their goodness or their need of goudness, Kither way, take them which side you please, there is room for your sympathy, for your compassion, and for that oneness with Jesus Christ which enables Him on the one side, not to be indignant at the Samaritans, and on the other side to rebuke his own disciples, and both of them because they were narrow, sectional, selfish and un- loving.
“*Thold that there is but one orthodoxy, and that all others are bastard orthodoxies. The orthodoxy of the heart that loves God, and loves man tosuch an extent that it is willing to suffer for him, and to endure hard- ships for the sake of the love it bears to man— that isthe true orthodoxy, and there is no other. It makes but comparatively little difference in regard to a thousand and one things that may be useful in a church econo- my ; with them a man may be a little more at ease, but without themhe may still be a man in Christ JeBus, aadis to be received as a spiritual man, by the note and sign of love to God and love to man.
“It is a fatal striving that is going on per- petually in revivals of religion, and in the various efforts, well meant, for the propaga- tion of the faith, that we concentrate our main thought on converting men to our views. We want a mau to be converted; but what is it to be converted? To be in harmony with the Church, and with the ruling creeds of the church. I tell you, every man’ needs to be born again; but he needs to be born again from the animal that is in him to the spiritual and intellectaal that are in him. A man may be born again in a Church creed, and yet be worth nothing. A man may be born out of nothing into confessions of faith, into the catechism, aud se forth; aman may be born many Ways out of his old estate and intoa new estate; but that which every one of us wants is to be born again into the spirit of Jesus Christ.
There are two selves in every man—the primitive, historical, under self, that lives upon the ground, and has all the organs ne- cessary to a material and physical life—that is, all the appetites and desires that are need- ful for his strength, and for the relations whic he sustains in life;

elf of sympathy and of taste, or love of the beautiful. There is a self of heroism, of de- votion, of sacrifice by love. There is a n bler self that is not dependent upon animal condi- tions, that rises above them, and that has in it the promise of immortality; end what we want is such a conversion as that this higher and supreme self shall have control over the whole under and lower self, to correct | fishness, to purify its pride, to make it the servant of love and not an assertion of supre- macy.
While, then, ] would not ask you to aban- don your own church, I would ask you to be a great deal better in that church than you are. I would not undertake to tell you that you should love another communion as you do the one in which your are exercising your love; but this I say: You have no right _to hate any other, or to have prejudices which lead to separations, These are the stumbling- blocks that ought to, be ruled off from the path of religion.” breathed mto our
If this spirit were
Churches by our orthodox clergymen, few laymen would be found to vote against a capable man simply because he is a Catholic
or a Protestant—there would be less nar- rowness and bigotry throughout the land.
The death of Henry Ward Beecher has left a yawning gap in the social fabric. In the words of a contemporary:
‘‘ The power and originality of his intellect, his clear iusight, wonderful oratorical power, and literary skill, placed him first in the front rank of preachers and _ lecturers, while his fearless advocacy of unpopular causes, his sympathy with the injured and oppressed, and his vigorous denunciation of national wiongs, have made him not less famous asa_ public man than he has been in the pulpit.”
Reciprocity.
Senator Hoar’s resolution, concerning
which information is desired, reads as
follows :
Resolved, Thatitis the judgment of the Senate that under present circumstances no negotiation should be undertaken with Great Britain in regard to existing difficulties with her province of Canada, which has for its object the reduction, change or abolition of any of our existing duties on imports.
The resolution was debated on the 27th the Committee on debate,
and referred to In the
inst., Finance. course of the Senator Morrill said :
‘* The fact is that the agricultural products and the beef for market purposes of our coun- try are in excess of our own wants, and the only addition wecan have from Canadian trade with us would be in competition with the products of agriculturists and those who produce cattle and horses and sheep for sale. Again, I believe that Reciprocity treaties are in direct conflict with any treaty which we have with any considerable power of the earth. Under ‘‘ the most favored nation” clause we agree to accord to every nation whatever every favor that we grant to one, to impose no higher rate of duties than we impose on any nation; and such treaties exist between thirty and forty nations. To undertake to have a Reciprocity Treaty with any nation, by which we are to give more tavors to one than we do another, would be in direct conflict with our existing treaty obligations. Beyond this, any treaty that we make with the Canadas has to be made with the condition that the same favors that Canada grants to usare to he granted to Great Britain, thereby making the whole stipulation utterly valueless so far as We are concerned, unless we put American labor upon the level of that of Great Britain, and then undersell them in Canada.” .
Referring to these remarks, Senator
Hoard said: —
‘‘ J suppose that the declaration of the Chairman of the Committee on Finance (Senator Morrill) representing, as he does, the policy of the dominant party in this body,will be aecepted everywhere as letting everybody see that it would be utterly hepeless under any circumstancés to .expect a Reciprocity Treaty with Great Britain affccting Canada, even if there were no special conditions.”
We deeply regret that the United States Senate seems to be immovable on the ques- tion of Reciprocity, and can* only hope that the Senators will ere long come to ? better mind.

MR,

The above estimates include the cost of distribution through the city, and the hy- drants for fire service. It may be observed here, that Mr. Murdcch condemns the No. 1 scheme, on account of the* assumed cust pf the tunnel, with the probability of its costing a much larger sum. No. 2 because of the great distance of the pumping sta- tion from the city, (53 miles) is a serious drawback to its adoption. No. 3 being by gravitation is unsuitable for fire purposes. No. 4and No. 5 are the plans which Mr. Murdoch recommends to careful consider- ation, the latter however depends” for its success on puinping by the Holly system, which system does not now receive the ap- proval of the best Engineers in the United States. No.6 with pumping station at Gates’ dam is not recommended.- No. 7. Its low pressure, great cost, and the ex- treme risk in impounding so large a body of water for the sake of raising it suflicient- ly high for city purposes, all unite in re- jecting this scheme.
it remains now to be considered if there is any other metho by which a suitable supply can be reached which will cost less in its construction. Before proceeding further, I wish to say that I have no intention to interpose the slightest obstacle in the way of obtaining water at the earliest possible noment. Whichever course is deemed best after mature consideration, will have my loyai efforts towards its pro- motion. But I would feel recreant to duty if [I knew of a better plan than the one just referred to, and did not submit it for your consideration.
An English engineer, very extensively con- nected with the construction of waterworks, says:—‘* Considerable change of opinion has necessarily taken place of late years, as to the relative merit of wells and drainage are» for procuring large supplies of water for tov » andcities. The estimates made by enginetr: as to the proportion of rainfall capable vt being collected in large impounding reservoirs have been found to be much exaggerated, especially in years of considerable drought ; and although no general rule can be laid doo» as applicable to every locality, it is probable that in future, the sinking of deep wells must be extensively resorted to, for the purpose of procuring water, where ihe drainage areas seem inadequate to yield the necessary quantity.” cs
During‘the last twenty years, the work of sinking deep wells for domestic and fire purposes, has made rapid prozress. In some cases rivers and streams have been abandoned and the supply has been obtained exclusively from wells. A great deal of information has also been obtained by parliamentary enquiry, especially in relation to the excellent supply obtained in England~ from strata similar te our own-—

THE NEW RED SANDSTONE,

the water allowed to filler through a natural bed of gravel, into a reservoir. In 1869, the Company owning the works applied to Parlia. ment for power to extend them, by tak- ing two small streams, 7 miles distant, in- creasing their capital by $750,009, and with liberty to borrow a further sam of $157,500. The town corporation petitioned against this for the following reasons: -‘“That the Company are monopolists.-"Lhat they can obtain the purest and cheapest supply from the sand.
proposed scheme would involve heavy eom- pensation'to water mills below the pumping station.--That the Company have a large amount of unused capital.—-That their present shares are at a premium of 20 per ceat.--That the profit on the new shares would be pocket- Mod by the Company, making their premium equal to 68 per cent, and would entail on the consumers a charge of $500,000.-—That the Company are willing to purchase the works, or establish new waterworks for the supply of the town.” The opposition was successful,
St. Helen's Lane has two wells 210 feet deep and supplying 572,000 gallons a day.
Sunderland is supplied from four wells. Ist at Humbledon Hill, 14 mile west, 228 feet deep, then three | inch holes of 100 feet; 2nd at Fulwell, 14 mile north, 222 feetdeep. The reservoir at,each place contains one million gallons; 3rd at Cleadon, 4 miles north, 270 feet deep. Reservoir two million gallons; 4th at Ryhope, 34 miles south, 240 feet deep, with a reservoir holding four million gallons.
THE SUPPLY IS CONSTANT
and Jaid on with the full pressure. The aver- age daily supply being from 34 to 4 million gallons. In, i868 the receipts were $132,700, the expenditure $50,635, leaving a profit -of 382.065,
sirkenhead has two wells, each 9 feet in diameter, 95 feet deep, with a boriag of 190 feet, in all 395 feet deep. Each well yields two million gallons a day.
Liverpool previous to 1850 was supplied by several companies from wells. The corpora- tion purchased the works, and a great conten- tion arose as to the best way to obtain further supplies. At last the advice and assistance of the celebrated engineer, Robert Stephenson, was called for, and the whole matter submit- ted tohim. Mr, Steplienson sums up his con- clusion in these words:-—‘‘That the work may be looked upon as almo$t equally permeable in every direction, and the whole mass re- garded as a reservoir filled up toa certain level, to which, whenever wells are sunk, water will always be obtained more or less Those wells were sunk almost at the level of the sea.. The well at Bootle yielded over a million galions a day. In the bottom of the well were 16 small bore holes, some of which were 600 fees deep. Mr. 8. plugged up all but one, and found the yield to be 924,192 gallons per day, showing that a large unnecessary oatlay had been made here to little purpose. The Green Lane Well, 185 feet deep (the bottom being 63 fect below high water in the Memey) yielded 991,118 gallons per day. A boring of 98 feet has since been made in the bottom of the well, and the aver- age yield has been increased to 2,413,068 gullous per day. ‘The Windsor Well is 210 feet deep and yielded 678,560 gallons a day. A boring of 214 feet increased the yield to 1,020,423" gallons. Mr. Stephenson recom- mended that six new wells should be sunk, to obtain the necessary increase for the popula- tion.
At Walford, in Durham, from the shafts sunk in the lower bed of the Permian series, the incredible quantity of 14 million gallons a day has been pumped up.
In the United States, many towns and cities have resorted to mills for their water. At Hyde Park, Mass. ,they have sixty four 2-inch pipes about 38 feet each, all connected to- gether by horizontal pipes. The capacity is about 500,000 gallons per day. The town of Cohasset
OBTAINS ITS SUPPLY
by this method. The town of Attleboro, Mass., procures its entire supply of water for, domes- é:¢ use, from a well situated on the bank of a very small stream. The City of Brooklyn, prior to 1859, got their supply from the old fashioned wells; but in that year these were all filled up, and they obtained their supply from a number of deep basins or wells, to the extent of from 19,000,000 to 45,000,000 gallons daily.
There are now in Massachussets not less than fifty towns with populations not exceed- ing 10,000, provided with public water sup- plies. Of these twenty-six have populations of 5,000, and twenty-one between 2,000 and 5,000. Five villages with less than 2,000 are also thus supplied.
One of their public men thus writes on this subject: ‘‘There are many necessary expendi- tures of public money, from which taxpayers receive only a general benefit. Thereare no pub- lic improvements that a town or district may adopt, which will become a source of revenue, except public waterworks. _ Especially for protection against fire is such a supply val- uable. Each hydrant becomes a fire engine, and when ten heavy streams of water can be directed all at once on any fire which may break out in the district, the combustible hs etch valuable merchandise, and house- hold goods, is pretty well secured against de- struction.”
From these facts, which might be greatly
so yhany towns and cities in the old world and new, can obtain their best supply from wells, there can be no reasou why we, in possession of an overflowing fountain of the best puri- tied water to be obtained anywhere, may not obtain a rich and permanent supply.
A good deal of argument has been used to depreciate well supplies in this Island, because the well water of Charlottetown is so hard, There is ‘
NO OBJECTION
to the water obtained from springs and brooks no matter how filthy the brook is made in the summer—al] its defects are covered on the ground that we need soft water. Well, sup- posing well water is harder than the brooks, are we to sacriffice $50,000 or $60,000 for the sake of saving a little soap and soda? But it is yet to be proven that country well—water is any harder than the adjoining springs or ceeks. My own well has been used for the last 15 years for all domestic purposes, and is reckoned superior to Spring Park water. But we require a water supply for drinking purposes, as well as for washing.

Each acre (containing 43,560 superficial feet) receives yearly 609,840 gallons.

A basin with an area of 600 acres would therefore contain surplus rainfall, equal to all our requirements.
