There were In the roadstead two German steamers, a French steamer, the German frigates Charlotte and Stein and the Frenoh cruiser Admiral Bigault de Genoullly.

"The Golden Bole" Is the Title of the Third of the Mew York Herald's Competltlve Sermons?Preached by Rev. Charles 8. Tedder, of Charleston, S. C. Txxt: "Let us consider one another."? Hebrews x., 34. Here Is the Golden Bole, expressed In the terns of familiar speech and practical action?the way in which the oommond to do nnto others as we wonldthat others should do unto us may be made effectually operative. Here is the sursum oorda of all discontent with the Inequality of human conditions; the proclamation of peace in all strife of human opinions: the solution of thu problem of capital and labor; the condition of harmony in all human relations. The two noble brothers of the Hebrew tradition, secretly sharing the sheaves of their barley harvest with each other to make up what each conceived that the other laoked of the elements of happiness, exemplified it.

The words of the text were spoken by one of the great teachers orthe world to those who had associated themselves for worship and work, and whom he would fain lnolte to the highest and purest and kindliest life. "Let us consider one .another." We would better receive the fall meaning of the ap-' peal should we use the similar, familiar and expressive word "considerate"?"Let us be considerate of one another." Among the potential agenoies of the world are those whloh are directly addressed in the text and those akin to them in spirit and purpose?organisations which seek to promote human welfare, whether they be called ohuwhw, charities or by whatever name else. In all. of these there are possibilities of difference and division which will defeat or retard their usefulness and value. If we would know bow these possibilities may be met and overcome we neied but ooncelve of one of these instrumentalities for good in which each member la "considerate" of every other. Then we should see the strong bearing with the Id Amities of the weak; the weak not stumbled with the larger liberty of the strong; the rich sympathizing with the manifold trials of the poor; the poor con siderate of the crowding cares and calls of the rloh and zealous that both may- be poorer In spirit and richer In the grace* of character. We should see the Oldtalndful of the enthusiasm of their own youth and, remembering Its errors, gently guiding and tempering?not frowning upon and rebuking?the ardor of the younger; the young would be seen sitting at the feet of the old to learn and rising fromthem to do, not rejecting the counsels of1 the hoary head as fossil theories of a buried generation, but acknowledging that "days should speak and the multitude of years teaoh wisdom." If with increase of age infirmity had comej its very decrepitude would be honored as the wound, of an earlier warfare. Parents would be then not forgetful that they were once children; ohlldren that duty to parents Is duty to God and that they one day may need a parent's immunities. We should see the wise gentle to the ignorance of the Ignorant and patient to instruct it; the unlearned, If need be, tolerant of the irritability of incessant thought and exacting study and eager to share the trait of such toll, and all esteeming It more blessed to give than to receive forbearance and extenuation. Had any "fallen," all would think how adapted was the temptation to the weakness It conquered, ana how Improbable, If thas beset, that any would have remained steadfast. Repentance before God would give the offence to oblivion In the sight of men, save to kindle a deeper sympathy for the frailty that bad yielded. There would be the constant summoning of that oharity which "seeketh not her own, thinketh mo evil, hopeth all things, endureth all' things." If reprooNseemed duty, the fact would not be overlooked that Berne hearts there are so perilously fashioned God's touch alone hath tenderness enough To waken, and not break, the thrilling strings. "Let us be considerate of one another!" How benignant a law this for social interooursel How happy would be the community In which it reigned! We learn very early in this life that the secret of peaceful auu piwuiii jiviu^ is a kouuuus iouvguitlon of the differences between us and others and a fall allowance of the right to ' differ. In different ages and climes different definitions have obtained as to what constitutes "refinement." There is one , element In whioh all ages and climes agTeel k true good breeding is that whioh Is considerate of the feelings of others, of whatever class or condition. Why is it that sometimes even the saored circle of home is darkened with the oloud of painful differences, but that some with- , in it lack thoughtfulness of the feelings ; and even the Tailings of others? Rigid in their own ways, they are Intolerant of the different ways of others. Why is It that In the sami circles of. soolety variances some, which grow to settled alienations, but that in some thoughless moment a word, look or act has wounded the sensibilities of another, or even slighted his prejudices, and when regret came some retaliatory word forbade acknowledgment? Employer and employed! Are they al- ; ways to be at odds? Tes, until each "considers" the other and not himself alone. What is there which would banish from i the Intercourse and rivalries of business < the personal antagonism which is often en- | gendered, like tearing down the ghastly ] egend from the marts of trade, "Every ( nan for himself." and writing there in- > itead tbe kindly motto,. "Let as be oon- < ilderato of one another?" Stfll, still in mutual sufferance lies The secret of true living; Love scarce is love that never knows The sweetness of forgiving! Ret. Chables 8.
