REMARIaBLE SERMON FROM BISHOP CLARK, CF REtpD,F, -13.VAND: A Loud Prayer for Peace. From tho Hafflord Times As an evidence of the change of-tone that is noticed in such political sermons as are now preached, we present to our readers the follbwing extract from a ser mon, delivered a few weeks ago by Bish op Clark, in Grace, Church, I,'..rovidenee, 'before an immense congregation. It is a . 'fervent prayer for "p'eaee. One year ago the. Bishop, • like manrothetv who forgot their balling, was as fervent for war.— similar clerical changes of feeling in re- ' gard-te-thn war are tilAfived 'hereabouts.

"We litiv.e fallen upon. evil days, and the heart of. thte.nathan beats: with 'agony.

There could never.be.a better time for shrewd and da: ring speculation.

We have au abundant currency—an over abundant currency—becanie it is fictitious, a 'prom ise to pay,' which everybody knows is a lie. The show of prosperity that weliave cannot exist long. We are blowing the bubble larger And larger every day, and it grows thrtmer as it expands. 'lt glistens gloriously in the sunshine for a moment, : but it will buret suddenly and vanish into space. We have ceased to accumulate the true' material of prosperity, ' produ cing and manufacturing abundantly: 'Ev ery one knows that soon the supply will be much larger than the demand, and we are speculating upon the impending Calam-.. ity. "This is not the worst. The tempts' , tions to FRAUD are irresistible, and many. men, of whom we had ; expected better things, are yielding to the' fereptation.-•- The most discouraging thing the -pies-. ant alarming crisis is the fact that so many loyal citizens are improving the opportunity to) amass enormous profits by fraridulent sppculations-upon the miseries of the eoun• to.. ..I,have seen the R.RSULT -OF.

"You needn't hold me, Pan not fool enough to resist when am falrly caught." "Wait tit we search you, and than ive will talk about at," answered the twiner. The doctor submi ed to the searching with the patience o n martyr. No of ensive-weapson being, ound in his pockets, they allowed him to sit down on the iiesrest chair unmolested. "Screw, I Suppose," said the doctor, looking inquiring ai titre 'officers. '•Exactly," saw pirincipal man of the two. "We harts' been secretly cor. respouding with hirn for weeks past,.

Evidently suspecting that I might have taken the alarm and concealed myself inside it, he apirroached it on tip toe. On tiptoe also I followed him; and, just as hie hands were ea the wardrobe door, toy hands were on his throat. I had the disadvantage of being obliged to Sales him from behind : but he was fortu nately a little man, and no match for me. I easily and gently laid him on his back, in a voiceless and half suffocated state, throwing myself right over him to. keep his legs quiet. When I saw his face get ting black, and his small eyes growing largely globular, I let go with one hand, crammed my empty plaster of Paris bag, which lay close by, into his mouth, tied it fast, secured his hands and feet, and then left him perfectly harmless, while I Leek counsel with myself haw best to se cure my own personal safety without danger.
