by faithful experience. can say to those
who oppose your system, that they know
nothing about it, because they lice not the
truth.
Every person in this place that has
adopted your system and given it fair
trial has been much benefited by it. No
case of insanity has taken place in West
field among those who follow your system
Indeed that system is the surest preventive
against such calamity.

The THEATRE.-The managers of the
theatre in this city have again opened their
doors to women of i'll fame, and numbers
are said to be in attendance every evening.
Why is this? Mr. Dean told US that they
had determined 10 exclude these characters
in future. Why has this decision been re-
versed so soon? Was their admission de-
manded by theatre-going men? and was it
found necessary to yield to this demand in
order to sustain the establishment? This
is as we predicted. We said few weeks
since that the theatre could not live long
without this usual accompaniment. The
question has been fairly tested and settled.
The theatre cannot lice Without the attend
dnCe of PROSTITUTES. Henceforth, let those
who countenance and who attend this
"school of morals" understand the matter
Let them know what they do and echat COM
pdny they are in. What better is the thea,
tire, as now conducted, than HOUSE OF
ASSOCIATION, where hcentious mer
meet with vile women, and find hacks ready
to convey them to the dens of infamy anc
pollution. There is not another establish
; ment, of any kind, in Buffalo, so corruptins
and dangerous, as the Eagle-street theatre
1t is the fashionable route to the brothel.-
1t is fed by the streams Of intemperance, ane
in turn helps to swell those streams, ant
rolls on the tide of moral corruption anC
death over the city and to far distant places
f 1t is emphatically the ROAD TO RUIN
e THE GATEWAY TO HE'LL.
7 A gentleman passing along Eaglestree
> the other evening saw hack drive up il
: front Of the theatre, loaded with prostitutes
who alighted and entered the theatre, not b,
way of the pit and the winding stairs, Blu
l through the front doors and body of tn
house, as bold and genteeL as other ladies
: Where they found seats we know not
e They ought, however, to occupy the bes
3 boxes inasmnch as they are the principa
objects of attraction, and their presence an
. influence is so essential in sustaining th
theatre. This gateway of death is ker
open and brilliantly lighted up almost ever
, night in the week, and multitudes of Youtf
= from the city and the country, are lured int
# this path, led on in sin, and sooner or late
e are plunged into temporal and eternal perd
h ton. We have some facts which we sha
o give to the public soon. The half has nc
y been told. Let all that is true in referenc
! tOthe theatre be fully known, and public il
u dgnation would be reused against it as
n NUISANCE not to be tolerated amOngus

d fact and query.-Mr Poor, one
d the missionaries at Ceylon, in his journa
states the following fact:
"Nathan Perkins, who was suspende
from the church several years ago, for ma
rying a heather woman, made me Wis
to-day, having recently come from COlun
l. BIO. He was married into rich family
and is now employed in government servic
l. in the medical department. Though an Of
ot ject of envy to many, he Is by no means
is happy mali. He condemns himself for tt
course be pursued, but finds it impossible t
retrace his steps. His father died in Jaffn
IL on the evening Of his marriage in Columb
This he informs me he regarded as the fir
n indication OF Gods displ pleasure at what
had done, in denying Christ for the sake
wife with a rich dowry. 1t is pleasin
If even in such cases, to witness the effects

Re An0ther-The apostle Paul, said to Il

Of the authority of the apostle, set up sir "sp
