AMONG rHz-CHuRcHKs.-Th epidemic Of the age
is beginning TO attack the Presbyterian church
Accordingly, the revulson now assumes most sin
gular and fearful character Accordingly all appear
ances, the Pope of Rome, and his legate, Bishop
hughes OF this city, are buying up with hard cash,
all the'good old churches OF this city, and making
such long strides throughout the country, that causes
terrible alarm TO Parson Cheever, David Hale and
the saints. The Pope, too, is hard money man,
and possessing much hard cash, he is now making
investments at the cheapesr rate, and OF the best
character in point of buildings.
In order to show the sober reality of this danger
we extract the following excellent article from the
Rev. David Hals's paper OF yesterday =
from the Journal of Commerce.

done to put down the old Harot of Babylon, who
actually wears red petticoats, or we are all "gone

The Earnest Prayer
Or HOLY DAvy, MADE DEvoUrLY TO THE LORD EVERY
MORNING, Noon EVENING.
Oh, thou, who sit'st serene high
Who sendst the wet and sendst the dry
oh, bend on me thy gracious eye,
And hear my groans,
While cursing scarlet Popery-
On marrow bones
Thou knowest that pillar stand
For all the godly in this land
Thou kn0west that at my stern command
The Devil grins
To think he'll burn the Bishops band
For Popsh sins.
Thou knowest that.if twas not for me,
Thy holy flock would wandering be
In realms of wo and blasphemy
Thou knowest il well,
Who see'st through all eternity
The Popes in hell
Oh Lord thou know'st how have told
Collegiansto shell out their gold,
For edifice when duly rolled
Deep through their noses.
Should sound thy psalms! Oh, let the fold
List to thy Moses
Thou knowest oh, Lord that Oft Idol
Things which would cause awful stew
m n od fory-
dreadful chatter
But as it's only known to you
It's no great matter!
Thou knowest that I would play for pelf
Another Judas-sell myself,
Hthy son lived, to Jewish elf: -.sas
Laid up on Heavens bright golden shelf,
have no dread
But, Lord in view of all plan
Against the Devil and his clan
Ipray thee look from yonder span
Ofvaulted air,
And grant to detected man
His earnest prayer
Thou knowesttor what make moan.
Thou knowest for thee fought alone
And have completely been o'erthrown
By Popish Friar,
And stand, oh, Lord in every zone,
Ablasted liar!
For this ask thee to awake
Thy sleeping thunderbolts and shake
Thy lghtnings over all who'd make
OdDavy cover.
Oh, hurl them in the brimstome lake
Oh damn the Papsts every soul
Who on thy name at masses call,
Yes let me, Lord, soon see them fall
All mercy lose!
But chiefly, from thy starry hail.
Damn Bishop Hughes,
Damn him " in basket and in store ~
Around behind, about, before
Let all his dreams exhibit gore
From Cath, shed
Rest not with this ask for more
Purse heart and head
May he, by night and day, behold
The creatures of his cursed fold
In one wide, red damnation rolled.
Lord hear my cry,
Make him with heart ice, az cold
As mean asI!
Oh, let not now our house be sold
To that red Harlot-Queen Of old
For any money-any gold
Unless the price
Yield ten per cent, full told,
Then twill be nice.
II thou'lt but do this awful King
I'll to thy tabernacle bring
A glorious Anthem which shall ring
Der all the sod
Yes once in earnest shall sing
"Glory to God !"
THE STREET CoNTRAcr-This contract creates a
great breeze. We learn that at So, 900 year, the
contractors will clear $4,000 per annum 1t is sup
posed to be divided among dozen. How comes
it, that the same business heretofore cost the city
100000 per annum?
