Saints went to rch-dozed-dreamed of stocks
and the turkey in danger of being over-roasted at

cracked their nuts and their Jokes and slipped their
wine-or hadprlvate devotional exercises, accord
ing the spirit Of religion burned within them
The sinners followed the world and the flesh and
the devil just they do every other day in the
year. Prayers assembled TO heaven--seepy preach
ers pounded texs-sks and satins rusted-down-
town clerks rode out to Harlem-brant chande-
Tiers burned brightly in the evening, in splendid
mansons-the poor shivered in the lanes and al
leys-hypocrisy thanked God il was not like the
poor pubhcan-wealth revelled-poverty CRASHED
Its teeth-misery, and despair, and temptation, and
vice, and crime, stalked every where-and the

PROFESSOR MAFPIrr's i.EorURE.-This Rev.
Professor OF Theology and Literature has been
giving series of small beer lectures at the Catha-
rine Street Church, on the corner of Madison
street; but tonight he travels out of his common
place orbit, and introduces subject, novel, new.
and capable of being made most interesting to an
American audience. Maiitt has some excellent
and beautiful ideas, which he occasionally throws
FORTH clothed in forcible and eloquent language.
which impresses an audience very favorably, espe
cialy when he dvests himself of all his pharsacal,
methodistical, ranting money-hunting humbuggery
His satirica powers, properly exerted, will afford
much amusement and interest to all who are ac-
quanted with the foolish and bombastical writings
of the penny-a-line tourists who have amused
their publishers with maligning the institutions of
our republic and attempting to ridicule the cha
racter and manner of our supplemented but indie
pendent citizens, whose only fault was the too cor
dial hospitality, which they extended to the dregs
of European scribblers and libellers. We shall
have reporter on the spot to give graphic sketch
of the whole proceedings.
