.NcssrS. Editors:- Wonderful age this, in
which reformerS are reforming the reormcrs--
the Wesleyanism of one hundred years siAcc is
being converted into mere cthclialiSm tho
Delugesm of Noahs era to the Milcnsm of
the present time-the Church Of Egandsm to
Pusoy Roman Catholicism to Ronge-
ism, which is spreading rapidly in Europe and
gradually i'll this country-that is, kind of
Romanism independent of the Pope and Bish-
ops. | have discovered in my "Pdul Pry" re-
searches that there are some Rongoites in How
ard District, who, like Simeon Of old, are wait
ing and longing for this new manifestation of
the truth.
The funeral of little boy, the son Of Rev.
Mr.. Fort, of this place, took place yesterday.
The child had been killed by falling through u
hole in the porch attached tn Barng's Rail
Road Hotel. 1t seems mysterious Providence.
Why are innocence aud youth so often snatch
cd from life by accidents, while the wckodcst
Of the wicked are frequently permitted to 60
beyond the Scrptula three score years and
ten? hear the Bible saying, "Secret things
belong unto God, but those revealed unto you
and your children.'' The hereavcd family will
obey the advice the head Of it has given from
the pulpit, and say, with job, "'rho Lord hath
given, and the Lord hath taken away-bleSsed
be the name of the Lord.''
Yesterday a Temperance meeting was held
at Illchcstcr, village OH the Railroad, few
miles below this place. As it relates to "Spiril-
ual Matters" the Lords day was an appropri-
ate time for holding the meeting. Mr.. McJil-
ton, brother to the celebrated poet and preach
er, although he eschews brandy, exhibited a
good deal of spirit in speech delivered there,
which spirit the large audience swallowed with
out lifting 9 lass to their mouths. believe in
temperance and religion, and that some stick
to the principles throug h rain and shine, but
some temperance people are like some religious
people in ths-they serve God and curse Bac-
chus through principles Of ccOnomy-give them
SEQ, 900 by way of lottery or be9ucst, and they
woald be Tom Paines, both in irreligion and
drinking ardent spirits.
AS you believe in the cheap system, which has
aided in circulating your paper so widely, per-
init me to notice the "ELIicoH's Mills cheap cash
Store" the proprietor of which, while he sub
scrlbes and p1ys for different newspapers, gives
Satisfaction 10 ms NUMEROUS cuotOheIa, pocket
ically, spirit uaily, and personally.
Is there a difference between American gen
tlemen and American mechanics? A rocen
/ event causes the question. At social partl
should persons calling themselves gentlemen
occupy ercluSireiy one half of a room, leavin!
the other to mechanics, without noticing tht
latter, except by cold looks coming from coIt
hearts? If such gentlemen profess religion, is
not the matter worse; DO they not deny th'
Saviour by so doing? Was not lie the ''son ot
Il carpenter" and, probably, carpenter, too
Who now, is the gent!emdn-the Saviour, oil
the person who hates and avoids mechanics?
