the pulpit has put forth persuade men to restrain and
conform to the infamous fugitive slave law The SER
mon criticised is that recently preached by Rev. DR..
Spencer, of Brooklyn, New York, of which We made
mention few days SINCE We have never seen
piece of work of this kind, more thoroughly DONE or
in such brief compass. If man is to be literally
hayed alive it is comfort TO him, doubtless as
well as to the lockers on, that it is done with tools
of such exquisite edge and finish.

JENNY LIND. The papers state that Jenny
Lind recently gave great offence at party held at
the house of one of the wealthy citizens of New
York There are various reports current IN relation TO
it, one of which is, that, Immediately on her arrival,
she took seat in small room in an obscure corner
behind the door, and Stunned any conversation with
those present This has been denied by her friends,
and it is affirmed that she quite sociable and
agreeable We have head it said in private circles
that the chief ground of offence, was, request that
she might not be subjected to the annoyance of an
individual introduction to each Of the guests. The
fact is, suppose, that she desired the privilege
ofbeng received as any other guest, and to conduct
herself as other guests did, while those who invited
her, wished to make her toe lion of the evening for
their own gor6caton. There is much of this game
carried in the great cities among the great folks.
few years since, Mrs. W, distinguished
professional vocalist, in New York, was invited to a
large par at the house of one of the mili0ndireS.
In the course ofthe evening, she invited to sing
but declined. On being further pressed she still de-
elned, when the lady said, "But Mrs, W, we
invited you here to sing.'' ''Did you'' said she,
''then will sing, and she sang accordingly. The
next day, she sent in bill for $500, for her profess
siona services that evening

THANKSGIVING SERMONS. Some people may
fancy that the sudden loyalty Of the clergy of our
City and their denuncation of imaginary ''rebels''
against the "Powers that be" is new thing in
thsregion. Quite the contrary, assure them In
l776, when the legitimate powers under Lord Howe
took possession of our houses, and Gen. Wash
ngton and other traors" retreated to the fstness-
es of the Highlands, nearly every clergyman of the
dominant persuasion FASTENED preach obedience
to them that had rule'' over the City. Dr. Auch-
muty of Trinity Church. New York; DIR. Walter of
Christ Church, Boston; Dr.. Cooper Of Kings Col
lege, New York; and Revs. Seabury and Peters of
Connecticut, are chronlced as follows in John Trim
bulls McFingal,''

Sabbath Evening.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE

BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.
IT'S holy time. The evening shade
Steals with a soft control
Der nature, as a thought of heaven
Steals DER the human soul;
And every ray from yonder blue,
And every drop of falling dew,
Seems to bring down to human woes
From heaven u message of repose.'
Der yon tall rock the solemn trees,
A shadowy group, incline
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And DER them now the night winds blow
So calm and STILL the music low
Seems the mysterious voice of PRAYER
Soft echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth
Rise to a God beloved,
And DER the waters move as erst
The Holy Spi it moved:
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn
Seem the far notes of seraphim,
And all earth's thousand voices raise
Their song of worship, love aud praise.
The gentle sisterhood of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears of dew
Up TO the holy skies;
And the pure stars come ont above
Like sweet and blessed things of love,
Bright signals in the eternal dome
To guide the parted spirit home.
There is spell of blessedness
In air and earth and heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
OF young saint forgiven;
Oh, who, at such an hour of love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And not kneei down npon the sod
With Natures self to worship God!

VoMAN's Position IN ENGLAND. Gu
rious case of the rights of husband and wife has
been lately brought before the English public. Mr.
Goblet, of the celebrated VIM. Goblet, has
been for many years an inmate of the Queens
Bench Prison, whittier he was committed for con-
tempt Of court. His wife, who is thoroughly deyot-
ed TO his cause has been in the habit, from time 10
time, of appearing in the courts of Westminster
vainy endeavoring to ameliorate his condition or
procure his release She has brought actions against
the keeper oi'the prison, and even against the Home
Secretary himself tor being instrumental in his in
generation. One of these to be tried at
the last Midsummer Assizes, and he, not having re-
tanned any counsel, deputed his wife. VINO appeared
before the court to conduct the of her husband
The learned Judge refused to hear Mrs. Goblet ,nd
as there was no counsel retained the plaintiff was
non-suited Mr.. Goblet moved the court against
this decision, which was, however, confirmed by
Lord Chief Justice Campbell, upon the plea that if
permission were given to women to conduct causes
for their husbands, in courts of law, such measure
would seriously tend to compromise the honor and
decacy of the female SEX This decision has pleas
ed some and dspeased many. If, say they, a wife
susains wrong, her husband may plead for her, or
sue for damages in her own name, and conduct the
case in person. the rights of husband and wife are
identical, and when placed in danger should be de-
Tended by ether.-Phil. Ledger.
