c,rvpp RosRERy BY A FEMALE. A few weeks
since handsomely fashionable looking lady
drove ND in private carriage to well known Prl-
waite ,na;son de sunfe or lunaiic asylum, situated a
few miles from Paris, and requested to see the pro-
Dretor. Her wish was speedily acceded to, and alter
the usual compliments she informed DIR. - that
she had been induced to call upon him under Pecu-
iary distressing circumstances, and then proceeded
to state that her husband, to whom she was tendery
attached, labored under sort OF mania that he had
lost large quantity of jewels. How to account for
this strange idea she knew not butt after taking the
advice of their mutual friends, she had come to the
determination of placing him for few weeks UNDER

be the means of curing Nam of his cruel malady. Inc

agreed to- and the lady drove off, with confidential
clerk to the asylum of Dr. -
On arriving there, both were shown into room'
which the lady in a few minutes left, saying she
Wished to sneak to her husband. She saw the doc

and she thought that, for fear of arousing his susP
cons, she would leave the house without seeing him.
This was agreed to by Dr. -, ana the iaoy haslny

excited, and rang the bell hurriedy asking what had

REUNION WITH THE NoarH. A suggestion has
been recently made by the New YORK Express
an influential secular paper, that an effort should Dc
made in this time of political compromises to reunite
the Northern and Socthern divisions Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. In this it is likely the Express
speaks the wishes of not few of the enlightened and
liberal among the membership of the Northern Me-
thodist Church. So far all this is exhiDitio
of amiable feelings, glad to it. But a
more hopelessly chmerlca idea never set atoat.
Reunion in the present circumstances OF the North
ern and Southern sections of the United States is
downright, utter, and sheer mpossibility. Putting
ont of srht the fact that the General Conference OF
the Northern Church declined the simple overture
on the part of the Southern Methodsts to open and
maintain friendly relations the basis of AMIGA
BILE confrateInty of feeling, and compelled the latter
to resort to legal measures to obtain fair division OF
the property contracted for in the deed OF separation,
the state of opinon-genera opinion, prevailing In
the Eastern, Northern and Northwestern portions OF
the NJ f. Church is such, and ever will be such, as
to forbid absolutely and peremptorily, any future Goa
lescence part while the domestic Institutions
of the save-holding States remain in their present
integrity.
There is too much shigher-law conscience amongst
Northern Methodsts. TOO much nfalned prejudice,
quasi religious, too wide spread fanatica virus In
the press, the pulpit, and the prayer-room, to allow
the ghost of hope to come from the grave OF our
ecclesiastical union tell of any future resurrection
united Methodist Church has bequeathed its last
legacy to the political union in the shape of solemn
warning to statesmen and politicians, that submits
siye as the South may be regarded, there Is a
Terminating pillar high"
beyond which it will not be forced.
And in addition to the foregoing considerations,
there is another which is not without weight. The
expansion and growth of the original connection had
made the ecclesiastical machinery cumbersome in its
working. The division of the Church into two jul
risdictions udicious in itself. and de-
sirabe for other besides the slavery agitation
Ead it been carried out by the North in friendly
SPIRIT it would have given relief to both scctions
and presented the world of the noblest specta-
cles ever shown in the history of Churches. AS it
Isl the of each section have been increased
The annual Conferences have moved on in their ap-
pirate calling. just they did before the division.
Each section has tested its capabilities for iRdePen-
dent action and selfsustaining growth. When the
hand of time has sotened down the asperites occa-
stoned by the disruption, it is likely that the two con-
nections may stand friendly footing shake hands
across the border, and maintain the spirit of noble
rivalry in public usefulness. But any union closer
than this, any return to the original regime, is not
possible even if it desirabe-is not desirable,
were it possible. Southern Christian 3dUoeate.

Just as he concluded, all the lamps,
