Rules for Church-GOers.

/. Be sure and come after the services are
commenced. You will not have so long to stay
and will attract more attention from the con-
gregation Besides, who wants to hear the
Scriptures read you can read them at home
g If it is cold weather, don't forget to leave
the door open; you will show that you are not
afraid of the cold, and the minister cannot speak
with ease in a stiffied atmosphere.
3. During prayer, sit upright and take par
ticular notice who are enthusiasts or hypocrits
enough to bow their heads in prayer.
4. When the choir rise to sing, look them full
in the face; they will see that you appreciate
their music.
5. Take particular notice of the hats, shawls,
dresses, visites, &C., of each person present, SO
as to inform yourself of the various styles, and
the taste of different individuals. And then it
is so very clever to be able to describe them to
your folks at home.
6. If you have anything to say to a person
who sits near you, say it Immediately; you may
forget it if you wait until services are over.
I. Take out your watch every fifteen minutes
during sermon; it will admonish the preacher
to be short, and show that you are able to carry
the time.
8. If you are addicted to the gentlemanly
habit of masticating the delicious weed, don't
scruple to eject the saliva upon the carpet or
floor, if there is no spittoon handy, and do not
remove the qu;d from your jaws, because Of such
a deficiency, for it is not your fault if the pro-
per accommodations are not provided.
| o. Do not forget to 60 to sleep, if you are at
all disposed tina: way the speaker might not
know that he was dull, and the congreeatio
might think that you expected to have full
nights rest, if you should keep awake during
the entire services.
TO- When the congregation rise to receive th'
benedction, seize your hat and get ready tc
start for the door, by so doing you will avoio
the crowd, and may get out one minute sooner
/ II. Stand around the door and make remarks
upon the ladies who are passing; it will SHOW
your high PERCEPTION of the ridiculous, and tha
you are no respecter of persons.
The number of these rules might be great.
increased, but the person who follows these t.
perfection will easily find out the rest.

lsy- We have received a communication from
one of our fair friends, in which she complains
of what she considers unfair treatment at our
hands, in an article published some time since,
under the head "Cheated Again." wherein we
set forth that we had been imposed on by some
of our correspondents, who had sent us, as orr
ginal, poetical contributions, which were not
50. She thinks that we did her injustice, mas
much as she has been told by some irresponsible
persons that the article was written particular
ly for her. We trust we shall not be held re-
sponsble for reports, the origin of which certain
ly was not with u.s. The cause of our writing
the article was simply this As we had received
q number of communications which were pla
ciarisms, we considered it nothing more THAI
Justice to ourselves to let the senders of thos
articles know that we were not entirely insen
sible to such impositions, and therefore publish
cd the article with the expectation that tn
guilty would make the application; Of course
none other will consider themselves as impli
Gated We hope our friend will be satisfied will
this explanation.

THANKsGIvING.-Every state in the Union
except two, have agreed upon the p inst. to
be observed as day of general Thanksgiving
Thus this good old New England custom has
extended itself over the country from one ex-
trcme to the other, and upon the appointed day
the millions of Americans will unite in the Ian
guage of the Proclamation of Gov. Seymour
" in imporing the Almighty that He will begra'
ciously pleased to pour out his blessings on this
great country of wonderful progress and mighty
hopes, and make its institutions of freedom anc
religion the sublime means of establishing his
perfect law throughout the world"

NS- We may now look with certainty to the
arrival of the much talked of Kossuth upon our
shores. He has written letter to the Mayor
of New York, to the effect that he should sail
for that city on Saturday last from Liverpool
A gentleman who has conversed with Captain
Long, of the Mississippi, informs the " Y
Tribune, that the captain had no such Difficult
ty with Kossuth as has been reported, and ex.
presses for the great Hungarian the highest es
TEEN and regard. The reports were set on foo
by the enemies of the Hungarians in France

GsFs- How children ever learn anything in
60 our higher Seminaries,' is one of the puzzles
that we can't fathom. The moment a man gets
to be Professor" his language becomes so
high sounding, that nobody but Webster's Die
tionary can keep up with him. Prof. Ferguson
of the New York Normal School, thus speaks OF
'' the Reduction of Stars on the Hypothetical
representation, as applied to the infinitesimal
results -
"It was we'll known that if a series Of ordi-
mates be taken to denote the approximate tor
mula Of divcrging axes, the corresponding
abscissH will denote the respective values of the
variable, upon which the negative equation de-
pends; but if, under these circumstances, in
intesimal media be substituted for the pOlariza
tion of reflected vibrations, and physical hypo
thesis mcrges the elasticity of the oscillatng
medium in the angle Of incidences, and the
solution resolves itself by analytical transfer
nation into a molecular equivalent, whose
arithmetical mean, with a subordinate maxim
superposed, the rectilinear intersection OF which
must be equal to the arc of dynamic tluctuation
will be the calculus of the atomic difference re.

If that isn't as clear as mud, we should like
to know what is

/" Spirit of Conquest"

To the Editors of the Literary Echo:-
In the number of your paper dated
Oct. 80, writer over the signature Ed,
has written on the esprit of Conquest" p"
With your leave, l wish to offer few
thoughts on the same subject.
The writer commence by saying Some
forms of warfare are undoubtedly just /;
perhaps defensire war is always SO, cfensire
sometimes but wars of conquest never"
One thought that occurred to me on read
ing the above was, Can that be said to be
| just which Christianity forbids ; BY just we
mean that which is equitable, right, honest.
If some forms of warfare are just, and
if Christianity forbids all kinds of warfare,
then it may prohibit man from being just
a parodox we feel unwilling to admit.
Either the one or the other must be incor-
rect Again the writer says, perhaps
defensive war is always So" just.
have been thinking, if this it correct, whe
ther the sentiment, resist not evil" mus
not be exploded. Farther, " offensive
sometimes" [just ask, is it possible
|, that in our day, we have those who so ia
have drank in the spirit of conquest, as t.
even justify ofensire war? But then th'
writer adds, Wars of conquest never,
! Lust. ask, what is the difference between
!" offensive war" and "wars of conquest =
, Both aim at mastery. In the sixth para
graph the writer says :-"And this splrl
of conquest will ever live till christianity
has permeated and leavened the work witt

job hand-press executes those descriptions OF
mill printing not suitable for the steam-press.
Adjoining the printery, in the rear, are two
run of stone for experimental and miscellaneous
work. On the eastern side is another large
bolting chest. The fifth floor contains variety
of boiling and screening apparatus, though oc-
cupied mainly as storage loft for wheat corn
and oats. Passing out at the attic we gain the
roof, from which we have magnificent view OF
bay and surrounding country.
About seventy men are employed in the es-
tabishment The annual consumption OF Wheat
is about AS 900 bushels; Oats, about 4o,OOO;
Corn, about so 600 From which are manufac-

terprise of the Messrs. Hecker g. Brother.
In the evening we had the pleasure of listen
ing to the warblings Of the "Swan of Erin. "
Not being musical connoisseur, of course we
cannot give an artistic criticism of her method
of singing. But to our thinking, the cavatina
"Ah mon fils,' from the Prophete' of Meyer
beer, was a splendid achievement. While it was
highly scientific, it was full of gushing tender
ness, and her lower notes possessed fullness OF
pathos that went direct to the heart. She was
enthusiastically applauded in this song. In the
delightful duet, ''Quarto Amore,' from Doni-
zetti's @ LElisir dAmore," she was equally
happy, though the subject and style cOnstituteo
quite contrast to the cavatina 1t was live
ly, piquant, captivating gem. In g John An
derson my Joe," which was still different style
she was glorious. There was an originality ant
depth of feeling about her rendering of the bal
lad of the immortal Scotch bard that was truly
refreshing She was warmly encored, and sans
it better the second time if possible than th
first. In our estimation, Herr Mengis is worth.
