SEcTARIAN CHARITY.-When q wealthy
Roman Catholic shufles off this mortal coil, and
dares to leave his property in trust to the Church
Of which he was communicant, for benevolent
purposes, a sanctimonious howl is raised from
Maine to Georgia on the terrible influences
which priests exercise ovor dying pentents But
from the secret satisfaction with which dissent
ers quietly pat away large bequssts made to
their churches, we are rather disposed to conjec-
ture that it is the money, and not the soul, for
which they howl. Scarcely week passes but
we are called upon to record the bestowment of
large sums on missionary institutions, ct cetera.
Two weeks ago gentleman Of this city saw fit
to donate two-thirds of his fortune TO a variety
Of societies in this city whose chief end appears
to be the support, at the expense Of the charita-
Bile, Of set Of old fogies whose creed consists in
living without work, by foisting themselves into
good, fat comfortable situations, on the strength
Of their sanctity. With the disposition which q
man Of wealth may make Of his property, we
have nothing to do. All we exclaim against, ia
the envy and malice which these bypOcrites are
Glled with, If these fat sliees from the goodly
loaf do not fall 10 their share oftener than to
others of like kidney. A short time since potr
fellow out West, bequeathed the whole Of his
property To a missionary society, and left his
children to bs turned out Of doors to starve
The association for the introduction Of the Bible
among the HottentOts, forget, in their holy
eagerness to grab the dead mans property, that
he ever had children. Hadit not been that they
were made to disgorge their ill-gOttsn booty,
tho orphans would ere this be singing anything
but psalms in poor-hOuse. A paragraph going
the rOundsis worth quoting, and withOutremark
It bears upon les face its own comment. If Hans
Wilson had been Roman Catholic, and not q
rrespyteIiaD, and had left these bequests TO that
Church. what oommotion there would bs from
Dan to Bershebas
" Hans Wilson, wealthy citizen Of steubenviIls
Ohio died recently in that city in the seth year of his
age. leaving In bequests $4,000 to the Board of Do
nestle Missions Of the Presbyterian Church; $4,000
to the Board Of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
Church LOCO to the Presbyterian Church Of Steu-

WATER TRAPs-BEwARE AS the
plenty and variety of fatal accidents-falling
buildings, railroad smashes, steamboat wrecks,
and SO on-have turned public attention some
what angrily that way, just about now, it may
not be out Of order to give one or TIVE of our
thoughts upon a similar danger, that is brought
home to thousands of the citizens of New York,
with every recurring summer. We allude to
the peril from the fimsy nature, and Insecurity,
Of the boats on which most pleasure excursions,
Sunday jaunts, trips for twelve or twenty-five
cents, are made by large proportion of our
New York inhabitants.
Reader you have probably been on some
picnic to some grove or other, and have had
experience which will prove to you, if you can
recall il to mind, the danger that 50 often hangs
over these voyages. The boat on such occasions
is often some old, rotten affair, that has been
bought dirt-cheap by some active man, who
makes her pay per centage of hundreds on his
investment. She is poorly appointed in every
way. Shabbiness and weakness are her prevail
ing traits. Nevertheless she is crowded jam
full. From little distance as she passes up or
down the river, spectators almost shudder to see
that black dense bee-swarm of human beings,
in such tumble-tO-piecss hulk, putting along
with her guards low in the water. What lit
tie collision only would send this mass of human
life into the drowning waters
These watertraps are all the worse, as on the
work they do, they carry such large proper
tiOn of women and girls and boys. It is enough
to make ones blood curdle to imagine the very
easy to happen accidents that these miserable
boats are a perpetual invitation to It is con-
sidered the part of prudence to be fore-armed
against any contingency that may happen; but
these decayed and venerable carry-alls appear
to be fixed on the precisely opposite principle.
We speak of these things now, because the
season is at hand, when we hear of the begin
nings toward these trips and excursions. Let
us look out in Time And let there be no mercy
shown toward these greedy and devouring traps,
if they are foisted on the public this summer.
We are not much in favor Of law, to regulate
matters Of any sort, which ought to be regulated
by each mans looking out for himself; but we
think we might 60 for a special law-unless ex-
listing ones would answer if put in force-to
reach the case we have treated Of. We shall at
least keep an eye on these tubs and warn the
public against them.

The LANTERN.-Diferent from all pre-
vious attempts at Punch-y comic papers in New
York, the Lantern progresses with each number,
both in style of illustrations, as well as in good
residing matter We think that the hardest
part of the Lanterns battle for popularity has
been fought, is has deserved success, and, we
think, will have it. When professedly comic
paper can so well mix the pathetic, the touch
ing, the humane, with the humorous, all classes
oughr to encourage it. Look for the truly good

HUGHES VERSUS BALcH, VERSUS AN OLD
BOOK WE HAvE.-Divers of the good people of
the city are much exercised, this chaugeable
spring weather, on the point whether Protest.
antism CT Catholicism is the real and genuine
religion. Archbishop Hughes. and other rever-
end fathers, take up the cudgels for the latter
cause, and give lectures at various places Then
come the equally reverend soldiers of the cross,
Balch, and Murray, and Brownlee, ct cetera, with
eudgels and lectures on the other side.
To settle this exciting contest we have hauled
out from our venerable leather trunk, the mode
rate sized old Bible which we received from a
best-beloved friend, "a common enough edition,
but we wouldn't take any money for it, and

er, is this to visit the fatherless and widows in
their affection, and to keep thyself unspotted
from the world.'
Now, reverend fathers, do you preach this
doctrine to your folksl Do you not rather en-
courage wrangling and petty sectarian disputes
and prejudices, and bad blood, and strife between
neighbors, and uncharitableness
Probably man, out Of all the manifold silli-
nesses that lay in wait to seize on the human In
terest, can make no more stupid misuse of his
brains, than to dispute concerning abstract tenets
of theology, against some second man who don't
think like the first. We dare say that the Right
Rev. Bishop Hughes is smart enough, and means
well and that the exceedingly reverend Messrs
Balch and Murray are also good souls but if
they either of them ever chanced to kick a piece
of damp orange peel off the sidewalk, they de-
serve more for that, than all that will be due
them for their exposures of the pros and cons of
their different "religions." But then how can
folks rest in peace while part of the world be

blood, and another part VOW that in the same

AN OLD STORY.


The snow falls fast in the silent street.
And the wind is laden with cutting sleet;
And there is pittiless glare in the sky
AS 8 fainting woman goes wandering By.
The rags that wrap her wasted form,
Are frozen stiff in the perishing storm;
And she is 80 cold, that the snow fakes resi-
Dnmelted, upon her marble breast.
Ali who could believe that those rayless eyes
We're once as sunny as April Hhies3
And the flowers she plucked in the early spring
Loved TO be touched by so pure thingi
-ris psst-aDd the farce wind shrieking by,
browns the faint gasp Of her parting sigh
And lifeless she falls at the outer gate
OF him who has left her desolste
silently falls the snow on her face,
Clothing her form in It's stainless grace;
hs thongh Cod in his mercy, had willed that shs
Should die in 3 garment ef purity.

The PEOPLE SHOULD KEEP THEIR EYES
OpEN.-The Tribune informs US that ''several
property owners and tenants in the lower part of
the city have petitioned the Common Council to
have the Battery fence on the north side set
back 50 as to run diagOnaIy toward Castle Gar
den, making Battery place 100 feet wide at
Broadway, and $50 feet at Washington street. :"
Now we do most sincerely hope that the Common
Council will lay this plan to destroy the Battery
on the shelf The Battery is the property of the
whole people of our city, and should not be cut
up for the benefit of few speculatoes. What
does the Tribune mean by saying property
owners and tenasits have united in this petition!
Is it meant to tn ow dust in the eyes of the peo-
pie in regard to the true motive of this opera
tionl We are q little curious to know who
the men are who have signed this petition, and
shall take some pains to fl out.
