Church yesterday dismissed their pastor,
Rev. Monrheid b. Conway, on account of
having preached against slavery. 1t was
done by small majority. Some Of the ali.

New Lospos, Conn, Oct G.--At our
town elccii IN to-day the republican ticket
was elected 'y a majority ranging from l50
10 300. Pifle's majority in 1852 was 800.
Grafton, Norwich, Montheil, Waterford
and l.ycr hare all gone for the republicans
We KNOW hIt more certain symptom OF
hypocrisy IA :elig,on than in minds, them
selves obviously worldly in the extreme, nm
exaggerated condemnation of all little WORLD
illness in all other honest people, gravely
jogging, or gsiiy skipping along their path
, o. lie. Those people are often the least
worldly, on whom they who make the loud
/ est boast Of their unwordlness, seek base
y to aflx that opprobrious cpithet. For
they walk tho world with heart pure as il
Is cheerful: they are, by that unpretending
purity, saved from Infection, and as there
are rs many fair and healthy faces TO be seen
IN the SMOKE and stir Of cities, AS in the rL-
raj wlids, 50 also are there rs many fair and
healthy spiiits. The worid--the wicked world
has no. ths power over us Christians that
the eanters say; and ~ for the mere amuse-
ments u tho world-frlvulous a. they NAV
TOO often bc-littls or no power have they

TO listen to some folks, you would think
/ that all tho boys and girls one sees, ''like
/ gay creatures of the clement dancing un-
der a Chandler pendant from the roof, like
some starry constellation, were quadrilling
away TO the sound Of music, into the bot
tomless pit. Is it not, for example, most
disgusting and loathesome, 10 hear some
broadbacked, thiek-calyed, greasy faced,
nell-fed, ana not badiy-drunk caititf, OF
some cantlnE caste, Distinguished in private
ana public life for the gross sreediness with
which they gobbe up everything eatablc
within the reach Of their hairy fists
preaching AMI praying, ani exhorting young
people, fnli Of flesh and blood, of the purest
and clenrcst quality, to forsake and for
swear the woyid-to quell within them all
mortal vanitie,, and appettes and lus =?
To whom Is the hound haranguing p
What means he by lusts, while the sweet face
is before him Of that innocent girl If fifteen
or twenty? For what are years to her, into
whose ewes tod and the Saviour have put
their light angelcal-that inetfable lowell
ness, as pure rom faint az the beauty Of the
rose blu,hiug ON her lily breast, which she
gathered Ii the dewy garden few hours ago,
among the earliest songs Of birds, while vet
the penslyc es preston mad not time to leave
her couutenarce, still lingering there from
the pie,y OF her soul breathed prayers p
Shocking to Lear the ugly monster coarsely
canting to such creature of her--corrup-
toni She knows that she belongs - fii-
len nature. often times her tears have dow
ed to think how undeserying she was Of all
, the goodness showered on her head from
heaven. Often hath she looked up the lilies
. the field, and envied their Innocence -
Meek and humble is she, even in her most
joyful happiness; contrite and repentant
, even over the shadows Of sin that may have

clouds suddeuly over 'a stationary spot OIL
