CHURCH Music EXCITEMENT IN NY.
A New York letter of the Sth ult.,
says:-
There is much excitement in the
Episcopal circles here in consequence of
furious assault upon the choir and con-
gregation of Grace Church in the col
umns of last weeks Churc hman, which
claims to be the organ par ercelIence.-
Its choir, the Churchman says, is only
an orchestra, where only operatic music
of the most sensuous kind is performed,
and the provisional bishop is invoked to
stop the awful blasphemy. Besides,
the congregation are denounced as not
a whit better. The Churchman SAYS:
1t is not a worshipping people, but one
that goes TO be tickled' "They come
in with an air and smirk, which tell the
same tale" "The ladies sometimes be-
have there as they do at the opera, or
the theatre, or in the ball room, while
the men as freely criticise, in their pews,
the performances of the organ loft, as
they would in the dress circle at the
Academy. or Wallack's, Don Giovanni,
or Norma
have said this blast from the
Churchman is creating great excite
ment; but not so much because it is the
Churchman that says it, as the report
that it was written by an eminent au-
thority in the Episcopal Church, and is
supposed to be preliminary practical
step towards following up the sugges-
tions of the bishops pastoral, recon-
mending the suppression of light and
irreverent music

A PLEA FOR OUR PHYSICAL LIFE

A PLEA FOR OUR PHYSICAL LIFE.
BY CHARLES MAcKAY.
We do our nature wrong,
Neglecting over long
The bodily joys that help to make US wise;
The ramble up the slope
OF the high mountain cope,
The long days walk, the vigorous exercise;
The fresh luxurious bath,
Far from the trodden path
Or mid the waees, dashng with harmless roar,
Lifting off our feet upon the sandy shore
Kind Heaven! there is no end
OF pleasures, as we wend
Our pilgrimage in lifes unlevious way
If we but know the laws
OF the Eternal Cause
And for His glory and good obey;
But intellectual pride
Sets half these joys aside,
And our perennial care absorbs the soul much,
That lite grows dim and cold beneath deadening touc
Welcome, ye plump green meads,
Ye streams and signing reeds!
Welcome, We fields, waving lika a sea;
Welcome, the leafy bowers
And children gathering flowers,
And farewell for while, sage drudgeryi
What though we're growing old,
Our blood is not yet cold
Come with me to the fields, thou man of many ills,
And give thy limbs chance among the daffodils
Come with to the woods,
And let their solitudes
Reecho to our voices go.
Upon thy merry brain
Let childhood again,
Spite of thy wealth, thy learning or thy wol
Stretch forth thy limbs and leap
Thy life has been asleep;
And though the wrinkles deep may furrow thy pale brow
show me, if thou art wise, how like a child thou!
~ An editor "out West" writing
with the fumes of a vile cigar poisoning
the atmosphere of his sanctum, ventures
the following genial wishes to those whc
use the weed"
MAY never lady press his lips,
His proffered love returning,
Who makes furnace of his mouth,
And keeps its chimney burnnei
May each true woman shun his sight
For fear her fumes would choke her;
AMI none but those who smoke themselves
Have kisses for n smoker !"

POLITICAL PREACHING.-Some years
since-so the story runs-a substantial
farmer in the state, who was a federal
ist, had servant who was a violent
democrat. The farmer, wont to attend
church himself tried hard to prevail up
on his servant to do the same. But in
vain. He persisted in spending his
Sabbaths at home. On being asked
why he was so opposed to going to
church, his answer was, because the par
son was for ever preaching politics.
The farmer thinking that that argument
would be overcome, if he could only get
his servant to hear his minister, hired
him on certain Sabbath morning to go
On returning home the servant said,
There, it was just as / told you it
would be; all politics from beginning to
end
No. said the farmer, not so, there
was not one word of politics in the whole
DISCOURSE
Yes said the servant: there was;
the text was politics.
why, what was it 2 said the farmer
This, said the servant: 1If the fed
eralists scarcely be saved, where will
the cursed democrats appearP
NO, it was not was the reply. 'On
the contrary, it was, If the righteous
scarcely be saved, where shall the un-
godly and the sinner appearp'

A COURT SCENE I'M KANSAS.

ant, quite an amusing and novel scene
transpired in the presence of his honor,
a probate Judge of Kansas, while he was
holding court. We shall not give the
real names of parties, and hope no one
will take offence. The date of the
scene was some time in February, 1854
the locale in some county.
The court room was little log hut,
ten by twelve, with dirt chimney and
floor; chairs were scarce, and his honor
had had several chunks of wood rolled
in for seats. Upon one of said chunks
his honor sat, in all his judicial dignity.
Before him was arraigned some poor
fellow, for borrowing his neighbor's
chickens without permission, confronted
by his accuser. Upon the opposite side
of the place sat the sheriff and one of
his friends, engaged in a pleasant game
of "old sledge'; we call them Smith and
Brown.
The Judge, after adjusting his quill
and brushing back his hair several times
that his legal bumps might be thorough
ly exhibited, and looking the prisoner
full in the face, propounded an interrog-
atory like this:
Judge-Sir, what have you to say for
yourself?
Brown-Smith, beg.
Smith-I'll see you id first.
Judge-Sheriff, keep silence in the
court. Well, sir, what have you to say
about these chickensl
Brown (aside) Run the kurds, Smith.
Prisoner-I intended to pay Mr.. Wig
gings for them chickens
Judge-Why didn't
Brown-Smith, you don't come that
new kick over me follow suit, d-n you;
none of your renigueing.
Judge-This court finds it impossible
to proceed, unless you have order in the
court house.
Smith-In moment, Judge. Count
your game, Brown.
Judge-Did you eat or sell those
chickens?
Prisoner-I sold them.
Judge-How much did you make
Smith-High, low, jack, gift, and
game,
Brown-Who gave you one?
Smith, beg your pardon. Twas
you that begged.
Judge-Silence in the court.
Everything was quiet again for few
moments; the cards were shufled and
dealt, ard in the meantime his honor
proceeded with the examination.
In the height of some other questions
being propounded by the judge, Smith
begged, and Brown gave one, halloing
out
Now, rip ahead, old hoss-fve and
five.
The judge, indignant and angry, arose
from the bench and crossed to the play
ers. Before he could speak, he espied
Smiths hand, holding the jack and ten
of trumps; at the same time glancing at
big stone lying between the two, he
saw two half dollars.
Brown says the judge, III bet you
five dollars that Smith beats the game.
Done, says Brown, and up went the
orc.
Smith led off, and won the trick; led
again, and won, but no game yet; COM
menced whistling and scratching his
head.
Judge, Cleaning on Smith, and with
one eye shut) - Smith, play 'em judi
ciously.'
Smith played little heart and lost
the trick. Brown played the queen al
him and won the ten.
Hold said the judge, 'let me see
Brown What's the matter, Judge {?
Smith (impatient)-'Lead on, Brown
Brown-'Play to the ace

CONSCIENCE.


The moon was brightly shining;

FEMALE aECREms

The foundry bell rang, and Matthews
hastened home to his breakfast. The
first sound that met his ears, on opening
the door of his house, was the souallinS
children, while his other senses were re-
galed with bad smell of ashes and
steam, and the sight of his wife in the act
of mopping up puddle of brown and
white slop, which was spreading itself
over the floor. The character of poor
Matthew'S domestic comfort generally
might be seen in his wife's toilet ON the
morning in question. Her uncombed
hair sticking out under the border of q
dingy night cap, her gown open behind,
apron hanging by one string. and boots
dirty and unlaced, completed the ap-
pearance of thorough slattern. Her
husband was up to work regularly at six,
but she lay in bed till the last minute,
and then all was hurry to get breakfast
ready in time. On this morning, as US
ual, she brought down the baby, which,
uncomfortable in its wet night clothes,
lay screaming in the cradle. A little
boy, tired of being left alone, had crawl
ed to the top of the stairs, and there sat
crying in turn. Mrs. Matthews had
made the coffee, and put the milk on to
boil, and had only just run up to spank
the noisy undressed urchin on the stairs,
when she heard the milk boiling over,
and hurrying to snatch it off the fire, she
upset the coffee pot, and was mopping
up the wasted beverage as her husband
entered. She eyed him with an angry
frown, meant to show that she was not
afraid. He said nothing, and looked
around. On one side was the supper
things of the night before; on the other
the extinguished fire; in front the table
covered with dust, and the sloppy floor.
He turned on his heel and went to break
fast at coffee house, which he visited
so often under similar circumstances,
that he looked upon it as much more
more comfortable place than his own
house.
Richard Cooper, also a workman at
the same foundry, went to his breakfast
at the same hour. No sooner did he
open the door leading into the kitchen,
than little girl, the picture of cleanli-
ness, ran for kiss, and little boy, just
aole 10 crawl, seemed eager to Jump
from his mothers arms. Richards wife
was tidy and trim little body, always
neatly dressed, never looking slatternly,
even when at work. The room was
cheerful and clean, breakfast quite ready
the bright coffee pot stood steaming on
the hob, and dish of porridge and milk
on the table for the children Richard
snapped his fingers to the little boy,
kissed the girl, lifted them both into
their chairs, and sat down opposite his
wife, looking and feeling very happy.
His half hours visit to his family every
morning sent him to his work with re-
newed hope and confidence. The Sc
cret of his comfort and good temper lay
in his wife's habit of early rising and
| prudent management.

RAILROADS MAKING THEIR OWN IRON.
The New York Central Railroad Co.
manufactures its own railroad iron at
less cost than one-half its market value.
The average cost to railroad companies
is now $50 to $50 per ton, while the cost
to the manufacturer is about $50 per
ton. The cost of the Central Railroad
Company's iron works, all complete, in
cluding 1860 acres of land, containing
their ore, was Sl45,600. This sum the
company saved in one year by making
for itself the iron necessary to supply
the annual wear and tear of the read.

Hard Money currency.

Quite number of democratic papers
have got down to the old humbug cry of
"hard moner' for currency. The Rich
moud Whig, in alluding to the subject,
says:
sThe Democracy have the power to car
ry out all their projects. They have pos
session of the Federal Government and
nearly all the State Governments. Why,
then, do they not quit talking, and pro-
ceed to work? Let us have their "hard
money" currency. Let us have it forth
with. For one, we shall hold them to
their theory, and demand that they reduce
it to practice. They have been talking
about "hard money" currency for scores
of years, and the country is not yet bless
ed with it, although they have the power
to do whatever they please. We repeat
Jet them quit talking and clamoring, and
give US hard money, nothing else, and
plenty of it. We suggest that our ap,
preaching Democratic Legislature should
lead of in the glorious revolution. 1t is
the boast of the Virginia Democracy that
their policy invaribly becomes the policy
of the Democracy throughout the Union.
1t is fitting then that ou; Virginia Solons
should take the lead in this hard money
matter-and it is their bounden duty"

BACON GoING BACK AND FORWARD
The Cincinnati Commercial treats us to
the following commercial item-an inter-
esting one, in view of the present state of
commerce between England and America
"Bacon was in active demand at Liver
pool and had ADVANCED Is per cwt. This
was consequent upon the heavy shipments
made back TO New York, reaching, in all,
5000 boxes, and the article now selling in
New York Mt s@94, rendering the re-sbip-
ment from Liverpool bad adventure after
all; and we understand, from a gentleman
Just from Liverpool, that 2 900 boxes which
arrived at New York per steamer Edin-
burgh, would lot be discharged, but will
be taken back on the same steamer to Liv.
erpool!! We should call this seeking q
market under difficulties in somewhat
emphatic manner, Let us look at it mo
ment. This Bacon, in the first place, was
stripped to Liverpool from this country las
spring, remained there all summer seeking
a market, but not finding a buyer, camt
back to New York with the hope of finding
market there, but being again disappoint
ed, is about being conveyed back to Liver
pool again, in hopes of finding market
there this time"

English Horses Coming.

The Charleston Courier has the follow
ing:
"The English people of the sporting
class seem to commiserate the ill-success
of our American horses in England. And
as slight balm to our wounded pride, it
is stated that a number of British horses
will be sent to this country to contest our
afyers" on our own soil. The opinion
among them seems to prevail that Mr..
Ten Broeck's horses-Pryor aud Prioress,
Oecompte is ruled out,) are no great
shakes; so they wish to bring over some
of their horses, and see if we have any
thing at home better than those now
abroad, and worth competing with. The
gentlemen mentioned as the principles in
this matter are well known patrons of the
turf in England, two them being among
the largest betting men in the ring, and
the others owners of horses. The horses
mentioned as being among the number
likely to be brought over for this object,
are Neville, Commotion, Poodle, Polestar
and bennington. They have all proved
themselves good horses, though hardly of
a class to be called first rate
