HABITS IN THE PULpIr.-A correspondent
of the Christian Reflector is holding up few
pictures true to life, for the notice of such of
his clerical friends as may have need of them,
hoping the reflection will do no harm. lie

Notwithstanding Philadelphia shows an
excess of over so per cent in its criminal rec

inasmuch as the returns for 1855, show the
arrests for that year to be So, 657, of which

says is exclusive of arrests made by ward

There is less crime and less disorder in the

A COOP WORD FOR THE LADIES. Some of
the papers are lecturng women upon extrava.
gance in dress and advising them to retrench.

Guilty. Doubtless there are many cases Of
unwarantabe extravaganza in this way but
do people ever consider that two or three
glasses of brandy and half dozen regalias,
INDUCED in daily by man, to say nothing
of five and ten dollar dinners, amount to more
in year than would be required to dress
woman up to the full requirements of fashion?
Much of this talk about the extravaganza of
women is nonsense. They are almost uni
versally careful, and many trader would to
day have been safe and sound if he had
Listened TO the prudent counsels of his wife,
rather than the reckless promptings of his
own ambition. 1t is natural for mean men
to endeavor to shift the responsibility of their
folly to other shoulders but it is rather 90
much to charge commercial revulsion like
this upon ones wife and daughter.- Tribune

Putnam on the late Election.

Putaana's Magazine for December con
tains finely written article entitled 1.-THE
late election the first paragraph Of which
opens up the subject thus:
1.-The great triangular contest is at an
lend, and the result, for the parties which
we're engaged in it, may be summed MP
liz The following terms: that the Demo-
cratic. iiow the Pro-slavery party, has gain
ed its candidates, but damaged its cause
that the Republican party has lost its can
ldates but far hered its cause; and tha!
the aAmerican,'' composed Of fragments
Of decayed factions, had lost both candi-
dates and cause. In other words, the
Democrats, though victorious in the choice
of theft men, are successful under circum-
stances which yield them no occasion for
triumph; and the Republicans, though de-
feated; are beaten under circumstances
which render them stronger than they
were before; while the 'Amerlcans" have
injured others, but in so doing, utterly ru-
.inei themselves. The destruction of one
party, the temporary check ofanotlier, and
the doubtful ascendency of a third, is what
we read in tic significant events of No
vemher. The Democrats have won lit the
expense of their prestige, and the Re
publicans have lost with an accession of
power"
The balance of the article is written in
the same pointed, and perspicuous style,
strongly fortified with facts and convincing
argument. is well worthy an attentive
lpefusal:
