BE assured there is no occasion for you to ask par
don of your friends of the religious press" when
you give to the world such views, particularly those
in respect to the comparative estimate Of "sermons
and ''prayers in our churches. For years have
been panied with the undue exaation Of sermons and
the disregard Of devotional exercises in the churches
to which you refer, especially in that church to
which / belong. | have endeavored to im-
press my views on others in public and in
private. / have two objects in view in sending
this note: one, to assure you that your sugses
courage my brethren the ministry to give uterance
their convictions until the much nc eded reform of
esslting the idea Of Divine Worship is effected Al
low NE to say, for their encouragement, that have
preached in many Of the Presbyterian, Baptist aud
Methodist Churches, ON the text, "My Hcuse shall
be called the House of Prayer" in which have
largely insisted that the prominent object Of our
Christian assemblies is the WORSHIP Of God These
we have been well received and many Christians
az different denominations have expressed to me their
gratitude for the ed6caion they protested to have
received.
would only add that, in my opinion, the system
adopted by tie Episcopal Church for the condGct OF
religious services on the Sabbath is in theory much
more in harmony with the Sacred Scriptures, ana
comes nearer 20 the lust idea of Divine Worship than
that adopted by the Presbyterian Church. admre

MORALITY oS SHIPBoARD-We have been in
formed by gentleman who had the fact directly from
Mr.. We're Foster that he made special arrangements
with Capt. Marshall, ofthe City of Mobile, 10 regard
to the party Of young women which be put on board
OF that chip. The captain it is said agreed not only
to keep them from the Sailors but also to place them
in the second cabin and prevent, as TAR as possible
communication between them and the rest OF the pas
sepgers. Capt Marshall no doub. thought he did his
best to effect that but Mr. Foster considered rather
strange that he should prevent the person specially
employed to care for their wants from entering their
apartment while the sailors allowed to go there
at all hours Of the night. While on his way West
with the rest of his little band Mr. Foster was shocked
to learn the extent of the debauchery which prevailed
on this ship. To our informant be expressed the
deepest regret that he did not come out on the vesse
with them himself. Hereafter he will invariably &C.
company his proteges in person. Mr. Foster has re,
turned to Ireland for another company, which he VIII
bring out in the Fall.
In regard to the question Of morality on shpboard'

The Copper Mines of Lake Superior.
From the Lake Superior Miner, April H..

At the Norwich Mine they have struck
new and important masses. One in the back
of the " level, is uncovered for the height of
two stopes-24 feet, and still going up. \
blast was put in behind it and fired without
the least effect. indicating considerable
amount of copper. In fact the indications for
a very large mass at this point are quite good.
We are pleased to observe signs of incrcas-
ing energy in the direction of the mine. Their
affairs are in very good shape, and we regard
the stock as much more valuable than the
have at present some 81 tons of copper at the
mouth ready for shipment at the opening of
navigation, and before the first day of June
they will undoubtedly have raised an amount
sufficient to make up - tons as the winters
product. The copper is of high purity and is
certainly worth 500 per ton, or $4,000.
They have supplies on hand amounting to
about $500. The assessment will produce
S2O,000-making total assets $1,000. They
have bonded debt Of about $4,000 and
other indebtedness say ST. ,j0O-making to-
tai liabilities about &26,5O0-lcaving clear
balance Of S;}l 900. This alone would carry
them along for about year 1t would be
singular indeed if that rich course of mass
copper in which the shaft was sunk, and which
is dipping westward from it, is the only cop
per in the hill. 1t is found to be rich where
ever it is struck, and there is great probable
ty that parallel courses may be found equally
good. If openings were extended with a view
to meet such courses. the discovery of a sec
end one OF equal value would at once give the
Norwich an enviable position among our mi
ming interests
