Church Reform.

We see by the London correspondence of the
NeW York Churchman, that pretty effective
war is making upon what is called the L" Pew
System" in all the Churches of the Establish.
ment in England; and we learn by the Express.
that the object of the war lis to demoIsh the
wsaltogether, so that rich and poor may m eet
together, all on the same level, without distinc.
tion. The revenue lost in pew rents, it is pro.
posed to max good by voluntary contributions.
We are not sure that this is not a penuine
"reform." There were no pews, nor veIve,
cushions. nor anything of the sort, in the davs
of primitive Christianity. The multitudes who
listened to the Apostles never heard of a pew.
yet who will say that the Christianity thew
preached was not, to say the least of it, as puro
as that which Is served up to the miserable sin.
ners in our own day, who say their PRAYERS and
confess their sins in criu. son and velvet! The
fact is, "Pews" are a luxury. aud IT the Church
ever expects 10 "reach the masse4." II will
drive the luxury out.

Vagrancy.

A stout. hearty, robust, scapegrace Of man,
was prowliDg about the streets on Friday, ask.
ing aims. and looking as low, mean and dirty
as any besotted specimen of humanity possibly
could. In the morning he begged money, and
was. an object of pity among men--in the after
noon he bought whiskey, and became mere
iump-jack, a plaything for boys!
Lazy yagabonds. and strong, healthy wan
dering mendcants should be compelled to cork
for their own support, and not otherwise en-
eonrsesd.
