Carl ScEsssrz at Boston.

CARL SCHURz met with n warm recep-
ton at Boston on the 18th, where he was
invited to participate in the commemora-
ton of the birthday of JEFFERSON. He
had public reception at Faneuil Hall,
and Boston delighted to do him honor.
The Boston journal says Of him:
Dealing with general principles and
never descending to the small expediences
of the hour, bis public speeches bear the
impress ola great mind. A distinguished
United States Senator has said that mo
man in this county has the eloquence of
Carl Schurz.'"
AT the Festival, the sixth regular toast
was as follows:
Wisconsin.--The pioneer in the prac-
teal vindication of the sovereignty Of the
States in the protection of personal Eber-
ty. We greet her to-day in the person
Of one Of her bravest champions.
CARL ScHURz was called on to reply,
and loudly cheered both at the beginning
and close Of his speech.

The SIcKLEs TRIAL excites great inter-
est. Mrs. Sickles' confession affords a pro-
life theme for discussion. Most of the
leading newspapers have published it,
though others are Mortified at such dis
regard Of deccncy, and wall over the de
generacy of character which panders to
such prurient public curiosity.
For our part, we regard the confession
as the most moral part of the tragedy,
though we think man who could ask a
wife to write such a confession, aud allow
his counsel to read it in open court, and
send it out all over the world, shows a
brutality and coarsencss. of nature, which
IS sgraceful both to lis heart and his
head. 81

Folly OF ATHElsM-I had rather be-
lieve al the fables in the Legend, the
Tulmud and the Koran, than this univtr-
sal traIne is without mind. God never
wrought miracles to convince Atheists;
because bis ordinary works are sufficient
to convince them. 1t is true that little
philosophy inclineth mems minds to Ath-
eism; but depth in philosophy bringeth
them back to religion; for while the mind
of man ooketh upon second causes scat
tered, it may son etimes rest on them, and
go no further; but when it beholdeth the
chain of them confederate and linked to-
gether, it must needs fly to Providence
and Deity.-Lord Bacon.
