lively failed to get the programme of the
dances.
"In the main grounds, the Union Cornet
Band with their new instruments delighted
the crowds with their music, while the Twi-
light Sercnaders were kept musical all day
long, by the voices Of women and girls, who
surrounded them with a rampant of charms,
denying their cgrcss without some specimen
Of their vocal attributes. The singers fairly
made themselves hoarsc with their efforts.
All was hilarity and enjoyment throughout
the afternoon, everybody appearing to be
happy just in proportion as they had alb
sorbcd clans, land here arises the question
Of the relation of good humor to baked
clans. Perhaps the gentleman who took
the money at the gate will inform us.) We
call particular attention to this new social
meteor, in consequence of hearing some gen
tlemen who never were considered musical,
successfully attempting the Star Spangled
Banner, with variations, about thirty rods
from Clinton Forest, where a contraband
lager beer merchant had opened his wares.
No one will be unkind enough to intimate
that the music came from the lager. No
"The festival altogether was a success,
and has initiated a new order of excursions,
which we hope will be followed up. The re-
ceipts at the gate were over four hundred
dollars, we understand, and Mt the different
booths, &C., several hundred dollars more. The
proceeds are for the benefit of the Niagara
Street Methodist Church, and will prove a
great assistance to them in paying of the
debt of the Church. The ladies particular
ly deserve the highest encomiums for their
efforts and attempts to make the Festival a
model one, and carrying it on to triumph.
"When we left at six o'clock, there were
thousands on the ground, and load after load
coming out"
Do you not think, Mr.. Editor, that sin.
ners must be incorrigibly impenitent, who
will not yield to these combined attractions,
thrown around the cross of Christ Do you
think there can possibly be the least hope of
one who still holds out, after the Church
spreads her tables with "delicacies of all
sorts'-not spiritual food unappreciable by
bodily appetite-but substantial l~uxuries,
such as "clam bake and ~chowder," 'ice-
cream and "sponge cake with "handsome
women and young and pretty damsels, -
for attendants, and the Twilight Serena
ders' and the "Union Cornet Band" to sing
the invitation,
Come sinners to the Gospel feast !"
We should like to task for information, -
if those who get to heaven in this way, vii
not have a different song to sing, from those
who "denied themselves" came out from tht
world, and took up their cross, and followed
Jesus2
Can any doubt, after reading the above
account of an NJ. Z. Church Festival, evi
IDENTIFY intended to be complimentary, thai
we so slandered H Church in our New
School Mothodism,' that we, and all whC
~sympathize with us, should be expelled
without benefit of appeal?

prietors. The sum total of the latter is
placed ut one huRared and Sirt' en- thousand.
Of these. five thousand are not owners Of
land and yet they hold in their possession
thirty thousand house-slaves, or slaves hired
out. Between six and seven millions are
divided amongst the highest nobility, num-
bering less than fifteen hundred. The most
wretchcd Of these unhappy creatures are
those who belong to the poorest Of the land
owners who, to the number of about fifty
thousand, own some twenty serls cach.-
There is no tyran. like the little tyrant, who
eXpends all the resources Of a mean but i'm
perious nature upon a few miserable victims.
These are barely hints, yet they may aid
the reader in forming some idea of the sub
Iject. The difficulties which the Emperor
finds meeting him in his efforts to effect Il
general emancipation are partly in the fact,
that all those to whom he would look for the
execution Of his purposes are deeply inter-
csted in keeping things as they are, while
the whole system Of goyernmenC is so CON
structcd and managed as to make the EN-
peror-Autocrat though he be-powerless
for anything really good. A late Russian
author declares, and apparently with perfect
truth, that the Emperor himselfhas no pow
er, except for evil. He can terrify, torture,
and Danish, and might even bid heads fall mt
his pleasure, like any Khan in Central Asia;
but he annot administer Justice, or reform
the smallest abuse. Apparently, his only
chance as regards self-emancipation, is to
revolutionize the whole system of admins
%tration, and thus deliver both himself and
his people from the usurpations and imposi-
tons of the aristocracy. The fear is that
Alexander Ii. is not the man to carry
through such an undertaking, however much
he might desire the change. That he really
intends the abolition of serfdom, no one
doubts. And in this he only follows the ex-
ample of both his father, the Emperor Mich
olas, and his grandfather, Alexander L.,
both of whom, at times at least, contempla-
ted the same. He is, too, a man of many
virtues, truly devoted to his people, and anx-
ious to secure their highest welfare. But
has he strength of mind and purpose sufi-
cant for a successful encounter with such
difficulties as stand in his way? Those among
his subjects who truly sympathizo in his
plans are allowed no access to him. In nu-
mcrous instances they have become obnox-
ious to the corrupt and tyranuical ministry,
and are obliged to save their lives by vol
untary exile. Many believe that no changes
will be made except as the result of a rev.
%olution and a war of classes. Such a war
among such a people would be hideous be-
yond description, Well it is for the world
that there is One, higher than the highest,
whose hands hold the reins of actual empire,
and whose perfect mind guides all events to-
ward ultimate good Christian Times.

MisttlIaneous
BOTH SIDES.

A man in his carriage was riding along,
A gaily dressed wife by his side
In satin and lace she looked like a queen,
And he like a king in his pride.
n wooesawyet stood on the street as they passed
Tho carriage and couple he eyed,
And said, as he worked with his saw IN a log,
Il wish I was rich and could ride"
The man in the carriage remarked to his wife
"one thing I would give if ! could
] would give all my wealth for the strength and
the health
OF the man who sawe,h tho wood"
A pretty young maid, with Il bundle Of work,
Whose face as The morning was fair,
Wen. tripping along with a smile of delight,
While humming a love- ~reathinS air.
She looked on the carriass-the lady che saw,
Arrayed in apparel SO fine,
And said in II whisper, II wish FROM my heart
Those setins aud laces were mine"
Tho lady 10 ked out on the maid with her work,
SO fair in her calico dress,
And said, nd relinquish possession and wealth
Her beauty and youth to possess"
Thus in this world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time we employ,
In longing ard signing for what we have not,
Ungrateful for wbAs we enjoy.
We welcome the pleasure for which we hav,
sighed,
The heart has a void in it still
Growing deeper aud wider the longer we live,
That nothing bot heaven can Ell.

1.-The following remarks will apply to others
perhaps, besides Temperance reformers.1
Rrom the Wisconsin Chief,
CAN'T COME.

I'VE need you here much. Can you not
come? We have no church, but we will
pledge you a school. house full and a u most en-
thusiastic welcome
The above is one of the many pressing
invitations, to which we respond:
We have nearly twenty years of large in
vestments in large meetings and enthusiastic
welcomes. Both are gratifying to a friend
of the cause, but like the boarder's pudding
and milk, after fifty or sixty meals, become
quite too common. A lifetime of such re.
ceptions, we are both sorry and Inundated
to say, bring poverty with fame, and leave
the unselfish recipient without a roof of his
own, or a shot in the locker for a rainy day.
With no capital but poor health and a shat
tered body, we find ourself engaged in a
hand-to-hand battle for food and raiment for
a platoon Of those of our own flesh and
blood, and who have higher claims upon our
time and labor, than any reform. To the
young and the ambitious, large meetings and
enthusiastic welcomes may be a consideration;
to one who has wife and children and his hair
beginning to whiten, they bring but sad re-
turns. They do not ''buy the child a frock''
or fill the larder.
Again: We are tired of this jug-handle
system, leaving "A single arm to give all the
blows, and the many quietly enjoying the
fight. This large amount of mere profession,
becomes tedious-almos repufsive. We are
sorry to say, that n~inety-nine out of the
hundred who attend lectures, and laugh and
weep, never seem to care whether he who
tolls to give an unpopular cause life and in
%terest, is clothed or fed; WHISTLER his stage
or railroad fare is looked to; whether he
lives ordies. They will attend such meetings
for a life time without %deeming brain-work
and time to do it, of any account; nay, they
