aay There is ore singular custom in

RB There is ore singular custom in
the churches of New England that often
produce great Inconvenience and no little
disturbance. We alIuGe to the idea that
the extremity Of the pew is the seat of
honor and must invariably be given to
the ladies. 1t is usually conceded to the
female head Of the family. So powerful
is thfs custom that if lady comes ir late
and wishes seat, every gentleman in the
sip or pew must leave it and parade out
into the aisle to give her this coveted post
Of honor. There seems now no reason
for this custom, and it should be given
up. When the custom originated there
was a powerful reason for it. When the
assembled worshipers might be attacked
by the Indians in the very moment of de-
votion, and when, for purposes of defence,
the male members took their muskets to
church, it was very proper that they
should have the front of the pew to rush
at once to repel the attack. Then the ir-
ner seat was the seat of comparative safe.
ty. That YVES given TO the matron, who
gathered..the young children around her.
The father, Of necessity, took the head of
the pew, with his grown up stalwart sons
next him, each with his musket before
him. They never kneeled then in pray
er, or bowed the head. 1t was an unsafe
position. 1t must have been a grand
spectacle to those calmly heroic men, ,wor-
Shipping their Sod, leaning on their mus
kets, with their eyes and ears open not
only to their pastor, but to the possible
attacks of their foes. Thus originated
custom of arranging the occupants of
pew which has become, from habit, USE
less and troublesome in modern tines
Svme churches have already dispensed
with the custom, and find it saves much
confusion.-Hauford Courant.

Wonderful Cure OF n Lifelong Cripple.

The Madison wis Journal tells a
marvellous story Of the man her in which
n gentleman residing in Befoit was cured
of Iameness. From his birth his riph,
hip had been out of place, 80 that his
right leg was several inch, shorter sthan
the left; and it was only by wearing n
very thick soled shoe that he was able to
limp about. When fat gucd he was ac-
customed to feel great pain in his hip
Two or three months ago he was in Chi
cago attending to some business matters
which kept him for several weeks. He is
a professor Of religion, and while there
attended series OF religious meetings
becoming very deeply interested in the
subject.
One Saturday, suffering from severe
pain in his hip. he called upon surgeon
TO have it examined, and to ascertain
whether something could not be done to
TO alleviate the pain. Some interruption
occurred, however, so that the txamina
ton was postponed until the following
Monday. That night after going to bed,
the Pain continuing, it occurred to him
whether or not, if he asked in the proper
spirit, some Divine assistance might be
vouchsafed, as in the old time when the
prophets and the apostles walked the
earth He arose from his bed. procured
a light, and t'king his Bible, opened BY
chance to chapter in the New Tesla
ment where Christ miraculously healeI
lame man. After reading it, he proceed
ed to invoke, in an earnest prayer, some
similar Intervention in his own behalf, and
then feeling greatly cheered and support
ed by tlust in the Divine beniGcence, he
again retired to rest and soon fell asleep.
During the night he dreamed that Christ
came to him accompanied by surgeon
the same upon whom he had called Gur>
ing the day. The surgeon examined his
hip and told him it could be relieved, but
only by an operation. To this he raised
some objection. desiring that it should be
postponed, but the surgeon seemed sudden
ly TO seize and overpower him, and with
some instrument laid open his hip to the
bone, and arranged The joint in its place.
During the oppera,ion he had the impress
sion OF suffering severe physical pain, as
if really under tie knife Of a surgeon
After it, he had no further remembrance
OF anything until morning. Upon ri sing.
he found to his utter astonishment, not
only that his short leg was lengthed out
so rs TO be even with the other, and his
hip all right, but that he could walk with
out limping or inconvenience. He walk
ed about the room several times. then put
OIL his clothes and ran up and down stairs
to assure himself that he was awake and
no longer lame man, but sound al d
whole. His joy and gratitude cannot well
be described. He Immediately discarded
the boot with the false sole, which had
hitherto been necessity. and put on a
pair that were mates. His leg was still
weak, yet, though limping slightly from
long habit, he could walk as straight
as any other man when he chose. 1t has
since grown stronger, and his general
health materially improved. He of course
considers the cure a direct answer 10 his
supplica,iou.

is testimony against Judge Douglas, W hich

that demagogde can play upon both
sides OF the same question: Douglas knew
that the vote Of Cox would be necessary
to carry the bill through the House, and,
therefore, instructed him how to VOTE
When it came to the Senate he knew that
it would pass without his vote, and voted
against it; this playing on both sides Of

If education is the great buckler Of hu

equally the buckler and shield of indiyid-

trade. Better any trade than none though
there is ample field for the adoption OF
every inclination in this respect. Learns

chooses to exercise it. Let him feel too
that honest labor crafts are honorable and
noble. The men of trades-the creatures
of whatever is most essential 10 the neces-
sites and welfare of mankind cannot be
dispensed with; they above all others in
whatever rcpute they may be held by
their more fastidious fellows, must work
at tie oar Of human progress or all is los. .
But few brown handed trade workers
think of this, or appreciate the real posi-
ticn and power they compass.
Give your son trade, no tlfatter what
fortune he may have or seem likely to- in
herit. Give him trade and an educa-
tlon-at any rate. With this he can al
ways battle with temporal want, can al-
ways be independent. and batter fnde-
pend~ncc with n moderate education than

with him at Chambery, and his last reco m

OF GARIBALDI, TRY to beat him try to catch
him, and, above all, hang him - The CORES

and belle wing the step to be premature and njudi
cous, Judge Field wished 10 coun teract, as far as
in his power, the influence OF opinions leading to
this result. and was thus induced to write his letter
to the Obserrer. The letter sustained the policy
of abiding the election Of Mr. Lincoln only - 80
long he supports the Constitution of the United
States and executes IN good faith the laws
of the UuIon' Whatever NAV nave been the
form and tone OF the letter, the purpose was an
honest one, and one which better men than the
