Queer Ideas of Religion.

A morning paper of Tuesday protest:
against the Queen of Great Britain being
included in the prayers offered by Bishop
McIlvaine at st. Johns Church, on Sunday,
for persons in authority. 1t says:
''This may be very proper and compli-
mentary to our titled visitor, but, that the
King of Kings" his master and ours
needed to be reminded especially that Queen
Victoria was in existence, we do not believe
| 1t is to be regretted that in the house of God,
| before whose throne all are equal, according
to their merits, the regular service, as writ
! ten in the book of Common Prayer, should
be interfercd with. We make these remarks
in all kindness, and but re-echo the seuti-
ments of many who noticed the interpola-
| ton"
When that paper published its first Sunday
number, it was eloquent on the holy Sab
bath. Surely its Sabbaths have been spent
to little purpose, if these are its religious
ideas. Has the 'King of kings need to be
reminded especially that the President
twas in existence" or any body else2 Did
he need to be reminded that the congrega-
tion was in existence2 What is the Queen,
that she should not be prayed for? But it
sOSLhS th1t tuc Icguldr SerVlCC' is unlSneQ,
and that none whose names are not written
in that can be prayed for. The bars of the
book of Common Prayer are put up, and can
not "be interfered with p'
Our business men, and our young men,
hold prayer-meetings daily to remind God
of their existence" They present requests
that "God may be reminded of the existence"
of their absent friends. On Saturday morn
ing in the Business Mems Prayer-meeting,
"God was reminded of the existence" of the
Prince and suit by fervent prayers for them,
and that their visit might rebound to His
glory, which, undoubtedly, were answered.
One day this week the Reverend Doctor who
presided at the Young Mems Prayer-meet-
ing, made request that the regular attend
ants ofthe meetings would give notice when
they were aboutto leave the city temporarily,
that the meeting might ''remind God of their
existence" and secure His care over them.
The comment on the Bishops proper prayer
for the Queen is equally an attack upon all
prayer. We should like to see the "many"
whose sentiments are thus "re-echoed."

Ar ristOcratic Noses on the Wrong Scent.
Some of the exclusives of tour first soci-
ETY." could not go to the Princes ball at the
Opera-house, because it was thrown open to
the public. We have the most profound
respect for tho distinctions of American
society. Indeed, our reverence for them is
that of the finite mind for the incomprehen-
sible. But surely they who set themselves
up as the eEte, ought to understand the
usages of good society. The ball was given
TO the Prince. That would establish its
social rank in the most aristocratic society
in England, which is the most exclusive
society in the world. How delicate must
be the situation of "our first society,""
that royalty and nobility, whose presence
carries aristocracy wherever it goes, could
not save "our first society" from falling
to the level of any thing unclean, which it
happened to come in contact with What
must be the delieacy of the aristocratic nos
tril, which is so keen for vulgar odors that
it has no scent for the air of royalty2 The
thing is very queer. Our serene de la ereme'
of society meant well, and with better
knowledge of the etiquette of aristocratic
society would improve.
An anecdote may be pertinent A snob
had nobleman to dine, and insisted that he
should take the head of the table, until the
nobleman, losing patience, took his host by
the shoulders and thrust him into the seat,
saying "Wherever l sit will be the head to
thee" In 'our best society" the thing
works different. 1t has no power to elevate,
nor is it self-sustaining, but it takes its rank
from the lowest element with which it comes
in contact. That is why it is so timid about
going into public assemblies. Even Prince
can't save IT,

collections, he would be hung up at once as
an incendiary person.
This game of mercantile politics has been
tried to some extent here. We are told that
the prosperity of Cincinnati depends on the
Southern trade, and merchants and manufac-
turers are warned that they must hold no
political opinions that are obnoxious to
the South. Our city is largely interested
in the Southern trade, and the way for our
traders to keep and increase their trade with
the South is to mind their business and lot
mix politics with it, holding what political
opinions they please. There is no necessity
to sacrifice their manhood, nor their right Of
opinion, and if there were such a call on
them, they would spurn it.
The solvent and safe business men of the
South have always traded where it was for
their interest to trade, and always will.
When a man mixes political considerations
with the credit he asks, it will be safe to set
him down sharper, who has no credit in
the section whose rights he is so anxious
about And when a Northern merchant
offers political considerations as an induce
ment to Southern purchaser Of his goods,
he subjects the future payment of them to all
the future party contingencies, and to any
political charge that an embarrassed debtor
may choose to set up against his section.
This is just The man who makes sectional
politics consideration in trade, subjects his
trade to the contingencies of sectional poll
tics, and it is just that his payment should
depend on the result of sectional political
contests. In short, when q man offers him
self in the market with his goods, it is fit
that he should be "sold."

RELIeIoUs PERSECUTION IN RUss1A.-A
Polish Roman Catholic, named Tokarski, was
married last year, near Zytomierz, to a Rus
sian girl, member of the National Greek
Church; but the Greek ecclesiastic who per-
formed in the ceremony neglecting to i'm.
pose upon them the obligation of bringing
up their children in the Greek Church, theiI
hrst-Dorn was baptized in the faith of Rome
in consequence of which Tokarski has been
arrested, the Greek ecclesiastic degraded and
forcibly enlisted as a common soldier in the
army, and the Roman Catholic priest-a
monk 40 years old-who ofieiated at the
baptism has been banished to Siberia.

Discovery OF NEW MOTIVE Power SU-
PERIoR TO STRAM.-A correspondent of the
Boston Herald writes from Nashua, N. H.
IA motive power has been discovered and
satisfactorily tested, which, it is estimated,
will not only be more effective than steam
as a motive power, but which will be eighty
per cent. cheaper Think not that am ro-
mancing, for speak by the card upon the
best authority, The new motor of which
speak will be found TO be not only more
powerful than steam, but will be worked
with entire safety. 1t can also be used for
every variety of mechanical purposes-for
turning the tiny lathe of the goldsmith, op-
Grating the printers press driving through
the deeps marine vessels, and even can the
ladies use it to whirl the wheels of their
sewing-machines. II can also be transferred
TO the kitchen, and there be made 10 propel

Alice Cnrr nnd Her Pnrtrr.


Alice Cary is a woman Of fine intellectual
gifts, and has the poetic faculty largely de-
velOped: indeed few, if any, of her sex are
equal to her in the creative faculty, and the
power Of expression belonging to the race Of
singers. We may be biased in her favor but
we believe her the first poetess in America,
though we judge her by what she has done,
not by what she is doing.
Many Of her productions are musical as
Apollo's lyre beautiful as roses, sweet as the
breath of vernal morn. Once read, they are
remembered; they continue echoing for years
through the mind, and fill the heart with good
impulses long after their distinct recollection
has died away.
Within few years, however, her muse
has walked wearily, often stumbling, often
falling to the earth. She is not what she
washer verse is efete; her inspiration
gone; her thought emasculated And yet
even in her crude and careless rhymes one
discovers touch of the earlier nature
thrill of the familiar music; an apparently
accidental image of the past; revealing the
smothered power and the Opaque idea.
OF recent months, however, even these
symptoms of her former self have dis
appeared, and she has written, or allowed to
be published under her name, the merest
trivialties, without redeeming merit--the
veriest twaddle and nothing more. Every
week she seems to grow worse, and we can
hardly believe now she is the same Alice
Cary we artistically knew few years ago.
As specimen of her lamentable verse, we
reproduce stanza or two from one of her
late effusions, entitled Counting the Chick
ens":
Gene, joel come, Johnyl the chickens are out,
AS true as am aliyel
Let me cOunt-One, two, three, four
Oh, if could but find one more
VI the beauties, that will be 1vel
Just look and see how they hop about
And see what pretty thing
The little gray one is, and oh!
There is another onel see it, Joe,
With its head through its mothers wing.
What could be worse than this? Are
these lines Alice Cary's2 They are, indeed,
though no wonder they appear otherwise.
Had we not observed her steady downward
progress, intellectually speaking, we would
not belleve her capable OF such rhythmic
Stiffness, such measured inanity.
What can be the cause of this great change?
Has she lost her art, or is she the victim of a
false school? We think the latter; that she
has newly fallen in love with that literary
nonentity, Wordsworth, the worst and most
empty of all bards, and sought to make him
her model The sacred sisterhood pity her,
if she have! for we feel she is beyond all
cure. Let her former admirers bury her in
the grave of idealessness, and love her for
what she was.
If she possesses a particle of the fire of her
former nature; if she has not forgotten the
sweet, sad airs of her pensive spirit, let her
shake off this lethargy of nonsense and touch
the harp, as once she did, till the weaned
hearts return again to drink her refreshing
song.
