our citizens. A sudden depression of colipsus

be regarded as proper indications that the com

My Dear Sir live over again the days of

to develop the imermost pecuIarities of the

John, and pluck one of the fair flowers from

it grow and blossom, and after while let the

A POstOfnee Robbed or Four Hundred Let.
ters7A Large Amount of Money Probably
Stolen.
The postofice at West Troy, NY, was en-
tered on Saturday night or Sunday morning
by burglars, and raRsacked and robbed Of
nearly all its contents. The officeis situated
on Broad-street, near the ferry-way, and is
in new, one-story brick building, recently
erected for that purpose. The burglars
effected an entrance at the rear of the build
ing, by boring through the window-shutter
with an inch-augur. A bole was made large
enough to admit of mans hand, the bolt
upon the inside was showed back, the window
raised, and access to the office was easily
gained. The letters in the boxes were all
taken out, and also the dead letters of the
past quarter, which were on the shelves,
taken from their places and every one broken
open.
About 400 letters were destroyed, a great
number of them containing money, checks
and drafts. The money-drawers were also
emptied of their contents, containing 500 or
$30 Postage-stamps to the amount of $40,
and a package of stamped-envelops, SIG,
were also taken. Nearly all letters were
opened by tearing the top of the envelop,
and after examination the letter was torn in
long strips, and scattered over the floor.
Many Of them contained drafts for large
amounts, which the robbers did not take for
fear of detection, but left them lying on the
floor.
1t Is not known how much money was
taken from the opened letters, but it must be
a large amount, as parts ofletters were found
on the floor indicating that they contained
money. The fragmentary letters were
gathered up and will be sent to the depart
ment at Washington.

The New York Evangelist has devoted an
other article to the question whether it is
right to make cheese on Sunday. The first
decided arbitrarily that il is not. This at
tempts to show how the thing can be man
aged so as to keep the business going with
out loss, and without breaking the Sabbath,
or with, at the worst, but an inconsiderable
fracture. We suspect that the EUangelisfs 8
views on the Sunday cheese question have
been made little more evangelical by the
clear, Scriptural light which we were enabled
to throw on it, in an article in the Sunday
Press. The following is the Evangelist
method for adapting the Mosaic law of the
I Sabbath, to the profits of the cheese business;
"Milk somewhat earlier than usual on Sat
urday evening, putting the milk and rennet
together directly, and dry, break and salt
the curd as usual. Then keep in a cool
place, in spare cheese-vat and cloth, till
Monday morning, when the Sunday morn
ing's curd, put together early on Monday
morning, must be broken down with it; and
the two, thus well mixed, will form one
cheese of propOrtionate size with the rest
Of the dairy"
The Evangelist will not pretend that all
this operation can be performed on Saturday
evening, previous to the going down of the
sun. Yet that is the commencement of the
Sabbath as divinely ordained, from which
time until sunset the next day, it was unlaw-
full for the Jews to build any fires in their
houses, or to cook any food. By what au-
thority does the Evangelist decide one part
of the Sabbath less holy than another? and
is it any more a violation of it to take two
or three hours out of the middle of the holy
period, than out of one end of it? 1t seems
to us that the Evangelist is suiting its law, as
Moses did his, to the hardness of the cheese
makers hearts.
But it will be observed that the Evangelist
slurs over the Sabbath milking, the most
laborious part Of the operation. Whatever
point the Evangelist may date its Sabbath
from, it must include two milkings. Yet
that paper devotes all its attention to the
disposal of the lesser labors on the curd and
entirely omits the weightier one of milking
the cows. In order to strengthen the faith
of the weaker cheese brethren, the EUdngeL-
ist, mentions the case of Sabbath-keeping
dairy-man, of forty cows, who took the first
premium at an agricultural fair, against
eighteen competitors who regarded not the
Sabbath, showing that Providence watches
over the quality of the cheese of Sabbath
keeping dairies.

Revivai Of the ReIieious Drama.

Barnum has opened the season at his Mu-
scum with the drama Of Joseph and his
BrstSwsn. On the opening night he made q
speech, in which he announced his intention
to occasionally bring back the drama to it:
original purpose, the illustration of sacred
scenes and events, and the representation o.
the Divine power and goodness, by handling
the incidents of Biblical history, so as to
exhibit gorgeous scenery and produce thrill
ing effects.
The drama was originally sacred, and the
representations were given in the churches
under the management of the Priests. The
bliss of the saints, and the torments of the
damned, were impressed upon the imagina-
tions of the people with all the aids
of scenery and stage machinery; and
the miracles were reproduced with great
dramatic power. Now, alas, the drama has
been abandoned by the church, and has
fallen into the hands of the wicked. Could
it be restored to its original purpose and
control, with all the improvements that
modern art has added to the drama, how
mighty might be its influences for good.
The idea of the Methodist minister who
sang hymn in meeting to the time of Zip
Coon, because, he said, the devil should not
have all the good tunes, is founded on a true
principle. Ifpeople go on abandoning their
strongest positions, one after another to the
devil, they might as well abandon the field
at once. Soon he will enter the church.
Then, according to the present tactics, that
also must be abandoned to him.
We know of no warrant in Scripture for
this method of carrying on the campaign.
We are commanded to resist the devil, and
then he will fee from us; not to abandon
the field as quick as he appears on it.
We had last spring temporary revival OF
the sacred drama, at Pixies Opera-house, in
the play of The ProdigaL Son, in which sim
ners were warned by the dreadful sufferings
of the Prodigal, after his brief season Of
riotous living at Memphis, and the saints
were edited by the ballet which solaced the
bereaved patriarch. 1t showed the practical
bility of combining Scriptural instruc-
tionwith an attractive exhibition. The
drama of Joseph and His Brethren
might be followed by JosepKs Temptation,
and the Triumph Of Virtue, and then by
Virtue Rewarded, showing Joseph dispens-
ing the corn to the starving Egyptians, and
buying them into slavery for Pharaoh.
As Bsrnum observed, "Biblical history
furnishes some of the most touching and
sublime subjects for the drama" The re-
ligious world has occasion for profound graft
tude that Mr.. Barnum has turned his versa
tile genius to SO good work. 1t is crafty
ing to know, ALSO that this will not monopo-
lie his talents, but that besides illustrating
Gods dealings with the Israelites, he will
show bis more modern wonders, such as the
Fegee Mermaid, the "What Is It," the Aztecs,
the Sea Serpent, and the Wooly-Horse.

Politically Right, but Morally Wrong.

Politically Right, but Morally Wrong.
We observe by the report Of the speech of
Charles Reemelin, at the Breckenridge and
Lane Club, that "The error committed by
the Republicans is that they view the ques-
ton Of slavery from moral and social point
of view, and not from the legal or political
with which alone we have to deal" We
suppose this means that che Republicans ar
right morally, but wrong politically; ant
slavery is a wrong to be condemned morally
but to be respected politically. If this is
Breckenridge and Lane Democracy, we
should like to know how it differs from Re-
publicanism. By what authority does Mr..
Reemelin pronounce slavery morally wrong2
Not by Scripture, certainly, for the most ex-
emplary of the patriarchs held slaves. Not
by the law of nature, for in state of nature
the greater part of mankind are in slavery.
What kind Of prospect is held out for the
perpetuity of Southern institutions, when
they are declared to be founded on moral
wrongf Is the moral law of nature, which
inevitably brings retribution for national as
well as for individual sins, suspended, that
people may establish political rights in moral
wrongs2 The South may well oxclaim, "Save
us from our friends" when the small rem
nant of the faithful, who term themselves
the "unabolitionized Democracy" and who
propose to save the abolition Sodom, can
allow the South only legal right, founded
on a moral wrong.

REMARKABLE SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS
IN WISCONSIN, people of Barton, Wash
ington County, Wisconsin, are in fever of
excitement over strange noises which have
heard every night for some time past, in q
house in that village. A school held in the
building had been broken up, and the COM
munity is scared generally. The Milwaukee
Sentinel says:
"The strictest scrutiny and investigations
have taken place by all sorts of people, and
yet the agency of all. these manifestations
thronged by the curious, unbelievers in
spiritual manifestations, and yet the raps,
loud and hard enough to jar the very build
ing, would continue, the doors open sud-
denly and slam together without any ap-
parent agency-not even the faintest breath
of wind-and other unaccountable things
transpire."

The Christians of Syria-The Reason WHY
they were S4aughtered.


The Christians of Syria-The Reason Why
they were StauGhtered.
A letter from the Rev. DR.. GoodeIl Prot
estant Missionary to Turkey, published in
one Of the Eastern Evangelical papers, shows
that the slaughter Of the Syrian Christians
was a special visitation of Providence on ac-
count Of their refusal to repent We quote:
"Those poor Maronites The Gospel was
carried to them forty years ago, and has ever
since been urged upon them publicly and
from house TO house but they manifested
tie greatest possible enmity TO it, preferring
the yoke of Satan to the gentle reign OF
Christ. Therefore, is this distress come upon
them; for, by terrible things in righteousness,
God is now answering the prayers of his
servants and avenging the blood of Asaad
Esh Shidiak."
From this it seems that this slaughter Of
the men, and driving of the women into the
Druse harems, is only the spirit of God striv-
ing with them, and aiding the preaching Of
the Gospel Then, surely, the outside inter.
Vention which Christians have been calling
for, would be great sin. 1t would be an
attempt to prevent the divine purposes. The
writer further says
snow is the time for fervent prayer, for
Christian effort, and for the exercise of for
giyeness, compassion, and benevolence."
We have our doubts about that. The
writer shows that God has not forgiven them,
but q exterminating them from the earth.
Then why should we forgive them? Is il
not rather our duty to take the sword ant
help carry out the will of God2 Forgiv,
them for what2 They have not sinnst
against us. Shall we forgive them for thei
sin against Godf Save us from such pre-
sumptuous faults
