The Etiquette Of Public Worship.
BY EDWARD ROYAL.

BY EDWARD ROYAL.
AS lover of the simple church-Order
of the Puritans, I am grieved by every
thing which mars the outward beauty of
its worship as truly, if less deeply, than
by defects which impair its inner glory,
and diminish its efficiency in the armies of
the Lord. The first, too, can hardly be
separated from the last. In the energetic
reaction against Journalism and supersti-
ton under which our church organization
was formed, it was not strange that the
neglect OF the external should sometimes
have been pushed too far by our fathers,
and that too low an estimate should have
been placed on the exterior observance of
worship nor that we, their descendants,
should have inherited this tendency in
even an exaggerated shape. The poets
theory, that .H '''
"Of the soul the body form doth take 2iD
10 For soul is form, and doth the body make"
appears to be much too fully d accepted
among us. Though it contains an impOr-
:, tant truth-though vigorous life be the
first requisite for beauty Of the growing
body, careful culture is also indispensable
to the highest physical beautysaland the
life itself is strengthened By all outward
appliances which really i improve TIE body
If this were realized by the the members Of
Congregational Churches inc general, l

Quoting seven-eighths for women, children

proclamation North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and
Texas. In the remaining States we have
made allowances for the presence of our
own troops and the Union sentiment, in
the following proportions: Virginia, one
half; Mississippi, one7half;, Tennessee,
three-quarters. From this it will be seen
that we have made the largest possible es-

Henry Ward Reecher Aroused.
An English correspondent, says 5that
Henry Ward Beecher left London on the
9th for Paris and Switzerland In spite.
of the pressure broughtoto bear upon him,
he refused to make any public addresses.
He, however, participated in temperance
breakfast, given in his honor at the Lon
don Coffee House, On cOnditiOnStbat no
reporter should be present. The following
particulars were gathered from one Of the
guests: ,fi ag. 49,. ~ Aio''S0n '9'
Edward Baines, NJ. P. for Leeds, took
the chair, and in a very f, cling address
welcomed Mr.. Beecher for the second time
to this country, stating that he once had
the honor OF receiving bis father as a
guest! Hespokeof Mr.. Beecher's position
in America, of Mrs. Stowe, of temperance,
the war, and Abolition. To this Mr.,
Beecher responded enthusiastically, in a
blended strain of humor, pathos, colloqui-
alism, delightful to all present. Other
speeches were made, and everything pro-
ceeded pleasantly, until some one had the
bad taste to allude to American affairs in
an anti-Union spirit. This brought Mr..
Beecher to his feet again, and he electri-
fled his audience by perfect burst of
eloquence on the subject of England's at
titude toward the United States during
the rebellion, charging the Abolitionists
of Great Britain with being false to their
ninciples, consistent and deficient in
backbone. Americans had hoped not for
material but moral countenance from
England, he asserted; she might have
achieved so much at the sacrifice of so
little, but appeared deliberately to choose
the worst part. Mr.. Beecher completely
carried away the feeling of the meeting
with him, and earnest hopes were ex
pressed that be would address a public
meeting. The time had gone by for that,
he answered he might do so on his
return from the continent. i'.'

More AidtoIheR ehaI.

The Joliet Republican. Of last Saturday,
has another ar ticle giving aid and encour.
agemert to the rebels.
The editor of the Republican should be
taken care OF at once. He is constantly
giving aid and comfort to the enemy, by
incorporating the feelings and senti-
meDts Of parties at the North. According
to his STATEMENTS, the SignGl, and Demo
Gratis generally, are the advocates of seces-
sion and sympathise with the enemy.
IF be true, as the Republican alleges that
oil Democrats are secession tympstL isere
and traitors. surely they are not suitable
men frr our srU1ies. Democrats, therefore,
should be allowed to stay at home, while
the Loyal LeHguers do the fighting, for
traitors" are not needed in the rabks.
And. again. this effort Of the Abolition
press Of the Moth to make the world be-
lieve that Northern Democrats are disloy-
al, is calculated to do much mischief to our
cause. By such misrepresentation, the
South would be made believe that there is
powerful party at the North ready to sus-
tain them.
Hence. it is seen. how these Abolition
editors are constan ly giving aid to the
enemy. And let them be held response
