IS BE Prepared for the storm. -


Under the above head the Chicago 7ri-
bune, of November 3Oth, has some very
sensible and timely advice which we in
sert below. 1t is well for the people to
look these facts full in the face. We
have become a nation Of extravaganza,
and if we continue in our suicidal course
we shall soon bring up in the gulf of
ruin. 1t says: o#8 ~, (..... ..-,. .-
"The tendency of the public mind is
towards extravaganza In expenditure
This feeling is pervading all classes of
society. Money is cheap and abundant.
A paper dollar is deprecated to forty
four cents, gold value. Currency is
plenty, and growing plentier. Come
easy, go easy, is the prevailing feeling.
But sooner or later the present abnor-
NAL condition of things will terminate,
perhaps gradually, perhaps suddenly
money, are feartully watered. But
when the crash comes the water will be
bailed out, leaving only what is repre-
sented by the gold standard. Men are
walking on high stills, and are making
long but insecure strides. But all must
dismount one of these days, and come
down until their feet touch the earth.-
Many will be precipitated headlong
who now tower aloft on their stilts.-
Wise and prudent men will prepare in
time for the inevitable change. The
class who will suffer by the termination
of the war are those in debt. A mer-
chant with stock of goods on hand
worth say $4,000 and half paid for
will not realize therefrom enough to
pay what he owes. When the goods
are all sold he will find himself still in
debt for from five to ten thousand dol
lars, and this debt he must liquidate,
principal and interest, with gold or its
equivalent, or go into bankruptcy. The
consequence of the end of the war on.
the debtor class will be to increase every
mans debts about 425 per cent. An OBJ
legation Of 81 900 will become, in practi-
cal effect, $4,000. That is, it will re-
quire property or labor now worth in
currency $4,000 to pay it, A note out
standing drawing ten per cent. interest,
will then draw what would now be
equivalent to twenty-five per cent, or
thereabouts, to say nothing of the prin-
cipal of the note, the difiicnlty of whose
payment will swell in corresponding
ratio. 30. ..AtsJ. "' g" I "a -.,.....s
Our advice is for every imam to pay
off his debts, and contract no new ones
to pay cash for whatever he buys, and if
he cannot do that, to go without the ar
ticle.T Do not spread too much SAIL
Keep plenty of ballast,in the hold, and
see that the. anchors are ready to let go
when the hurricane comes, and thereby
prevent your vessel from capsizing,
laundering or dashing on the breakers
of lee shore. !" 5l- Xxi.

nA A National Convention of the
Fenian Brotherhood will meet in Gin
cinnati on the 18th of January. The
leading members of the Order believe
that the time has come to make a strike
for the independence of the Irish Ma
ton. Our government may soon have
an opportunity to recognize the "bellig-
erent rights" of the Irish, and the green
flag of Erin floating at the masthead
of iron-clads made in American ports,
differed and manned by American sea-
men may sweep the English commerce
from the sea.

The New Episcopal Church.

The New Episcopal Church.
The work upon this edifce is making
good progress, and it is hoped that
services may DO held there as early
as Christmas. 1t bids fair to become
one Of the finest structures Of the kind
in the State, and will be beautiful
ornament to our city. The nave is
s5x40, with chancel twenty two feet
deep, Aanked by organ and TO-
bing rooms, each 10x12. Upon the
south west corner stands the tower,
16xl6, and So feet to top Of belfry,
from which an octagonal sphre, with
flying buttresses rises seventy-two feet,
making its total highth one hundred
and thirty feet. The style of finish
is Gothic Of the strictest order. The
inside is to : be finished in double
arch, the center Of the upper arch be-
ing forty feet above the floor. When
completed the main nave vii. furnish
sittings for 400 people, which could
BIO packed much closer.
The material is nearly all purchased,
paid for and on the ground. The
frame is up and will be enclosed'in a
few days. Stained glass windows,
handsomely decorated with emblems,
are contracted for and will be on hand
as soon as they can be inserted.
The building is to be heated and
ventilated upon the Rutan patent,
which consists in causing constant
change of atmosphere by expelling the
cold air through perforated base at
the side of the building, and introdu-
cling heated air from furnaces placed
in the cellars, thus rendering the build
ing Of warm, even temperature in
winter, and offering excellent ventila-
ton in summer.
1t is to be lighted with gas, and
will, In all its appointments, be one
of the neatest churches, in the west.
The Font has been presented by a
lady residing at Norwalk, Conn, and
a very~handsomo communion set has
also been presented by st. PauPs
Church of Norwalk.
Ultimately, if the parrish should
demand it, Transcripts will be added,
so as to furnish additional accommo-
dations for two hundred. The entire
cast Of the building is estimated at
$4,000, of which nearly Sc, have
been subscribed, and raised by fair
and concert. The prospects are fiat
tering indeed, and we hope to see the
work pushed to early and entire COM
pletion.
Very much of the life and energy
that characterizes this enterprise has
boon infused into the society by its
present pastor. Perhaps no parrish
in the state has been SO poorly cared
for as this, and added to its disorgani-
zed state, is the fact that nearly all its
members are young men, just Launched
into business, who can not afford
much in material means to support
the expense of well organized 80.
ciety. 1t is due to this fact alone that
nearly all the sums subscribed have
been small, but we are glad to know
arc promptly paid in, and the Treasu-
rer of the building fund absolutely
refuses to contract for material or Ia
Dor, only as the money can be had to
pay for them. The undertaking is a
large one, but upon the plan adopted
when carried to completion, will make
the parrish Independent and thrifty.

In brief he never worked for the govern
ment, but required, for the success OF his
operation, that government, nation, timc'
tide, events, men, and armies, should wait
for him. Though he required "morc men"
than any General of history, his greatest
want was q want Of "time." Men and
time, however, were not enough, without q
certain policy. His folly has become mon
umental, and as folly, it is certainly great
so great that II is imposing. When We con-
slider this, We hardly wonder that he is not
silent, or that his partizans do not cease to
claim that no was great General, or any
thing else but small man with large am
bition.
On the whole, General McClellan's report
will impress the readers with three grand
things as necessary to war as war itself: first,
General Mcclellan; second, General McClel-
