LOSSES BY RELIGION. Near London
dwelt an old couple. In early life they
had been poor, but the husband became
a Christian, e and God blessed their In

The New YoRK METHODIST. - The
periodicals devoted to. the support of the
Methodist Church are, with one excep-
ton, official Church organs. That ex-

whether the interests of the Church are
best subserved by official or independent
journals, but we cannot refrain from
commencing the Methodist as one Of

The Right Reverend VIM. NJ Green,
Episcopal Bishop of Mississippi, has is
sued letter to the clergy and laity of
bis diocese, directing them to return to
the use Of the aprayerSfor the President
Of the United States, and all in civil au-

one, but large number of prayer books

DR; RANDALhps AeoEPFANoE.-O Our
readers viii rejoice to hear that DR.,
Randall of Boston has accepted the ap-
pointment as Bishop of Colorado, to
which he was elected by General CoA-
yention. 9 he has signiied il to the
Presiding Bishop, and on Sunday, the
Goth ult, he announced his decision to
his pensioners. His conservation ia
arranged to take place at Boston on the
Thursday after Christmas. The Rit-
ness says. III y a A
/ The decision thus reached by our
beloved brother is one which could per-
haPs have been hardly eEadedA when,
after declining nomination informally
made to him by members of the House
of Bishops, and after the non-election of
another nominee, he was chosen with a
large vote and with. perfect unanimity.
These circumstances must have had
great influence in marking plainly the
path of duty. While in common with
his widespread circle of friends. we an
preciate the signifcancY Of these circum. 4
stances, we cannot but think with the
deepest regret of the loss which we are
to sustain During long and most
successful ministry he has been identi-
fed with this Diocese, and to every form
Of labor he, has given the utmost of his
energies. As parish clergyman be

During the week meetings have been
held in the Vine Street, On. 81 Church,
and also at the Cumberland Presbyte-
riau Church. Some interest was man
ifssted on the part of sinners, but not
enough to justify continuance of the
meetings. These Churches ara ripe for
revival, and, we have no doubt, will re-
ceiye a gracious visitation Of the Spirit
before the close of winter. 90 7eaeT =

THEATRE. - Much pains have recently
been taken in the management Of the Old
Theatre, and great expense incurred IN get
ting up additional scenery, costumes, prop
critics, &c, and at the same time the enter
prising Managers have not forgotten or neg
lected to keep on hand good supply Of
tslent-some Of which is Of the first order.
In addition to the regular stock company,
they have in regular rotation all the "bright
particular stars" that belong TO the dramatic
constellation. At present Miss Maggie
Mitchell is the attraction at this establish
rnent. Every one familiar with the role Of
Maggie Mitchell, and who has watched
her year by year win public favor, and step
BY step climb higher and higher in the dra-
matte profession, is certainly willing 70 ed
nit that as versatile actress she has few
equals and still fewer superiors; yet
withal, rs an honest journalist, it Is due TO
caudor to say that We have our likes
and our dislikes for Miss Mitchell. We
haze thought that in some Of her pieces
there wsH too much display Of rnannerism-
TOO much pandering too "clap-trsp" fool
ishuess-or, in other words, disposition 10
oger-play the part; too great desire TO
make display before the foot-lights; and
another great and serious fault to which
-he Is givens-nor Is she the only one IN
The profession that is guilty Of it, for alas,
il is TOO common, both with actors and
actresses who have achieved high rePuta-
t5tisu. a. sfstars"-it is fault not only IN
her b.,t ia ali who are addicted TO it--and
when we forget all others we must still re-
reneflber this-we mean the habit Of play
ing. ss IT we're directly 70 the audience it
mars The beauty Of all sentiment; it spoils
the eject Of every piece. It appears as
though it was a direct appeal to the au-
diencs for its appreciation, and if tbatnould
not be freely given, at least to wiring
from IL applause. This, in our judgment,
should be beneath the dignity Of any actor
or actress, claiming high position in the
profession.
But we have gone astray from our orig
inal intention, and heightened out para
yraph that we intended should be short.
What We have said Of Miss MItchell-and
~. have not alluded more to her than to
others connected with the dramas said
ia a spirit Of kindness; if we probe wounds
IL ls ia order 10 heal them. We can say
this for Mica Mitchell, as "Fanchon," in
The Cricket, she has 40 equal in "Margot,'
and other pieces, she has won an envia6le
uotoriety.-and as for Maggie MitchelPs
"Litus Barefoot" we had as leave see It
AZ any other lady's "Little Barefoot" in the
Profession, who attempts the character.

wheel Of fortune, which will decide the
destiny Tor the next year, Of many able

Gle Samuel" From our Northern ex-
changes we learn that great efforts have
been made in the Northwestern States,
and some Of them have almost, if not quite,

foremost, while her less ambitious sister

ST. YALESTINE's DAY.-YesteIiay, the
feathory tribe, in accordance with a time
honored custom, chose their mates, we sup
pose for better or worse. In imitation Of
the warblers Of Spring, the lads and lasses,
indulge in the preliminary arrangements
for mating, custom which has survived
the steady progress Of ages. Thousands
we might say, OF these love missives passed
through the Post-ofice yesterday, the bulk
ofthem no doubt partaking o the ridiculous
persuasion, such as has met our gaze in the
different showwindows during the pastweek.
BY the sublimity of luck, we were made the
unhappy recipient Of one of the most fright
ful csricatures that has ever come under
our observation. 1t is evidently intended to
represent what might once have passed for
modest youth, but time, the DESTROYER of
all portal things, has worked fearful havoc
ON this unsoPhisticated youth. His face
hiss the appearance ola full moon in harvest.
with prominent nose, apparently Of a Ro-
man cast, but now in state Of decay at the
extremity, evidently the seed Of dissipation.
The general effect of the portrait is strik-
ing, but what the author meditated in send
ing it to a prepossessinE youth of steady
habits, like ourselves, is more than We can
comprehend. Several verses Of poetry

the advertisement in another part Of cur

church was used for several weeks as a
military hospital, and its revenues, in con-
siderable part dependant on the weekly
offertory, were much diminished the e1-
penses, however, continued, and TO aid the
church the choir have devoted themselves
70 the work. We bespeak for them large
attendance, not on behalf Of charity, but
because it will be an entertainment we'll
worth patronage.
