the crowd, who soon as they could
comprehend the situation,' started
on Il promiscuous .'un in the opposite
direction. Some screamed, othcra

life, while the lighti0oted boy was

turning upon the boy, with upIittcd
hands and appealing countenance,

SINGULAR AFrATR.-A few days
ago, says the Boston Herald, a wo-
man with bundle in her arms, ap-
parcntly containing a babe, called ut
the house Of gentleman residing
in the vicinity of Cambridge street,
and asked leave to remain awhile
AS she was in feeble health. She
said she had lately been delivered of
child, and asked for a glass of
s.imuIant Of some sort The lady
of the house was alone in the room,
attending to her young babe Of three
weeks old. She loft the room to
accommodate her strange guest, and
proceeded to u store near by, lcav-
ing her own child asleep in its cra-
die. While absent, she met her hus-
band, to whom she told the affair,
and he immediately went to his
house. lie saw no woman present.
but heard the cries ofan infant, ana
went to the cradle and removed the
covering to take ont the child. lie
then found that his own child had
been removed, and y negro child of
about the same ago substituted
The woman has not been seen CT
heard Of since, and the parents are
in great distress at their loss.
Two AposTLE8.-Two very re
markabIo sermons We're preached
last Sunday in this city-ons from
the pulpit Of cathedral, breathing
peace and good will; one in Puri-
tan temple, bowling strife and ha-
tired, Bishop Lynch pleading for
the misery Of the stricken and suf-
fcring, counscIed "calmness, love
and good feeling" Presbyterian
Chcevcr belying the National tri-
umph reviled, in pricstly billings
gate, the chiefs Of the people, who
shrink from oppression and are re-
building ruin.
Which bears the divine commis-
sion-he who urges submission, "in
true charity to the lawful power
which has asserted its right by force
or he who filings dirt upon rulers
whose moderation is wiser than his
fury? Which is the Christian pas
tor--thc Southcrnor whose voice is
raised in persuasion to fraternal
love instead OF complaint over inju-
rios, or the Northcrner who de-
nOunccs the powers that be as "hyp-
ocritcs and robbers" because they
are not wild with his own madness?
For this raving prophet the land is
not full enough Of woe, and her
wounds must be torn open and
drenched with the vitroil of his viz
ulencc, rather than lie should forcgo
the display Of that clerical riba|dry
which insults decency as gravely rs
profane swearing otfcnds the law.
Once and again duri & this war
we took occasion to rebulEc the vio-
Ienco Of this zealot, and to warn him
that his political cuysing dishonored
his robes, and that his religious
teachings savored of the vengeance
enioincd on the old Hebrews rather
than the mild spirit Of the Christian
gospel. The peace that was won by
brave blows, not by hard words,
cannot be disturbed with impunity
bv dcrvishes whether on the platform
or the pulpit. He who assumes to
speak by Divine appointment must
show better credentials than ran
corous heart and works Of diScord.
Religion will be justified of her chill
drem by the detection of the chang
ling; nor can any claim of sanctity
save one. who abuses his office to
the service of evil, from wearing
the brand Of the devils apostle
Neir York ITor'd.
