BISHOP KIP ON THE OBSERVANCE
OF CHRISTMAS.

The following pertinent observations
on the observation of Christmas, by
Bishop Kip in his Pastoral Letter to the
clergy of his diocese, will be read with
interest by all classes of the community
protesting the Christian faith
al would particularly refer to our
Sunday School Festivals at this season.
In most Of our churches the children
are gathered on Christmas Eve, and its
sacred carols sung and Christmas gifts
distributed, which cause the little ones
Of the flock to look back, through the
whole year, with pleasure to this festi-
val. This is its religious celebration
and every lesson taught is pure and
holy. But when this holy season is
rudely broken in upon by worldly
amusements, it ministers only to frivo-
lily and dissipation. When-as in some
cases | have known-it is even convert
ed into a ball, to be continued far into
the late hours of the night, and all un-
der the name Of a Christian Sunday
School and a Festival Of the Church,
we cannot too fully reprobate this abuse
of sacred things. The little ones OF
Christ's fold are taught anything but
the spirit of his g~ospel-vanity and fri
volity hold their carnival-and none
would dare to propose to close the festi-
val with asking Gods blessing on all
that had been done.
sin the d~isorganized state of society
incident to q new country, these SAD
perversions have too often taken place
in some of our parishes. But the time
has come when they should be counter
anced no longer-when n higher stand
must be taken by the C~hurch-and the
world and worldly things be put aside
when our religious festivals are held.
| call therefore upon you my brethren OF
the clergy and laity, to aid in this work
to discountenance this miserable pal
tering with an evil world, and seeking
by its ways to aid Gods cause. No
money-getting by such unhallowed
means will strengthen Christ's Church.
If it cannot be built up without the ball
or the rattle, let US leave it to Him whose
cause it is, to inspire His peoples hearts
with higher thoughts, and wait His own
good time. But above all things, my
brethren, let us not set such a standard
before the young of the flock, and teach
them that the hallowed enjoyments OF
the Church are insufficient, and its holy
Festival cannot be kept without import
ing unholy dissipation

A remarkable case, in which Boston
lady is interested, is now on trial before
the Superior Court at Hartford Connec-
ticut. The particulars are given by
the Hartford Post, as follows
a lady, Mrs, Deshon, now Mrs Mary
Jane Rand, residing in Boston, had a
boy by her first husband. The boy had
several singular marks on his person,
aud also a serious impedimcnt in his
speech. When the child was FIVE and a
half years old it died suddenly while its
mother was asleep. The singular ap-
pearanee Of the boy led her to have an
autopsy made, aud she aiterward prose
cuted the attending physician and apoth-
ccary who had furnished the medicine.
Rufus Chontc was her counsel at this
time. Some two or three years after
Mrs. Rand observed child in Boston
which rcsomblcd hers so closely that
she followed it for some time, but finally
lost sight Of it aud its attendants. Two
years or more elapsed before she heard
Of it again, and found out that il was in
the Asylum for the Deaf aud Dumb in
that city, being a charity pupil from the
State Of Massachusetts A picture OF
her husband. whom she claims was the
father of this child, was shown to him,
when he instantly exclaimed, as well as
hc could and in the presence OF several
witnesses, "Thats my father he lives

A careful examination has been made
Of the boy by physician who a;touded
him during q three months sickness,

had come 70 his knowledge" The

TMc CnoIcra-Esit ContagIous,

Doctor Shrimpton, an eminent Eng

published very interesting pamphlet
on the subject Of cholera. lie consld
ers it not contagious, and accounts for
its rapid propagation on other grounds
--the result Of his vast personal expc'

tor Shrimpton says We attribute
the propagation Of cholera to an electric
action, which acts directly, somewhat IN
the same manner as lightning, on the
nervous system Of organic life. We do
not require any great stock oi modesty
TO confess that, as to this electric ac-
ton, we should not be able to demon
