In the Atlantic IEo.MIy. for Septem-
Der, Mrs. Harriet B, Stowe says, from
her Chimney Corner :"
The whole depaftmcnt of nmuse-
mcnts-CertHinly one of the most i'm
pOrtant in education has been by the
Church made n sort of outlaws ground,
to be taken possession of and held by
all sorts of spiritual raGamuffins; and
then the faults and shortcomings re-
sulting from this arrangement have
been held up and insisted on as reasons
why no Christian should ever venture
into it.
If the Church would set herself to
amuse the young folks, instead of dis
cussing doctrines and metaphvsical
hnir-splitting, she would prove herself
n true mother, and not II hard-visaged
stepdame. Let her keep this depart
ment, so powerful and so difficult to
manage, in SwhRt aro morally the
strongest hands, instead of giving it up
to the weakest.
think If the different churches of n
city, for example, would rent build
ing where there should be n billiard
table, one or two ten-pin alleys, IL read
ing room, IA garden and grounds for
ball-playing and innocent lOunging,
that they would do more to keep their
young people from the ways of sin than
II Sunday School could. Nay, more; !
would go farther. ! would have a por-
ton of the building fitted up with seem
cry and n stage for tho getting up OF
tIbleaTx and dramatic performances,
and thus give scope for the exercise oi

SO much lying unemployed in society.
Young people do not like amusements
any better for the wickedness connected
with them. The spectacle of IL sweet
little child singing hymns and repeat

that there really is no need of indecent
or improper plays to draw full houses.

Montgomery Blair has been speaking
in Maine. In Ii speech in Portland, on
the evening of the 18th ult., he openly
proclaimed the revolutionary pro-
grammc ofthe President, which no man
knows so we'll. And it is OF IL Chnrac-
ter that should awaken the country
fully TO the dangers which threaten its
internal peace, hit has not been already
by the Presidents own utterunceS.
Speaking of BlHir's speech, n report
says:
" He said that the breaking up of
Government by denying representation
to ten of the States of the Union leads
ns certainly to war as secession itself !;
that il was only another form of seCes-
sion, and, if continued, would inevita-
bly, produce civil war at the North. He
advised his hearers to concentrate all
their energies on the election of Il Rep
resentaiive. He said the Radicals now
had 100 members out of 2iO, the num-
Der when all the States were represent
ed; that they could not get that number
again; that if the Johnson party would
rally to the support of conservative
principles it would, with the aid of the
Representatives. of the Southern States
control IA majority of Congress. But,
he said, the Radicals will not ad-
init these members from the South.
They will then join with the North
ern Democrats and set up by them
selves as the true Congress, and the
President will recognize them ns the
true Congress of the United States. The
Rump will then impcach the President
and elect another. We shall then have
two Presidents and two Congresses,
and this insures civil war in every town
and county throughout the North, while

MIR. BEECHER AND THE PRESIDENT.
Henry Ward Beocher has ranged
himself on the side of the President.
AS n "radical" he has been more saw
agely abused than almost any other
man in the country, and we are curious
to know what is become of tho stock
and-trade of the President, now that
this famous radical leader has got into
bed with Mr.. Johnson. We hope tho
coalition will do them both good. MIR.
Beecher's hobby for some time past has
been the release of jeff. Davis, and this
last movement of his has probably been
made with the view of furtheriug that
object. In this, il not in other respects,
the President will accept him ns a man
after his own heart. But the avalanche
of loyal sentiment will move right on
AS before.-PhLSbWTgh COnmcrciGi.

of Assistant Treasurers, designated de-
POsitaries, and officers OF national
banks designated as such, to that pOr-
ton of the circular No. 10, 1864, which
enjOins that in the cancellation of eou-

Much trouble has arisen from disregard
of this injunction, and IL has been de-
termined that hereafter all coupons
from which either tho datei or number
has in any way been removed, will be
returned to the parties remitting them,
and payment withheld until the dates
or numbers shall be established by nf-
hdavits or other satisfactory proof. ~

SAD CASE OF FEMALE DEPRAvITY.-
On Sunday one of the Metropo Titan po-
lice of Detroit, arrested II young mar
ricd woman for being drunk. Her case
is n sad one. Several years ago she
married very respectable man, and
the fruit of the marriage was bright
eyed, handsome little boy, now three
years old. Tho mother took to drink
ing, and in order to satisfy the cravings
of her appetite, when money was ro-
fused, she took her husbands clothes
during his absence and pawned them
for liquor. Subsequently her wedding
ring went the same road. Her husband
used every effort to reclaim her, but
was unsuccessful. Last week she went
so far as to pawn her son at II saloon in
the Tenth Ward. A long search for the
little fellow was made, and he was final
ly recovered. His mother refused to
tell where she had left him. She has
been placed in II charitable institution
for safe keeping. Out of respect for the
husband, we suppress the names of the
parties.

LIVING WITHIN ONES MEASs.-How-
ever limited our means may be, we
shall be among the number OF the truly
opulent if we live within them, and live
contentedly. The perpetual ambition
to bo thought greater than we are, is a
source of contempt to those above US,
OF derision to those below, and of con-
tinuul discomfort to ourselves. Nor
can the mesh thrown over our circum-
stances by the articles of vanity long
deceive any onc-cXCept, perhaps, II
few strangers, who are hardly worth
decCivinS. Our means, as well as our
characters, will sooner or later become
known, in spite of any disguise in
which we may attempt to invest them,
and the detection in the use of the in
struments of deception, only shows
that whatever other gifts we may have,
we at lenst are deficient in honesty.
The really rich, then, are not persons
merely of large means, but persons OF
larger means relatively with the posi-
ton they desire to hold in society. A
poor duke would be rich arteZan,
simply because in the latter case there
are not the same demands for large
expenditure. The same relation holds
through all relations of society; so that
man to become rich hus only to de-
scend from that pedestal on which his
pride has exalted him; and conform to
the usages of less ambitious men. OF
all things in this wide world, pride is
the most expensive, and every eNtrav-
agant habit acquired just subtracts n
ProPortionate quantity of wealth, and
impoverished the person who Yields to
1t. Every man has tho secret of be-
coming rich who resolves to live within
his means; and independence is one OF
the most ehectual safeguards of hon
eSty.

CURIoUs TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRoR.-
Tho Mobile Register and AdUerti8er
calls attention to n curious Topographic
cal error that, Notwithstanding the care
exercised in the publication of the
Episcopal Prayer Book, occurs in every
edition-nOt in the Prayer Book proper,
it is true, but in the Hymns bound up
with it, and supposed to be revised with
the same care. 1t occurs in the Hymn
numbered l33, which begins with the
line:
approach, my soul, the mercy seat"
One of the stan2ns is invariably
printed thus:
"Be thou my shield and hiding-placc:
Tint Shelter'd near thy side,
may my fierce RccuSer fuCe,
And tell him Thou hast died."'
The quotation marks around "Thou
hast died." it will be observed, makes
change in the sense, which would
render it absurd, iii were not so we'll
understood by all who sing it, that those
words are addressed-not to Satan, but
to the Savior.
