A Practical Sermon.

VIC DlA GoO5 ASAAO W AAAS 49,
in the local columns of the
West Albanian, said to have
been delivered by a colored
preacher who rejoiced in the
title of "Maj." We never saw
a report in which the idiom OF
the negro was more faithfully
given; nor have we often seen
a discourse more pointed and
| applicable to the present condl-

CITY AND STATE NEWS,

PALM SUNDAY.-Sabbath last was the
commencement of what is known in the
Catholic Church as Holy Week. The
faithful of the Church during the week
celebrate the memory and passion OF
our Saviour, and endeavor to excite
within themselves feelings of sorrow and
repentance for sin, and love and compass
sion for His sufferings. On that day the
Catholic Church commentaries the tri-
umphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem.
In Catholic cities and countries, the
Palms are blessed, distributed, and car
ried by the faithful in prOcessian; but
in this country they are blessed, distrib-
uted among those in the pews, and car
ried home by the people, The ceremony
of distribution is performed by the cler-
gy, accompanied by those who serve at
the altar, in procession along the aisles
of the church
During Holy Week the ceremonies are
very imposing. The season is one OF
great. sSlemnity, and the faithful are
called upon to exclude themselves as
much as possible from the thoughts of
the world, and to mediate upon the
great mysteries which the Church COM
memorates On Palm Sunday, after the
entry into Jerusalem is celebrated, the
faithful are called upon to contemplate
the fickleness of our nature as shown by
the example before them, in which we
see the SAVIOUR hailed with JOY and &C
carnations, and, after short time, con-
demned to an ignominions death upon
the Cross and abused by those who sang
hosannas in His praise! With these les
sons, those who participate in the cere-
monies leave the Church and enter into
the solemn season OF Holy Week.

OUR CITY MoRALS.-FOT the last few
weeks our record of crime has been grad
ually but surely growing less, antll it
has dwindled away to almost nothing.
The vigilance Of our police, of course,
deserves a large share of credit, The
thanks of the public are due them, as
by their energy many of those who COM
mltted, or were the primary cause of
these crimes, were either arrested or
forced to the conclusion that this city
was nolongera safe or profitable field for
their labors Credit is also due TO those
philanthropic men who, by their zeal in
the service of their Great Master, devote
their time aud energy to the work Of
calling back from the paths of deStruc-
ton those who would otherwise
have rushed heedleSely on, to that of
guiding quietly those who were timid
and wayering, and whose steps wei e
weak and slow, and to the work of de
nouneiug in the most determined man
ner those who, unmindiul of the
interests of society or the voice
of God, wilfully hardened their hearts
and kept on their evil course. A share
of praise is also due our magistrates.
who by the stern and Just discharge Of
their duty have shown 10 the deter
