In a sermon on Thanksgiving Day by the
Rev. Mr.. Leaken, rector of Trinity QEpisco-

refer to the press-the newspaper-which
from the smallest beginning, luxury to
the favored few, has become indispensable to
millions, and whose power in forming public
sentiment is unreasonable. To illustrate
remotely the influence ofthis power, suppose
a person of intelligence coming to your fam
lily every morning. He informs you Of all
that has occurred "a our city, IN your eoun-
try, in Europe, or distant Asia. He gathers
the details of each interesting event; he at
tends each important meeting, and tells you
what was said and done. In rain and tenn
pest, in summer and winter, does this person
pay you his daily visits; and not only brings
you information, but gives you his opinion
on each question that arises In time he
becomes one Of you; he is identified with
your family and tie character of yourself
and those around have been moulded by this
constant contact.
But the newspaper does more It brings
you an hundred different. articles, besides
advertisements. It can be read at leisure.
Its information reaches children, and is read
by servants. 1t forms the subject Ct CONVEX

The Radica! Cry fer the Trial Of JefersoB
.ayss.

The New York Heauzd thus concludes an
article upon the radical cry for the punish
ment OF Jefferson Davis:
eve must take in this case higher ground
than any people OF government has hitherto
had the moral courage to take. We must
throw aside the ancient fctions, and deal with
facts as. facts. We:must recognize that men
like Davis have had their grand uses in the
life Of a nation; that they make those stands
and cause those wars that purify government
and render it impossible for it to become par
tial and tyrannical. Davis represented some
millions Of men who believed that they were
oppressed, and who rose with the spirit Of
freemen. Shall we stultify our history our
immortal declaration--by saying that the rep
resentatiye Of all those men deserves death
for having been their representative Where
does government originate ? With the peo-
ple-we declare by every fact Of our history
and with how many people, if not with
eight millions We agree with the radical
members that Congress should take up the
case of Tagis, hut we believe it should take
it up only to Set him at large on these high
grounds recognizing openly and bravely as
the sense Of tho a. erican people that acts
such as lis do npt deserve death. We shud
[ der as we read Of the terrible. acts Of British
officials in Jamaica, who outbarbarize barba-
rism we shudder to contemplate British
iud ges sending men 10 twenty years penal
seryitude for, the crime Of desiring a better
government for their country. Let Us be
consistent with these feelings, and set an ex-
ample Of national magnanimity that may put
that Power to the blush. Our cause does
not call for any mans blood, and we must not
Ilot partisan hatred put its bloody stains OF
'.oyr national history.

CoFEIN FAIR In the large towns in the
interior of Russia, coffin fair is held once.a
year. Every peasant who has an aged pa
rent buys coffin. The present is always
acceptable, for the. receiver feels assured that
he will have Christian burial, and is proud
OF the son who thus cares for his last resting
place: Tie difference Of these peasants to
death is notorious. They care more,in their
last hours for their mug of beer than for
absolution from the Pope. They think little
of religion, and their priests, who are any
thing but respectable, arc. rather objects Of
contempt than of veueration. o.
