A Crisis in the Church.

1t appears that the financial condition of
the American Board Of Foreign Missions is
not encouraging. AT a recent meeting, the
Rev. T. L. Cuyler, the man who marries peo
pie "for fun" stated that "a crisis was upon
the church and missions" He declared
that the prevailing weakness of Christian
churches was their becoming fashionable
and worldly. 1.-THE atheism Of fashion was
greater than that of rationalism, and the
church would 90 to pieces" This has refer
ence only to the Protestant churches, for
Mr.. Cuyler declared that the Church Of
Rome was extending. Why is it that the
Roman Catholic church is thus progressing
and the Protestant churches declining? One
reason is very clear, the majority Of the
Protestant churches have ceased preaching
the gospel of love and charity, or even civ
i|ization. They are simply the temples of
bate and barbarism. The clergy are mostly
young set of politco .theologians, with a
great deal more of the politician than the
preacher in them. They are all disseminators
of Aboitonism, and as that is simply fight
ing against God, He has let them to work
out their own destruction. Poor, deuded
creatures! when their eyes are open to the
enormous sins they are guilty of, the agony
which Cotton Mather underwent after his
craziness about witches was over, will be no
comparison to theirs. Talk about evangel.
izing the world! They better first evangel.
ize themselves, and then set about restoring
religious federation in America, before spend
ing their money abroad. Let them send
some missionaries to the benign ted heathen
Of Missouri, who are now incarcerating
ministers of the Gospel because they will
not take oaths contrary to their consciences.
1t is enough to make the blood boil with in
dignation to read the atrocious course of the
Abolition tyrants in Missouri towards the
clergy in that State, who simply desire to
preach the Gospel and nothing more. And
all this in that boasted "free country" which
President johnson sol grandly described!-
Bonds, fines, Imprisonment, for worshippiug
God according to the dictates of our own
conscience, and that, too, under party that
claims to be the depository Of freedom par
ercelence No wonder there is "a crisis in
the church" Day Book.

FAREWELL EYEs.-WhiIe DR.. Carpenter,
who is now at the Bangor House in this city,
was tarrying at Waterville, be was called
upon by tough customer of sixty, whose
eyes showed plainly that brandy and water
were no strangers to him, and whose breath
corroborated painfully the statement Of his
eyes. The doctor examined him and sug,
gested that ardent spirits might have some
thing to do with his condition.
"Oh, no." said the old fellow, 81 don't
drink enough to butt anybody. l take
something stimulative when l get up-and
then again just before breakfast only
once at IL o'clock-and little dose before
and after dinner to help gestion-don't
cnly little before and after supper, and just
before 60 to bed"
"That ala" said the doctor.
"Never take anything more unless some
body invites me-"
"Well sir" said the doctor, II think can
cure your eyes, but it will be necessary for
you to leave off drinking entirely"
"What," said he in amazemeut, "can't l
take just little9"
mo sir. not drop. And il you don't
leave off you are liable to become blind.'
"lben farewell eyes," said the old topper
as he seized his hat and made for the door,
evidently afraid the doctor would prescribe
for him before be could get out. The last
seen Of him he was travelling towards thot
locality that the Mail speaks Of Where r. G.
is disposed which kills at forty rods.

DEEP M1N1Na.-The Eureka mine, OF
Amador, which, We believe, has, almost from
its first opening, continued to be the deepest
mine in California, is now down over 1000
feet, and is still found to pay as we'll as at
any point of lesser depth. We believe the
rule holds, thus far in California, almost
without exception, that after any consider
able depth has been attained, there is no
depreciation in profit perceptible-tbe I'M
creasing yield Of the mine making up fully
for the increased expense Of working at a
greater depth. This rule holds good, especi
ally in Grass Valley. Scientific Press.
