".goi Goi,pg TO Church,

The above is the caption of a good
editorial in a late lumber Of the N. Y.
Observer, from which we are gratified
to learn that the editors of that pa
per have become protestants against
political preaching. We extract from
the article referred to, the following
truthful and sensible remarks:
"The moment that n suspicion of
the existence Of n predominant par
tisan or political feeling, on the part
Of the preacher, is excited in a Ger
tain class Of minds of opposite senti-
ments, his influence over them is ut
terly gone. The preacher himself
may conscientiously believe that he is
called to the lofty work of vindicating
the independent utterances Of the pull
pit, and he may brave strong adverse
influences in discharging what no ro-
CARDS as a sacred duty. But it would
be well for him TO consider what the
effect Of his words and course must
be on persons not predisposed in his
favor who may chance to hear him,
and who have souls to be saved or lost.
The interests of what are sometimes
spoken Of as political crises sink into
utter insignifcanee by the side Of
those vast issues which attend upon
the delivery of the solemn message of
heaven TO a guilty, dying race. We
are confident that there can be no
vindication of the dignity or authori-
w Of the pulpit to be compared to that
which is found in the faithful dis
charge of its sacred duties, in calling
men to repentance, and pointing their
trembling trust TO the Lamb Of God.
1t is a startling thought that there
are men who visit our sanctuaries,
and, having heard once, are disclined
to repeat the visit, because they feel
that they have been treated 90 a rilu-
alistic show, or been fed on political
or ormetaphysical rhetoric. Mutitudes
OF intelligent and even educated men,
who ought TO be found openly and
boldly on the side Of religion, are
abandoning our churches, and, al
though the leading cause of their with
drawal is one for which they are
alone responsible, it is to be feared
that, in some cases, there is only too
much ground for the reasons by which
they extcnuate the guilt of their neg
lect. To every church and to every
pastor it should be a serious question
how far is an unfaithful presenta
ton Of Gospel truth, or feeble exhib-
ition of his power, the occasion for so
sad resultg

There is in this very city young

afflicted with q mania for initiating

while in state of somnolenco. We
arc assured that at the hour appoint
ed by nature for chanticlcer TO fright.
en- away the midnight prowlers from
yawning graveyards, the fortunate
husband Of the "crowing wife, on the
first night Of his marriage, was rous
ed from Lis slumbers by most lusty
growing On opening his eyes what
was his astonishment to behold his
better half seated in the middle Of
the connubial couch of coniugal bliss,
tapping her wings and growing in a
most loud and clear voice, stretching
out her neck after the most approved
rooster fashion Thrice did she thus
"herald in the morn, and then sank
back and slept on. In the morning
he spoke 60 her about il, and was not
more surprised than amused to learn
that she had been born in the country
and that a favorite "Shanghai," " which
roasted with his feathered family in
the hen coop near the window OF the
maternal bed-chambor, frightened her
mother by his loud Growing, and thus
the child was marked" And ever
since-yes, even when babe lying in
the cradle she had been wont to awake
the echoes Of the coming dawn by i'm
itating aye rooster"-and still, each
morn She "haps her wings and crows.
As tho business Of the husband re-
quires him to rise very early, be ]:
rather pleased than otherwise to find

accomplishment, which dispenses with
the necessity for an alarm clock

bound to stop his wife's growing by

wise him to let bis chen" crow on, Sc
long as she docs not peck him.
Some persons may question The
truth Of this remarkable incident, but
we can assure such that il is true in
every particular, and can be vouched
for by responsible parties who have
known the lady from infancy; and
the moral of it is, that ladies who do
not desire "crowing children" should
not sleep too near the hon-coop.

long years in unrelenting hostility.
The conduct of the British in the
treatment of American prisoners in
the Jersey prison ships, and the bar
bartios of their Hessian allies under
Kniphausen, were still fresh in the
general recollection; but neither the
Jersey Blues" nor the old Maryland
Line, in view of the triumph they
had achieved, felt like intlicting a Bill
Of Pains or Penalties upon the Tories
of the Revolution. From the year
'76 to 'S3, nearly all the members Of
the respectable society of Friends,
and numerous others in the Colonies,
belonged to the Tory or Loyal King
George side Of the question. DR..
Franklin's son, the Governor of New
Jersey, was "Tory,' but the patri-
OTIS OF '76 rose above the spirit of
revenge. They had no 'hiends to
reward-no enemies to punish" but
forgave the past, and regarded all,
Wings and Tories, as American citi-
zens. There was no confscation of
property. No prescription of "Loy-
alists" or "Rebels" was for a moment
entertained. Allwere guaranteed the
rights Of persons and property. The
true men Of the country were for a
General Amnesty and forgiveness OF
the past. As it was then, why cannot
it be so now A common origin, n
common brotherhood, n common coun-
try, and a common destiny, no less
than the precepts Of humanity and
christianity, teach us TO forgive and
forget the past, no matter how wrong
our Southern fellow-citizens may have
been in commencing the Rebellion.
They have paid the penalty Of their
error, however wicked or wilful it

vanquished South with a generous
confidence, if wo are to have peace

THE FFEREscE.-Abouto one year
ago the President of the United %
States visited Chicago for the purpose
of participating in the Inauguration
of the monument to the memory of
Stephen A. Douglass, and at almost
every point on the route, where he
stopped, was grossly and indecently
insuited by Radical blackguards. A
few days ago this same President
visited Raleigh, North Carolina, to
be present at tho Inauguration of a
monument to his father, and from the
hour he lett Washington until his re-
turn, he received nothing but courtesy
and hospitality at the hands Of the
people. Such is the contrast between
Northern Radicals and Southern
Chivalry"-such the fruits Of New
England puritanism, on the one hand,
and the "barbarism of Southern sla
very" on the other Crawford Dem
