Correspondence of the Advocate.
AIR. EDron:-W have been frc.
qucutIy informed by the press and 9TH,
wise, that this is an age of progress; !;
aud some also have characterized the
present as "an age Of great moral ideas" "
| hat this is so, there eau be now no
question; though some old iogics may
even yet be found who will complain of
the dircct,oa our progress is taking, and
o6jcct to The aoyaliW Of some prevails
ing "idcas."
Citizens who I've on the outskirts Of
the county naturally look into the Ad-
rocdtc to see what is going on at the
center, and, since this is the type of the
world to them, to see what direction the
affairs of the wcrd arc taking Your
correspondent Jerry" has given us a
hint Of the kind OF progress which is 60
ing on in religious affairs, which in some
aspects docs seem to encourage the cX-
pcctation that the world will soon be
converted. If the church becomes
pretty much like the world, the world
may be supposed less unwilling to " JON
the church" If dochinal preaching is
given up because what used to be called
"the carnal mind noes not relish it; if
worldly amuscmeuis are baptiscd and en-
couragcd rs means Of supporting the
institutions OF religion then it may be
supposed there will be less 20 hinder the
chariot wheels OF the go2pel,& the world
will soon be converted. But before car.
ryln4 ont the programme it may be well
to ask, converted to wbot?" and to
consider, with all seriousness, whether
it will pay
In the political world we have evi
dencc of progrcas. Our fathers regar-
ded cr pest toct2 laws as essentially un-
just, aud by the constitution forbade
them, not only to Congress but to the
several States. Now the majority Of
the people Gas represented in Congress)
think the same not only just but wise
and necessary.
Again, The idea that the consent Of
the gorcrncd is essential to the Just au-
thority Of government, seems to be given
place to wholly different ideas, one of
which is this, Those who are right
should rule, and are are right. 1t may
indeed be questioned whether the "just
powers" Of civil government arc deter
mined by the consent of the governed )
but we see proyrcss when class Of peo-
pie who held that as an axiom, now hold
that "night makes right" at least where
HcY have the might.
But the hind of progress, that is the
question. WhaE will become OF this
nation if we "progress' much farther ?
If thc church would be the salt of the
EARTH" it must be manifestly not Of
the world" If legislators would secure
for their country the favor of Heaven,
they must obey the constitution to which
they have sworn, and be contentto learn
wisdom from Divine Revelation.

CUFFEE'S BRILLIANT lDEA.-A week
or ten days ago stalwart darkcy ap-
piled to the county clerk for license
to marry, which was promptly issued in
due form BY our affabe clerk, and Mig.
bowed himself out, hat in hand, the hap
picst darkcy alive
The circumstance had been forgotten
by the clerk, when yesterday walked in
the same darkey with his hat under his
arm, when the following conversation
occurred
Ni$-"Mr Clerk, you member bout
dem licenses 2"
Clerk-"Whatl license I"
Mig" Why dem what you glib ne

Clerk-"No, 7 remember nothing
about it. Did issue you license to

Mig. Oats it, boss. OATS it."
Clerk-"Well, what do you want 2"
Nig.-"Why, Use tried dat oman
and don't like her. | jist want you to
rub out her name in dc licenses, and
puts in nudder one"
Clerk-"Why, you rascal, didn't you
marry the woman whose name | put Gu

Nig,-"Of course | did, but you see
| keeps de licenses in my pocket all de

LENT.-Thc season Of Lent, which is
strictly observed as a time of fasting in
the Catholic and Protestant Episcopal
churches, began on Wednesday last and
will continue six weeks, ending on
Easter Sunday.
The rules OF fasting or abstinence in
the Catholic Church are especially
rigid, all over p years of age being re
quircd to obey them. The Baltimore
San says, they arc announced as follow cs
by the Most Rev. Archbishop Spal-
ding Adults make only one meal a day,
except Sundays. The meal allowed on
fast days is not to be taken till about
noon. At that meal, if on and day per-
mission should be granted for eating
flesh, both flesh and fish are not to be
used at the same time, even by way of
seasoning. y small refreshmcnt cons
monty called collation., is allowed in the
evening; no general rule as to the
quantity of food permitted at this time
is or can be made. But the practice Of
the most regular Christian is, never to
let it exceed the fourth part ofau Or
dinary meal.
The following persons are exempted
fiom the obligations of fasting Young
persons under twenty one years of age,
the sick, nursing women, those who
are obliged to do hard LABOR, all who
through weakness, cannot fast without
great prejudice to their health. By
dispensation, the use of flesh meat will
be allowed at any time on Sunday once
a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays, with the exccp-
ton of Holy Thursdays and the second
and last Sa turdays of Lent.

-Foruoy's Chroaic1e is still harping,
about the erection at Washington City
by each State, of residences for its Sena
tors and Representatives. "These," it
says, "shoul1 he spaciou7 and in keep
ing with the dignity and taste of the
States" Let us see how this wonld
work Senators receive about $4,000 a
year in salary and mileage-not counting
"pickings." The dignity of ours could
not therefore be maintained in mansions
costing, with ground and furnishings,
less than 100000 each. Our twenty
four Representatives draw some five or
six thousand dollars, ana could not sus-
tain their dignity in mansions costing,
with grounds and Furnishings, less than
$4,000 each, At this rate it would
cost the State, at very low estimate,
81 100000 for the twenty.six resideu-
ces. Then would come the taxes on
that much real estate the insurance
the repairs and the entire reftting and
relurnishiug every two years, if not
oftener. Wouldn't that be a nice littl,
bill and running account OF costs fol
the taxpayers of Pennsylvania to pay t.
keep up lot Of disunion politicians
whose votes are always in the marke

Eea-The Monongahela Republican,
of Allegheny county, gives an.account
of an elopemont which recently took
place ncarthat town. A woll,to do gcn~
tleman, living near the "Yough," had a
fair daughter, Hester Mary, who loved
a youth Of twenty, and who was loved
in return The father forbade the
young man the privileges ofhis mansion,
and Informed him that he conld, by no
means, have the hand Of his daughter.
\ few days after this. Hester. Mary and
Thomas agreed to "run away" or rather
ride Oh. as Thomas had a carriage for
the occasion, and the old gentleman
being absent they naturally concluded
that the "way was clear" just as they
were about TO start, however, the "cruel
parion@ appeared on the highway, rode
hastily up, seized his daughter by the
arm, ordered her back to the house, and
gave Thomas "leave to CO." Thomas
went, sad and detected, but as he was
driving oil his heart was checroj by
hearing his devoted Hester ex claim,
"Never mind, Tom, l love you still
Ga the following Tuesday she bundled
up her duds, went down, TO Douglas
mills, and met Tom there, when both
took the cars Of the Conueilsyille road
at Suffers station for this city. On
arriving h ere they sought the nearest
aldermau's office, and were married

FENIAN RISING IN lRELAND.-The
news from Ireland to the 9TH, shows
that armed bands Of Fenians have ap.

attacked the police and coast guard,
Conflicts have taken place near dublin,
and also in the counties of Louth and
Cork. a severe engagement took place
between the Fenians and the military
aud police in Drogheda, in which many
were killed and wounded on both sides.
There has been also a fight at Castle

lice at Killmallock were attacked, and
the police barracks at Dromorc. County

persons have been killed by the Fonians
near Dromoro. In counties Clare,

are well supplied with arms and under
good discipline. The communication

was completely interrupted on Wednes.

Ireland are said to have been cut down.
The insurgrnt army in the noighbor.
hood of Dublin is reported by the Chief
Secretary of Ireland, Lord Mans, to
number from one thousand to four thou
sand men. All the dispatches concur
in the statement that the Feniqns have
risen in large numbers, and it is highly
probable that they aim at obtaining poso

the sun. He lights his fire and makes
his coffee then he writes, reads, or COM

no one troubles him in his meditations.
At eleven, whatever the temperature
may be, he goes ont in the terrace of the
house, which is on the same level as his
room, and makes long ablutions with
cold water. Then comes the breakfast
hour, devoted to family chat and reading
of new papers and letters This meal
generally lasts for an hour and half
Then the poet takes long strides across
the island. He works while walking,
and often stops before the prints he ad =

Although he has a good appetite he is
moderate, and no one can say that he

prising the same hence it is emphati
caly the duty Of the better class Of peo
pic, who are the salt Of the household

hold OF a person, it speedily drags him
down tue "path of ruin )" often before

The most abject and hopeless condi.

If you see young man ragged and I'll

say to yourself nothing but liquor
could have brought him so low" That
young man had no idea Of ever becom

and so there are many young men now,
some no doubt in our midst, whose
hopes for a glorious future Of at least,
this life are very bright, but they do
not shrink from that subtle teulpter, an
occasional dram, which is necessarily re-
quired at places where games of chance,
&c, are played at late evenings. The
man who will not take an occasional
drink is not wanted at these public re-
sorts, and he will soon find that what is
there invariably associated with these
otherwise harmless "pass-timos" is not
for him. But the youths, whose char
acters are being formed should never be
thrown in the way of these temptations,
