The ritualistic feud, as it is develop
ing itself in New York, is not entirely
free from personalities, and promises
to become highly interesting to those
who are fond ofa sharp scrimmage. In
the Church Uttonof the 9th, there is an
article specially devoted to DIR. Dix,
who, we infer, has progressed well
towards Rome already, and with not a
few others, is destined to find safe
lodgment there. Omitting the doctri-
nal part OF the article we quote the fol-
lowing personal setting out given to
the young apostle of Ritualism:
"Dr. Dix is not the man of talent we
supposed. He has that everlasting
High Church cold in the head that sug-
gests catarrhal remedy so often to
you. There is no solemnity, no enthu-
siasm, but sort OF speaking-a- piece
style of tone and elocution. He states
things with some shrewdness, bnt does
not know what reasoning is. His SER
have hitherto regarded him as man of
mark. But If Romanism depends upon
his powers unaided to lead us all back.
she trusts to an arm of flesh. The fact
IS, Dr. DIX does not believe his own
scheme. He is not like Pusey, nor
iKeble, nor Hopkins. He is a young
New York STRIPPING, who is bound to
get the eye of the Church. He has a
frank, good natured way that takes
with the courtiers and the sycophants
OF Old TrinIty's hirelings, but no depth;
perfectly reckless scholarship, and
not the least idea of reasoning. He is
not bigot, for bigots are fanatics. He
Is not skeptic, for he does not care
enough for truth to be troubled about a
reason. He is not hanghty, proud,
nor IS he superstitious. Hei is not over
bearing, for he is IA perfect gentleman,
a jolly New York aristocrut, that has a
good position and means to distinguish
himself at all hazards"

AWAsHINGroS correspondent, speak
ing of Surratt, says that his appearance
is in his favor: that looking at him cas-
ually, "you see tall, slim, pale-faced
young fellow, who has the inoffensive
air of a fourth-rate law student. Ex-
cept for total lack of spirituality in
his face, he might almost I'LL the aver

never could have been one of the
"bloods" of Maryland, unless fired up
with whiskey-it is almost impossible
to conceive that he would ever swagger
about under a broad-brimmed hat,
with pistols in his belt and deviltry in
his eyes, as is the Southern fashion.
Yet he IS Southern, even to the passion
of his lips and the scorn of his nostril.
He's commonplace to the last degree.
You find it utterly impossible to make

fancy that during his boyhood he was
not widely unlike the. e.boy-conspir ator,
Harold-he had less of levity, proba-
bly,, but no greater concern in the prac-
ical, necessitons issues of life. Down
in Maryland he hunted, and fished, and
idled-he hasn't the quality of spirit
that leads to society and registering.
He is selfish and cold -blooded. He
seems of wiry and nervous build. but
j think he always knew what he was
about. There is passion in his face, but
not tire. His hair is dry, long, dark,

typical fire-eater in his appearance,
least of all in his manner. I found
plenty of such fellows in Virginia and
North Carolina-never one north of the
Maryland line1 His profile is irregular

FINE HANDs.-We do not know a cor
poreal distinction which the exquisite
covets more than small white hand,
a member which will fit easily into a
lady's glove, and may be exhibited
upon a snowy handkerchief, without
its color suffering by the contrast. To
many, as well as to the late Lord Byron,
such hand is distinctive mark of
gentle" or as we should rather say,
"genteel'' blood. We confess that this
is feeling with which we have never
sympathized. The bronze hand, with
its power of muscle, and its swelling
veins, isito US a far more gratifying OBJ
ject, for it tells of exertion, and So
ciety holds on to civilization by its stall
wart grasp, far more securely than the
most ariStocratic fingers would enable
us to do. We are all the more inclined
to preserve this feeling, after reading "a
paper by MIR. Wilson, upon the ancient
Iberian population of the British Isles.
That gentleman states, that from an.
examination of the sword hilts of those
warrior hunters of old, it is evident that
they must have had very small hands
much smaller than the men of the pres
ent day. The Danes, to, and the
Vikings-the sea-robbers-the marau-
ders and pirates OF ages ago, were dis
t1ngulshed by the same peculiarity;
their massive swords scarcely furnish
room within the guard for the delicate
grasp of a lady's taper fingers, while
the SaXon'ss the workers of the earth,
are marked by the large hand of the la
borer. The small hand is the represen-
tative of luxurious uselessness, the
large hand of earnest toll; and, Just as
the small-handed warriors of old van
ished before the sturdy, continuous en-
erUV of the large handed 1FeutouS will
idle beauty pass away before the truth
of industry, and the labor OF the large
handed will at once support and rule
the world. 20 -. gfs ~

PLEssNEss.-"0h, that L could
sleep" How often is this prayer ad-
dressed to the night by the lonely
watcher ON the pillow! But just as
sleep is courted, SO does it seem to fly
away; and at the seasons at which it is
wanted the most, as in times of sorrow
and suffering, sleep becomes more and
more ftful, disturbed, and unfrequent.
The happy child sleeps, so does the
happy man, or woman, iull of physical
health. Sleeplessness comes with
thought, care, trials; the highly culti-
waited and civilized being sleeps nothing
like so soundly as the untutored hind
or the rude savage. The thinking
mans dreams are thoughtful. His an
imal being has become merged in the
intellectual. His nervous system is in
state of high tension, asleep and
awake5 and it becomes question to
him of the highest interest, ''How can
fall aSleep?" As a general rule, all
mental exertfon should be avoided in
the evening hours; and strong tea,
especially green tea, ought to- be es-
chewed. The latter has an extraorii-
nary power of prolonging sIeepIessness,
more than any drug we know of The
perusal of book late in the evening,
requiring active thought to keep up
WIN IL, Will luuuce NakeIulneSS IN ex-
citable brains for many hours after GO
ing to rest. In such cases only light
literature ought to be induIged in. Ex-
citing conversation, or exciting music
have also the effect of keeping the brain
active for many hours, and, therefore,
it is better to avoid these late at night,
if you would sleep soundIy. Various
receipts have been given for inducing
sleep, of which the most usual are those
inducing monotony, such as repeating
tain number of figures, and so on.
Franklin, when sleepless, took an air
bath-that is, he walked undressed
about his chamber. Sermons have been
found very etfectual, but these cannot
be conveniently admfnistdFed at bed
time.

EVILS OF GossIP.-I have known a
country society which withered away
all to nothing under the dry rot of gos-
sip only. Friendships, once as firm as
granite, dissolved to jelly, and then run
away to water, only because of this;
love, that promised future as endur-
ing us heaven and as stable as truth
evaporated into n mornin1-mist thai
turned to days long tears, only be-
cause OF this; a father and son were
set foot to foot with the fiery breath of
an anger that would never cool again
between them, only because of this; and
q husband and his young wife, each
straining at the hated leash which in
the beginning had been the golden
bondage of "a God blessed love, sat
mournfuEiy by the side of the grave
where all their love and all their ioy
lay buried, andonly because of this. 1
have seen faith transformed to mean
doubt, hope give place to grim despair,
and charity take on itself the features
of black malevolence, all because of the
spell words of scandal, and the magic
mutterings of gossip. Great crimes
work great wrongs, and the deeper
tragedies OF human life spring from its
larger passions; but woeIul and most

A QUESTION AND ANswER.-From the
correspondence column of Noahs Netu
York Times aud Messenger for this
week we take the following question
and answer: ls
QWestion.-Is it proper for married
lacy to kiss-a young man when he
calls at herhouse, and also on his sleav-
ARSWer.-Yes, if her husband likes
1t. If he happens TO be of that generous
nature which takes delight in Witness
ing the lavish distribution of such atfec-
tiOnate favors among his. friends; II he
loves TO see his wife sbestoY her careSses
and endearments literally upon other
gentlemen. it is quite right for her to
crafty him in the premises as far as
her sense of propriety Will permit. The
majority of husbands, however, are not
of that public spirited type. They are
selfish enough to believe that the very
name of wife has about il something
holy, and, as she is the sanctuary of her
husbands honor, that there ought to be
about her, individually, a delicate and
graceful reserve towards all other men.
Ihey think her conduct ought TO be
calculated TO impress them with a con-
sct2usness of her personal purity, and
OF lne "omanly dignity with which she

kiss IS harmless thing in itseIf. A
wife may very innocentIy or yarv
thoughtlessly bestow one on a pentIs-
man other than her husband, and he

cent or thoughtless act to a degrading
impulse. and the world itselfis entirely
too much inclined to coincide with the
aforesaid uncharitables.

A eESTLEMAS who had an interview
with Thad. Stevens in Washington, last
Sunday, says that in the course OF the
conversation, the great Commoner com
planned of the great Affections he en-
dured from the constant calls of all
sorts ofpersons, for every conceivable
purpose. 1t appears that among late
visitors, was the distinguished Robert
Dale Owen, who asked and had permis-
sion TO read lengthy communication
from the spirits of Clay, Webster and
Stephen A. Douglas, on the subject of
reconstruction. After the reading,
Stevens was asked what he thought of
their views. "Well," said he, ''present
my compliments to those great de
functs, ami tell them for me, that if
they have nothing better to offer on
that important subject. I think that
since they died they have not been in a
progressive state. Especially Tpresent

IN an article on "The Clergy and the
Pulpit" the London Saturday ReUiev
thus accounts for the alleged duIlness
OF sermons: "For why are sermons
dull? The main reason, we take it, is
that given in rather coarse form in
the common proverb, that you can't
make silk purse out OF. a sow's ear.
a large portion of the clergy cannot be.
otherwise than dull when they preach,
simply because it is not in them. Their
speeches are dull, their letters are dull,
their conversation is dull, except when
YOU want actual infOrnatiOn from them
which they happen to possess. We are
not speaking in contempt in saying this.
We merely mean That, with the sources
of intellectual excitement so abundant
as they now are oBevery side, the mere-
ly average man1can hardly expect TO
speak continuously upon any subject
in a way to interest an intelligent lis
teper, Let any one who has been at
college try to recall to his mind the av-
erage capacity of those of his compan-
ions who have taken orders, and then
remember that these same men repre-
sent Tor the most part that educated
portion OF the clergy whose gradual
suppression by the Hterates Is oecom-

pIaint, that we think he will hardly
wonder at the average sermon not be-

MILTON AND JoHSsoS.-A literarycrit-
ic has propounded the question whether
the personal character of Milton, or that
of DIR. johnson, has had the greater in
tluence on mankind. If the question
were simply one of the comparative
degree of mental power possessed by
the two men, there would be no difIi-
Guilty whatayer in deciding it-fndeed,
such question could hardly be raised
The height and breadth and depth of
MiIton's mind was enormously greater
than those of Johnson's; but it Is ut
least doubtful whether the lesser mind
has not had more extensive influence
over the habits and thoughts of Eng
lishmeu than the egreater-perhaps even
by reason of its inferiority. A writer
in the London NelrS quotes from
Wordsworth's celebrated sonnet about
MilIoa, in which occurs the line u
THY soul was like star, and dwelt apart
and asks whether such expressions
could possibly be applied to johnson.
No; but that very fact limits the degree
of RIilton's influence, except on select
minds. Johnson's did not ,'dYelI
apart" he circulated in all kinds of
society, by which he was swayed, and
which he swayed in turn. Johnson's
mind was exactly harmonized withthat
of his countrymen, in its business, its
actually, its detiniteness, its respecta-
bility, its conservatism, It's British
preiudices, its narrowness, yet thor
oughness within, its limits prescribed,
its prosaical common sense and tone of
portly authority; and for some genera
tions Johnson was the Pope of the
English literary world. Millions mis-
sion was far greater one. We have
yet to reach the height of his intellect
ual grandeur;. but his aetualinhuence
has, we think, been less striking than
that of johnson.
