ry might indeed ground some hard accusations
upon the surprising performances OF the New
York Observer as herein developed, and allege
in the language of an ecclesiastical indictment
in one of the old records of the Presbyterian
Church, that it seems to manifest great un-
tenderness for the TRUTH and that if it would
only try little more, it might possibly do
better part by it. But it should be remember
ed that after all the reckless hardihood of as
sertion so often used, the writer has still put
in this modest qualification far as ace
haze any knowledge and "aoe do not kno'o,
DC An admission so ample-almost an apol-
ogy-should go a long way towards covering a
multitude of sins, impudence of assertion not
excepted.
There are only two other little matters near
the close which may call for remark.
The Observer wishes to "stand by Dr. At
kinson. 1t needs propping from somebody
Very well; we have no objection, if DIR. A
has none. But will it please bear in mind that
this same gentleman has declared in the very
outset of his discussion-"I acould protest
against the Interpretation placed by the Edi-
tors of certain Northern journals on the action
of our late General Assembly with respect to
the Freedmen?'' And again, he testifes that
their Interpretation placed upon the papers
finally adopted by the Assembly, is harsh and
unacarantaJle r The trouble then is that DR..
Atkinson will not in this thing stand by the
Observer; its own oracle begins by pronouncing
against it with damaging protest!
The Observer says some thing in the begin
ming and again in the conclusion, abouta "vai''

shall raise no question as to the refinement OF
taste displayed either in the selection or the
handling of the illustration, but as it seems to
be one very much to the liking of the writer,
it may not be out of place to add, by way of re,
turning the compliment, that we are inclined
to think he may be right in the main idea

The New York Observer. 1t was thought
proper to publish the article from that paper
in full, that our readers may have the means of
judging fairly as to the mode and success with
which that journal is trying to maintain the
issue it has made. 1t was also judged best
upon the whole to give it an immediate reply,
while the points are fresh in the minds of all.
As this occupies as much room as it is suita-
bile to devote to that subject this week, the
train of discussion we were pursuing is laid by
till the next.

of this kind that was not of high order of
merit, such as it would be delight to continue
to sing, "e'en down to old age. And we
cannot understand why very large proper
ton of the tunes and the hymns Of the great
masters in song currently in use by the
Church, should not have their place in the
Sabbath School also. IF chaste simplicity,
and the test of time are any criterion, they
ought not to be excluded; though it may be
old fogyism to say so.
We make these remarks because we believe
them well founded, and because we desire the
prosperity of our Committee in all its opera
tons IF the Central Presbyterian has failed
to show its devotion to this great work, it can
never hope to make manifest its zeal for any
thing. But no one can desire us to become
the indiscriminate eulogists of every thing
which belongs to it. We believe it is coming
nobly forward, under the lead of its efficient
Secretary, to take its place as one of the most
useful agencies of our Church.
We desire to say distinctly, before we close,
that Notwithstanding the defects pointed out,
we consider these "Songs of Praise to be BY
far the best book of the kind zoe kno'o, and as
was said in our first notice it has enough
tfrst-rate pieces to gire life to any Sabbath
School" We wish for it, as it deserves, q
wide circulation. When it reaches another
edition, we hope to see, indeed we make nc
doubt there will be, number of these pieces
left out, and some of the choice pieces.of Other
authors than Mr.. Bradbury put in, even at the
cost of purchasing the use of them. And
holding stedfastly the doctrine that about fifty
first rate tunesA1ould be all that any Sabbath
School really needs, and as many as three
fourths of them wish to have, we also hop
that at some future time an edition may b
prepared upon this scheme, and at about hal
the price of the present volume.

The Presbyter will please understand that

An Item which every Man should
Read.

We have, probably, all Of us, met with
instances in which word heedlessly
spoken against the reputation of a female
has been nlagnified by malicious minds
until the cloud has been dark enough to
overshadow her whole existence. To
those who are accustomed, not necessa-
rily from bad motives, but from thought
lessness, to speak lightly of ladies, we
recommend these "hints" as worthy of
consideration. Never use ladies name
in an improper place, at an improper
time, Or in mixed company. Never
make assertions about her that you think
untrue, or illusions that you feel she her.
self would blush to hear When you
meet with mon who do not scruplc to
make use ofa womans name in reckless
and unprincpled manner, shun them,
for they are the very worst members of
the community - men lost to every
sense of honor, every feeling of humani-
ty.
Many good and worthy woman's
character has been forever ruined and
heart broken by lie manufactured by
some villain, and repeated where it
should not have been, and in the pres
ence of those whose little judgment
could not deter them from circulating
the foul Dragging report. a slander is
soon propasated, and the smallest thing
deroSatory to a woman's character will
fly on the wings Of the wind, and mag
Nifty as it circulates, until its monstrous
weight crushes the poor unconscious vic
tim. Respect the name of women, for
your mother aud sisters are women; as
you would have their fair name unfair
nlshed, all Their lives unembittered by
the slanderer's tongue heed the i'll that
your own words may bring upon the
mother, the siste, or the wife of some
fellow-creature

A Shower Of Stones.

Poageadorfs Annu,ar describes q
shower of stones which fell in the North
of Hungary Oh the 9th of June last, and
which strange to say, has never been e.
ven remotely alluded to at any sitting of
the Paris Acadmy of Sciences, which Is
supposed to receive announcement of re-
markable events from every quarter Of
the globe. The phepomenon is DESERT
bed as follows:
On the day above mentioned noiso
resembling discharge af several batter
les of artillery, was heard, rs If coming
from the north, in the region comprised
between the Carpathian Mountains, Mis-
cholz, Tokay and Ungyar. Immediate
ly afterward n small black cloud, not big
ger than ten times the apparent size Of
the sun, and from which sort of gray
ish dust, which would most probably
have appeared luminous by night, was
expelled in every direction. Two or
three minutes after, another rumbling
noise which lasted more than quarter
of an hour, was heard, during which n
shower of meteoric stones fell on several
small villages. Those which, immedi-
ately after their fall, were touched by
the people were found to be hot; but most
of them were not picked up till the day
after owing to the fright occasioned by
the phenomenon. The largest of these
stones did not weigh less than 275 kilogr.
and had penetrated four feet in the soil;
ton to have been from northwest to
southeast. The mass was broken in two.
Another stoac weighed 81 kilogr., and
Il few ounces. 1t is calculated that about
| 900 stones must have fallen, forming an
aggregate weight of at least 500 kilogr.
