MEN AND WoMEN-The skeptic some
times asks why so many more women than
men join the church, with an air that inti-
mates that he thinks it is because the latter
are more strongminded. Some one propo-
ses to answer it when the skeptic shall ex :
plain why SO many more men than women
are found in our penitentiaries.

TIE RoYAL PLATE The London Sun
gives prominence to the following statement
lt appears that the gold and silver plate at
Windsor Castle, for the use of her Majesty
aud the court, weighs nearly thirty tons, and
that its value may be roughly estimated at
$4,000, 600 pounds. 1t is secured in stone
chambers with vaulted ceilings, which form
part of the original buildings, and are thor
oughly proof against burglars. Among the
plate is single dish, not of silver gilt, but
of solid gold, made by order of George ",
and representing all the orders, both domes-
tic and foreign, which that sovereign wore,
or was entitled to wear: it is estimated at
fS, 900 pounds. Grand and magnificent as
the assortment of plate is, our readers will
be astonished to hear that very little of it
indeed, is old or curious, most of the plate
used by former sovereigns having been melt
ed down and remodeled by George "; very
much oft, consequently, is tawdry and rocco,
as might naturally be expected from the au-
thor of the Pavilion of Brighton.

The Plea for Beautiful Churches.

The Bishop of Cork, in preaching ut the
opening OF a new church in his diocese,
made the following plea for beautiful church
es: feel personally, of course, as Bish-
op, very much grati6ed at what see, and
am very glad that this pleasing specimen of
architecture is by one of our own commu-
mon and an architect of our own town. The
Almighty Creator himself, We may say with
out lrreverenee. delights in beauty. All the
OF the heavens is beautiful the moon walk
ing In her brightness is beautiful; the sun
Uses and sets in beauty. All creation is
formed IN beauty; and, my Christian friends,
there IS no reason why We should not use
beautiful forms too. What is architecture?
Nothing but the beauty of order, the beauty
OF shape, the beauty of size, the beauty of
proportion. What is music? Nothing but
the beauty of sound. What is painting?
The beauty of color. What is oratory? The
beauty OF speech. What are the higher
sciences? The beauty Of reason. 1t IS con-
trary to Gods design, and contrary to our
nature, that we should not make use of those
things that God seems to delight in
he added: Any new church erected in
the united diocese must be submitted to me
before it can be opened for divine service,
and would cut off my right arm before
"o",u Hauotioh anything tudt WOuiQ lessen
the benefits to be conferred upon the people
committed to our ministers charge; but if
We desire to have, as We have, our houses
not only sufficient to protect US from the
weather, and convenient, but well furnished
in every part and beautifully arranged, are
We to except the house of God If we
could build house to God, with stupen-
dous architecture, we ought to do so-with
the lovliest shapes, and forms, and colors.
| would could have all our churches beau
tiful, and | would could have in them all
beauty of sound. The house is for God
honor and the benefit of his people; and the-
pleasant sounds uttered in it, whether form
ed by instruments, or that most exquisite of
all lnstraments-the human tongue-are
dedicated to the service of God. think it
exceedingly desirable that we should have
such churches as this

tell the people that at one time Brownlow.
whom he now so lavishly applauds, regarded
him as too mean to support for Congress,
though he was the Wing candidate, and that
he voted for and aided in electing Mr.
Churchwell, the Democratic candidate. He
did not tell how BrOwnlOW said he was so
mean that he put up his entire winters pork
in single nail keg. He did not tell that
Brownlow charged him with being too mean
to provide fuel to keep his colored servant
girl warm in the dead Of winter, and how he
would stand her on his cellar door in the
sun to thaw her. He is the fit eulogist of
the man who visited upon him these personal
indignities who, though belonging to the
same party, aided in defeating his earlier as
pirations for Congress, and who published
him high and low as the meanest man in
Tennessee. The man who is regarded by
BrOwnlOW as the meanest man in Tennessee,

present canvass, to perpetuate his dirty power
and prolong his low despotism Memphis
