LECTURES ON THE NATURE OF SPIRIr and of
Man as Spiritual Being. BY Chauncey
Giles, Minister of the New Jerusalem Church.
/ 12mO. PIP. 106. New York: Published by the
General Convention of the New Jerusalem
Church.
The author of this work, distinguished
clergyman of the Swedenborgian Church, dis
cusses the great themes of immortality and the
future life from the gen eral standpoint of those
who embrace that faith. Man is first viewed
by him as spiritual being, clothed, while in
this world, with a material, mortal body
Death is described as kind of disrobing, a lay
ing off of the mortal or outside garment of the
spirit while the resurrection is the rising
forth of the spiritual body thus uncovered into
the realms of spiritual existence. He also
treats of the World of Spirits, of the Judg-
ment, of "Man's Preparation for his Final
Home" of "The State of Man in He'll" and Of
Man in Heaven" He maintains that the
state ofmen hereafter depends altogether upon
the characters formed by them in the present
life. Mr.. Giles is an able and eloquent writer
his ideas are expressed with great clearness
and much wealth of illustration as well as
force OF Scriptural argument is brought to
bear upon the different parts of the subject
His work is one which will be found of inter-
est to thoughtful readers in general, and Of
special value to those interested in this partic-
ular class of inquiries. 1t is very clearly print
ed and neatly bound and is for sale i'm this city

oaN1oiS, Iuity So3 Aoot.
To the Editor of the Press: -'.'- '. ''
Real estate in this city has very largely in
creased in value during the past few years
1 may safely say to the extent of almost fifty
per cent. Houses which five years ago could
have been bought for $500, now sell readily
for double that amount. An eligible house lot
cannot be obtained for less than four hundred
dollars, and prices range as high as two thou
sand dollars More changes in ownership
have taken place this spring than ever before
during the same period OF time. Everybody
has either bought or means to do SO. Rents
are non-come-atable. Houses ten minutes
walk from the postoffice, with five rooms and
no garden, are held at $3.50 or Whereabouts, and
due to imitation of the currency is a debatable
question; but there is no denying its existence.
The fact that there has been some little rail-
road talk and much interest excited as to the
best method of developing our natural resour-
tes, may have something to do with this in
creased valuation. To use a common express
sion, Bangor is getting too big for its breech-
es," and with its increased trade and prOsperi-
ty comes crying need of larger accommoda-
tiOns. -''' '''i

The NATIONAL FINAyCEs.-The statement
of the receipts and expenditures of the United
States for the quarter ending March 81, pub
lished yesterday, shows balance in favor Of
the Government of $4,000, 200. An analysis OF
the statement shows that in round numbers
129 millions have been realized from loans
which must some day be paid, while 1T mil
lions have been expended in extinguishing the
public debt The net decrease of the debt then
for this quarter is about 4S millions, and the
income of the Government has exceeded the
current expenditures by nearly IS millions
This is certainly a very encouraging statement
The revenue from the customs is S46, 100 yO8s
against $46,645, 59S in the same period last
year. The internal revenue shows
considerable falling of, n being
only $4S,358,434 against $66,153 O3e
last year. This was of course expected. The
amendments to the internal revenue laws rec
commended by the Secretary of the Treasury
and passed by Congress have all been design
ed to tighten the burden of domestic taxation.
1t is hardly to be expected that the balance OF
the year will show SO good results as the last
quarter. The expenditures will be increased
by costly preparations for an Indian war, even
ifthe war itself be avoided. Large issues OF
bonds are to be made for the Pacific railroad
Heavy payments Ofinterest are yet to be taken
into the account. Nevertheless we are moving
in the right direction, and temporary check
may not be without its uses as an economical
lesson.

The Temperance Question.

We nublish two communications this morn
ing, relating to the Temperance reform, both
called out by the discussion now going on in
this State. One of our friends appeals to tho
testimony of the churches of Massachusetts in
favor of prohibitory law, as if the question
were here between Prohibition and License
No such queston'is mooted. The other wants
TO know, whether the people can constitution
ally vote on the amendments, whether the aV-
erage opinion favors the imprisonment pehi'i-
V, why the penalty has not been applied OH
the third conviction heretofore, whether the
Democratic party may not be grained ny inc
ratification of the amendments, &c, nc
We have already stated that the amendato-
nv act was passed by the Legislature as abso-
lutely and unc additionally as any act OF the
session. The separate act, ito ascertain the
will of the people" furnishes an opportunity
for the electors to speak for themselves on this
question, but we do not understand that the
vote of Monday will in any event affect the va
lidity of the amendatory act. Its significance
will be entirely moral. Whether the average
opinion favors the imprisonment penalty. will
better appear next week, but we infer that it
doeS, irom the itct tnab the penalty has stoou
upon our statute book since 1853, and the addi-
tional proof that while there has been no at
tempt to repeal it, our Legislators last winter
voted to render it a certain instead OF a cohtih-
gent consequence of conviction under the law
Why the penalty has not been generally appil-
ed heretofore. we do not now consider, but if it
is not TO be applied it should be repealed. Is 1t
to be supposed that the penalty OF imprlsoh-
ment was affixed to the offence of selling
liquors in 1855 with the understanding that it
would be rarely or never applied?. Is it to be
supposed that our felow-citizens are willing to
support a sham law, but are unwilling to sub
nit to its enforcement? If the people of
Maine were guilty of this hypocrisy, they
would deserve to have the law enforced until
compelled to come out of their hiding places
and ayow their opposition to it. We deny and
repudiate this monstrous SANDER. The people
of Maine want the law administered as it is;
when they want change, they will demand
it by legislative action and not by executive
inaction. The question now is simply wheth-
er the enforcement of the law in accordance
with its obvious and full intent shall receive
the moral support of the community. TO that
question we expect an affirmative reply. a.,..
