"No Pooh AMONG THEM."-A writer in
the London Christian World, describing
the proceedings in Ritualistic Church,
says itresembled a Catholic Church, except
in " the presence of the poorest of the poor
In an article elsewhere in the MORNING
STAR, describing Christianity in New York,
the same fact is dwelt upon. In our Holy
Church alone do the poor find that provi-
sion made for them which our Lord COM
manded. "Lo the poor have the Gospel
preached unto them but not in the Pro-
testant Church.
In the Cathedral in Gordon Square an
effect is sometimes produced almost as
scenic as any in Roman Catholic Cathe-
dral. All that is wanted to make you be-
lievc that you are in q Roman Catholic
place of worship is n little incense, n few
more banners, little more life in tho pull
pit, and, above all, the presence of consid-
cradle numbers of the poorest of the poor.
Here, indeed, the resemblance fails there
are no poor, comparatively speaking. Every
one is distressingly genteel; and could
swear more than once when l have been
present, the preacher, so fashionable has
been his lisp, has been, if not Lord Dun
dreary himself, at any rate his own " broth;
cr Thwam."

SAND DOLLARS, once for all, and will be enti-
tied to send student approved of by the
Bishop for three years.
g. LIFE MEMBERS, who, by contributing FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS, will share in the holy sa-
crifices and prayers of the College and of the
students.
The names of all these three classes will be
enrolled and placed Ina handsome frame, to
DO kept in the Chapel of the American Col
lege, and Solemn High Mass will be celebrated
for them in Rome twice year; once for the
living and once for the deceased benefactors !;
besides the private Masses which each priest
educated at the College will feel impelled by
gratitude to offer up frequently for their
spective Patrons and Bcnefactors and their fa-
miles.
This plan, if zealously and efficiently car
ried ont, will, are convinced, accomplish
the desired result in very short time. One
Catholic gentleman in Baltimore has already
founded IL Burse, and others will follow his
good example We believe that we can safely
calculate OH the following amounts to be real

above named:

trusted this important matter, and in whose
zeal and efficiency have the utmost conf
dence, will call upon you in the course of the
coming winter. You will, are quite sure,
receive him worthily, our representative

CATHOLICISM NOT INIMICAL TO LIBERTY
The following extract is from a commune
cation in the Church Times, to which it was
contributed by n minister of the Episcopal
Church. 1t is candid, sensible and truth
full, and entitled to more than ordinary con-
sideration from the fact that it emanates
from person whose position exonerates
him from all suspicion of partiality:
ait has been asserted that Catholicism
clings to despOtism, and thrives best under
an autocracy which will bully disscnters and
caress believers. To this oft-repeated allie
CATION Switzerland gives a fiat denial. With
Democratic government Catholicism
thrives and makes Roadway. Perfect rcli-
gious liberation exists in Switzerland, and
less dissent is to bc found in the orthodox
cantons than in the most priest-riddcn mon
archy. Liberty is the aiI. Catholicism flour
ishes best in, and enforced Catholicity
/ breeds disatfection. The contrast between
Il Protestant and Il Catholic canton is very
marked. y gloom, IL doggedncSs, Il Philis-
| tinism with which we English are we'll ac-
quaintcd, are traccable in the reformed
counties: but, the moment the border is
I crossed, you burst into sunshine and smiles.
Our own cherished island is the spot on
which the genuine BLACKBOARD springs up
and ripens into perfection, and his equal is
not to be found on the Continent, but the
causes which combined to produce him in
our land are mt work elsewhere. and give
birth to Il creature not altogether unlike
him, aud tue Prussian or the Bernese Ober-
land still exhibits specimens in different
stages OF development; but you may hunt
the shores of the Lake of Lucerne and the
long green trough of the Vallais, without
finding one of that ill for the church con-
stantiy, and even unconsciously, retines and
sottens. whilst Calvinism dcepens the shad-
ows of the chaIact er, and lifts the restraints
from the animal nature. Humility is the
source of gentility, and selfsutficiency OF
blackguardism and the Roman Church, by
carrying humility to the verge of fault,
has so impressed its grace on those with
whom it deals, that they are instinctively
courteous; whereas the reformed party, by
throwing each man on his own self con
seriousness for his religion, putfs him up
with pride, and in certain cases blows him
into utter blackguardism.'

DREAD OF SUDDEN DEATu.-There is an
almost universal dread of sudden death
nor can We wonder ut this dread, when we
consider what IL lnomentous thing death
is, and how solemn is the realitou which it
involves. But after all, dees it not spring
-does it not receive force and point
mainly in the consciousness that we have
not Il habitual preparation for death, and
consequent "dread- of something after,
dcath!" Does it not spring from IL con-
sciousncsS that we. are leaving something
undonc which we would wish to repair in
dying hour! And yet how rare are the
instances in which death does not come
suddenly! Down to the last hour of life,
and almost to the latest gasp, the wasting
consumptive will repeat his oft-told delu-
sive story of 'being a little better,'' thus
huGGing the dclusivc hope of life till its
last sand is already falling from LIES emp
tied glass. Who Of us will die when, and
where, as we supposed Probably not one
The fact is, death comes suddenly to all
/ breaks in upon all the unfinished plans
OF life, and hurlics the victim away. No
startling admonition breaks upon the air to
warn us ofits appaoacll.

Negro Supremacy Bound to Go Down.

an article under the caption of The Terrible

alarm at the drift Of the popular current, and

VIRGINIA NEWS.

John NJ. Bros;us, of Liberty, has Invented q
new coupling OF railroad cars, destined, probably,
to supersede all others. It dispeDses entirely
with the necessity of q hand between the cars to
fasten it. The mere pressure Of the cars to-
ccther is sufficient to tasteD it securely. But
the greatest advantage Of the new coupler is
that it unfastens itself if the engine or any car
should be turned or thrown off the track.
A large meeting of citizens Of Norfolk was
held on Thursday night to ratify and endorse
the sentiments contained in the reply of Gen.
Lee to Gen. Rosecraus. Speeches were MADE

warehouses, and the James River Hotel No
Richmond freight was destroyed. The total
loss is estimated at $4,000.
