SCENES IN A METHODIST CHURCH.

According to the old established custom, a
number of The Methodist churches in this
CITY were open on Tuesday night for special
midnight services, intended to mark with
greater solemnity the death of the old and
the birth of the new year. At the Seven
teenth Street Church the services were pc
culiarIy impressive Although a driving
snow-storm set in during the evening, the
church was well filled by eleven O'Clock.
Rev. Mr.. Corbitt, the pastor of the church,
occupied the pulpit, and number OF the
prominent members of the church ranged
themselves in front of the pulpit. The pas
tor made an imprisoned address on topics
suggested by the close of the year, and at
about half-past eleven the whole congregation
Joined in singing the old hymn
1.-THE judgment day is rolling on,
Prepare to meet thy Cod
The pastor then invited those present who
had anything to say to relate their exper-
fences, but to confine themselves to one min
ute each. In response to this invitation n
number of the members, male and female,
made few very brief and usually really elo-
uuent remarks The lady speakers were
especially felicitious in their observations,
and in no instance did they exceed the re-
quired limit of time.
At the request of the pastor one of the
church members made stirring prayer,
which was accompanied rather than inter
rupted by the groans of those about the al
tar who were excited by the exhortations of
the speaker. The pastor then announced
that the last few moments of the old year
would bo passed in silent prayer; and every
individual in the house knelt. the most com
plete silence prevailing, in marked contrast
to the loud praying that proceeded it. The
clock on the front of the gallery was heard
in its steady ticking with almost painful dis
tinctness, as it marked the dying throbs of
1867. At II o'clock, Rev. Mr.. Corbitt, still
kneeling in the pulpit, began singing the
hymn,

Here the influence Of intemperance is mark

Hisjulsment becomes clouded and impaired
in It's strength, tie memory also enfeebled and
sometimes quite obliterated. The mind is
wandering and vacant, and incapable Of intense

state is usually accompanied by an unmeaning

TIE Facets Of Ardent Spirits on
the Moral Powers.

It is perhaps difficult to determine in what
way intempcrance first manifests its influence
on the moral powers, so variously does IL effect
different individuals. Were l to speak from
my own observation, I should say that II first
nrpears in an alienation Of those kind and
tender sympathies which bind o man to his
family and friends those lively sensibilities
which enable him to participate in the joys
and sorrows Of those around him. "The social
affections lose their fitness and tenderness, the
conscienee its power, The heart its sensibility,
SIN all that was once lovely and rendered him
the Joy aud the idol of his friends, r%etires,"
leaves him to the dominion ofthe appetites
and passions of the brute. "Religious enjoy
ment, If he ever possessed any, declines as the
emotions excited by ardent spirit arise" He
looses by degrees, his regard to truth and to
the fulflment Of his cngagements-he forgets
the Sabbath and the house Of worship, and
lounges upon his bed. or fingers at the tavern.

not heard, and his closet no longer listens to

that those who drink nothing but

climate, and a undergo fatigue

that they are very rare.
