CHURCHES IN LARGE CITIEs.-The Amer.
can Churchman, religious paper published
at Chicago, has the following on the subject
of the condition of the churches in our large
cities:
1t is fact of the gravest Importance to
the future of this country, that the bonds of
common religion does not exist. The
strongest of all the ties of social order has no
place among US. And this Is not only so
from the division of the people into sects,
but, what is far more serious, it is so at least,
from the division into social classes. No
longer among us is Christianity, even in the
vaguest and widest meaning Of the term,
common bond between the rich and the poor.
The census of our large cities betrays the
fact that, in the heart of each of them, there
is an enormus mass of practical heathenism |,
large population who are attendants on no
form of public worship whatever class
who are cut off from another class, not only
by the difference of wealth and culture So
cially, but who do not come in contact with
it even in religion. 1t is possible, in other
countries, where there is a large and controll-
ing common faith, Notwithstanding the wide
differences in all else, for cobber and a
prince 10 knel side by side, for duchess
and a seamstress to bend together at the
same communion rail.

THERE is no such thing as chambermaid in
Russia. Women, generally, are rare and
shy, much of the Asiatic feeling as to the
propriety OF their seciusion prevailing in the
national mind. Women may be found in
the fields, driving oxen, sowing seed. and
cleaning corn. They may be found sheep
shearing. wool-washing, or even following
the plough, harsh-voiced, coarse, fat-faced
things, with small lustreess eyes, wide nos
trils, and large mouths. Women also may
be found at Court and in ball rooms, blazing
with jewels, and daintily arrayed, but in the
home life of the middle classes they seem to
disappear altogether. Now and then by ac-
cident, withered old bag, with bare legs,
will be observed carrying frewood for the
stoves, or doing some rough, menial work ;
but a smart little maid. all smiles and blush
es, or a comely dame with bonny welcome on
her face, is never seen by visitor in the
house of Russian under the rank of a
Prince; and then only because the higher
rank of the travelled people have copied
foreign manners for even Princes, when
they live in out-of-the-way places, shut up
their wives and daughters as jealousv as
Turks. A bed is also very scarce thing in
Russia. Many Muscovite celebrates never
think of going to bed. They know not how to
90 to bed. most of them. An Ex-Governor
General of St. Petersburg and Minister Of
State were both discovered between sheets.
at one Of the late Emperor's palaces, in full
uniform, with their Jack kboots and spurs on
A Russian peasant scarcelv knows what the
use of bed means He rolls himself up in
his sheepskin anywere and everywhere, and
sleeps till he is hungry. He has no fixed
hours of rest, and is as likely to sleep at
MONDAY as awake at midnight.

How TO BREAK BALKY HoRsEs-If you
have balky horses, says the American Far
mer, it is your own fault and not that of the
horses, for if they do not pull true there is
some excuse for it, and if you will remove
the cause, the effect wi cease. When your
horse baks he is excited; stop him FIVE or
ten minutes let him become calm; 90 to
the balky horse, pat him and speak gently
to him. and us soon as he is over his excite
ment. he will, in nine cases out of ten, pull
at the word. Whipping and slashing and
swearing only makes the matter worse
After you have gentled him while and
his excitement has cooled down, take him
by the bits, turn him each way few min
utes as far as you can, pull out the tongue,
gentle him a little, unrein him, and then
step before the balky horse and let the other
start frst then you can take them any
where you wish A balky horse is always
high-spirited, and starts quick; half the
pull is out before the other starts first. By
close application to this rule you can make
any horse pull If horse has been badly
spoiled, you should hitch him to any empty
wagon and pull it around while on level
ground then put on a small load and in
crease it gradually, caressing it as before,
and in short time you will have good work
horse.

Remove the prisoner from the dock"
And the Judge smiled, took fresh quid
OF tobacco, and called up the next case.
But that poor old credulous clam of Fitz
Smith, be was struck cold He couldn't be,
lleve his ears. After having his homes raised
up to the highest pitch by the affectonate
language of the judge, he expected nothing
else but his discharge. For, you see, he
didn't understand that.this judicial rip enjoy
ed nothing better in the world than to get
his claws on a fellow-creature and tantalize
him after the fashion of cats with mice.
And the poor old Fitz Smith sees the vista
OF his future through the jail walls yet :;
but If he ever gets out, and his gentle friend
is not mouldering in the silent grave, he
intends to give him lecture in physical
science, and for one shall offer all the en-
couragement possible to the unincarcerated
and revengeful Fitz.
