!" Religions Meu-nf-War.

The Independent, Methodist, Erange-
list, Examiner, and other quasi religious
journals, we observe, are about as deep
in the political pool as they used TO be
in the old John Brown and Abe Lincoln
crusade. One of them tells us, with
characteristic profanity, that God and
Liberty are on one side, and the Devil
and Democracy on the other. Another
has the GOODNESS TO say that the interests
of humanity demand the election of
Gen. Grant--a man whose wanton waste
of human life is enough to make poor
humanity weep. Others advance argu.
ments equally as absurd, and equally the
offspring of what would seem TO be
simply a blind fanatical ignorance.
Another thing we observe is, that in
journals of this description there are con-
slant alarm about the rapid progress of
"Romanism." They think that rand
progress is dreadful thing, and that if
it is not somehow arrested, we she'll all
be under the doUiinion of the Pope be.

with this conviction, one of these writer's
desires to give notice (including the ex-
clsmation points,

The Fatal Effects of the Heat in New York.

The Fatal Effects Of the Heat in New York.
The New York World of the 18th inst.
saws that from Sunday to Thursday, up
10 noon of the latter, there were seven
hundred and forty-seven deaths in New
York. OF these it is known that over
three hundred we're caused by the heat.
In connection with this, the World
makes the following reference to the
scenes at the Morgue, or dead house, in
New York:
The Morgue, or dead house, in Twenty
sixth street, is study for painter of
realistic scenes. During these fatally
hot days collins are brought in here and
are packed like sardines il box. A
brace of coroners are in attendance all
day and late at night watching for the
arrival of bodies blasted by the burning
heat of the MONDAY sun. These
redly painted pine boxes heaped up
in rank profusion in tiers, with hand
iul of clotted and Shiny hair, putrid toe
or decomposing finger sticking out of
the interstices, or where the lids are
raised little, are enough to make man
sick at heart. There are young children,
old men, young girls, all ages, sexes and
qualities here, fostering and rotting in
these old red boxes; and the warden
himself believes that if the present NOR.
tally continues he may, possibly, from
overwork, fall in a pine box. During
the day large numbers of people visit
the Morgue, in dread uncertainty as
to the fate of friends and rela-
tions, and the sickening anguish
depicted on some of the women's faces,
when a body is recognized, is sure to
haunt bystander fer life. The coroners
who are present take the thing as a mat
ter of course; they are used to it, and
can bear up bravely; but even coroner
may well be weak, and have full heart
with looking at these cart loads Of
rotting humanity which are rolling
into this narrow space every hour of
the long day, and equally dismal,
night. Nearly one hundred bodies
have been brought in here this eek, and
the cry is still they come, increasing
daily,in numbers. The ma; ority Of the
bodies when brought to the morgue are
unfit for Identification from their utter
decomposition and ghastliness. Yester.
day but four bodies were exposed to view
on the marble slabs, as the features were
still intact to the observers.

THE HOT SEASON.

80 - :"
Tho folks that on the 6,st Of May
Wore under coats and hose,
Began to say. the frat Of June, %,
"Good Lord how hot II growsl"
At last two Fahrcnheits blew up,
And killed two children small.
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with its ball.
Now all day long. the locusts' song
Among the leahess trees, .f..i
Three new hotels warped inside out.
Their pumps could only wheere;
And ripe old wine that twenty years
Had cobwebbcd DER in vain
Came speuting through the rotten casks
Like Joly's best champagnel
PLUMP mon Of morn nes ordered tights.
But ere the scorching moons,
Their candle molds had grown as loose
As Cossack pantaloonsi
The dogs ran mad-men could not try
II water they would choose;
A horse fell dead-ho only left
Four red-hot. rusty shoes.
But soon .hs people could not bear
The slightest hint Of lie;
Allusions 10 caloric drew
A food Of savage IRE;
The leaves on heat~Wcre all torn out
From every book at school.
And many blacks yards kicked and caned
Because they said Keep cool"
The gaslight companies were mobbed,
The bakers all were shot;
The penny press began TO talk
0flynching Doctor Mott;
And all about the warehouse steps
We're angry men in droves,
Crashing and splintering through the doors,
To smash the patent stsves.
The abolition men and maids
Were tanned 10 such hue
You scarce could tell them from their friends
Unless their eyes were blue;
And, when left, society
Had burst its ancient guards,
And Brattle street and Temple Place
Were interchanging cards. ~
