his preaching, has become insane The
first symptoms of his malady. says cor
RESPONDENT, were observable about year
ago, during a charity sermon IN the
church of St. Roch for the benefit of the
Polish exiles, when the congregation were
painfully struck by the extraordinary ex-
element of his manner. His advent ser
mons at the Madeleine some eight years
ago attracted numerous crowds. and his
first charity sermon produced l4,000f
exclusive of the rings and jewels which
ladies tore off in moment Of enthusiasm
and threw into the velvet bag of the col
lectors. He promised to equal, if not
surpass, Lacordaire. Some short time

Order, owing, it was said, to SOME mis-
understanding with his Superior, and
antered the ranks Of the secular clergy.
He is not more than thirty-six years old.

The work is just what its title page i'm
ports it to be, book to lead the
thoughts of the devout, daily, in the
contemplation of great truths, for the
regulation of human action and thence
to the high and sacred duty aud privi-
lege of spiritual communion with the
Most High. Each daily commentary is
written in the peculiar, forcible, lively

Mr.. EDITOR 1T was my privilege
Sabbath afternoon to be present at the
anniversary of the Centre street Mission
Sabbath School, and listen to the sing
ing by the children both in German and
Enghsh-and to the addresses by DIR.
Miller, Mr. Doe and Rev. Mr. Oberlee,
the minister of the German Methodist
church, the latter of whom spoke in the
German language which most of the
children understand and speak fuently.
From the report of the Superintendent,
I gathered the following facts The
children attend the school of the Ger
man Methodist Church in the morning,
when the exercises are exclusively in
the German language. In the after
noon Union Mission School is held
not connected with any particular
church or denomination, but all who
love to labor for Christ, are invited to
engage in the good work These teach
ers not having any church or churches
to ask for pecuniary assistance have by
their own efforts raised during the past
year about $50 dollars, with
which they have purchased Cabinet
Organ, books, papers, &c. The num-
Der of scholars is nearly one hundred,
and teachers sixteen, with an average
attendance of both of about so. The
speakers complimented the school on
their good behavior and intent mani
tested by the children, which, spoke
well for the faithfulness of the teachers.
A class of the larger girls sang the piece
in the Sabbath School, entitled the Or
phan, with much effect, accompanied by
their teacher, Miss M. Pierson, on the
organ. cordially commend this faith
full band of laborers, with the children,
of the school, to the sympathies and
prayers of christians = believing that
their transformations and faithful labors
will not be without rich reward
