There was marked and almost general empt-
ness OF pews noticeable yesterday in the churches
Of tins city, doubtless by reason or the somewhat
disaGrecable storm OF sleet and snow which pre-.
vailed, bat this lack OF constancy IN devotion
was far more observable IN the churches patronzed
by the arIs.ocracy tnan among the middle ana
poorer classes. Or course fashion was out OF the
question: and as q rule there were no attempts
made az display OF that description. Beyond q
doubt this was in thousands OF cases the reason why
attendance at divine worship dispensed wlth and
reflects IN measure the trne degree of intensity OF
religious fervor prevailing IN many hearts. The SER
vices were, with few exceptions, or the '.routnen
