Some days ago the Board of Trade
Of Cincinnati, looking to a line of
transportation for their commerce
south. appointed 8 Committee to IS
ertain the practicabiliry of shipping
via the Evansville, Henderson q
Nashville Railroad, from Henderson
10 Nashville. &c. Some of the officers
of the e. I'll. & n. r. r. inform Us
that they can successfully compete for
the Cincinnati trade. Freight can
and will be shipped from Cincinnati
via Indianapolis and Vineennes to
Evansville, thence via the IL. Ell. & n
r.. Ii. to Nashville and points south of
that place. They claim that their
lineihas great advantages over the road
South via Rockport aud Greensboro,
ifa road should ever be built on that
line, which was much talked OF il
' C:neinnati six or eight months ago.
The E.. H. & n. r. r. insists that
they can, aud expect to furnish Gin
cinnati with an outlet for her business
south. Let Cincinnati look in thii
direction for way to reach the cen
tral south. It appears TO Us feasibls
and practicable. We will be glad II
see relief rendered Cincinnati through
the e., Fl. Il n. R.R. 1t may resul
in the solution Of vexed questions, ant
be . remedy against snnoyances ant

river routes, two railroad routes from
Cincinnati to Evansville and Nash

Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad

A SUNDAY CAUsERIE.

Lecture by Miss Kate Fields on Charles
Dickens at the Filth Avenue Theatre.
Miss Kate Field last night delivered lecture at
the Fifth Avenue theatre on Charles Dickens There
was brilliant and fashionable audience. and these
Sunday entertainments Will doubtless soon become
q recognized feature Of New York life. Miss
Kate Field IS certainly eminently well
qualified TO lead the van In this bold on
slaught upon sabbatarian prejudices. She is
an immense improvement upon the accepted ideal
OF the lady lecturer. In place Of being dc.matic
coarse and disagreeabe-an intellectual virago-she
chats pleasantly along IN vein that constantly re-
minds the hearer that he Is listening TO beautiful,
accomplished and charming lady. Indeed, the en-
tertanment resembles more the sparkling gossip of
drawing room tste-d-tete than the hard logic and
instructive duness OF the lecture hall. OF course
Miss Field Ia an enthusiastic admirer OF the great
novelist. She introduced her opinions by the fol-
lowing spirited defence or Sunday lecturing:-"The
better the day, the better the deed" declares the
OLD believe this firmly, if the deed be honest,
and it seems to me eminently dttmg that the man
who did SO much to make every day beautiful with
good cheer should be the subject OF sabbath
discourse, especially OF discourse from

JERSEY CITY CHURCHES.
GRACE CHURCH (EPisCoPaL).

Sermon by the I1ev. Mr.. Rice ON the judy
ment After Death-The Christians Reply 10
the Atheist.
In Grace church, Jersey City, the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Rice. preached to an unusually large congregation
taking his text from ST. Paul-'Tt is appointed
to all men once to die, and after that the
judgment" In regard 20 the future life three
classes OF opinions have Obtained. The atheist, In
the first place. rejects the Scriptures and the doctrine
OF future rewards and punshments. He says there
is no God and consequently there can be no punish
ment. One thing
THE ATHEIST CANNOT DENY.
and that is that man lives here. Let us inquire of
the atheist whether the same cause which
made us live here cannot make us live
hereafter. We pass through various stages
OF lfe from the cradle to the grave, without losing
our individuality. Granting all that the atheist may
say, this one fact remains, that
IT REQUIRED GREAT POWER
to create us and maintain US in this life; and
cannot the same power preserve us here
after9 If we credit the atheists opinion,
has either the ,ndlsposton or the inability to give
us lie hereafter In other words the power winch
creates cannot destroy. Science teaches US that
there is not substance in nature which can be an
nihilated. Yet the atheist argues that man will be
annlhiated when this lie ceases. 1t is appointed
for men once to die, but
NOT TO BE ANNIHnATED.
Even atheism offers US no refuge from The Judgment
to come. We can see no reason to 1oubt that after
death sins shall surely lind out and tnat in the
next life, as in this the way OF the transgressor is
hard. Can you show me any reason why that which
Is conessedy administered here Will not be admins
tered hereafters II may be hard TO have
THE SINS OF THIS LIFE
brought up against us hereafter; but II In this
world imperfect as Is our state therein. we have
laws and justice, Is It rational to assume that we
shall have no justice hereafer2 The text settles the
question when the Judgment VIII take place
namely. alter death. Even though there Should not
be another word in the Scriptures support Of this
doctrine the text have quoted
SETTLES 1T FOREVER.
When you are on the bed OF death and you ask
that the Scriptures be read for you you will hear the
words, at is appointed for men once to die, and
after that-mark you the words-after that the judg-
ment.n Various constructions have been put this
text, but cannot see the shadow of proof that
shall not certainly have the Judgment after death.
cannot express either doubt or surprise at this
declaration Of Judgment to come, inasmuch as 1t Is
ONLY AN ANALOGY
to that system OF government which we possess
here below. The summer gives place to the winter.
Only few short months intervene between the
period when nature is IN Its bloom and the dreary
season Of inh0spitable winter. This transition
ought to be Just Incomprehensible to the atheist
as our passage from this life to future state.
