THr Pass. -Inthe Methodist Bishop

THE PRfss. i'm the Methodist Bishops
address yesterday, they thus referred to
the power of the press: a @
The literature of the church will not
be overlooked by you. We cannot con-
sent to surrender to others the vast
power and influence welded by the
press; no church can safely do so: In
proportion to the potency of this infiu-
ence is the solemn obligation resting on
us to guard and guide the press. 1t must
maintain high religious tone-neither
subsidized by wealth or power, nor per
verified by ambition to partisan and po-
litical purposes. 1t should aim steadily
at conserving the conneetionalism of the
church; and be committed 20 trustworthy
and competent men who love the whole
church too well to put in peril her unity
and peace. We should hail with rapture
the day that saw frst-class religious
and literary newspaper in every Metho-
dist family, and our standard works in
every library, 1i6sii vs.,

the subject Of family religion and the
Christian training Of children, Its inn
portance cannot be oyer-estimated.
Regular family worship, morning and
night, accompanied with the consecutive
reading Of the Scriptures is SO morally
fit, reasonable and salutary, that to us
it seems strange that the heads of Chris
tan families can feel guiltless in neg
lecting It. While we rejoice in the
greatly increased interest exhibited in
behalf of Sunday-schools, we are sure
that there can be no substitute for reig-
ious training in the. family The inn
press, whether for good or evil, made by
family instruction and example is indel-

domestic and patriarchal church; the
training-school of the kingdom of Christ;

the kingdom above. ai,ts4au assss

AMEs' CIRCUS AND MESAGERfE. This
wonderful exhibition was crowded last
night, and is likely to be in the same
happy fix tonight A pleasing feature
was the order which prevailed among
such a mass of beings and the elegant
manner in which the performances were
presented. The performance Of Sig
norita Ella Eugene in the cages of the
lions, tigers, leopards and bears is I'M
doubtedly the most thrillingly. attractive
exhibition Of female intrepidity ever wit
messed by the public. We have seen
Driesbach, Van Amburgh, and other
famed nion tanners en- the dens of
trained animals, but neither Of
them seemed to have so perfect
control over the savage mons
tiers as this little girl The Millson
brothers are superior gymnasts. They
perform several new and startling feats,
never attempted by the more prominent
Of the gymnastic school, viz: sports OF
Atlas, or revolving globes. -Four are

Spiral Mountain, anewand daring ascen-
sion from the ground TO the roof Of the

opera; while in the principal cities OF

DAKoING.-The Bishops of the Metho-

Hear what they said yesterday;
Indulgence in worldly and fashionable
diversions is another great enemy OF
earnest piety which is invading the
church, and threatening to estrange our
children from us. Dancing, in particu-
lar, whatever plausible excuses may be
pleaded for il, is destructive to the
growth, not to say the very existence OF
spiritual religion in those who delight to
indulge in it. Generally, it is a species
of 4 reveling condemned and forbidden
by the word Of God; and its tendency is
