BREAKING THE BONDS.

PuritNnism Wounded I'm the House of It's
Friends-A Boston Cleric ON Theatres aud
Dancing.
The Rev. J. L. Hatch lectured in the Olympic
Theatre, Boston, on Sunday evening last, on
THE THEATRE AS MEANS OF GRACE"
The report of his address in the Boston Herald
Gays he prefaced his remarks by a selection
from the writings of Hood, denouncing the
practice of some persons of donning the cloak
of religion to cover their hidden deformites,
and of assuming to feel holy horror of indulg-
ing any of the propensities of human nature.
The speaker then contrasted the
PRINCIPLES OF TRUE AND FALSE RELIGION.
The former was discriminating, proving all
things, and holding fast to that which was good.
The latter was overbearing and dogmatic. The
former favored a full and fair encounter between
truth and error, and "who ever knew the truth
to be put to the worst 2" The theatre and the
dance have always been put under the ecclesi-
astical ban, and have received the severest cen
sure of rigid moralists. But
HUMAN NATURE CANNOT BE SUPPRESSED.
Men clothed in gown and bands. or dressed in
little brief authority" which they wear with
as much pride and pomposity as any fop his
fanciful toggery, Ray strive with severe counte-
nance and rigid, Puritanic restrictions to subdue
think they have conquered, and have got il safe
under their thumb, up il jumps
LIKE A JACK-IN-A-Box,
full of life and vigor to their great fright or at
least to their extreme displeasure and disgust
The speaker claimed that many of the worst
and most immoral people he had ever known
had been those who never went to the theatre.
but considered 1t a stepping-stone to hell; while
very many of the best men and women in the
world have been those who occasionally attend
the theatre and regard its influence,
AS FAVORABLE TO GOOD MORALS.
He (Hatch) practsed as he preached and in the
instruction of his little daughter brought her to
the theatre and had her taught to dance at home.
The contrary ground had been taken by very
able and sincere men, but in most cases these
grounds were not the result of investigation and
personal knowledge, but were taken from hear
most able exponents of these principIes. none
other than Henry Ward Beecher, was like an
owl in an ivy bush, reading lecture to a lynx
on the sin of sharp-sightedness The lecture
was very well received by the audience and
was frequently applauded

FINANCIAL FAILURE.
Collapse of a Prominent Broker Of Will
mingtOn.

Collapse of a Prominent Broker of will
mingtOn.
The Wilmington (Del.) Commercial Of last
evening says:-
1t has been well known in financial circles for
some time that Mr.. A. r. Woolston, promi-
nent broker and real estate agent OF this city,
was not able to promptly meet his engage
ments. His affairs have now reached such
condition as to be no improper subject tor
newspaper statement.
Mr. Woolston's failure is for large amount,
his liabilities being stated as high as $4,000,
which will be much in excess of all that can be
realized from his assets. One of the most un-
fortunate features of the case is that his father
ln.law. a gentleman much respected in the COM
munitv. who had acquired a competency after
an active business life, is so involved by en-
dOrsements for Mr.. WOolstOn as to be obliged
TO make an assignment for the benefit OF his
creditors. Other sums owing by Mr.. Woolston
are to persons in moderate circumstances, who
can i'll affordy the loss.
The causes of Mr.. WOOlstons failure are
stated to be imprudent speculations and the
absorption of capital in extensive building ope-
ratiOns. He erected quite number of houses
duTiBg the past year. In his capacity as broker
be was correspondent here for Henry CleWs a.
Co., of New York, and agent for the National
Life Insurance Company.

Albans The Holy Eucharist was celebrated by
the Rev. DR. Brown. sermon was preached
by the Rev. j. II. Bradley, the pastor of the
church.
After attending to the services of the day he
said that owing to the distractions put forth by
the bishops of the Church the Holy Eucharist
could not be performed in its true and original
style. However, although they would not admit
of the celebration of the true Eueharistic SER
vice, the hearts of the people were the same,
and no restriction could be placed upon their
thoughts by law or orders. A service will also
take place this eyening.-N. y. Post, last eveR-
