During the Franco-Prussian war greai deal
of fun was poked at the New Jersey Editor who
read that 'sBazaine has moved twenty kilome-
tres out of Metz" He thereupon sat down and
wrote an editorial, in which he was delighted
to hear that all the kilometres had been remov-
ed, and that the innocent people of Metz were
no longer endangered by the presence of those
deyilish engines of war-sleeping upon volca-
no, as it were. And then he went on to describe
some experiments made with kilometres in the
Grimea, in which one of them exploded,
and blew frigate out of the water.

How TO QUIET BABY.--A farmer, who
had passed innumerable sleepless nights, i'm
mortalized himself by discovering method of
keeping babies quiet. The mode Of operation
is as follows; As soon as the squaller wakes,
sit it up, propped by pillow, if it cannot sit
alone then smear its fingers with thick treacle;
then put, ,halfa dozen feathers into its hands,
and il will sit and pick the feathers from one
hand to the other until II drops asleep. As
soon as it wakes again, treaele and more feath-
crs and in place of the nerve-astounding yells,
there will be silence and enjoyment unspealSable

THE CUSTOM OF TREATING.--f l could
pursuade all young people, (says Mr.. Thomas
K. Beecher,) never to treat each other, or be
treated, think onehalf OF the danger from
our strong drink would be gone. Ii cannot
get you to sign the total abstinence pledge,
binding until you are thirty-iiye, l would be
glad TO have you promise three things First,
never drink on the sly alone; second, never
to drink socially, treating or being treated /;
third, when YOU drink, do it openly, and in the
presence of some man or woman whom you
respect. Now, boys, ifyou wish to be gener-
Gus and treat each other why not select some
other shop beside the liquor shop? Suppose, as
you go by the post-otlice, you say, "Come,
boys, come in and have some stamps" These
stamps will do your friends Il real good, aud
4 will cost you no more than drinks all round.
Orgoi by the tailors store and say, "Boys, come
| in and take box Of collars" Walk up to the
( counter, free and generous, and say, "What
style will you havep" Why not treat to collars
as well as treat to drinks? Or go by the con-
fcctioner's and propose chocolate drops al
round. Orsay, "Boys take newspaper" q
say, iaI'll stand a jack-knife all round" How
does it happen that we have fallen into a habi
almost compulsory, Of social drinking? Yo

When Burke made one of his famous attacks
upon the crown civil list, he was several times
noisiy interrupted by somebody, who, ocenpy-
ing an official position in the household, seemed
to think himself special guardian of royalty
This oflicious person kept reminding the orator
every now and then, with vehement interjec-
tions, of his duty to the King. AT last Burke
paused in the flow of his speech, and declared
that he perfectly understood it to be his duty to
honor the King, but he was not thereby con
strained ito honor the Kings man-seryant, his
maid-servant, his OK, andp-fixing his eyes up
on the obnoxious intrider-shis ass"

Mr.. Stowe, a celebrated Glasgow teacher, in
speaking of the cOeducation of the sexes, uses
tile following language "The youth of both
sexes of our Scottish peasantry have been edu-
Gated together; and, as whole, the Scotch are
the most moral people on the earth. Education
in England is given separately, and we have
never heard from practical men that any bene-
fit has arisen from the arrangement, The
I separation of the sexes has been found to be
f, injurious. The girls morally elevate the boys
! and the boys intellectually elevate the girls.
But, more than this, girls are morally elevated
by the presence Of boys, and boys are also in
tellectually elevated by the presence of girls
i Girls brought up with boys are more positively
moral, and boys brought up in school with the
girls are more positively intellectual, by the
softenng influence Of the female claracier."-

THE PROGRESS OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
IN DELAwARE.-Th following extract is from
synopsis Of Bishop Lees annual address at the
late Convention at Newark, as published iii
Erery Euening The Bishop said that he was
reminded of the fact when delivering his adj
dress that another decade of official duty has
been completed. He looked back upon the
time when the Diocese contained but three
self sustaining congregations, and but four
actively employed clergymen, when many of
the churches were desolate and ruinous, when
there was but a solitary Rectory, and all the
offerings for missionary and charitable purposes,
would not approach in amount what is now
given in single Parishes. The Bishop said that
there were reported in 1871, about $50 commu-
nicanrs, in 1851, lia; in 1861, 1917; in 1871,
1910, The Bishop said he felt cheered at the
present prospect that while the population Of
the State had increased 10 per cent, the growth
ofour church has exceeded 4j0 per cent. The
Bishop said that but a few years since evidence
of decline were apparent, but now how changed
| is the present aspect, and how many cheering
and hopeful indications are manifested.

BAPTISM OF Mrs. SMILEY. Y.-The New YorL,
Observer states that Mrs. Sarah E. Smiley, the
Quakeress preacher who has occupied several
pllplts OF different denominations within the
| last few months, was baptised by immersion, in
Brooklyn, on Sunday evening, 9th ult. Rev.
Mr.. Pentecost, of the Hanson Place Baptist
Church, performed the ceremony. Afterpreaeh,
ing sermon from the text, Eph. v, s 25-27---
s.Hnsbands love your wives,N &c.--he stated
that Miss Smiley felt it her duty TO make some
explanation Of the step she was about to take
and that she then would be heard
Miss Smiley, who still wore the plain Quaker
dress, said she was converted twenty years ago.
and then Joined herselftothe Society of Friends.
Ayear ago she experienced new sense OF
adoption that seemed TO draw her into a new
and closer relation to Christ. Six years aoo
She was regularly ordained AS preacher by the
Society Of Eriendss she Jlea 5~satasl, iltl,an
With aSprittlal baptism, sand spiritual Lords
Supper. But she had at times felt that this was
not satisfactory. A year ago, particularly, she
was impressed with the desire to be baptised,
but she was unable to see how she could satisfy
the desire, and retain her position. She felt
that she was called to preach the Gospel. 1t
was her duty to preach. The Society of Friends
gave her her commission to preach. Should
She renounce her relations with that Society
could she still preach? This question had agi-
tated her sorely. But at last she had conclud-
ed that IL was the Lords work and lie was able
TO arrange it. Therefore, a week ago she had
written letter resigning her connection with
the Society of Friends She was now intending
to join no other Society. She desired fellow
ship with all Christian Churches, and consid-
cred herselfas entering the Church Universal.
This step, she claimed, was not the beginning
of her Christian lfa but the completion OF her
conservation to Christ. 44gs
MIR. Pentecost, before administering the orli-
nance, said he did not consider that Mrs Smiley
became d member ofthe Baptist Chnrch by re-
ceiving baptism at his hands. The ordinances,
nd said, was not administered by the authority
of the Church of which he was pastor, but on
his own authority as a minister Of the Universal
Churcn. He then immersed her, pronouncing
these words 8fN
Sarah E. Smiley, my Sister, upon profession
of thy faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in
obedience to His command as the first Head of
the Church, baptize thee in the name of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.'

THE DANGEROUS DIsTKlCTs'' OF
LONDON.

Colonel Higgioson, who is now 60
journing in London, was very much
disappointed in the morality Of that
city; that is, he found it SO much
better than he expected-so says
Mr.. Conway. Having always read
and heard of the dangerous dis.
trict" of London, where no respect

front, at least, if not absolute assault,
he, Yankee like, sought them cut and
Investigated them for himself: He
walked alone throug b "Seven Dials,"
but was unnoticed although dressed
in irIeproachab'e black mex. he tried
st. Giles, with the corner OF his
pocket handkerchief temptingly dis

cts unpicked, having encountered
nothiog more formidable than "some
old women peeriug At him over rows
of dilapidated shoes which they pro-
fess to sell, and which are generally
supposed to have all been taken by
force off the waytarers." All Of
which rather disgusted the Colonel.
But Mr.. Conway, who knows Lon

safe passage through these places, in
the military whiskers and independent
bearing of the New Englander, which
deceived the inhabitants. into think.

GOD IN NATURE.

No one has better opportunity Of
witnessing the wonderful workings of
God in the wide field of nature than
the farmer. His occupation brings
him every day in full view of them.
He is familiar with the progressive de-
velopment Of the young plant, and ths
matured beauty of its full growth.
He is we'll acquainted with the SUM-
shine and the shadow, the softly fall
ing dew and the heavy rain, the gen.
tie breeze and the rushing tempest.
Some from their very familiarity with
these evidences of divine wisdom, lose
all interest in them with little mo1e
regard than the beasts that perish.
O,hers, indeed, recognizing the hand
of God, look en- its movements with
awe and dread-but go no further.
But it is only the Christian that can
see in everything the hand Of "a father.
Other men may wonder and admire !;
te can love and praise. Everywhere
around he sees the fingers ef God, and
he rejoices to know that God is
his friend and when, ia the tempest
or thunderstorm mems hearts are fail
ing them for fear, he can be in peace,
knowing that he is a son Of Him
whom the winds and the seas obey.
Truly, the Christian farmer possesses
greater pleasure and more exquisite
joys than other men have any idea
Of, aud if they have not experienced
these, they have never met true hap.

CAPITAL VS.. LABOR.
From the Pittsbu1g Di.patch.

From the Pittsbu1g Dispatch.
Now that the working men have sue
cumbed in hopeless fight against cap
ital, it is stated that the employers arc
forming combinations which are esteem
cd sufficiently strong to resist all fur
ther enoroachments Of labor. Every
thinking person has for years foreseen
that this would be the inevitable re.
suit of the petty tyrannies Of trades
uuionism, but the leaders of the latter
shut their ears against even the kind
liest warnings. Still, now that the
working IN en- are defeated it would be
infinitely more deplorablo were the
capitalists to carry to excess the bane-
full principle that has originated with
labor. On the contrary, their noblest
victory would rather be to make, i'm
mediatcly, all possible concessions to
the vanquished, and show them that
henceforvard not money on the ono
hand nor brute force on the other
shall sit 10 judgment upon grievances
but kindly, sympathetic sense Of
Justice. American mechanics ought
not-must not-be mere drudges
and it is not beyond belief that the
time is near at hand when this fact
will be generally recognized.
