which when completed, will add much to the
beauty and size of the buildiDg,it being the de

additional pews. A handsome gothic chapel
intended for lecture and Sunday school purposes
has recently been built by the congregation of
this church. The NJ E. Church South Is also
being renovated aud will soon appear with
tasteful and modern front in keeping with the
present style of architeeture.
Several years ago paper factory was eStab-

In Massachusetts have all been made, and

The Boston Globe suggests that New York
Is altogether too gushing In Its reception Of
Froude, Tyndall 4 Co., and that sober, stAid
lees shouting of the metropolitan club
houses. The criticism Is entirely deserved
aud timely, and II during the coming winter
one or all Of these gentlemen should honor
us with visit we trust the hint may not be
thrown away on our people. Washington, as a
general rule, Is sensible in this respect. 1t
arises probably from the fact that We are &C
cusIomed to greatness of all kinds and de-
scriptious, and that the tone Of our society Is
consequently much superior to that which Is
TO be- found In the provinces.

IT ONE MAY BELIEVE the New York Express,
a moved custom has been introduced In some
of the fashionable houses In New York, viz.
When visitor calls and finds the family
out he Is requested to write his name in
handsome Wishing book" upon which our
contemporary remarkG mot a bad idea.
Visiting cards arc seldom preserved, though
some ladies do paste them In books and in
after years they are looked over with interest.
They are useful, too. 1t Is not easy to remem-
Der the names OF all ones friends when
party or reception is intended, and the card
book bridges the difficulty. The autograph
thoughts b0tter. Whether the cAlled-upon
Is home or not the caller should write his
name" Here Is . hint which the fashionable

MR.F.N. BInD, who has been nominated
for Governor Of Massachusetts by the Lib
eral and Democratic committees OF that
StateJn place of Mr.. Sumner, made a speech
fcwseScnings ago In Boston, in which he
pretended TO giyoa history Of Mr., Summers
relation tolhe Cincinnati movement II we
may believe Bird the Massachusetts Senator
had determined toleaVe the Republican party
more than month before the Philadelphia
convention met 1t seems that he was In
correspondence with Bird on the Subject in
the latter end Of April, and that he actually
sent him some resolutions which he wished
embodied in the Cincinnati platform. This
revelation will hardly increase tho confidence
Of Republicans In Mr.. Sumner.

The Clergy in Politics

We clip the following vigorous
SENTENCES on this subject from the
n J. ObseYUer: -..7t- -f.
A minister is moi so good a pas.
tor or preicher who mingles ac.
tively in political controversies
His mind is pre- occupied by them
His spiritual nature is degraded
and clouded and soiled. The
temporal rather than the spiritual
and eternal, the seen not the un-
seen, takes hold Of his soul. lie
may not, should not, forget under
any circumstances, the personal
relations of men to things near
and tangible; and if he breaches
the whole Gospel, he will con.
strain pen TO act in the fear of
GoD when they vote, as when they
pray. But no minister was ever
an active partisan in politics, and
at the same time as good a guide
of souls as when he sought only
the, spiritual instruction of his
people.

An Eye to the Future.

j. Schofeld, the Congressman
I from this district is. somewhat
noted for his "soft soaping'
qualities. lie has an exfraor-
fdinai'y facility Of rubbing his
acquaintances down and MAX
4ing- apalaver over them. Some
time ago, after he had returned
from a visit to the Congression-
al ''refreshment room," he met
the well known Judge Black,
-et this State, who, besides be-
! ing the greatestsman, is one of
the ,plainest Speaking men in
America. The following scene
is reported to have occurred: ::
Seh6feld-Ah, Judge, glad
to sec you; how we'll you are
looking; /; you look younger
than you did fifteen years ago.
Judge Black-A fine day, Mr..
SchOfield.
Schofeld-It's a pity, Judge,
that man Of your splendid
mind should not be in the pub
lie service ; you are too great a
man to remain in the minority.
The, Judge responded with a
shrug and a grunt. l.,.
Schofeld-Judge, you had
better come over to US /; we
would handsomely buy you.
Y Judge-I1haVe thought some
thing about it,. Mr.. Schofield,
bat there is one obstacle in the
way,
'Schofeld eagerly -' All,
