TUESDAY, May 1872. NJ.
Business continued moderate and the markets
were, as general thing, without decided change.
Dry goods were dun, save in few exceptional
cases. Cotton remained dull and heavy. Flour
was quiet and unchanged. Wheat was without
decided change-there was no really good Spring
wheat on sale, the supply in store being exhausted,
while the receipts are comprised almost entirely
OF inferior Chicago, which finds market at
prices ranging from 81 SO to 81 60, and is
taken to some extent by shippers to mill with
better wheat. There are numerous foreign orders
for good wheat, which cannot be executed for want
of supplies. There was more inquiry for good
Spring wheat for forward delivery but owing to
the additional pretensions of holders very little was
done. Corn was dull and lower for both old and
new. Oats were also dull and in buyers favor.
Whiskey was also depressed and closed lower. In
provisions there was but little change and but little
done. Pork was nominaly the same as yesterday,
while lard was not salabe to any extent, save at
reduction from the extreme prices of yesterday
Groceries very firm and active for sugar. Petro-
leum shade of, and continued quiet Naval stores

HepwOrth on Gods and
Mans RetributiOnS.
Talnage on the Emigration from
Time to Eternity.

Those individuals who went to church with fresh
ened appetite for sensation yesterday, in the ex-
pectatiOn OF being treated to sermons in which
3here would be direct discussions Of the fate OF
Poster, were somewhat, although not altogether,
disappointed. In q few preliminary remarks be-
fore his discourse Or. Walker, one Of the reverend
gentlemen VINO attended the condemned man in
his last moments, referred to questions which had
been asked hun as to whether he would preach
spon that subject. Respect for the feelings OF the
bereavcd family of the deceased he SAID, was alone
snOugn to deter him from that and he thought the
pulpit was not the proper place for such illusions.
The words Of the Rev. DIR. Tying upon the same
subject will be found among the reports
given below. Mr.. Beecher, in Plymouth church,
aevotcd the greater part Of his exhOrtatiOn to an
appeal on the side OF humanity and against the
extreme penalty Of the law, taking the ground that
u there were less severe punishment crime would
becOme less common. The Rev. Mr.. Aston,
preaching on ''The Cause and Cure Of Crime' ar
Eued In direct opposition to this idea Mr.. Hep
worth ON Goods and Mans PunishmenJs" spoke
with high praise OF Governor Dixs firm conduct In
the late trial of character through which he had
passed
The bright Spring weather OF yesterday drew
forth the multitude IN immense numbers and AL Of
the churches were crowded.

DIR. Wild on COwOrkers with Goti-Was
Goodrich Murdered
DR.. Wild preached yesterday morning from First
Corinthians, III. 9--"For we are labOrers together
with God ye are Code husbandry, We are Gods
building"
The sermon was eminenty practical bearing
upon the needs OF Divine assistance IN everyday
events. Religion said the speaker, gives to
the pOssessOr motive and sentiment, not
simply local, but universal, stretching beyond
time into the impenetrable realms OF eternity.
Increasing knowledge enlarges the domain Of the
affections and adds intensity to the motive as
by the facilities of the press one becomes famili ar
with the dOlngs OF the nations. SO in spiritual re-
latiOns one becomes equally cosmopolitan in mo-
tive and sentiment There is a difference between
the Two. Motive belongs to the intellect, senti
ment to the affections: and a pure sentiment is
made so by a noble motive We, as a community,
have been alternating between compassion and
justice during the past week. Falude to
THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF GOODRICH.
When read the report my first idea was that the
deceased had committed suicide and my heart
ached Tor the man who had been so distressed and
gOaded that death was preferable to life But from
later accounts and incidents therein related con-
Guided he was wilfully murdered and justice de-
mands the life Of the assasin-be ii man or woman.
This feeling of vengeance may be opposed to Gods
teachings, but 1t Is atural in the first knowledge
we have OF crime" Or. Wild expressed his con-
victon that the assassin was a woman, who for
some domestic cause had perpetrated the deed.

CHURCH OF DUB SAVIOR.

A Lost Soul-Kind Words About Foster
Sermon by Rev. j. NJ. Pullman.
The Rev. J. M. Pullman preached last night in
Trenor's Lyric Hall on "A Lost Soul" lie took his
text from the Lamentations, ILL., 81 1.-THE Lord will
not cast OF forever" He said he denied the
theory that the 'lost soul" was one on which the
Lord would innict all his infinite resources OF
torment. A great many people could not
help being in condition Of degrade
tion but although the attention OF most
churches was directed TO low places OF misery for
unsaved souls, he would ask them TO look to high
places for such souls. He would seek them In
those ranks of society where the conditions were
favorable for q higher and better life. He had
heard people speak about the soul Of the poor I'M
fortunate man that was lost last week. He did not
think this was lost soul. When q man was lost
to the higher law he was found by the retributive
laws OF God. This very penalty was ameans or res
toration. The divine spark in the human soul could
never be entirely extinguished. A soul exposed
this was condition which no human soul was
ever placed In. The phrase, IAN endlessly lost
SOUL" could not be found in the Bible; but they
had assurances, on the contrary, that the Saviour
had mercy and love for all human sin. finite
man could not commit an infinite offence. The
Lord had never lost an atom OF his creation and
he could not lose q human soul. He asked them to
picture the loving sympathetic soul gazing from
heaven at another soul suffering the endless tor
ments Of hell. God was Just and powerful and
these attributes worked under His infinite love-
He did not believe that any soul could maintain its
defiant attitude against the divine love.

LYRIC HALL.

The Enigma Of Life, "How to Love Your
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. by the Rev. o. b.
Frothingham.
Springs fresh, bright face and warm, welcoming
smile called out the churchgoers and fashionables
in large numbers yesterday morning At Lyric
Hall, between Forty first and Forty-second Streets
the attendance was large as 1t always is. Mr..
Frothingham's discourse was based upon the words
OF Christ, ''Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self.r 1t Is related OF Jesus the began) that on
one occasion, being accosted by man and asked
the way to eternal love, he replied, hOu shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul" And.
acting upon this principle, you will find the eter-
nal love. To know how to love every man is some
thing very difficult to find out. II Is the mystery Of
mysteries, the enigma OF life. There is no question
in theology that compares with 1t. II I'VE look at
this matter we find there
THREE WAYS or TESTING LOVE
for q human being-love OF soul, love OF body and
love Of qualities The love Of the soul Is the
OF the soul from the Judgment to come II consists
in making the connection with God strong; there
fore all these churches and preachers This love
OF soul ia something which one understands but
no social meaning at all. II has nothing to do with
want or crime or SIM 1t has nothing to dc with the
problem OF pauperism or REFORM II there were no
hereafter 1t would have no significance. Leave out
evangelical theology, with the scheme for the
future and this love OF soul will be nothing. The
love OF soul being given up
THE LOVE OF BODY
claims attention: Whether we have soul or not
pain Is first OF all physical. Hunger heat, cold,
vice, poverty and crime make the body suffer. Love
has regard to the body. II means q roof for the
unfortunate, fire for the cold and food for the
hungry. The love OF man Is tie love of his body,
and 1t consists in diminishing his misery. Pain is
the ugly thing that all people hate. The New Tes-
lament says ''There shall he no more pain" Love
means money, soup houses, asylums AID places OF
refuge. This kind OF love shows itself towards
criminals in trying to make their fate as easy as
possible. We see IL in the demand that all prisons
shall be conducted upon kind principles. This
dread OF INJECTING pain is at the bottom OF the
claims against
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Men would rather be imprisoned for life than
suffer the agony OF death by the axe or halter.
They would give up everything rather than under
20 the intense agony OF those dreadful seconds.
Can we pity wretched men and women too much
Why not dismiss them IN a trance Is this love OF
body the love OF man The love OF manhood and
the love OF qualities the test OF life. IL is not
the fiction OF the soul or the sensations OF the
body that makes the man. II is quality.
