THE RELATIONS OF CLE:RGYMEN
TO WOMEN.

Recent events have given rise to a
fresh discussion of the relations Of
clergymen to women, some of which
have been wise and some widely 9TH
erwise. 1t is supposed by many that
the pastor is a man peculiarly sub
jected to temptations to unchaste
Conversation" with the female mem
bers Of his flock. It is undoubtedly
and delightfully."- true that popular
preacher is the object Of genuine af-
fection and admiration to the women
who sit under his ministry. A true
woman respects brains and COM
manding masculine nature; but if
there is any one thing which she
naturally chooses to hide from her
pastor it is her own temptations-if
she has any-to illicit qualifications
She naturally desires to appear we'll
to him upon his own ground Of Chris
tian purity. To exposeherself to his
contempt or condemnation would be
forbidden by all her pretentions, pro-
fessions, and natural instincts. A bad
woman might undertake to atone for,
or to cover up, her outside peccadillos
by the most friendly and considerate
treatment of her pastor, but she would
not naturally take him for her vic
tim. 1t is precisely with this man
that she wis hes to appear at her best.
Any man with the slightest knowl-
edge Of human nature can see that
her selfish as we'll as her Christian in
terests are against any exhibitions Of
immodest and unchaste desires in the
presence of her spiritual teacher.
AS a class, the Christian ministers
of the country are the purest men we
have. We believe they average bet
ter than the Apostles did at the first.
Jesus, in his little company Of twelve,
found one that was a devil. The
world has improved until, we believe,
there is not more than one devil in a
hundred. In any scandal connected
with the name Of clergyman and a
female member of his flock, the prob
abilities are all and always in favor Of
innocence. The man of the world who
keeps his mistress, the sensualist who
does not believe in the purity Of any
man, the great community Of scamps
and scalawags> n-o always ready to
believe anything rejecting upon a
clergyman's chastity. 1t only re-
mains for clergymen themselves to be
careful to avoid the appearance of
evil. Nothing can be more sure and
terrible than their punishment when
guilty of prostituting their Office, and
nothing is so valuable to them as an
unsullied name. To preserve this, no
painstaking can be too fatiguing, no
selfdenial too expensive, no wedding
out Of all untoward associations too
exacting-Dr. j. G. Holland, in Scrib-
7ler,

The grasshopper: crop for next
year begins to look rather discourage
ing in this region. The, seed which
was put in so abundantly, and with
such great care, seems to have been
either q very poor article, or else put
in too early. Considerable Of it has
actually "come up" this fall, and all
the remainder oft is badly sprouted,

This will be g. terrible calamity-to

"A telcgraphers' newspaper,
speaking of the employment of women
as operators, says that their power is
already felt in the higher style of con-
versation between male operators over
the wires. Low jests and vulgarity
have grown less frequent, and an in
timation that there is a female ope-
rator on circuit puts quietut on
the most virulent Of blasphemers.i ~

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK AND
BROOKLYN.

BROOhLYN.
From the Ncw York Sun.
While the skies are yet serene the
workshop doors are haunted by care
worn faces seeking vainly for work.
We are told that much suffering ex-
lists. If it be so now, before the leaves
have fallen, how are the working peo-
pie to 60 through the winter' Du-
ring the stringency which prevailed
after the panic last year, many we're
discharged; but the previous years
having been reasonably, prosperous
their small savings afforded support
until spring, when better times were
hoped for. But the spring came and
went; the summer has passed; already
the hill-sides are blazing with the fires
of autumn, and the ranks Of the un-
employed are fuller than ever. Their
little fund is expended and their
services are not IN demand. How are
they to live?
From, the Philadelphia Ledger, Oct. 10.
Real estate in Brooklyn, as hereto
fore stated, is hard to sell at any price
just now. Example: An auction
sale of lots on Ninth avenue, opposite
Prospect Park, was held yesterday
The prices bid were so low that the
owners generally withdrew the prop
erty, and pocketed their losses for
auctioneers' fees. One party however
was obliged to sell two lots, for which
four years ago he paid $4,000 each.
Since that time he has also paid for
taxes, assessments, &C., $4,000 more,
making their cost just $4,000 esch.
The best bid he could get for them on
this occasion was $4,000 each, and
this he accepted-a depreciation Of
just one-half.

A BALLOON DISASTER.
From the San FsDneiseo Chronicle.

l
From the San F+Dneisco Chronicle.
Yesterday afternoon Gruet Buislay,
a professional gymnast and. member
Of the Buislay troupe, made an ascen-
sion from Woodward's Gardens in. a
hot air ballon at 4 o'clock, and in
making the descent about one hour
later, was dashed against the rocks of
Bernal Heights and injured tosucb an
extent that his recovery is doubtful,
and it is feared that he will never be
able to resume the pursuit of his pro-
fession.
The ascent was made at o'clock,
and was probably the finest and
quickest ever made upon the coast.
Mr.: Buislay went through his usual
performance at the Pavilion, and it
being the farewell benefit of the Buis-
lay family previous to their depart
ure for Mexico, the place was crowded
to its fullest capacity. After the per-
formance the balloon was infated.and
a dog and parachute attached. At a
given signal the rope was cut, and
| the ballon shot like rocket in the
| air, reaching an altitude of about
| 1000 feet in a few seconds, when,
seized by fierce blast of wind, it was
borne toward the Potrero, and inside
of half 9 minute was full mile from
the starting place. 1t soon reached
an elevation of 1000 feet, when the
parachute was released, and the dog
f1osted safely to the ground, while the
balloon foated for about fifteen min
utes motionlees in the air.
At about quarter to 5 cold cur
rent of air was reached, and under its
influence the balloon began slowly to
descend. By 5 o'clock it was directly
over Bernal Heights, when it began
to fall rapidly and struck with con-
siderable force. Caught by q stiff
breeze, it was dragged over the rocks
with great violence. Here M. Buis-
lay lost entire control of his balloon,
and the repeated striking upon the
rocks, also sweeping through a board
fence, SO entangled him in the
ropes that he became nearly helpless.
1t struck about ten times upon the
rocks before the daring aeronaut be-
cauo- unconscious, when the balloon
again rose, and at a distance of about
fifteen feet from the ground he fell.
striking upon his back, and lying as
though dead, while the balloon, re-
}ffieved Of its weight, sailed away. The
poor man was in terrible condition.
The principal injury was at the back
| Of his head, q little to the right,
which was caused by striking against
a rock. His spine was also 50 badly
Injured that his lower extremities ATE
completely paralyzed. His face was
terribly cut and swollen, and his body
was mass of frightful bruises from
head to foot. Mr.. Buislay is a man
about thirty-four years of age, and is
considered the most daring aeronaut
upon this coast, if not in the United
States. He has frequently ascended
1000 feet, and given trapeze perform
ances in mid-air, indulging in such
exhibitions of nerve as hanging sus
pended by his toes, and other feats o.
daring at which the ordinary behold
ers shudder. At present the sufere,
is in such condition that the physi
clans can express no positive opinion
as to his recovery.

THE JEWISH PASSOVER.
The observance Of this, festival j

THE JEWISH PASSOVER.
The observance Of this festival ,is
prescribed in Exodus xiii, (see also
Leviticus xiii, and Deuteronomy
xvi.) 1t occurs in the Jewish month
of Abb (Nisan), usually, about the
latter part Of March or the beginning
of April in the calendar year, and
lasts strictly seven days, although the
more orthodox observe eight, owing
to an uncertainty which once arose
about the almanac, and from which
in all these many centuries they have
not recovered. The first day and the
last are sacred, and are marked by a
total suspension Of work. There are
services in the synagogues of unusual
length and solemnity, at which per-
sons attend who do not observe q
Sabbath in the whole year. They
close their shops every where dwell
lers in the country, where there are
no Jewish communities, repair to the
city and put up with friends, or at
Jewish inns, until the week is over,
travellers return to their. homes, and
in fine every stray orthodox lamb
puts in an appearance. An unusual
amount Of friendliness and benevolence
are prevalent, and the. enjoyment is
general.
But after all, these are not the dis
tinguishing features Of the Passover.
All the festivals are marked more or
less in this way. Its real characteris-
tic is it's unleavened food, and the
operation which this peculiar diet has
upon Jewish tables. All leavened
food and fermented drink are prohib-
itea, and everything containing any
admixture Of either, such matter be-
ing known by its Hebrew name,
chomets. With respect to this the
festival is observed with extraordi-
nary strictness. By noon the. day be-
fore the Passover sets in, every house
is completely -cleansed. All table and
kitchen utentils, dishes Of every des-
cription, knives, forks, table covers,
wine glasses everything, in fine, that
has even the remotest connection with
the preparation or consumption of food
or or1nh'- besides, of course, all un-
consumed groceries, arc --ornnved to-
the attic or some other distant and un-
occupied quarter of the house. In
place of all this houseware an equally
complete array, which has never been
used except for the unleavened food
Of this festival, is brought down from
the attic, and arrayed for 4 weeks
brief service. Each little Israelitish
lamb has probably its own private
Passover mug, the gift, perhaps, of
some friend or relative i; and how the
youngsters rejoice over their familiar
favorites as they are taken from their
years contentment. While these dishes
are used the greatest care is taken to
prevent their contact with chomaetz.
Should such collision accidentally
happen, the contaminated utensil, in
thoroughly orthodox households, is
sundered from the rest Of the Passover
ware, and thereafter is doomed to
perpetual association with the plebeian
crockery up stairs.-The Gola@y for
November.
