Pastor and Parishioner.

The New York ObSeTrCT, a religious
journal of extensive influence and circu-
latiOn, thus discourses upon the scnti-
mental relation that so frequently exists
between pastor and parishiOners:
The establishment of such relations
between pastor and his flock as shall
secure for him that intimacy which
ought to exist only in the domestic cir
Gle is an evil of fearful tendency and un-
speakable danger. Ministers are CEN
surable in a high degree who encourage
their people, men or women, To come To
them with family matters or secret
sores. Some men are themselves gos-
sips, and delight to get and give all they
can of social news, and the more secret
the richer the prize They encourage
revelations when their ears should be
deaf 10 everything approaching to scan
dal. All iudiciOus pastors discourage
familiarity on the part of their people,
especially of the female denomination.
For this way lies the danger. \ silly
woman, piOus perhaps, but very soft
and shallow, hears the stirring words of
her eloquent pastor; is reused, warmed,
soOthed, exalted-she thinks clifed
and straiChtway she believes him to be
the man sent TO DO her good. She goes
to his study to tell him so; how much
endowment she finds in his words; or she
writes him n letter and pOurs out her
little soul full of twaddie about her
gratitude for what her dear pastor has
done for her; how she ais lifted up" by
his Instructions; how she loves him as I
friend given TO be her guide and COM
fort, and so on, and so on, more and
worse, running into 4 mawkish senti-
mentality, 4 sickening man-wOrship,
disgusting to every sensible person, but
very nectar to u vain, worldly preacher,
who seeks only to make his hearers
"feel good" Such people never 20 to
their pastor TO ask "what they must do
to be saved ?" It is to tell him how
good they feel; how lie is ''eXalting"
them, "hlling them with Joy, peace,
and love" We cannot 90 into particu-
lars without offending the tastes of
every reader. We make our meaning
plain. We wish to be understood rs
saying that what worldly preachers and
sentimental women call communion Of
SOULS and kindred spirits" mutual
| help" and 'holy sympathy" and words
/ in the same strain, is not religiou-it IS
not even religious. Is IS Of the earth,
earthly. 1t is "carual conceived in sin"
1t is simply the lower nature, the human
passion of one creature toward another.

y WASHING-DAS RESORT.-W were
very much interested in an account of old
times at the Hot Springs, which was
given us by lady who las for many
years been a resident Of Santa Barbara.
1t seems these springs have always been
resort, though formerly they were
sought for domestic purposes rs well as
for the medicinal properties. The Cali
fornians used to 90 there to do their
washing. The water was soft and hot,
the surroundings were delightful; and
the natives, who naturally make a rec
reation of labor, combined washing with
picniciug, gathered up their sOiled
clothes, mounted their steeds, and with
their children hjed away for few days,
camping and washing at the springs.
Several families would frequently be
here ut n time, and, as described to us,
the company presented quite n pictur-
esQue appearance. Three poles were
stood apart and on end, and their tops
caught together after the style of the
gypsy tripod. From these was sus-
pended a great pot, in which was done
the cooking While the smoke, curling
up from fire beneath the pot, wound
its way upward through the trees, and
the children gamboled over the hills,
the women washed and ehatted i'm
groups beside the stream, until, under
the magic of their cheerful toll, piece
after piece was turned out clean, and the
green underground of the Gallon was
laid over with white and brilliant-hued
garments. Happy washing-daysI Phil

AN EXTENSIVE ORCHARD.-The Ne
vada Transcript thus describes an or
chari and vineyard belonging to Josiah
Rogers, near Nevada City:
There are 1000 grape vines, $50 cherry
trees, 500 peach trees, 1000 apple trees,
800 apricot, and about 6,OOO other trees
on the premises. He has yearly from
ten to twenty tons of plums, which are
worth from twelve to twenty cents per
pound, when market can be found.
He dried five tons of fruit last year.
The cherry trees are loaded and of the
finest varieties. They sell for twenty
and twenty-five cents per pound. The
grapes are made into wine and vinegar
All the trees and vines are thrifty and
bear well. He has an elm tree which
was planted in 1862, which measures
fifty-two inches in circumference. The
fig, apple, peach, pear, plum, almond
and cherry trees, and in fact every kind
Of tree on the place, are literally bent
down with their load. Rogers is quite
aged, but he has recently taken unto
himself n better half, and they are en-
jOying their honeymoon under their
own vine and iig-tree, and no one mo-
lesls them or makes them afraid. The
place is really a little paradise. Those
who desire seeing the adaptabiilty OF
this soil and climate to the raising OF
fruit, should visit this orchard.

LADY CLERKS IL WAsHINGTOS.-I
am acquainted with lady who writes
Spencerian pages i'm the Patent Office ut
Washington for $500 a year. Her father
was n naval officer of long and meri-
torious service, and died Rear Admiral.
Her husband put 500 on the wrong
side OF the stock sale in New York, lost,
and sneaked TO the hereafter through the
back door Of the suicide. Patient and
lovablc, she works as steadily as if some
mighty reward were near at hand.

her, though nobody can see anything
she has TO expect more than life Of

she would have flown first TO the streets
and then TO the charcoal braZier. In
London, il would have been the Argyle
rooms, gin, and the waters of Black
friars' Bridge. As you pass the tables

FACTS PLAINLY STATED--DOes not
the whole drift Of the so-called education
of the country run to a pretense in what
people call the higher branches rather
than to solidity in the three Rs-read-
ing, writing and arithmetic? And does
any one know this better than the edi-
tor Of the daily newspaper, condemned
to read articles badly written, badly
spelled, and based on very bad calcula-
tiOn? IL is not West Point alone which
rejects half the people who apply for ad-
mission. There is not bank which
wants new teller; there is not an i'm
porter who wants new clerk for CORE
spOndence; there is not n minister who
wants new amanuensis; there it not =
merchant who wants new book-keeper,
who does not reject nine applicants out OF
ten Tor the very reasons for which West
Point has rejected these boys, because
they can not spell, they can not write,
and because they do not know what the
rule of three means. And thus we come

boldest chiefs have perished. and there seems
to be little disposition on the part Of the
patriots who congregate at the different head
quarters to rejoin their comrades. There are,
OF course, many honorable exceptions, but
the mass of the Cuban emigration evidently
have little stomach for fighting in the woods.
In Cuba the same indisposition to take up
arms is manifested by the Cubans who live
within the Spanish lines so that very few OF
the men from whom intelligent leaders might
be recruited go into the insurrection to re-
place those who fall victims to bullet or
disease. The process of exhaustion IS
therefore going on rapidly among the
patriots, while the Spanish army is
maintained i'll state of efficiency by con-
slant reinforcements from Spain. 1t is evil
dent from this exhibit that unless the Cubnns
here and in Cuba who are in sympathy with
the struggle for independence make up their
minds to take an active part in the fight the
insurrection will be annihilated by the con-
stantly renewed army of Spain. Some sue
cess seems to have attended the operations of
the Cubans within the last few months, as
they have certainly succeeded an passing the
Trocha and are now operating in the vicinity
of S,nti Espirtu. But these successes can
only be temporary unless the needed supplies
of arms and munitions are forwarded to the
