oyster spats are about the sizeof finger nail,

Der of fifty or sixty, on each. The further

that ones relatives and friends comprise a
body of the elect superior to ordinary people
has taken astonishing root in the soil of the

village or town of the Union without being
confidentially informed as soon as he gets into

treaties between nations are ratified: the glory
consists in the rectitude of the purpose that
approves the one, and the grandeur of the
phiilanthrophy that sacrifices the other. The

RELIEF OF UNlTARIANS AND UNI.
YERSALISTS.

The attendants at the "Church Of the
Messiah" St Charles street, near Julia, being
about equally divided between Unitarians and
Universalists, many are anxious to know what
difference there is in the religious belief OF
the two denominations. Last Sunday. the
BULLETIN gave the articles of belief of the
Unitarians, as promulgated recently by the
Unitarian Association, and the pastor, the
Rev. Mr.. Reed, a Universalist, referring TO
the article. announced from the pulpit, that
the Universalist's belief was Identical with
that of the Unitarian, as published 10 the
BULLETIN, and as many of each denomination
profess ignorance of the religious faith of the
other, the following may be deemed of inter-
est:
The religious views of Unitarians and Uni
versalists are, in general, identical; the latter
expressing their views affirmatively, the for
mer negatively; as, for instance, {" the Unlta-
Ian faith is opposed to the trinitarian idea;
Unitarians do not believe that the Son Gre
ated the world, or that the Father died on the
cross" The Universalists "believe that
there is one God, whose nature is love, re-
vealed in one Lord Jesus Christ, by one Holy
Spirit OF Grace, who will finally restore the
whole family of mankind to holiness and hap
piness." They GO believe that the Holy Scrip
lures of the Old and New Testarents contain
"a TGNolhtlOl Oh the CHARACTER VI OOu, dlu VI
the duty. interest and final destination OF
mankind" They "beiieve that holiness
and true happiness are inseparably con-
nected, and that believers ought to be careful
to maintain order, and practice good works;
for these things are good and profitable unto
men This is the entire "Confession of
Faith of Universaliss.
The Unitarians, as shown last Sunday be-
lieve identically the same; but having had
from the beginning OF their denominational
existence, an insurmountable objection to
anything like creed, have, until quite re-
Gently, refused to adopt what had been IN ex-
istence as the creed of the Unlversalists for
many years prior to the birth of Unitarian
ism per Sc, yet as seen, the Unitarians have
all along expressed their belief in this very
creed, by denying every proposition lncon-
sistent herewith. Both denominations are,
therefore, identical in faith, ard only differ as
to their belief in the form Of expressing II;
one being affirmative and the other negative
in their form of expression; one giories In an
affirmative creed, the other in the denial OF
creeds.
For more extended information, the inquir
ing reader is referred to Vol. XIV, New Amerl-
can Cyclopedia, yerbo "Unitarian," by Rev.
DR.. Bellows, OF New York, and Universal
ISM" by Rev. DR.. Sawyer, now of the Divinity
School OF Tufts College, near Boston; both

Punctuality i'm all Things.

1t is astonishing how many people there
are who neglect punctuality. thousands
have failed in life from this cause alone. 1t
is not only serious vice in itself but it Is
the fruitful parent of numerous other vices,
so that he who becomes the victim OF 1t gets
involved in tolls from which 1t Is almost I'M
possible to escape. 1t makes the merchant
wasteful of time; it saps the business reputa-
ton of the lawyer, and it Injuries the pros
poets of mechanics who might otherwise rise
to fortune; in q word, there is not profes-
sion, nor a station in life, which is not liable
to the canker OF this destructive habit
In mercantile affairs, punctuality IS as I'M
portant as in military. Many are the instances
in which the neglect toi.renew an insurance
punctually has led to serious loss. Hun
dreds of city merchants are now suffering IN
consequence of the want of punctuality among
their Western customers in paying up &C.
counts With sound policy do the banks in
sist, under the penalty of a protest, on the
punctual payment of notes; for were they to
do otherwise, commercial transactions would
fall into inextricable confusion. Many and
many time has the failure of one man to
meet his obligations brought on the ruin OF
score of others, just as the topping down, in
q line of bricks, of the mastor brick causes
the fall of all the rest
Perhaps there is no class of men less pune
tual than mechanics. DO you want an up
holsterer? He rarely comes when he agreesi
So with carpenters, painters, and nearly al
others. Tailors and shoemakers often do not
have their articles home in time. The con-
sequence is that thousands remain poor all
their lives who, if they were more faithful TO
their word, would secure q large run OF Gus
