The GARDEN or CHTSA.-The
Chinamen-who walk over bridges
built two thousand years ago, who
cultivated the cotton plant centuries
before this country was heard Of,
and who fed siIkworms before
King Solomon built his throne
have fifty thousand square miles
around Shanghai which is called
the Garden of China, and which
have been titled by countless gener-
atoms.
This area is as large az New
York and Pennsylvania combined,
and is all meadow, and raised bnt
a few feet above the rivers-lakes,
rivcrs,canals-a complete network of
water communication /; the land I'M
der tie highest tillage ; three crops
q year harvested /; population
go dense that whenever you look you
see men and women in blue pants
and blouse, so numerous that you
fancy some fair or muster is coming
off, and all hands have turned out
for a holiday.

sermons, and uncalled FOR services, may
be assigned as the roots OF the evils
which make our churches bazars and
places Of rendezvous for the giddy,
worldly throng. There too much ritH-

many sensational and emotional effects

much Of this-and, after all, who are

servants Of God, who, forgetful of hsay-
enly precepts, think to make themselves
and their church more prominent by
means of artificial religion and highly
Illuminated solemnity. Music, lights,
professions, and other sacrilegious clap

mere repetitions Of what we see at the

The FOIIie. Of Fashion in Churcher


A very distinguished European at
present visiting this city was asked by
friend at the Travellers club, on Sunday
evening, how he had spent the day2 He
replied that during the morning he had
attended a bazaar for the exhibition of
fne clothing, and the afternoon in writ
ing home Of what he had seen. Impor-
tuned to be more lucid regarding the
morning, he named st. Jimcrack' Epis
eopal church, on Fifth avenue, ss the
bazaar, aud said he never before had wit
messed worldiness and religion so closely
associated. This sstrical rebuke is by
no means undeserved, aud should extend
to ether denominations besides the one
designated by the European. OF late
years the worldly element has been as.
serting itself more and more at so called
worship at many Of our fashionable "
churches, and not only at divine service,
but in the general management Of church
affairs. This is no rash assertion to say
that half Of those who attend fashionable
churches-and why, in the name OF all
that is good and holy, should they be
called " fashiopable2'-do so for the pur-
pose Of exhibiting their 6nery, seeing and
being seen. | doubt not--and this is not
an individual opinion-that il il was put

Some 500 letters what Is termed in

About 100 Of these still remain TO be forwarded OF

There also came in the Deutchiands mail largo pack

curious appearance In their aud tattered condi.

while on others only shreds remained Numbers OF
