hess Of the "pOor box" will proba.
bly, never be known, but an incident
which recently occurred in New
York renders it extremely proba-
ble that some congregations have
rested under unjust suspicion in
this regard. The officers Of the
Roman Catholic Cathedral in that
city, noticing that the receipts
from the poor boxes had strangely
fallen of, instituted a watch and
canght a young man in the very
act Of removing the deposits. The
means employed was a whalebone,

never missed his nickle. He con-
fessed that in this way lie had to

COMMUNICATED.
The Christian Sun of Suffolk, Va, in pub.
fishing a communication, taken from the
Gazette, from Markham, Fauquire county,
signed "Druukard," comments thus:
There is 20 habit really so hard to break
away from as the habit of drinking regularly
and to excess. The man who has once con-
tractcd this unhappy l:ablt 6uds himself a slave
in tetters and 10 chains, and to crafty his mas
ters.-his depraved appetitc-he will sacrifice
his means, his health, his friends, his position
iu society, and every thing that is dear; even
the wife of his bosom and the children of his
love, he will sacrifice for drink. His appetite
once formed is ungovcrnable. In the language
OF the poor, druukard quoted above, "a fiery
furnace is kludIed iu the breast" and it burns
up every other good desire, good feeling and
good prlnclple: 1t makes its victim demon,
mad man. 1t poisous him, body aud soul;
it blasts his prospects, his hopes, his aspira-
tious, both IN this world and that which is to
come. Moderate drinker, driuker of anv class
beware-take warning, ere it be too late and
you are undone forever
A CELEBRITY has just been buried, the Com
tesse kisSeef. the wife of once Russian am
bassador at Paris She separated from her
husband soon after their marriage, and since
then found her only distraction" " in gambling.
Not gaming table in Europe but hailed her
as a cherished gaest; not visitor to Homburg,
Baden or Monaco but can recall that handsome
old lady, sitting at the green cloth, with ser
vaut behind her holding sack of gold, into
which she oftencr dipped her hand to take on,
than to rake anything iu. Her 'at homes IL
Paris Were famous for high playing. She gen.
orally lost. Her manners were as charming as
she was elegant; in driving 10 her carriage OF
travelling by rail, she passed her time playing
plquet Iu an audience with the Pope, His
Holiness mildly rebuked her for her passion
tor play; she promised him she would try and
reform, and for year undertook never to sit
at gaming table; she felt she observed her
promise, as, during the twelvemonth, she al
ways stood at the table, and might have con-
tlnued to do SO had not an accident broken
both her legs aud confined her to bath chair.
