MOODEY & sANKEY.

Lucretia Mott, woman OF national
reputation, has gone after the revivallsts
with a sharp stick. Last week the vener-
able old lady delivering an address in
Swarthmore College, Delaware county, upon
Religious instruction, referred to the fact
that the expression, "Come to Jesus and
like words have been formed SO steadily or
the tongues of hypocrites and demagogues
that she really disliked to hear truly
Christian minister use them. She regretted
the tendency to emotional and sensational
religion at the present time, and said in
stead Of the worship Of God, many of the
congregation of all denominations are sub
stituting minister worship. Everywhere
the word of God is being prostituted, false
quotations are being made. An attempt
is being made to threaten and frighten
people into being religious, whereas the
religion Of Jesus is founded on love and
earnest conviction. The services Of Moody
and sankey she considered to be in the
end productive Of more evil than good
and characterized the enterprise as the
shrewd dodge of smart business men tt
gain notoriety. She dep'ored the fac
that Mr.. Moody, in his rantings, does mo-
truly construe the Bible, but twists it'
sentences to suit his purposes. She gave
number of quotations from the Bible as al
tered by him, and said, chow wrong thi
is; how perversive Of the truth; wha
harm it does to ring these untruths in tn
ears Of collected multitudes. | will Civ
Won a few to show how different the word
uttered are from the simple words Of Jes'7
of Nazareth" Mrs. Mott then read som
of Mr.. Moody's quotations, and turning
the Bible gave them as they appeare
there. From these it seems that NJ
Moody places quite a long tail on some
them and voluntarily supplies in the bod
of the texts what he, perhaps, conside
essential omissions. The address mac
quite sensation.
This is quite sensible view Of the ma
ter. and we recommend it to our readers.

sonae Of Clara Morris MisfOrtunes

Miss Morris short engagement at Mr..
Daly's theatre has been the subject OF some
Dainful incidents. AT first, this estimable
Young lady was engaged to act in a society
drama written for her by Mr.. DAILY: Un-
fortunately, on reading it, she found it not
worthy Of her study, and refused to Per
form it. Then Mr.. DAILY insisted upon her
opening in verson Of "Deborah," which
she reluctantly agreed to do; MIR; DAILY,
in his agreement with Miss Morris,
stated that she was to ap'
pear in play written expressly
for her by by Mr.: Wider, on Mary stuart !
Queen Of Scots, in which she thought she s
would be able to produce a very great el.
feet. On Saturday last there was yer,
exciting scene between the lady and the
manager, at the close of which Miss Nor
ris tainted, and was carried home danger
.yusiy i'll. She has been in bed since, ano
DR.. Baker assures us that there is but
very slight chance Of her appearing on thf
stage for long time to come. MY. ' l1er

very properly refused it to Miss Dayen

beware of "The Ivy Green"

The Harrisburg Patriot tells the follow
ing sad story Of the death of young man,
in that city, from poison, endangered by
contact with the plant known as the pol
son ivy"
About week ago, young man named
Logan Ellis, aged nineteen years, and a
comrade named Dare, aged seventeen, son
of Z. O. Dare, Esq, Broad street, went to
the island opposite the city, on a foggy
morning, for the purpose Of she coting ducks;

over logs and debris, many feet away from
the stem. Among these vines the young
hunters remained, and, owing to the fog,
the poisonous matter penetrated their gar
uents, poisoning their neither ,cx-
tremities in fearful manner. A few days
after the poison broke out over the body
Of Young Dare, in the shape of an ernp.
ton, but the youn man was kept in doors
and promptly treated, and is now in fail
wav of recovery. His legs, body and
arms, however, were frightfully swollen.
Young Ellis, who was in the employ o.
Mr.. swope as driver Of a team, was aztec
ted in the same way, and continued hi:
work up to Saturday, when he complained
of being sick, and he was shortly atter
ward taken ill. He took spasms on Sat
urday night and suffered the most excru'
ciating pain till death relieved him OF nj:
sufferings some time during Saturday at
ternoon. The poison, it is thought, strucl
into his system, reaching the vita! parts
causing death. Ellis resided with his pa
rents on Fulton street, near Sayford alley
| The vine referred to is styled the common
wood ivy, found clinging to old oak tree
in most Of the American forests.

Spotted Tails Idea of Jesus
CHRIST.

A correspondent of the Courier
Journal interviewed Spotted Tail
while in Washington, and amoung
other things questioned him as to his
belief in the Saviour, and the In
dams answer is given as follows:
Il have heard all about Him: how
good He was, what great things He
did; how He would help the bad man
TO be good, and how lie would lead
all who would listen to Him to the
Great Spirit, His Father; and ! have
also heard how the white man killed
I'm. The Indian never would have
done that; he never would have
murdered the Son Of the Great Spirit.
He wculd rather have loved Him better
than his Own life : would have given
Him anything and all he had, and
tor Him would have gone upon the
warpath and conquered the world. Il
was for long time after | first heard
about Jesus Christ that l did not un
derstand how the white man could
have killed Him. but when [ got
better acquainted with the whites,
when | realized the fact that they
had no respect for the rights of the
Indian. would take away his home
where he was born. murder him and
his children, despoil his women, and
rob him Of his winters food. [ then
very readily understood how they
could even Kill the Son of the Great
Spirit as they did. -

NEWSPAPER MEN.

1t is our opinion that we have
among us no class of men of whom

cure the services Of a competent corps

paper Of any size is work to which
more expense is attached than most
persons are led to suspect. Their work
is not only combining but also very par
ticular in every conceivable sense. To
anything near meet the views of the
great number Of persons they must
/ try TO please is a work by far larger
/ than inexperienced men in dealing
with the public ever dreamed of even
In their sOundest slumbers. With
precision does every intelligent reader
trace every line that is written with
regard to themselves or friend? And
who is il that does not know that it is
one CT the most natural things imagi-
| nable for every one to want an indi-
vidUal application made to themselves
by one public man, 40 difference how
much they may be pressed, or how
meager the material with which they
may be supplied to meet the eXaciing
views OF so many people. Of late
years 1t has become very common for
quite a large proportion of our people
to carry to Newspaper offices many
things of which they wish the Editor
to speak. Now we are not going to
utter one word against this, but to the
contrary. We are inclined to encour-

Celebration at Washington City,
held on the 9TH instant, they were
addressed by John NJ. Langston, a
Professor in Howard College in
that city, and by Fred Douglass,
both mulattocs and able men.-
They both denounced their white
leaders and the Freedman's Savings
Bank Swindle. Said Douglass,
eve have been injured more than
we have been helped by men who
have professcd to be our friends. He
said those who managed the Bank
are now "domiciled in beautiful
homes and drive their fine turn-
outs" 1t makes me feel badly to
see how we have been robbed. And
now we bid 2p afectionate adieu

future if we need a Moses we will
find him in orr own tribes"
These sentiments were tremen-
dously appIauded.
