PUNCrUALlTY IN ALL THINGS 1t is as
tonishing how many people there are who
neglect pupctuahty. Thousands have
failed in life from this cause alone. 1t is
not only o serious vice IN itself. but it is
the fruitful parent of numerous other
vices, so that he who becomes the victim
of it gets involved in tolls from which it lie
almost impossible to escape. 1t makes the
merchant wasteful of time; it saps the
business reputation of the lawyer, and 1t
Injuries the prospects, of mechanics who
might otherwise rise to fortune (; in word,
there ia not profession, nor station 10
life, which ia nur liable to the canker of
this destructive habit.
r In mercantile uffairs, pupctuality Is "a
important AZ in military. Many are the
instances in which the neglect to renew
an insurance punctualiy has led to ser
| ious loss. Hundreds of city merchants are
now suffering in consequence of the want o
| punctuality among their Western customers
in paying up accounts. With sound policy
| do the banks insist, under the penalty OF &
| protest. on the punctual payment OF notes
| for were they to do other wise, commercials
transactions would fall into inextricabl'
confusion. Macy and many a time ha
the failure of one mao to meet his obilga
tions brought on the ruin of score o
others, just as the topping down, in linz
of bricks, of the master brick causes tn
fall of all the rest.

have read with great interest the occa-
sional references in the Dispatch to the diff
fercnt religious denominations in Virginia
and elsewhere. ] rememlser very well when
our secular Journals were in the habit OF
ignoring all such topics as beyond their
proper sphere. Public sentiment has, how
ever, underground change in that respect, and
men are beginning to find out that although
Church and state are, and in this country
ever must be, kept (as social organizations
entirely apart, yet the interests OF the two
are to Il large extent inseparable. They
touch each other ut so many points that it is
impossible for Il Journalist to give his read
crS a satisfactory survey Of the one without
aifording them occasionally general view
Of what is going on in the other. Indeed,
hi, has become so well understood by those
who are successfully reducing journalism
to a science that some Of our large city pa
pcr> often give more religious information
TO the country than any half dozen Of its
UNCONVENTIONAL organs are capable OF doing.
Witness that splendid achievement in jour
nalism by which one or two OF the New
York papers actually flooded the land with
the choicest and nobeSt literature by taking
down rerjatim all the speeches that were
made ut the last meeting Of the great Evan
gclical Alliance.' There are questions
arising and events constantly taking place
in the border land which lies between the
nations political and ecclesiastical domains
which are common to both, and cannot pro-
perry be excluded from either.
Whatever u!ay be the case in other coun-
tries, all the clements OF American society
are in such quick sympathy with each other
that no great controversy can take place in
the nation that does not exert reflex influ-
cncc over the Church. As seen in this
light, the communications in late issue Of
Your paper concerning the proposed re-
union OF the " Methodist Church South !"
and the "Methodist Church North" was as
interesting TO some OF your readers as any
thing that it contained.

Crowds OF people are leaving the noun

the few sensible persons who truly appre-
ciatc the delights OF the early fall, and who
know how 10 enjoy the quiet that now
reigns in places where Il few weeks ago oil

season has not been Il very prosperous one
for the springs proprletors. 1t has not
been up TO the average; while prepa-
ralions were made for unusually large
crowds. 1t was thought that many for
eigncrs would come over to the Centennial,
and from Philadelphia extend their trip to
the Virginia watering-placcS. There has
been woefui disappointment in this re-
spect. Comparatively few foreigners have
been attracted by the Centennial, and not
many OF them have found their way to our
springs. Perhaps the springs proprietors
