Of all needful rights and privileges. 1t

they may expect; also how to deal with
honest sceptics, of which it is assumed there
are very many in this day. Mr.. Cook gives
An infallible cure for scepticism, which is to
take God into the conscience and to keep
Him there by secret prayer. Mr.. Light
bourn will preach the Word to the almost
Christians who may be in his congrega-

them into the Christian life. which is, ac-
cording to Mr.. Jutten, ahappy life, provided
the tongue is bridled and kept, and provided
also, according to Mr.. Mccarthy, the trifles
of home are attended to, for they make home

Herald Trains and Pony Expresses

AS the cool nights and breezy days come
on, premonitory of the end of terrible
summer. there is one ''tlattering JUNCTION"
that the Homecoming wanderer from the
seaside and mountain may lay to his soul.
He knows what has been going on in his
absence as well as do those who have never
lost the odor of the city restaurants, for the
HERALD has been always with him, and
city man in the country studies that ample
chronicle of news from all nations and all
sides and corners of the earth with an intel
lectual appetite which he scarcely feeli
when he is not on his summer rambles.
With us it has been an arduous and not
unsuccessful campaign but when the bot
tom fell out of the Post Office enterprise in
the way of fast trains we felt as it was put by
the small boy under the apple tree in a
thunder storm-that something must be
done, and that we must do it, Our labors
in this way have covered field extending
from Cape May, in the southern extremity
of New Jersey, to Schroon Lake, in the
Adirondacks, and from Fire Island Beach to
Schooley's Mountain, where the sun seta
for all reasonable people in this part of the
world. Lake George, Saratoga the Cats
kills, West Point, Sharon Springs, BallstoD
Spa, Long Branch, Ocean Grove, Sea Girt,
Red Bank, Cape May, the Highlands, the
Oranges, Schooley's Mountain, Budds
Lake, Lake Hopatcong, Morristown, Hack
ettstown, Hampstead, Glen Cove, Rockaway,
and, indeed, innumerable places more OF
less known as summer resorts are included
within these limits, and in all the HERALD
has been furnished constantly on the day of
publication. In the greater number Of
these places the HERALD has been delivered
before breakfast, and in not one later than
dinner time. Our fast trains, pony expresses
and diligent couriers have completely de-
monstrated that the morning paper is one of
the luxuries of city life that the public need
no longer leave behind when it goes out OF
town. Our advertising columns now ex-
hibit the revival of metropolitan life that
comes with the autumn days. For some
weeks past there has been great encourage
ment among city merchants over the sub
stantial indications they have had of the end
of siege of weary waiting for better times,
and the rush Of advertisements is one Of the
best general evidences to be had of the fact
that the good times waited for for three
years are coming at last.
The New York herald., 1876-09-10

an illustration in its way of the growth Of
the city, and it is at the same time an illus
tration of the inevitable way in which our
city grows longitudinally as to its regular pro-
gress. Other cities grow in almost every con-
ceivable manner, but mostly like the great
oaks, to which every year adds ring of sap
wood In that way the change in the location
of social centres is slowly made, and at its
utmost is not great 1t required hundred
years to remove the social world of London
from Bloomsbury to the present West End,
and in Paris the Faubourg st. Germain re-
tains its character with almost the constancy
of the polar star. But the latest removal of
Delmonico emphasizes the fact that in this
city the social centre of gravity has been
changed within forty-fve years from Wall
street to Madison square. 1t was the OBJ
servation of old DR.. Francis that physician
in good practice in this city had to change
his residence once in ten years in order to
keep pace with the movement up town of his
patients. Otherwise the people only sent
"down town" for the family doctor on
serious occasions, and for oil lighter emer-
gencies called in some practitioner from
over the way or round the corner. But
physicians have always been more numer-
GUS than Delmonicos, and people will
rather take the chances as to the
capacity of doctor than as to the quality
Of dinner; wherefore the advance of the
restaurant has been slower than that laid
down for the medical man. In fifteen years,
however, our city acquires such q growth
that the restaurant which caters to the cul-
tured palate and the ample purse is left be-
hind if it does not move. In the Delmonico
annals there is seen the remarkable fact that
while the first restaurant down town was
established for a custom such as recently
favored the one at Fourteenth street. it re-
mains near the same original site, not as
centre of social festivities merely, but as the
necessity of busy public whose attention
can be diverted from financial problems only
by culinary skill. That district which was
once the whole city is now held only as the
special district of the money interests, and
the class that walked on the Battery in those
days now saunter on the Mall.

The Coop Work of rescuing children
from the tender guardianship of profession
al acrobats and circus managers was con-
tinued at Poughkeepsie yesterday, where
three little boys were being put in jeopardy
of their lives to amuse an audience. The
boys, known us the Leon children, were
taken charge of by the Society for the Pro-
lection of Children, and Leon, and the pro-
prictor of the show, Murray, were held in
their own recognizances to await the action
of the Grand Jury. OF course the children
were not Icons own, but were "farmed

Religious Press Comments.

The trick and the muddle of the Saratoga
Convention is the leading subject of COM
ment in the Independents last issue. 1t says
somebody lied to and about Governor Sey-
mour, and it leaves the democrats to decide
who did the lying. Sarcastically, the hide
pendent thinks that it is very strong and har-
monious party whose fate hangs on the can
didacy of Horatio Seymour. A coroners in
quest to ascertain whether the party be
dead, and if dead, who killed it, seems to
our contemporary to be the next thing in
order. The Obseruers editor spent little
time in political convention lately (prob-
ably the State democratic), and the lesson
that he carried away therefrom is that earn
estness commanded attention and nothing
else would. And SO it is in the Church
Earnestness is more than gracefulness; often
it is more than sense. If. therefore, religious
speakers were as earnest as political orators,
the Observer thinks they would be far more
efficient for Christ than they are now. The
Churchmdn discusses the relative merits Of
satire and sermons, and finds that while
many very good men in the pulpit fail to in
tereSt their congregations, WHO consider the
preacher dull, q stray cat or poodle, which
may find its way into the church, will do
what the minister fails to do and keep the
critics awake. :'The plain truth seems to
be-" says the Churchmdn, "that the infec-
tious frivolity of the world produces and
promotes habit of undertaking. serious
things"
The Examiner and Chronicle is fitting with
the Christidn at Work. The latter accused
Baptists with being inconsistent in that
they invite Pedobaptists into their pulpits,
thereby recognizing them, and yet refuse to
commune at the Lords table with them,
thereby refusing to recognize them. The
Examiner rcpels the charge, and argues that
while any Christian can preach the Gospel
only baptized Christians can administer the
ordinances. Hence Baptist ministers never
administer the ordinances tor Pedobaptist
churches nor do Pedobaptist ministers per-
form this service for Baptist churches. And
this proves Baptist consistency.
