The Churches Reopened.

To-day the greater part OF those
churches which have been closed during
vpcn tnoIi NUTS, anu IuvIte tue people
seeking religious instruction to enter in
and listen TO the words Of the returned
pastors.
We trust that these pastors come back
to town fortified in health and strength
ened in spirit to combat the devil and his
works. The times are not encouraging.
men are not prosperous, and enforced
economy Is the rule Meantime, the
temptations to evil prevail rs at all pc
RODS, and men now especially need 10 be
warned against wicked despondeucv.
and 10 have their thoughts directed to
true religion, 30 that they shah be saved
from falling into evil ways us "a habit.
Those who have had no church to 20 TO
Tor month or more have perhaps had
their religious feelings blunted. Let the
pastors reclaim these wandering sheep If
they can, and so zealously fight against
wickednoss us TO win tho appreciation OF
all who hate 1t.
They have been having good time in
the country. Now let them get back to
work, and OF work there Is a plenty for
them TO do, If they 20 AT the job in the
right way. But they must not preach
distractions. What the people OF New
York need today is practical religion.
The field is ripe for the sickle, but the
sickle must be sharpened with truth, and
be welded by preachers who are prepared
TO spend their strength in the labor. III
all The pastors roll up their sleeves and
enter the proper field determined to bring
back rich sheaves, they will probably have
their arms full before the next summer
vacation comes Let us hope that the
practical results of their works ON the
lives OF our citizens will be obvious in
their better works and cleanier ways.
The Roman Catholic churches do not
close during tho summer They maintain
their services the year round. For this we
give them due credit, aud hope their sum
mer's work has beon satisfactory to them

According to the Cincinnati Commercial,
which may be supposed to speak by authority.
Gov HAYES is exceedingly anxious to evade
the com and to visit the seat OF Government
at Long Branch as the guest Of GRANT. We arc
told that the invitation was sent a long time
ago, and declined "on account OF official and
other duties requiring Gov. HAYEss presence
at Columbus" 1t Is evident that the harmless
statesman of Ohio Is in quandary. Knowing
the extreme unpopulartty Of GRANT, Gov.

he depends upon the Presidents misuse OF the

the ingratitude Of HAYES, and IL determined
that the latter shall pay homage to him In view

Are colored churches up to the proper
moral standard" IN a question discussed by
Kentucky newspaper, the American citizen,
published at Lexington, as a religious organ Of
the coored population. The Citizen holds that
a"deep moral m lady hangs over the coored
churches, threatening their very existence. and
eating out all the supposed piety." II then says:
"Tho fact that the clergy make enort to enforce
high moral standard Will be startling revelation TO
that class OF people Sho have been wont to reg ri
churches ne the very qunessence OF moral excellence
From this IL results tha their system of re igiUus
prevails The churches, and there IL PRACTICALLY ne
much immortality within AZ without the church."
The religious CHisen next makes this ooserva-
ton:
That membership OF colored churches 10 no evi
aenct that man hai undergo moral change; that
II that man IL not leading NE OF open
are facts hat can successfully Rainsay."
This IL not cheerful news. We apprehend,
however, that the remark just quoted Ia APP
plicable to some white churches "a well as to
these colored ones. There are white churches
with membe who do not furnish satisfactory
evidence that they have undergone a thorough
transformation that leads them to live and act
In conformity with the preccpts of the Scrip
trres This Is not as II should be; and we agree
with our colored contemporary that the clergy
should look into this state OF things.

telliponce prevail can stand safely on basis OF
aristocrsuo caste. military supremacy. and bu-
reaucratio domination. But meanwhile they
are, for sound reasons. content to hold aloof
from al participation In government. The

and doubtless acquainted with this paragraph in
the London Gozette OF Dec. rs, 1717. relating to
her ancestor, GEORGE l., and his son:
"His Majesty pleased to cause his royal pleasure

THE GENTLE ART.

Probably one of the worst businesses
under the sun is that of a printer. His
every deed seeks the light of day. Those
of the lawyer lie In dark boxes and be-
tween mnsty shelves the doctor places
his Indifferent handiwork in the earth {;
the tradesmau has but his customers
to please, and in satisfying him his
work is ended But the printer, every
ignoramus spells over the work of the
printer. Fellows VIII would find it
impossible to put twenty letters togeth-
er grammaticaIlywill point ut with glee
a fault In his wOrk-indeed 1t is usually
this class of individuals who make it a
point OF finding out every little discrep.
ancy. Did the public know the thou
sands of different characters, and atoms
comprised In printers everyday life
did they but know the variety of alto
gether foreign subjects he has to set up,
read, correct, and revise day after day
they you'd wonder how he kept ont
OF a lunatic asylum. But practice
makes perfect, and constant friction
has rubbed off all the rough edges from
the character Of the man of letters =
nothing takes effect upon him-he can
view errors of the most frightful de-
scription with calmness. After all,
what Is an error, grammatical or other
wise ? Simply so many types out of
place, that's all, and quite enough-but
not enough to upset the equanimity of
the printer.
After this dissertation on the man our
readers would perhaps forgive US for
introducing line or two on the matter,
or on printing generally.
Printing may be divided into four
classes
FIRsr.-The customer brings in his
order In quiet, geDtlemanly sort Of
way, with 'goOd morning." or "afteI-
noon" and ''kindly print this In your
best style" He does not ask for a
price-requires no proof, his copy is
very good, and he gives no trouble.
His order claims immediate attention -
1t is set up In the best style, and print
ed on the best paper. There are no er-
rOrs, for the printer has confidence 10
himself and his custOmer-the work
gives great satisfaction, and when the
bill is sent he is perfectly satisfied and
pays the money with pleasure. He be-
lieves in his printer and his printer be>
lieves in him. This Is frst.class print-

ators which State is entitled to in
Congress, together with the names of
as many others as there are represen-
tatives of the State in the lower house

the same day, which is the first Tues

State meet at their respective State

AnAwnIm omen1

Last night q man who had been
playing for four or five hours at a faro
table in Virginia said, in q quiet, deter
mined tone, TO the dealer as he laid his
last dollars worth of checks on the
tray and five: "If lose that III
blow my brains out" There was a
hush in that small room where souls
are bartered nightly for the chance of
winning gold. Youths, fevered with
the excitement of the hazard, drew
back at the awful threat, and old
gamesters cast an eye of dread upon
the pale-faced man who staked his
life upon card. The gay murunur
which almost always rises from a
group of gamblers was hushed. The
long, thin fingers of the dealer trem.
bled. His colorless face twitched
nervously. The jaw of the attending
waiter dropped, and his tray was held
mechanically by the nerveless hand.
Slowly the cards were thrown from
the silver-box. The five LOST The
money OF the ruined gambler was add
