EARLY HARvEsT.-Mr. Jacob Swartz

one Of Mr.. llamilton's fields, on Satur.

IVA marvellously large proportion
OF the sums contributed nv the public
for religious and charitable purposes is
spent in running the machinery for their
collections and disbursement. An ex-
traordinaiy illustration of this fact has
been laid before the Presbyterian As
sembly IN Brooklyn. In the year that
ended with April, 1865, the sum OF $40
600 was disbursed by this BODY. ut an
expense OF $4,000; and in the wear
that ended with last April. 100000 was
disbursed by it, at an expense OF SO
600. Doubtless some very amiablc in
diyidualS secured very satisfactory sal
aries for managing these Disbursements
but Il any otLer business consumed the
same proportion Of its income for run
ming expenses. bankruptcy would soon
orertake It. 1t does seem passing
strange that money contributed for re-
Iigious and charitable purposes sbould
