a powerful influence upon the minds
OF the people of New England. This
was especially the influence which re-
lated to the duty of being present at
divine worship, and strictly believing
in the sanchty of the Sabbath. Then,
in the staid old sancturaries. with their
high pulpits, spacious pews, and
great galleries, it was not surprising
to see splendid congregations. Aud
while the divine5 taaght considerable
theology in their sermons, still no Boz
dy was harmed by them. On the
contrary, the actual fashion Of attend
ing church which prevailed, was a
means Of promoting honesty, neigh.
borly kindness, and helpful piety.
But at the present time, almost all
the country churches secure but spare
congregations. And this fact Causes
the most devout people to be sceptical
at times; in relation TO the efficacy Of
the Gospel. Yet, the truth should be
ever remembered. that people who
live in the cities, do not, so generally,
frequent places Of worship, as do the
residents Of the country. The cor
Tcctncss Of such q statement is ac-
tual'y shown, both 10y observations
and statistics. In all ilourshing cit
les on the Sabbath, there arc attrac-
lions to win the attention Of such per-
sons as are indifferent to religious
subjects. They are noticeably album
dant in the summer, when cheap rail
road and steamboat excursions, pic
MICS, sacred @ concerts, and celebra-
tons are devised, by money-loving
men. And these means, of course,
take one thousand curiosity-seekers,
apathetc men and women, where q

Last Wednesday, our readers prob
ably know, was decoration day. Last
Wednesday was the day set apart for
the purpose Of decorating with sweet
scented flowers, the graves Of our
fallen comrades and heros, who fear
ing not the bitter pamgs of death,
and whose love of country nervcd
them on to fight, yea, bleed and die,
if need be, to defend the stars and
stripes, the emblem Of free schools
and free institutions, which are the
hope and pride of every true American
citizen. Twelve years ago last
Wednesday was day which will be
long remembered by the American
people, and surely those brave men
who had the honor Of marching
through the streets of Washington
and imagine that everything in nature
seemed to say, "return TO your loved
ones, brave heart; thou hast fought a
good flights the country is savel ;
and the gratitude and blessings of
the entire nation will ever be yours to
enjoy" will ever remember that cv-
,entful day until an all wise providence
shall call them home.
But those who never lived to see
or enjoy that day, and who gave their
lives for the dear old flag, how can
we pay too much tribute to their mem
-ory.
We are glad to know that in nearly
every town of any account in the
State, great interests were manifest
in the ecorating of their soldiers
graves; and especially in the cities
Of st. Johnsbury, Burlington, Mont
pelier and Brattieboro, were the duties
.of concentrating the heroic deeds Of
their fallen braves, particularly i'm
pressive.

Russia and Turkey are dealing hard
blows at each other, and contrary to
general expectations, the Turks have
had most success thus far. The Por-
to has declared it q holy war and has
announced to his subjects that Islom-
ism is endangered; and in this way
has ccmented the followers Of Mo
hommed, not only in his own domin-
ions, but through MohammeGon Asia.
1t is the same old battle cry that
has so many times before in Turkish
history called out the faithful. Islom-
ism teaches to conquer by the sword,
and he who fights best has the greatest
glory and honor hereafter. Mussnl-
men have one merit at least, that is
they thoroughly believe in their creed,
and are faithful in it's observance, and
their belief makes them good soldiers,
or brave. For years Turkey has been
called the sick man Of Europe, and it
has been said that she is bankrupt.
But there must be some stamina in d
Government that has withstood all the
political engineering, and the sophis
try Of the combined craftsmanship oil
Europe and that has raised and equip
ped so large an army, and built and
put in fighting trim so large fleet.

protested, and argued and reasoned
all the past winter with the Turkish
government about her .cruelties to

that they must guarantee security to
