of old, al called not : lie down again" And
os was written of the earlier Samuel, "he
"went and Law down." SO that one four-sided
transparency might now contain the history VI
tho whole transaction in Only three additional
quotations one side being inscribed, no
" Lord called Samuel" the next might contain
his ready answer, Here am :" the next the
popular response, 81 called not: lie down
"agan :" and the last the conclusion OF the whole
business, "And he went and lay down.
There is, it will be seen, IA half parallel be-
tween the ancient Samuel and the modern. 1t
mieht possibly be continued If David Dudley
Field could only get into Congress and play
the Witch of EndOr with his quo Udrrdnto and
other mcantatiOns, and "bnng up Samuel"
But if Samuel of Gramercy Park should say
with the Samuel of Gilboa, as well he might,
"Why hast thou dlsquieted me to bring me
"up" it would hardly be worth the ncanta-
ton.
Then there are the other two Samuels,
Samuel Randall and Samuel Cox, both conil-
dent of being "callcd shortly, and both lying
broad awake with their hands curled over their
ears. Samuel Cox, in fact, Is confident that
he has been called already. He felt certain
that he heard il Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of the late Congress, and with Douhd
ont of bed into the middle of the floor sald
Here am ~ SO quick that to the popular ear
il seemed to fairly anticipate the call. since
then he has made tour through the SOUTH
and upon every convenient occasion has re-
peated the formula, "Spcak, for thy servant
"beareth." Having read that "'rhe Lord sald
"to Samuel, Behold, | will do thing III
Israel. at which both the ears OF every one
"tpat heareth it shall tIngle," he said to him
self at once, If that is so desirable thing
to do, | will do it myself" SO he wrote TO
the President and recommended the appoint
mcnt of George II. Butler as Post-Ofiice Agent
at Dcadwood lie did make both ears of
everybody tingle. Ii was success. And still
there is great doubt about bis being called
Hc answers promptly enough, and does every
thing that seems reasonable and necessary,
and his Here am ~ is loud and constant
but the chances are four to one that the
answer will be Lie down again" and that 1T
will be written of him also, III October, " And

BELTGJOUS CONVENTIONS.

Two notable religious bodies have been
holding their annual sessions during this week,
but with a difference of aim which attracts
notice. The Reformed Episcopalians meeting
in Philadelphia, base their action upon the ex-
pected downfall of the mother church OF En-
gland, which they declare "will be dlSestaD-
Hished before many years" and, rs many OF
its members will doubtless then turn INTO the
Reformed fold, it is thought expedient to ap-
point a shepherd for them. A Bishop for Great
Britain and Ireland was therefore elected which
il according to secular Judgment most Ma
poleonc bit of strategy aud carrying OF the
war into the heart of Africa. Whether wise
or not is for the two churches TO decide.
Our Methodist brethren, meeting in Balti-
more, who seeded from this same mother sect
long ago, and have been ever since splitting
into parties on all kinds of doctrinal and pOlitI-
cal differences, are now earnestly cndeaVOrlhS
to bring about Il general truce and to find some
common standing ground of truth where all
the branches of MethOdsm can meet and strike
hands, and from which they can work heartily
for the cause which seems true to them. The
proceedings of the two conventions, printed
side by side in the morning papers, offer a
Elections which human nature takes in pur-
suing the same object. This man sincerely
believes reform to mean destruction OF Old
ranks and rules of belief, while hH nelghbor,
lust as sincere, holds it to be a forming
again into line, Ms nearly as possible on
the old ground, and a Difference ut least to
the ancient officials and passwords.
In the mean while our Quaker friends, or at
least that part of them who long ago placed
themselves outside the camp of any fixed belief
or organization, are holding a conference too,
but do not trouble, themselves about their
enemies or their doctrines. Their problem is
the old Indian trouble, at which they have
worked patiently so many years and we are
pretty sure that they will puzzle it out at last
if any human being can. The Presbyterian
Assembly met yesterday at Chicago to transact
n years business for the great denomination
which it represents. SO that 1t has been a
week of church conventions.

fellows in the gallery not only that the State
has no right to help them at the expense OF
the rest of tho people. but That it has no
power TO do so. All the inhabitants OF the
State have an equal interest in an honest and
economical administration Of its finances, and
in times like these especially every dollar
must be watched. Relief will come to the
workinglnan when it comes to the shOpkeeper,
the farmer, the clerk, and the other classes
which make up the community, and not day

We have been living beyond our means. Now
we must stop short and revise our allowances

While in the East the great decisive battles
are slowly and surely approaching, the public
interest in the portentous preparations Oh both
sides is suddenly called away by most un-
expected crisis in the West. The situation in
France is of character which may lead to
results more disquittin. to the peace Of Europe
than the present war between Russia and
Turkey The first of these two Powers is able
to hold back nor hand when she has taken her
predetermined gain; but the elements sud
denly aroused in France have an incalculablc
power Of development within them. 1t is
amazing that at time when parties had
barely learned, through the political expert
cncc of SIX years, TO overcome Their lut0lcr-
auce and excess; when the nation was recoy-
cring its strength through the maintenance Of
peace ana order; and when the Marshal
President, completing the fourth year of his
" septannat,o might so easily have retained
his dull, respectable authOrlty,-that, at such a
time, he should have startled the French
people 10y step which cannot be characterized
as other than rash and violent.
Undoubtedly, MacMahon yielded to the pres
sure OF the extreme Right; but this only makes
the spectacle more extraordinary. The eXcr-
else Of a certain amount OF political wisdom
is the very first lesson which a minority should
learn, especially where it is not homogeneous
in substance, and likely to diminish rather
than increase The Right is evidently grow
ing impatient, and ready for any desperate
device which may promise to shatter the Re
publican strength in France. But the time is
badly chosen for such an experiment. The
immediate effect upon the Chamber and the
people is Il sensation Of mingled indignation
and alarm. The Wetcxt for the dismissal of
the Ministry is 900 trivial to satisfy even the
sensible, unprcjudccd followers of the various
mouarrhical factions. The Chamber will un-
doubtcdly be prOrog,cd at once; but this will
not lessen the popular agitation. We suspect
that MacMah0n viii find few of the best leaders
of tho Right willing to enter the Ministry at
such ciss. The adoption of the resolution
of the Left yesterday, that "thc Chamber
twill only place confidence in Cabinet free
"to and resolved to govern in accordance
"with republican principles by a vote of 355
against 154-m0rc than two to One-pTobably
represents the feeling of an equal proportion
Of the intelligent citizens OF France. The
MaIshal-PIesidcnt has plunged himself and
his party (oT partics) into an unnecessary war
fare. II he confines himself to strictly legal
forms Of action, he will disturb the nation for
n long time, and fail at last. If be should
attempt arbitrary measures, whether IN his
own or some royal aspirant's interest, he will
save Germany all necessity OF IICpming fOl
