RELIGIOUS.
Last Sunday, the pulpit of the VI. =.
Church was filled by the Rev. VIM. Thos
Nalaint. His sermon was one of his happy
efforts, and well delivered. He said nothing
that any one could take offence at, except
in the description of church whose steeple
reached near the heavens, and whose pres
ent condition was not very tlittering. He
said they were reaping the fruits of THEN
own doings, and sarcastically remarked
that they were sdnctifed persons in that
church. He certainly would not be so pre-
sumptuous as to say 1t was the protesting
of sanctihcation that caused them to thus
degenerate. | know churches, where sane
tiiicatiCn is hooted at, to day to be reaping
the fruits of their doings. Would he say
it was for the want of sanctitcationo "a
poor rule which will not work well both
ways" 1.-THE Aid Society meets to night.
at Mrs. John McCau!ey's. This society is
in a tl0urshing condition, and under its
present efficient members and officers, ere
long will take charge of the financial affairs
of the church and the paying of the preach
ers will be left to them. The lords of
creation will bow submissively to the
deliberations of this organiZation.-Th

visited Union Church, it being Communion
Sunday, and before some who had left the
table were from their knees at the seats
they occupied before going to the Lords
Table, an official brother announced we
must raise an amount of money. After
the excellent sermon and good advice, for
such proceedings | could not offer one
excuse. II did not notice tie steeple on tie

unusual interest in Scribner for October, is
entitled "A Yankee Tar and his Friends"

terateurs of the last generation, including
Dickens, Thackeray, Turner, Sydney
Smith, Doyle, Rogers, Landseer and many
others. The writer gives letters from all
of the allowed named, with three of Miss
Leslie's, the latter of the most piquant and
witty character. We haven't space to par
ticuralize further, the whole number is le-
plete with attractive articles.
