The Hell Question,

ing been in consequence subject to more or less bit
ter criticism from pupits all those lands it
wonder that the leading topic of discussion ev-
erywherc is, whether not the good old doctrine Of
Hell, which has so long been of comfort and
consolation to the rigid class of tologans shall
be thrown into the garrett along with other worm
eaten rubbish Of the past But, judging by the num-
Der of Clergy and aity of the better and more ntel
gent class who willing to let the doctrine be
struck from the creed it would appear pretty certain
that the bottom Of Hell was about dropping ont.
A Congregational Council recently held in
North Adams, Mass, to install the Rev. T. I. Munger
1t was presided over by President Hopkins. of VII
liams College, leading light who has for years laid
down the law to younger ministers, and President
Porter Of Yale College, the oldest and most proIni-
nen institution of theological learning in the country
In his reply to the usual questions, the candidate
frankly expressed his doubts to the existence of
Helhis inability reconcile it with either the love-
mercy, justice, intelligence of the Infinite Presi-
dent Porter asked him if he believed in the unda-
mental and general principle that God rewarded good
and punished evil to which the candidate replied that
he did. President Porter then remarked, that he
thought the answer was satisfactory. As to place,
nature, and duration Of punishment, they open
questions and honest differences Of opinion might ex
t those points, without lowering the moral stand
ards. The candidate was installed.
Thus it goes The world moves. Progress in the
ologcal conceptions well progress in everything

" 1t is now positively stated that the Presi.
dent will veto the Silver bill, aud will indicate
to Congress the only kind of silver bill that
would secure his approval. When it has come
to this pass, that man who is less than one re-
move from being damphool, sets himself in op-
position TO the Representatives of the American
people, and presumes TO dictate to them the sort
of bill they should pass, it looks as if the old
Wing doctrine against the veto power was wise.
Gen. Jackson severely censured for indicat-
ing to Congress bill that would meet his ap-
proval, when he vetoed the United States Bank
bill. Does the poor, coneeited idiot who now
occupies the White House imagine that he is
greater than Gen. jackson!

AZ 1t was announced, last week, that Maj. E
N. Morrill,, of Hiawatha would probably be ap-
pointed United States Marshal. We doubt
whether he wanted it, or knew of the report,
except rs the public knew of it, by rumor.
Within the past few months, Mr.. Morrill, has
been spoken of for Lieutenant Governor, Con.
gresham, and several other Offices. The public
should not take these suggestions of his solicit
ous friends as an evidence that he is ready to
accent apy Office that comes along.

on THE Loss OF TIE "xETRoPoLIs.-



Oae more loss the billowy swell,
Is the record read to night;
A living freight Is Graded
To death by the Oceans might
But hushed Is the winds sad story,
Peace brides its icy breath;
The seed that was sown in its madness.
Ii reaped by the harvester, Death.
For stflled are the quivering pulses
In the hearts of the seamen dead,
Who. borne from the wild surf's bosom,
On the cold white beach are laid.
No moistening tear for the forehead,
No kiss for the stony cheek;
No mothers tender tribute
For the lips that cannot speak.
Gut strangers have followed in silence,
The line Of the narrow graves,
And the funeral rites but dirges
Moaned out by the cruel waves.
But ne'er will the dark procession
Be awakened by the Oceans roar.
Dying away in n murmur.
As it breaks on the burial shore.
