4 DEPRAyED CITY.

The St. Louis Post and Dispatch gives a
deplorablc account of the amount Of social
and official immortality prevalent in that
city. If its representations are correct the
Future Great" must be sort of "Sodom
and Gomorrah' shaken up and boiled
down into one The p. and D. Says:
1--WE have spoken OF st. Louis as it iSa
city without theatres or hotels, or books, or
music, or art or monuments, Or endowments,
or parks or gardens, 1t is notoriously, OF
all great cities, the dingiest and the worst
kept ii has fewer children in the schools,
fewer votes at the polls, than any other
large city in the Union. Yctthcre is some
thing worse than mere lack Of culture in
the mind, than mere lack OF cleanliness in
the streets, than mere lack of interest in
the great issues Of vital questions; there is
a blacker stain than the rcproach of sin
Gle defaultcr, deeper disgrace than the
cowardicc Of the taX.dodgcr; il it the curse
on ST. Louis to-day.
THE curse Is that we gre ruled by the
alliance of whisky and mblng; and the
corruption bred by t. - noXious in
tluences permeates our VIII local govern
ment and our local politics, For the rank
and file of the voters two thousand dram
shops open their seductive portals for the
leaders the gamblers ring offers ut once the
means of achieving the success and the sub
stantial rewards which wait upon success
achieved. The pollution of its bribery has
silenced a survile press, has corrupted an
obsequious police, has dctled the very judg-
mcnt scat of Judgment Itself. The congcn.
al alliance between the gambling hell and
the brothel, the convenient service of the
pandcr and the capper, the coercion Of the
spy and the Observation-Disclosures have been
the influences which have ruled st. Louis,
hooking at honesty, insulting purity, defy
ing decency--our burden, our shame, and
our ruin,
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-02-26
LET MINISTER'S STAND ON THEIR
HEADS.

II Is reported that lady one day acct
dentaIly discovered the Rev. Mr. Hepworth
IN MS stud " in the undrcss Of circus per-
former standing on his head or trying to.
he was dcvoting a portion Of his time to
muscular Christianity. Then he showed
thc lady his Indian clubs and parallel bars
ana urged their use in sustaining
and strengthening his earthly tabernacle.
Inc story runs that the lady was not
convinced and made the minister much dis
comfort by her talk Of the circumstance
que was OF the more conservative class and
thought that for a minister the study of
theology and making Of PASTORAL visits was
more consistent than skill in maintaining
bodily position the reverse Of upright or
rather an upright position reversed.
Inc lady was wrong, Ministers need
physical exercise, and should be allowed
to stand on their heads without hindrance
II they deem that to be the proper form of
taking il, We need robust, healthy min
listers. Such will give us robust, healthy
preaching. Even now class Of our spir-
ltual advisers sit too much in their study
chairs Some Of our clergymen have no
opinions, Imagination, sentiment, or even
spirituality Of their own. They are mere
echoes and often empty churches. Tha
is because they do not stand intellectually
on their heads. They have so little head
to stand on. They stand on somebody
eIsc's head, and often a broader and better
filled head than their own. Some of our
| clergy take little exercise, grow thin and
nervous, and geAeraly near sighted, and
often in the privacy OF their homes become
tea and coffee sOts. lntcmperancc, among
other forms, involves aracing up on strong
tea or coffee five or six tunes a dag, 1t is
a mild form Of tipping, but its effects are
none the less injurious, where the minis
ter as usual in such cases, is not a hearty
eater A little stimulent is well enough,
but unsafe unless the consumer backs it
up with plenty OF food, Such ministers
would do better to stand on their heads
and thereby create an appetite. If our
teachers are weak and dyspeptic what can
be expected Of the pupils: Distorted
views Of life are born of weak stomachs
SO are prejudice, envy and bitterness. Even
ministers are afflicted with these complaints
Eat, then; exercise and continue to stand
on your heads. 1t gives one, also, quite a
different view of things. Try it. Life
should be looked at from all sides and if
possible viewed upside down. The moral
here involved applies with equal force to
female preachers. Let them all stand on
their own heads as much as they please.
Only let him that standeth take heed lest
he fall.-Graphic.
