TIE PRESS AND THE PULPIT.

And how about the press and the pulpit !?
We are weary of the cantlng cry that the
press is superseding the pulpit" as if
there were vital rivalry, enmity, antagon-
ism between them. The printing press is
a divine invention. True, the devil has
borrowed it, and set up an office of his own
words the more reason, therefore, why
the proper activities of the press should be
stimulated and encouraged. The press and
the pulpit are natural allies. II the former
be truer to truth and manlier to men, it
will of course take the lead, and it ought
to. If the pulpit be left behind in the work
it is doing in the world it will be its own
fault. To certain extent, We doubt not,
it has been left behind, and the causes
are not creditable to itself. But no.
body who has given sober thought to the
matter can deny for moment the
providential place which has fallen to the
printing press in the work of human civil
ization. The great power which makes for
righteousness, whether with Matthew Ar
mold we call it one thing, or with Matthew
Arnold's father we call it another, is not
shut up to the use of any one agency, any
one implement, any one professional set of
men, Paul would have been printer, we
doubt not, if the world in his time had
been old enough, and would have set up a
press in every city where he went to plant
the Church. Let US get out of our heads
this weak piece of affectation that the
chatter of the printing press is drowning
the voice of the pulpit. There is plenty of
work for the pulpit to do Let the preacher
stick to it, and make the most of it. After
he has done all he can, there must still re-
main work he cannot do, which the press
can. Let it alone, if you cannot help it

AN EMPHATIC WITAEss.

Alick Thompson of Virginia tells story
illustrative of the peculiar vernacular OF
the people among whom he was born, and
of their special capacity for giving evil
dence in Court of justice III a compact,
accurate and picturesque style. Some time
ago he CHANGED to be visiting at county
seat in Virginia, and was courteouslY IN
vited by the commemorative attorney to
come into the Court room on the following
morning, with the assurance that witness
would testify in murder case then pend
ing. He entered the Courtroom, and
speedily after his arrival a witness was
called, who advanced to the stand with
such jaunty air of self-assurance, and
who kissed the book with such loud-sound-
ing confidence, that he was sure this must
be his man. His judgment was not incor-
rect.
williamson" asked the Common
wealth's attorney, "do you know any
thing of the killing which took place at
Kobertson's store last month
Know anything" was the response ;
81 were thar"
"Then tell the Court and jury" said
the attorney, "what you know"
The witness planted himself more firmly
on both feet, glanced around upon his
auditors, and thus delivered himself :
Well, you see, Mr. Robertson were a
sittin' in the back part of his store a-play-
in of his fiddle, not a-thinkin' of bein'
stobbed, nor nsthin' of the kind, when in
come Mr. johnson, and then and there
stobbed him; then he gathered bung-
starter, cleaned out the crowd, Tipped the
palm, and cl'ared heseIf. u Harper's

suPnRsr1r1oNs OF TURKISH WOMEN.

The Turkish woman Is a fanatical con-
servative. The world in which she lives is
unmoved by the practical facts of the nine
teenth century which make life burden
to her husband. No Chinaman was ever
impervious to ideas of improvement. She
is tiercely intolerant in matters of religious
belief. The teachings of the Koran have
reached her by word of mouth, and sur
rounded by perfect Talmud of tradition,
and these teachings shape her view of the
outside world. In obedience to thenr she
commonly hates foreigners with passion. As
she passes you on the street she will pray
with audible fervor that your eyes may
become blind, or that God may curse you.
She is superstitious in the extreme. In
sickness she will use the saliva of an old
woman who has never been divorced, or
will inhale the fetid breath of an odorifer-
Gus and sanity dervish, IN preference to
the choicest prescriptions of an educated
physician. She is assured that Satan in
person teaches Americans their skill in me-
chanical arts. She believes in charms.
She will not live an hour bereft of her
three-cornered bit of leather which in
closes the mystic phrase that is potent to
ward off the evil.eye. She dlstrusts Tues
day as the mother of i'll luck, and will not
celebrate the birthday anniversaries of her
children, nor even record the date, lest
some magician use it to cast spell against
the child.

A NOVEL WEDDING.-A few days ago,
up on the Colorado, couple bent on mar.
rage procured license and set out with
one or two friends to look up parson.
They reached the river, but alas, the
would-b bride could not cross. They
were in pickle. The only parson for long
weary miles was just across the river,
while visions of irate parents with double
barreled shotguns formed very long and
troublesome procession through the minds
of the two lovers. The weather was cold,
the river was up, and what could they do ?
One of the escort suggested that he would
swim the river and see, if possible, the
parson, who undoubtedly would fix up a
plan to tie the nuptial knot. He did SO,
found the preacher and soon had him down
on the river bank. The water was cold
and deep and he refused point blank to
cross over, to the very great distress of the
young couple on the other side. Neces-
sity is not only the mother of inventions,
but is the mother of expedients. The par
son concluded to marry the couple across
the river and they joined hands and took
their stand near the waters edge, while
the preacher, on the opposite bank, in
stentorian voice pronounced the marriage
service and declared them man and wife.

THE HEAVENLY BODIES.

The size, and motions, and distance of
the heavenly bodies are such as to exceed
the power Of ordinary Imagination, from
any comparison with the smaller things we
see around us. The earth's diameter is
nearly 5000 miles in length, but the suns
is above $50, 900 and the bulk of the sun is
the earth. The planet Jupiter, which
looks like mere speck, from his vast dis
lance, is nearly |, 300 times larger than the
earth. Our distance from the sun is above
%, 000,00 miles; but Jupiter is AGO.,
900, 900, and Saturn 900,000,000 miles
distant from the sun. The rate at which
the earth moves around the sun is is, 900
miles an hour, or l40 times swifter than
the motion of cannon ball and the
planet Mercury, the nearest to the sun,
moves still quicker, nearly 1000 miles
an hour. We, upon the earth's surface,
besides being carried round the sun, move
round the earth's axis by the rotary or
spinning motion which it has ; so that in
every twenty-four hours we move in this
manner nearly "a, 900 miles, besides NOV
ing around the sun above l,600, 900 miles.
These motions and distances, however,
prodigious as they are, seem as nothing to
those of the comets, one of which, when
farthest from the sun, is 1900, 900, 600 of
miles from him and, when nearest the
sun, flies at the amazing rate of $50, 600
miles an hour. Sir Isaac Newton calcu-
lated it's heat at 9, 900 times that of red hot
iron; and that it would take thousands of
years to cool. But the distance of the
fixed stars is yet more vast they have
been supposed to be 400, 900 times farther
from us than we are from the sun, that is,
3S, 600, 900, 10000 miles; so that a
cannon ball would take nearly 100000
years to reach one of them, surprising
there was nothing to hinder It's course
thither. As light takes about eight min
utes and a quarter to reach US from the
sun, it would be above six years in coming
from one of those stars but the calcula-
tons of later astronomers prove some
stars to be so far distant that their light
must take centuries before it can reach us ];
so that every particle of light which enters
our eyes left the star it comes from 300 or
400 years ago.

OUR PAsTIMES.

The cricket field, the hunting field, the
race course, the racket court. and the
arena of athletic sports, says the London
Lancet, all number good many manned,
or even killed, among their votaries, but
the undoubted value of athletic exercises
to the individual and the nation more than
counterbalances the occasional mishaps
which must inevitably occur. While it is
advisable to avoid anything approaching
to brutality in our pastimes, it is equally
necessary not to encourage effeminacy,
especially in this age, when manufacturers
of "gentlemen's corsets" faunt their ad-
vertisements in the public press, and men
of the modern aesthetic school write maud
lin poems in praise of each other There
are many pastimes infinitely more ruinous
to health than those we have enumerated
above. Dancing night after night in
crowded non-ventilated rooms is among
the most unwholesome and dangerous
practices of modern life, and kills infinitely
more persons Though more Indirectly than
either the Rugby" or Association
rules. The men who are killed by sitting
in public houses, or, what is much the
same thing, in club houses, playing billiards
or cards till the small hours and drinking
"B. and S" are not held up as a warn
ing, while their fellows who happen to be
killed while engagedsin some sport which
has in it dash Of nobility and pluck are
spoken of as ''frightful examples of the
evils of this or that amusement.
