MEssRs. EDITORS :--Having no.
ticed that the columns of your paper
are at all times open to the reception
of church and religious matters, l
have thought the new turn of affairs
in the Amish Church matter of suf-
ficient importance to interest your
intelligent readers. This sect or de.
nomination are quite numerous in
this portion of Garrett county, an j
still more 80 on the other side OF the
Pennsylvania line. They are pro-
verbal for their thrift, industry and
material prosperity. Some of them
are quite wealthy and influential.
Poverty is almost unknown amongst
this people. The great body of them
are what are known as well-to-do
people. If one of their members
happens to fail in business, the church
will promptly put him on his feet
again. This is a part of their religion.
They are instinctively tillers of the
soil, and but few are engaged in any
other occupation. Their routine is to
commence at the time of their ma
jority at farm labor, and celtinue till
money enough Is made to make a
payment upon piece Of land, and
perseverance, and industry will &C
complish the balance. For many
yeas they have been pressing south.
ward and westward from the Anglo
German districts of Pennsylvania.
They are prone to supplant the Gen.
tiles who are less thriving than them
selves. Hence there has always been
something ola jealousy or prejudice
against them, though uEiustly so, for
no people more deserve the fruits OF
their labor, as they gain nothing out
side the old-fashioned, honest way.
Who are the Amish, and what are
they? They are branch of the
Mennonites, who sprang IRON their

wife mother and friend, and the large
crowd of relatives and sympathizing
friends Withdrew from the silent
grave, the aged husband and father
returned to his lonely home wither-
ed reed bent and bowed by the arm
Of time, tempest tossed and shaken
by the surging winds, having already
lived his four score years. He now
awaits the summons of his Master
from the "other shore" calling him
over to join the ship crew of loved
ones who once crossed the briny deep
with him, and have now left him here
all alone on the shores of time. whilst
they have all emigrated to fairer
lands and there await his arrival and
are beckoning him on. This wife
and the mother who has so lately left
will be missed in the family circle,
her kind loving voice will sound. no
more in our midst for il is silenced
here to take up the song of praises
to its blessed Redeemer in the land
of rest. The day before her dep r
ture she called her weeping family
around her and told them they must
let her go and net weep for her for
she would soon be living with the
angels and her suffering ended. A
few days previous to her death she
dreamed that she was in deep
pool of water, and almost sinking
and her son James, came to her aid
from the other side of the pool, gave
her his hand and took her across.
Did he meet her in the stream of
death, and give her his hand? Per
haps he did and that they two are
singing together to-day, the song of
the redeemed. She selected hymn
out of the Presbyterian hymn book
to be sung at her grave, commencing.
1.-THE hour of my departures come" &C.
Father and children all have our
deepest heartfelt sympathy, all your
love and tender care could not detain
her when the summons of death
came.

Our sainted friends in myriads stand;
Tho gone from us, redeemed to God,
Arrayed in garments washed in blood.
Through tribulatlon great they came;
They bore the cross, despised the shame;
From all their labors now they rest
And lean upon their dear Lords breast.
They feel the bowling blasts no more,
Nor sin, nor pain, nor death deplore;
The tears are wiped from all their eyes,
And sorrow yields TO endless joys.

to all education, but certainly they
do not favor a general or wide sys-
tenn of education. They hold that
too much education often leads to
dishonesty: an enlightened head
makes lazy, thriftless hands.
The most foremost man in all this
country in this sect is Mr.. Joel
Beachy, who for goodness, integrity
and reliability is second to none. Ey.
cry one respects and has entire faith
in Joel" He is their Bishop and
preacher, with full and wide-extend-
ed authority. Several years ago, af-
ter accumulating handsome compe-
tency by hard labor, he retired from
business entirely. and now lives en-
one end of his farm, about mile
from this town. He is about sixty
FIVE years of age, but hale and hearty,
Church matters haye claimed nearly
the whole of his attention and time
since he retired from business. He
is thoroughly consecrated to the good
work, and he does it we'll and salts
factorily. His predecessor in office
was his venerable uncle, Jonas
Beachey, who died six or seven
years ago, over ninety years of age.
He, too was man of great worth,
and much respected by all classes OF
people. Was for many years bishop,
and devoted the whole Of the even
ing of his life to his ministerial du-
ties, which often carried him long
distance from home.
1t is to be noted that their minis
tiers. or preachers, receive no pay
whatever for their services. They
reason that the great Head of the
Church, when upon earth as a minis
ter, did not preach for money. His
Incompatible sermon on the Mount
was preached to the multitude in the
open air, gratis.
Their ministers are not educated
or trained for their calling, and are
selected on account of good sense, in
f1uence and excellence of character.
