NEW YORK, Aug. 81, 1882.
The pastors of the ifferent churches
are returning from their vacations, and
next Sunday will witness the reopen
ing of number of sacred edflces
which have been closed 10 all save the
sexton and the cleaning women during
the summer season. The campaign
against " the world, the flesh, and the
devil, and particularly the latter, will
then be resumed again by the pastors
at salaries ranging from -, 900 to S2j,

days hides his'cloven foot with neat
fitting dress boot, will not find work SO

the shepherds let their ilocks look out
for themselves while they sought the

tent themselves with throwing one
shell II day into each others camps, and
whenever either party wants Il holiday
there is an entire cessation of hostili-
ties The ministers who lead the host
of christians seem TO be even more
sparing Of ammunition, for they con
fine themselves to throwing n shell
once Il week, and for two months n
year they even save that. That under
these circumstances the festivities in
the other camp prove 80 attractive
