Another Nut For .sA Congregational Pa S. tor, to Crack.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Whom would our ''CongregationaI Pastor suggest as the mentor of young Christians, to guide them in the selection of the inno- cent '.drama''-the extent of "harmless in. dul, ence'' in ''card-playing," dancing, etc. fear that individual judgment will be as va rious as the individuals. He quotes from the C07eg7egdtonalSst in favor of his position. Suppose the testimony of all those Chris. tians who have lost their religious life through such indulgences could be given to the public It must be an exceptionally un- emotional character that can go from any theatrical entertainment in frame of mind fitted for religious devotion. know that the presence of Congregational Pastors'' in our city theaters has been considered by many protesting Christians as justification of their attendance. It has been the most weighty argument they could offer and con- sidered by them incontrovertible
 Christ says to his disciples 'sFollow me !'' Will his footsteps lead us into these strictly worldly amusenents? I cannot think of Christ at my side in the theater, or whirling with me in the dance, or sitting with me at the card-t table. believe there is 8 power in the divine grace that Christ communicates to his disciples that makes them happy in self HSSCo Ao to sscome out" and be separate and re- spects us in proportion as we do so.
 We see the columns of our papers filled with theatrical advertisements even up to Saturday night. Night after night these places of 6 amussments D are crowded while our prayer meetings are thtnly attended The money of pEofessing Christians flows into the play boxes, while our churches are burdened with debt. The cry is, Oar young people must have amuse- ment l' Let them never see the inside of Q theatre and they will never care to. The rag baby gives as much pleasure to the child of poverty as the wax doll to the child of lux ury. The doors being opened by such good people as our ''Congregational Pastor," we find nov our young people almost going crazy in their rush after ''amusements !'' The home circle with quiet hour in reading is only a s'duH time" Frolic and fun-a 'tgood time''-are all their dyspeptic tastes comfortably digest. Piety has been thought the mother of content and peace, but now the very term is in the ears of the young only the synonym Of melancholy and old fogyism-something for the aged and those just ready to die. We hope our beloved Congregational Pastor'' will reconsider the matter. LAYMAN.

l THE NEW TAX LAW AND BUSIN ESS.- Just what effect the new tax law will have on the business interests of She country can not yet be told, but it is interesting to know l what experienced business men think about 1t. large number of the merchants oi Boston have been interviewed concerning this matter, and their opinions are, on the whole, encouraging.
 The dealers in drugs, chemicals, etc could not undertake to say how much the tax on their goods would be reduced until they had had an opportunity to test the practical op- eration of the law. But in most cases they were of the opinion that 1t would affect the prices which would be charged the public little If any. Matchas would, however, probably be little cheaper
 The earthen and glassware dealers report ed that the general effect of the law as ap- piled to their business would be to increase duties rather than to lower them but they do not anticipate any reduction in the amount which will be imported. The lumber and wooden ware men were most of them per fectly satisfied with the tariff so far as it touches them.
 The sugar refners said that the reduction on sugar was only about half cent a pound. and that this would have very little effect on the market rates. Molasses was chit harder than sugar, but importers and dealers seemed to agree that the market had already discounted the tariff, and they look for a better trade, now that the question is settled.
 The wine and liquor dealers said that the new law will result in an incr ease of the gov ernment receipts for that class of goods, but they do not anticipa' any decrease of trade. The fruit men thought the tariff would make but little difference to them
 How the wool dealers feel is thus set forth by MT. Frost: s'While the wooden manu- lecturers were prepared for, and expected and favored 8 moderate reduction, yet the bill has made larger reductions in some re- spects than they expected. They would rath- CT submit to these, however, than have their business constantly interrupted by an ever lasting agitation and revision of the tariff laws" The silk importers agreed that it would make no difference with their busi- ness, as silk importing, except as done throughthe agents of the foreign manufac- turers in this country is already stlost art. ;
 The opinions of business men in other places agree well with those of Boston busi- ness men. Undoubtedly some branches of business will be damaged by the new law, but others will be helped, and as soon as manu. lecturers and traders get their afairs adjust ed to the new condition of things business as g whole will probably improve.

to the real state of things. The authorities are sitting on the safety valve and congratu- lating one another that there is no escape of i steam Bnt there are signs that O. feeling of
 uncertainty exists in the public mind gener- ally. The commercial and financial world IS
 uneasy and insecure. The paper rouble, the price of which at par is 3s 2d., has fallen to 2s. or 2s. Id, as low as it was during the Turkish war. The report that the Emperor had returned from Moscow in an ordinary train, the special train provided for him being sent on empty, affected the price of the rou- ble adversely, because it indicated the dis trust and uncertainty which exist even with the Czar and his immediate advisers This distrust and fear are thought to be the req sons of the continued retirement of the Emperor and of the repeated postponement of his coronation. Enormous preparations for the coronation were made in the churches, palace, and other places at Moscow, and it was fully expected that the ceremony would take place during the recent visit of the Emperor. It will now be postponed until next spring or summer, as it must be done in certain church at Moscow, and with ob- servsnces, and above all, must be made the occasion of great public pomp and festivities To do 1t privately, or even quietly, would be departure from custom, and would serious ly damage the prestige of the Czar in the eyes of the peasantry and poorer classes
