Church and State In England.

We make the following extract from an
article on Religious Equality" in En-
gland in the Fortnighty Reuiew for May
The figures quoted above as to the
relative numbers of the Episcopal and the
other denominations in England have
more than merely numerical signifi-
canoe. They measure also the growth of
the claim for religious equality, and Of the
principle OF religious equality in mems
minds. Whatever may be the exact pro-
portion of members of the Church of
England, relatively to the united men,
bers, say of the Wesleyan, Baptist and
Independent churches, and whether the
former have or have not a preponderance
which even at the very best can not be
more than trifing, the dissenting commu-
mites are at all events important enough
concession of political and social gu.
premacy to their old rival. 1t is not
merely that the reduction of the parlia-
mentary franchise has made, and will
make, an immense increase in their direct
political power. That is true, and it is
very important fact; but it is not all.
The principle of religious equality, when
once raised by circumstances, is especi-
ally fitted to find its way into the
plain, straightforward and unsophisticated
minds of the people who now by univer-
sal admission are the depositaries of su-
preme political power in this country.
Religious equality is watchword that
strikes responsive chord, not only in the
workmen who 60 to chapel, but in those
who 60 to church, or who go nowhere.
1t fits in with the whole bent and range
of their homely political notions. En-
glishmen are as free as the day from
venomous antipathy either to classes or
institutions. Even their contempt for
the house of lords is good natured, so long
as the lords confine themselves to esca-
pades that amuse them without doing
over.much hurt to other people. To the
Church of England, as religious COM
munity, they have no antipathy at all.
The Establishment is another matter.
They know its political history. They
know that from its highest officers down
to its obscurest subaltern, this great army
of political clergy has never lost single
great opportunity of taking the side of
tyranny against freedom, of privilege
against equality, of stagnation against
improvement; that they were to man in
supporting the king and the parliament
in the attempt to suppress the liberty of
the American colonies almost to man
they hated and resisted the reform bill |;
they have hated and resisted every pro-
posal to extend religious freedom and
civil equality; they looked coldly on while
other men fought the battle which drove
slavery from our possessions; they did
not lend finger to mitigate the inhu.
mainly and atrocity of the criminal code ;
they spoke no word on the side of the
common people in the great battle for
cheap bread. 1t is no wonder that the
active and leading minds among the work.

Sleeping In Church.

The Rev. DR.. Deems of New York, says
the Christian Union, accords his congrega.
tion the privilege of going to sleep in
church during the summer season, but
"draws the line at snores." Addressing
cation, DR.. Deems says: "Now, boys
and girls, somebody has taught you that
it is very improper thing for you to 60
to sleep in church. have great respect
for those teachers, but let me tell you
something. During this hot weather you
fix up in the morning to come to church,
and when you get there everything goes
as usual, the preachers voice is Just the
same and by-and.by, when the sermon is
about half done, you find yourself feeling
drowsy, and it is hard work to keep your
eyes open. Now when you find yourself
in this condition, 60 to sleep. l shan't
blame you for it; neither will the Lord.
The next best thing to close communion
with God when you are awake is close
communion with him when you are fast
asleep. But you mustn't make noise
while you sleep; do it quietly. l know
there is one little boy among you who
makes good deal of noise, but he doesn't
intend to do it. want to ask the person
who sits next TO that boy just to 'hunch
him little when the noise begins-not
hard enough to wake him, but just to
stop the noise. There are sometimes
few people in church who hear every
sound while the sermon is going on, and
these noises disturb and worry them.
Now, let that be the rule during the sum.
mer-when you can't keep awake, 60 to
sleep,"

"IHAvE long ago rejected, as greatly
injurious, and as far.reaching in its evil
tendencies, the principle of teaching re-
ligious truths under the garb of fiction.
From much of the religious literature
prepared for the young the transition is
much more easy and natural to the novel
than to the Bible. Old people are often
heard to complain of the slender and frail

THE OLD CHURCH TOWER.


In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
And above 1t on the vane,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Cut in gold, st. Peter stands,
with the keys in his clasped hands,
And all Is well.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
You can hear Its great heart beat,
oh, 80 loud, and wild, and sweet,
As the parson says prayer
over welded lovers there,
And all is well.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
Deep and solemn, bark again,
All, what passion and what pain
With her hands upon her breast,
Some poor soul has gone to rest
Where all ia well.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
An old friend that seems to know
All our joy and all our woe,
II ia glad when we are wed,
1t is sad when we are dead
And all is well. IT, B. Aldrieh.

INTO THE LIGHT.


BY MARY GORDON.
The clouds hung low above my head,
Their folds mere leaden drear,
The heavy drops fell hard and chill;
My heart shrank back with fear.
But one by one the rain drops ceased;
The clouds had changed their hue,
And long white wreaths rolled slowly off,
Though still there came no blue.
But inch by inch that came at last
The deep and quiet blue,
Which only eyes know how to prize
Who watch the storm sob through.
And now ait In light again;
Not strong and dazzling bright,
But soft and chastened fdt the eye
Just opening from the night.
And as turn to let Its warmth
Fall gently on my breast.
l see the old dark lines Of cloud
Slow fading In the west.
And as mark the old sad hue,
Against this golden light.
And as hold this sweet, soft day,
Against that bitter night,
Wet eyes raise gratefully to him,
Who furled the dark away,
And lips intreat for grace to spend
Alright this new -dawned day.

AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect a radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAED's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rble itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb TO use.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It has often been marked that the great blessing of the ninety first Psalm, "And pes tilence shall not come nigh to thy taberna- c1es," has been literary fulfilled on the Jews. In medieval times, when the "Black Death" depopulated entire districts, the mob perse- cuted the Jews because that race was touch ed so very little by it; but investigations of modern times show the cause to lie in the pc culiar laws regulating the Jewish diet and kitchen As proof call attention to the fact published in the papers last Tuesday, that in Italy not a single Jew died of the cholera, and in Marsei1les nine (not seven as the American papers said, of whom seven lived sfTerefa, ;" that is, in utter disregard of the Jewish dietary and culinary laws, and the other two caught the disease by nursing an old lady stricken with it.

A Mean Trick on Bees.


 It was German, believe, who invented the extractor now in common use in England and in this country. That idea came to him upon seeing his boy tie a bit of string to piece of honey comb and swing it around his head in order to get the honey out. The cen trifugal force forced the honey out of the comb. From this to the ordinary extractor it was but step The machine, as in com mon use, consisted simply of a big tin barrel, containing frame upon which honey comb may be placed. By means of ordinary gear ing the frame is turned very rapidly, and the honey flies frsm the cells to the side of the barrel and triclxles down.
 The beauty of the extractor is that it saves the bees all the trouble of making honey comb, labor requiring considerable time and material, inasmueh as for every pound of comb there is twenty pounds of honey. When the comb is empty, it is put back in- to the hive, and the bees, dismayed at the loss of their stores, go to work at terrific rate in order to provide for the coming fam inc. When the comb is again full of honey, it is placed in the extractor and again emp tied. According to the experience of my venerable friend, the bees can be made to do about twice as much work when their honey is taken away from them after this fashion as when they are required to comb. In other words the yield of honey is nearly double

AN ImPORTANT DIFFERENCE.

The free traders are fond of asserting that while wages in the United States are admit ted to be higher than in England the Ameri- can workingman derives no substantial bene- fit from that fact, for the reason that money in England will purchase twice much as it will here. But the truth is that in nearly everything that goes to make up the substan- tial necessities of living the dollar has as much purchasing power here as abroad. There is no doubt that some articles of ordi- nary use can be more cheaply bought in En- gland than in this country, but, on the other hand, there are great many of such articles that can be. more cheaply purchased here than in England.
 So far as food is concerned, the American workingman, with an average of wages 75 per cent. higher than the English working man, certainly has very great margin of comfort and good living in his favor, the following table of the retail cost of common food articles in Liverpool, New York and Chicago cokclusively shows:

Vice Admiral Close of the British navy has offered singular explanation about the loss of the gunboat Wasp recently off the Irish coast There exists, it seems, form of de- fective sight known as 'moon blindness" persons afflicted with which are unable to perceive aslight shining in darkness It is easy to see the consequences of this infirmity in the navigating officer of ship. Admiral Close says he nearly lost the man-of-war Trident once from this cause, only discover ing in the nick of time that his navigating officer was unable to see the light of a light house half mile distant. If ''moon blind ness'' is an established fact in medical sci ence, the sooner provision for detecting it is made the better.
