in getting somebody to buy the bonds.

Rev. Gsult speaks tomorrow
evening at the Congregational church,
in the interest of the National Re-
form Association, SO called. These
people state that the association is
lsboring to secure in the hearts of the
people, and ultimately in the pre-
smble of the Constitution Of the
United States q recognition of Al
mighty God as the source of all
power and authority in government
etc. Among other things they say
"wo need it to correct our most I'M.
fortunate attitude under the first
amendment which restraints Congress
from prohibiting the free exercise of
any false religion, such as Mormon
ism, Oneidaism, Pagan idolatry, etc."
The success of any such scheme as
this, would be calculated to disrupt
the government. Leaving Congress
to wrangle I'VE which lie the true
and which the false religion would
make q pretty pickle of our national
legislature, which has more on it's
hands now than it can reasonably
manage. This little mundane sphere
has had quite enough Of the union of
church and state, and intelligent
readers Of history want none of it in
this country. Our constitution is not
hempered as these people think. No
crimes can be legally committed
under the euise of religion, and what
more is needed?

Tho entertainment by tho Colum-
bus Lyceum last Friday evening
seemed very satisfactory to the large
audience present. NJ. X. Turner in
troduced the numbers of tho evening
by q few remarks concerning the
origin and harmonious existence OF
the society for the past half year ; the
demand for some such aninstitution in
every community, &c. The several
q~uartettes furnished by the Arions,
Messrs. Bowman, Cornelius, Pohl and
Falbaum, were most excellent, the
last one, in our opinion, being the
best of all; the recitations by the
three young misses, Pearl Clark, Bes-
sic Sheldon and Nellie North, were
admirable; the Grafton by C. A..
Brindley on hero-worship, was not
only an excellent piece of literary
work, but exceedingly we'll deliver
ed; 1.-The Old Folks at Home" by
Mary Turner wa well adapted to her
voice, and given in her usual manner ;
the recitation by Miss Foster, Zone of
the Flock" was . delight to the audi
ence, one of her pupils not being able
to believe that "the old woman" with
the failing voice, was his young
teacher ; Lutte North's "Slosser's Ride"
was q No. l performance; the recita-
tons by Miss Eva Clark and Miss
Clara Weaver were happy renditions
of familiar pieces; Miss Martins rec
itation showed her usual care and
genius, which are far above the ordi-
nary Carl Kramer's "Trouble in the
Amen Corner" was very effectively
rendered emusic at Night FALL" by
Misses Mary and Martha Turner, an
old gem of song, was given in q pleas
ing manner; the piano solos by A. C.
Picket, showed unusual talent; Gus.
Falbaum's song was we'll received by
the large audience; he has, within his
makeup, q good deal Of deep, smooth
bass; Miss Rose North's song gave
evidence of tho high culture of her
voice, and was received, as always,
with rapturous applause; Mr.. Nun
gers select reading was q delight to
the ladies of the audience, while
Brother Backus's essay was a dish of
bread and butter and solid meat, with
a considerable portion Of pungent
salt and fiery pepper. Altogether the
entertainment was such that the pub
lie call for q similar one in the near
future. 1t seems to the JOURNAL
that occasional entertainments during
the summer will be profitable all
around.
