Western merchants make prompt collec-

business depends upon the price Of our

Much Of the general business de-
preston of the past winter may be traced
to tie causes which have operated to the
prejudice of the breadstuffs trade Of the
country. Foremost among these is the
artificial money panic of last fall which
coming upon the trade when the great
bulk of TIE crop was moving, took them
at the greatest disadvantage and forced
prices to point which may reasonably
be considered below their natural level.


Having good crop Of wheat, as all
must admit. the effect Of this deprecia-
ton in value was to give English buyers
an exaggerated impression of the amount
of our crop, which, coupled with unex-
pected good luck in the quantity of wheat
secured in England as compared with a
total failure of all other crops, led them
to believe that their markets were glutted
with American produce. How much
they are likely to be disappointed in this
respect, a few figures as to the movement
of wheat, &C., will show. On February

What scene on earth is fairer than a we'd

like home weddings. The church is well
enough for those who cannot do better. But
to child, no cathedral can be like that chief
and foremost church of the heart, the fathers

There, where the daughter was reared. and
taught in all womanly grace, and equipped
with housewifely habits, ought she to be
married. Around her are all the tender asso-
Citations of childhood, of love and happiness.
Her new life should date from the nest in
which her old life was bred. When, as in


Europe, marriage is regarded as sacrament,
and as requiring, at least, in a moral polne OF
view, the special grace of when tne prlest i Is

Young annlicants for domestic lite happiness
Should repair to the church. And when, for
centuries. generation after generation have
been married in the village church, we can
understand how thousand associations
would surround that charmed spot, and
make it sacred to love as it is to DEVOTION
But IN America there are no such reasons for
resorting to the church. And if there is an
act in ones whole life that belongs to home,

it is marriage. If one has no home, theye is


good reason who, next to that, she should fe-


pair to church. But we could never under
stand the feeling that leads child, tenderly
reared in an ample mansion, surrounded by
endeared objects, to leave the roof under
which her life has been spent, repair for the
marriage service to that most unhomelike
place, a church. 1t is true, that, to q devout


nature, the associations connected with a
church are many and precious. But they are
not domestic. They are solemn, away from


common life, almost the anthilhesis of that So
cial and summary atmosphere in which two
hearts ripen into marriage. Without unchar-
itableness, it may be feared that too many
persons have regard to the show, the brilliant
impression made upon the admiring public.
Ii so, the most sacred act of life is bribed by
vanity, to serve in its monsrel service. But
these censures are not to apply to the house
less creatures that in marriage seek home
nor to those OF big hearts and small houses,
who have troops of friends without room to
receive them; nor, in short, to any whose
hearts do not bound at the name of home, as

Cosmopolitan and comprehensive In our
intent and means for the Improvement Of the
moral tone OF our readers and the free dffa-
sion Of the principles of religion all over the
world, we submit this morning our weekly
report of the services and sermons which
were observed and delivered yesterday in the
churches OF New York, Brooklyn, the more
prominent of the neighboring cities and the
suburban temples. The exhibit is consoling, and
the effect will, it is to be hoped, be useful and
permanent. IN the contrarieties of The human
mind, when urged onward by mere worldly
considerations and carnal influences, it is
difficult to subject it to uniform system Of
pastoral control from the days Immediately
succeeding baptism to the moment of the pro-
nouncement of the clerical demstimus at the
bedside of expiring humanity. 1t is very apt
to revolt from a one form church disci-
pine; doubt, deny and reject, until it loses the
divine essentials of Christianity as set forth in
the Sermon on the Mount-faith going first and
hope disappearing as natural consequences,
charity having takenfright on the entertainment
OF the incipient doubt of the infallibility and
universally of that simple declaration of the
whole ''law" contained in the words "Love
God above all things and your neighbor as
yourself" To-day we present the means of
reparation afforded to fallen man in the expo
sitions of clergymen of different denomina-
tions, glad to observe ali through the pulpit
effort very general absence of words Of po-
lemical disputation and the substitution of the
accent of brotherly encouragement held out to
men of all creeds in their common struggle to-
wards happy eternity. There were sermons
on the words "All is Vanity" on the Ecumen-
ical Council, on ''Popery," and very many
other open subjects and actual biblical texts,
with new theory as to the resurrection of the
dead, a memoriam of deceased editor and a
of the HERALD as an evangelizer, reforner
and aid to the bishops. The gentleman who
propounded the last named doctrine belongs
evidently TO the order of progress, and may
have been ordained by the imposition of the
piston rod Of steam engine and the end Of an
electric telegraph wire-when not in action
on his head and hands as symbolic of his mis-
sion. He showed how we had terminated the
era OF clerical plagiarism by asserting that if
any man should attempt to publish sermon
OF the Sunday before last in the HERALD to-
day no one would read it, as the people do
not want ''stale" religion. This Clergyman
has got the exact idea. Religion is reforming
itself and thus really Chrstianizing the world.

THERE is reason to believe (says Miss
Florence Nightingale that not lew OF
the apparently unaccountable cases OF
scrotula among children proceed irom the
habit of sleeping with the head under the
hed.clothes, and so inhaling air already
breatbed, which is further contaminated by
exhahtions from the skin. Patients are
sometimes given To- similar habit and it
often happens that the bed clothes are 50
disposed that the patient must necessarily
breathe air more or less contaminated BY
exhalatiOns from the skin. A good nurse
win be careful TO attend to this. Y is an
important part, so TO speak, OF ventilation.
II may be worth while to remark, that
when there is any danger of bedYsoreS a
blanket should never be placed under the
patient. Never use anything but light
whitney blanket and bed-eovering for tho
sick. The heavy imperVious ooiton couns
terpane is bad, for the very rasoa that n
keeps in the emRnations FROM the sick per-
