You hear, that, a man has written a popular book, and that yon are to meet him at dinner. You anxiously await the introduc tion. Yon hope that your own inferiority in conversation will not be very apparent, and, to be on thesnre side, resolve to play the part of listener. You meet the great man, and vainly expect wit or wisdom from his lips. He turns out to be a very ordinary mortal. He may bo shy and silent, or garrnlons and bold, bnt be does not realize the expectation which yon had formed of him from his writings. A sub ject is. discussed before him, and he either says nothing abont it, or if he enter into ibe controversy, •’ makes' little of tho subject, throws no, light upon it, and leaves it where he found it. You go away, dreadfully disappoint ed, and cannot understand how a man can talk so tamely and write so spiritedly—how he can bo weak as well as strong—how he canembddy the poet’s averment that we are <• half dust, half deity.” A few months pass, and our au thor produoes another book. You have the curiosity to road it, and are wonder-smitten at finding the difficult subject on which the Au thor, in your presence, had either notspoken, or spoken badly, fully and luminously discus sed—research and analysis, reflection and sa gacity, wit and pathos, wisdom and sentiment, poetry and philosophy, grace and earnestness, eloquence and refinement, all combining to il lustrate it admirably, all making a chef d’asuvre which delights tho Present and will fill tko Future with admiration. - • What, yon may ask, in utter wonderment— what an extraordinary difference between tilts man’s writing and his conversation; what : a curious duality oi mind, as it were, ia onoapd the same individual I Well, there is a differ ence.

One page leads to another, until bo has discussed tho subject in every point, anil, in dne season,.the oomplotcd production, be it article or book, is bofore the world, challenging its meed of approbation and enlightening fts heart. FOR THE PEOPLE, I. At a period not very remote, when author ship was more rare than it is now, when every twentieth person whom yon meet in society, has published a book or written in a periodi cal, there was a sort of mysterious halo about a man or woman who had appeared in print within bound “ boards,” and had actually been praised.by the critics. That mystory and re verence have gradually disappeared, in conse quence of the increase of authors. Tho old adage « Familiarity breeds contempt” may be qnoted.to explain the decadence.' The author ,i| no longer that authoritative « Sir Oracle,K whoso word was doom, who exercised a soft of dictatorship in his easy chair, whose opinion was law. Viewing society as it is, and looking back, through Boswellian specta cles, at what it was in the latter half of the last century—what it actually was, in England, while the battles of our Independence were being fought here—we must wonder at the uri qnestibned submission which, not ordinary ■gentlemen and ladies, bnt the ablest and most judges, politicians and clorgymen, artists and authors, rank and beauty, all placed themselves before him, and the benevolent ogre of lettors, though he sometimes growled, to show the depth of his voice, oitener, patted his subjects sn the head, and while he oracularly delivered lis opinion, not averse to that moderated op losition whioh scarcely reached tho extont of iontradiotion, was a happy mler, in the world if thonght. Repeatedly have we considered the qnes ion—how far, in that high society where Horary tastes largely prevail, though many f its members never have written a book, such l dictatorship as JonnsON held would now be oncedod? Wo believe that such an auto racy never again would bo peimitted. Mo* ern talkers abound, and, for the most part, te less they know the more they say. Joun >h was elaborate and sontentions—a ninety in line-of-battie-ship, which would have sdained a whole flotilla of such small craft : j l the prattling popinjays of conversation who • .orally swarm in each grade of modern so ety. Narrowed hie mind, ■nd to part/ gave tip what nu meant /or mankind. Antliors, ns Conversationists. HAv .would. assuredly be considered superior. One advantage is possessed by Brougham— he does notmonopollze the conversation, but permits others to chime in, and supply new materials for illustration. Macaulay, on the. contrary, seems possessed by a talking spirit, which no spell, human or divine, can exorcise. He is liko a machine which, wound up, must go on until it stops frpm sheer exhaustion of power. Macaulay's talk is brilliant, though diffuse. Its eternity is the. drawback. How keen was the satire of Sidney Smith, when, writing to a friend about Macaulay’s return, Rom India, he said “ he has come back much improved, and, last night, surprised as well as delighted us, with several brilliant flasbos of silence, RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE; Union Exemplified. We noticed briefly yesterday, that the indica tions'of praotio&l union at the nooniayprayer meeting, on Thursday, were of an extraordinary obnraoter. The foots arc as follows: As already stated j the Synods of the two branches of the Pres byterian Ohuroh were then In session in this city, and what is especially worthy of note, is thefaot that the formal union wbiob took place at that time in Sansom-treet Ohuroh,'woe without the slightest concert on the part of those respective bodies prior to its At a meeting of the Pennsylvania Synod (New School), on Wednes day evening, a member of that body made a mo tion to adjourn on the following day, for the pur pose of attending the Business Men’s Prayer meeting en masse , as an expression of their hearty endorsement of the great union movement ’• of wbioh these'meetings form so important a feature. This motion was unanimously accepted, and ;at the proper time carried into effect. : Meanwhile, at the approaoh of noon, on Thurs day, in the bynod of Philadelphia, (Old Sohool,) while that body was' engaged in devotional ser vices of an unusually interesting oharaeter, in an other part of the’olty, a motion was also madeito adjourn to tho Sansom-street Ohuroh prayer meet ing. Some opposition being made to this, how ever, it was subsequently refolved not to attend this meeting as a body., but as individuals, which was aooordingly done; and, judging from the pro ceedings wbioh followed, their unexpected’meet ing with their New Sohool brethren, on entering the Ohuroh,’was ho less gratifying than surprising to both parties. '’ the formal introduction to the audfenoe of the Synod of Pennsylvania was given by tho Rev. Dr. Br&inerd in befitting terms, wbioh were reoiprooated with great cordiality by the Old Sohool branch, through the Rev. Dr. Deyborn, at the olose of whoso remarks Dr. Brainerd, in preßonoo of the large congregation assembled, ex tended to Dr. Leyburn tho right hand of Christian fellowship, expressing the hope that the blessing of God might descend alike upon all schools that loved the Saviour. ; At this point the Rev. John Chambers, of the Independent Presbyterian Charoh, offered a fer vent prayer in behalf of the two branches of the Ohuroh thus met together, and the Irish Presby terian Charoh, two of whose representatives wore then in attendance. Following this, an address of great power and tenderness was made by Pro fessor Gibson, of Belfast, in which he spoke with evident emotion of the growing feeling of Chris tian brotherhood pervading the oharohes in this country, and hoped that the day was not far dis tant when the same' happy state of things would prevail in Ireland After sandry exhortations, in whioh several thrilling incidents were related, by Roverends Aaikman, of Wilmington, Breed of tbiis city, and others, George H Stuart, Esq., suggest ed that the entire congregation should spend three minutes in sliest prayer, whereupon the Rev. Mr Carden—recently from Canada —who, it will be .re membered, not long since introduced a proposition which came very near disturbing the denomina tional harmony of'those meetings, rose, and to the mortification of mariy present engaged in a strain rather calculated to inflame than to sootho the former rupture. At the dose of the meeting a large number of the' obrgy remained to spend a few moments In social congratulation upon }he, unexpected ex emplification of ohuroh unity .wo have bore de of Wilmington; Philadelphia, 3d;,Philadelphia, 4 th; and Harrisburg, and embrsolng nearly twelve thousand oommunioants, met in the Green Hill Presbyterian Church,, on Tuesday evening, the 19th instant, at half*pi3t seven o’clock. ( The opening sermon, by Rev. E J. Richards, of Reading, was an exceedingly able discussion of “ Christianity a Life.* 1 .The Synod was consti tuted by tlie election of Rev. George Foot,of Wil mington, Moderator, and of Reverend Mossrs. Mallery and Hutchins, clerks. The great ohuroh interests—of Missions, Home and Foreign; of Pub* lioatlon, and of Education for the ministry reoeived a large share of attention. The sympa thies of Bynod with, the union religlousmovements ef the day were also frequently brought into view, and which, as it will be found stated in an other artiolo, found a signal and very happy ex*; pression in their adjournment, on Thursday, for the express purpose of mingling, as a body, in the ser vices of the business men’s prayer meeting, at Sansom-stroet Ohuroh *Tbe narrative of tho state of religion within bounds of Synod contained gra tifying evidence of large accessions to tho mem* | bership, and bore unmistakable testimony to the power and extent of the revival now in progress.' On Thursday evening a largo congregation uni-' ted with Synod in oelobrating the Lord’s Supper, whioh oooasion was rendered the more interesting, by the presence of Reverends McClure and Gib- ! son, the Irish delegation. Norristown was soleat-, ed as the next place of meeting, in October, 1859. Philadelphia Phesbvterun Synod (Old' School )—This body convened at the West Aroh**’ street Presbyterian ohuroh, corner of Eighteenth; and Aroh streets, (Rev. Hr. Edwards’s,) on Thurs-' day afternoon, the members having previously met at the same place for a social prayer, preparatory to entering upon their synodical du ties. The Synod was organized by electing the Rev. John Gray, H. D., of Easton, Moderator, by acclamation, and Reverend Messrs. James W., Duke and John Thomas clerks. This distinction oonferred upon Hr. Gray was no unmerited com-! pliooent, and will doubtless be so appreciated by the large congregation at Easton, over which he has so long presided, with oredit to himself and satisfaction to his people! Soon after the organi zation had been effected, an invitation was ex tended to Reverends McClure and Gibson, of Ire land, to address tbe Synod, upon whioh both these gentlemen made brief addresses, in whioh the existing state of the ohuroh in their own country was delineated. At the olOßeof these addresses tho Moderator responded in appropriate terms, woloomtng these gentlemen to our shores, and ex pressive of the sympathy of his brothron in tbis country with tho labors of thoir brethren abroad. A large portion of tho morning session yeator day was taken up in discussing the present con dition and future prospects of the institution, in augurated by the General Assembly, in 1849, for tho relief ef disabled olergymen, and the needy widows and orphan ohildron of deceased ministers; some holding that it was the duty of congrega tions to support thoir own disabled ministers, and make provision for their families; and others con tending that it was the duty of the Synod to take care of their brethren. The motion to sustain this oharitablo institution was, however, finally adopted by a unanimous vote. In the oourso of tho morning tho Synod wrs addressed by tho Rov. Wilson MoPhail, H. H , president of Lafayotto College, at Easton, in whioh ho gave a flattering aooount of its prosent prosperous condition. A resolution was passed desiring tho Board of Edu cation to appropriate $2OO annually to this insti tution. The subject of Ohuroh Commentary of the Holy Soriptures was made the spooiol business for 9 o’olook this morning. ArrBALOP the Central Home Mission.—An appeal has just boon made in behalf the Young Men's Central Homo Mission of Philadelphia, whose hold of operations, os many of our readers are Aware, has beeq for the last five yoars in one of the most negleoted localities in our oity—the vioinity of Bedford and Baker, streets. From the great good that agency has already accomplished, at an annual espouse not exceeding three thousand dollars, the Christian community* wo are sure, will not willingly seo it languish now for wantof moans. We learn, from the most oredit&ble sources, that since the establishment of this Mission, about two hundred persons have, through its agenoy, pro fessed conversion, many of whom are now active and efficient members of church. The plan of ope rations, confined as ifc is mainly to the destitute, is to minister to temporal wants of those they seek to benefit, as well as to their spiritual needs.’ We are authorized testate that donations in aid of this Mission may be sent to E. 6.
