14 SynARIS AND OTHER. HOMES " from the'
pen of llev. E. E. Flafe, opens with a fancy sketch
of this old Italian town, which the author seems
to h av e visited in his dreams. Its reputation
for luxury he ascribes to the jealousy of its
7ighbors, and be describes its social arrange
pleas as the perfection of comfort and good
tense. He is always keeping in eye those of
some American cities which are not so excellent
in this respb4, and indeed the whole article is a
good-hurt:Ora satire. The idea is that which

Tennyson; a story by kary - Russell Mitford; a

be looked through or only into. The former is
the view of The Spectator; the latter view is
favored by Archbiahop Trench,

their source.
—Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, who for severa

"To pastors all and singular, living in cities
not larger than our own beloved Elmira, we say :
Go to your city newspaper, cotton in with the
editor and proprietor, fish an invitation to edit
a column in his paper, put into the preparation
of that column more labdr than you do into a
sermon. For by -that one column you sensibly
reach, and mould, and educate more minds than
by all your pulpit work. And, not least, most of
)ou, my brethren, if you, will consent to write
for a newspaper, and take the knocks and rough
and tumble of it, will find it advantageous to
your style of thought and writing. You will
get rid of long words and long sentences, in
volutions and cant. He who learns to write a
valuable newspaper article will find a sermon a
very easy writing indeed. The greater prepares
for the less."

minds of them Which believe not," &c. Any
Greek scholar must see how far the text has been
wrested in this rendering, and even English

is " If our Gospel be hid, 41; hid by the things

THE CATHOLIC WORLD ON THE MODER-
ATOP'. LETTER TO THE POPE.
The November number of Father' Hecker's
Magazine— The Clotho& Wor/cl = contains a very
courteous review of the Letter addressed to the
Pope by Moderators. Jacobni and Fowler, at the
direction, of the two General Assemblies. , The
writer describes himself as a, son of a former Mo
derator of one of the Assemblies. We quote
his opening paragraphs :
The Presbyterians of the United States are
quite distinct from the Congregationalists of New
Ergland, the descendants of the English Puri
tans, although' the two fraternize together to a
great extent. The Presbyterian Church is the
daughter '.of the Kirk. of Scotland, having 'its
home in the Middle States, whence, it has spread
through the country, especially toward the West.
Its government is. more .vigorous than that of
any other Church, except the Methodist, aid'
*doctrinal strictness surpasses that of all other
large societies. Its clergy number about five
thousand; having, we bclieve, somewhere near a
half a million of communicants, and three or
four times as many members in a looser sense.
It is, on the whole, the first denomination' as
regards respectability, taking the country gener
ally, in all its periods. of history; and if we reck
on its allies, the Dutch. Reformed and_Congre
gationalist societies, with it, as representing the,
Calvinistic phase of Protestantism, this is the
system which has possessed the same 'Vantage
ground in the British colonies•of the f United
States that the Episcopal. Church- has taken ia
England. Some thirty years ago, the Presby
terian body split into two great divisions by
meNns of a dispute about rigid and moderate
Calvinisin,'and rigid or lax enfornement of the
Presbyterian; polity: The two General Assem
blies which, recently ,met in this,;eity, adopted a
plan,of reunion which will probably receive ge
n'er'aln accepcanee, and fuse the Old and New
Shool Presbyterians 'together again in one
body:; • ;,` • '
The letter to the. Pope / proceeds from the two
Assemlilies,,actiqg , through, their . respective . Mo
derators in virtue of a. reselution : which
,pcissed
both houses, which explains the. Net that it ii
signed by' two distinct presiding Cffiders. With
these few prefatory remarks, we pass to the con ,
sideration of the document itself.:
We are very, glad that the Presbyterian ,As
semblies have replied to the pontifiCal letter. We
are sure that all daltnly reflecting'-persons will
agree that in doing, so they have fulfilled an ob
ligation of bienseance required by a sense both
of the dignity .of the Roman See and of their own
respectability. They have shown, therefore,
more courtesy, 'and more 'self-respect than either
the Eastern patriarchs or the Prote,stant Episco
pal bishops, and; sd to speak, have taken the wa
ter of their •haughty, rival, the General Conven
tion. The tone of the document, is remarkably
dignified and courteous, and it will undoubtedly
be 80 considered by the prelates of the Council
and the Holy Father. ':We would suggest to'the
gentlemen whose, signatures_ are appended, the
propriety of making an authentic translation of
the document , into the Latin language, and of
sending this, with the original, in an official
manner, properly certified, to Rome. The, editor
of the Evangelist seems to apprehend that the
addressinc , of this letter to the Pope might be
deemed officious or impertinent. We can assure
him, however, and all other persons concerned;
that this is by no means the case. , The address
of the Pope
,to all Christians •not in his com.
munion, was no mere formality, but perfectly
sincere and in earnest. The Nestorian and Eu
tychian, as well as the Greek bishops, were invi
ted to present themselves at the, Council, al
though these are far less orthodox on the'funda
mental doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation
than the Presbyterian AssemblieP have proved
themselves to be, by their full confession of
agreement with the faith of the Roman Church
on these articles. It is true that the above
mentioned bishops were invited on
,a different
footing, not merely as Christians, but as bishops.
The reason of this is, that their episcopal charac
ter is, recognized and• does not need, to, be preyed ?
Therefore, all they have to do is to purge them
selves of heresy and schism in order to be en
titled, ipso facto, to take their places as constitu
ent, members of the Council, with right of voting,
which will most certainly not be otherwise con
ceded to them. The Protestant bishops could
not be invited as bishops, beca r use their episco
pal character is not recognized. If some of
them should appear to put in their claim, we
have no doubt, ,from the tenor of the letters pub
lished in the English Catholic papers, that they
would be received with great respect and con Si-.
deration, and he allowed to argue their cause
either before the Council or a special aongrega
don. It is not yet too late for some of them,
who have, sufficient courage and confidence in
their cause, to do it, and we hope they will.
Presbyterian Protestants make no claim to epis
copal succession or ordinatitm. Conaequently
they, by their own admission, must , be regarded
by the Council, and ley all whO idhere to the
hierarchical principle on *high , the first FilS
councils were constituted, as destitute of any
right to a position above that of laymen. Never-

bishops or presbyters in episcopally governed
Protestant societies, and therefore entitled to re
spect and consideration. No doubt they would
receive all this were they to present themselves
at the Council as representatives of their reli
gious societies.
Of course, a council cannot consent to treat
as open questions any matters already defined
by previous councils, or enter into a controver
sial discussion of doctrines with men, who like
Dr. Cumming, would wish to go there as cham
pions of Protestantism. The only attitude in
which it would be proper to appear
,at a council,
would be that of persons asking for an explana
tion of the Catholic doctrines, and of the motives
on which they are based, which implies dispo
sition to reconsider anew the grounds of the ori
ginal separation. That this disposition does not
exist, at present, Ty extensively, we are well
aware, and cannot, therefore, expect that there
will be at the approaching, Council any thing
like a conference of the heads of Protestantism.
with the Catholic prelates. There may be other
councils, however, at -no very, distant period,
where this may take place with very great ad-:
vantage, and with the happiest results' id" renni:
ting all Christians within the one fold of Christ'S
Church: It is something, ho*ever, to''get'froirr
a great religious society like the Presbyterian
body of the' United States, a .formal statement ,of
the reason why they, remain separated fr' mu the
Catholic Church, in the 'shape of a letter to 'the ,
Pope. Such a stafeini6 . nt has fury great interest`
and great weighi;atid the document before us is
certainly far superior' to the, encyclical of the
Pan-Anglican: Synod, or the other manifestoes of
a similar kind which have been issued : from va
rious Protestant assemblies.

Rev. T. K. Beecte:r Was" left 'a home a fe*

rience with a higher idea—of woman's work and

The quietfidelity with which„'.' she will dish
water her life away for is a ; marvel of
endurance and grace: 'Just here is tlie servitude
of woman heaviest ;--rto sootier 'is her work done
than it requires to be done - again. Man works
up jobs, ends them and takes his pay. This pay
can be, translated into, something else, desirable.,
A man works allday, and draws payfor his day's
work. This "pay dllures him, as oats a horse'
homeward bound.. Thus men Work by, terms and

tity,.yet•when cut up thus into .terms and jobs,

Not only, have we washeit dishes, but we also'
cooked and served and helped eat a meal, (with
'bated appetite because of cooking) and now .we
are astounded at: the, number of thoughts, and
steps, and acts, and processes, involved in a very
plain supper. Only two of 'us, jolly Cronies,
caring, nothing fora style, and needing only a
Very plain supper. And we had it, and with' it
came wisdom: • •
Gentlemen all, all I, We go, into a, room 'and
see a table ready . set. It seems to us one thing—
a supper—lt is in fact, from fiftyto two hundred
separate things, taken down one by one for us
to use, and for " her ". to wash and put back
whence they came. There is a plate of biscuit.
To that plate' of simplieity we „with our own
hands and feet brought- together a new, quick
fire for baking, viz., kindling wood, raking the
stove, and hod orcoal. Flour from the bin, ShOt
tening from the gravy drip down cellar, salt from
one box, sugar from, another, Oda from the jar,
acid (muriatic) from a bottle, a epoon, a pitcher
of water . ,
,a, dripping pan, and, a tin pan for mix
ing these ingredients ; and After all, happening
to 'forget the things fbr ten minutes, we -burned
the biscuit half through in a way which , we men
reckon quite unpardonable in a' cook. Mean
while that one plate, of biscuit added to the eter
nal dish-wash, two spoons, two. pans, one plate,
and a little cup. Just a little piece of steak
contributed eight pieces to the dishwash. A f e w,
strawberries sent in six pieces to be got ready
to soil again. - Four eggs impressed themselves
on, six separate articles. „
Gentlemen, we began at, ten minutes of six,
and a quarter to eight we found 'ourselves tri
timphant—everything cleared away except the
dish-cloth.• You , see we washed Up , the bread
pan, the sink pan, •and the dish, scalding them
all, (and our fingers ,too,) and dried them off
with the dish cloth. Now, where on ,earth can
we go to wash out that dish-rag?
,Not in the
clean pan! Not over the clean' dry sink !. We
stood aghast for five minutes, and' then wadded
up the rag, round like a ball,- and tucked it into
the far corner of the sink, and shut down the
cover- Our sink has a cover. But that rag;
though, hidden was heavy On `our "conscience.
"She" never would have done so. We have
seen clean dish-cloths, but how they washed
them, passes our skill.
And so,:as we said, she." is away, leaving us
to thought and good, resolutions. We shall be a
wiser and a better man for at least two dayS after
her teturn. And whenever we stop to think,
shall rank a. successful housekeeper and home
maker, as a worker second to none On a-scale of
achievement and deserving. ~-Her services are
like the, air, the , rain and the sUnshine, mdis

—=-The annual report of gar - P.:P. Miasion
House in West Philadelphia, shows , 'that there
are now fourteen students in- the litlisslon House,
and the Institution is" ready equipped and man
ned to enter on 24 career of eminent usefulness:"
The report says : ".1v the years of, experieuees
through which. we now have passed we have
learned, teachers and managers, some practical
lessons respecting the conduct of the House,
which we did not so well know at first. More
discrimination will be gxercised in the admission
of pupils; a more vigilant watch will be kept up
on their outside associations, and the social influ
ence: of the 'House' will contribute more to im
bue all with a devout and intelligent at
tachment to the distinctive doctrines, order and
worship 0.. our Church, to which some of its
students horoto Tore had been strangers." The
Episcopalian's comment is : " Sectarian bigotry
and exclusive attendance upon one form of wor 7 ,
ship are not the best training for a Foreign Mis
sionary. We have not the least idea that the
reverend instructors mean to enjoin such doc
trines, but the language is open to remark and
should excite rigid inquiry. But whatever is
meant, the end sought is to keep the students
from leaving the House, and forming other con-
sections Last year some withdrew 'from the
institution, from' the foreign missionary field, and
from our Church, if in the latter point we are
not misinformed. The ages of all the members
of the Mission House are given. Five are .25
years of age; the remaining nine range frcith 2b

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.
Hon: •Henry Wilson in an address lately
said: "In spite of ,much that is discouraging,
and an increase of rinkingin some circles, on
the whole there is great progress. There was
five times as much drinking in Congress when he,
entered the 3Senate, fourteen years ago, as, there
is now. When the, rebels left, they,tooka great
deal of the 'liquor away with them.;, - and those
thaehad now come into Congress from the South
have not brought so much back'with them. Li
quor-shops are now .banished: from the National
Capitol. ~This.is a new thing, and a great im
provement. There are also six thousa.nd.pledged
temperance men in Washington. Two•-thirds of
the dram : shops havialso been closed. And he
th'ank'ed God that we now have a President of
these:United States' who does , mot drink a drop;
and a Vice-President who does not drink; and a.
Secretary of, the Treasury who is i a temperance
man, and who is not in league with the whiskey
ring. 'We already see something of the effect of
this, in - the 'improved condition of the revenue
and the Treasury."
—The government >of Gothenburg—a city in
Swedea—lave for many years decreed, (1) that.
the keeper of a tavern shall not sell drink by
itself, but only as part of a ineal—in ether Words,,
that it shall be a hotel and not 'a 'grog-shop; (2,)•
that Shall have no profit from the sale of alco
holic liquors; but derive his income only from the
sale,of food, coffee, etc.,. and .the, supply, of lodg
ings. A percentage of one and one-half is al
lowed indeed • - but it is, regarded only as the
• equivalent for the trouble and loss in dispensing
the drink, the hcenses.being granted to a' commu
nity of 'benevolent men, who hand ,over the pro
fits to.the town.., The innkeepers are prohibited,
from selling liquor on credit; but they are, left
to ,please, themselVes ad regards the sale of food.'
Mr. S. A. Hedland; the' editor of the' Journal of

of the

Churches in Chicago::— ,
Of our ten New School Presbyterian churches,,
all have, or are- to have, pastors. Olivet has
called Rev. S. Nichols: of Victor, N. Y.,
who has accepted the call: "Olivet and Calvary
are now, in a >position te : , take a leading place
among the hosts of Israel. The Second, Dr.
Pattersou's,' is already surrounded with stores,
and must remove or die.' It voted removal last
winter, but on account Of opposition, put -it; in
abeyance. It • will go with the next trial. But
where, is the question: It'will have te take its
chances with, the,rest of the up•town congrega
tions. The ,First 'Church, Mr. Mitchell's ; is
beginning sensibly to feel' the influences which
haire so long affected the Second. Its people are
getting away from it, and it may have, ere long,
to stretch its neck southward also. The Old
School churches, of which there are six, none of
them very strong, and I hear speculations of
union of some of them with some of ours as the
result of the greater union, now as good as con
summated. There are three Scotch churches,
the United Presbyterian, the Associate Reformed,
and the Free. But all are weak, and serve only
as funnels to pour their members into the Pres
byterian. There are also two Reformed Dutch ;
that is, if the Holland one is yet alive. Thus
all the Presbyterian churches in the city num
ber twenty-one. Besides these there are ten
Congregational, of various grades, one of which
is building a very large stone edifice, intended
to be, I believe, the largest building of any
Protestant congregation in the' city. Its pews
are to be many, and cheap, to . accommedate the
multitude.
—The Old and Nevi ;School Presbyterian
Churches at Oxford, 0., have taken preliminary

well "to have one strong and efficient, instead
of two' comparatively weak -and uninfluential
Churches." The . two pastors, Rev. Alexander
