Tbce words have been memorable to me ever ince I first heard them pronounced by a peon's washerwoman, who, next to sitting, down to a hot dish of tea, with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, e u)ojcd nothing on earth bo much as conversation in respect to her own and her neighbors' souls. Indeed, she used to speculate upon the condition of jour soul as though it was so much cheese, and whether you were sound or unsound, would not long remain undlscoveied by her, If you once came within the sweep of the radius represented by Aunt Tolly's wash-brash handle. "Chile," Bhe used to say, pausing In her white-washing, with a look of solemn adjuration, "Chile, your soul was made for better lings than to go dancing around in the Devil's den forever and for ever, through all elernity, like a hen on a hot griddle." And, troth to tell, Aunt Pollj's words had all the power due to a rude and grotesque picturesqueoess. I am led to these apparently disconnected remarks by the fact that John Allen, who, like another great man, awoke one morning and found himself famous, Is announced at con Verted aud on the road to glory. The sobriquet of the "Wickedest," only continues to be be stowed upon him because it was by that ho achieved his greatness just as the voluptuous Feliclta will always be known as Vestvall the magnificent, aud Edwin Forrest as the eminent, and Lucille Western as the young, the talented, and the beautiful. And now one word about his sincerity. Dou't you. dear Philadelphia public in writing to whom I always feel at home, be lieve that this rcpentaut dance-house keeper is sincere. You know his history, .from first to last, as well as I do. Copious ex tracts lrom the New York newspapers have Informed you who aud what he is, and here you have the fact staring you in the face, that he has abandoned his old business and is trying to act as' though he heard "Etor nity 1" ringing perpetually in his ears. Ills late dance house will be the nucleus of a revival, which, if managed rightly, and not pushed with indiscreet zeal, may embrace thousands of the sin-soaked blnnera of New York. If John Allen sticks to his promise aud bis prayers, be might go around among the infected human brutes of Water street, a living bottle of moral and reli glous carbolic acid, the mouth unstoppcred and the acid flowing forth like balm, to heal and sweeten the dark places. In questions ot thlb delicate and dangerous nature, it is easy to cay that such a line of conduct ought to be pursued, but difficult to feci that what we say is true. Many of the religious and well-meaning frequenters of these Water street prayer-meetings, some of the most sweet and spotless ladies and gentlemen in New York fail from a lack of knowledge of that phaie of religious life, and of the tact necessary for them to successfully address themselves to the men and women there who have sunk so low, that to sink lower Would seem impossible. Yet even an imperfect piety, a low plane of religion are better than no piety and religion at all. To one who bus ob served much, and thought much upon subjects akin to this, it will be apparent, that of all the multitudinous religions throughout the world, those in which, sincerity predominates must be most acceptable to that preat Instigator of creation whom we call God. 1 do not expect the narrow ritualist to find the smallest moJicum of heavenly joy when be reads that John Allen is converted at last. But thousands in this city, among the Methodists aud Baptist.", probably, more thtn among the religious of other denominations, will sbed tears of sacred joy on earth, and so keep time with the angels in heaven, who are said to take an interest in repentant reprobates. These low levels of religion address themselves to people whose minds and morals are on a low level; and it is better that John Allen should turn out to be officious in the pulpit, thau that he should lemain profane behind the bar. And bince I am on religion, permit me to observe that now that the watering-places have collapsed, the religious interests generally are cropping out again. Tne home missions are being contributed to; the open air preachings have lately been largely attended, though I hope that hearts have not been warmed at tne expense of colds in the bead; Catholic, EpUco pal, Congregational, and Reformed Churches re being opened subsequent to the lobbies bolog repainted, the aisles rcmatted, and engagements effected (at an immense outlay 1) with first-class solos and choristers. In fact, the outside of the cup and platter is beautiful to look upon, and if, inside, all Is rotteuaess, why the temples of God In this city are do worse thau His temples else where. That funny, wrinkled, white-haired, witty, simple-hearted ventnloquial prestidigitatour Bignor Blitz is at Dod worth Hall here, enchant ing youngsters as completely as bis brilliant daughter, Madame Van Zandt, is enchanting more fabtidlous audiences in London, Paris, Stockholm, St. Petersburg and where not? Has he published bis autobiography yet? I thought perhaps he might have done so in a surreptitious manner (so to speak) in Philadel. phia, instead of appealing at once, through the liberal-minded Carletou (I can't say whether the latter is as liberal pocketed), to the broad and genial sympathies of Gotham. That autobiography, which to my certain knowledge has been under way for years, would certainly find hundreds perhaps I might say thou" sands of readers in Philadelphia ; and if the rhetoilcal grace with which they are delivered Is half as pleasant as the native grace with which he tells them, I am pretty certain he will please young and old alike. How old Falstaff Hackett is I do not pretend to tay, but he is surely old enough to have grown out of his own memory. At any rate ue has made engaKemeuts to appear in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and finally iu London, atter having finished a shooting expedi tion in the west. So I suppose in due time he Will be trotting around to the Walnut Street Theatre, as if there was no such thing as death, aud tine's sickle had lost its edge. Lydta Thompson is here, and from the accounts whicn foreign papers five of the effect of hi r attractions abroad, we must expect to find her path of triumph through the States slrewn with the corpses ("minded" of course) of Bulcides aud duellists. 1 dou't know whether Mbs Thompson ever does such a plebeian tulu as to ride in a Broadway static. As sjmo very frreat people, however, occasionally do this earn thiu, would lain hooe that it was Miss Lydia's fure was the fare I had the honor of hauding up last Saturday, from the hands of a lady, who was "disUnguishedly" attired, and who I tee 1 morally certain was an actress. Her silk orcs, striped with white and Mack, bhe gathered around her as bhe seated her self i'i the staue, with that urUessness Vi which, only an actress auairis. iier underskirts were most piaoorateiy ptiuen ana milled; she wore an exquisite black lani shawl, buff-colored kid sloven, a large blue bow, with bioid fringed, edges, in contract with the low throated dark 2r". ,nd a dark hat trimmed with blue. She bad the look of a lady and the glanourof an actress too. Without being In the loan brazen, she preserved that cold composure which women attain after being looked at every nlaht, vear after year, through thousands of lorgnettes. Lastly, she had two yellow-covered play bioks in her hand. One of them was "Fazio." The name of the other escaped my eye. She got in at Eleventh street and out at Niblo's, and wherein she went afterward or may po here after, I tay "God go with her." Ali 13 aba. What tho People Say. To the Editor of the Evening Te egraph-8r: You have my tbanks for publishing the card irom some generous friend who rejoices in the now de piume. "A Seeker after Truth." I beg of you let me tell him and my Irieods everywhere that lam in no hurry for a seat in Cong :e.. If I ever go there, it will not be to serve myself, but to serve, first, my country; second, my friends. It is generally known that, having been rather Impulsive and uufanbloiiabiy independent in politics, I am now cnjoying.with aflthe "modest stillness and humility" of which I am capable, ihe two years of probation to which I was con signed by the wise men of the Republican party. No honest man ever charged me with seit aggrandizement at the expense of the public service. I am too old in the dCblre to serve my country to learn that patriotism Is a trade or to make politics pay. Heucv Carev lisnd to tail m festina lente was a good motto. I am hastening very siowiy, out 1 can stand It if the people can. The triumph of that areat cause for which the Great Commoner lived and for which Abraham Lincoln died is ten thousand times dearer to me thau the hope of the highest office In the land. When the great Republican train wh'stles down brakes, and takes me aboard as enclncer or brakesman I will be there; but whether that train ever stops for me or not, I am content. ours, for the country, J.
