Urligion and Ammemrnt.
Much attention Las been excited bf an able
and tii'ijnent sermon by the Rv Robert
Laird Collier, a distinguished Unitarian olnr
gyniau of Chicago, distending draina and
operatio entertaiiinients from the aspersion
made gainst them by many religious pr
BODf, and advocating thbm not only a allord
ing tint bfst means of rehxation and rational
eujoj Hifut to people too muoh tasked In body
and mind by hard work, aa moat Amerloand
are, but aa really calculated to promote tb.
cause of morality and Christianity, if rightly
uaed and properly coudncttd. Mr. Collier was
i ndttoed to deliver thla dieoourae beoause of a
very ill adrited address issued by the Mi ma
terial Union of Chicago, which called upon
the LegMature to pasa laws prohibiting th)
amusements which they condemned, and ap
pealing to the press to support the in in the
pobitiou which they had taken. Without
stopping to inquire whether there might not
be some good in the drama and opera which
society could not well afford to lose, or
whether practical measures could not be
adopted for doing away with things that have
been complained of as objectionable, or in
quiring how much reason there really was in
the objections usually made against the
theatres, the Ministerial Union proposed
to do away with the whole thing, root and
branch. As a matter of course, this action
deprived the appeal of the Union of any influ
ence it might have had, and Mr. Collier, being
a theatre and opera-goer himself as well aa a
clergyman, disputes the capacity of his minis
terial brethren to sit ia judgment on a matter
about whioh they are not sufficiently well in
formed to be able to have intelligent opinions.
And it is for just this reason that the opposi
tion of religions people to the theatre has no
weight whatever with the world at large, or
with that intelligent and thoughtful class of
play-goers who are willing to listen to any
arguments' founded on reason and knowledge,
and who wish to see the drama ranked among
the fine arts, and fulfil its mission as an edu
cator of publio taste as well as affording mere
amusement for overtasked humanity. That
amusements are necessary no student of
human nature will probably deny, and this
neoesaity is acknowledged by our best clergy
men and most devoutly religious men when
they get up a Sunday School picnic or
organize a church fair for the purpose
of allowing the young people oonneoted
with their places of worship to have
a frolio. Whether such entertainments
are better calculated to promote the oause of
religion and good morals than those usually
given within the walls of our theatres, it is not
our present purpose to disease; but experi
ence ha. amply demonstrated that the taste
for dramatic performances is more largely de
veloped than for almost any other form of
publio amusement, and that the drama sup
plies a desideratum that cannot be filled in
any other manner. To dramatic performances
in the abstract it is impossible that any real
objection can be made, and it is an absurdity
to suppose that there is anything more harm
ful in ceeiDg one of Shakespeare's plays rep
resented on the stage than there is to read it
in the closet or in the family circle, unless
there is something demoralizing in the very
atmosphere of a theatre which should oause
good men to shun it. And this
Is the very ground that the opponents
of the theatres take; for fathers of families
Who will enoourage their sons and daughters
to study Shakespeare as one of the best books
in existence after the Bible, will not permit
their children to witness the dramas
of the great poet of human nature as
expounded by such artists as Forrest or Booth,
for fear that some nnknown evil may conta
minate them and sap the principles of virtue
whioh it has been their earnest effort to instil.
That muoh of this opposition to the opera
and drama is to be attributed merely to igno
rance and a traditional prejudioe against the
stage, which has no real foundation at the
present day, whatever it may have had in the
reign of Charles II, for instance, every intelli
gent theatre-goer well knows.
We never have and never expect to advo
cate or apologize for immorality or indecency
on the stage, and if we defend the drama it is
because we believe that its Influence, all in all,
is for good. Even the so-called "sensation"
plays and spectacles have their use, for they
appeal to a class of tastes that would not
appreciate the higher order of performances;
and if they contain nothing objectionable, they
are not to be condemned merely because men
of the highest culture can see nothing enter
taining in them.
For a young man to spend all his evenings
in visiting the theatres would, la most in
stances, be a great waste of time, as it would
if he did nothing bnt lounge about in picture
galleries or read blood-and-thunder novels.
But those who abuse their privileges are not
Bo large a proportion of the regular theatre
goers that we could advocate closing the places
of publio amusement on their acoount, espe
cially as there is no better or equally aa good
way provided for them to spend their leisure
moments.
Mr. Collier, as the text of the sermon to
which we have alluded, takes the words of St.
Paul, in the thirty-first verse of that remarka
tle dUcoure la the seventh chapter of First
CoiUiUiUuta, ia wUok h give soma aa-
fetsedly uninspired advice, whioh professing
Christians from that day to thla have gene
rally been content to disregard in substation,
but his admonition to "Use this world as not
abusing it," whioh is the gist of the whole
chapter, is not more app'ioable to anything
than to this very matter of theatrical amuse
ments. Mr. Collier states the oaae plainly and
nnderstandiDgly in the fol'owiug paragraphs:
"iHCountae an universal lit the race the dr
luailo liihULOt. X Lave traood In lulit pulpit IQ;

And, after speaking of the profound impres
sion made upon him by Mr. Jefferson's exqtii
bite ptreonatiou of "Rip Van Winkle," he
says:
"I wonder who unions tbe MlntMlerlal Union
ever haw Jt-ttVison la "Kip Van Wiuklt-?' Lat

think, say that, so far aa tbe legiutnaie opera In
cencerued, any one who ohjeoie to it,, on moral
gioundH, id usl either be ignorant of 11 1 ILilntt,
lor the mi.at part, that those who objo' to lue
opt i a me or there certainly mtint.be a mor.il
weakness in the nature of suou objector. To
iny that the opera ia corrupting U to say
the most Irrational and foiiuu thing that
I tip human llt.a are capable of. I my
Ifcal a man must be- Ignorant of wh.it the
opera If; must have been wholly without the
knowledge of It, or ele brought tolls hearing
a lMkclvloua nature to begin with, I admit lint
very many excellent persons do not enjoy the
opera. Not ODly excellent people morally, bat
cultivated people Intellectually, do not eejoy
l he o) era. Many of our finest minds go to me
opera and come away, feeling it was a wane of
time, and we who cun enjoy it in any wise, be
It ever so little, ought to feel a profound sorrow
for sucb people, because they do not kuovr the
Infinite delights and joys of which, by their
luck of musical culture, tuey are deprived, lint
It la their duty Mmply to any they do not like It.
It Is a sorry religion that rejects It on the sour
grape principle; because they cannot they won't
let an body else."
There is good common sense as well as true
religion iu the following:
"It la no legto with which lotueeta young
mp.n starting out lu life, who has Ideas of hU
own, and wants reasons for every thing that he
does, that he in to r fraln from amusements
because they Are liable to be abused. Let us
meet nim right, and siy: 'Sir, you are to use
the di'uinn, you tire to use the Opera, you are to
ute the cards you are to use dancing, you are to
use everything; but yi.u are to abuse nothing,
liecause you cuu go to the legitimate drama it
U no .license for yuu to feast your eyes upon
vulgarities anywhere; and because you can play
euros in your bouse, it is no reason that you
havn a license to go to the g;uniug table, and
filsy lor other people's money without return,
ng values any wt.ere.' This Is the lesson. Lut
us teach our youth tlntt these things can be
need, and w hen ubiued the penalties of sin will
Just as surely follow them aa Ood has said,
'Whatsoever a mansoweth that shall he also
reup. If be sow to the spirit, of the spirit be
hall reap everlasting life; anil if he sow to the
flcsb, of the lleth he shall reap damnation.' "
Mr. Collier disapproves of what he style8
the "sensation" and ' illegitimate" drama,
and his opinions on this point are entitled
to a respectful consideration, although we are
inclined to think that he has, in a great mea
sure at least, allowed his Individual tastes to
influence his judgment.
That there is never anything said or done
on the boards of our theatres of an objection
able character we do not pretend to say, bat
if the theatres had the oountenanoe and sup
port of the religious portion of the community
all cause for complaint would soon bo done
away with; and it is because this oountenanoe
is withheld, and because the aotors as well as
the theatres are put under a ban and social
ostraoism, that an improper license is some
times permitted. We say sometimes, because
the causes for complaint on this score are not
by any means as frequent as is commonly
assumed by persons who know nothing at all
about the matter.
This subject is worthy of the attentive con
sideration of all persons who have at heart
the promotion of the cause of morality and re
ligion, and we have alluded to it not so much
for the purpose of defending the theatres as
to excite the attention of those who we think
ought to use their influence for the purpose
of elevating the character of the most popular
entertainments of the day rather than for
denouncing them, bringing them into discre
dit, and consequently degrading them. The
Ministerial Union of Chicago would ba en
gaged in a much worthier work, and
one much more likely to be successful,
if they would imitate Mr. Collier's example,
and inform themselves by personal observa
tion, and by disoussion of the questian with
intelligent theatre-goers, what there is really
good or bad in the drama and opera, and then
exert themselves to do away with any objec
tionable features that might be brought to
their notice, and to raise the standard of ope
ratic and dramatio entertainments instead of
denouncing them wholesale.
We wish particularly to impress upon the
minds of any persons who may read this arti
cle that we have no intention of sneering at
the efforts of the Chicago ministers in what
they believe to be the cause of virtue,
morality, and religion; but we think sincerely
that they have gone the wrong way to work,
and we wish to present the subject in what
we couuider a proper light to the religious
people of Philadelphia, with a view of in
ducing them to think and act intelligently
with regard to a matter of no small im
portance. "Kickiso a Dead Lion." Under this very
modest title, "T. W.," the Lobby King of New
York, contributes the following elegant para
graph to the columns of the Commercial Ad
vertiser: "No other animal than a donkey would klek
a dead lion. We regret for the honor of the
Phiiudelnhla Dress that a brute should be per
mitted to play the hyena through the columns
of Tub Evening rLuBAPH."
We think that the rebuke whioh is here In
tended to be conveyed by "T. W." is rather
obsoure, bnt suppose that it has some refer
ence, near or remote, to oar reoent insinuation
that "T. W." would return from his Wash
ington ttlp "with a gtiantio fla in hU ear."
'T. W." ms U a Uou; and if he hi, he cer
tainly is a dead Hon, as far as his roaring
around the headquarters of General Grant is
concerned, fie merely wastes his energies
and tantalises his appetite, when ho visits
Grant's office, seeking to devour him. The
thing oan't bo done, even by suoh a voracious
beast of prey aa "T. W." But perhaps we do
not comprehend the full foroe of "T. W.'s"
elegant sentenoe. Let the "dead lion" roar
again, and with a clearer ntteranoe.
A Case for Severe Punishment.
Ok Sunday afternoon, in broad daylight, a
peaceable oitixea, while walking in Weat
Philadelphia with several friends, was set
upon by a gang of some sixteen roughs,
beaten with stones, olubs, and fists, and so
severely wounded that within a few houra be
died, truoh an ooourrenoe as this deserves
the attention of the oommunity. This was no
midnight aasaaaiuation, nor the deed of one
villain, but waa the concerted and riotous at'
tack by a large party, without cmo, and in
the time of day when a cltizan is supposed to
be perfectly safe. The fact cannot bs dis
guised that there exist iu various portions of
Philadelphia just such organized ruffiius a
those who committed this murder. Any oua o'
our readers, walking on Sunday afternoon, oan
see them at a soore of corners, scowling at
every respectable oitizen, aud eveu insulting
them by their remarks. Kspeoially la this
true in West Philadelphia, aud from all re
ports it seems certain that thla murderous
gang have long been the terror of the neigh
boibood. It ia time that we were freed from
this species of ruffianism. It ia time tha1
these men, and all like them, should be
taught a lesaon. Five of the attacking party
have been arrested, and will await the finding
of the Coroner's jury. None of them are over
nineteen. It is from just suoh aa these that
the race of murderers spring, and if these
young men be not punished they will, beyond
doubt, wind up their career on the
gallows. They deserve andshould re
ceive no false olemency bscause of
their youth. That boys of their age are so
hardened in sin ia an aggravation rather than
a palliation of their offense. They should be
tried and oonvioted, that, by the severest sen
tence of the law, others like them may
be deterred in the future. Unless soma suoh
step be taken, the life of no oitizen is safe.
The Defeat of the Democracy.
At the late eleotion New England cast a solid
electoral vote for Grant by unprecedented ma
jorities. In former times, before the party
had become the slave ef slavery and the vassal
of rebellion, it could count confidently on the
support of Maine and New Hampshire, and in
more recent contests it has carried Connecti
cut, when its behavior was not unusually out
rageous. But against Seymour and Blair and
the new rebellion platform New England givea
an aggregate majority of more than 153,000,
and the States classed as doubtful in the early
Stages of the campaign have proved as reliable
as Massachusetts or Vermont. New York and
New Jersey are the only Northern States oar
ried by Seymour and Blair. They were
wrested from their true position by the
most gigantio naturalization frauds that have
disgraced the century. The interior of Ne w York
rolled up tremendous Republican majorities
The Republicans of New York city also polled
an immense vote for Grant. But Tammany was
determined to oarry the State. The key of the
Democratip canvass consisted in the aoouracy
of its oaloulations, for its unscrupulous leaders
had at hand all the facilities for manufacturing
a sufficient number of illegal voters to coun
terbalance the Republican suffrages of the
country distriots. In New Jeasey similar
agencies were freely employed, especially in
ber oities bordering on New York. Pennsyl
vania rolled up for Grant and Colfax the
largest clear majority she has given in any
Presidential contest since the days of General
Jackson. The significance of this action is
increased by the potent power of the electoral
vote of this State, and by the desperate efforts
made by the Democraoy to seoure it. The nine
Western States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas,
and Nebraska give an aggregate majority of
285,000 for Grant, and Seymour and Blair did
not receive from them a single eleotoral vote.
These States formerly gave at many elections
large Democratic majorities; but their attach
ment to Republicanism seems to inorease
with the growth of their population. After
the next census they will gain an additional
number of Congressmen and Senators, and
their influence will become more powerful
than ever. On the Pacific ooast, California,
Oregon, and Nevada, all claimed by the De
mocracy, have all voted for the Republican
nominees; and the Demooratio hope of gaining
a foothold in the young mining States haa
thus been blighted. With Democraoy stamped
out in New England, overwhelmed in Penn
sylvania, triumphant in New York and New
Jersey only by the aid of transparent frauds,
routed in every Western State, and
defeated in the Paciflo commonwealths, it
stands utterly condemned everywhere exoept
in the rebellious South. It carried the Border
States of Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware,
because, while they contain an immense num
ber of voters who aided the Rebellion, their
Secessionists were not powerful enough to
seoure the passage of Secession ordinances, or
to place their States in snch a direct and open
position of antagonism to the Union as would
have necessitated and justified their recon
struction on a loyal basis. Of the other
Southern States the Republicans carried for
Grant West Virginia, Tennessee, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and
Arkansas; leaving to the Democraoy, as fruits
of fraud and foroe, Georgia and Louisiana.
Even after Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia
are readmitted, if fair elections are seoured,
the Democracy oan soaroely hope to obtain
half the votes polled within the limits of the
exploded Southern Confederacy. In view of
their signal overthrow, it is soaroely wonder
ful that tome of their leaders serioajly ooa-
terc plate a formal surrender to the viotorloua
conqueror of the Rebellion, by oasting the
Demooratio eleotoral vote for Grant.
Pomb of the Miohigan newspapers strongly
nrge the reelection of Senator Chandler, whose
term expires on the 4th of March next. We
think Michigan oan do mnoh better. Chandler,
at the best, is a demagogue, happening to be
on the right side at present. But he is a man
who is not qualified, either by Intellect or
habits, for the high position whioh he has now
filled during a period of twtlve years. In all
the elements of statesmanship he is a mere
pigmy by the side of his colleague, Senator
Howard. Let the new Miohigan Legislature
look around the State before they give Chand
ler another six years' lease of the flesh pots.
They will have no difficulty in finding a better
and more deserving man to represent their
State in the National Senate.
Tub Dii freesck. The London Spectator, in
commenting on Baron von Beust's recent
speech before the Austrian Military Commit
tee, quotes the Monitcur of Paris as saying
that the establishment of the Austrian army
on a peace footing of 800,000 is all quite pro
per, and nobody need be alarmed, "for'publio
opinion is satisfied that no cause for war
exists." In response to this peaoeable assu
rance of the French Emperor, the Spectator
pithily remarks that "earthquakes don't
'exist' they happen." This includes the
whole war cloud which hanga over the conti
nent in a nutshell. With the vast armaments
which are maintained by France and the other
continental powers, although publio opinion
is satisfied and with good reason that there
is no cause for war, all Europe is liable at any
moment to be thrown into a convulsion.

ygAR8H ALL'S ELIXIR.
Dyspepsia is becoming the most common
and dangerous disease of this country. It
not only so weakens all the organs of diges
tion as to prevent their healthy action in the
digestive process, but, if not radically cured,
leads to other more serious complaints.
Marshall t Elixir removes biliousness, and
so allows the stomach to digest the food with
out pain or unpleasant feeling after eating.
Dyspepsia cannot be cured by pills, as they
only temporarily relieve, leaving the stomaoh
in a worse condition after their aotion than
before. Marshall's Elixir, by gradually giv
ing strength and removing all causes of un
healthy action in the stomach, permanently
cures tbe most confirmed cases of this disease.
Jkauuclie sours the disposition, destroys
the appetite, and, if not relieved before it be
comes a habit of the system, will ultimately
end in the most serious forms of nervous
complaints. Headache admonishes us that a
more alarming disorder is threatening the
system. Marshall's tlixir rarely fails to
relieve all forms of Headache; its curative
powers are not, like most remedies, of short
duration, but are permanent and lasting.
t'ofttlrenegs, if neglected too long, results
in inflammation of the bowels, piles, diseases
of the bladder, and affects all the surrounding
organs. This remedy will certainly perma
nently relieve all such as are so atilloted,
whether their occupation is sedentary or
more active. Read the following certifi
cates: Lower Merton, Montgomery Co.
M. Marshall Co.: I cheerfully recommend
your Elixir as the only Medicine that has bene
fited me. I have had Dyspepsia and Headache
for a number of years, and by the nse of your
Elixir have been entirely cured of both.

me a little at tlrst, aud now, after using it a
