An Incident at Niagara.
A pood many year ulnce a steamboat was ac
customed to make dally trips between Buff.ilo
and Niagara Falls. TLo nearest point to which
lio could approach the mighty cataract was
Chippewa creek, about ten miles distant, on the
Canada side. One day there was a pleasure ex
cursion, and several hundred men, women, and
children went down from Buffalo. After spend
ing the day In ail sorts of amusements In lojk
liii? upon the falls, admiring the rainbow, pass
ing under Tablo Hock and behind the falling
water they gathered themselves on board the
boat, towards night, to return to their home?.
By some miscalculation of the englnoer, eulll
clent stoum had not been generated, and when,
after passing out of the creek, tho bont met the
strong, rapid curront of tho river, Instead of
going forward she was slowly, slowly borne
backward towards the dreadful cataract. The
pooplo on board, as may well be Imagined, be
came Instantly alarmed. The color fled from their
cheeks; they stood In speechless horror; the
roar of the cataract sounded fearfully dintlnct
In their cars, as slowly, slowly they woro
Btill borne back towards it. At length tho engi
neer bethought him of the oil with which he
lubricated his machinery. He threw It into tho
furnace the flames blazed up more intensely
steam was generated more rapidly the wheels
moved around with increased velocity: there
was a pause, as tho Titan forces were contend
ing for the mastcrr. A moment more, and there
was an upward movement. Now slowly, slowly
the boat passed agulnst the current. In a short
time the point of danger was passed, and a long,
heavy sigh of relief broke from the bosom of
every one on board.
A venerable, grcy-halrcd man was there among
them. Ho lifted his hat from his head, and said,
in a voice trembling with emotion, "The Lord
has delivered us; great is tho name of the Lord.
Let us pray." And down upon the deck kneeled
the multitude, whilo the heartfelt offering of
thanksgiving went up to God, who had wrought
for them so great a salvation. But it did not end
here. The feeling which had been awakened
by the near approach of death did not, With all,,
pass away when the danger was over, as is
too ofton tho case. Even there, on the brink
of that awful precipice, many found their
Saviour. A revival followed in the church to
which a large number of them belonged it was
a Sabbath School excursion and many found
peace in believing. One, a man of large wealth,
dedicated much of it to God in the building of a
church, as a memorial of his gratitude for tieing
snatched from destruction, both in this life and
the life to come. Thus God got unto Himself
glory from the carelessness as we term it of
that engineer, through which the lives of hun
dreds were for the moment imperilled, ne chose
this way to work out His gracious purposes
towards that people. 27te Quioer.
The Flaw I Inn torn.
There arc people who have a preternatural
faculty for detecting evil, or tho appearance of
evil, in every man's character. They have a
fatal scent for carrion. Their memory is like a
museum I once saw at a medical college, and
illustrates all the hideous distortions and mon
strous growths and -revolting diseases by which
humanity can bo troubled or afllicted. They
think they have a wonderful knowledge of
human nature. But it is a blunder to mistake
the "Newgate Calendar" for a biographical dic
tionary. A less offensive typo of the same tendency
leads some people to find apparent satisfaction
In the discovery and proclamation of the slight
est defects in tho habits of good men and the
conduct of public institutions. They cannot
talk about the benefits conferred by a great
hospital without lamenting some iuslgniflcaut
blot iu its laws, and some trilling want of pru
dence in its management. Speak to them about
a man whose good works everybody is admiring,
and they cool your ardor by regretting that he
is so rough In his manner, or so smooth that
his temper is so hasty, or that he is so fond of
applause. They seem to hold a brief, requiring
them to prove tho impossibility of human per
fectiou. They detect the slightest alloy In tho
pure gold of human gooduess. That there aro
spots in the sun is, with them, something moro
than an observed fact it takes rank with a
priori and necessary truths.
There are people who, if they hear an organ,
find out at once which are tho poorest stops. If
they listen to a great speaker, they remember
nothing but some slip in tho construction of a
sentence, the consistency of a metaphor, or the
evolutions of an argument. Whilo their friends
are admiring tho wealth and beauty of a tree
whose branches are weighed down with fruit,
they have discovered a solitary bough, lost in
the golden allluence, on which nothing is
hanging.
Poor Hazlitt was sorely troubled with them in
his time. "Littleness," he said, "is their ele
ment, and they give a character of meanness to
whatever they touch." Good Word.

METHODIST.
Tin- Vri'o. Methodists becan their dcnoinina
tioual existence in lStKJ. They now have 0000
members and 04 preachers.
The Church Extension Society has, within a
few davs oast, assisted the Methodist Episcopal
church iu Augusta, Georgia, to tho extent of
three thousand dollars, in purchasing a house of
worship, which fully meets the wants ot tlie m
detv. and establishes tho Methodist Church in
that city.
Bishop Simpson lias on several occasions ex
urcsscd himself strongly to tho effect that the
tide of drunkenness and Immorality, especially
iu our great cities, cannot be stopped uutil tlie
ballot is given to woman. At the Methodist Con
ference iu Richmond. Iud., this sentiment was
received with great cheering.
Rev. A. S. Baker, D. D., President of the
New York Conference of the "Methodist
Church." has been elected Professor of Rhetoric
in Adrian College, Michigan.
There aro now foitv-four students at the
Boston Methodist Theological Seminary, being
an increase of twelve over last year. Dr. Lind
say, late President of Genesee College, has been
added to the faculty.
The report of the Wesleyan Missionary So
ciety says: "We have about 18,000 church
members', and 00,000 attendants on public wor

Church, organized, in 1841, tho first Sunday

Father Hyaclnthe, tho famous Carmelite
friar of France, seems to bo more Protestant
than some Anglican or American Protestants,
lie said tho other day, In Lyons: "The day Is
gone by for preaching up monastlclsm, auUc
rities, retreats, and celibacy. There was a time
when all that might have been ncc issarr; but at
the present hour the want of France is Christian
households!" Father llcekcr must bo shocked
at the uttcraneo of his French brother, who
hays: "We are behind Protestant nations, and
especially those that dwell beyond the Atlantic
and the Straits of Dover. I have trodden Eng
lish soli on two occasions, and I have come to
the conviction that the strength of that coun
try is from the Bible." "Do you know why
I'russia triumphed on the field of battle t It was
because every l'rusrlun BolUier had a Bible in his
cap or helmet."
An cx-patleiit of n San Francisco smallpox
hospital writes a description of its management
to the Alia. Among othor things lie says: One
of tho noblest features of the Institution, and
which sheds a glow of light even in this gloomy
spot, is the presence of tho Sisters of Mercy.
Purer, holier, better women do not breathe tho
air of heaven. One has scarcely entered tho
house before somo of these good sisters offer
him a glass of wine; and although the beverage
warms and dicers the drooping body, yet the
moral effects of this meeting, upon the
threshold of a place which inspires terror in tho
stoutest heart, of a pair of kindly eyes and a
smiling face, does the heart moro good than all
the mediclno In the world. Every patient
blesses the Sisters, for all alike receive a
share of their attentions; they arc truly angels
of mercy, for one must be imbued with tho
purest principles to thus brave all the dangers
incident to ouo of the most terrible maladies
which afllicts humanity.
The new Catholic school-house in courso of
erection at tho corner of Grove and N. Seventh
streets, Jersey City, was blown down about noon
on April S5. The wind, which raged like a hur
ricane, scattered the timbers in all directions.
The damage is estimated at about $4000.
A meeting of Catholic peers, members of
Parliament, and others was held on April 9 in
London, to protest against the treatment of
Catholic children In English workhouses, esne

PKEKIlYTEniAN.
Since the adoption of the free-seat system in
tlie First Presbyterian Church of Cineinnatl,moro
money has been raised than under the pew sys
tem, and the congregations have increased. So
far as we can learn, it has been found generally
successful where system has been observed in
making collections.
Rev. T. Do Witt Talmuge has occupied tho
pulpit of the Central Presbyterian Church of
Brooklyn for scarcely two months; but during
this time the congregation has increased from a
mere handful to such a crowd that the aisles as
well as the pews are filled. Tho income of the
church has also doubled.
A United Presbyterian committee has met
members of the Old and of the New School in
this city, to consult about union. They adopted
a platform, but without pledging themselves to
it, which embraces, first, the confession of faith;
second, Presbyterian church government; and,
third, the duty of using psalms, and the permis
sion to use hymns.
The reports of increase In the churches made
to the Central Presbytery of Philadelphia, at its
late meeting, were gratifying. To tlie Cohock
sink Church were added during the last year, by
profession of faith. 75 persons; to Kensington
Church, 44; to the Central Church, 44; Charles
town Church, 4-i: Phienixvillu, S4; Trinity, 34;
Port Richmond, 27: Spring Garden Church, 24;
North Tenth Street, 2:5; Alexander Church, 19;
llestonville, 18; averaging 27 members to each
of the churches named.

On u late Sabbath, fifty-one persons were
added to the Third Presbyterian Church of Cin
cinnati, Ohio, the Rev. W. C. Taylor, D. ).,
pastor. Dr. Taylor has had charge of this
church for about one year.
As the result of an unusual degree of
religious interest in Viueland, New Jersey,
duriug.tlic past winter, sixty-live were received
to the First Presbyterian Church. April 4;
making the church, which was organized less
than fcix years ago, to consist of more than three
hundred and filty members.
Till last November the New School Presby
terians were doing, as a Church, nothing for
freediucn. Then six brethren were sent to
Smith Carolina, and seventy teachers have since
been commissioned. Presbyteries will soon be
organized iu South Carolina' and Tennessee. Tho
committee needs if HMMKI immediately.
The Rev. John Jason Owen, D.'D., Trofes
sir of Ancient. Languages In the College of the
City of New York, died on Sunday week. Ho
was of advanced age, and lias becu a professor
in the college from its commencement, lie was
a minister of the Presbyterian Church, and was J
universally esteemed.

REFORMED.
The Rev. M. A. Rowland, a minister in tlie
Methodist Church, but early trained iu tho Hei
ilelbcrg Catechism, has joined the German He
loinied Church. Tlie Classis of Philadelphia
recently ordained him pastor of the church iu
Vincent, I'a.
Tlie lit formed Church Monthly (Dr. Bom
hcr"cr"i) claims that in the last ten years there
huU! been received, in one of tho Reformed
churches of this city, more converts from
Romanism to Protestantism, than perverts from
Protestantism to Rome in all the Roman Catho
lic churches, ol Philadelphia iu the same period.
BAFTI9T.
The Rcy. Tsaae Wcscott. T. I)., has become
pastor of the Plymouth Church, In New York, a
new interest about eight months old. '
One hundred and twenty-five have proteased
conversion in the First Baptist Church, Peters
burg, Va., and the meeting is progressing with
unabated Interest.
The First Baptist Church of New York is
erecting a beautiful cliurcn, which will be onoof
tho finest In the country. It is "designed, as
every Baptist church ought to be, with special
reference to the pulpit and baptistery. The
baptistery will bo of white marble, and have
half tho front made of plate glass, so that the
ordinance Itself, and not merely the standing in
water of the candidate and administrator, can oc
seen."
-Tho Baptists in Denmark have never yet re
ceived the recognition of tho State as an autho
rized religious bodv. This lack places them in
a position of inferiority to tho Lutherans, Catho
lics, Methodists, and Jews, who all alike enjoy
this public recognition. The Baptists find their
position a barrier to the propagation of tho
truth, besides exposing incm to various incon
veniences. For example, they have to pay
heavy taxes on their chapel, from which the
meeting-houses of tho recognized denominations
aro free. The ministers of tho Baptists cannot
solemnlzo marriages; they cannot register births
and deaths, which must be done by a Lutheran
clergyman, from whom, In case of necessity, a

Mr. Timpanv, of tho Teloogoo Mission, re
ports the baptism of twelve converts in Decem
ber, and states that about thirty-five are awaiting
the ordinance. At iSellore six were lately I'ap
tlzed, one of whom was a "Tamil man who had
the priesthood of twelve villages." At Tulla
Konda Paud, Brother Clough baptized sixteen iu
January, and others applied for the ordinance.
thirty natives were to go to ungoia lor baptism,
and twenty-five from another section were await
ing baptism. Brother Jowctt sends cheering
news from a new field, Alloor. Sovcn have been
baptized there, and Brother Jcwctt hopes these
will yield three or four preachers. Four of them
are tlie best scholars in the schools in Alloor and
Cavoor, from twelve to fifteen years of age. All
but one can read. Alloor is a promising station.
lr-ISCOPAL.
Dr. Osmflcld's church, in Brooklyn, opened
a mission chapel three years ago. It is now self
supporting, with200 members," 450 Sunday School
scholars, and a sewing school of H0O girls. A
second mission, ouo year old, has 350 scholars,
preaching twice every Sunday, and 400 at the
prayer meetings. Yet n third has developed
into an independent church, with its own rector.
The Church of the Iutercessor, in tills city,
of which Rev. J. W. Bonlium is pastor, has
adopted the free pew system.
At one of the Episcopal churches of Mem
phis, Tennessee, Bishop (Juintard lately called
forward the candidates for continuation, when
several white people presented themselves. After
they had been confirmed, a colored candidate
presented himself. The Bishop very plainly ex
pressed his disapproval of this separation of
colors, as utterly inconsistent with the spirit of
tlie Gospel.
The fashionable preachers of Vienna have
jando, a their Lent sermons, terrible attacks,
upon the newspapers. Father' Src'tiier said in
the pulpit of the Dominican Church: ''Be
loved brethren, I tell you read no bad news
papers, no bad books, but rCftd the Bible, and
you will be certain to bo converted." Another
preacher simplified this advice by recommending
his audience not Vo read any newspaper at all;
all of them were bod.
A portion of the anti-Ritualist party in Aus
tralia have formed what they designate a Free
Church of England, and have elected a Bishop,
lie went through a form of consecration, took
the oaths, and held a general ordination. Tho
English Church Missionary Society lias 15,000
communicants in the Sierra Leone, and for 2000
miles of that coast, reaching to the Gaboon river.
on tho equator, missionary stations have taken
tiie place of slave-factories. Iu South Africa
there are 20,000 communicants.
JEWISH.
We quoted somo time since from English
papers the statement that there were 2000 bap
tized Jews in London, and 100 Jews who were
ordained clergymen in England. These facts
were stated by Rev. C. II. Wainwright in behalf
of the Jews' Society. Mr. Emanuel, a rabbi of
Southsca, wrote to Mr. Wainwright, asking for
the date of baptism of these converts. Mr.
Wainwright did not reply. Then Professor
Marks came forward, and charged Mr. Wain
wright with "gross fabrication." Ho says:
"DurinR the last four years 17 Polish and German
Jews have appeared at Exeter JIall in the character
of Christian converts, and In every Instance the
convert has bettered his worldly condition by the
change, and so made capital out of his Christianity.
DuriiiK the same period 4 English Jews only have
(one over to Christianity ; 8 of one family, Including
an M. I'., have become communicants of the Church
of England, and 1 Jewish girl of eighteen has been
led to Koniiin Catholicism through the luiluencc of a
Popish governess. As a set-on to this, I know of I
Christians who have, during the sume interval, em
braced Judaism 2 males and 5 females."
This called out Mr. Wainwright, who could
make no reply Qxcept to refer to tho Jews'
Society in London ! The statements no doubt
were utterly untrue; as, at least, the assertion
that there were 100 such clergymen might
have been easily substantiated. 'A historical
account of the relation of the Jews to Chris
tianity has been published this year in Germany
by Dr. Kalkar, which we hope "is more reliable,
iu which he states that within forty years (KhKj
Jews in tlie single Prussian province of Silesia
became converts to Christianity, and that there
arc now 2500 Jewish converts in Berlin. Every
one knows that Dr. Neander was a Jewish con
vert, ns is also Dr. Cappadosc, one of the lead
ing and most earnest Christians of Holland.
