Every man tlitmlil bu sober Hiniiotimc. I onct
knew one tso unfortunate us to be sober nil tbe
time, ami j et an honest miui 1 Wo hnvo known
men Ihel never r iniletl, or reldmil, whoso face
was riuld us an Iron mak, m.d yet they wore ,
kind, phrjile, and reully reliable, lint euen are !
exceptional capes. Uniform sobriety is pre-
snintiUvcly very much uifuliiKt a num. Ilo who i
gives no play to the gentler foci inns hi mine-
thinjr tbe matter with bl.n that should bo looked
lulo before one trusts blin far.
Mirtb Itself is not always honest. But It tends
to openness, to sincerity, to sweetness. Mirth
baa better Hull In It to mako a inun of than
sobriety has. It, too, Id used sometimes as a
mask for hypocrisy. Hut not half so often as
sobriety is.
Only consider how many men quite empty and
worthless, inwardly neither rich nor forceful,
are kept agoing by the mere trick of gravity.
When some men come to you it Is like sunrise.
Everything seems to take new life, and shines.
Other men bring iilht with them. The chill
shadow of their sobriety fulls upon every innc
ceut Knicty, ttU1' your feeling-", like birds at even
ing, stop singing, and go to their roost. Away
with these fallows who go owling through life,
all the while passing for birds of paradise! Fie
that cannot laugh and be gay should look well
to himself, lie should fast and pray until his
fare breaks forth into light!
Here, too, are the Immortal dullards who, it
is to be feared, will never forsake the earth.
Dull good men ! They live with the uniform
consistency of stagnation. They are said to be
reliable. You always know where to flud them.
Safe men they are. They are none cf your
highllyers, sever extravagant, always where
you found them last I Over their blessed faces
hangs the twilight of sobriety. They are im
mense negatives. Nothing saves them from
pity but their sobriety. Men worship that, and
so dullness passes for consistent piety.
Behind the mask of sobriety how many pre
tenders pass themselves off! Every one knows
how wretchedly inconsistent with honor their
out-door life is, but they have such a power of
glo )iu in meetings that inmi rtHpect their reli
gious experience! And so the young are taught
that one can be eminently rclitrfous without
being strictly honest or reliable.
Public sentiment is purifying itself. Men are
beginning at last to understand that nothing is
so cheerful, so full of liberty, so genial, and
joyous, as true religion. Christ called this sort
of men children of light. lie ridiculed aud do
Bounced the long-faced hypocrites who ostenta
tioubly prayed and prayed, and got further from
grace and humanity the longer they prayed.
After Him came the apostles, who cry out to all
good and true men, "Kejolce In the Lord alway,
and again I say, Kejolce."
With all this, sobriety ought not to bs de
nounced. Men have a ri'jflit to be solcrau, iu
spots, aud on just occasion. If men of inelastic
natures and of rigid face live truly kind and
uprightlives, theirsobriety should be considered
a misfortune, and not a fault. But such men are
not the types of Christianity. The typical
Christian bangs full of the fruit of every faculty
'which God planted in the soul. A man of reason
he is; a man of instinct and intuition too; a
man capable of suffering, full of
light and shadows; stern, if need
be, but relenting, placable, and mild; capable
of hating, choosing rather to love; strict
with himself, lenient with all others; loving this
world dearly but loving the other even better;
abhorring wickedness, and yet the best friend
of wicked men; gay aud guileless as a child,
seusitive as woman; loving joy in himself, in
spiring it in others; a lover of activity, and a
lover of rest; full of thnnder and full of peace
after it this is the man which the true Gospel
breeds. AsceUcs, cynics, eremites, mere sobriety
mongers, are all bastards.
"Whatsoever things are kind, whatsoever
things are honeet, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report
think on (ponder) thoe things."
llenry Ward Beecher in the CrhUtian Union.
SUMMARY OF CHURCH NEWS.
EPISCOPAL.
The Episcopalians have a "Clergyman's Mu
tual Insurance League," numbering 539 mem
bers. On the death of any member his brethren
each send two dollars to the heirs.
Bishop Whipple, ot Minnesota, who is tra
velling in Europe for his health, had a gift of
twenty thousand dollars presented to him for
the endowment for tbe Episcopal College of a
professorship, and one thousand dollars worth
of books. The presents were made from the
Oxford University.
The Irish Episcopal Church, just disesta
blished, has been holding a long session to
arrange itself to its new position. One question
ery earnestly discussed has been whether the
bishops should form a third -bouse, separate
from tbe clergy and luity, and havlug a veto on
their action. This measure has passed, although
it has caused ttie withdrawal from the Church
of Lord James Bu ler. It was asserted that
Miss Burdett Coutts would give tbe Church
$000,000 If the bishops were ullowed the veto.
Tbe threatened ecclesiastical trial of lier.
Coliu C. Tale, of Columbus, O., will uot come
off. It will be remembered that he wrote a let
ter last December to Bishop Mcllvaine announc
ing that be bad at last concluded that he would
in a month obey the episcopal mandito and dis
continue a surplleed chrlr and professional
singing. The letter was not satisfactory to
Bishop Mcllvainc; but the standing committee
of the diocese had agreed to accept the ungra
cious surrender. The class which has been wait
ing for confirmation iu Mr. Tate's church Bineo
December 11th, 18(17, the date of the la.it episco
pal visitation, will now be confirmed.
I'KEBUTTEItlAN.
The Presbyterian church, Stamford, Ky., of
which the Kev. G. O. Barnes Is pastor, has lately
received nearly forty on profession of faith.
Tbe Northern Presbytery (New York and
vicinity) of the lie formed Presbyteriau Church
bos voted nguiust the proposed union with United
Presbyterians.
'lbe Cumberland Presbyterians have their
strength on the Border States, and yet did not
divide durlug the war. They have 140,000
members.
Two Presbyterian chu'cbe of Covington,
Ky., have been for yearn disconnected with any
assembly. By mutual arrangement and the dis
cission of members, from one to the other, the
First Church Las jut joined the Northern aud I
the feeond the Southern br.irch. ,
An utterly unintelligible ocean telegram
states that "union between the English u'uU
Scottish Presbyterian bodies approaches com
pletion." Meetings have been held in Liverpool
and elsewhere iu support of uulon, attended by
United, Reformed, und, we believe, Euglbh
Presbyterians, but no immediate union is pro
bable. !
Kev. J. R. Johnson, pastor of the Congre
gaticnul church at llerudon, Ya., knows more
about PresM'terlanlsra in that county than the
wriujr in a Presbyterian paper on whose autho
rity it wsb stated that there is not a Presbyterian
church In Fairfax county, Va. Mr. Johnson
states that there is one such flourishing I
church at Falls Church, and another small one
t Lewlnsvllle. A thlrdehurch at Chaotlily was
destroyed during the war. Tbe Congregational
church of twelve members at llorndon la also in
Fairfax county. Onr Informant adds bis opinion
Dint the training w bich Congregationalism gives
to individuality makes it an excellent educating,
power in tbe ftwth, "where individuality was
so long tiaiuplcd down iu Church and Slate by
the slave power."
1 he Cincinnati Oaxt-ttt says: A notlcsablM
feature of the progress of the religious work In
tils city Is the disposition among tbe I'rosiay
tcrluu churches to abandon the policy of selling
)es, and to raise tbe fuuds required for the
support of tbe Church by other means. The
First Presbyterian Church led off in this matter,
opening their pews to all, rich and poor alike,
ma king tbe weakest member of society feel that
be bad a right to a sent in tbe church no less
sacred tlnm that enjoyed by bis affluent neighbor.
Tbe Fifth Presbyterian followed very soon, if It
did not occur about the same time. Now the
Third Presbyterian Church falls in line, having
lately, at a large meeting, declared for "free
pews," by a vole of 178 for to 10 against. From
prereut appearances it will not be long before
evciy Presbyterian church In this city will be
clear of a custom that the poor have looked npon
with jealousy, and which has, to some extent,
stood in the way of u free Gospel and church
progress.
MBTHODI8T.
The Baltimore Methodist Conference voted
not to forward money to tbe New York treasurer
of their Nuuday School Society, because, as one
of those Implicated in tbe late difficulties in the
Book Concern, he docs not command tbe confi
dence of the entire Church.
BAPTIST.
The Baptists of Ireland have donbled since
the revival of 1859. They employ 20 mission
aries, who preach in 100 stations, 'mostly iu the
north of Ireland.
Of the twenty recent additions, by baptism,
totbelirst Bhiaist Church of Newark, N. J.,
tbe Rev. A. 8. Walsh, a young Congregational
preaehcr, was one.
lbe precious revival enjoyed during the
past winter by the Baptist churches of Baltimore
lias resulted In the baptism of nearly four hun
dred young converts.
Kev. J. L. Barlow has resigned the pastor
ate of tbe Baptist church of Dundee, Illinois,
because his church required him to baptise a
candidate for membership who Is an adhering
Muson.
The story that In an Immerslonist church
In Columbus, Ohio, several young ladies refused
to enter the baptistery after a colored man had
been immersed Is indignantly deulod by tbe
pastor of the only Baptist church in tho town.
Tbe Rev. Dr. Pendleton baptized nine can
didates, on a late Sunday, at Upland, Pa. Among
them were tbe eldest sons of Professor Osgood
and Robert Croeer, youngest son of the late
John P. Grosser, aud the only remaining member
oi we ianiuy wno was nor. a vjuristian. in addi
tion to these, President Weston, of Crozer Semi
nary, baptized his youngest sou.
The first Protestant sermon preached west
of the Mississippi was by Kev. .lames Kerr,
Baptist, at St. Louis, October 20, 17), en
the occasion of the funeral of his wife.
The first Protestant sermon in New Orleans
was preached November 17, 1805, by Kev.
Philander Chase, of the Protcstaut Episcopal
Church.
CONGUEOATIONAL.
Rev. Newman Hull has been so seriously ill
since his separation from bis wife, whose temper
is said to have been unendurable, that pravcrs
have been offered lor his recovery lu meetings
iu London.
The Congregationalists have 191 churches
In New Hampshire and 200 ministers; but there
seem to be diflloulties in bringing them to
gether, for only 84 ministers are pastors and C!)
are stated supplies.
The same day that Dr. Buddlngton,' of
Brooklyn, N. Y., reeehed about seventy, the
church, in another portion of Brooklyn minis
tered to by tho Kev. Dr. II. M. Storrs, received
nearly fifty new members to its communion.
The largest number of C ongregational
churches is in Massachusetts, 427; the largest
church is Mr. Beecher's, with a membership of
18.13. Of the pastors 100 are in foreign mission
work. There are 605 vacant churches, and
about 500 ministers not in the pastoral or evan
gelical service.
In 1852 the first Congregational church in
Missouri was organized in St. Louis, under the
charge of Dr. Post. Now there are 67 such
churches in the State, and In St. Louis itself
and suburbs there have six churches gone off
from tbe original one. But two churches in the
State survived the war.
Rev. J. E. Roy says in tho Congregationalist
that of 3043 Congregational churches in the
country 1550, a little more than one-half, are la
New England, 330 in the Middle States, 33 in
the South, 04 on the Pacific coast, and 1177 in
tbe Intel lor (ten States), moro than one-third.
Of the 300,302 members 189,859 are in New Eng
land, 74,642 in the interior, 110,574 out of New
Englaud. Of the 144 churches organized last
year 10 were in New England, 90 in the Interior,
nearly two-thirds, 18 in the South, 19 in the
Middle States, ana 7 in the Pacific States.
CATHOLIC.
It is stated that tbe Pope has refused to
allow admission to the council of a representative
of France.
Two hundred Canadian Zouaves have
finished their two years' service, and a: o on their
way borne from Rome.
' In Wilmington, III., a Roman Catholic
church has just raised nearly $3000 by a fair and
lotteries An elder in the Presbyterian church
and the superintendent of its Sabbath School
presided as judges at the drawing of the lot
teries, and the superintendent of the Methodist
school drew a prize.
The Tribune says that visitors to the Vati
can Council are shown in tho Church of St.
Augustine "the cord with which Judas Iscuriot
hanged himself; a wing of tho Augel Gabriel;
the comb of tbe cock that crowed when Peter
denied his Lord; the beard of Noah; and ttin
stuff with which Moses divided the lied Sea."
And tbe cicerone has plenty of authentic relics
for sule.
The Pope forbade tho French prelates from
celebrating muss for tho soul of the Count do
Moutalerubert, considering It a demonstration ot
hostility to the (Keuinunieal Council. An Itallau
bhop officiated, and tho Pope attended iu one
of the galleries. As the ceiemoules took place
while the Council was lu actual session, lew of
tho bishops could assist.
At tho late Pittsburg Convention, the call to
which was addressed to members of all creeds,
Josiuh Cohen, Esq., a Jewish citlzeu of Pitts
burg, arose to speak agiinst tho propound
amendment rccogulzlng Christianity iu tiie
Constitution; but was iu formed that no argu
ment on that side was ullowed, but only as to
tbe form of the amendment and how to secure
its adoption.
About 4000 Armenian Catholics, headed by
thirty priests, have seceded at Constantinople
from Rome. There is great excitement
among them, ond on a recent fete day the patri
arch had to be protected by four hundred
police. They think the Pope is asserting too
lunch power. A telegram dated Rome, March
20, states that tho arrival is expected from Con
stantinople of an agent of Ali Pucba, charged
with obtaining concessions to calm the aitt
tlon of the Armenians, caused by tho infringe
ment of their privileges by the Papal Court.
Mr. T. E. J lark ins, of this city, has accepted
the leadership of tho choir of St. Johu's Catho
lic Church, Thirteenth street, above Chesnut,
and purposes mokiug It oue ot the gruud choirs
of Philadelphia. Mr. Harklns was many years
ago in charge of the choir ut tit. John's, which
was then famous for its fine music, participated
in by the Misses Donnelly, M'mo Joicphine
Schluipf, and other like fine talent. Tim new
and powerful organ recently placed in tho
church by the Messrs. btaubrldge is undoubt
edly one'of the best in the city, and as it is now
in the competent keeping of Professor W. A.
Newland, a performer of experience, judgment,
and tuct, its beauties are shown off to greut ad
vantage. We predict this choir will soon exceed
even its former eminent prestige.
The Louisvillo Couriei'-Juurnnl says that
Whittler is admired in the South quite as warmly
as he would be if he had never written a single
"song of freedom."
THIS HIGH COURT AT TOUKS.
It Cemetltaitloa a.ed fersna f Procedure.
The French Constitution of January H,
1862, establish a High Conrt of Justice, which
adjudicates in oases of attempts against the
life of the Emperor, or a conspiracy against
him or the security of tbe State. Its juris
diction also includes the trial of members of
tbe imperial family charged with grave
offenses. This conrt is only convoked by im
perial decree. It consists of a Chamber of
Accusation and a Jmlgtnent Chamber, formed
of Judges taken from the Conrt of Cassation,
with a High Jury composed of members from
the CoutioilH-General of the Departments.
Each Chamber is composed of five Judges
and five Assistant Judges. They are named
annually by the Emperor. The President,
Procureur-General, and other magistrates re
quired for tbe organization of the conrt
are named by the imperial decree which sum
mons it.
This body consists of thirty-six jurymen
and four assistant judges. When the decree
of convocation is issued, tbe first President
of the Conrt of Appeal in such department
is required within ten days to draw by lot,
in open conrt, the name of one persou from
the list of tbe members of the Gounuil-Qene-ial,
to serve as juryman under a heavy
penalty. The thirty-six who are to form the
jury are taken from these jurymen when the
court convenes. Varions officials are ineli
gible to act on tbe High Jury. The Council
General from which tbe High Jury is thus
selected is, it may be added, a body in each
department which legislates npon the con
cerns of the department in regard to internal
improvements and the collection of taxes. It
consists of as many members in eaoh depart
ment as there are cantons, but the number is
in no ci.se to exceed thirty.
An electoral assembly in each canton, con
sisting of electors and citizens found on the
jury list, elects a member to the Counoil
Qenersl. Members thereof must be aged
over over 25 years, and pay 200 fraucs an
nually in direct taxes. Some officials repre
senting the Imperial Government are not
eligible as members. Councillors-General
are elected for nine years, but it is so arranged
that one-third retire every three yearn. It is
apparent from these details that the High Jury
is constituted in a very distinguished manner.
When an Imperial decree notilies the High.
Court to exercise its functions, the Chamber
of Accusation, which is to a great extent
equivalent to the Grand Jury in this country,
enters npon its duties. If the charge is not
sufficiently grave for the High Court it remits
it to an ordinary tribunal. When it pro
nounces that the matter shall be heard before
the Judgment Chamber, the Emperor con
vokes the Chamber of Judgment, and names
the place where the trial in to take place.
In the case of Pi iuce Bonaparte, the Cham
ber of Accusation directed by an order dated
on the 18th dny of February, that he is to be
tried firstly for having committed homicide
on the person of Victor Noir, which was pre
ceded or followed by an attempt on the per
son of Ulrich Fonvielle; secondly, for having
attempted the homicide of Fonveille. This
order places the Prince under Article 304 of
the penal oode, the punishment being death.
In case of extenuating circumstances the
Court can lessen the sentence by two degrees.
Upon the announcement of this deoisioa
the Emperor convoked the High Court, which
is now in session. In this decree, Counsellor
Glandoz is named Presiding Judge. He has
had an experience of thirty-nine years in tho
legal profepsion, nnd belongs to a family emi
nent for the'distinguished men it has contri
buted to the bar. The duties of Procureur
General are intrusted to M. Grandperret,
rrocureur-General of the Imperial Court of
Paris, assisted by M. Bergognie, his Deputy.
An important regulation at the High Court
is that the declaration of the High Jury find
ing the accused guilty, or finding that extenu
ating circumstances exist, must be rendered
by a majority of more than twenty votes. It
will, therefore, be necessary that at least
thirty-one members of the jury agree to a
verdict of guilty to render it of effect. It is
evident that the chances of disagreement are
very great.
The High Courts of Justice are invariably
held away from the capital in order that their
deliberations may be uninfluenced by popu
lar demonstrations or Government intriinie.
On this occasion the Emperor directed that
tbe Court should hold its sessions in the city
of Tours, in the Department of Indre-et-Loire,
formerly the province of Touraino.
The genial climate of the exuberant soil and
varied productions of this anoient provinoa
have secured for it the name of the Garden
of France. Its greatest glory, however, is
the wide and majestic Loire, which flows
through it. The borders of this splendid
river display nature in her grandest and
most luxuriant form, while elegant villas
and ancient chateaux add to the interest and
attractiveness of the scene. The city of
Tours forms the capital of this historio pro
vince. It has a population of 41,000, and is
about 13C miles southwest from Paris. It is
beautifully situated at the junction of the
rivers Loire and Cher, and was formerly a
place of great prosperity. This was due to
Louis XI, who induced workmen to come
there from Italy and Greece to engage in the
manufacture of silk. Under the ministry of
Richelieu (19,000 persons were employed at
that industry. The surrounding country
was covered with mulberry trees. The revo
cation of the Edict of Nantes, which destroyed
French industry for a time, inflicted a bio
on the prosperity of Tours from which it
never recovered.

Die safe was sold to the Bank subject to such tests
as the Directors saw Ut to put It to. They luvlted
machinists and others to try their haul at safe
brisking and boring. The Bauk employed Major
t:pUy, one of the best machinists lu this 'section of
the country, to "drill the Bate, if poible." Tho
Mnjor, with the assistance of his sou, spent several
hours lit preparing his drills aud tools, aud having
secured a strong leverage, went to work antl after
etitliely using up his drills, and hardly making aa
Impression tin the tafe, gave his opinion that drilling?
thiough, inside of.two weeks, was out of the ques
tion. '1 he cafe was then attacked with heavy sledges.
Mtcsrs. Small, Billmeter b Co. were called upou for
three ol their best Ulachtmith Striker, who were
furulflied with heavy Bledges. After placiug the
sule la the middle of the sidewalk, they commenced

safely, and I should have notified you of the fact
sooner, but have delayed until I could have It tested.
This was done yesterday, aud the result was entirely
satisfactory. An experienced blacksmith with the
battiest cold rhlse) he could make failed to make the
slightest linprrSHion on the spherical Safe. Tbe
operation was witnessed by a number of gentlemen,
all of whom seemed entirely convinced thut the

good sledges and drills, ''he Hares were placed la

We then tried to drill them, and not succeeding in
getting a drill fastened to work at tbe top, we platted
one of the Safes between two brick walla, where the
