Eil increase or ntnxr. Perhaps no country on the face of the earth will compare with our own in the way of crime. There is, we suppose, a murder for every hour of each day of tlie week. Nearly every daily paper we pick up contains an account of a murder. “A husband murders his Wife;*' *‘n tvlftr iiiiliclera her huSUaml j** “a son murders his'-father ;V “a teacher whips a child to death;” “a whole family murdered by negroes “a man murdered for his money“two men lynched these are the captions we read in a half-dozen,daily papers now on our table. It makes the heart sick when we. are compelled to peruse the dread ful details of these dreadful and unnat ural murder?. That the American people are chang ing in character, and that they ate be coming less honorablsand moro.wicked than their forefathers, is a fact which no one can successfully deny. They have degenerated, fearfully degenera ted, and at this time the man who makes money by robbing the govern ment, or by swindling the widow and the orphan, is by a large portion of our people considered “sharp,” a “smart fellow,” Ac. Formerly such a man would have been Ipokcp on asa scoundrel and spoken of as such. Now his ill-got ten wealth secures him respect; and of ten foists him into public-position. Many of our young men have not that high sense of honor thatyvas a former American trait. Fcw-.tms now-a-days consider themselve’s poor enough to learn a trade; there are'rid apprentices, in theacception of the word, none; boys whoso fathers have worked hard at a trade or on the farm to make ah honest living for the family, would-ljecl insult ed to bo asked to follow in the footsteps of that honest fattier. No, no—young America, be his capacity over so limit ed, must bo a professional .man, or if not a professional man, a nothing ; work lie will not. Hence it is that the pro fessions—-once considered honorable— are becoming a reproach. A man fol lowing a trade no longer occupies the. independent position ho formerly occu pied, hut is looked down upon by do nothing snobs and “sharp” rascals a s one who has no position in what is now called “society.” But, we started out in this article to speak of the dreadful murders that are constantly taking place. Why is it that crime is so fearlully on the increase? Avarice, idleness, pride, rum—these lead to theft, and too often theft leads to murder. If our people could all bo induced to go to work, and become pro ducers instead of consumers—if our far mers and mechanics could once more bo looked upon as tbo best and safest men in a community—crime would decrease lifly per cent, in a year.- it is the in fernal laziness of too many of our young men—the desire to live without work ing—the yielding of honor—that indu ces crime. Look at thu-mcn in our jails all over ourcountry, charged with mur der, burglary aiid other dreadful crimes. They are not all ignorant men, but two-thirds of them are men of education and rcilncment, Ono poor culprit, in his confession on the gallows, a few days since, attributed ids bad Hick to two causes—“idleness and whiskey.” That is the experience ol five out ofsix -if all our criminals Let wise men, then, think of these 'things, nnd by a united effort save the rising generation. Xet industry and honor receivo, as in former days, respect and confidence, nnd let 119 man he hon ored or trusted who fails to come up to the standard of an honorable man. This subject should command the attention of our leading men, for to them the people must look for relief. Jilts. Lincoln is living at Frankfort, Germany.

In a forest tree lately cut down in Winconsin was found an Indian arrow head, completely imbedded and grown over. It appears, from counting the layers of wood over it, that ninety years have elapsed since the arrow which it tipped was shot at the tree. Tins true test of temper in a man is to subject him to the ordeal of taking down and putting up an old mis matched stove, with the hollow full of soot.

The heat and animosity growing out of the institution of slavery fora long time pre cluded one of my. political convictions from doing so with satisfaction; hut now I feel that in the changed condition of affairs no reason exists whv I could not do so. Surely good taste might have suppres sed this piece of political slang in an answer to a courteous invitation. Mr. Sherman’s distinguished brother was. settled for years at the South. There was no time prior to the war, at which any citizen, wishing to observe the re sources of the Southern States, could not do so. If bo tried to raise a negro insurrection, no doubt ho would have been interfered with, as he would in any community the peace of which was: put in jeopardy.. But every adult man remembers a lime when ho could have travelled from one end of the South to the other with as much comfort and, safety as in any country in the world, on the solo condition that he did not violate the common rules of prudence and decehcy.— Age. Some Ohio clergymen lately published a protest against dancing. One of their number now explains in tho Tribune that they meant only to denounce “pro miscuous dancing.” Lest' people may not have a clear idea of this, he defines it as follows: Our 1 earnest protest,” then you will please bear In mind, is against “promis cuous dancing,” I. e, the dancing of the sexes together, “atony time oranvwhere.’ Mon may dance together, If they wish ; women may do the same, If so disposed.

Is it unkind to any that this, if true, is a terrible retribution ? Historians have some times endeavored to extenuate the deeds of tyrants, by saying that they were well intended for the general good. Some of the atrocities which Stanton Perpetra ted during the war have been excused on that ground, and not a few, during ' the heat of party discussion, dcfended by'hls peculiar friends. How utterly be seems c o h ave passed out of. public notice, and certainly public regard. We doubt that those who toadied to him in bis days of power, can really respect him. It was not so much that he shut men up in dun geons for free speech, in States wherein where no symptoms of war or rebellion or that be exercised his partisan displea sure upon soldiers to whom be was inimi cal, as that he needlessly tortured, of al least suffered to be tortured, in their feel ings, if not in their bodies, the vlctii of his tyranny : 1 The poet says : •' —for the soul that is by crime perplexed Remorse has ever n ■ me spectre text, Either In th.s tvorld’or in the next,” It was undoubtedly the remorse whlih Preston King felt for the part he took In preventing Miss Surratt from seeing toe President during the last hours of her mother that induced him to commit sui cide.

Important Religions Movement, On Thursday, Nov. Uth, 1869, the two branches of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, known as the “Old School” and the “New School,’? were united, by the action of the General’ As semblies, wnicii convened at Pittsburg on wednesci-ffi nov. iv. in the y.c Schooi tbe vote for re-union was unani mous ; in the Old School only three Presbyteries voted negatively. The re union was celebrated on Friday, Nov. 12th, by a joint procession to the Third Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg, where re-union services were held, the ad ministration of the Lord’s Supper and a grand missionary meeting in the eve ning. This re-union makes the Fresh-dorian Church a very powerful religious orga nization. The Old School had 27 Snyods, 143 Presbyteries, 2,381 Ministers and 258,903 members. The New School had 24 Snyods, 113 Presbyteries, 1848 Minis ters, and 172,660 members. The two brances united have 31 Synods, 256 Presbyteries, 4229 Ministers, and 431,- 463 members; The church division took place in 1838, and the two branches have gener ally regarded each other with extreme hostility until within a few years past, though the difference of opinion was very slight, and was not fully under stood by the majority of the members. The first General Assembly of the United Church will beheld next May ■in' Philadelphia. The Church has ap propriated five million dollars to mis sionary purposes, as a thank-offering. The Brooks assassins, who had been convicted before Judge Ludlow, of the Philadelphia Quarter Sessions Court, of an assault and battery with intent to kill James Brooks, were sentenced on Saturday last. Their sentence was—“to pay a fine of $l,OOO, and to undergo an imprisonment in the penitentiary of six years, eleven months and twenty three days.” The prisoners (Hugh Mar row and James Dougherty,) are young men, and had been hired to kill Mr. Brooks, who was a government detect ive.

The book is well writ ten and profusely illustrated. It Con sists of a sketch of woman’s social posi tion in all ages and countries, her pre sent legal status—her physiological, so cial, moral and intellectual relations to man—and her true sphere—together with an argument on the folly, inexpe diency and danger of woman suffrage.
