It is not surprising that we often see per sons wbo love novelty better than devotion, and stirring discourse more than the usual routine of litergical services, wandering phst the doors of - "thc church," toward some conventicle where genius is more potent than ceremony, and eloquence more attractive than the devotions of "two or three gathered together." Nor would we be understood as intimating that there exists a certain de gree of paucity or barrenness in one or other mode of church exercises. Take for instance ns examples of two -very different kinds of worship, that of the Presbyterian and that of the Episcopal dernominations. In the former, the prominent feature is, the expounding teaching and enforcing some doctrine of theology, or law of the Divinity, while the exercises of prayer, praise, and the reading of Scriptures especially, are subordinate parts of the service. But in the Episcopal form, the case is precisely the reverse; in this, the main object of congre gational services seems to he the worship of the Supreme Being, by prayers and hymns, in which the pastor and the people unite their voices, and by frequent readings of I the Scripture, while entirely subordinate to these exercises are the expounding of certain texts and the elucidation of certain doctrines by the pastor. Hence, it follows that there is in fact no such urgent neces : situ in the last named branch of the Chris tian church hr preachers of genius and great eloquence as exista among the major ity of the sects. It seems a matter of much more importance that men of e;s.emplary piety, sound sense, and learning, should be chusen to lead the services of assembled worshippers, than individuals whose talents and eccentricities may alternately attract 'or repel, delight or disgust. On the fitness andj super-excellence of either mode of worship, we have neither the ability nor I disposition to decide; and whether enlight ' ened communities should assemble together to worship their Creator only, or to be in part edified and 'instructed by the logical and eloquent discourses of an accomplished orator, we will gladly leave to sages, to casuists or enthusiasts to determine, con tent to take a plain and common-sense view of things as they arc ezthibited by social requirements or individual tastes. And in this view, it seems probable that fur the conversion of men, the exhortatory, or Pres byterian method, is the most efficient, while for the edification and improvement of christianized people, the services of Episco e nut without their peculiar beauty pack• and fitness These thoughts, (perhaps seemingly pre sumptuous) were suggested by a visit on Sunday evening to the First Presbyterian Church, in Arch Street, above Tenth, of which the Rev. Chas. Wadsworth is the pastor. The sernices were begun tin usual with a chant by the choir, accompanied by an organ of wondetful power and sweetness; I this chant was too verses in the story of the Pr 0 ril Son—'•l will arise and go to toy Father - &c. Nest in order, the pastor of lied a brief pianer, and read part or a chapter from the New Testament. After the singing of n hymn, Mr. Wadsworth made ono ef these singularly poetical prayers—part ,m!'cssiort, part petition, and no small pet non analytical es.ay—for which he in se remarkable; his thenvo was the wonderful attribute~ of the Deity, our in , ability to emtprehend them, nod yet our ebligatiinc to receine them by faith as re vealed in God's word and works. Then followed another hymn, after which the Rev, gentleman read his text in the 25th verse of the Ist chapter of the Acts of the Apostols—"Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." The exordium contained a brief glance at the proofs which exist, all over the 'finis crse, of an omnipotent Creator; not so much I from the existence of matter and animal life, as from the wonderful adaptation and harmonious working of all the parts in God's creation; not so much from the creation an the mrchrrnism of nature. In like manner, while contemplating the structures of lin ' man ingenuity, the mind of the beholder is not so much excited by the formation of the mortar and brick and glass, as by the peculiar adaptation of these materials to the necessities of the structure, the' placing of the brick where solidity is required, the Gxing of the glass where transparency is needed. So in the mechanism of man hint , self, it is not quite so wonderful, certainly not so indicative of an intelligent cause, that the bones and muscles were put in, to help make up the lining creature, that the eye and the ear were given him for use and adornment, as that all these parts and mem bers are in their structure most admirably , adapted for their offices, and put in the I precise places where they may be used to tits beet advantage. As this universal law of fitness and adap tation is found in physical nature, so also does it exiht throughout the moral govern ment of God. To every one of his crea. tures has he appointed "his place;" to his own place shall every man finally go, and his own moral wants and character shall deter ! mine th e condition of that place. Now to bring lour argument to bear directly on the sub -1 jeet matter of the text. Wean, told that that betrayer—of whom the Savior had raid— ; "Better for that man if lie bad never been born"—when he departed from the scenes of this life, went "to his own place." Surely then we cannot doubt that at least one soul out the millions created since the beginning, has gone to its final and appro priate abode. lit the plain and brief Itera tion of this last fact connected with the sacrifice of Christ, we have no right to think of the soul of Judas "translated into, adother sphere," for "future development," Oh, no: the word of God cannot by the language of the text mean to convey any eu:11 idea; it cannot mean, that even now, Holnewhere in the vast impenetratable realms of glcom which make the confines between the. present and the eternal life, that soul may wander pale and haggard from exhausting agonies of remorse and pain, thus doomed to wander for eye* of ages, whose immeasurable progrese.seemed the very end of any time within t scope of human thought. And yet, it, in the midst of all this unutterable wo, Prolonged through an ever receding future, that soul could know that somewhere in the mighty waste of eternity, there 'eras one spot toward which it could turn its weary gaze and say, Ali! there at last, at last, shall I find rest— then indeed would all the years and ages of sorrows and suffering which that soul had suffered or must yet suffer, seem but as single moment of time in the midst of an endless eternity of relief and rest. Well may we imagine such a soul driven in its tempestuous wanderings through infinite space searching for its final rest; and turn ing with the flush of reproachful doubt toward the Savior as he uttered those words of awful and proyhetie warning—" Better for that man if he had never been born"— "Oh! no, no, still it is better that I have been born, and died, and suffered; better that these agonies shall last yet through ages whose end my thoughts cannot embrace or circumscribe, for what are all these but a brief moment compared with my reward through all eternity!" The speaker concluded by saying that as the soul of the betrayer had in the fulfil ment of this system of moral adaptation found its own plate, so also, even to this day, do the souls of the departed gb away to their own places forever. And men provide and prepare these final abodes for themselves; they are busy all the time on earth getting ready and arranging their eternal homes. Every man is growing rich either for weal or woe. We arc furnishing those mansions toward which we are moving every hour, and every evil deed or thought of this life will stand like a ghastly figure on the can vas which shall adorn the walls of the homes which shall be our own forever. Re member when you leave God's house this night, and turn your feet toward any place where pleasure or duty may lead you, that you are only doing just so much more to prepare you for the time when you shall go to your own place'!" In this sketch we have only been able to give a brief outline of the ideas which were thrown out in this impressive and ;eloquent discourse. Mr. Wadsworth, in spite of his peculiarities sometimes approaching quaint ne4s, is, we think, the most impressive and attractive preacher in Philadelphia. His congregation, over which Ile has presided fur ten years, is still large, and the aisles and galleries of his church are always crowded with strangers—attentive listenes. The weather here is as mild as April and about as showery. The old question of re moving the market sheds in Market-st., has been revived, and the council have ordered their removal next spring. As is generally the case with antiquated improvements, the unfortunate sheds cannot be too much abused; we remember when they were con sidered highly ornamental. When they are gone what will be done in such weather as this by the lookieee proprietors of lost um brellas?—that's the question. The "Penn 11fanor" Hotel, on the corner of Ninth and Chestnut, which has to out ward appearance progressed far toward completion, has been stopped; whether fur the want of funds, or on account of the pass frosty weather, we can't say. There is no truth in the report that another Administration paper in this city, to he edited by Postmaster .Wescott, aided by Vincent L. Bradford, and Robert Tyler, will supplant the old Pennsylvanian. The latter is very spirited just now, and busy pitching into Forney, almost as bad as Forney has pitched into the democracy for a year past. Pa. TUE TONNAGE TA.l.—Some of the papers in the Western counties of this State, which have been opposed to the removal of the tonnage tax imposed by the State on the Pennsylvania railroad, are opening their eyes to the fact that the company does not pay the tax, but that it comes out of the pockets of the producers who use the rail road. One of them says: "Every barrel of flour; every piece of dry goods, every article, either to eat or to wear, which 11118 been carried over the road has paid its full proportion of this tax, and by that amount nas its cost to the consumer been increased. More than this, from the very nature of things, the local trade and the local trade alone has to pay the entire amount of the tax. The desperate struggle for the through trade, in which the NeW York, Pennsylvania and Southern routes are en gaged, is familiar to all, in consequence of which the rates from competing points throughout the West have been reduced to a puinf barely sufficient to cover the cost of transportation. Out of this trade no tonnage can be raised. What then is to bo done?— Simply this remains, to collect from the citizens of Pennsylvania, who use this line, the whole tax which the State of Pennsyl vania has in its wisdom seen fit to impose. This is so palpably the case, that we need not waste time in attempting still further to elucidate what is already clear as demon stration can make it." If this tax were removed, the railroad company could afford to carry freight co much the cheaper, and trade not only be benefitted directly to that extent, but the cheaper transfer would attract the largest portion over our own works. If the tax is a necessary one for revenue, though it was originally imposed for a different purpose— to protect the State works from competition —then it ought to be laid upon every other railroad and public improvement in the State, in order to equalize it, and not ob lige ono portion of the community to pay taxes for all the others.—Phila.

A Georgia exchange tells the following "hoops" story: A short time ago one of our citizens, who /ores his joke about as well as folks . usnally do, had occasion to visit one of the small towns in the interior of the State, and knowing he would have considerable walk ing over muddy roads, be took with him a pair of long rubber boots. kie arrived at his destination about 9 o'clock in the eve ning; and, upon inquiry, he found the only tavern in the place was half a mile from the station. No conveyance was to be had, and the road was muddy in the extreme. Con gratulating himself on having his long boots, he set off and found the mud in some spots so deep big boots were barely long enough. lie reached the hotel at last, look ing rather soiled about the feet. After supper, he inquired the charge for lodgings. "We usually charge," answered the land lord, who also had some fun in his compo sition, "twenty-five cents; but if a man goes to bed with such boots as them on," (pointing to his customer's feet) "we charge fifty cents." "A. very good idea, I should think," re turned the trnveler. After half an hour's conversation, the landlord showed him to his room, and they parted for the night mutually pleased with each other. The next morning our friend arose late, and, inquiring fur the landlord, learned that he had gone from home to at tend to some business. After breakfast, he handed a duller to the landlord's wife, saying: "There is fifty cents cents for my supper and breakfast and fifty cents fur my lodg ing." •'Twenty-five cents is all we charge for lodging," said the landlady. "Yes," returned the traveler, "under ordinary circumstances; but in this case fifty cents is not too much." The stranger departed, and the lady was deep in conjecture as to what could. be the circumstances which required a man to pay double price for lodgings, when her husband returned. "Ilas that man who slept in the fret chamber come down yet?" he asked. "Yes," answered his wife, "and ho has gone away. lie paid fifty cents for his lodgings, and said under the circumstances it was right." "The d-1 ho did?" exclaimed the land lord, rushing up stairs. His wife followed, to learn the meaning of such strange pro ceedings, and found her husband with the bed clothes turned down, and her best bed looking more tic to plant potatoes in than it did for any human being to sleep in. "You saw that man when he came here last night?" said her husband. "Yes." "You saw his boots, didn't you?" "Yes." "Well," said the landlord, "the infernal cuss slept in 'em." A few days after, the traveler, on his re turn home, put upagain at the same tavern. Neither himself or the landlord said any thing about the boots, which were in about the same condition as on the previous occa sion; but the landlady looked daggers at him, and eyed his boots with much anxiety. about 10 o'clock he said he would retire. "Acid, by tho way, landlord;" said he, with a merry twinkle in his eye, "what do you ususally charge for lodgings?" "We charge," answered the landlord, with tremendous emphasis, "twenty-five cents!" Bantus OF RA ILWAT PAssr.Norns.—The following statement of rules and regulations is based upon actual decisions of Courts, in the various cases relating to the several sub. jects mentioned: It has been legally decided that applicants for tickets can be ejected from the cars if they do not offer the exact amount of their fare. Conductors are not bound to make change. All railroad tickets aro good un til used, and conditions "good for this day only," or otherwise limiting the genuine. ness, are of no account. Passengers aro bound to observe decorum in the cars, and are obliged to comply with all reasonable de mands to show tickets. Standing upon a platform, or otherwise violating it rule of the company, renders a person liable to be put from the train. No person has a right to monopolise more seats than he has paid for, and any article left in a seat, while the owner is temporarily absent, entitles him to the place on his return. FLEXIBILITY OF THE ENGLISH LANorrAcx, —The College Record, published by the stu dents of the Western Reserve College, gives a very good (true) story tcuching upon the comparative flexibility of the Latin and Eoglish languuges: "You will observe from this word," con tinued the Professor, "the great flexibility of the Latin language. 'Pater' is a father, and here we have 'Patruus,' an uncle on the father's side. and 'Propatruns' means a great uncle on the father's side. Can you make any such change in our language?— Pater, Patruus, Propatruus—father—is there any way you can change father into uncle, in English?" "I don't think of any," replied the hope ful philologist, "unless you can get him to marry your uunt." Sen... Mr. Gurley, Republican candidate for Congress in Cincinnati, was formerly a Universalist minister. One of his oppo nents was trying persuade an old Methodist not to vote for him. "Do you think you are furthering the cause of religion," said he, "by voting for a Universalist—ono who does not believe in Noll?„ "Yes," was the old Methodist's reply, "if, by the time Mr. Gurley has been in Congress a year, be does not find out there is a hell, then I don't understand the pres ent Administration.

DRAWING OM CHILMS:I.—Some persons pride themselves on their power of drawing out the intelligence of children by putting questions to them. And occasionally I have seen it well done; more frequently, very ab surdly. The following is a specimen of a style of examination which I have myself more than once witnessed:—"What, deer cheldrun, what was it that swallowed Jonah? Was it a sh-sh-sh-sh-shark?" "Yobs'." roar a host of voices. "Non., deer cheldrun, it was not a shark. Then was it au al-al-aloillig-allig-allizator?" "Yobs!" exclaim the voices again. "Noe, deer chel drun, it was not an alligator. Then was it a wh-wh-wh-whale?" "Noa!" roar the voices, determined to be right this time. "Yobs, deer chelerun, it was a whale."— Frazer's Nagazine. NEfk-A good anecdote of Professor Agassiz is told in a new volume in press at Boston. The professor had declined to deliver a lec ture before some lyceum or public society, on account of the inroads which previous lectures given by him had made upon his studies and habits of thought. The gentle men who had been deputed to invite him; continued to press the invitation, assuring him that the society were ready to pay him liberally for his services. "That is no in ducement to me," replied Agassiz; I cannot afford to waste my time in making money." Philadelphia Division P. R. R.—Winter Arrangement.
