M., of Joseph llonry, l.L.J)., and Secretary of tho Board ol RcgenU of tho Smithsonian Institution, threw this community, whore he bets lived and wrought ao long and well, into piotuuiiu irnet. Alt luvoruu wiid even a tlight knowledge of his charac ter It-It the m ol one 01 the brightest exemplar ot all that la puro and noble in manhood, and the world to-day will rocognne the loss ot a bencructor, and seienco will mourn tho loss ot ono ot her grandest ornaments. In a brief newspaper sketch of bis life, only a few of its most salient features can be men. tioned ; the perlect memoir must be kit tor some one who has time, learn ing, and the material at hand requisite to honor its rnemory with anything iiku justice. rmlcssorllenry was born in Albany, New York, December 17, 1707, and amid surroundings respectable, but not altluent. lie attended tho common schools of his native city, but was by no means regarded as talented. lie afterwards attended the Albany Acade my, and while there ho road a book entitled "A Fool of Quality," which made a marked inipresnion upon bis mind and created a strong desire lor reading. At this point in bis life, be was greatly ahmrbed with his own thpughts, seemed to bia friends much abstracted, and to be living ulinost wholly in the rcnlin of imagination. It was then that lid dreamed dreams and suw visions of the wondrous resource in nature, which somo Godlike power might evolve and make useful to man kind, llib uiiclu bad tried to induce bim to join with him permanently in the jewrliy and watch making busi nens, and though he tried it, his taatee sought other employment. Ho was attached to the Board ol Survey of New York Stato, and acquired readily :j 1.1.. .,:...: . i i 1 eunniuurauiu uiniiiiuuun, lor me ouni nest was congenial, and be made par tial plans to join the Typographical Kuemoers ot the United States Armv. Iil.lteG be. was elecuxl a Professor of Mathematics in the Altmny Academy, and in 1827, fifty-one years ago, he commenced that system of original re search, and made tbat first discovery in electro-magnetism, which in a tew years revolutionized the old standards of thought and tho methods ot its com munication, liefoft) Henry, theelcctro magnet was known, but principally as a scientific plaything, and feeble in its effects. The mighty energies, then as now, slumbering in soft iron, wero un suspected. He found out their power, created tho electro magnet, and from that day to ibis it has not been in any radical respect changed. A great sci entist in 1824 groat lor those days by the name of Itarlow had declared obimoricnl the' idea of an clcotrio tele graph. Henry's next step in discovery was to demonstrate how the difficulty ol exciting magnetic energy at a great distance could be overcome, and to do this he invented and constructed the intensity battery, and he went a step farther and proved how an iron bar of largo size could bo thoroughly magnet ized by a quantity or a succession of batteries witb scientific) appliances, such as bolicue making short but sepa rate circuits. It was this intensity that made the invention of tho tele graph, as it is now used, possible. With out it this tremendous instrument and power in the administration of the affairs of tho world would still be asleap in tho possibilities of bciepoo and Nature. Early In 1831, In a punier published in tho AmrT.'ttM Journal of Science, Prof. Henry distinctly outlined tho practical uses ot tho intensity mag. Met In the development of the electric lulegraph. He was now thoroughly aroused. Ho had no caro for riches. He was an explorer of tho secrets ot nature The only prizo that lured him was the gratification of finding nut something new. That same year, 1831, he constructed the mechanism for keep ing up continuous motion by the aid ot electro-magnetism,, and ho also made another machine capable of pro ducing signals at a long distance, and ihuw were followed by tba onnstrue tion ol an electric apparatus through which heavy' weights could be made to fall by the breaking of the currents, tlemado eloctro-magnets of immense power, Bapahle, some ol them, of lifting inoro than a ton. In 1832 he produced Boundary currents, and by magnetic induction the rlectrio spark.1 This year Ptadossor Henry was elected to the chair ol Kataral l'bilosopby In Princeton College, which ha retained until 1846, when be accepted the grave responsibilities of the position be bold when be died. He had pressing and munificent offers to return to his chair at Priaceton, a salary for life the same as at the Smithsonian Institutionand the promise ol 110,000 to his family wnon he should leave It, and from other sources h had many brilliant offers ; but he declined them all. In a hun dred ways, at this period, and after- waras, be was approached by persons who wished the nee of bia name simply in furtherance ot private schemes and stack- -operations, offering bim larre soma therefor but all these he firmly rjeclined, and to-day no blot nor stain can ba found upon lbs record ol bis official and private lifo. In 1837 Professor Henry visited Europe, and at onee was in familiar in tercourse with the eminent scientists thcro, particularly witb Prnf. Wheat stone, who bad invented the magnotio needle. In 1840 ba was elected Prosi deut of lb American Association for tb Advaaretnentof Hoiemoe. la 1868 bs was chosen President of tbeNailonal Academy of Soieoces, and in 1871 .be was made Chairman of the Ligkthoaae Board of tba Treasury Department, lie baa written awd peWiebed, ta vari- oua scientific Journals sad magazines, more man nity elaborate ireau oa subjects with which be was familiar, and many of tbem have bean translated into eevural foreign tongues, and he has written many voluminous and ex hanstive reports : but be has never written, singular as the fuel mat' seem one single regular book. Tho list and titles of his papers can bo referred to in the itoyai society catalogue oi scien tifio papers. In Johnson's now L'ni vernal Encycloptrdia, Prof.dHonry has a most oluborute articlo on Uygromo try, or moist measure, and in the same work he bas a sketch of the lite ot bis valued friend, James Wilson Grimes, of Iowa, deceased in 1872 the great point in the sketch being a vindication ol Mr. linmes' vote in the Senate of the United States against -the impeach ment of Andrew Johnson. Soon alter Professor Henry wont to frinceton College, in 1822, be married there Miss Alexander, the sinter of a brother Professor. She survives her noblo husband, whom she greatly re. semblcd in gontlenesa and refinement, benevolence and Christian charity, and she is the recipient on every hand of the sheerest condolence. Threedaugh- ters also survive thoir honored father, and the one who is an invalid is spe cially remombered by sympathy in her great grief. His only son was buried some eighteen years since. Professor Henry was a member of the JNew York Avenue Church, and, unlike some great men in science, he was an earnest bo- liover in Ibe religion of Christ, to whose lite bo assimilated that or bis own, as tar as bo could. When the discussion was rife regarding Professor Tyndall's prayer test, rroiussor Henry said that prayer was something above and bo- yond science. He was a most devout believer in Its efficacy, and around bis hearthstone, prayer was nevor omitted. Prof, ilenrv never durived anv necn- niary benefit from bis Inventions, and died a comparatively poor man. Home time ago B4U,0(0 were raised by 1 rol Henry's friends for bis use during his lile timo, and a lotter regarding this was read to tho Academy of Bcronres the Kith of April lost, at that time in session here. This fund will now re vert to the uses of the academy, He has boen a resident of Washington for thirty-two years, and be diod in the lull possession ol tho respect and afleo lion of tho citizens of this District, and of his wide and most honorable acquain tance throughout tho world. He wan- tod to live to seo a partial fruition of bis pluns to carry out the will ol smith son lor tho "incroaso and diffusion of knowlcgc among manknid; but it is not believed that they will bo materially nllored by bia death, for they are so oieur that his successor will be likely to pursue the sumo course. Joseph Hen ry lived a good and useful life. He has gone to his reward, and into the presence of Him who "sitteth an end to durkness, and scarchcth out all per I'octiou." IV(iA.'7fon Post. OVERWORK. When Prosident Orton, of the West ern Union Telegraph Company, lull his office on saiut-lay evening, April 27th, be is said to have been iu espe cially good spirits. There was appar ently every reason why he should bo. In the prime ot lite, be found bimsult at the bead ol ono of the greatest cor porations in tba world, and looked up to as one ot the master spirits of tho time.,. Fame, fortune, friends all these be bad already secured, and a rosy luture rolled itself out belore bim. On Monday morning following, instead of transmitting bis orders for the day, the wires wore flashing tbe news of his death. In that brief interval this wondorful man of business had boen stricken down witb that disease so fatal to genius, industry, pluck and perse veranceoverwork A . warning so sharply pointed as this, should impress itself even upon t,uis busy, reckless, and headstrong age, but It is much more, likely to be forgotten within tho wcok. The truth is that Americans, so shrewd and so far seeing in their management of large industrial or commercial enter prises, do not display even ordinary intelligence in their cars ol themselves. Tbey bave figured out exactly bow long a T rail will last under a certain amount of wear, tbey have ascertained how ollen machinery ol various kinds must bo renewed, they havo fixed the limit ot speed at which motors of all kinds may be propelled with advantage. they have .computed, indeed, the lilo and tbe amount ol service of almost overy object of human use, inanimate as well as things animate : yet the enduranco of the human mind, its capabilities ot labor, and the most profitable methods of exerting Its pow ers, they have well-nigh altogether neglected. 1 bus, for example, no ex perienced mechanic would think for a moment of running such a delicate pioco ot machinery as a Hoe prosa alter tho oil with which 'Its parts bad been lubricatod had become exhausted and friction made inevitable ; but though tb mind is an infinitely more delirnxo fiioce of machinery than any of human nvention, bow lew treat it with tho care tbat is bestowed on the proas which prints this paper I Looking at the matter, then, from a strictly busi ness stand point, it is indisputable that it does not jwy to overwork the intel lect any more tban it does to overwork horse or a locomotive. 1 ho extra work which Mr. Orton did before he reached middlo age shortened bis life probably twenty years, and thousands ot just such cai.es might bo cited to the in "effect. J her are many who excutio themselves by saying th.t they want to secure u competence upon which to retire and spend the remain der of their days in repose. For such tbe death of Mr. Orton must havo a soleavn significance. Th only repose that overwork will bring I the repose of th tomb. Baltimore Gazette. Oprsins fur Business. Th New Orleans Mint which has been closed over sine tbe war, is to be re-opened and pat in working order to Its full capaci ty.

Our readers no doubt have noticed that we have, abandoned tbe "Eastern War." in a measure. The "tricks" ol tho parties engaged In it, In tbe field of diplomacy, are as apparent to tbe stu dent of current events, aa those of the expert gambler; nd frequently of as low a character. r.ngiano fooled t ur key, and Turkey bas tooled Kngland in turn, whilo Germany and Austria bave "played last and loose" by turns, and now their great men are compelled to stand out in bold relief, as either cow ards or rare demagogues, whilo the of ficials ol insignificant principalities look on and laugh. Hut wc have digressed. When we started out we proposed to lay before our reader an article under the above caption, taken from the IV ew York H'orW, which glvos tho reader and student of edrr -jA and historical ovents an inside vruvt'-ui European af fairs. The editor says :- The account which we lay before our readers of the. principality of Ron ma nia, just now tho pivot of political in terest in Kastern Europe, will enable them to understand how deadly a blow Russia proposes to strike at tbe future of Roumanian independence and pros perity when sho demands tho retroces sion of tbat strip of llossantbia which she was compelled at tbe peace ot fans in 1856 to cedo to the now nationality. At the outset ol the recent war with Turkey Russia was forced to ncgotiato with Koumama tor an alliance wblcb she obtained and without which sho could ncvor havo successfully assailed European Turkey. It was the inten tion of tbo powers which wrested a part of Bessarabia from ber and gave it to Koumama that tho cession should act as a breakwater for Turkey and East cm Europe against Russia aggression. It has been clearly shown by recent events that so long as Rusita cultivates fair and friendly relations with Mourns nia that principality may be counter! on by her as an efficient ally in tbo prosecution of such enterprises ae at the beginning of this conflict tho Em peror proclaimed his march against the Ottomans to brT Her present demands upon Jtnumanla, therefore, are justly interpreted by tho Roumania, people and by Europe to mean tbat she is im patient of any restraint whatever npon any plans which the may desire to ex ccute in the East. Wore she to bb al lowed to occupy Bulgaria under the pretext of a temporary protectorate, and at tbe same time to tako military possession ot tho line ol tho i'nith, both uotimaniaand Bulgaria would substan tially become Russian provinces, and tbe lllack Sea would become to all in tents and purposes a Russian lake. Of course from tho Russian point ot view this is natural and reasonable enough. The Russian people have a "manilesl destiny" in which they believe; and as tbey have made tremendous sacrinoes and assumed great burdens in accom plishing the final overthrow of the lur kish power, they cannot be blamed, perhaps, tor thinking that their own manifest destiny is of higher impor tance tban tbe dreams and desires of the new Roumanians have done Russia' good and real service in this war. Had they not facilitated bur southward march and lent her the succor or their arms Plevna would neither have been fought lor nor won. Th Roumanians, thureforo, on their part would be enti tled to a bearing from the European powers which signed the treaty of Paris, oetoro submitting to a virtual extinc tion of their nationality, were their fate a matter ot secondary interest or of no interest at all to tbpse powers. lint the tact that Roumania exists shows that her existence is a matter of very serious interest to the European powers. Sho exists for the very par pose which Russia now In th pursuit ot ber own amp seeks to make it im possible for Roumania to fulfill. It is of great moment to Austria that Rou mania should intorvenc as a reality and not as a sham and a pretense between tbe Danube and the frontiers of tbe Russian power. It is a matter of mo ment to the Western powers tbat Rus sia should bo kept at arm s length cm cicntly from the control of the same mighty river, And above all, it fa a matter ot moment to the most impor tant of all tho powers of Europe that Koumama should become solidly ostau- lisbod as an intervening Stato botweon Kussia on the one side and Austria on tho other. It was because Prince BiB mjtruk aaw and ftrft ibrie that be eent Prince Charles of Hobenzollern down the Danubo in 1866 so promptly to ao cept the throno offered him by tho pie. bisoite of tbe Koumantan peoplo, who ollered bim .that throne precisely be cause they knew that by aocuring a Prussian prmco to reign over them they would guarantee their' depend ence as between Austria and Russia more effectively than in any other way. If there wore nothing in the traditions of Kussia and of Germany or in the sit uation of tho two empires relatively to one another which should make Berlin regard a Russian attempt to absorb Koumama or to reduce Koumama to insiKiiilkaoco with distrust, the pres ence of a prince of the Prussian royal bouse on the lloumaiilao throne would naturally incline Prince Bismarck and the Emperor to interpose between the Czar and th Domnttor. But, aa we havo already shown in tliese columns, Germany has mora reason to regard tbo development of tbe Russian power and tho extension of the Russian dominions witb anxiety and con cern than either England or Austria. A ltd this not morel y becauso Russia now possesses on tbe Baltic provinoes which belong tq Germany by all tbe ties of race, of religion, of language and of history, and which chafe under tbo Rua sian domination as Alsace and Lor raine never chafed under tbo domina tion of Franc even in tb days ot th Fourteenth Louis ; nor because it will be impossible lor Germany ever to at tain her natural naval position in th Baltic if Russia, already so lormidable in lb Gall of Finland, can dould ber sea strength by an uncontrolled maste ry ol tho Black Uea ; but bocauso a so cular purpose of domination over Ger many has boen at th core of Russian policy from tbe days of Peter th Great to tli present hour. Tbe breaking down ol Poland was th firat stop to-! wards the elocution of this puroso; and Germany owes much to the un hesitating genius of the Great Freder ick for tb boldness with which from that nettle of danger be plucked the flower of safety. Of all men in Ger many to-day Prince Bismarck is th loast likely to bave forgotten tho great lessons ot the Seven Yean' War. Tb tondor affection ol the emperor William for th Emperor Alexander ta all very well. ltba bad it naea heretofore, and may bav thorn again. But th Kmperor Alexander I not Immortal, and beside bis throne and waiting to mount it stands a Czarewitcb whose hatred of Germany and of tb dormant partakrt of (bat twrni-madn whiub marks all passions of bis house. Aod locked away in tb archives of St. Pe REPUBLICAN tersburg lies that notable resolution of the Russian aenato adopted under Catherine II. on tbe 14tb and 15th of May, 1753, after a deliberation of two days : "tbat it should be and hereby is settled as a fundamental maxim ol tbe Russian Empire, not only to opposo any lurther strcrannizument ot the King of Prussia, but to scizo the first convenient opportunity lor overwhelm ing by superior force the House of Brnndenburg and reducing it to its for mer state ol mediocrity." A century and a quarter bave elupscd since tbis resolution was solemnly put on record, and tbe whole history ot both nations during tbat period show bow coosis tontlv and patiently the on bas pur sued and tbo otbor evaded and defeat ed iu execution. For a timo under Na poleon 1. Russia thought it accomplish ed, and when in tho detente of her own existence she was forced to acquiesce In tbe re-establlsbmentor the monarchy which fell so prono at Jena, she did so witb a reluctance and regret winch be trayed thomBelves very clearly in the Congress of Vienna. Ono of the most galling results of tbe Crimean war was the necessity which its issuo imposod upon Russia of elocting in 1870 to side witb Germany and not with France, or rather to purchase tho acquiescence of Germany in the destruction ot tbe let ters, put by the treaty of Paria upon hor energies in tbe East. To sappoeo that Germany will now relax the hold which Roumania gives her upon Rus sians is to suppose that Prince Bismarck has sudtlenly ceased to be "a man of business in olitics in order to become a believer in tba perfectibility of prin cea and the gratitude ot nations.

Till- To the Editor of thi World : Sir i The striking, dispatch from Jacksonville, Fia., which you publish tbis morning, as to tbo Florida election frauds and tho confessions by McLin, ex-Secretary of State and Chairman of tho State Canvassing Board, and Den nit, a leading Radical politician there, would have boen yet more striking had the Asssciulcd Press reporter possessed a full knowledge of the subject matter. Permit me to refer you for tbe real sigiiifiuanc and a full account of tbe frauds now confessed, to tbe following telegram which I sent you from Talla hassee, and which yon were good enough to publish on the 2d of Decem ber, 1876. In the laborioua task of unearthing or preventing fraud in lire Florida can vas, which several Northern gentle men sacrificed much time and thoir privato occupations to accomplish, it fell to my lot to request of three of tbom tbe investigation and pi oof of these doings, now conlessed, in Alachua connly. These gentlemen were Sam- uol It. Thompson, of rfiiladclphia (son of tbe late Chief Justice); Malcolm Hay, of Pittsburg, and Geo. W. Guthrie (whose name identifies bis kinship), of tbo same etly three lawyers, young indood, but, for their years, esteemed of tbe very foremost quality in their profession. In four or five days they returned from their arduous work in Alachua to Tallahassee, bringing proofs so completo, so well-digestud, and so clear, ol tho frauds now confessed, tbat the confessions sound to me like an echo. Their proofs were so stringent, indeed,, that they put ex-Governor Jioyes, -of Ohio, now United States Minister to r ranee, to tbe t rou bio ot earning bis wages by as barefaced Com plicity with fraud as the County Can vassera had been, and the Stale Can vassers, McLin and Cowgill, were like wise obliged to be guilty of in order to reach their end. The prooft thus collected were press ed upon the attention Ot tho Canvass ing Board by tbe lion. Geo. W. lliudle, the leader of tho Philadelphia bar, and David W. Sellers, esq., his distinguish ed associate whose trained appreciation of their cogency and conclusiveness was my warrant tor tbtr drastic language used in the following dispatch to you. I bo allusion to Gen. Harlow is now good ovidence to mark his courage and integrity wiien, very nuumy unt-r these events, in a lotter to this New York Timff, ho demonstrated that tbo Tilden electors had a majority of the votes cast in Florida. But I suppose there are many persons of such consti tution as to bo loss affected by these Republican admissions ot those Demo cratic proofs than by confessions of tbe contriving or executive scoundrels thomsolvos. One must wish therefore that John A. Kimon would lay ifoirn the mission t Austria and E. P. Noyet the mitsion to Franc, and come home and confess the truth along with their unpaid accomplices Vinnis and McLin, JUanton Marble New York, April 24. Tallahassee, December 1, 1876. The Alachna frand are henceforth a dark page in tbe country's history, Tbe proceedings on Wednesday before tbe I- lorida Board of State Canvassers will stand as a black blot on even that dark page. They signifiod that North em Republicans who oame bora pro fessing to desire and to be witnesses of a lair count, bad chosen to shoulder and to share tho responsibility of their carpet bag allies lor tho Irauds, ballot-box stuffing and perjuries which havo her boon coptrivod to falsity and defeat the cholo ot .

The tostimonv adduced on Wednes day morning by tho DcmocratlcWna- cors was conclusive that 24 fraudu- lent vote had been added to tbo na- iority for th Uopuhliun , electors in .Archer Precinct, No. 2, of Alachua county. Three intclliircnt and unim. peached wilnosscs, men of good char, actor and long residence In Alacbua connly, gave a brie! and truthful His tory ol tho 7lh ot November at tbat polling place, Uno ot them tcslinco that at tho request of the inspectors he had helped to count tho ballots, and had benrd and noted tho declared and true result of that count. Another les titled that non-resident, unknown and dead men's names crowded the poll list afterwards made up and filed. Another, a, merchant ot Archer tor elevon years, bad taken down' in writ ing the name ot every vorer an out three or four being personally known to bim, as be cast ll vote I mm tho open ing to the close of tho polls a vigilant thing not clsewbero done that day, 1 presume, in all the United States. He produced that private tally MM. Tho laleo poll list, filed with tbe fraudulent oeriifieato of the return, betrayed it character in the compariso,i.

Several of these affidavits were In onel and the same bandwri tlng.lncluding the hnndreds of signatures thereto, made with th mark of a oros,trAicA -per it all that should be expcctiJ from the pens of the dead men. - Only six signed their names in a dilleront hand out ol 228 affiants- Many name of the tig natures by tbo cross, were duplicated. Th manufacture was obvious, pot skill ful. Tho wbolo document road by ex Govornor Noyos bore fraud on its face. It was not plausible. It ft difficult to conceive thai an honest man of any in lelligeoo should not bave poroeived ' tho character of the evidenoe it addu ced; but W. E. Cbandlor introduced Governor Nbycs to the board, and Gen eral Barlow sht by silent while bo read tbe introduction of this statement and these affidavits by Northern Republi can managors. It was a thing not to bave been believod beforehand. It was an insult to justice and shocking to common honesty ; bnt th miscreants who nil and riot ber upon th plun der of a p rostral people could not tbomselve have introduced and sup ported this egregious fraud with more shameless front of brass than, did thit ex-Governor of Ohio, whose relations are ao elosa witb Govornor Uaye.

Thoir testimony in evory par ticular corroborated and was corrobo rated by tho testimony of tho throe unimpoacbed witnesses ricming, Tucker and Blitcb of the day before, It was proved lhat their numes and marks subscribou to the itaycs auida vita wero fortrcries. It was proved that they counted tho 300 and odd votes actually cast, and thut no more wero cast, it was proved that they had strung tho ballots, locked tho box, aud proclaimed the true result. It was proved that they tiad afterwards been approached una offered bribes by Republican officials to help falsify tbe true returns. Now tor a correct apprehension of ine a lac n u a irauus thus exposed, and oi others whicn remain to be exposed it is always to be remembered that the wbole election machinery of tbe Slate in ovcry precinct, is in tho absolute control of the Republican party, and dircctod by tho creatures and appoint ees ol uovernor Stearns, who was bim self a candidate for re-election. Frauds in'spito of and against tbo partisan scannings of Republican election offi cers are therefore not to be presumed ; out irauds with their connivanco are easy indeed. liow largo must bo tho Democratic majority which such frauds did not suffice to overcome. It is to be remembered also that tbe election laws of Florida are designed and en acted to assist the successful perpetra tion of fraud, not to render it difficult. The Alachua frauds were tho contri. vance of Governor Steam's Immodiate deputy and friend in that county, a scoundrel1 named Dennis, who, when the names ot Moore and Dukes were called yestorday, shot out of the board room and took to his legs like a thief, in the bone, 1 suppose, ot finding some united States Marshal to intercept these humble witnesses by an arrest, but be was loo late. Their testimony. which no honest man could discredit who heard it given and baw the many incidental uncontrived marks of truth which it bora, fixed tho cbaroctor of Alacbua Irauds Tbe testimony also exposed the desperalo necessity and consent ot th men bcre who tak or. dor.i from Zach Chandler to back np inose frauds wun Dnoery and lorttery. .

It i no new thing tbat men should wear th livery of th court of Heaven to serve tbe devil in ; but surely it begins to bo lime for business mon to look closer into the conduct ot officials who hold iu trust tb money of others, and that professions of piety should not pans current, for mora than their true commercial value. While it is certain that a sincere and God-fearing chris tian must bo an honest mto. it by no means follows that all honest men are pious, or tbat all who proclaim their piety are honost. A melancholy fea ture of the trouble it tbat christian communities are so slow to believe lhat professors of religion are hypocrites, and thus tbey rally around men who have been guilty of gross breaches ot morality, and make common causa with them, to tho great scandal of th church. In the bosotted devotion which Plymouth church showed for Henry Ward Beochor, the fact that Schuyler Colfax still goes around lecturing to young mens' christian associations, and grading from these down to the low. ost hypocrites, there is always a sane tunry for sanctimonious fraud. In recent synod of a great christian church there was a learned discussion ot the "physical effects of prayer" a question we bave no Intention to con aider. For how small are tb inter est which depend on it solution in comparison with the spiritual and mor al results of prayer ; and how subtle is the assault on even th spiritual ef fectsof prayer, when the jeering world can look on and tee men loudest in the tabernacle on Sunday are-swindling in tba bank on Monday ; men who are giving to tb establishment of missions to-day and robbing tbe widow and or phan of their savings to morrow I Far be it from us to say that true religion is not tbe ruling motivo of many no blo and useful lives. On the contrary, we know that it elevates the moral nature ot all those who live by it But in religion the great fact ia th rela tion ot man to God : morality touches only the relation of man t man. And though these two go hand in band, it is natural tbat the first in tbe minds of many should overshadow tb second. Tbat christian people should be ready to forgive tbe sin ot an ernng brother may be vory well, but tboy should not be ready at the same time to condone or shelter tho crime i tho offence against God can be left to Hit justice and mercy; the Offense against the fellow-man should be punished with inoxorablosoverity. Unless thit is done there will be a conflict hereafter, com pared with which that botwecn relig ion and science will be insignificant: it will be the conflict of religion and morality.
