[For the REPJ/ITSII SUNDAY IN SAN FRANOISOO: , It was a beautiful day in October, with a warm southerly breeze stir ring the clehr • atmosphere, and the -sun beaming gently down upon the many-colored houses, and the crowds of Well-dressed loiterers, wha were seeking recreation from the labors-Of the past week, in promenading the spacious streets, or admiring the fragrant beauties of the "Plaza," whiehdent their quiet grace to the calm placidity of the evening hour,— as I took my way toward a noble looking Cliiirch, whose tall,spire arose in the dista nce, richly gilded by the softened rayii , „ef.the departing sun. Mingling with the crowd, ; whose footsteps were that • 'fling, I soon found wys.elf before the sa ed edifice. - It'was a large lu \ ilding, built in the ancient - Gothic style, with : rich stained glass windows, huge .yetdeli- Catc _spires and gables, i nii a mass ive ornamented poech,-s rip - Oriel by Corinthian pillars, A broad flight of marbie\l;us In ,„ • * Alit/Lb . wore 0 iiculy carved oak, embossed thickl with' 'brazen nails. , ' I walked inside; the air was . eol end refreshing, and . the twill* glimmering through the windoW: Cast a soft and subdued atmosphere On the : scene,—a Species of holy cairn, which vague and intangible, yet , per vaded the building as if divine aroma, soothing and grateful to the senses. The light from the chandeliers, hitherto burning dimly in the deep= eniug twilight, now blazed up bril liantly as night let fall her curtain,-- 7 - discovering the faces of the congrej gation all serious and expectant. I3eing'shown to a seat, I sat down' for the few minutes previous to the 'commencement of the service; while the . organ, in subdued and . thrilling tones filled the • edifice with holy - Towanda, Pa II And here come the choir ! Two ladies and two gentlemen filed in from the chancel, and walking along the aisle,- took their.seats in front 'of the organ, which was situated in the nave lof the church; on theleft hand, and raised .above• the audience; the chori.4ters being behind a species r of balustrade, which served also as a reading desk. " Soon after, the clergyman appear ed; a tall, slightly formed man, with gray hair and beard, who walked with measured step and reverent de meanor to the reading desk. The music ceases, and the service commences with the psalms, which are read by minister and, choir, the congregation remaining silent, though standitig. Then the clergyman, in a sonorous and expressive voice, yead a lesson from the Old Teitament; after. which the organ commenced a chant,' which I recognized .immedi ately Ats 44eing often sung in England. As the singing commenced I join ed,—it was the " venile" in a voice which was far from weak, boNiever questionable in point of melody,— when what was my surprise and con fusion to find I was the only person amofigst the vast concourse, with the exception of the four choristers, who. joined in the psalni. Being a considerable distance from the choir, I was.all the more conspic uous, as mine was the only voice amongst hundreds of people on my side of the building. ` '`however mas tered my confasion l and sang the first verse throughout, as I thought it would look rather -mare if 1 were to stop in the middle,—though I must say that a flush mounted to my brow, as I noticed . the surprised looks which were directed towards me from hundreds of eyes, and felt no little relief when the verso was over. PROPRL67OE. But my attention was soon called from this embarrassing •vonfrelemps, by the divine voices of the choir; it was entrancing . ! I had never beard anything like-it; every note was as clear as the song of the lark, and the psalm was sang with a power and effect rarely equalled. I was subse quently-told, these were the profes atonal "stars" of the town, and were engaged to sing hero every Sunday. The service passed on without any thing peculiarly noticeable, until the interlude was being givenon the or gan, before the last verse 'of the hymn; when tb myastonishment, the pulpit, which was in the wing of the church, commenced moving gently across the floor, by no visible means, until it arrived in the centre of the building, where it remained station my, and , the clergyman in his black robes was discernable in the attitude of prayer.

' One other place of worship I visit ed whfie inflan Francisco, which left a vivid impression of its beautiek on My mind, and which I! cannot' pass . without a few descriptive, words: \._ I had walked to the "west end" of the town, and was - leisurely strolling along the pavement, admiring the stately and handsome edifices on all sides, when I was accosted by a gen tlemen of unobtrusive and propos seasing eppearance, who bowed, and apologizing for stopping me, asked if ill I would mind entering a chapel which I was.passing; an eminent di vine was to preach that evening, and as I was apparently a 'stranger would excuse his solicitatiens. II immediately answered that I should be very pleased to enter with him; and he escorted me into an ex ceedingly plain building, up a flight of stairs, and along a corridor of considerable length, laid down with unpretentious Indian ;netting. He came to a dodr, Which was oliened, add we passed into the saz cred . huilding. , 1 r : I was all amazement at the, scene which met my eye. I had' ex pected to;find en unadorned and' primitive apartment, ill-fitted and unconiforta ble, bnt imaginit my surprise when I found myself in a large - :and lofty hall, capable of accommodating two thousand people. I ' ' The roof, one mass of frescoed beauties of rare color and design, was supported by eight immense pil- larsaf a golden hue; the Walls were of 1 a delicate tint, and aderned with representations, in ethereal! hies,, of sacred subjects. The windows, cor niced magnificently, were ', screened 'hi vivid c rimson curtains, shutting out the iast remains of twilight; stu pendous chtuideliers depended' from ,the rod e bathing everythidg in light, rave the - chancel, which was, thrown into shadow. 1 1 This chancel was a masterpiece of art; approached by broad 1 steps of granite, it was laid with tesselated paiement, and in the centre was a group :of "'angelic" stattiary. The rod was a - canopy supported by or namental pillars, and cunningly de visixi, so that it almost 'seemed a prAtion i, * of the sky itself, with its ce u uu.o irinilen ar, 1- , • • Pi kil being thrown into deep re lied by 8 billiant light beyond, you might readily fancy you were gazing on the pure blue of the firmament, when night had donned her starry vesture. And then, the body of the edifice ! The floor was covered throughout N ith a carpet, rich in color and soft to ihe tread as the gorgeols fabrics of astern climes. - The seats, arrayed in a crescentic form, diVided by spacious! 'aialea on either side, were covered • o ver` with dark crimson velvet cushions,: in which one sank as in a bed of &min. I Must say I was both astonished and delighted at the tout e l OenOle of tl , interior; it out-vied a nything -I ha seen before—or have since. l .1 sit the rare beauty an ta ste of the' surroundings, instead o drawing attention from the minister, seemed ranter to lend an inexpressible effect to I his ;really eloquent and earnest appeal to the hearts of his Congrega tion, which interested and captivated me beyond expression; arid, I thought —"surely divine service loses none of its power, not to say attraction, in the grand repast set - forth to lovers of r ho Beautiful !" Notwithstanding the beauty 'of surrounding objects, the service was Carried on with,-almost Puritanic sim pliicity, and'contrasted strongly; with the ritualistic ceremonies and prac tices so ranch in vogue in Pio latter day Established Church. 'I The service ended, I reluctantly rose, and walked slowly ont;—feeling as one in a dream,--with! the, soft . Music bidding mo a gentle lareiell. As I was leaving, the gentle Man who had brought me there;ldrew me aside, and asked how I liked the ser vice and the chapel. I replied that I rievor saw it equaled, and asked him who built it. He anEp'wered by asking, "Would you like to, join the congregation ? You like the service, tl4n join ! we shall be most happy to receive you." ' II I id : "I - saiL _ am sorry it my power, as I am only shbrt time, and may leave ot4er week passes."• f 'lndeed, Indeed," Said lie, " I for that." - • - I `.But you did not,"l sai) my first question." rNo !" said ho; " you asked "%ho briilt it, did you not ?He always be glad to see you when you visit San Francisco again;" and shaking my hart he' wished me farewell. Sunday is not kept as Sacredly in San Francisco as in the Eastern States. The Chinese work all day making cigars, and so forth, _ tiio lower classes of the I Nvliite men ,devote themselves principally to pleasure. They may be seen during the • hours the drinking - lioness are open, clustering round !tile bars, drinking, smoking, al . playing cards, some cursing their bad luck, and others laughing upr oariously at the opposite. , Excursions 'are organized for those who that way incline, ;on Sunday afternoons, to Williamstown, 'across the Bay, and other trips by water; and steamboats, decorated with bunting, fore and aft, dash gaily through the water, with crowds of people on board; bands of music play lively tunes, to which the excursion its dance and sing; the bottle passes round, and little spiral I donds of smoke may be seen issuing from scores of months; while some are standing or lounging about the docks, spitting their tobacco juice right and left, in happy dieregard of each other's boots, and the epigram matic, inscriptions here and there, of the following significationJ-- ! - IN=SE= ~~. =1 EMI . . , .

I life's diania, which has a, greater o less influence first upon those wh, immediately surround him, and the gradually upon all humanity. Thi influence pervades , everything au, everyl person, andPno one can'escap it. . Therfore, in 'order that we ma do our du y faithfully in the various 1 r positions o which we are assigned we must' now what to do and ho •. to do it. Teaching us this is _whS education strictly means. a . 1 ,ft Henry and Beecher says : ",N. l man has e whole of himself who has not an education, and eve • man has a perfect right to himself.' The thoroughly educated man . : well-informed, accurate, ever ready and possesses' the ability to tarn t. ' practical advantage every item o knowledge. The man who is merel • booked in general knowledge is no. educated; neither is he whose raent faculties have,been well trained, bur whose mind has 'never been store• with those facts which can alone -b: imbibed from books properly fitte. for practical life. There is a differ ence between literary acquirement: and education. Education ie initia tory, while literature is ultimate. Education teaches man his superi ority over i the brute creation, and the various uses to which he may ' apply it. It gives him information of all improvements in the mechanical sale since the foundation of the *world+ it imparts an extended knowledge of agriculture, science, literature and the fine arts. It acquaints him with the manners, customs and habits o, men who hei has never seen, and countries 'which he has never visited By it he is enabled to look back throf the long history 'of the past, and' judge froml it to :determine what is expedient in the presant; be is also made to,understand human nature, how to touch the secret: springs cif human action; it informs him whe the wants of his fellows are, and ho best to provide for them; it fits hi for every field of labor in which h may be placed. His edubation shOW? him ho .v he may work in every jade. 'vidual instance, to the best'possible advantage.: In. short, persons 'inva riably wield an influence in societY, either for good or evil, in proportion as their -intellects are educated. However; the education of the inte - lect is not sufficient of itself, for ,ifs influence may be directed for evills Well as gooa, without the advanc - ment of religious education. Thisls what makes a man truly useful f f good and holy purpcses in societf. It teaches him to abhor low, degre ed associates, those who would drag him down to their own vile haunt, and destroy him, soul and body, for time and eternity. Bat the educe.: 1 tion of his'youth protects him. - Ile hears, perhaps, a father's prayer, ietr lilies a mother's tears,---though Mal 'miles distant that father or moth y r may be. An inward voice of .ear y instruction whispers, " ' Go not in tihe ! way - of evil men: avoid it--:turn ,from it.' He is saved.. He presses on ward and ever upward, still bearing; in his, heart that imperishable legacy, early Religions Education. 1 i , , I The principles of religion anti vi r the must be instilled' 'into youth by degrees, in such measure as they ate capable of receiving them; for chil dren are : narrow-mouthed. restos*, and a great deal cannot be Ipourgd, into them at once..

These trees;; called by the na tives . chocolate,' grew io a height of twenty or thirty feet, and w ise ar ranged in groves on the sheltered hillsides and bottom-lands, in 'places where they could be well watered by irrigation; a wonderful feature in their 'growth was the buds, blossoms‘ and mature fruit borne at one time, so that the trees were in bearing all the Jeer round. The natives gath ered t he ripe fruit and extracting the seeds dried them in the pun; after which they were ground . : between, stones into a fine powder, and made into a kind of soft paste. The Span-. iards took peme of this paste back with hem to Sain, where' it - after= war became po popular that ships retia ing from the colonies brought in lar e quantities of it; .and When, later, the new food , became_ known gener Ily throughout- Europe, the raw 'material was imported into Spain where the secret of its mann facture was retained for many years. ;The preparation is' now called chec elate or cocoa, this latter word being a Corruption of cacao, the Other and More common name of the tree.: The consneaption of cocoa has of, late years iocreased to such an Patent, its value s an, article of heat-giving diet being.; generally acknowledged, that the tr e,which is indigenotts to tropi cal .America, is largely cultivated, and the , seed or bean forms an , inv.. • 'portant item in the e.nntn-ree with Trinidad, Ecnador and Peru, Guiana, and thr islands of the Spanish Main: The preparation of. chocolate as it is now conducted consists—begin, nine with the fruit—in opening: the ripe pod and extracting the twenty or thirty almon shaped seeds ; when a stiffieient number of these have been collected they 'are placed in shallor pits dug in the ground, where. they develop y sufficient !heat to pro duce a slight fornientation. When this lies continued a sufficiently long time, and the delicacy •of the flavor depends on its'adjustment, the seeds are sprped out on mats until perfectly dun artipeff to tne Eul.ol i e t i n mar kets.J , ere they are carefully picked over, ri- d roasted in large' revolving cylinde f 3, after which they are spread out on w ire frames and allowed to cool ra " idly. They are then placed. in a c shins mill, rand- the thin shell (which has a very irritating effect on the membrane of the . stomach) win nowed oat by .a fan.. The grinding mill, which is slightly heated, reduces the,nibit to a fine powder, ivhich is then ni'xed with,the sugar and farina, and so etimes flavored with spices; thami tore is then passed between heavy, llers which reduces it to a dperfectly smooth paste, in which con ition it is turned into the mantas. This fi ashes the ii. preparation. ,. From the m tads the forms are taken, Nveighe, , wrapped in tin _foil and marke for the market. . : . NITRO-GLYOEIIIIO. Nitr -glycerine the most powerful explosive known, ten times as powerfril as gun powder, is ,made of glycerine and nitric and sulphuric acid. It was discovered in 1847 i and first used in 1864. Glycerine is an oily substance derived from tallow or suet, or what are knOwny as animal fats. When such fat or common soap grease is belled with-soda lye or with any other lye by which hard soap is made, the glycerine becomes separar ted frotia the fat and is left, in large" part at least, in the water upon which the cake of soap . floats. In the man ufacture of glycerine, the fat is first made into soap, or, as it is , called, saponfied, and by a very interesting process it is then separated in . the : shape fan oily but not greasy sub.: stance. The glycerine is poured into a mis t re of ono measure of nitric acid and two measures of Sulphuric., acid very slowly and with the great; est care. The Mixture is then pour, ed into' water in which it sinks to the bottom without mixing with it in the least. It is then complete, and such a highly dangerous article that the greai t care i s need to avoid tied; dents oth in making and. using it: It will explode by friction or simply rubbing upon: rough surface, Or by a blow, as with .a hammer,: or by simply falling upon the patina, especially when it is frozen or bn;. comes s olid through exposure-to cold. For t i ese reasons it is very rarely used, nless first mixed with sawdust or fine earth which is called infusor ia 1-ear h, because it consists of very little :hells and remains of very minute animals once living in water, known as infusorrim by scientific peopl4 When thus mixed, it is . in the shape of a dry, solid substance or coarse powder, which, if put in a fire, will not explode of "go on"' like , gunpciwder, but simply barna' like se much rosin. But when it is used in a Vole bored in a rock it is so much powerful than gunpow der that it has enabled people to make tunnels like the .Hoosac Or the Mont Cenis tunnel in a quarter of tht time usual with gunpowder. It is therefore one of the most mein! of our modern invention .1 1 • A 'OOD old elder of . the church, who was given to extravagant,' exag,- gerat'on, w 4 at lasi called to (m -eows for his offenses in that respect, and dmonished not to give way to the., wetting .sin' iii future.
