CUMIN IN DISGUISE.
The Pall Nall Gazelle says:
lf, as mane people hold, a prayer affects( less
the object prayed tik thfur hitni who .uttors it,
the wholesomeness of: , some., recent petitions
must be something more than doubtful. Sonic
are jubilant even. as those. of King David
"Destroy T, au imr,adversariesr . let theur fall
by dole °wort: 9 m*, ;, lo__l 4 fruirkt,, e ottl* fall
upon - them • let them be cast into the fire, into.
deep pits, that they rise not up again." When
St. Paul besonght that Alexander the copper
smith be " rewarded 'according to' his Wcirks,"
the unregenerate man was possibly not _wholly
unrepresented. Few indeed emulate the di
vine spirit •which was expressed in the prayer,
"Lord, forgivetbem ' • for they' know not what
they do." Indeed, -the:he, =lnnis Of the old . He
brew prophets is manifest, and the so-called
prayers are but curses it disguise, conceived
in the seine • temper ht. which
the-- . 'earteri , was wont to address
leis BorSes, "Bless you! You know what I
mean!" When a certain dignitary was pro
moted to a high position, a prayer was offered
up in his presence that "the Lord would not
suffer our brother to be uplifted by 'this thy
favor ;" and ,we remember a gentleman who
was prayed for by a friend in a semi-public and
very pointed manner as "a sinner who needed
to be brought to repentance, and to see the
error of his ways," and who did not scruple to
answer with a Worldly " damn." But there are
prayers and prayers.. Our readers are probably -
aware that in the Roman Church it is the cus
tom for the different confraternities to assemble
at stated intervals, when a number of slips of
paper on which are written the various prayers
which the members desire to be offered up are
placed 'tiefore the preacher for him to read
aloud. On one . occasion a dozen
•or more had been •repeated. They were of
the usual kind. A mother desired the players
of the confraternity for the safety of a son who
had departed on a long voyage; a wife wished
for the reform of an
,unbelieving husband; a
father supplicated'for the return of a child who
had taken. to vicious courses; some ardent
proselytes were urgent for the fonversion of
sundry friends or relatives; a girl was peti
tioned for who had perused some controver
sial works and shown signs of receiving the
true faith. Then came a request that required
all the command of countenance which the
preacher possessed to read with suitable
gravity. "The prayers of the confraternity
were earnestly begged on behalf of a lady who
had expressly ! desired not Wbe prayed for."
When we read the account of the proeeed
ingSat the meetings held nominally to pray for
the Pope and his Council, we think the last
might reasonably beg, like the lady, "not to be
prayed for," at least by Dr. Cumming and his
friends. For what do. these prayers signify.?
and in what'sph-it are they conceived P Not\in
anywhich resembles even faintly faith, hope,
or charity. We' find the reverend rector of St.
Dunstan's praying that "the machinations .of
Rome may produce confusion, and that many
people may be rescued," we suppose during the
confusion ; while Dr. Cutiiiiiing'supplicates that
" the day of ROme's anticipated triumph may
prove that of her predicted ruin" (ride the
reverend gentleman's works), "and that many
may be brought out of darkness into light:"
Novo /the Pope of -Rpm! has .expressly
declared that he will, if only." Dr. Cumming
of Scotland " will recant his errors, himself run
joyfully half way to meet and embrace that
personage; and the Doctor replies by calling
the Pope and' his works Darkness, and praying
for 'his speedy rain! If there were such a
thing as a Protestant Inquisition, properly pro-
vided with protesting inquisitors; it is easy to
see that the days not only of Papists, but of
heretics,, unbelievers, and all other defaulters
wouldtbe of the shortest. And we have. little
doubt that it would be safer to trust our bodies
to Dr. Newman and the Pope to be dealt with
according to their will, than to be consigned to
the tender Mercies of Dr. CUmmitig and his
followers. It has been said, too truly we fear,
thatinit-for the iiidifferentists .and Gallica of
this world, the, zealots in religion would soon
rend each other to pieces: Well may the care
less "bystander say, "See how these Christians
love !"
Humorous Paraphrase on Treasury Re
gulations.
The frauds attempted, and in many cases
accomplished, by parties to deprive the Gov
ernment of the taxes on tOb,icco have given
rise to the most stringent regulations from the
officers of the Treasury Department. There
is a prevalent opinion, however, that some of
these regulations are unnecessarily severe in
descending to small details, not of any special
importance : but it is probable that the class of
complainants referred to are partial to the
weed, and look upon any tax upon the article
as an Infringement upon individual lights. The
author of the subjoined must have taken the
matter to heart with more than usual earnest
ness :
.";OTICE TO TO CONSI:IIEIL‘z.
It is said that Horace .Greeley intends to pe
tition Congress to pass the following law affect
ing tobacco consumers, this winter:
Tobacco chewers are requested to get their
tobacco fmin first bands, which is the first man
you meet who will give you a chew.
Where parties are in the habit of borrowing
chews, the Government will furnish each man
with a note-book, in which the time of day, the
sire of the quid, whether plug or fine-cut, the
quality and the time when the amount is to be
refunded, must be strictly recorded.
Those parties who have been innocently
using mistamped tobacco will call on the near
est revenue officer and give in, as near - as pos
sible, the amount which they believe has been
consumed. The officer will then furnish the
necessary stamps, and if they are chewed up in
his presence the Government is then satisfied
that no criminal wrong was Meant.
Those persons who maliciously carry two
boxes, one filled with base smoking tobacco,
to. give to borroviers, the other containing
superb fine cut for home consumption, are to
be treated as deserving of death, and hung on
the spot.
No tobacco box must have more than two
spigot holes in it, and the stamps must be
pasted directly over these.
When a quid has been exhausted, the Gov
ernment strictly forbids it being thrown away
until two red chalk marks have been made
across it, and a label attached bearing these
words: "The fellow who chewed this has com
plied with all the requhements of the law, and
persons are hereby warned not to chew this
quid again."
Tobacco consumers must constantly bear in
mind that the-more stamps there are on a pack
age of tobacco the cheaper does the weed be
come—in a horn.
The Government strictly forbids the use of
those tobacco boxes having a concealed needle
inside a nob on the cover, by which one forgets
his desire for a chew after having the instru
ment run into his thumb about a foot.
The 'Goternment has witnessed, with su
preme sorrow, many young men, and old men
a 150,.. when they. have. observe& .aa..acquain,
tance smoking a cigar, come out boldly and
ask, "Have you got the mate to that?' Here
after, in all such cases, the person asked will
exhibit the following label, which Government
will furnish on demand: "Mk me for ten
cents."
The Banner of Cortez:
!From the New Orleans Commercial `6l -- Dec.13.1
The Picayune, in a compilation of Mexican
news, lately published, had a paragtaph an
nouncing that the banner of Cortez, the re
nownod conqueror of the Aztecsjiad been dis
covered in the municiPal-palace at Tlaxcala.
This Is no discovery. it has always beenknown
that the banner Was at ,Tlaseala. When
General Joe Lane, in the Mexican war with
the United States conducted an expedition
to TelmaCan, south of Orizaba, in Pur
suit, of Santa Anna, on returning to the capi
tal, after passing through Puebla, he turned' to
the North and took Tlaxcala in his route. The
- 141 V 4et D
to
banner Was then known. be deposited, there
in kchturch Otutbe top
,of a and steep - hill,
and the Writer of 'this and several Others, Who
were with General Lane, bad theTelie in their
hands, were tempted to take it as a trophy of
war and would have taken it but that,, the
Ale.4.lde of the town and the.Podre in ehavge of
the church 'prevailed upon General Lane not to
allow it to be removed.
