The ghost didn't onro for the oaohelor there; It vent and stood calmly beside him, As lift woe one, who, for deeds he had done, H sal made him a, lad to chide turn. The about bent its head. and in whispers it said : • Wake up you old, gray-I:Wed miser! For you of yourself and your ill-gotten pelf Must talk without any adviser." "Oft!Lord !" end" oh! dear !" said the miser in fear— Oh! don't take my life. do not kill ine ! I'm vile. that I know, but don't send me below I I'll do whatsoever y ou will me."

SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1860, Edittltal iVanderlngs—Downtugtown. Mr *FORNEY : Misery, it is said, gives a man Strange bed-fellows, at times. On the other hand, Lecturing certainly leads to many very interesting and agreeable and hospitable acquaintanceship; as I have found within the past twelve months. It also shows a man places which he scarcely knew before, save by vague report, and gives him familiar know ledge of different phases of society and of race. I have several of these places to glance at, and shall commence at Downingtown, which is almost at our own door—thanks to that vvondrous Institution, the Pennaylvania Central Railroad. There is' a very bad system in this country, which betokens poverty of imagination, of giving the fame name to various places. Thus, scattered over this Union are towns, hamlets, and townships called NEWTON to the number of hetitreight. Thus, while there is ono DOVER in England, (the principal of the Cinq Ports; whereof Wellington was Lord Warden,) there are thirty-five foyers in the United States. Nay ; there are as many as one iuntiqd and twenty.eight places bearing the name of JACKRON, and over, one hundred and fifty places called WARRINGTON. Tim wonder is, not that letters addressed to such places sometimes aro missent—one for Maine going 'South to Georgia—but that so few mis takes of this sort arc made. The pleasant, borough of Downingtown In Chester county, Ps., is especially fortunate in having no namesake lu the United States. Downingtown, in East Cain Township, Ches ter county, was first it set Doi" about 170(1, but the ploneers-r-who chiefly hailed from Birming- ham, in England—had received a grant of the land some eighteen years earlier. One Thomas Downing, purchaser of part of the land, built a mill upon it, between 1730 and 1710, to take advantage of the water power, a branch of the Brandywine passing through tho bo rough. Doman, like every other "Jolly miller," wanted a house to live In, and built one. This was the nucleus of a village, which was first called Milltown. At present there aro three Milltown° in this very State, so tha there might have been n fourth. In me, however, the place took the name of its taro founder, and has been called Downing town from a period long past the memory of that remarkable Individual gc the oldest In• habitant." Proximately, water has led to tho founds- tion of this town. The Brandywine creek which flows bore passes southward to the scene of the battle at Chadd's Ford, fifteen miles distant, between Washington and Lord Corn wallis, in 1741. There Is also the Beaver creek, sl conraniently contageous," as Paddy might say. Downingtown thus has a very great water-power--only a portion of which Is now applied. We have seldom seen any place with so many natural facilities for manufactu ring, by water-power. Of course, it could also accommodate the more certain, but more ex pensive motive-power of steam. Through the borough, which is over a mile In length, rams the Philadelphia and Lancaster turnpike. The houses are solidly built, and on the old system of Isolation, each In its cul tivated lot of ground. In the centre of bust. ness the houses close up together, in a tOwnward manner, but the borough has a pe -4 culierly rum air, ritb its abundance of timber, and its w 'Orlinft4teva.- -Many of the de scendable of e first settlers still hold the here ditary property. The place has a wholesome, old-fashioned, substantial appearance, and though It is an Important station on the Penn sylvania Railroad, it seems to have preserved a eort of primitive simplicity. If the inhabi a.nts, Industrious and thrifty, do not enjoy the so-called luxuries of giot citfes, on the other ,hand . they eschew theNeductive vices. The situation of Downingtown, in Chester Valley, which surely deserves to be called 'the Golden Yale of Pennsylvania—because its luxuriant fertility is proverbial—made It, at drat, the most suitable place for Thomas Downing to put up his mill there, a hundred Vad twenky years ago. The cereal fruits of the earth, which that vicinity so abundantly produces, required mechanical application to .convert them Into food, hence the necessity for the mill. Next, of course, would arise an humble hostetrio to receive, and shelter, and give refreshment to the farmers and their men who drove in the heavily-laden wains of grain. Where there were horses, it would be neces sary to have stables. Without doubt, too, occupation for a blacksmith next arose. Then, a store or two; forDowningtown, now separated from Philadelphia, by the Pennsylvania Cen tral Railroad, by only some seventy-live minutes of time (excuse the apparent blun der), was then separated from the city by a road more than thirty-three miles in length, with its traditionary slow travel. Here were lialfa dozen houses, the inmates of which would require shelter and clothing. A carpenter was certain to meet the demand, and with him a mason or two. A tailor would be kept oc cupied in making and. mending. The dress maker would 1/3 a much later institution, be cause, a center? ago, the fair sex, in villages, were not above making their own gowns. A schriohnaster would be heeded to teach the young folks, and instead of the itinerant preacher, there wculd be the regularly placed minister, in fulness of time. So do villages -arise—and thus, tradition records, arose DOllll ingtown. This borough now COMMUR a population of about 700 persons, with an area of upwards of 700 acres of land. An impetus has been given to the locality by its incorporation. The en terprise of• its cozens is aroused to the im portance and advantages of erecting manufac tories and furnaces. Building lots hove been sold, and a number offered for salt) with a prospect of havitg nuniereus lino houses built in tho coming season. In addition to tho Alan tages it now possesses in regard to railroad fa cilities and public roads, $70,000 has been 'imbscribed to contract the Brandywine Rail road, styled the Downingtown and Waynesburg Railroad, and an additional subscription of only about $20,000 is required to complete it. The situation o'. Downingtown. Its distance from Philadelphia and Lancaster is nearly equal, ,with railnad communication to each place. It is saves miles distant from West Chester. As we lave already intimated, it is favorably placed near the ceptro of Chester Valley, the garden of the State. It 14 in a great agricultural and pasturage diatrict—ita grain, Block, and fairy produce obtaining the highest prices In the Philadelphia markets. Who has not hoard of Chester county butter and beef I Tim Valley extends, from east to west, some twenty miles, and averages two miles in width. Its farms are models of pros perity, fertility, and high cultivation. .In duo time, it Is probable that Downing town will have extensive iron works, for the district contains abundance of iron ore, yield leg ninety per cent, which, with limestone also abounding there, can readily be converted Into pig-iron. The railway facilities for pro curing coal and transporting the mihnufactured metal arc very great. We may live to ace Downingtwn one day rivalling Lebanon or Pluenixville in the production of metallic iron. Enterprise, which is the very lifo and soul of success, must invade the hitherto he reditary placidity of Downingtown. It may bo greatly improved, extended, and enriched by aid of Cailtal, which, it seems, only wants a proper eplere for its employment. There is no lack of intellectual capacity or quickness it the minds of the inhabitants. Education s particularly well attended to, and ono of thobest female schools in the country is here—tn institution which, like Mrs. Wil lard's esablishment at Troy, has long flour ished, to tie great advantage of parents and children. There are several churches and meeting-louses, of various denominations. The Rev. lashings Weld, (a well-known popu lar writer, via is now Incumbent of the 1:11s. copal Church, at Moorestown, New Jersey, where he Is deservedly respected and beloved,) was Episcopal Minister in Downingtown for several years. Downingtown also has a well organized Literary Association, which, among other means of obtaining information, has a series of Lectures throughout the winter. It was in the capacity of a Lecturer, before that Society, that the writer made that particular acquaintance with Downingtown which has enabled him—imperfectly enough; no doubt— thus to convey an impression of a place which greatly pleased him. The majority of the inhabitants •f this vici nity are engaged In agricultural pursuits. I availed myself of the hospitality of Mr. Robert Peterson, who resides a couple of miles out of the town, on an elevation called Mount Ara rat—a name said to have bees given to It be cause Mr. Dove Downing was the original pos sessor, and as the dove first alighted on Mount Ararat, the name was humorously bestowed in reference to his Christian name. Even now there is a dove within that cote—and a very pretty one too. Mr. Peterson is a young ar mor, but seem■ to know what to do with his laud. It is In good ehltivatior, and his grain and stock may be equally reported on. There aro many other fine farms in this vicinity, au inspection of which would deeply gratify all interested In agricultural pursuits. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, OF DB TROIT.—OnSunday evening last the first anniver sary of the Young Men's Christian Union of De troit, was hold in that city, the exercises being opened by the Rev. Dr. Duffield, formerly of this city. An abstract of the annual report was read by the President of the Union, George S. Frost, Esq., and several addresses were made by ministers and others. From the report as read by the President, and published in the Detroit Free Press of the 24th Inst., wo learn that none who desire to do so] are excluded from uniting with this association, the only qualification for membership being, the recognition of their plat form, winch, as incorporated in the report, is com mendable for Its liberal and catholio spirit. Their meeting!, which wore at first held in a Baptist, aro now held regularly in the Congregational Church on Fort street. Connected with this as sociation, a Sunday-School Teacher's Union has been organised. embracing all that are engaged in that important work throughout s tbe city. One even ing In each month is specially devoted to the inte rests of tho latter body. Tract distribution appears to have been a prominentyeature in the year's opera tions. The number of pages thus distributed during the year, at a cost of $175, amounted to 188,893. A Bible-class has also been organised—which Is pre sided over by a member of the Union—among the inmates of the United States Marine Hospital. At the request of the latter a weekly prayer-meeting has also been commenced for their special benefit. The missionary labors In the eounty jail, as given In the report, are interesting and worthy the emu lation of similar societies. The sheriff and keeper have borne testimony to the salutary efreets of the Scripture reading and teaching upon the prison. ere, who are said to evince, in many cases, a marked and very desirable change In their con duct. The Orphan Asylum has also been made a field of Sunday-school labors. Fincinesaly, the state of the Union is eat down In the report as fol. lows: Expenses for the year, a little upwards o r $2OO ; balance in the treasury $4. The oolleo. tion taken at the anniversary exerolee amounted to $ll5. The Union as yet nowhere lees than one hundred members. PENNSTLYANIA SEAMEN'S FRIEND SOCIETY This Seelety commenced its operations about four teen years ago. The objeot for which it was es tablished wag the temporal and spiritual interests of the sons of the ocean. The Savor', Home, in South Front street, institutei by it, besides being furnished with accommodations for the physical comfort of about a hundred boarders, is provided with a good library fee their use. 111214 some tan timusaud mariners have already shared its prirt loges. The influences exerted through this imam mentality have been of the most gratifying eha rooter. Hundreds of seafaring men have been thereby rescued from the pernicious associations which too often ensnare them, and their earnings saved from the jaws of land sharks. We under stand that ac multi as ton thousand dollars of their money has been at ono time deposited In the hands of the superintendent for safe keeping. To enlarge still more the sphere of usefulness of this noble charity, the managers are now making their an nual appeal in our various churches, and we hope the plea thus made in behalf of the sailor will meet with a liberal response. Tea ATLANTIC MONTHLY TuttaATasjD.—Tho Boston Pilot of this date (in which, by the way, we Endow sketch of the late Dr. James Ryder, conveyed, editorial remarks and all, without a word of aoknowledgment,) in an article entitled Catholic Elements in Protestant Literature," treats its readers to a prose rendering of a piece of poetry which appeared In the January number of the Atlantic Montily, under the caption of Through the Fields to St. Peter's." The writer estimates the poetic qualities of the author of the lines in question, by saying that the heading tits the Piece just as much as the title of poet would the writer of It." The lines are complained of as being extremely offensive to Catholics, and the Pilot concludes its homily to the publishers of the At lantic with this remark : " If we are again insulted by snob literary productions as "Through the I Fields to St. Peter's,' or 'Reba dl Roma,' we may have some further remarks to make which might not prove very pleasant." CATHOLICISM IN PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITT. —There are now twenty-eight Catholic churches within our city limits. The sparse which included the [swish of St. John's Church fifteen years ago is now occupied by no less than nine different Roman churches. Within the present year ono or two more are expected to be added to the number. At Norristown the corner-atone of St. Patrick's Church wax laid during the past year ; the Church of the Assumption was consecrated ; a new chapel was erected in Camden, N. J.; the semi nary of St. Charles Darromeo is said to hove prospered beyond till former years ; the cathedral of Sta. Peter and Paul has greatly progressed towards completion, and the first cross has been placed upon its summit. Tho present Whistle population of Philadelphia Is estimated at 130,000 BASSOSI•STREHT BAPTIST CIII7RCEL—Tho con gregation worshipping in this edifice hare, by offi cial action, decided to leave their present location, and build a house of worship in the northwest part of the city. Their present edifice, from having long bean the place of meeting of thu Young Men's Christian Association, and the site of the great noonday prayer meetings, whioh still continue to bo largely attended, hoe become popularly known throughout the Union. Its abandonment to secu lar purposes will doubtless be a source of sincere regret to many of our citizens. The present pastor of thia church, the Rev. Merriwether Winston, we understand, has, through his fidelity to their inte rests, become greatly endeared to the member, of his flock. CIGAIIS 110R3 EXPPINIMI THAN BRHAD.—Rev. Dr. Hawes, of Hartford, Conn., recently preaehell a etroug sermon against the use of tobacco. Ile exhibited fasts and statistics showing its destruc tion of health and sanity, its demoralizing bun. enee, and Its useless expense. It costs the people of the United Steles over forty million dollars an nually—far more than is spent for all purposes of education. New York city uses up daily $lO,OOO In cigars and $8,500 in breed. He predicted that the valley of the Connecticut would be blasted by it and become as barren as the old tobacco fields of Virginia and Maryland. BRIGHTON, ENGLAND.—The Unitarian eongrega• lion at Brighton, bare unanimously elected Rev, Itobort Ainslie to be their pastor. Mr. Ainslie was formerly a distinguished minister of the Independ ent denomination, and was first introduced to the attention of Unitarians as a warm but candid op ponent., at some of the lectures delivered on behalf of the London District Booiety, at Chelsea, about eight years ago.—London Inquirer. TURODAT of last week was observed In LSWIOIIOII as a day of fasting and prayer. Religious aervices were held in the different churches. ft was a rea son of unusual solemnity. The amount contributed for the relief of the suffering has reached nearly sll,ooo.—Antsrfrarl Presbyterian. PRKSENTATION.--WO notice by the Newport Daily A'etos that the Swami Baptist Church of that city presented their pastor, Bev. C. 11. Mal com, upon New Year's, with a letter of affectionate greeting and several pieces of silver, among them a pair of rich and elegant goblets. Tea SKIIINARY.—The General Episcopal Theo logical Seminary at New York numbers fifty-seven students. Twenty-nine entered this term, of which all but four are from the diocese of New York. MISSISSIPPI AND MASSACIICSETTS.-A public mooting has just boon held in Vicksburg, in Mis sissippi, for the purpose of offering sympathy and old to tho sufferers by tho late terrible disaster at ',Emmet), in Mazsaehnsotts. It gives us sineore pleasure to record this initanoe of Southern mag nanimity and generous impulse. It shows that the seotionalestrangemont which is so unhappily grow ing upon both the groat divisions of our t:onfedera• oy, has not yet become virulent enough to over• power the sentiment of acommon origin, or to rup ture the bond of fraternal feeling which unites the citizens of States, however remote from ono anoth• er, as members of one undivided, if nut indivisible, geTublic,—/Veut York Times.

The impression which had previously rested on our minds as to the preen.- of poisoning liquors intended for drink for human, beings has been strengthened by testimony siren before us. The miurious effects of the intemperate use of sunple alcoholic drinks are gad enough to ronteu plate, and hard ler the community to bear; involving, as it does, individual and family sor row., degradation and misery that eannot be estimated. and entailing upon those who instate the public, burdens a vast amount of expense, besides rendentig less se cure the possession of the invaluable right of every well regulated community—peace.
