The Responsibility of the churches.
-. Among. the causes which conspire to fill,
and - -- tt e
honsee of ill fame, forcible rra dul nt
abduction hold a prominent place; but for
these, Christian people - are - not often re
sponsible; and, in. discussing the subject it is
prhicipally important to discover wherein
they are to blame, as it is to them we must
apply for the remedy.. It is the Gospel that
must redeem the world,and whether that Gos
pelis preached inside or outside the organi
zations which take the name of Christian,
it is to its preaching we must look for the
• npliftinir of humity. In as far as an in
.
dividu or a ch ur ch is gcr — idened .- by
l y
.he
law of hichn:intjot °Lone tittle cannot
pass a ay until all be fulfilled," in just,
far is or it, void of offence; and in_se T r
as'professing - Christians Tall short o f i. e
standard of the Divine law, in' just that far
are they "a stumbling block, and rock - Of
- offence.' ' In this position stands the great
mass of Christians, and almost every branch'
of thc4rofessedly Christian church.
They are a stumbling block in this, that
they follow i. -s permit their members to
follow the lead lof the Parisian prostitutes
who, dictate what our women shall wear and
- when and how. It is a fact, too notorious
for any one to plead ignorance of it, that
the public prostitutes of Paris dictate what
is, or, what is not to be worn; and that our
Christian women bow to' their behests. One
ollen wonders, as when they ordered tilting
hoops, whether modesty isa virtue, whether
it is a part of a true .woman's nature, or
only a whim. The Empress who used to
net our fashions,has •long since been laid
upon the •shelf as a leader of the ton, and has
found-herself unable to control the mode
even in her own:drdwing roohere her
husband's mistress has flauner new
styles in the fade of the insulted wife; and
American Christian women have adopted
these styles. Of course these women invent
lease tosuittheir own purposes; and we are
gravely told that the virtuous *omen of
Feria are obliged to imitate them or forego
the admiration of their own husbands. In
other words, the worst class of women in
vent styles of dress for the worst kind of
purposes, and respectable women enter into
competition with them, for admiration,and
fight the battle on the line laid down ythe
enemy, , - •
By far the most elegant toilette& I have ever
seen were onstreet-walkers, outrrocLsinaing
their shame, and writers tell us that the loose
women of Baden. Baden far surpass, in
elegancy of attire, any of the titled nobility
who appear there; and, to my mirid, it is
one of - the most 'unaccountable of all *unac
countabilities that respectable women will
consent to be convertedinto poor imitations
' of these magnificent moths. It is perfectly
astonishing that they are not "left alone
with their glory" until their contaminated
finery is as disreputable . as Alm means by
which it is obtained; bat, instead of con
- tempt for the arts by which they lure souls
- to destruction,oar Christian women render
them that most subtle homage of imitation,
and think, by adopting those same arts to
produce a contrary effect from that for
which they ,were contrived. Thus, they
leave-the more vain and thoughtless of their
sex without restraint in their love of finery,
and that love lures more souls to destruc
tion than any other cause, and perhaps more
than all other causes combined. '
1
Pashion and finery are so essential that
she is a brave woman who dares gato church
in a last year's bonnet; and to' zratify the
love of dress, ofrather to avoid the suppos
ed odium of being unfashionably dressed,
thousands of women sell themselves like
sheep in the ' shambles. Can we wonder
that it is so when the Church and Christian
communities have joined with the vile wo
men of the Old World—the recruiting seri
geants of Satan's army—to make their alure
meats honorable ? Who shall answer for
the lora souls, who have gone astray intheir
attempts to be, like the grand ladies who
sweep to communion tables in velvets and
satins, loaded with ephemeral gew-gaw
trimmings, which cost enough to support a
family for a year, while the poor shiver with
cold and hunger ? Who shall draw aside
her dainty robes from the contaminating
touch of a lost woman, when she has acted
the part of tempter, in holding up a false
standard of. respectability.
Do not our fathionable ladies teach by
- every act of their lives -that dress is the one
thing needful, and what protest is made by
those who profess to have come out from
the world and to be separate ? How can
we expect poor 'girls to stand alone and up
right against an overwhelming public opin
ion which sayithat beads, and bugles, and
fringes, and folds, and:flowers, and feath
ers, and a general conglomeration of fud
dles, more costly than good clothes, and
ephemeral as April anow, are essential to
respectability? Christian women t or women
whom the churches recognize as Christian,
sacrifice the honor of their husbands, as
business man, and the comfort of their chil
dren, for trimmings; and what right have
they to blame the poor girls who sacrifice
their own honor on the cemmon shrine for
a' little more fringe and lace ? What does
a dress or' cloak amount to without the
price being doubled for something to be
flawed on it, or plastered over it, or hung to it
in some kind, of way? : The garment itself
is a small matter; 'but the trimmings, the
„ . trimmings, and how to put them on 1 This
is so great a perplexity, and so grave a mat
ter of discussion; that I have sometimes
wondered if we would not soon have a new
• edition of the book of Comm= Prayer, and
have it introduced into all bur, churches,
with a special petition, for everyday of the
year '
asking wisdom to decide how the dress
shall be trimmed for that particular day.
I intend no irreverence; for I do not under
stand how a Christian can think and talk
two-thirds of her time on a subject that she
cannot pray about, and if-a woman's happi
ness and respectability do really depend on
• the kind of trimming she is to wear, and
\ the forms in which it is put on, she ought
to make it a subject of hourly prayer. How
many professedly Christian women Make it
the great• business of their lives to get
dressed? No one should follow a business
about which he or she cannot ask Divine di
rection. If engaged in any such, he or she
should ask , deliverance; and surely the
Christian world never more needed deliver
ance than now, for a frightful responsibility
is resting upon her. She has joined hands
with the man thieves, and partake - a with
adulterrs, not only in connection with our
' crown ng national sin, but succumbing to
the arts of the worst cfass of an infidel and
• licentious people, who are teaching us to
sacrifice houor -and virtue and domestic
peace to the arta by which they lure men to
destruction.
t.Tntiln.onr churches shall make a stand
against that inordinate love of ornament
which sweeps all before it, we cannot hope
to stay the licentiousness by which it was
created, as a potent auxiliary. It has made
• its way, as an entering wedge, into thous
:ands upon thousands of homes which still
hold its ugly another at bay; but thousands
have entertained . the offspring: and found it
..a• precursor-to _the parent vice. As men.
given over to a love of strong drink,
will sacrifice all to gratify that love, so wo
men given over to a love of finery will re
sign all for a litte more gimp.

LCorrespondence Pittsburgh_Gazette.l
To visit the Penneylvturla oil regions and
not meet with some individual possessing
characteristics which render him conspicu
ous among all men, displays a lack of ob
servation on. the part of the visitor. There
are a few oil princes, with rough corners
just disappearing from C their chW.
acters,- fellows who, a few, years ago,'
drove canal boat horses, broke stones or
chopped cord Wood to gain &livelihood, but
who, during the flush times of the oil mania,
managed to get rich through the stupidity
and cupidity of the petroleum hunters.'
Then there are the.amellers, a race of beings
endowed with supernatural - powers, who
- sniffle about _a piece of land„at so many
- -
difeats per minute, to•disoover the presence
of-"oil-away-down between the surface and
,
China. When the'smeller strikes the right
place, his nasal, orgiin is attracted to the
ground, and he
fills in spasniato the earth.
These paroxysms iast.a few monients; when
.the charm is over, and the smelleses,
drives down• a staker-ari
at the exact spot Tor
the drill, pockets his fee and marehes off.,
There are many who take large stock injhe
supernatural powers of the smeller, sad
would go their last dollar to follow his nose ,
in development. The faith in the ability of
the smeller to scent out oil localities has
been materially strengthened of late by the
actual discovery of good sited for wells, and
the fellows are reaping a rich harvest out of
the credulity of those engaged in the devel
opment of new territories.
There are other eccentric classes worthy
of place here, but we will take the better
side of life for a brief sketch of a character
who is universally known throughout the 1
region and who occupies a - large share of
veneration and respect. By common con
sent and custom he is familiarly called
"Uncle Billy, the hunter," but he was
christened, some seventy-one years ago, Wi 1-
liam Groves. He was born of parents who
were born before those of early pioneer
settlers of .America. Originally from Bel
gium—where many millions of dollars are
now stowed away in judicial coffers await
ing the claims to be made good of several
brigades of the heirs of the first Groves who
crossed the deep blue sea—this race of
people brought into America many of the;
traits and characteristics of der faderland,
hat rapidly fell into the habits and customs
of the wild country in which they had cast
their lot, and became daring and, intrepid
hunters and backwoodsmen. The early
traditions of the State teem with exploits of
bravery, endurance and achievements of
the elder Groveses, and while Uncle Billy
is the lent of the original stock who gave
themselves.up to a senu-nomadic lite, he is
nonkthe less a_ goad specimen of the pio
neers who figuredhim. He was in
troduced to life in 1 His father shared
the glory of' sending A
foot" into eternity
„
by way of a bullet wound and the
Ohio river, an adventure which made Major
Brady famous in the history of the country.
Uncle. Billy lithe very ideal of a hunter, a
veritable leather-stocking. He is hale and
hearty, 'quick in action, fleet-footed, wiry
and Muscular. He has two sharp gray eyes
'—all'good hunters have gray eyes—which
are strangers to glasses, strong as those be
longing to the ordinary run of people at
one-third his age. There is a look intel
ligence about Uncle Billy, an e air of a
true American isovereign. s ruddy,
ie .
glowing face, having here and there deep
set wrinkles, beams with benevolence and
kindness. He moves with a quick, nervous
stride, and thinks nothing of walking thirty
or forty miles a day on a hunting excursion.'
Let the grumbling, gouty old men at home,
who are hauled about on easy chairs, and
have scarce life enough -in their bodies to
arouse from their languid inertness, think`of
this and contrast their own condition with
that of the old hunter of Forest county.
Uncle Billy is a hunter from instinct,
training and desire. He has a philosophy
of his own, rude and crude, and yet broad
enough to admit of no doubt as to its sin
cerity. He holds that man was placed upon
earth, not to maw a fortune, nor make his
name illustrious. .Peace of mind, • content
ment, happiness, and enjoyment, are the
objects to be sought in this world of ours,
rather than wealth, notoriety or fame. For
full three score years Uncle Billy has satis
fied hia ambition by attending to his farm
in Summer time and through Fall and Win
ter leveling his rifle at royal game and
making the wildest retreat of the forest his
castle. What cared he for the wealth poured
forth at the feet of maze out of the bowels
of the earth, so long as all the deer roaming'
the wilds of Vemingo and Forest counties
were not driven from his, reach, by the on-
ward march of the army:, of speculators.
He despised the tempting offers, running
into tens of thousands of dollars, for the old
farm - on which he, with his , faintly, lived
and thrived, and lookPd 'upon the greedy
site hunters witlknocharitablkeye, seeing in
each one of them a full bontradictiop of his
philosophical idecia of. life.
_Uncle Nally did
not envy his 3teißhbdre,pit French Creek,
who rolled in wealth,. because, forsooth,
they had chosen- to; change places with
men of capital . ; but; prosecuting his agricul
tural labors with becoming zeal i felt satisfied
that want and hunger remained from his
doors. The harcest was before him ; the
forest with its bountiful wild game, his rifle,
his eye, his unerring shot, remained to
strengthen his ideas of contentment, and
he was hapPy. Could all men partake
of his self-satisfied nature, a happy world
we would have.
Uncle Billy is as full of thd anecdote of
adventure as any other livin- e' man on the
face of the globe. . He has bad dealings with
everything and 'everybody short of Beize
bub. Some of his stories would put the
best contributors of the New York Ledger
-to shame. Uncle Billy would run on all
'day, and night, too, in interesting story, if
we had the time to listen to him.' He would
prove a'fortune to any author •of the 41-
vanus ' Cobb school of literature, as he
could,'out of his own experience, furnish
fit

and
wolves, and hears. and snake., and panthers,
from Maine to \ Mexico. He knows every
strip of forest in the State by heart, has a
name for every towering hill 'or mountain,
has islands marked with unerring fidelity,
and creeks,and runs; and river bends traced
with marvellous accuracy
,on the map of his
brain. He can track a deer or follow shear
any number of miles by the faintest trail,
and as a marksman is truly perfect.
While hunting with him, he\ was disap
pointed that he had no fair opportuaity of
displaying his rifle skill, and in the absence
of game he determined to waste two bullets
for his own glorification. Seeing, fully fifty
yard from him, a stick of wood, about one,
inch in - diameter, standing horizontally in
the middle of a 'Mallow spot in the river, he.
took aim straight from his shoulder and the
bullet sped to its mark, cutting it in twain.
"That would have torn the antlers from a
back," coolly remarked Uncle Billy, in a
tone of self-satisfaction with the result of
his shot, •"btit now I'll show you how I
would blind the eye of a benr at one hundred

he
took aim . "and the bull.et, faithfulto a nicety,
drove tie mark into the 13ark: 'Our eyes
be, tigt of a muchlater style than Uncle BR
sys, we followed nit and shots bullet clear
—of the tree, a result by no means flattering
to our vanity.
Altogether, our hero, is a study. A man
43f sound sense, of well cultured mind and
self started train of thought, he is for aught
we know to, the - contrary, the best living
type of the: American hunter and back
woodsman. - He averages one hundred deer
and considerable other game every winter
season, which brings him a handsomireve
ne. He is of a religious turn of mind
too, but adheres to no sectarian belief
finding the foundation of , his faith in
the grandeur of nature. He . knows God
through His handiwork, and worships Him
in the temple of the Forest, where awful si
lence forever reigns, and where unspoken
sermons, more powerful than man could
utter, lay unction to his soul from the rocks
and rills about him. On the Sabbath, with
no eye but that of - the God Eternal resting
upon him, Uncle Billy enjoys repose, and
would not harm' anything breathing life.
He observes the Lord's day because it is
the Lord's day, not like those laying higher
claims to chnstianity, governed by the
wbrld's opinions rather than the promptings
oT conscience. Uncle Billy believes that his
hunting days are drawing to a close. He
reads in the many years through which he
has passed the - penalty
,of mortality—the
warning that death can not be far distant,
but he trembles not. Having, abiding faith
in'the merits of his Redeemer he is ready
to pass away when the awful summons
.comes. He has a presentment that he will die
suddenly; all of 'his forefathers have died
aged, but without many hours for immedi
ate prepiration. Sickness has been a
strangerto him through life, and he feels
that when the human machinery which now
propels him forward becomes disordered, a
general breaking up will take place, and the
engine of life will suddenly stop forever.
He would be buried in the forest where the
mighty chorus of nodding trees chant end
less praises to the Creator, and where Nature
forever holds communion. with Nature's
