THE SKATES.
Tt skater lightly laughs and glide,
Unknown lhat beneath the ico
Whereon he carves his lair device
A stiffened corpse in silence glides
It glireth upward athis play;
Iueold. blue, rigid fingers steal
Eeneith the tracing of his heel,
It floats along and floats a way.
He has not seen its horrors pass ;
Ilis heart is blithe ; the Tillage hears
His distant laughter; he careers
In festive waits athwart the glass.
We are the skaters, we who skim
The snrface of Life's solemn flood,
And drive with gladness in our Mood,
A daring dance from brim to brim.
Our feet are swift, our faces born.
Our hopes aspire like soaring birds;
The world takes courage from our words,
And sees the golden time return.
Bat ever near us, silent, cold.
Float those who bounded from the bans
With eager hearts, like us, and sank
Because their feet were over bold.
Tbej sank through breathing holes of vice,
Through treacherous sheens of unbelief;
They know not their despair and grief;
Their hearts and minds are turned to ice
Russian Amusements.
Id February occurs the famous festival of
Maslonitsa, or butter week, which contains
the sum and substance ot all Russian festiv
ity. All tie butter that should naturally
have gone into the consumption of the suc
ceeding seven weeks is concentrated into
this. Whatever can be eaten with butter Ls
buttered ; what cannot is rejected as unwor
thy of being used. The standard dish of
the week is Uinni, a kind of pancake, made
with butter, fried with butter, and eaten
with butter sauce. Breakfast dispatched,
come the amusements. Formerly the fro
zen plain of the Neva was used for the va
rious passtimes, but some years since the ice
rave way under the immense pressure, and
a large number of the revelers were drown
ed. - Since then the large square of the Ad
miralty has been devoted to this purpose.
Thither, for days previous, long trains of
sledges are seen thronging to the spot, bear
ing timber'1, poles, planks, huge blocks of
ice, and all materials necessary for the erec
tion of booths, theatres, swings and slides.
A hole is dug in the frozen ground, into
which the end of a post is placed. It is
then filled with water, which, under the in
fluence of a Rn.SMan February, binds it in
its place as firmly as though it were leaded
into a solid rock.
The carnival commences on the first Sun
day of the butter week, and all St. Peters
bur:: gives itself up to sliding and swinging,
or to watching the sliding and swinging of
t'thers. The most striking winter spectacle
of 5t. Petersburg, is that of the ice moun
tains, which are in full glory during this
"batter werk." To form these, a narrow
-affold is raised to the height of some thir
ty or fxrty feet. This has on one side some
step for the purpose f ascending ; on the
other it stapes off, steeply at first, and then
iur era.lnally, until it finally terminates on
a level. Upon this long slope blocks of ice
are laid, over which water is poured, which,
t'reeiiHg unites the blocks and furnishes a
uniform surface, down which the merry
crowd slide upon sledges, or, more frequent
ly upon smooth blocks of ice cnt into a suit
able form. This is a national amusement
among the Russians, and so much prized,
that an imitation mountain, made of polish
ed wood, is used for the same sport in sum
mer. TiieLooic of Early Rising. "lie who
would thrive, must rise at five." So says
the proverb, though there is more rhyme
than reason in iC for if ''He who would
thrive, must rise at five," it must naturally
follow, that "He who would thrive more,
nun rise at four ; and it will insure as a
consequence that if
'He who would still rrore thriving be,
Must leave his bed at turn of three ;
And who this latter would outdo.
Must rouse him at the stroke of two."
And by way of climax to it all, it should
be held that
"He who would never he outdone,
Must ever rise as soon as one."
Bat the lest illustration would be,
"He who would flourish best of all,
Should never go to bed at alL" .

Anti-Slavery 0hurche3 in the Southern
States.
At the close of the war, many of the anti-Slavery
Churches of our country endeav
ored to gain a firm footing in the territory
of the late Rebel States, from which, here
tofore, brutal force had excluded them.
The beginning was, of course, feeble, but
the progress has been steady, and the year
now closing has again made gratifying ad
dition to their numerical strength and social
influence.
The greatest success, thus far, has attend
ed the labors ot the .Methodist Episcopal
Church. It ha organized, during the past
two years, for annual conferences, Hol.-ton,
Tennessee, Mississippi, and South Carolina,
the first of which, extending over East
Tennessee and W estern .North Carolina, has
a mambership of more than 18.000. Theo
logical institutions, for the education of na
tive ministers, have been established at Mew
Orleans and Charleston. At New Orleans
a denominational organ is issued, which is
among the most outspoken and best Radical
papers of the South. In Louisiana,-lexas,
ana South Carolina, it is chiefly the colored
people who constitute the church member
ship, but in Ea.sc Tennessee, and Western
Carolina, it is the white Unionists. In
Georgia, the Rev. Mr. Caldwell, a native of
New I'ork, is meeting with greater success
among both white and black Southerners
than almost any other missionary ot a North
ern Church. The white Southerners who
are tjius re-e-iteriog into counuuniou with a
Northern Church are but gradually being
weaned from ttie very deep seated prejudices
against the colored race ; yet the example
of Gov. Browniow, who is a member ot the
Methodist Church, ."hows there is real pro
gress, and reason to hope that a closer inter
course with the anti-Slavery Conferences of
the North wi.l, by and by, mould them into
good aud soui.d anti-Slavery Methodists.
As regards the colored Methodists of the
South, large numbers are connecting them
selves with one of the two Methodist organ
izations, called the African Methodist Epis
copal Church, and the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church. Togethor.the three
Methodist denominations referred to are
likely to have soon under their control a very
large proportion of the colored population
of the South.
The "United Brethren io Christ" is one
of those religious denominations which al
ways excluded slave-holders from their com
munion. They had before the war two An
nual Conferences in the Slave States ; Park
ersburg (Vet Virginia,) and Virginia
(mostly in the Shenandoah Valley.) The
latter maintained its loyalty to anti-Slavery
principles aud to the Uuion under tryiug
circumstances. Both have had a large in
crease during the past year. Reside these,
a "Tennessee Mission' and "Kentucky Mis
sion" Conference have been established, ha v
iug together a membership ot about COO.
This denomination numbers over yi,0ou,and
is likely to tuake considerable progress iii
the South.
The Old School Presbyterian Church has
this year undergone a new process of puri
fication by the secession ot the pro-Slavery
churches in Kentucky and Missouri, whicii
are likely to be followed by some of their
Northern friends, like the Rev. Mr. Van
Dyke of Brooklyn. Thus the Church ha.i
become better qualified fur taking part in
the education of the South. During the
past year three Presbyteries have been es
tablished in the late Confederate States.one
in Tennessee, mainly among native whites,
one in North Carolina, ct ieriy among color
ed people, aud one in Louisiana, mostly a
mong Germans. Several others are to be
established in the course of the present year.
The New School Church, of which Horace
Maynard is a proiuiuent member, has one
Synod and three Presbyteries in suoee-lul
operation in East Tennessee, and is doing
good service by founding literary institu
tions of high character. Amoug the Bap
tists, it is almost exclusively the colored peo
ple who repudiate the association with the
still pro-Slavery Churches of the South, and
attach themselves to the religious societies
of the North. Many of the otiier religious
denominations of the North sustain several
missionaries and teachers among the Freed
men, without, however, having thus far
done much toward perfecting a permanent
organization.
Viewing the labors of the anti-Slavery
Churches in the South as a whole, tfie coun
try has reason to thank them for what they
have contributed to the establishment of anti-Slavery
communities. They would have
done much more had not the Administra
tion cast as many and as great obstacles in
their way as possible. As soon as the Fed
eral protection of Southern Unionists shall
again become more efficient, the growth of
anti-Siavery Churches will be rapid. The
speedy education ot the whole colored imp
utation is certain to follow. They, with the
loyal immigrants and those native Southern
ers who are converts to tree principles, will
soon constitute a power which the Rebel ar
istocracy, with its followers, will find it im
possible to break. Every anti-Slavery
Church of the country can aid in bringing
about this result, ami we hope that both
their efforts and their achievements may ex
ceed those in the year now closlug. Tribune.
A beautiful and accomplished young lady
of one ot the wealthiest f amilies of Louis
ville has recently pined away to a mere
shadow without any perceptible cause. Her
friends were sorely perplexed to learn the
cause, but all to no avaiL -Last week the
mystery was solved. The girl was discov
ered to be a sleep-walker, getting up in her
night clothes every night and visiting an
arbor attached to her residence, where she
spent, in dreamy silence, several hours and
would then return to the parental roof. Of

Racy Letter from Thad. Stevens.
Gen. Harry White, a Member of the
Pennsylvania State Senate, under date of
Jan. 3d, addresses Hon. Thad. Stevens a
letter, urging him to visit Ilarrisburg with
a view ot taking some personal interest in
the contest for United States Senator. To
this the stern old patriot replied in the fol
lowing pointed manner :
House of Rep., XXXIXth Congress,
Washington, D. C., Jan. 5, lt66. J
Hon. 11. White, 1'enna Senate, Sia: X
have received yours of the 3d, suggesting ,
to me the wish of several friends that i
would visit Harrisburg in the beginning
of n-xt week. This you do not hesitate to j
say is in connection witn tne pending elec
tion of United States Senator. My uauie
has been mentioned among the candidates,
and mj friends think that my presence may
improve niy chances by removing some false
impressions. H heu L allowed my name to
be used it was with the express understand
ing that, I should in no way canvass for
pi ices. I have an abiding aversion for any
ohce, but to solicit votes lor the office of
United States Senator is repugnant to all
my ideas of propriety. It seems to me that
lor that high office the Legislature ought
to be left wholly uninfluenced by solicita
tion, or any more substantial argument, to
select whomsoever they might deem best
qualified for the office. I have thought that
tuey were competent to survey the State and
select the man who would do it most honor
without prompting ; but there are peculiar
relatious operating iu Pennsylvania still mure
powerful.
It cannot be denied and therefore need
not be concealed that for the last ten or fif
teen years the Legislature of Pennsylvania
has had a most unenviable reputation ; cor
ruption and fraud have been freely chaiged,
and I fear too often proved, to have control
led their actions. No matter how honest
when chosen, the atmosphere of Harrisburg
seems to have pierced many ot them with a
demoralizing taint ; a seat in the Legislature
becomes an object of ambition, not for the
per ttieni, nut tor tne chance oi levying con
tributions from rich corporations, aud other
large jobs. Corruption finally becomes so
respectable as to seduce candidates lor of
fice boldly to bid for them, and to pay the
cost for the delivery of the ballot. The
very office of Senator is known to bate been
once bought with gold, aud to have been
trafficked tor an offer on several occasions in
exchange for the precious metals. Indeed,
it has become proverbial that the longest
purse is sure to win. So sure is this, that
men once or more detected in such shameful
practices do not hesitate to appear before
the public and ask leave to practice the same
game. How cau any man who has any
character to lose consent to enter into such
competition?
Foruinately for the country, the present
Legislature is above suspicion. Those who
were in former Legislatures, and were
tainted, have been left at home, and pure
men st tit in their places. So far as my
kuowledge of their reputation extends, no
man can be found around when there hangs
any mistrust. Then why should I visit you
as if to attempt to influence such indepen
dent and pure men. Besides, it might be
injurious to members if any who have been
known to Wave been elected against me should
change sides. The inference would be inev
itable that they had yielded to illegitimate
arguments.
When the election was over, if certain
members who were supposed to be expected
to vote for various candidates were to be
found going for one against the declared
aversion ot their constituents. nothing could
save them from the charge of purchase and
sale but the known meagerness of my purse.
1 would not bubject any friend to this impu
tation. For these and other reasons I have
come to the conclusion that I had better not
visit Harrisburg as yott request. Yours,
respectfully, Thaddkus Stevens.
Hon. H. White, State Senate.
P. S. Dear Slit: Since writing you un
der date of January 5th, certain tacts have
come to my knowledge which may oblige
me to reconsider my determination ; if so,
I will be in lfarrishurg on Tuesday week.
You s, &.c, Tua dueus Stevens.
"Whining" Women.
Brigham Young, ot Utah, has been blow
ing up the women ot that f ree and easy ter
ritory in a manner at once awful and unique.
He accuses them of "whining," and says
that they mu-t either "stop that sort of
nonsense" or else start for the other side of
Jordan at once and he tells his own forty
wives that he means them, as well as the
rest of the feminine Utahans. "He says the
kernel of the whole difficulty the direct
occasion of the disagreeable and unbearable
"whinings" lies in the fact that "the wo
men expect too much of the Saints!" He
says that the women even his own forty
are so weak minded as to suppose that the
Saintly Elders of the Mormon Israel can
make a heaven on earth for them and that
after a woman has entered a Saint's family,
and finds that after all he is notable to make
a heaven on earth for her, she begins to
whine and talk about too many wives" and
the "evils of polygamy," and such like blas
phemous twaddle. Brigham also says it is
his opinion that any woman who ever lived
would be disappointed in the best Saint in
Utah, should she marry him and on this
Kint we unreservedly agree with Brigham.
le Governor gave all the women warning
that two weeks from the date of his sermon
against "whining" he should call on them
either to promise never to whine any more,
or else leave the territory, bag and baggage,
saying that he would even send off all his
own wives, and go to heaven alone, sooner
than take such a "whining crew" along
with him. We shall await the next news
from Utah with deep interest.
Manufacture of Beauty.
A foreign paer describes the making
up a iasiuonable beauty in Pans at the pres
ent time. First among the beautiful appli
ances conies the Vestris enamel an elastic
pigment which fills up all indentations of
the skin, pockmarks, furrows, sears, eic
It is the same color of the flesh, and yields
to the color of the muscles. After being
carefully filled, wherever requisite, the whole
face is washed with bfanc Je perks. A del
icate powder, called "bloom of roses" is
then applied in small quantities to the
cheeks, (Not the rouge or carmine used by
actresses to neutralize the ghastly blue
glare cast up by footlights. ) Next,eye color
is employed to impart expression to the
eyes. The "eye color consists of three
preparations the first to darken the eye
brows, perfect their shape, and add to the
upper and lower lashes ; the second to re
move crows' feet, and the third, which is a
peculiar blush powder, lightly laid on, just
under the eye, to increase the apparent size
and add brilliancy. Another preparation
stains the lips and gums a "natural looking
red;" unnatural looking, from its bright
ness, would be the most correct description.
A powerful deiitifric whitens the teeth, and
probably hastens their decay ; the unsightly
hair growing out moles, and the uufetninine
down shading of the upper lip, are destroy
ed by depilatories; freckles and skin stains
are removed by paste, which is said to de
compose them and fcrm a nctv scurf skin;
tresses of any shade receive- the much admir;
ed hay color, or a golden hue, from "Alba
nian water," or any darker tint, by the use
of some other hair wash ; and the nails are
rendered delicate and induced to grow in the
form required, by nail shields worn at night.
Hegro Superstition.
As strange as it may appear, many of the
colored people here cherish the belief that
there is a class of physicfaus who practice
"burking" and are addicted to the dissec
tion of live human subjects for the purpose
of manufacturing oastor oil, and that for this
purpose the doctors prefer bodies with a dark j
cuticle. This opinion is so firmly impressed
on their minds, that no amount of reason
ing will remove it, and we know many of
them, particularly juvenile Africans, who
will not budge a foot outside their dwellings
after uark. An otherwise intelligent lop
ky," aro ploy ed by us, thus describes the nio
diix operandi of these imaginary ghouls, by
saying : 'Dey steal upon de culled persons
unawars, clap a piaster over deir mout to
keep um from hollerin', and den drag um
away to whar dey lay um on a table and cut
um up, and den bile um down for ile." This
is a cheerful notion to those invalids who use
the oil of the paluia christa bean as a cathar
tic. The Annopolis (Md. ) Republican
states that a similar belief prevails among
the colored people in that section, and it
probably exists elsewhere. How it origina
ted is impossible to tell. Washington iStir.
A Catholic Priest Turned Protes
tant. A remarkable event took place last
night at Clark Street Methodist Church,
says the Chicago "Tribune" of Dec. 13th,
where a prayer meeting was being held by
the members of the congregation. During
the course of the proceedings a Roman Cath
olic priest Rev.Fiither Kenny, of Dubuque
arose and formally renounced his faith, in
presence of the congregation. Father Ken
ny has officiated for several years past at
Dubuque. Serious doubts as to the efficacy
of the Roman Catholic faith in saving souls
have for some time agitated his mind, and
he finally determined to adopt the Protes
tant creed. Ile stated his reasons for so
doing to the meeting, and proJuced creden
tials from the Bishop and clergy regarding
his character, which were entirely satisfac
tory. It is uudjrstood that Father Kenny
will immediately proceed to New York in
the interest of the Evangelical Alliance, to
operate there upon the Catholic community.
Gold By The Hundred Weight. A
telegram from 1'laccrviL'e says thai gold
worth $50,000 was taken from the Woodside
mine, near Georgetown, and that yesterday
(November 12) the miners were ''blocking
.out nearly a pure solid mass of gold, nearly
three feet in length." If such a statement
had come from a stranger, we shoul have
received it with incredulity; but we can
vouch for the sipeerity and intelligence of
the author of the message. The finding of
cold in sufb l.irire masses in a lode is with
out parallel in the history of mining, The
metals in veins of auriferous quartz are us
ually in small particles, and pieces are very
seldom obtained weighing more than a few
ounces. Probably the largest piece of gold
heretofore taken from any lode in this State
did not weigh more than a pound. Rut our
telegram mentions one lump, obtained in
the Woodside mines, weighing 100 pounds,
and it is imferred that the piece three foot
long will weigh very much more.
