While few public journals are or profess to be devoted exclusively or directly to the promotion of virtue and religion, we hold that none should be supported in an en lightened Christian community which are palpably luut'dc to cither.

For what true parent will bring into tbe bosom of Lis or her family a medium of contamination of their morals or injury of their estates ? What avails it to send children to Sunday school aud to hear God's Word proclaimed, and to procure for them sound periodicals and rcadiug matter, if, at tbe same time, every attempt for their good is counteracted by bad newspapers, niagnziucs and books ? Invariably, an evil publication leaves a stain upon the youthful heart, which cor rupts it as the rust-stain eats the finest steel. "Can a man touch iut, aud not le defiled ?" We make no invidious comparisons or : special reference, when we say that very ; many newspapers are a mnral and pecuui- ' ary curse to mankind. Their publishers have no higher aim than to niako money at whatever cost to their own souls or to the best interests of their patrons, f be question often arises, among conscientious aud thoughtful men, Whether their fam ilies would not be better off, without, than with, the majority of news journals whe ther their evil practices du not far outweigh tbeir few virtuous precepts We propose to notice, in plain but truthful terms, some of tbe most glaring outrages against whole some laws, common honesty, and public decency, which mar too mauy of our news papers, and are thereby an injury to all. Aud in so doing, we frankly and cheer fully confess that the great and growing evils countenanced, we do not ascribe so much to any intention or hvVA to do wronc, as to tliowjhtlcssness and tcant of indepen dence. Certainly, it is tho imperative duty of every Editor to study to promote the lest interests of hit patrons, morally, intellect ually, and pecuniarily.

AVe often, also, notice that the managers of these devices are brought to punishment. A lew weeks since, a gentleman from Stephenson Co., 111., in formed us that a reputable citizen of tbat i county as honest a proprietor of a "gift I enterprise" as can ever bo found was ' r,,,,,,l 31 III! -n.l W r.r.nt $0111111 Vitt . , ' , , , . ,," T speculation exploded by the Grand Jury.

Calling a Lottery a "Gift," docs not al , tcr its nature, or avoid the force or tho lettcr of the laws above minted. The come burdens to their friends, or paupers and felons, under the influence of tbe brain-bewildering hope of a large prize in some open or masked lottery ! Ia times like these, therefore, such seductive "nui sances" should be abated, even more than wheii prosperity abounds. Probably "Gift Book Enterprises' are now the most common forms of swind ling (we say "swindling," because all engaged in the business, as far as our memory serves, accuse each other of dis honesty, and we believe thoir mutual ac cusations and criminations are true.) The love of reading is certainly commend able, but to create it by paying a big price for a book, in order to obtain a , chance for some golden attraction, is not thewav to foster thai leva Knot, an in. ducement tends rather to lessen and de grade tban to elevate and strengthen the taste for reading. It is not the look itself, but the prize that is concealed in it, that is commonly sought ; and the book is of ten cast aside, whether the prize be small or great. The moJiu operandi of these Gift Book Sales may bo thus stated: "Enterprising" publishers, pushed for money, or having unsaleable books burdening their shelves, commission some sharp salesman to work off part of their dead stock in a Lottery which they re christen with some deceptivo but specious name. " Ilard-up" piano manufacturers, pinchpeck goldsmiths, germao silver jewelers and brass-ring makers entrust some of their surplus glittering wares into the same hand as prizes or g'flt- Thus several parties putting up their refuse work at high rates not only hope to convert them into money but also to pay the agents' expenses end his wages. The true gifts are few and small for the costs will not permit more than are deemed necessary to keep np the excitement and the delusion. It will be fonnd that the j Munagm are either the agents themselves or their confederates or men of straw ; and that ,,,eir 1"""" are mos,ly at distance : so that lhfy have the hole machinery ia their own hands and bestow only u-hat gifts they thucxe. But it is urged that "Every one gets tome thing therefore it is no lottery." The Law however decides otherwise. It is but chance worth having or a merely nominal one worth nothiag. There are man) Lotteries in which are-i.oBLA!rM"-aligetungfomrfAm-baek- and yet the buyers growing poorer and poorer and the setters richer and richer. Some say "Wc always get at least a nice gold ring or a Congress pen-knife" rather, sir or madam, you'll be sure of a metallic ring worth a cent y decidedly higher priced than when on lne shelves of fair book-dealers.

It is argued that "good men attend an-) buy," and "religious papers advertise them." There are no men wholly good. The best of them do wrong, and when they countenance these pestiferous cheats they commit a sin for which they are as accounta ble as for any other wrong committed with the same light and knowledge. Bat we hardly think these excusers would go to a Peter Fnnk auction shop to buy a good gold watch, sim ply because the operators might open their en tertainment with prayer, wear a white cravat, and close by singing a doxology. We should follow other men and other newspapers only so far as they do right ; for we are accounta ble for ourselves, and not for others.

Glorious doings arc being brought to light, juBt now, amongst the custodians of our change ! very flattering to our pride who suppose Philadelphia to be the very heaven of morality. We are looking for some very spicy disclosures in the Penn sylvania Bank affair, which will probably bring out some new candidates for public "honors," and will tend to convince tho credulous portion of the community, tbat we have some rogues unhung yet. But, with all our drawbacks, there is a healthier tone in tbe market, generally, and people begin to find out that tbey are really better off tban they supposed them selves. By-aod-by, when the re-action begins to tell, why, we'll all say, "What' a set of fools we were, to be so easily tighteDed !" tui will immediately begin pi'ir up nr- aui .-x'rsvugant itcckf ; and bave our houses furbished np, and our stores beautified ; and our wives shall have lota of money to bay new dresses, and carta Uane on the jewolers; and oar older children shall make tbe tour of Eu rope, and acquire manners,and a taste for dressing, and sufficient French to damn everything American ia polite terms, and vntp nnlitifa anil rAHirinn. humhnira ! But, for all that, there is long winter r o 1 D before us, and gaunt faces begin to meet one in the streets, even now. Lack-lustre eyes are ever and anon peering into one's face, and bony hands extended for holp at every corner, and tnggiug at doorbells all day long. But it is not "honest pov erty." It smells of lager bier and whis- eJi d savors of St. Mary's and Small . WelS. Philanthropy is bard at work. Dear, good women, are making coats and gar ments, and tbe men are contributing to buy flour and coal,and forming themselves into ward committees to visit and distri bute charities, and the poor are being pet ted and spoiled, and fitted np for regular pauper habits. Tbe money spent, in one winter, in this way,wou!d build and endow a workhouse large enough to employ every vagrant in our streets in such a way as to provide themselves with every comfort ; at tbe same time drawing them from temp- tation, and offering an opportunity for Christianity to sow tbe seeds of virtue and happiness hereafter. The times seem to operate badly with those who get op pnblio sports aud enter - tainmcnts for the winter season. The Opera has had to seek warmer clime. The Theatre is not drawing, at 25 cents admission.

Four Thanksgivings before Breakfast ! Mary went to spend Thanksgiving Day with her grandparents, one hundred miles from Boston. She lived in the city, among high brick walls, and was very glad to go out into the country and see so much sky. Her father, mother and the baby went also. How delighted the grandparents were, and all the little cousins who lived at the old homestead t But Mary was very tired,and wont to bed soon after sapper, with the promise of being waked np early the next morning. She did wake early, with the first peep of tbe sun ; her mother dressed her, and she ran down stairs to find good grandmamma. Where was she J "In tbe kitchen." What a big, light, airy kitch en it was ! There she was, standing before a table spread out with pies, which Mary soon saw she was stowing away in two baskets. Cousin Georgo was by, with bis cap and mittens on. "I'm going to carry Thauks giving," said George, taking np the big gest basket "Carry it all offf" asked Mary, in a little sorry tone. "Oh no," said George; "can't Mary go, too?" "Can't I, grandmother?" asked Mary. "Yes, birdie," answered she, "if mother's willing." Mary ran up stairs, and soon came back with her red hood and cloak on, looking for all tbe world, George said, like little Red Riding Hood. "Let me carry one," said tbe little girl ; "I should love to carry thanksgiving." Grandmoth er gave her the little basket, and opened tbe door to let the children oat "Jack Frost is on the posts," said grandmother ; "be cartful" "Ho wont hurt ns, will he?" asked Mary; "where are yn ging. George ' Ycu'll f ?." - he said ; and soon, turning down a lane, he stopped at an old black door, that looked as if it once might bave been a shop door, and knocked. Ao old man hobbled to open it; they could bear the tramp of bis crutches inside. "Ilere, un cle Sammy," said George, setting down his basket and taking oat a nice little chicken pie, "grandmother has sent yon ! some Thanksgiving." "Tbe Lord bave ! marsy on you !" cried uncle Sammy. "An who s this pretty girl with yon?" " My cousin, from Boston," answered George. "The Lord bave marsy on her" taking tbe pie with si look of devout thankfulness. "He's very marsyful, the Lord is." Then the children trudged on t little farther, George telling Mary all be could about poor uncle Sammy, when they stop ped before a cottage door. "Let me knock," said Mary, and she knocked. An old man, bent almost double, soon ap peared. "Here's a bouncing mince pie for you, Mr. Jones, and Mrs. Jones," said George, boisting it out of bis basket. "Ho, ho !" cried tbe old man, "some Thanksgiving, right from the Lord's oven. Ho, ho ! and what little chip is that you've ' got with you, George ?" "I'se Mary Lovcjoy," said the little girl. "Yes, yes, j but a chip from the old block, I see. j Your folks are always thinking of poor j folks. The good book says, 'He that bonoretb bis Maker bath mercy on the j poor.' He tbat hath mercy on the poor, ' honorcth bis Maker, I'm thinking, for it's a poor rule wont work both ways." But George and Mary were off 'round ' the next corner, and down by the town pump. "This is poor Polly Brown's," said tbe boy, stepping np to a door and i going in. He tapped at a door at the i furthest end of a dark entry. "Come in," , said a voice. Tbey went in, and there sat a poor woman in an old fashioned ea- ay-chair, the gray hair smoothed over ber , wrinkled forehead, and tbe joints of her , cents a pound.

The children, lightened of their burd ens, now scampered homo, for I am sore they mast have found a good appetite for their breakfast. Breakfast was smoking hot "Ob, mother," cried Mary, her blue eyes sparkling with health and joy, "we have bad four Thanksgivings a'ready." Four thanksgivings, before breakfast! That is better than most people have. Indeed, I'm afraid there are some who do not bavo one, even in tbeir hearts. What a stock of enjoyment was this to begin tho day with 1 and it was a kind nobody could cheat them out ol Child's Paper. Important Invention for the Preser vation of Beat, tie. The cost of transporting beef cattle from tbe great pastures of the West, say $11 per head on an average, is equivalent to two cents a pound for the meat, beside the loss of shrinkage from a week or ten days of semi-starvation. The saving of one eent a pound upon the meat of tbe live animals received in tbe city in 1856, only so far as thoy en tered into our market reports, would have amounted to 12,078,800. The project of transporting fresh meat from Ohio in refrigerator railroad cars, is not quite as preposterous as it was a few years ago to think of sending messages across tbe couniry npon little threads of iron.

Refrigerators noon this clan have been made for family nse, and some of the largest of our hotels consider them indispensable. Tbey are also in nse in several private bouses, and we can, after a thoronch test, recommend them as the neatest perfection of any device we have ever seen for tbe purpose of preserving all kinds of food. We bave eaten lamb, re ceived two weeks after it was killed, in Ohio, and then cooked and kept in one of these refrigerators a week in midsummer. We bave kept ripe blackberries a week or ten days, and melons, put in before quite ripened, were arrested in the ripening pro cess, and so remained. We see no end to the application of tbe principle, either in a large or small way, to preserve food in a fresh condition. The plan, therefore, of bringing fresh meats from Ohio, Summer or Winter, and carrying back fresh pro- ducts of tbe sea)0r tropical fruits, is not a visionary one.

It is only when tbo cold comes, and turkeys are about sis months old, that they should be fed with better and more pleasant food, in order to increase tbeir sito and plumpness for market Indian corn, ground barley, wheat, also rice and other articles used to fatten common fowls, are considered best for turkeys. Tbeir weight, when well fattened and carried to market, should average twelvo pouuds; tbeir living and dead weight is as eight een to twelve pounds. Cobbctt says, "As to fattening turkeys, tbe best way is never to let them get poor. Barley meal with skimmed milk and giv en to them frceb, will make them fat, iu a short time. Boiled potatoes mixed with Indian meal will furnish a chance of sweet food which they relish much, and of which they should be allowed to eat as much as they can. As with others, the food uf this bird must be kept clean and the utmost care taken not to give them on the morrow the mixture of the preceding day ; because if tbe weather is warm, it will sour, which might displease them." Much has been published of late in our agricultural journals in relation to the al imentary properties of charcoal. It bas been repeatedly asserted that domestic fowls may be fattened on it without any other food, and that too in a shorter time than on .the most nutritive grains. " I bave reoently made an experiment," says a writer for a Philadelphia paper, "and been rather skeptical. Four turkeys were confined in a pen and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and oats. Four others, of the same brood, were also at tbe same time confined in another pen and fed on tbe same articles, but with one pint of very finely pulverised charcoal mixed with their food mixed meal and boiled pota toes.

Jcbbolpobb, Aug. 5. We were fond ly hoping that all the mutinies were at an burnt alive tbeir doctor, with his wife and child, in their own bungalow. At Fatty ghur, the wife and child of Mr. Tucker, being about to fall into tbe hands of an other rebellious set, she called to her hus band to shoot her at once. He did so. : his child also, and then himself. A Mai. Roberston has also shot his wife, and his children, aud himself, nnder similar circumstances. This is a new and melan choly feature iu the tragedies. All this, having occurred within tbe last few days, makes ns the more anxious about being left here unprotected. The officers of the 5-d naturally uphold their own regiment, but as now there are scarcely ten regi ments remaining of the Bengal Army, it is very probable that the 52J will go soon er or later. It is most inscrutable. A regiment appears staunch up to the hoar it mutinies, everything going on as usual up to the very bour of the outbreak. Letter from it British otjkcr. Written Sermons.

Dr. I'avis, who bad been announced to preach, but said to the congregation, that, by an ove rsight of tbo baggage-master, bis car pet bag had bcea carried on, and tbat some one else must therefore preach in bis stead. Tho Herald says : "Imagine Paul standing on Mars Hill at Athens, be fore an assembly of keen, criticising Greeks, and saying, 'Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too su perstitious, and I will arguo the question with yon as soon as my carpet bag comes from BercaV Clean t p tbe Gardens.
