I make others merry, but. while they are laughing at the sallies of wit, my own heart is as unmoved as a -i no. Amid the laughter of delighted multitudes I remain the most sad and mis- : erable of beings myself." How true to the experience of all world- j ; iings is this picture of the comedian's | heart! Hewasa hypocrite in his pleas-j intries: So are all gay sinners. Their ! eyes flash, their lips smile, their tongues utter sparkling jests, but their hearts si-, i lently sigh over a conscious vacuity which | they vainly implore the world to fill.— | j Their consciences sting them • for dogra ! ding spiritual capacities, capable of grasp- 1 i ing the Infinite, to the De.id Sea of sen- j 1 suality, and for casting away eternal life at the bidding of bodily appetites and pas- • •ions. I'ut in vain does the soul sigh and i •on«( ience sting. The sinner will have 1 his delights. He hides his misery. He dances, sings, jests; his merry laugh rings , through the air. and his companions in in, wondering, think him happy. They j I will not believe his laugh, like theirs, is I sepulchral, and therefore they envy him his felicity. He too, in his turn, is de ceived by the merriment of his compan ions, and envies them.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 80.— The six officers who escaped tremthe penitentiary at Col uinhas. with Morgan. were Oapts. Bennett, Taylor, Sheldon, ilines, Hackeremith,and M agee. John H. Morgan. on retiring, changed with his brother Dick from the top cell to the lower tier. The floor of the lower coll id two and a half inches thick. in which u hole was cut. running to the main wall around the penitentiary. This wall was cut under, and the party escaped into the open country. The night was dark and a a heavy rain was falling Not the slightest clue lias been discovered of their where abouts. or the route they have taken. The Governor has telegraphed all the military committees of the State to arouse their several tfie I'rov • t Marshal (iencrili of the State, ha# notified every provost marshal within his jurisdiction to scour tlioir several dis trict thoroughly. The most plausible theory mentioned is ; that they escaped in time to take the Cin cinnati train via Dayton, which started from Columbus at -A. M. on Friday night, j j That their escape was connived at bysym l pnthizers there little doubt. The manner of their escape was ingen j ious, but after all simple enough, based upon the almost certain theory that they J were correctly informed as to the ground they had to work through. They, by patient labor for nearly four j weeks, by means of small pocket knives, dug through the floors of their cells, com posed of about one foot of stone and brick, down into a four-feet PTrwer. Two weeks ago one of the escaped pris oners a-ked the guard for a few boards to cover the bottom of their cells, giving :wt excuse that the damp stone was injuring their health. Their unsuspicious guard granted the request. The boards were n-ed to cover up tlio holes they were cut ting. ?. < >» the night of their escape, oil retiring* ; to their several cells, Dick Morgan man- | , aged to change with hi# brother John from [ iho lower to the upper tier. After getting into the sower tlujy craxl* ! ed to the heavy gracing ftndtuasonry at its | mi nth, ami f:;u"nd ll\py could not escape by th.it route. They, however, made a j li 'e upward to a heavy pile of coal, which [ rolled in on them to such an extent that i they were forced togo further back into ; the yard; they then e>: ivated the soft! enVtli clear under the main wall, and so | correctly was the distance calculated, that ! they came out in the open read way one 1 foot from the foundation. ()::e of the party (('apt. Dines) was by ! tra le a brh kuiason, and seems to have had 1 the management of the wli le affair.

LINCOLN* —It | is souie amends for the ridicule which has j lieen so unsparingly heaped by certain for i eign presses upon Mr* Lincoln, that the I lOndon Spectator, one of the most respect able journal# iu Europe, find# occasion for the following words about him: " Mr Lincoln, has been tested a# "few governor# have ever been tested, and though i he may hot always have risen fully to the . level of a great emergency, he ha# seldom I failed to display a noble impartiality, a ! great firmncsi of purpose, and a sagacious. | if somewhat utilitarifn. judgment. * .* I We believe a j nster man never held the ! i reigns of government. ! Churches suiil the Itrbcllion. Nhe refusal of two rectors of parishes in Westchester county, N. X. —those of ltye amd St. Luke's .Soiners—to read thepray -1 era especially appointed by the bishop of | the diocese with "reference to the war and : our soldiers having driven many loyal members from those respective parishes, ha# been the occasion of a very spirited correspondence between Mr. John Jay'ar.d the Rye rector and the vestry of St. Lukes.-and in each casWlic rector has tendered hi# resignation. Since the very spicy letters of Mr. Jay have called a 1 general public attention to the loyalty of 'those who stealthe livery of Heaven" not "to serve" their country in, wc hear of con gregations ofother churches than the Epis copal making charges and calling for coifi mittees t J iuvc-tiga*e n# to the loyalty of their respective pastors. Aiuougtie latest is that of the Presbytariau Church at 1 White Plains, which "lias been properly j broken up by the reported Want of loyalty on the"part of its talented pastor, whose ' ease ha# just been laid before thisPres ; liytery. I The following forcible sentence from Mr. Jay's letter to the Somers vestry will doubtless apply to the officers of other churches than that to which it was especi ally and so appropriately addressed : "The boldness of your attempt, under the character of wardens and vestrymen, to belie the loyalty of our church and re press the patriotism of your parish, mid under the guise of religiou to encourage sympathy with the rebellion and indiffer ence to the fate of the nation's defend-;:.-, will give to St. Luke's an unenviable > lace in the history of ourtimes. and le-' vo upon the fame of our old county of Westchester a darker stain than that of-*the cow boys" of the revolution. " It lies been thought that tlio infamy on the part of the northern men could well exceed that which crowns the faction that has striven to rob our soldiers of their votes, but damnation of a deeper hue will I be the heritage of those who, with groans from battle-field and hospital and the Lih j by Prison ringing in our earrs attempt to oxelude them from our prayers. I "-This rebellion is to die, and the repub lic is to live. No treason of shareholders however damnable; no war against the I ( 'nion, however formidable; no crouching I by rebel sympathizers at the feet of'Napo ] loon; no appeals for intervention from j bastard democrats to a lSritish minister; no fiendish riots at New York; no torture ! of our prisoners at Richmond; no apathy, or treachery of northern ingrates. either in l j church or state" will prevent our emerging ! from this great struggle one nation, chast ened, purified and strengthened; it#undi vided territory the home of freedom. In ! tlio recent ejection the people have spoken; | !h" .;are ready to meet the issue lindtoen | dure unto the end. And when the day of victory shall dawn the hour will come also ; for a reckoning with those recreant Ameri ! cans who. for thvir country in its cxtreni | ity. would neither fight nor pray." How NATIRK COVFRS IJ' BATTLK | I'im.us.—Did 1 tell you ever, among the | affecting litt!" things one is always seeing in the.-e f-toing war times, howl saw on the Bull Kin battle field,., pretty, pure, delicate flower# growing out of emptied ammunition boxes, a rose thrusting up it# graceful head through the head of a Pnion drum, which doubtless sounded its hist I charge (or retreat as the case may have been), in that battle, and a cunningscarlct vci bona peeping out of a fragment of burst* ed shell iu which strange cup it had been planted. Wasn't that peace growing out, of war? Even so shall life graceful and beautiful ever grow out ofthe horrible and terrible things that transpire in this chang ing and ever advancing world. Nature covers even the battle grounds with ver j dure and bloom.
