You remember that the Mohammedan doctors declare that this angel was always seon by his victim to .strike the blow, untl the Prophet, observing tho ferroi which the ap- pearance of Azreal inspired, induced God, by his prayers, to render the messonger of Death in- wisiole to mortal eyes, THE ACTIVITY OF DEATIL. Within the past fow months, Azrael has been most faithful to his mission. He has come. to the great and renownel not onty tnseen, but withont werning, and apparently without warrant. Every week, Eome eminent man, ab homs or abrosd, has slipped Zrom the precipice of Time into the gult of the_ Unknown. Obituary-editors have beon, and are. till; the busiest of their class. Their services ore in such constant demand, that they have contemplated asking for an advance of salary. #%Who elso ia dead ?” is the inquiry wo make' of eachother when moeting in the stroet, in’ compary, or at dinner. Most of us are o little surprised, on waking in the morning, to find we are still alive; and, indeed, we ususlly have_ some doubt of the fact, until we encounter an acquaintance who solicits 5 losn. Then'wo are sure we ara still in this world; for into the next ' wo have reason to hope and - faith to' believo that the, annoyances of finance do nof enter. The deathof. - BALMON P, CHASE was & surprise and shock to the community large, thongh those who -were acquainted with the condition of his health for the last two yéars. - ormore, were propared. for the event st any time. Some of the newspapers appear to have regurded it as their duty whenever the preca- riousness of the health of {he Chief Justice was ‘mentioned in print, to flatly contradict the re- port, notwithstanding they must have been aware of its entire truth. -3+ Itis eaid that Chase never rccovered from the bitter disappointment cauged by his failure tobe nominated to the Presidency ot the Tammany * Convention of 1868. He .had:been assured by , leading Democrats that he wounld be thé ! candidato, and he believed them implicitly. . Once nominated, he had no doubt whatever of his election. The programme of the Conven- tion is now weil known : thet Horatio Seymonr, aiter his nomination, was to make o epeoch, and then withdraw in favor of Chase; thus giving * the unapimous support of the delegetes to the . ex-Becretary of the Treasury. _Soymour-made his speech, but failed, either by sccident or design, to make the slightest referencato Chase. ! The last words he said were, and those he said . wery empbatieslly: * Your candidate I cannot _be;” and retired with exoessive emotion. I remambar distinctly what blenk amazement sat . upon the face of many of the prominent politi- ! ciapa in the hall, that sultry afternoon. on . they found Ianguage, they wero very indignsnt at " Beymonr, denouncing him as s perfidions trick- sier, whose ambition had- impelled = him to break hin plighted wo It s * siill & question whether there be not some foun- dation in this charge, thongh Beymour's friends iave alwaya neserted that, carriod away by the " excitomont of the momont, he lost his and - ceally forgot 1o bring Chase forward. - Chiase’s ‘admirers contended then, and have contended | ever since, that, if the programme had beon car- ‘yied out, he would have beon nmominated, and *elécted beyond question. Ho himself felt per- g:u, ‘:uaux;;d of it; m% the tm.:l} g‘niscarring:h of ‘his plans, longings, and expectations,” on that ecesbion, ate into his lifa 1ike 8 cancer.’ No may .wes more ambitiouns than Salmon P. Chase; and ven the posjtion of Chief Justice of the United tes was » hollow mockery after he fized his hopes on the Execative pir. His pame- may be mentioned with that of Daniel - Webster, Henry = Clsy,’ <Lewis Cass, Stephen A. Douglas, 2nd a host of. .others who - had been embittered and brokenin spirit - by the defeat of the great aim and end of eir political being. It seoms likw a fate that hase should have ed the Tammany nom-, ‘tnation, and all by a trifling circamstance which «nothing could have prevented and nobody could have forescen. Never was 8o excellent a schema /0- completely frastrated by the merest chance, “After such long and weary waiting, tha object of Chase’s intense desire showed within his grasp. He eagerly stretched ont his band for it, and it ell away liko s pail of vapor; and with it fell hisbumning. hope, his sheorbing ambition, the very spring of bis life. E . ; - VRESSURE OF THE PRESS. - : - Many peraons have wondered that Chief Jus- fica Chase shonld havelain unconicions, stricken &y death indeed, in this city, for twenty-four s, and no one, beyond his immediate family, have knowledge of the fact. Itis not sin- gular in the least. His daughters *wers maturally very anxious to hide his condition from the pubiic, lest an avalanche of reporters shonld fescend upan the sorrowing houschold, and in. ist upon learning every deteil of the ource.of 4heir grief. Nobody can tell who has not had the experience, how ghastly and peinfal it is, in time of afiliction, to bo exposed to curious and prying eyes,—especially to te subject to an inrosd of representatives of the press, as they are happy 1o style themsalyes,—solicitous’ only to get the earliest news. They are not to be blamed, poor fellows! It is their business and their duty, and “they are of ircalculable benefit to the commu- pity; but cstom has made them callous, of necessity, and they sge in-every tragedy, how- ever deep or crushing, Bimply an itom_for the nextissue.’ They diot upon-woe and horrors, apd it is but natural that they who suffer Bham shrink from the searching eye and the recording pencil of ‘the - insensible and - indefatignble - ANOTHER MAGAZISE for Joung peoplo, is fo bo issued hers nost an ¥ Seribner & Cos, the publishers of the ‘populer monthly. ‘They expect to make it the class, and they will doubtless aucceed, as they have the capital, ability, and |- experience.

LT ERIPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN. - To the Editor of The Chicago Triduns: Bre: In an article on “‘Queens of the’ Kitchen,” {n last Sunday's TeIBuxE, after the prefatory assertions that ‘““All the labor to be done by men and women should be equitably. divided between the sexes,” and that *each sox should do the work for which it is most fitted,” work for women is classified generally 2s that “found in.stores, in shops, in school-houses, and in dwelling-houses;” and the question-is asked, ‘““Toward which of these should the mass 0f workingwomen aggregate 2" The writer considers the grave subjecis of ““moral safety, physical exhaustion, and wages . 1in her answer, ‘and writes a column to prove that “housework is the nataral occipation of woman,” and that her highest ambition should be_“gratified” in boing & good cook! Had the ‘writer bean & man, the solution of such & state- ment would be easier; since Wwo have it upon iuod suthority that_the short-cut to o man's 0art is by way of his stomach. “In’ manufacturing and selling éstablish- ents,” it is asserled, ‘‘flocks of young girls are at the mercy of men who mey be apright or ‘Wwho may be scoundrels.” Is the young girl in their employ. moro*tempted by their advances $han by the contrast of her life with that of the elegany easo of the women Twho purchass her work, or the goods she sells ? Does sho not daily seo the homage paid to show and fashion, whotli- et the purchager be Christian lady or acknowl- edged prostitute? Is she not made to feel that ‘silks and costly. jewels mark tho line between fawning obeisance and haughty scorn? 1t may ba said that only narrow sonls make such dis- tinctions; but children of largor growth are at- tracted by baubles now as thon; and silks and jewels have tho shimmaring light of that reflect- ‘ed from the golden calf befors which they fall down and worship. g It ia argued that “ Girls shonld eeek & class of labor in which temptation will not so severel besot thew.

This was specially noticeable during the war of the Robellion ; for,while the Church North sustained with ita bost blood and millions of it treasure the sdministration of Mr, Lincofn almost unanimously, Joff Davis had no braver, stpporters than the Presbyterians of ths South. The same principlo explains Sthy Dr. Wither- spoon‘and the other Preebytorians of ths Ravo- Iution spoke and fought g0 earneatly for ilie’ eaase of Gtod and the Continental Congress. The history of Prasbyterianism is intimately aseociated with the history and ths growth. of the Ropublic. It was brought to this country by the Seotch, the Stbteh-Irish, and the Huguenot immigrants. Thé fivé first churches were or- ganlzed by Frantia Makennio, on the Esstern BShore 0f Marjland, 166483, Tho first Prosby- teriah Chureh of Philadelphis was organized in 1898, ‘and the first records of tho Prosbyiary, of Philadelphis commenced in 1706. The Sypod of Philadelphis’ wes organized twWith four. Presbyteries in 1717, and remained united till 1741, when, on somo dogtrinal or other points_ of difforence, it divided into tho Synods. of New York and Noi Jorsoy on the ono side, and thatof Philadelphia on the othor. In 1758 they were sgain united in fellowship, but remained 18 separatd bodies, whon, in Ilay, 1789, the first | General Assembly, tho highest judicatory of tho Church, was orgamzed, And.herc-we mayas well state that the governmont' of the Presbyterian Church 1§ composed as fol- fows: Each Ghurch hds its Board, or Ses- Gion, a8 it is technically called, of Elde elected by the members, of whom the' pastor is Chairman. They sdministerts epiritual affairs and discipline, and from their decisions the first appeal is to tho Prosbytery. The Trustocs elected by the congregation have charge of: the property, and administer the temporalities of the Church. The Presbytery is composed of the ministers in several adjoining churches, with delogates of ope or more from the Eldership. The Synod is composed of _thd ministers - of - ¢wo or more Presbyteriés, and slso of dalegsies from tho Eldarehip of thoe soveral churches, They listen tp and decide upon nppenls from the Presbytérics, and sttend to matters of general intercst. The Geh- eral Assembly is made up of delegates from tho Presbyteries, both Iay and clerical, and, as above stated, is the tribunal of final resort in all mat- ters of faith and practice. Ite sessions ususlly occupy from ten days to two weeks, and genorally & abler, more learned, or more patriotic bedy of mon cannot be found _snywhore “than ‘the Gon- eral Assombly of the Presbyterian Church of the United Statos. 2 For nearly balf & century subsequent fo 1789 tho Presbyterian Charch prospercd, when, in 1830 to 1838, angry discussions aroge, malnly on somo doctrinal points, but intensified under th restlessness whick began to be felt amang Chris-' tian men 28 to the responsibilities nd the crimes of American elavery, till, in 1335; the Assembly divided into what, for a better name to designafo them, were callod the Old and the New School.

Another secession’ s mado from the’ New School branch at the meeting of the Assembly in Cloveland in 1857, & mafority of the Southern churches in that.connection going| off-on account of the deliverances of the body on the subject of slavers. The rebellion in 1861 divided the O1d Bchool body as well, and it, | the Northern Church, united, with fow excop- tions, in a vigorous support of the Government, and its members did most efficient service in putting down the rebellion. e . Early in the war, thoughtful men saw that the abolition of lavery left nothing in the way of s | Tounion between the Old and the New Schocl churches, - Tse TRmuxE was tho first paper in the United States to suggest and to urga the pro- ‘priety of that measure. It camo slowly, .but surely. In 1869 the preliminaries wera all ar- ranged, and in 1870 the two Assemblies wnited into one body in the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. As an evidence of the joy and thankfalness of the Church over this most: au- £picious event, the Church raised, -in 1871, 8s & memorial fund, the munificent sym of §7,607,- 500 for the permanent institutions and usss’of the Churoh.
