WHAT 1§ RELIGION? 41T SERNO FOR TIIS Gsmmmx's HOME READ- Jetter to the tribes of his own nation which con- tains it, siyles himself a gervant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. In that capacity he acts the part of a teacher, and in the text thatof a Jexicographer, to give a distinct definition to an” important word. Pilate .once dsked the qués- tion, *What is truth 2" but received no answer. No one has seemed to ask James * What is re- ligion?” but he has given an answer unasked, first, to his_ own people, and then o the world: * Ture religion, sud undefiled be- forc God and the Father is this: To visit the fatheriess and widows in their afflictions, and to Jeep himself unspotted from the world.” Man has been styled a relizious animal. The world has always been filled With religion. There never has been any lack of it. It is the quality of it which has been deficient. It isa rsal sentiment that seems to have an out- reaching toward a higher or divine being. FKnowledge seems to be an essential element in shaping this sentiment. Tt is the God that mea believe in that makes their religion. A clear jdea of thetrue God will give the key to the true religion. The Jews were eminently a rcligious people. Their Government and national observances were patterned after their religious idea. As the Guvernment of the United States is molded atter the popuiar conception of civil liberty, s0 was the original Guvernment ol the Israclitcs shaped from their ideas of God as thiey were divinelytaught; and under whatever form of Govermment they lived their customs and ceremonies were desizned to keep alive that sentiment. Jamnes was theref ore do- ing a very propur thing when he cndeavored to give his people a true definition of pure relig- fon, and what was_true to themis_true to ail - tacworld. Thus the scntiments which a peopie derive from their perception of a God, “or the Divine Being, them, become in out- growth - their religion. It may be a pure cr false religion. The religion of the Jews was molded from_their perceptivns of Jehovah, as He had revealed Hiinsell as the Great Creator aud Governor of all thinzs, who was the pro- mulgator of Taw for the human conscience; snd yet it needed the harmonizing _influence of His paternity, in the revesation of Ilis Son. Though the Bible is a book of religion, yet it is rarcly mentioned there by this term. St. T'aul used the word which has bgen translated relizion, and always applied it to the system of theJews, which he calied the * Jews’ religion,” 35 we this day would speak of the Mahometan religion. James thus scems to apply it to the proiession of belief in Christ, aud s “ifany man among you scem to be relivions, and Uridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth iis ot lieari, this man’s refigion is vain.” It now, by lis interpretation, bas a turther extension; it spplies to human’ conduct. The Jew could be 1egious with his reverence over the sacred nawe of the Deity, however he may have re- [Earded the welfare_of lis feHow-man, or what- ever his conduct. DBut James tells his brethren aud all the world what pure religionis. It then Leeame the Christian religion a5 expounded by aservant of Christ. In making his Statement of the definition of religion, Janies defines it: ¢ Pure religion, and undytiied before God and the Father,” which carries with it the assertion that it is a senti- ment relating to God, and not only to the God the Jewsreverenced as the Jchovah, but he adds the humanitariau_phase of it, *‘and the Father.” So pure religion must have inits beginning the aspiration of the human heart to Gud_rcvealed as the Father of the huinan race. The manifestation of Godin the flesh through Christ made it possible for human beings to comprehend God in that sense. And then follows its relation to the fellow-creature. Not only must._the sentiment spring from thig true God, but it must be pure and undetiled be- {fore God and the Father, and will express itself in love and sympathy and good deeds towzrd the fellow-creature, aid it als oneself, to protect itself from CoS. Such is the religion of Christianity. Iu that respect it diflers from all the religions of _the previous ages, not even excepting what Paul alled the © Jews religion.” In that respect it. differs from the religions that made gods after the conceptions ot the natural human heart, which cmbraced the high and the low orders of idolatry, from reptiles up to the more intellect- ual conceptions of Jupiter and Zeus. These re- + ligious were filled with dread, and superstitions of their gods, but without that love “or rever- ence which @ holy being inspires; and they taught no principles of compassion, sympathy, sod loving kindness toward the human race. lumanity has suffered long and suffered great- Iy from tie miscunceptiva of the truc God. No reation of the hunan fancy ever made 2 God of purity, who could” be named Love, asthe true God has permitted Himself to be stylec: So then James suins up tne matter of e true religion with the knowledge of the dolatry of the heathen world around, and the «0old reverence of the Jews for their terrible Je- ovah, and says: ¢ Pure religion aud undefiled before God and the Futher is to visit the fatl- €less and widows in their aflliction, and to keep Limself unspotted from the world.” JI wewere 10 paraplirase it, and express the definition as themodern politician would prepare it for the newspaper or a plank in his platform, we should £ay: ’Ilrcumyumh‘filcd religivn is to recog- nize, love, and obey, and live reverently before the God and the Father of the human race; 2nd have Jove toward our fellow-mnen express- ing itscif to those who sri most helpless and. Ieedy and objects of compassion, such as the fatherless aud the widows; and at the same ¢ regarding our own moral being and gov- aming our conduct, Kkeeping oursclves unspot- ted from the corrupting and’ cuntaminating in- fluences of the world.” It is a structure stand- g firmly upon three pillars, the removal of dthier one Jeaves the temple in a tottering con- uon: rs beinz, love to God, love to ¢Xijs 4 Lavori opular World. It js often quoted as if it seul’cé’ the whole matter of retigion, as against the voice of the pulpit and all the organizations by which, t4€ noral sentiment of the world issustained. SVisit the fatherdess and the widows,” ehow fhat “you have sympathy for Your kind in” ‘misfortune, as the _animal vmpathies with jts kind in distress. Herc all Ui virtug and the honor lics! ‘This is pure re- Jigion! Su the popular world quotes it. The U that utters an oath against his Creator, and elicx lis God, says * My religion is having com- Passion o the poo: Sume would proless to brotect the fatherless and care for the widow, ]!:'hdu their own souls overfluw with personal ‘;.‘3‘“"”. Some interpret it to mean, Do as t Las You ean; be a good neighbor; be kind to ‘e alllicted and those in distress; and, as fur 5 DoSsibl, relieve their wants; this is parc and udetiled Telizion, Do this, aud you will be el Sucli§ biliever does not take into ac- fount that" Lie has cast God ofit_of his com= !Mation, and that he has made to lim- o 2 Gudless religion; and. also, it RS 1o acvount of his own moral obli- gation, aud the duties be owes to bimself mflhxs seltishiness will not be ignored, and 50 it foipers Limself, while e professes to love his Gopw-man; and the ead fs, that he loves-not 0d, has no regard for his fellow-man, does not + Jealize whatis for hisown highest good, and isabsorbed in his own misguided scifishness, o d s his own slave to his passions. Therc isa Jinagaivst God; there isa sin against the fel- low-reatures; there s also a sin of the man 2gainst himself, and probably the greatest of al these sins thiat runs rempant away with him- $4I s man's sin against himsell.

We need not oveflook the common d of religion, aithough it is somewhat éfiflnex:gx’x: {ron the definition James has given of whatis the religion of CLrist. Thecommoninterpreta- t'i'ou i8, that it is any system of faith and l‘n‘“"""' _Thus in this sensewe may speak of ¢ .lzl xreugmn or morality of Confucius, or the edp and worship of the Pagans, and the ndian ;ilm of the Great Spirit, whith allows o f,m | quantity of religion. Most nations alyc_ ad some form of religion; it is always o feligiou where there is a belief in a superior power governing the world, accompanied with .;umc forins of Worship or superstition. Thus aul spoke of the Jews religion, and we speak %i the Mohammedans, or tie religion of the gyptizus, the Hindoos, the Tarks, or the an[:uxxcse, as well us the Chiristians. All these Wwe assume to be false religions, mingled pos- sibly with some truth; we know that they are miugled with some impuritics from the cflect they huve had on the moral charact peopiewho Luve believed in them. Tor Ly % ist that it is a rel purity. W claim also that 1t is a religion of clevating tendencies, and under its influcnces men grow to the highesi/state of morulity and civilization that it is possible to atiain in this world; and that under no other ystem will maukiud achieve such a high degree of ex- cellence. And this proves that it is o reiigion, as James explins it, undefiled before” God. And it - work this transtorming power on soviety bLe- cluse it takes iis unselfish qualities frowm tioud, and shiclds the poor and uniortunate with the proteczion of human love and sympathy. It does nui rest upun the heathen dovtrine of the *survival of tie fittest,” ‘The scholars will tell us that the-word relig- ion is maac from Latin terms that mean to re- bind, and was once applicd to a sacred oath to the gods.

DETROIT EPISCOPALIANISM A FEW FACTS FOR THOSE WIO WILLBEST UNDER- STAND THEM. * To the Editor of The Tribune. Detrorr, Mich., July 19.~Twenty-five years ago a Vestry in calling a Rector never so muceh as thonght of ifwvestigating the type or charac- ter of his churchmanship. Now all this is changed, for now, in extending a call to a minister, a§as said by an old Vestryman here, his theological character has to be investigated with lynx-cyed caution, serutiny, and jealousy, lest in obtaining a Rector we may obtain a man W10 is more than oifensive, In the past tweniy- years the theological schools of the Episcopal Church bave Leen ap- parcatly conducted with the purpose of educat- ing the rising priesthoud so that they in their mumistry shali be ofticient agents in reversing the Reformation, and in eonducting the Protest- ant Episcopal Churcl back to the Roman com- munion. 8o far bas this process been carried that it has bLeen found necessary to deny the iscopate to both Dr. Seymour, of the theo- 2gical school of New York, and Dr. De Koven, of another school at Rzeine. And yet this same tueological school at Racine scems to have been recently taken under the special care und pat- ronage of six or seven Bishops of the North- ‘west, and tae same has been leit or placed under the charge of the same rejected Dr. De Koven. 1n Detroit we hn\*nhaud fora long time have had, “ouradvanced churchmanship,” and our se- eret members of the scerct order of the C. B. S., and a constaut exhibition of the forms, meaus, and_tendencics, which are caleulated, and, uo doubt, sceretly intendcd, to educate the people generally up to “‘advanced churchmauship,” and to preparc thei and the Church for a re- turn in toe era to the Roman communion. This is done in many instances very cautlously and slyly, but it does not escape " thc attention of the close ob: . Some of our most respect- en are engaged in this most un- ess, 50 micn 50 that, while their trations arc talented and the ordinary courtesies are extended to them, they have ceased to inspire the respect and confidence that is duc from people to pustors. In the meantime, the shock which “advanced churcinnanship ?? received from the rejection ol Drs. De Koven and Seymour, alarmed the cler- ical mischicf-makers, and a_Doctor of Divinity was imported from Chicago here to educate tue benighted churchinen of Detroityand of Mich- igun, up to the virtues and profound mysterics of De Kovenism and Seymourism. At the same time, as is well known, the * distinguisted pre- late of Michigan ” is in a feeble condition; and wisle he never possessed much coergy and de- cision tocutorce clerical disciplinein lis Diocese, hie has now ceased to haveauny a , and there- 1 eligible stamping-ground for of derical irregularity, to use no term. This distinguished prelate seenas, also, Lo wholly Iack the power, as ke ap- parently lacks the disposition, to clear his body vi suifragans of such of tieir number as are of | notoriously bad character; while, on the other hand, for reasons which none can comprehend, he seems disposed to protect and cherish such, o the great scandal of the clerical body, and of the Church at large. This_cpiscopal imbexility is what in reaiity produced the division of the Diocese of Michigan. ™ The clergy, parishes, and churchmen of tie westera part of the State, de- termined to have a change, at least so faras they were concerned, and they got it in the form of 2 separzte Diocest and a new Bishop. Suchis iu E;\fl. the condition of the Episcopal Church in Detroit and in Michigan. It is a condition thut excites offense and deep disgust among some of the oldest and most prudent of our cominunion, and is a subject and cause of general discontent. TheTesult is that most of our Episcopal churcics are thinly attended, some ol thein have stoud for a long thue un- finished, most of them are in debt, and some of them are actually running down in numbers, strength, and efliciency'tor Church work. ‘The question arises, Is there any remedy for this state of things! None that I can see ex- cept such as may De worked out by and in the order of Providence. ' ‘Still such 2 state of things must work its own reaction if a curein some other torm is not found; and it has oceurred to thinking men thut ofir city presents a wide and rich_ficld for issionary work of the * Refurmed Episcopal ,7 so called. I believe none of that or- tion have a5 yet officially visited our city, ut if they should do so, I do not see why they would not meet with & very favorable re i [hey are certainly sure to come if the present of things stould continue here for uny great leugih of time. We did not ciearly see at the time, but we can now see, what it was that took tue late Lishop Cummins off into a sepa- rate orgmuzation. It was this seeret, constant, aud persisteat effort in almost every nuok and corner of the Chureh to Iead or push our old anization back to Rome, and, in fact, te re- Verse the reformation whizh has been vonfirmed by thegsanction of 300 years. * ~ Against this eflort arid this tendency conserva- tive_churchmen everywhere revolt, at Jeast-in spirit_and sentiment, as did Bishop Cummins and his associates. They will not as a general thing [olluw su lead, nor will they bedriven. ‘This numerous class of cirurchmen do not wish to leave their old and chierished associations, but if *progress ! coniinues to be made in the direction indicated,—if this mummery and mockery before and around the aitars of God is to continue, and if this protection of men in the clerical office who are of notoriously bad character is to be the order of the day, they will hesitate to do so. . nolv.n this connection, and in conclasion, I should not be at ail ‘surprized if Dr. Cx:g:ney, or some other of the “Reformed Chureh,” sliould come here to try and reform us churchmen of Detroit. ‘And if h¢ should, I do not see why he should Dot beable to establish the strongest and most nunerous parish in our city. Such at least would be the natural outgrowth of the state of things which has fora long time e\xs:c_(..hurcl and which must ultimately bring most disastrous cousequences. A DETROIT CHURCUMAN, CAMP-MEETING. THE GATHERING AT DESPLAINES. Various rumors have been floating around concerning the next camp-meeting near Des- plaines, and, to set these rumors atrest, the un- dersigned were appointed 3 committee by the Board of Trustees to prepare 3 statement u_f as they really exist. th;:n I.ch‘-; rczula’l" mceg;ng of the Camp-Meeting Comnittec in 1575, the Board of Trustees were authorized and iustructed to sell the grounds. Au effort was made todo £o, but it failed. Dur- al o i in July of the ing the annual camp-mecting held in July L same year, a lurge number of tent-owners a mee{u; > and almost unanimously agreed to request the Trustees not to sell grounds, and at the anual meeting of the Camp-Meeting Committee held in May, 167, the order for the sale of the grounds v reseindedd, en ¢ un furt er effort to sell has been made A camp-geeting sas Leen nt * o be held on these grounds, comineneir - un the .23d day of August, 167. and cont'mue eigit days. A large canvas teni has been ordered, so ihat that portion of the grounds used for public worship will be well shaded, and kept as dry as circumstances will permit. Ample arrunge- ments have been ordered to be made for an abundant supply of good water, and ceverything is expected to be in complete order for the com- fort and coavenience of those who may attend. The Lord willing, the camp-meeting will £o on. The undessigned would respeet! fully request those newspapers that published thé rumors salluded to "to publish this explanation, as it will disabuse the minds of many who have been led astray by-them.

A correspoudent of the London Christian, writing from Perth under date June 2, gives the following tidings of the work of Maj.

RELIGICUS MISCELLANY. THE CHURCH IN GENERAL. The Bishops of the Colored Methodist Epis- copal Church have appointed Friday, Aug. 4, as a day of fasting and prayer. The Rev. Newman Hall estimates that the churches of Great Britain have lost 30,000 mem- bers within three years by intemperance. The sum of $30,000, one-half of the desired Centennial fund, has been raised by the friends of the Shurtlefl Baptist College, at Alton, Ill. The North aud South Indiana Presbyterian Synods will celebrate, in October next, the com- plction of the fiftieth year of the organization of Presbyterianism in the State. The joint meeting will be held in the City of Indianapolis on the 19th of the month, when a semi-centen- nial discourse will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Joseph F. Tuttle, of Wabash College. Sunday-schools of the American pattern are making headway on the Continent of Europe. Frauce has now more than a thousand of them, eighty-four of thesc being in Paris. The travels ing agent visited 103 pfiwcs in Germany, and found twenty-cight schiools, four of theni con- ducted by clergymen, but nearly all by trades- wmen, workmen, or farmers. In Schlig the Countess Goetz is at the liead of a schoul with tiventy-two teachers and 260 scholars. A convention of fifteen Prelates and several hundred priests of the Roman Catholic Church hus been held at Baltimore. With other busi- ness which they transactedin secret sessions, they laid within the grounds of St. Mary’s Col- Iege, to meet the wants of an increasing num- ber of their “seminaries,”” the corner-stone of au edifice to be called St. Sulpice.

The mouument_erccted by the Methodist women of New England to the famous old Methodist preachcr, the Rev. Jesse Lee, was dedicated at Mount Olivet Cemetery, Bultimore, July 1i. The monument stands in what is called “The Preachers’ Lot,” a plot where a number of distinguisheil Mothodist preachers lie buried. Itis of Scotch granite, and bears upon one side the inscription, *“ New England Mecthodists erect this tribute to the memory of the Rev. desse Lec, on the eighty-sixth anni- versary of his first scrmon in _Boston, preacted under the old elm, on the Common, July 11, 17607 Dr. Dollinger does not seem inclined to hold another Old Catholic Conference at present, and his reluctance arisesapparently from two causcs —the one, the backwardness of the Anglican Church to join in the proposed union with the Oriental churches; the other, the disposition of the Orientals, especially under the fntluences of some recent converts from Romanism, to insist upon the old lines of division in rerard to the wording of the Nicene creed and the continu- ance of the celibacy of the clergy. The proceedings of the “ General Council of the Christian Union of the United States,” which was held in Hancock County, 0, early in June, have just appeared.

THE CIIRISTADELPHIANS. The Christadelphians are a society of forty’ members of both sexes, who mect every Sun- duy in Jersey City and in West Hoboken. - They have uo pastors. ” They take the Bible for their standard, and believe that Christ will return again bodily to carth and rule; also that all the fragments of bones, dust and grases, into which all'the deccased human bodies that ever existed have been resolved, will meet again, and pre- sent preciscly the same forms they previously wore. This they are to do upon tiie coming of Christ, who will judge the resurrected in regard to #icir conduct in the former life. Those in- dividuals whom e considers evil will live the alotted age of man on earth, then dic and beeome spiritually enincc. The good will be glorificd® in aspect under Christ’s manipulations, hecome immortal, an dreside with Him forcver upon the carth, which is never to exchange its existing form, but is to remain perpetuaily the abode of the blessed. The Christadelphians further be- lieve that the orthodox Heaven hasno existence, and that the epirits of those who die will float ofl into space without identity, until cailed upon to again enter their former tenements upon Chrlst's coming. Al this they assert that they find authority for in the Bible.. In the Jor- sey City congrezation yesterday were ten mem- hrs, cight visitors, uud four children. ‘The ser- vice consisted of prayer, Bible-reading, singing, and preaching, and upon the admimstration of the communion 2 decanter of wine, 2 _goblet, and a slice of bread folded in a napkin, were moved {from a side table to the reading-desk. of the members opened the napkin and broke the bread in small pieces.

Dr. Iare, Missionary Bishop of Nio- brara, writes from Heidelberg that he is entirely well and only needs strength to resume his work. “0n one oceasion,” says Dr. Charles Hodge, “I went into the room of my old classmate, Bishop Johns, of Virginia, and, picking up one of his vestments, threw it over my shoulders, and asked, ¢John, IS there any grace in_thess clothes!?= ¢Not now, Charley,” retortdd the Bishop.” The Unfon Square Baptist Church of San Francisco recently telegraphed a unanimous call to the Rey. Charles Howard Malcolm, D. D., of Rhode Island, offering him strong induce- ments to take the pastorate. The church is open Communionist in sentiment, and was or- granized ten years ago by the Rev. Dr. Henry A. Sawtelle. It is stated that the first Protestant minister and the first Catholic priest in Australia were English convicts. The Rev. W. Fulton was iransported in 1793 for taking part in the re- bellion at Waterford. After suifering for some years at Norfolk Island he was permitted to go to Sidney in 1806; was, after a year, appointed as acting Protestant Chaplain, but atter a short time returned to Europe. The Rev. W. Harold, a Catholic priest, was transported at the same time. He applied to the Government for per- mission to officiate as Catholic Chaplain, hut was not permitted. He was subsequently sl- lowed to return home. Father Peter O'Neill, of Youghai, wus a transported rebel, but got an carly pardon and was sent home in 1802. The first pricst who was permitted to officiate was Father Dixon. He was also a convict, but gained the favor of the authorities, and when hic returned to Ircland in 1803, then, in the language of the Irish rebel chicf, Col. Holt, “They were left withont a priest or minister, or any kind of preacher, except a barn ranter that neither Roinun Catholics nor Protestants would go to listen to.” BREVITIES. “"’hnt the Pope won't say: Pax vobismarck:~— Graphic.

THE RELIGIOUS PACK OF CARDS. From the Exeter News-Lelter, July 7, 1776, A private soldier by the name ot Richard was taken beforc the a\ln%’listmtu of Glasgow for )lllc.ying cards in church during divine service. 'he Sergeant commanded the soldiers at the church to whom the parson had read the pray- ers to take the text; those who had a Bible touk it out, but the soldier had ncither Bible nor common prayer-book, but, pulling out a pack of cards, he spread them out before himj he first looked at one, and then the other. The Seraeant of the company saw him, and said: “Richard, put up the cards; this is no place for them.” ¢ Never mind that,” said Richard. When the service was over the constable took %icha\n.l a prisoner, and brought him before the Muyor. “Well,” says the Mayor, ‘“what have you brought him here for?” ¥or playing cards in charch.” 2 “Well, soldier, what have you got to say for yourself " Much, sir, T hope.” #Very good; if not I will punish you more than ever; so proceed.” “I have heen,” said the soldier, “six weeks on the marfh. I have neither Bible nor prayer- hook. I have nothing but'a pack of common cards, and I hope to satisfy your worship of the purity of mv intentions.” ~ ‘Then spreading the cards before the Mayor he began with the ace: £ When I see the acc it reninds me that there is but.one Gou; when [ sce the deuce it reminds me of the Father and Son; when I see the tray it reminds of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; when I sce the four it reminds me of the four evangelists that preached,—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; when I sec the five it reminds me of the five wise Virgins that trimmed the lamps; there were five wise but five were foolish and were shut out; when Isee the six itreminds me that in six days God made the heavens and carth; when I sec the seven it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from the great work, and bLallowed it; when T sec the eight it reminds me of the eight right- cous personsethat were saved when God de- stroyed the world, viz.: Noah and his wife, and three sons aud their wives; when I see thenine it reminds me of the nine lepers that were cleansed by one Simeon;dhere were nine ont of the ten that never returned thanks; when I see the ten it reminds.mo of the Ten Command- . 3 ments that God handed down to Moses on tahles of stone: when I see theking it reminds me af the Great King of Heaven, woich is God I sce the queen it re- 34 .

Solomon sent for water for them to t The girls washed to their elbows and the hu)'s to their wrists; thic King told by that.” * Well,”” said the Mayor, “* You've told me all the cards in the pack but one.” & What is that?”? * The knave," sald the Mayor. I will give you a description of that if you will not get angry.” : +* I will not, if "you do not call me 2 knave,” said the Mayor. * The greatest knave that I know is the con- stable that brought me here.”” T dou’t know,” said the Mayor, *if heis not the greatest knave he is the greatest fool.” “When I count the numbcr of spots in a pack of cards, I find three hundred and st many 23 there are days in the year; w count the number of cards in a pack I find there are fifty-two, the number of weeks in a year; 1 fiud four suits, the number of weeks in a month; I find twelve picture cards, the number of montbs in a year: and on counting the num- ber of tricke I fiad thirteen, the number of weeks in a guarter.

NEW Yorg, July 20.—~Todsy I will speak only of versons. Let us innocently gossip abont the notables. Lord Mandeville and his new Cuban-Yankee wife have gone to England again. The history of the romance to date {s sometbing like this: Young Mundeville, while roving on the Contl- nent fome. years ‘since, fell violently in love withan Italian girl, in station quite beneath him. Speed.ly was the amoroso called buck to the fast-ancnored fsle -by the alarmed Duke of Manchester, his father, leaving the Donna fn- consolable. The imprudent boy was sent to America, and warned to avoid all foolishness if hé would escape shipwreck. Here he met THE CHARMING CONSUELO YZNAGA, and, undisciplined by his former experlence, speedily avowed his love. Yzuuga del Valle, her father, was reported to be very wealthy, hence the lover scorned his father’s threats, and the marraige bells rang merrily. Both the par- ties were young and handsome; and one was highly titled, and one was very rich. Suddeuly old Yznaga, reputed as rich.as Firkin, wus am- bushed by hard times, and so embarrassed that ne was almost without availabie means. The panic aud anguish were increased by the an- nouncement that the young bridegroom was cut off from his allowance by an euraged father. His parents were both young, having been mar- ried since 1850, and their life-tenure was strong. The rebellious boy, deprived of all the income of his estates till the death of his father should make him master of the fortuncs of the family and give him the Ducal crown, saw nothing be- fore him but twenty or thirty years oY penury. Brought up like other rich men’s sons, he per- haps wus Incapable of earning a living for himself in our republican rough-and- tumble, or lacked the pluck to try it; for it is reported that, in his extremity, he sought and found relicf in his new young friend,—whom he beat at ‘¢ Polo,’—James Gurdon Bennett. It1s understood that “Jim” agrees to lend him $10,000 & year, taking his post-obits for 1ts re< turn,—the dictionary defining a post-obit to be 3 bond in which the obligor, in consideration of haring received acertnin sumof morey, binds himself to pay a larger sum, on unusual interest, on the death of some specified Individ- ual frow whom he has expectations.” It is an act of kindly fricndliness on Bennett's part, and itis not probanlc that e will exact or accupt “ ypusual interest.”’ Meantime, Lord and Lady Mandeville sailed for Europe last Wednesday on the stesmer with Dom Pedro, to see the ‘hard-hearted father and implore him to relent and “make up.” Selah! By the way, you see that MiSS BENNETT is to enter a convent, and has already taken the preliminary steps. She is a bright; swect, shy, pretty girl, but if the world knew of the shad- ows that are over her lifeit would no longcr regard this sad step as incomprehensible. She carricd the burden of a romantic_history that cannot be elearly umiined. It will not be for- gotten, however, tha! Mrs. Bennett was eccen- tric, and that the great editor stood by her through much unfriendly gossip, and finally, when he died, left all his property to his_eldest son, with the sole injunction to ““take good care of?" liis mother and sisters, Speaking of editors, on dit that Manton Mar- ble is to be shortly married to Mrs. Lombard, a handsome and wealthy widow of the metropolis. For ten years now he has cherished in_solitude the memory of his first wife, an Intelligent and intercstinfi lady of Rochester. 1t s understood that Mr. Marble saved very little from the wreck of the T¥orid. 1t is revealed that MR. AUGUST BELMONT is still the strongest backer of the World. He and Hurlbert meet every morning at the Man- hattan Club, and discuss the policy of the paper over their breakfast. Belmont has been seriously bat not danger- ously bitten by the hard timés. He feels roor because he finds that he is worth only a million or two, instead of the eight millions with which Le has been credited. He still holds on to his costly stud of horses, perhaps hesitating to sell the(rln on account of the possible effect on his credit. Surrogate Hutchings tells me that the shrink- age in_estates has been awful. People are generally not worth more than half as much as they are reputed to be. It would be astound- ing, he says, to go over the 1ist of the recent preach in the evening. —The Rev. W. R. Lord will in the Fifth Church, corner of Indiana avenue. s —The Rev. Samuel W.

BOOTH and her alter ego, Mrs. Wright, who have con- ferred such a service on the literary people of New York by their simple and admirable Sat- urday_evening receptions for some winters. Miss Booth is confined to her desk a5 editor of IHarper's Bazar almost constantly, but she has found time to create 2 social exchange where the brightest people of the city who earn their living with their pens can meet and chat and et acquainted. Tho thousands who met at §In. 89 Madison avenue last winter will regret to learn that the recent death of Miss Booth’s hon- ored father is likely to modify the receptions next winter, jf not prevent them altogether. Let us hope that Mrs. Jenny June Croly orsome other recognized lady journalist.will resume the good work which so much needs doing. _THE ESCAPADE OF MISS EMMA ABBOTT, the new American prima donna, is making even more excitement than her London triumphant debut did. Dr. Chapin’s rlchEpaxishiouers, who united nmiéugponc(l her in Europe while she whs obtaining her musical education, are fnex- pressibly shocked and grieved to ascertain that the maiden who was represented as a prodigy of self-denial and truthfulness, has been mar- ried, for nobody knows how long, to a New Yorker named Wetherel. Wetherel has for a long time huog upon the verge of journalism, and is & * smart ”’ man with afl that the word implies. The announcement is all the more painful because it jostles down a very high cas- tic of personal heroism in which the girl had lived for vears, as she herself was always ready to confess. Hers was a sort of Casper Hauser tale of poverty and struggle; roving hungry and barefoot, with the guitar for her sole companion, playing here for a dinner, there for a bed, always entrancing by her music, like George S8and’s Consuclo inthe strects of Venice * {aud "nobody suspeeting that she lisd aa Anzo- Ieto), coming to New York with sanguine ex- pectations of an engfiemem; bope followed by despair; mecting at last Frank B. Carpenter, the urtist, who—most sympathetic, tender- hearted, and gallant of mortals—took her-to his house, sheitered her, gave her a gencrous brother’s care, and introduced her to those from whose patronage she stepped to fame. All the romance of her youthful struggle may be true; but her secret marriage has caused much bitter- ness among the friends here who formerly be- lieved in her implicitly, * One of the cleverest’ women writers of the metropolis just now is MARY H. FOX. She is peculiarly pungent upda matters in- volving knowledge of human nature,—men and their manners. It was wondered of Amelia B. Edwards, in ber novel *Half a Milion,” how she found ,out so much about men and their ways, theit haunts and their club-life. Many asserted that the feminine glove covered a man's band. But some women bave intuition about men and their ways,—almost an insrlmd knowledge. M. H. F., however, fs able to write understandingly of men from experi- ence.

Then she drifted frec upon the Bohemian tides of the metropolis, and with pen and pretty face and pretty talk did pecani- | arily well. But one day, alas? SHE MET A GAY GAMBOLIER, well-known here, named Zeno Burpham. Burn- ham was very much married, but for 2 while the barum-scarum fellow put off the old wife and putonthenew.

Zeno liked her in a rude war, and annoyed ber at every opportunity. About a year ago he began to be jealous of the at- tentions of a professional gentlemsn of the city. Other husbauds and wives were in the way of the m: ge of the lovers.

Reaching the street, he called a po- liceman, who, sceing his “Lloody shirt,” at once went for the confederate admirer. At the station-house there were complaints and cross- complaints. Oakey Hall was again Zeno’s counsel, and in the” morning, by some sort of legal hocus-pocus, a clean bill of health was finvcu to both warriors. Since which time all as gone merry as 4 marrie-bell, and Zeno letteth M. . F. alone to turn piquant para- graphs for the metropolitan and rural press.
