If we may credit the Italisn newspapers, the duoes of David Lazzaretti are still looking for bis resurrection, although it must by this time be with that bope deferred which maketh the heart sick. In the annais of relizious and social dclosions, that ove which culminated just a month since o the death of the prophet.of Monte Amiata must hoid a prominent place. Of humble birth. a wagoner before his exalta- ton, Lazzarctt! was ambitious from youth to begome & leader of men. His early eccentrici- tics took the form of visions and ecstasies, which gained him local celebrity. In onc of thesc he was commanded t0 quit his femily and withdraw futo the desert, which be, with much * good ense, in‘erpreted to mean Montelabro, a « few miles distant irom Arcidosso. There he " was said to have passed a period of fasting and vepitecce, at the end of which he reappeared and bezan to preach, apd to recount the won- deriul things, be had seen in divine inter- views. Av first some of th® local priest. hooa were imposed upun, apparently, no Jess than the peasaniry, and encouraged Lis work. Bat very soun he drove these aliies to becowe bitter enewics by preaching the crush- inz of all priests, and a large part of the lakty. He proposed to put himself at the bead of a church militant of his own for this work of ex- termination, aud to destroy every Government on the face of the carth w exactly twelve years, reducing them to one Empire, with thirteen &ub-monarchies,—himse!f at the head. Like all impostors of his stamp. be soon in- troauced an element of Communism into his orgauzation. Heimpressed on his followers 1he neea of pooling, not only thew political issues, but thierr movev, lands, and even taeir daly labor. 1uto a comwon fund, of wbich he Wwes 1o be, as chiet apostle, the director and distributor. Strauge as it may scem, his duzes bailed the scheme with delight, turned over to Lis ownersaio, as propliet avd lawgiver, thur Tittie landed estates and personal goods, and, st one time, he received and sold or £ave away daily products or labor of about sixty fam David mace a common storchouse of thest products at Montelaoro, and doled tbem out to his partisuos as seemed good to bim, reserving {_nr the church and tor bimeelf 3 generous por- ion. The absurditvof the imposture scemed to be its clement of success—it required absolute {aith 10 David Lazzarett), and this was not want- inz. His tollowers grew irom scoresio buo- dreds, and peroaps thousands; it certainly was Dot uncommon for him to preach to 3,000. And with the growth ot the -Davidists in numbers grew their preparations for A perinancnt estab- Ishment. Toey suon not ouly worsiped David, but counscerated the hill where bis pretended cowmunivgs and colioyuies with tue Creator took place—collogquiesot which the wording had beuter be imsgued thao recorded. On that spot they unaertook to build a temple by indi- vidual labor of the populace in a mass, and to that eng, cvery Suuday, mes, women, and chil- v dren tugged up the acchvity, laden with huge stones, proportioned to their strength and their smbitious zeal, sining retizious songs as they went, to lighten their fabor. Wit the church was built a huge tower, called the Tower of David, visible to all tne plam around for miles. By tbis time the local authorities began to Jook after Davia, fuasmuch as bitter complaints came from some famihes that their duped rela- tves were giviug all thelr £oods and pusses- sions to nim, waile tbe reiations of labor be- tween the local land-owners and the peasantry were seriously interfered with. The result was tbat the New Messiah, tor 60 be calied bimself, was iznominiously arrested and*thrust mto jall by the Prefect of Grosseto. It is proof of 1he importange he bad acawred at tins juncture that a lawyer of some pusiion in Florence 1n. sisted op sharing his cell with bim; for David bed money cmough to pay his friend well. Toanks to “the legal skill at his command, Laz- mrtti was released in triumph on Lue very simple eround that sone of uis dupes had com- pizined. and the law could not coustrue an 1n- jurs where the alleerd sufferers declared they were gatisfied. Huwever, in police court [asii- don, he was ordered out of the Province of Grosseto. v o.curred 1o David to improve this occasion by travel and by sceking torewrn alliances with other great thinkers aud leaders of the people. He first made overtures in Switzerland, 25 was discovered tae utber day, to the Communist Maior, who, however, jrave him the cold suoul- der, and even refused bim 2 fetter of recom- meudation to Rochefort. He made 2 tour of Parts of Italy and France, and was arrested and Iriven out ol two lowns, at least, as a tramp. aint David then returned to the faithiul at Mootelabro, and began hiscarcer anew.

Inswich 15 sowe four miles from Akenham, and s there {s neither a. cemeiery nor chapel grave- Fard nearer, application was made to the in- cumbeut, the Rev. G. Drury, the Rector of the adjomiug panst of Clavdon, to have it baried in the consecrated eround of the parish church. Afr. Drury. on Jezrning that the ‘child had not becn baptized, positively refused its burial in Lhe consecrated ground, but gave permission for it to be baried behind the charch in unconse- crated grouod reserved for stillborn infants, cn rondition thst noretizions service was performed Withn the graverard. He refused to bury it bimself, and fnsisted that no one .hould offici- Ate In the church in his stead. On Thursday AMr. Gooding bad au interview with the Rev. Wick- ham Tozer, of Ipswich, who cousented to bury the childat half-past 5 on Friday afternoon. Somie tenor fifteen minates before that hour Mr. Tozer arriveq at the church, lu company with Mr. Gooding sod Mr. Smith,who is Church- ‘Warden. The Rer. Mr. Drury, the incumbent, was paciag the graveyard. The grave was dug and the sexton was there todischarge his duties. The funeral was rather bebind its time, and the reverend genilemen paced un and dowa their respeciive paths,—the one inside and the other outeide the chareh boundaries. At length the procession arrived, and with it u fow svmpa- thizing neighbuors, and sltozether there may have been about thirty persons preseut. Before thecorpse had been hifted trom the cart iu which it had beeu conveyed to the church, the sexton wenl up to the fatherof the child und presented toe clergyman’s complimeats aud his request that the corpse might be immediately conveyed to the arave. and they could hold any service they chose after it was'buried in the meador, outside the yard. No notice whatever was taken of the iucumbent’s reouest cither by the fatheror bis friends. No bier could be pro- cured, and the colliu was placed on the grouad immediatcly iu front of the churchyard este. The friends gathered round it, and Mr. Tozer commenced reading appropriate passages of the Seripture. The incumbent Jeft the chureb door, came out of the gate, and stood about an arm’s lensthto the left of Mr. Tozer, facing the mourners. The following disgraceful altercation then took place: . The Rev. Drurv—The time for this funeral was 5 o’clock;; it is now more than 5:30, aud I request you to couvey the remuws Lo the grave at once. ¥ The minister continued reading, and no one Daid the least atiention to Mr. Drury's request. ‘The Rev. Drury—I have been waiting over halt an nour, aud it is uot reasonable that you should keep me here until you are pleased. to fiussh these proceedings. o one attempling to reply, he continued, * Why cannot sou tak the coliiu to tbe grave and then come bere and hold waat service you plesse Tuc Rev. Tozer still touk no watiee of the obsiruction, but continued gmetly resding por- tious ot Scripture. * “Lhe Rev. Drary —I must azain request you to def€rth.s service uutl after the rewains have veen interred. Mr. Goodinz—Prav sir, do be quiet; the service will not tast many minutes. Tae Kev. Drury—Don’t tell we to be quiet; T bavea duty to perform, and I suatldoit. I must teach my parisbioners that these proceed- ings are wrong. The Rev. Tozer moved slightly toward Afr. Drury and said: “1 respect you as a gentle- man. and would not willimgly oifend your re- hious courictions or your conscientios scru- ples, but dolet me beg of you to be quict for & lew momentss we shall noi be lone.” The Rev. Drury—~Wnat bas that got to do with ¢ The Rev. Tozer—Oh, I supposed you were a gentleman, a Chnsuan, and a. winister of Christ. g ‘The Rev. Drury—I don’t see iwhat religious conv.ctions or scruples have to do with it. Tae Rev. Tozer—\Well, 1 have no wish to hold a discussion with you, but Ianpeal to your man- houd and beg of you not to torture tic feelings of these poor people at a time like this. The Rev. Lru. That is all nousense. Aan- Bood and feeiings have uothing whatever to do with it. Your proceedings are altoretaer wrong, and I must teach iy parishioners that 1 cannot sanction them. ‘Lue siev. Tozer—Well, sir, 1 thought if you were not a Zentleman or a Christian you might possibly be a man. ' L am sorry to have been mistasen. 7 The Rev. Drury—I suppose you call that Christien? ‘I'ie Rev. Tozer—Very, and for that reason I fear you are incapableof appreciating it. You have a very priestly zarb, and 1 suppose you wake that dsan equivalent to being one, but vou are destituze of the spirit of your Master, and you have not even a spark of numanity in you or vou could not be capable ot this couduct. The Rev. Drury—L don’t sce wout bumanity bas to do withh it. That child (pointing to the coflin with lus umbrells) has not been baptized, and it is thereiore not a Coristian, and I object 10 its being buried as such. ‘The Rev. Tozer drew himself up to his full | beiebt and vrougne his rizat Wem dangerousiy oear to Mr. Drury’s head, and, with his eyes flashing fire and bis vuice trembling with cmo- ton, ne said: %1€ it were not for harrowine the feeliugs of thesc poor people, 1 would very soon silence your brutalspeech. Though accked in tue gurb of a priest, and holding the office of 2 wiuister, you are a diserace to humanity.” The Rev. Drurs—Don’t siake your fst in my face. “The Rev. Tozer—I was not shaking my fist in Jour tace, but you justly deserve Lo be made 1o [eel it. ‘The Rev. Drury—And vou call that Christian? ‘ric Rev. Tozer—Percvtiy. The Rev.

Toe fatner of the child—Come, Mr. Drary, 1 shalf have something to say to you il you don’t atlow the gentleman to £o on with the service. The mother, seein her ausband was becom- ing anery, aud fearing the consequence, said: “Never mind the parson, Mr. Tozer; go on with the service.” The Rev. Drury—I have been walting here more than hall au hour, and 1t is unreasonable 1or You (0 expecl-me to remain while you cun- duct this unwarranwable ceremony. Mr. Gouding:- uW me 10 remind you, sir, that you re.used to perform any service seli; aiter that you were not asked to be pres- ent, and no one wishes you to remain, The Rev.

Tue party then retursed to the wate, and the usual burial service was read and the ceremony concluded. CHURCI TAXATION. OUGHT BRLIGIOUS PROPZitTY TO BE TAXED! The Interior. One of the fairest and best discussions we have seba on this subject is in an article in Sunday Afternoon, by the Res. C. [ fuchards, eutitled * The Relimous Rizots of a Christian State.” The article covers the whole ground of the general subject implied in tne titie, but we want to emphasize particulasly whal is so well £aid for and aganst the tasation of church property. 1t is one of the subjeets which are being per- sistently urced upod the attention of churches and wiich shouid therefore be fully and pa- tiently cousidered. We are in danger of jump- oy to come, ingtooue of two conclusions, willmuz_:my vers good reasous for the conclusion . in cither case, viz.: Either that a cliurch is &8 corpora- tion, for the cxemption of whose property there is o mare reason than exists for the exemption of a maoufacturivg company’s property, and. therefore, cburches should be taxed: or. churches are essential to the State, aad theretore they arc entitied to cxemption. A consiaeration of the waole subect Wil make two toings apparent: 1. That arguments of some toree may be ureed on both sides: 2. Thut only a carc:ul balancing of them will show where at once the pata of cnurch interest aud of pubhiz policy may be found. 1815 this balancing which is attempted in the article we are consid- ing. " Fa writér contends, and. as it scems to us, cozently, that the State has a right to tax church property if it so chooses. ~There is norbing peculiar in the character of church ‘property which should, as a matter of funaa- nental right, give It exemption. Taxation is for the support of the State. It is the duty of ihe Chureh to support the State. It is her in- ‘terest us well. At tue same thne the State has a right to give exempuion from taxation if, in ber jude- meat, it is for the publicgoou that this be dove. Tne State has indeed no right to discriminate agatnst any relizion, to exempt one denomina- tion and thereby increase the burdens of an- other denomination. But sbe Lus a rixht to realize ber ideal of hizhest natiouul life, and, if that can best be secured by encouruging re- lizion, as tending to develon and foster those moral princibles without which no State is se- cure, then she nasa richt 50 to encouraze re- lirion. And if for such comcourugement the State chooses to exempt broperty which is wholly unproductive, und which is used wholly for beoevolent and moral purposes, and su indirectly, at Ieast, for the good of the State, sh has a bigh rizht to make such cxemption. The question then belne clear in the fieid of right, resojves itself iutoone of expediency. Isit best to tax churcn property? Mr. Rica- ards’ points briefly put are as follow: lu favor of taxation— 3 1. Tae State should not aid peoole to do what they can well envugh do for themselves. 2. The release of church property imposes a heavier burden on other property. 3. It helps a churen to wealth, and so to am- bition and power that may become dangerous to liberty. 4. 11 is heaitbier independent, Agumnst taxation— L The State ought to encourage retigion as its verv * est aily. 2. Churches dre the poorest corporations in the State, bavinr property wholly uuproductive, and using it wholly for the iudirect good of the State. 3. Financially weak, the difference between taxation and no taxation would often be to churches the difference between Jife ana death. In drawing this balance the writer concludes that the wain to the State which taxation would briug is trithng compared with the loss of worat power, and so- that while the State has an un- Questionable night to tax churen property, it is one which it will do well not to’ exercise. Ex- ceptions, of course, are to be noted In cases of churches that have productive property. There 15 uo reason Why a church which gets rental from lauu or houses should not pay its propor- tion into the State Treasury for the protection of such property. We comuend these points to our readers. We ncline to think a souna national policy will always exempt church property, and all prop- erty used for purely benevolent purposes, (rom the burden of taxation. We believe in no way can taxes be 60 hizhtened as by encouragement of all moral uod religious influences. At the same time, we are strentions in the conviction that this exemption should be grounded neitber in rizht on the one hand nor in charity on the other. Not in right, for. tue Church 15 not in any such sense independent of the State s to rob the latter of alf power to impose upon the former its equsi share of public burdens. Not in charity, for tbe Church can pay ber taxes and live and gro It bus flourished, not ouly an- der oppressive taxation, but noder coniiscation of ali zoods. But in expediency, vicwed from a Government standpoint, what helps the Chburch advances the State. The reign of righteousuess among the people which itis the aim of the Church to foster is a’ better protec- tion to the State than auytaing the revenues of taxation could possibly secure.
