Father O’Far- relh Jr. At St. Peter's, in Barclay atreet, yesterday, high mass was celebrated by I’ather O'Farrell, Sr. After the chanting of the gospel Father O'Farrell, Jr,, ascended the pulpit, and having read a portion of tke Scriptures, took his text from Malachias, L, 10:—From the rising of the sun, even to the going down of the same, My name is praised by the heathen, and everywhere there is a sacrifice anda clean oviation otfered unto Me, for My name ts great mong the Gentiles’? Such were the memorable Words from the Iip3 of Malachias, when, full of the spirit of God, he saw in the future, spread out before him, the clean oblation—the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. Compured to this sacrifice those of Abe), of Noah ana of Abraham were of no value. ‘They were merely its types and figures. No wonder that it was with lips trembling with the fir of heaven that the prophet toid us of the sacrifice of the mass, by which imapkind procures all graces, both spiritual and temporal, which are necessary for salvation.

POWER TO OFFER THE MASS was conferred by Unrist on tis Apostles and by the Aposties on their successors; for the Lord cried out atthe last supper, “Do this 11 commemoration of Mme"’—viz., oiler the same sacruice which 1 have just offered to My Eternal Father.

FOURTH PRESBYTERIAN CAUROH. An Interesting Discourse on the Object and Result of Christ’s Humiliation, Suferings and Death. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 1870, In the morning the pastor, Rev. Jou ©. Smith, D.D., preached a very interesting discourse to a large congregation from Hebrews, 1., 9—“But we see Jesus, wie was madea litte lower than the angelsfor the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man.”’ The points of the discourse are the humiliation of Jesus; the obfect inj view, the suffering of death; the result, Jesus crowned with glory aud honor, How tender, how divine, was Jesus even toward his most | untiring enemies. We cannot properly say that Christ was arrested. He delivered up himself to | the band of men let by that apostate «disciple. | These men fell backward and were overpowered at | the calmness, digotty and divinity’ of Jesus when He | | stated to them “aim He.’ He was led as a lagib to | the slaughter. The Epiatie to the Hebrews was | probably written by Paul. In it he makes clear ali the points in regard to the piety and humanity of Jesus. These points are not very Clear to our mids, and though we have had the Scriptures of the Old | and New Testaments in our hands we are compara tively in the *, aud can scarcely tell ‘THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF EVERNAL LIFE.

Her abilities as an actress are unquestionable; but we doubt if ever her voice could, even {pn years past, be classed among those of the true artistic school. Its faults wre in the fntonation aud that “throatiness’? which seems to stide the tone at its very meeption, Miss Roso Hersee’s little, sparkling soprano volce is admirable in its fine, and for light muste we would desire no better.

Some of the upper votes are absolutely painful in ther shrilluess. Campbell was suffertug from a cold last week, and consequently his superb baritone voice was under # cloud. Bowler is an excellent tenor, but has some disagreeabie points in bis singing, the principal one being un- evenness in intonation. Laurence’s voles, naturally splendid, 1s so far spoiled by a bad school that one never knows exactly What note he sings.

Lonpoy, Oct, 13, 1871 “The Odds"! is the odd title of an odd enough play— @n olla podrida of many previous dramas, and Which is now in course of representation at the Hol- born theatre, “What's the odds as long as you're happy?’ is a favorite query with philosophers of the Poeco curan’e school, to which we may confidently reply (hat the odds are one thousand to one it won't | last. Anyhow {! would be a safe bet in the case of Mr. Sefton Parry’s play, the pleasure it inspires being not only infinitesimal in quantity, but compara- ble to duration to a wreath of the mist, a bubble on the stream, a snowflake on the river, or anything | else whereby senitmental poets may be pleased to | Image forth the transitory nature of all earthly joys, There ts very utile to admire in Mr. Parry's drama, aud that litte is soon over. The principle upon which he nas proceeded in the construction of this singular work would seem to be thi Given the success of Mr. Dion Boucicault’s two melodramas, “The Flying Scua” and “After Dark, in the former of which the chief attraction was @ steeple chase and the latter a raliway train, it follows that a play combiniog both a steepie chase and @ railway train must of nocessity succeed; but this ts a fallacy. “Woe betide the author,” writes a French eritio, “whose sole ambition ts to astonish; for people won't be astonished twice.’ (+ Mal- heur, & celul qui ne pense gw éionner parcequon ne sictonne pas deux fois”) That is just what has happened in the present instance, A sen- sation loving public were delighted to see the stage converted first iIntoa race course and then intoa railway tunnel; butelther spectacle grows tedious on repetition. Auresté “Odds’’ is mainly remarkable for its com. bination of minute realistism In matters of no mo- ment, with utter disregard of trathfalness in all essential particulars, Every incident of the plotis @ sip against probability, aud every personage of the | story ts a bel apon human nature; but to act against these flagrant offences, against the eternal Gtness of things, we have live horsea dashing across the stage and the most exact representation of a panting, pulling, biazing, smoking locomotive ever seen im a@ playhouse. These creatures and things are most precise and life-like; out inasinnch «as horses ‘and steam engines may be seen by the hundred for nothing, it is hardly to be expected that peopie should pay to look at them, Nor is winch edification to be derived by & well conducted audience from fellowship with the dramatic characters—a tascally convocation of sharpers, swindlers, blacklegs, forgers, turfites and gudacons, who engage 1n ail sorts of nefarious prac- tuces, and are heinousiy criminal without being in the least romantic. What enhances the absurdity of the play and strangely contrasts with the elaborate realisin disceruilae in some paris Of it ts that two of the male characters are assigned for representa- tonto women, Why or whereior if ty ppopsiule to conjecture.
