This is eminently and uptnistak- ably true if you happen to find that man’s hand in the wrong pocket, The whole science of palmistry is con- tained iu one statement:—That when a man attempts to palm himself off for what he ia not, and with seduc- live and spatulated digits tries to get at your ducats, it becomes your duty to hand biw over to justice, which ts probably the only thing be will be afraid of, The expressions of grief are mauiloid and its de- grees are various, ‘*You look sad to-day,” said one who was sympatbetic to bis neighbor, on whose check he discovered the glistening dew drop of 4 great sor- row, “Ana well 1 may,” was the touching reply, within six months I have lost two horses and my wife. tell you I feel pretty bad,’’ Then, heaving a deep sigh, be continued, ‘and they were mighty good horses, too,” In Boston they spread a “gospel not” literally and to some purpose.

Mr, Moody ts made the target for a great deal of sar- casm and alse of burmiess und friendly wit. A lady listened to his discourse the other day, giving a kind of nervous twitch at every ungrammatical expression, and at last turned to ber friend and whispered, ‘1 propose to send up a request for prayer.” ‘A request | for prayer!—for whom?” ‘Why, for poor Lindley Murray, of course.” The Methodists have reached a point when It be- comes necessary to sit with closed doors, ‘The reason js twofold;---First, they say so many foolish things, and in the excitement of debate use so many forcible and expressive agjectives that the shorthund reporter is rtuin Sbake- spearean phrases which the public might pot under stand; and second, they say so many funny things that, unless something desperate were done, the people might regard them as the special correspondents of a comic newspaper who had met to compare notes and by the friction of rival humor to concoct side splitting jokes, Their newspaper organ gays that the reason why they sit with closed doors 1s that the minds of the clergy are unbent on Monday and they don’t kuow exavlly what they may say under the excitement of extempore speech, We never heard before that the unbent mind of a Methodist minister was 80 combus- tible as to ve dangerous, but, of course, if it is, let the doors be closed and the explosion be confacd as much as possible, Our enthusiasm depends of course on how anuch wo are interested and onthe way in which wo are in- terested. Dr. Hart lectured a little while ago on the agreeable results which follow a glass of spiced rum. Notonly does the precious fluid create a delightful titilation of the nervous system as it flows through tho esophagus, but after it has reached the great centre of all human hopes, the stomach, 1t acts as a gentle stimulant and mukes one oblivious of all tho ills of life, The Doctor does not go far enough. Rum will do more than he promises for it, 1t will make a map so happy that ho will lie down in w gutter and so sweetly oblivious that he will torget to pay his debts or provide for his family. “St. Paul’s allasion to women preachers will certainly drive some of the ministers into the josane asylum un- less they tuke heroic measures to keep themselves caim. Atthe Baptist meeting on Monday the subject came up for discussion, and for a little while it seemed as though the whole company would end their useful- ness by spontaneous combustion. They agree, how- ever, in the determination—peaceably i possible, forcibly it necessary—to keep the women where they belong—t. ¢., in the silent corner of the church. The Baptist ministers are all marricd men, and whea they talk ubout feminine silence as a possibility they show only too plainly that their domestic experience has caused a temporary aberration of mind. If they pro- pose really to enforce sitence on the part of the women ‘they will be compelled to let the magic word “bap- tize’”’ take care of itself for a while (which would en- danger the body) aud give their individual attention to that most unruly of uoraly members, the tongue of the woman who wants to preach, Dr. Reid interprets St. Paul as meaning that women may talk in meeting, but they must not ask any bard questions, When their superiors, men, muko a state- ‘ment they must at once accept it as the final truth on that subject, The science of natural history, however, alter ages of study of that peculiar creation known as woman, informs us that a quict acquiescence in the expressed will of man does notalways occur, and what the Baptists propose to do when this rebellious state of things occurs we are anxious to find out. ‘A groat many people seem to be tretting themselves about what is to,bappen to them in heaven who had better be looking a littie more clozely at tne cuties of this life, It docs not make much difference whether we are to have two wings or four when we get on the other side until we bave settled tke more Important question as toour going there at all, and belore we cudgel our imaginations to paint fantastic pictures of the pleasures we ure to enjoy by and by wo had better find out whether our exit is to be an ascent ora descent. There is one rule which it is always safe to follow:—See that the present Is properly taken care of and the Lord will see that you don’t lose anything in the future. Swedenborg says that tho fact of sex obtains in the other world as well as here, How he knows we tannot tell, Nothing 1s detinitely stated on the subject iv Holy Writ, and he must therefore base his argument on feminine obstinacy and persistency, For if she will he will, you may depend on’t; ‘And if she won't she won't, so there’s on end on’t. Suiil there is one pusaage from which a mighty in- ference may be drawn, It is that verse which declares that there was silence in heaven forthe space of half an hour, The conclusion 13 inevitable that up to the present moment Swedenborg’s statement 1s incorrect. What may occur in the tutare is left in doubt, but judg- ing from our knowledge of the other sex and compar- ing it with the verse alluded to we are compelied to say that the chances of somo people are very sitm in- deed, like the dulcet tones of soft music, ‘This kind of music filled the chapel of the United Presbyterian Chureb iu West Forty-fourth street a few evenings since, The quarrel began at concert pitch, and unless some of the members bad been sharp they would have found them. | selves flat. The oratorio was set to English words, which were enunciated with a musical distincwess that was unmistakable. One gentioman, a basso pro- Jundo, rose to bis place and sang with great eflect and ‘wonderful expression, the song beginning, You lying puppy.’ His neighbor, avery high tenor, responded with the touching air, “Ifwe were not inthe charch I'd go throug you.”” A maiden lady was encored alter sho bad deposited her vote to the tune, “Touch that if you dare,” and then the whole assembiy Joined in the favorite chorus, “Bring tn, bring in, oh, bring 1m the perlice.’? It 19 predicted by critics that the periorm- ance will mark an epoch tn church music. The con- gregation is how rehearsing “Lot brethren dweli to- gether in unity,” but when they will be able to bring it out fs a matter of groat uncertainty. Dr. Mendes, in his recent lecture “Under Blue Glasa,”” suggested the happy idea of applying the cura- tive properties of blue glass to the Standard Hall if followed, would no doubt do much to reduce the | abnormal turgidity of the members, clear their blood | of much insidious poison and remove that fatal woak- ness about the joints which characterizes the Franken- stein of Professor Auler’s creation, PALM SUNDAY, THE LAST SUNDAY OF LENT—BLESSING THE PALMS—DIBLE HISTORY OF THE DAY—SER+ VICES IN THE CHURCHES. ‘To-day is Palm Sunday, which the Church celebrates with great ceremony, Lonoring the triumphant entry of the Redeemer into Jerusaiem five days before His crucifixion. It is the first day of Holy Week, tho last of Lent, when the solemn exereises are gone through with in all the churches, commemorative of the final stages in the Passion of Christ, On this day the palma aro blessed and distributed among the people, In Vatholic countrics the palms are carried in the public processions which commomorate tho entry into Jera- salem; but in this country only small branches aro distribuved im the churches, many of tho more devout uae ‘The sweet phrases of an ecclesiastical quarrel are | Society for Ethical Culture, ‘The Doctor's proscription, | during the day.

When He drew near to Jerusalem He stopped at the house of bis friend Lazarus and his tvo_ sisters, Mary avd Martha, in the village of Bethany, most two miles from the city, and rested there, and on Sunday morning proceeded to the city, When near Betbphaye, a village which was a kind of suburb to Jerusulem, built on a part ot Mount Olivet, He sent tivo diserples into the village to bring an ass for Hun to ride on, saying to them, ‘You will find an ass hed und a colt with her; louse them and bring them to me, And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, ‘the Lord hath need of them’ and He wili Jet them xo.” ‘The disciples did us they were told, and when the owner of the ass and the foul heard tor whom they were wanted be let tuem go. ‘The Saviour had always been in the babit of performing His journeys on foot, but on this occasion He desired to make the journey to Jerusalem on an uss on which no one defere had sa, It is noticed that St Mark and St. Luke mention only tho foal, but this is explained by the interpreters by the fact that it was on the foal that Jesus chiofly sat, This circum- stauce was foretold by the prophet Zuchurie;— “Rejoice greatly, U daughter. of Sion; shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold thy king will come to thee, the just one and Saviour; He is poor and rid- ing upon av igs, aud upon a colt, the foal of an ass.’? Among the Jews it was pot unusual for persons of the first distinction to ride on asses, but it was not, accord. ing to the custom of that age, 4 distinguished’ way of travelling to ride on an ass not yet broke and without avy covering, So some of the disciples spread their own clothes on the ass on which He sat, and others strewed on the way their garments and reen boughs which they lopped trom the trees * The crowds that followed and went before were chiefly of the lower rank of the people, aud these’ carrying groen boughs in their bands, cried oat, “Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed 18 He that cometh in the name of the Lord; hosanva tn the highest.”? The meaning of the acclimation of joy, as expressed in the word bosanna, is Interpreted to be, “salvation and a prosperous reign to the Messiah.” In this way the Saviour entered the Holy City, THR PALMS.

THE POPE’S EPISCOPAL JUBILEE. PRESENTS FROM THE FAITHYUL TO THE HOLY FATHER. Acorrespondent of the Parts Débats, writing from Rome on the 10th inst., says:—‘*A monster pilgrim. age is announced to take placo here in the month of May, No less than 200,000 are stated to be likely to come to celobrate the episcopal Jubilee of Pius IX. It is probable that this number will be reduced by at loast nine-tenths; at the same time the affluence will bo large; there will be Polos, Hungarians and oven Bra- zillans, all of whom will bring presents of various kinds to the Pope, Relative to this 1 cannot refrain from making an observation, Objects of art, or what | are called such, of very coubtful tuste, are brought to the Vatican, and they cut a very sorry figure in tho midst ol the chefs-d’@uvre which crowd the pontifical palace.

TEMPLE EMANUEL, GRAVES OF LUST-—DISCOURSE BY DR. GOTT- HEIs A very large congregation assembled in Temple Emanuel yesterday morning. Dr, Gottheil, who has been for the last few woeks considering the subject of ‘asceticism,’ took up yose terday the opposite extreme and delivered an able dis- course on the “Graves of Lust.” s ‘The reverend gentleman selected Lis text from Num- bers, 1x., 34—""And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattianab, because there they buried the peo- ple that had justfuliy eraved.”” Dr. Gottheil, alter dwelling some time on the carly history of Israel, said the road which Isract traversed on her journey to Palestine was marked by many sad memorials, nono more so than the spot which bore the reproacbtul namo of “Graves of Lust’? The shaits so craftily aimed at tho woakest points of human frailty and the Animal appetite took offeet, the people cried for better fare, they had tt to their heart’s content, but the great reaper, Death, laid bis she@ves tastand thick, Here we have an instance of the opposite extreme to the one which we considered in the previous discourse. Hitherto we have considered the evils which aro in- separable trom asceticism; hero we see the still more banelul effects of sensuatism; that is, of the uncon- trolled rule of the carvabdesiros, [t Would, indeed, bo @ mere Wuste of time and Words to argue aguinat such “AGATHA,” doctriner—did the occupant of a Jewish pulpit ever deem it his duty to warn bia bearers against the snarcs that lie hidden the glittering surlace with which its advocates skilfully ‘nm it—for it bag ta and what the destructive elements of modern have begun to eat Into the rene. practical which Israel knew how to preserve amid the fearful ordeals through which she has passed.

But I am not sure that we are as watchful inst the approach of the enemy as we ought to be, Playing with fire 13 not the safest occupation, We forget that when the foundations are undermined tho structure, however strovg in appearance, must crumble, and we ought not to take hght of the scepticism of our days when it lays hand ou the truths which our morality, our lottiest hopes, are intimately connected with. Wo ought not to rock ourselves into security by @ too im- pilcit trust in our strength.

The prisoner, in Whose benalf tho greutest sympathy Is expressed among wany wfluenti and old resideuts of Brooklyn because of bis family connections, was taken before Police Justico Andrew Walsh yes- terday forevoon. He looked sad, and had evidently sed the night in tears. Couusellor William 1, Whiting, a cousin of the prisoner, appeared in his be- half. Mr, Messenger made the complaint, Counsel for the defendant asked for a postponement of tho case, Which the Court granted ull Monuay noxt. Au ellort was made to bave him confined at the Washington Street Station Houxe, but the Judge committed him to the Raymond Street Jail, He was locked up 1n cell No. 41, and when the key of the door was turned upon him be wept hke a child, appearing for the first time to realize tue degrading position th which his crime had placed him, Whiting says that be spent the missing $10,000; but that is ubsurd, unless, indeed, he invested it mm government bonds, which he might’ have done; or he tay have | placed it under an assumed’ name, to his own credit, in some institution, The unfortunate man says that ho is ruined any way, and wants to provide for his family, Whiting stole $106,250 01 in totes and $57,807 46 1n cash, of which all ‘but $10,000 was re- covered. His bondsmen ure rexponsiblo to the bank for $5,000, and he has a house which is valued at $5,000 and upon which the bank authoritios can and will, levy when thoy see fit to do so.

Burwell, boarded his flagship, the United States steamer Powhatan, at balf-past ten yesterday morning, and was received with tho usual honors. The scone on board was a very brilliant one, tho officers being in full uniform, with cocked hats, The marines, under command of Lieutenapt Kelton, were drawn up in three files on the port side of the quarter deck, opposite to the starboard gangway. ‘The seamen were all at their quarters and the officers were ranged in two rows on the starboard side of the deck, On stepping from the steam launch and mounting the gangway the Admiral was reccived by Captain Russell, commanding the Powhatan, by Executive Officer Chadwick and the officer of the deck, The officers ull raised their hats in salute, the drummer of marincs beat a couple of rolls and the marines presented arms, Passing along the starboard side of the deck through the officers, to whom he was generally presented by Captain Kussell, the Admiral and bis tlag lioutenant, es- corted by the captain ot the ship and the orner oflicers, entered the captain’s cabin, Hero the officers of the ship were received by Admiral Rowan, being severally personally presentod. by Captain Russell, The crow and marines wero in excellent condition and did credit to their officers, The marines presented a very sol- dierly appearance and went through their evolutions in dine style, After the reception of the Admiral all bands were piped to raise anchors, aud at eleven o'clock the flagship tripped her anchors and steamed trom her anchorage, just off the Battery, up the North River, About this time Commodore Nicholsou, com- mandant at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, passed up the rivor in bis barge on bis way to puy his respects to the Russiun Admiral on board the flagship Svetiand, where he teudered the Grand Duke and oflicers of the fleet the facilities of the Navy Yard. At ball-past eleven the Powhatan came to anchor just abreast the toot of Thirtceath street, at about the same distance from the shore as the Bogatyr, which lay the furthest up the river of the Russian fleot, The Svotland was anchored uear the middie of the river, off Twenty-third street, while the Askold lay further down and near the Jersey shore, Visit OP THR RUSSIAN ADMIRAL. At ono o'clock Rear Adimiral Boutakolt left his flag- sbip the Svetland tn bis sixteen-vared barge, accom- panied by Lieutenant Commander Aicxiell, his chief of staf, Prince Bariatinsky was the midshipman in charge of the Admiral’s barge, As the Russian -Aduniral lett tno side of his ship the drums on the Pow- hatan beat for the assewbly of the marine guard, who drew up, as in tho morning, on the port gide of the quarter deck. At ten minutes past ono the beaatitul Rassian bargo drew up alongsive: tho Powhatan, and the visiting Admiral, with Licu- tenant Cominander Alexieff, mounted the gangway and were received at the port by Admiral Rowan, Captain Russell, Lieutenant Commander Chadwick, Flag Liea- tenant Burwelland the orficer of the deck, As the Russian Admiral stepped on the quarter deck the drammer beat two rolia and the marines presented arms, Admiral Boutakolf, advancing, shook hands with Adiniral Rowan and the other oflicers. The party ot oflicers, tno two Adimirals leading them, walked back to the Admiral’s cabin, where they remained for some three-quarters of an boar. At two o’cluck tho Rus- sian Admiral and his flay officer re-embarked in thelr barge, being accompanied to the gangway by Admiral Rowan and the other threo American officers, the | drum beating and the marine guard presenting arms as at hig arrival. SALUTING VICE ADMIRAL BOUTAKOFP, Tho Russian Admiral’s barge then drew oft from the Powhatan, and the seamen: lay on their oars, while the guns of the Powhatan thundered the thirteen guns due to the rank ot Rear Admiral Boutakom ‘The Kus- sian Admiral acknowledged the salute by raising bis hat ug the flaso sprang trom the first guy, and wat un- covered until the salute was finished, Tho almost deufening roar of the Leavy guns of the Powhatan had hardly died trom the cars of those on that vessel, when, ag the smoke which shrouded the ship lifted, the quick flash and putt from side to side ot the Svet- land could be seen, answering gun for gun the salute paid to their Admiral, The echoes of the shore caught up the report of the return gnluie and sent the sounds reverberating ulong the river siue. Admiral Kowap will probably to-morrow return the visit of Adwiral Boutakof, and wil be received on board the Svetland with the honors due to his rank as Vice Admiral of the American Navy, Captain Fillebrown will to-morrow relieve Cuptuin Russell of the command of the flagship Powhatan, the latter oflicer going on waiting orders. ‘This week being Holy Week, a time strictly observed by the Greek Caurch, it 1s not probable that any entertainments will be given to the ollicers of the visiting squadron, Alter- ward, however, Lent being over, arrangements for their entertamment during their stay in New York will probably take shape. Dinners and breakiasts will be given by the Americans, and the courtesies returned by the Russian officers, and possibly a vall in their honor may be given at tho Navy Yard, The Svewand and Bogatyr both formed part of tho Russian squadron which ¥! d New York with the Grand Duke Alexii on board 1 October, 1871.

Rev. Dr. Hall officiated and at the conclusion of tho soiemn ceremonies delivered a brief address, in which he alluded to the length of tine he had known the de- coused and the excellence of his family, The reverond gentleman remembered him when, as a boy, be had come to this couptry and emigrated to the Western wild; and upon jus returning to this city Dr, Hall was not plantas al recetving a loticr of his membership from a Western chureh. ‘An opinion of the matter of death among thoso who knew the deceased was that reason had left her throne | and that he was then to be no ionger helt accountable for his actions, The strain, the Doctor said, upon the brains of many of our business ten for the past few yeurs has been enormous, and it was wondertul that go few had given Way to the pressure, He advised the business men present to pause aud consider whether it was wie for them to so completely throw themselves iuto a subject Which would create such a strain, aud sald it would bo better for them to keep their business well in hand so that they might be its master and not its slave, He remurked upon tho danger of losing the idea of the solemnity of death from frequent coming In contact with it in the shape of their former associate and called their attention to the fhet that they had but “once to die, and after death the judgment.” Ho roierred in a feeling manner to the widow, with her uow-born aud fatherless intant, and also of the aged father and sorrowing sister ina foreign Jand. ‘Tho address was followed with an oloquent prayer, and after the benediction was pronounced the body was romoved to the hearse and taken to the Grand Central Depot, whore a special train was in waiting to convey itand the friends to Woodlawn Cometery, whore the intermont was to be made, ots Annie Ackert, thirteen yoars of ago, of No, 218 Throop avenue, Brooklyn, has been missing from her home for tho past two days, The supposition 1s that FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Stock Market Active ‘ and Steady.

Even the Twenty-third street bears, who spit venom and utter» rank, poisonous sentiments as to the future, were de- tected as sly buyers of Lake Shore and Central and Hudsou, while to the party from the Pacific was at, tributed the leadership in the general advance, The movement was not without more than one check, how. ever, auring the day, and the gain was moro in the way of faith in a better market than in an absolute in- crease in figures. While there are certain existing causes which would authorize, or even invite, an up. ward turn, it 18 not to be forgotten that the entire matter of speculation ts simply a huge gamble, in which the leading operators are as much prufession- ally engaged us are dusky “legs”? in a questionablo “bank.’”? If an upward impulse is now to bo given to the markot it 18 because there 18 a betier chance to win on the long side than on the short, it being demon- strable that while tho bear “diggings” have heen pretty well woxked out there remains a bull placer of considerable richness which has lain veglected fora long period. But while prices are mauipulaved hke puppots they who pull tho strings do eo advisedly.

Just now he tinds them in the short accounts of thoso who have been so industri+ ously crying “havoc,” and in certain signs which point toa prospective improvement in the country’s condition, Among those patent to-day was the revive ing confidence in the so-called investment shares and in the report that some definite schome would bo pre- sented at the meeting of the coal ‘com- panies’ on Thursday, which, without going to tho extent of a combination, would tend to harmonize conflicting interests and work to the mutual advantage ot all concerned, To the railroads proper fresh strength was given by tho information that the presidents of the trunk lines wero in session at the ~ Windsor Hotel for the purpose of adjusting Now Eng- land freights, and that tho Central and Hudson and Erie had satisfactorily arranged the mooted question between them upon tho same subject. The alliance between the railroads bas never been implicitly bee. hevod in, and has suffered ander the impitation'of Punic faith, greatly to the disadvaptage of tho propem® ties themselves, and it requires somo such assuring action as above referred to to dispel the belief that the compact is not liable to sudden disruption. Mattera looking thus comparatively cheerful it required ne great effort to give a lift to values, and the power being applied to the prominent favorites the rest of the list followed in sympathy. The stocks chiefly beno- fited were Lake Shore, Central and Hudson, Burlington, and Quincy and the coal carriers, while the miscel- lancous list lagged bebind andin some instances lest the gain of the morning in final dealings, Thus Weste tern Union, alter advancing one per cent, closed at opening figures, while Atlantic and Pacific and Pacifia Mail made a worse showing still, Novertholess, the market at the end may be described as decidedly strong for tho railroads, bat somowhat irregular for tho rest of the list. ‘THE SALES TO-DAY.
