THERE seems to be a slight misunderstanding at the Methodist Church between the minister and the congregation. It usually occurs at the close of the services, when the minister requests the congregation to

MANY of our readers will remember Rev. J. W. Diefendorf, who combined the occupations of preaching and soliciting for a Life Insurance Company. We learn that he was married on Friday of last week to Mrs. Ware, a widow of Peoria, Ills., who is werth half a million. That is better than insurance business.

With one soft kiss & thousand ftirlongs, ere With spur we heat au acre The world is good and bad, and mixed. Most of us are good in our own estimation, while others are only ^tolerable or extremely bad in the same estimation.

This is the world as we live in it. When we preach or write about it, things are changed. The tendency is to attempt to divide mankind into two great hostile classes, the line of distinction varying with the characters of the ones drawiag it. There is a line of this kind drawn near home, and against it we wish to protest, not that there may not be some excuse for it, but because human nature can't behave well with it. It may be well to talk of respectability, but very few know how to behave when they get on the respectable side Not even all ministers can comprehend the distinction between Christians and non-Christians. There is a certain pride of feeling which makes a man, when lie believes he is on the safe side, look with contcmpt upon those who are on the opposite side. The preacher warns his flock against the wiles of the "world." They mix with their neighbors who arc non-Christians, find them, in business and in society, much as themselves, and respect tbeiu, except when Sunday comes, and they take noplaceinthechurcb. The minister talks of the -'world" as a great monster much to be feared. Every man who is not a Christian regards himself as a part of the "world," and the remark as personally applicable to him. The consequence is an enmity, or a prejudice, which is little better than an enmity against Christianity. There is amoral and an immoral, but abuse of the immoral man does not make him better, but worse. "One man can lead a horse to water, but ten men can't inake him drink." There is a great, good principle which, without interference, tends to draw all men about it. Christianity, morality and respectability are centers of attraction, but lose their power when confined by a fence thrown about them by men. The bad will follow when the good lead the way. When the good stand off and only pray, the bad get worse for very spite. '.

It is this characteristic stubbornness of man which makes class distinctions so dangerous. Any city has its number of men who would be "respectable" were it not that another class of different associations has already laid claim to the title. Their claims to consistency prevent them from acknowledging they are wrong and others are right. If properly approached they might do right and be right provided they could be known as men, and not as a class. They have become accustomed to their own side of the fence and are not willing to abandon it. Remove the fence and give all parties a joint interest in the premises, and they unconsciously compromise and then surrender, by occupying the very ground they had refused.

Wabash Magazine.

The Wabash Magazine for the last College Term has made its appearance. The Magazine is regarded by the friimds of the College as tho measure of its ability, and is looked for with interest. The boys put on their best clothes when they make their appearance the Magazine. It- is true the clothes are not always of the best fit, and some of the boys lack the stamina to put them on, but experience proves that their interest in the Magazine is a test of their interest in the College. The present number is not less readable than previous numbers. The first article, a part of President 'Puttie's Itcture to the students, at the beginning of the present College year, is eminently characteristic of the interest with which its author regards the young men placed under, his charge. The articles entitled "The three Professions," and "The Surrender of Manhood," are well worth a perusal It is si noticeable feature of thftpresont number that the Sanctum and the Local difler on the question of ,the .admission of females.

There are many typographical errors, but we suppose the editors regret their occurrence quite as much as others. The greatest objection to the present number is that it is more than two weeks behind time. We suspect there is alack of energy among the students. "Hoiet up sail while gale doth ldst," And come into port at the appointed day, the next time.

Ladies' Reading Association.'The Entertainments of the Ladies' Reading Association, at Eltzroth Hall, on Friday and Saturday evenings oflast week, were better than mauy supposed they would be. On Friday evening was presented The Mi ser or The Seven Bags of Gold. Claude Darnaud (Mr. II. II. Wade) was particularly good—but few city theatres keep a better "old man" in stock than Mr. Wade makes. Yictorine, the Miser's Daughter, (Miss Mary II. Ivrout) wi? excellent. The part is a "heavy" one, and this young lady more than fulfilled the expectations of the audience. Of the other charactcys in the play, that of Simon (Stanley SimpsonjOvas the best rendered.

On Saturday evening The Coming Wo man was presented by" speci/il request. The parts were filled as at previous entertainments, and with butlittle improvement, particularly Mr. Carberry.

The tableaux illustrating the song "Father, come home," were injifrtfssively .-•bcaati{iU.,^fettw«gijig,oiLeach^v«niBg.wa8V6ry good among the pieces which pleased us most wej-e "The IJaven," by Messrs* M. H. Gpley:, I*. Y^^aleyip.miWad4^ '«iig H. Hough, and "Robin Rough" by Messrs. M. II. Galey and II- H. Wade

We trust the Association will continue their Entertainmeuts, for. wc have mueh home talent among us, which only needs development.

CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL:'JANUARY 14, 1869.

f* .2 For the Journal. Marshall Mills. Rarely has there been such a solemn and impressive funeral as that of Marshall Mills, on Tuesday. After a brief sickness, which was stubborn to yield to treatment, he died on Saturday Eve., in the 22d year of his age. While a successful student at Wabash College, where he graduated last summer, he entered the army and served honorably and faithfully two years. After graduation, he studied medicine with Dr. McClelland, and gave great promise of being an ornament to that profession. His turn of mind was inquiring and quick, and he progressed rapidly in his studies. He was eminently possessed of noble and generous qualities of heart. In all social circles, his genial disposition and large heartedness made him an universal favorite. For his religious views, .we have the most unqualified respect. Not of a captious and caviling spirit, but rather of a profound reverential love for the Bible and its hopes. To him Religion was doing, not prof essing, loving it, and no pretending it.. His deep love for the most important of subjects, was his firm stay in the trying hour, and hence that entirely serene and trustful condition of mind, which he manifested when last conscious, but a few moments before his death. A physician present said that he never saw one die so calmly, and whose mind was so much at ease. Many friends and associates mingled their tears on his untimely grave, and we who are left, will do well to beget such a truthful view of life, as had our departed friend.

A Suggestion.

Wc learn that Messrs. T. S. Kelly & Co., and James Patterson, who were recently burned out, will, as soon as the weather permits, commence the erection, on their lots on Main street, of handsome brick buildings, three stories, perhaps, in height. The lots of these gentlemen have a front of CO feet, and a depth of 80 feet. We suggest to these gentlemen that they unite and make the third story a handsome hall. 60x80 will give a hall of size fully adapted to the wants of the city for a number of yeirs. And if the gentlemen named do not feel disposed to invest an amount sufficient to build and properly tit up such a hall, we suggest that a company be formed to make an arrangement with Messrs. Kelly & Co., and Patterson to carry out this idea. We are in favor of a good hall, and sincerely hope some arrangement will be made to secure us one next summer. What say the people of the city

Phonography.

Several persons have expressed to me a desire to pursue the study of Phonography, and asked me to give them the benefit of my knowledge of the science in the way of instruction. If a sufficient number will organize themselves into a class, I will cordially unite with them and devote one or .two evenings each week to its study, and cheerfully assist them to the best of inability. Contrary to general opinion, Phonography is not "hard to learn,'' but to successfully acquire it, requires will and application. Those who do not posscss these requirements should not undertake it. Some of the best Phonographers in the country are self-taught, among them J. B. McCullagh, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the most rapid writer in the West. Those wishing to join the class may leave their names it the JOCRNAL office.

FRANK SEAMAN,

Military Company.

A meeting Was held at th"e court house on Tuesday evening, to orgauize a military company. Gen. Wallace vfas called to the chair, and Capt. Chas. Kellogg selected as Secretary. A committee of five was appointed to recruit the necessary number to form the company. xVs soon as this is done, the Company will be properly organized, and we may soon expcct to see "our gallant soger boys" marching past the Stone Front.

Extension of the City, liiniits. At their regular meeting in December, the City Couneil of Cravfqrdfyille, passed a resolution extending the city limits so as to take in Blair & Houston's two additions on the northwest limits, by which North street is extended a distance of 29 lots and also Grah »tA, Houston & Connard's addition on the southeast limits, by which College street is extended cast 26 lots, and Frank lin street east 25 lots. We trust that the building season of 1869 will witness the erection of a house on each of these lots.

"He Mas Departed!"

With regret we announce that the senior of the Crawfordsville JOURNAL has "departed" ifroin the path of usefulness and rectitude, and accepted a position as Assistant Clerk in he^IIousc of Representatives ol^tlie Indiana Legislature. We trust that George Harding, of the Evening Mirror will sec to it that his morals are not corrupted by association with the members of that body, and if necessary bring him before the "Council of Ten."

Property and Taxes.

The whole amount of taxable property in Montgomery county, as shown by the last assesment, is $11,162,693. The amount of taxes assessed i« $16?,193 63.

The amount of real estate and personal property assessed $9,125,470. of improvements $1,783,588, and town lots $253.G40 The Whold number of dogs assessed is 2,584. Union Township is assessed $6S6 for dbgs,' and Crawfqrijsviire $101'. The total deg tax in the county is $2,798.

THE friends ofWilson, wife of the late Hon. Jas. whlsiny minister,to "Vtenelsuela, will be pleased to learn that, on last Thursday a bill passed the House allowing her one quarter of her husband's salary.

Disappointed.

On Menday evening last, a couple arrived at,the Richardson House from 'Waveland, on matrimonial intentions bent. Both were of tender years, of an age so young, that th^ papfers necessary to consummate their desire, could not be obtained, to the great disappointment of the young and loving couple. Having failed here in their attempt to be made one, they departed for some other locality, where we hope they have ere this succeeded in carrying out the desire of their hearts.

Fire Department Meeting. At the adjourned meeting of the Fire Department on Tuesday evening reports were presented from the several committees. That on organization presented a Constitution and set of By-Laws, which were to have been acted'on laist (Wednesday) evening. The organization will now assume a tangible shape, and wc hope to soon annonnce the fact that our city has a completely equipped Fire Department.

THERE will be a supper given at Eltzroth's Hail, under the auspices of the I. O. O. F., on Wednesday evening, January 20. All, whether Odd Fellows or not, are invited. Admission 50 cts.

MARRIED.

AVILSON—TALBOT—On Wednesday, January 6th, 1869, bv Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle, Mr. James A. Wilson, of New York city, to Miss Rebecca Talbot, ot this vicinity.

The following impromptu lines addressed to the bride on her wedding day, express our sentiments exactly:

How blue the sky—how bright the sun, The day thy wedded life's oegun! Mav all thy days be calm as this—
