Each lamp, according to the time table burns about 3,830 hours and four (4) feet per hour, making 15,320 cubic feet, which at $2 32 (conti act price and Government tax added) makes the cost of gas for each post per year. $35 54.

NEW YEAR'S DAY passed as most other opening days of the year have passed before. Most of the larger stores, the banks, newspaper offices, city and county offices were closed, giving a semi-Sunday ap pearance to the city. A cloudy sky and mud under foot caused outdoors to beany thing but inviting, and while the younger people in plug hats, carriages and laven der kids made their rounds of New Year's calls, most of the older people made them' selves comfortable at home. It is not a bad idea, either, for a man to call on him self on the first of Januaiy, to see what he has done during the old year and what he proposes to do in the new. He may by few hours of intimate companionship learn some disagreeable truths but we can never better ourselves so long as we fancy ourselves perfect. It would be vastly better for all of us to get acquainted with ourselves on New Year's day than with the wines and punches and liquors of our friends. However, we are pleased to learn thai a large majority of ladies re receiving calls on Monday set the praise worthy example of using tea, coffee and chocolate as the only liquids placed before their guests. This is right. There is no reason why families who keep the wines and brandy safely locked in the side boards three hundred and sixty-four days in the year, should turn their drawing' rooms into restaurants, or worse, on the three hundred and sixty-fifth. It is not judicious to give encouragement to a claas of persons, more or less of whom are to be found everywhere, who go from house to house not to greet acquaintances or to pay visits of friendship, but to consume whatever is set before them, especially if it is a bottle, and whose manners grow freer without acquiring additional ele gance as the sum declines. A day of friendly intercourse and social enjoyment is one thing a saturnalia is another. The first is a mark of refinement, the latter of barbarism. The one leaves behind it a host of pleasant recollections the other can only to be remembered with regret.

To the Ladies.—Mre. F. Mautz, sue cessor to Mrs. M. H. Abbott, No. 4 South Fourth street, offers for sale at greatly reduced prices her winter stock of Millinery, consisting of Hats, Bonnets, Rib* bons, Plumes, Flowers, &c in order to make preparation for Spring Goods. Call and see. Jan3—6t.

Now is the time to make your purchases for Christmas. The largest stock of Ladies Watches and Chains, at the lowest prices, is at Freeman's, 161 Main street, near corner of Sixth.

For the Terra Bavte ISxprttti The "Continental" at the Congregational Church.

It was announced in Saturday morning's EXPRESS, in a very enthusiastic manner, that the "Continental" was a magnificent success in every respect—no qualification or abatement. It is no pleasant task or coveted desire, to write a word, or express a sentiment, at variance with that announcement. I do so at the risk of meriting only pity and commiseration from a multitude who there. Few, perhaps, understood what it was all about, and for what object. No one rose to explain. The order cf going,: or proceedings, was comical indeed, and one could hardly tell where centered the greatest attractions. It was a wheel within a wheel and all the wheels seemed to be moving at the same time, and all seemed to be amused and satisfied. There was no formal programme. Under the leadership of the minister things went according to circumstances and order reigned amid confusion.

Now in order to determine whether it was a success unqualified, I must state correctly, if I can, its object and purpose. First, why was it called Continental? In honor of the early Fathers who founded this continent and established here our holy religion untrammeled by unjust laws. The purpose was a double one first, to make the exercises appropriate to a religious commemoration of the early Fathers of a christian Republic, and second, to make it an entertainment for the Sabbath School, and to raise money for its benefit. Now if there was no objection to the place—a church—no im propriety in the exercises, viewed from a moral and religious

Btand

"complete,

unqualified, magnificent snccess in every respect." Let us examine it, and reason about it on christian princi pies. Let us analyze it free from prejudice and self interest. 'We are no servile adherents to the dogma of Papist, or Priestly infalibility. The Bible is our text book, and all actions, and entertainments, beneficient in character and relating to church order, must be tried by the standard there laid down.

Was the church then the proper place to hold, and carry on exercises, such as we witnessed there? We read that, on two different occasions, Christ, in a most summary way, drove out from the Temple, those that sold sheep, oxen and doves, and overturned the tables of the money changers. It was not in the most holy place of the Temple neither, that this was being done. What lesson are we to draw from it? Only this and no more, that we are forbidden to sell sheep, oxen and doves in any part of our churches? Is this all? Then Christ did not intend teach any principles, and we go by the letter "Take these things hence," said Christ, "Make not my Fathers house, a house of merchandise," and the deciples remembered that it was written." "The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up Much must be attributed to zeal. "{Seal, the blind conductor of the will." The prime object of all interest, was to raise money. So it was of those Christ found in the Temple. Very few of all those who went there, gave their money for the interest they felt in the Congrega tional Sabbath School. The Sabbath School was not, probably, thought of. The principle of giving is from the heart, and however little this may be, it amounts to more than a large sum given where the heart goes not with it. On this principle it is doubtful whethe/ the entertainment was a success financially for we must deduct all that was given merely to see some strange things, and gratify -the ap petite. It does seem to me that the plan or principle of raising money for sacred purposes, by getting up shows and feast' ing in the church, is in violotion of the Christian ethics taught by Christ. "And he taught, saying unto them, is it not written, my house shall be called of all nations, the house of prayer? But ye have made it a den of thieves." I know that this can not be said of us, nor of the case under consideration, but where do such things tend? The precedent is a dangerous one, of doubtful propriety, and one I would not like to see repeated The end does not sanctify the means, must be set down, with all other indireel ways of raising money such as raffling comic singing, "Tableaux vivants" anc other scenic shows as demoralizing and undermining of right principles in the church.

Were the exercises appropriate to the occasion, so far as doing honor and reverence to our pious fore-Fathers and fore Mothers? Did our good brethren and sisters from Indianapols, tell us correctly, how they sang the songs of Zion in their simple and unostentatious way, or did they, unintentionalJy, simply burlesque them? I was not there in 1620 or 1700, and can not therefore speak from personal observation, but I incline to think they only burlesqued them in dress, appear ance and song. So far then as this part of the performance failed in inspiring our hearts with feelings of sacred remem brance of the early Christian Fathers, it was a failure. The "tableaux vivants" were indeed beautiful, some of them new and graphic in Silence, amid flaming fire. But.it was a show in the wrong place,—a show in which the minister and Church of Christ ought not to engage in for mon ey. It is a violation of .the solemn consecration to which the building has been devoted. There is that in the natural heart that condemns it, and the world does criticise and condemn it. Will the enlightened Christian do less? Viewed in this light, it was not then a complete, unqualified, magnificent success.
