From September Hours at Home. . THE FAITHFBt STAB. BT THE I.ATK MISS MART FANNY Gil. I.. The moon in its calm radiance ritles through heaven ; But ever and anon some earth born cloud Seeks to dim its lustre, and to hide Ito glory from the world vain, envious strife. Fruitless as fleeting! for these very mists, Changing from shade to light from light to shade. Though all vanities of blending hues, Serve but to show the power and loveliness Of that celestial influence ; till they pass, And vanish in the distance, leaving air And earth to bask in the clear light of heaven. Almost invisible, amidst the glow of that mild radiance, shines a little starSo near the moon, that every transient cloud That veils the one, bedims the other too; And as it fleets and passes, leaves it there A sharo r in the victory and the Joy. Thus, O my Saviour, may I be with thee, Through cloudy life and bright eternity. RELIGIOUS ITEMS.

UNITARIAN. The Presidency of Antioch College has been accepted by Iter. George W. Hosmer, D. D., pastor of the Unitarian Society in Buffalo. His son, Rev. James K. Hosmer, minister of the church in Deerfield, Massachusetts, is to be associated with him in the faculty as one of the professors. The latter gentleman, it will be remembered, proached for several months in the Unitarian Society of this city. He is the author of two very interesting books, and occupies a prominent position in the church and among the literary men of the country. PRESBYTERIAN. The Missionary Ship. Mr. Paul Curtis has commenced work, at East Boston, on the Missionary vessel, which is to be built by the Sabbath school children, to take the place of the " Morning Star." This is the use to which the Sabbath school of the Walnut Street Church of this city is now appropriating its missionary contributions. The Rev. Dr. Brainerd, whose death was telegraphed on Wednesday, was, for more than twenty years, pastor of the old Pine Street Presbyterian Church, of Philadelphia. He commenced his labors as a Home Missionary in Cincinnati, when the city was quite small. He became very popular as the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, in which he was associated with the Rev. Dr. Beecher. He was also editor of the Christian Herald. He was a leading mind in the Presbyterian Church, and one of the most interesting platform speakers. During the late rebellion, his voice was ever ready to aid in every patriotic movement. He was a warm friend of the late President. The Presbyter, of last week, announces that the Rev. Alex. Sterrit, formerly of this city, is now in Topeka, Kansas, where his friends may address him. The Rev. E. P. Hammond, the great revivalist, and so remarkably successful in leading children to enter upon a religious life, has just embarked for Europe. After spending some time in the Holy Land, he will return and pass the winter in England and Scotland in Evangelistic labors. The Synod of Texas, which held its last meeting in Huntsville, resolved to have nothing to do with the Presbyterian Church North, but to maintain its connection with the Southern General Assembly. We are glad, however, to notice among its proceedings such utterances as the following: The education of the colored peo?le demands our attention and action, 'hey have a peculiar claim upon us, and our own interest corresponds to ' that claim. They have been suddenly, and without any preparation made free. They have no proper apprehension of what freedom involves. Every principle of Christian philanthropy, every principle of self-interest, alike demand that we should assist them. They have relations to us and claims upon us differing from all others living in our midst. It is of the first importance that we act towards them in such a manner as to secure and retain their confidence. This we cannot do unless we manifest a real interest in their welfare. If we stubbornly stand aloof, or wilfully neglect this matter now, others will use the occasion to implant in them the seeds of discord, that may result in a fixed enmity and untold evil. Therefore, Resolved, That we fully recognize the claims of the colored people upon us in the matter of education, and most earnestly urge upon our Presbyteries, that they use all proper means to establish a school or schools in each of their congregations, where there are colored people to justify it, and secure suitable teachers for the same, and assist the colored people in the education of their children. episcopal. Kev. Dr. Huntington, formerly a Unitarian clergyman and a Professor

.hK J, . .itM .aili '!o (UijffeLtf

at Harvard University, has accepted the Bishopric of Maine, to which he was recently elected by the authorities of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He is a profound scholar, and one of the most impressive speakers in the American pulpit. San Francisco has a cathedral in the course of erection. It is 136 feet in length by 63 in breadth, with about one thousand sittings. Rev. Dr. F. J. Clere, of Carlisle, Penn., has been called to Calvary Church, Philadelphia, with a special view to his conducting the services with the deaf mutes. Jay Cooke has contributed $25,000 for the endowment of an additional theological professorship at Kenyon College, and has nominated Rev. Dr. Bronson, rector of the Episcopal Church in Sandusky, Ohio, to fill the chair. The Bishop of London lately consecrated the Church of St. Michael, Shoreditch, when the clergy attended in stoles of various colors, and the Bishop directed them to " remove those ribbons." Among the regular attendants at the Business Men's Prayer Meeting in Cincinnati, every morning, at the First Presbyterian Church, is Hon. Judge Storer, a prominent member of the Episcopal Church. He mingles freely in all the exercises of the meeting, recognizing the Christianity of every man who evidences his faith by his life. Such an example goes far to commend the denomination to which he belongs. Rev. Mr. Barten, pastor of an Episcopal Church in Norfolk, spends a day in each week with Jeff. Davis. Rev. Wm. H. Milburn, the blind preacher, who is supplying an Episcopal pulpit in Chicago, is attracting large audiences by his rare eloquence. Jews. The magnificent Templefacing the Catholic Cathedral, in Cincinnati, was dedicated yesterday afteroon. Great preparations were made for the occasion. The ceremonies were to be extraordinary, and very imposing. The Jewish Synagogue just completed at Berlin, but not yet consecrated, is one of the most gorgeous buildings in Europe. The entire cost of the structure is estimated at $750,000 in gold. It is surmounted by a huge dome of the Oriental type, which can be seen" from every housetop in Berlin. Besides this, there is a minor dome, and both are richly gilded. The interior is broken up into the great central hall of worship, not far from a hundred feet in length, and provided with a thousand chairs for the worshipers. These are of oak, and richly carved and polished. To occupy one of these chairs costs about $500 annually. Catholic Church. The disgraceful scene which attend the funerals and wakes of many Catholic citizens, have stirred up the zeal of the Reverend Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati. On last Sunday morning, during the course of his remarks at the Cathedral, the Archbishop alluded to these unseemly proceedings with great earnestness. The Telepraph winds up a brief article on the subject thus : " Now that the desolating plague is hovering over us, it is a time for earnest and unceasing prayer, and not for exhibitions of disorderly and intemperate action. And, above all, the solemn place of death should be the last place to engage in worldly strife and contentions. For the sake of civilization, and all that religion holds dear, let us have no more of the abhorrent scenes referred to above." The Pope's Temporal Reign. A French Roman Catholic journal, Le Monde, gives expression to its forebodings for the temporal power of the Pope in the following strain : " If Austria succumbs there will be no State depending upon the Vicar of Jesus Christ. All will have abjured the official character of the Catholic faith. There will be numerically Catholic people; the Protestants will dare to call themselves a Protestant nation ; England and Prussia will make a show of their pretended orthodoxy and the mass of the Catholics in France, Spain and Germauy will let fall the throne of Piug. IX. that visble sign of Catholicity of the nations. Remaining faithful to that grand cause, Austria testifies to it by her defeat. If she is immediately vanquished she will close the Catholic cycle of modern peoples. The church and the world will enter upon new struggles, struggles full of obscurity, the conditions of which it is impossible to determine." METnODIST. The Western Christian Advocate of the 22d inst., says: Only seventy days and the great Centenary year of American Methodism will be past. Some of these days must be spent in attending Conference; some of them in moving and

.nll'iii! I'm; '. ixi .Hill's ill!) nj)j.

settling. All of them will be taxed with the usual duties, and liable to the usual interruptions. How brief the time and how much remains to be done! Let the minister examine his record, and see how much he has received per member. Has he reached Bishop Morris' estimate? It may be necessary to retrace the ground. Above all, let no teacher in Israel narrow the benevolence of his people, by giving them only local and selfish views. Nothing will be gained in the end, but much lost by such a course. Remember, only seventy days. And before seventy days are completed we want a time of rejoicing. Now let us to our work, soon we shall come to the shouting. The first must be done, or the latter is impossible. As one of the marked good effects of our Sunday-schools, we notice that of seventy-three probationers admitted to full membership in Roberts Chapel, Methodist Episcopal Church, on last Sabbath, sixtyfour were Sunday-school teachers. Indianapolis Herald. Deputation from Ireland. Rev. Robinson Scott, D.D., Rev. R. Wallace, and W. McArthur, Esq., of London, have been appointee1 a deputation to the Methodist Episcopal Vhurch in the United States, and to the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada, on the occasion of the celebration of Methodism in America. A private dispatch from San Francisco announces the arrival, safe and in good health, of Bishop Kingsley, August 15th. at that port. There are, it is computed, about 4,500,000 scholars in attendance upon Sunday Schools in the United States ; 8,000,000 of youth, of prime Sunday School age, are yet outside. baptist. The Ninth Street Baptist Church, Cincinnati, has concluded to build a new church edifice, at a cost of from $85,000 to $100,000. Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, has been visiting Boston, preaching at the Baptist churches, and receiving generous contributions for the destitute and suffering people at the South. A correspondent of the Witness, (Baptist) whose initials will be recognized as those of a former respected pastor of the Baptist Church of Evansville, has been traveling through Southern Indiana, and among other things, says he only found one church opposed to Sabbath schools, and there the village store was kept open, and at big meetings, near the preacher's stand, ice cream and water-mellons were sold. He says: One gray-headed member of the Church, in a private conversation, deeply regretted that religion and religious people were not what they were in days of yore. When I was a growen up," said he, " we had nothen but the old family Bible to read ; we went to school in logcabins, and larnt our lessons in Webster's spellin' book and the English Reader. We went to meetin' in our homespun clothes. But now the people is all a gitten too roud ; our preachers are a laming to ove money too much. Instid of the people a haven nothen but the Bible to read, they are a maken new books all the time, and a gitten up newfangled meetins they call Sunday Schools. They are a printin' things they call religious newspapers, and then come 'round and want us to take 'em, but they can't draw me into that net." Now, this poor old creature spends his life away back in the dark

ages, and the reason why he is so grieved and pained at the present state of progress among the Churches, is because the light of the present times hurts his eyes, never having been inured to anything but gross darkness.
