. jRELIOIOTJS. REST. The Living Ao says: " The following " lines were found under the pillow of a oldier lying dead in a hospital near Port Royal, South Carolina. "We have never, we believe, seen verses more true or touching. They aie a new and perfect expression of world-wide feeling." I lay me down to sleep ; ' With little thought or care , . V Whether waking find . - Me here, or there. " " " ' ' " A bowing, burdened head, That only asks to rest, '" Unquestioning, upon A loving breast. My good right hand forgets Its cunning now; To march the weary march I know not how. (1 V J am nt eager, bold, ' Nor strong all that Is past, I'm ready not to do At last, at last.

My half-day's work is done, And this is all my part; i ve a patient uoa rly patient heart, And grasp his banner still, Though all its blue be dim! These stripes, no less than stars, - - Lead after Him. . PRESBYTERIAN. Service in the Walnut Street Pres"byterian Church at the usual hours to-morrow, 10 o'clock a. m., and 7 o'clock p. m. Sabbath School at 9 o'clock a. m., and a special meeting of the young men of the church at 3 o'clock p. m., in the study. Sermon in the evening to young men. 1 , , . , The Pastor of the Walnut Stree,t Church ha3 just received a' letteT . from one of hia members, a student at j Wabash College, stating that " 1 there Is an unusual revival of religion 9!j there, principally among the students; that there are not more than two stu--? dents, in the whole number " who t ,f hav not. exhibited ( seriousness, and desired to talk about personal religion.' At a meeting just held at the writing of the letter, three students who, of, ' late,' bad thought that they had per0 euaded themselves that , there was no' God, arose and publicly asked an interest in the prayers of God's people v; ,,, In,. New Albany the three Presby-' terian Churches are holding daily h meetings, with preacliing in the evenings. There seems to be a promise of a genuine revival in all of the m. In St. Louis, the death of Reverend Frederick Starr, , Jr., one of " ;- the . most active and ' charitable ti ministers, and pastor of , the North Presbyterian Church, has i awakened a profound sensation' of , sorrow and regret. He died, after a brief illness, in the 41st year of his Yasre,. of nervous fever,, supposed to have been induced by over work and - ' anxiety. His was a noble spirit, leading him not only to preach from-the pulpit, but from house to house. He was a special friend of the poor and oppressed and an ardent patriot. : As an evidence of the attachment of his people to him, they passed a long series of resolutions, one of which was, that . the church would r meet all the expenses of the funeral, 1 and appoint a special committee to accompany the remains to Auburn, N. Y., where three of his children are buried. ' Dr. Aiken, of the First Presbyterian Church (N. S.) of Cleveland, a .Ohio, six years ago, in view of hia increasing years, resigned the charge of r' ihe church, whereupon they voted him an annual appropriation of one thousand dollars a year the remainder of his' life.'' A few days ago some of '""them made' hiufa call, and presented thim with a purse of nearly nine huni dred dollars, as a love token. This -i.ichurch pays its present pastor a salary ' ,oi three thousand five hundred dollars. In consequence of his present I ieeble. health they are supporting a substitute for a time. They have also just completed a Mission Church at an expense of eight thousand dollars, ' .. and supported its missionary preacher. o They are in a prosperous condition. - ' " The liberal devise liberal things, " , and by liberal things do they stand " '. or prosper. 1 A meeting of the Reunion Committees of the Old and New School Presbyterian Churches has been call- . ed to meet in New York City February 20th. Rev. Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, was last week invited, with his wife, to take a sleigh-ride with a deacon. m While they were abroad, they thought the deacon acted very strangely, and wondered why he insisted on keeping them out so long. When they returned home, they found their house newly furnished, from top to bottom, in most tasteful and elegant style.' -NITABIABT. Unitarian worship at the Court House to-morrow. Services morning and evening. ,; V ' ' .i In the evening the fifth lectare will be delivered in the course ' upon

Subject: Ralph Wr.ldo Emerson. A late number of the Liberal CI r 1st lan contains a discourse by Rev O. B. Frotliingham, on the " Sacredncjss of the Body." It is so practical in en sraeter, and at the same time so forcibly and fitly . expressed, ' that ' a few extracts may well occupy a place in this column: ' " The regeneration of the flesh must preeeae the regeneration or the spirit. Many of the demons that torment the poor soul of man are always in the blood. : How much - ot the , sorrow, distress, despondency and , morbid melancholy, which make- our spirits almost wild with anguish, spring from an impeded circulation or tardy difestion, and could be cured far better y the physician than the clergyman? How many severe cases of scepticism, infidelity and atheism, cases which the theologians have tried in vain to ma nacre with arguments, and preach ers have failed to reach wfth warnings, might be conducted sucessluliy by a judicious course of diet, or a few runs in the fields ; by substituting sleep for sermons, and a gymnasium tor vestry-room? - "The soul lives in the flesh, lives all over it, animating in every part. It looks through its eyes, draws through its ears an infinite variety of sounds; uses all its members for its high Durposcs; moves its muscles; thinks with lis ganglia; , ieeis wiin its nerves breathes through its skin ; takes in sustenance irom the action of its membranes, arteries and ducts makes the whole of it, in fact, every tithe and particle, every globule and atom. a temple of worship, a study, laboratory, work -shop, pleasure house, pal ace, observatory, traveling carriage, and home. : . " There is no usefulness without health. How many inestimable days, each with its ,,twentv-iour golden f hours, are lost yearly by some little ailment.or disorder in the blood. How many sweet opportunities are forever unimproved, because. we have , not. at rine moment,' ine pnysicai spring to use them. . y.-l:i -; .'t ., "The clerk., throw a house into confusion by a slip , of the pen: the cashier by, a miscount endangers the reputation ot his bank: the salesman , fails to dispose of the required amount ot goods, and in consequence loses his situation;, the lawyer mislays a paper, fumbles among his briefs and is confused in his argument, and sees his best case going against him; the clergyman sits down to his sermon, on Saturday morning, finds himself . unable to write it, and . hears next week some hint that his parishioners; are complaining . of a; falling-off in the energy -and spirituality of his discourse.' How is all this?, Look into the history of the night before, of the day before, of the preceding days; weeks, or months, ana the secret of all this incapacity, heedlessness, uselessness, will be found in some irregularity of life." METIIODISTIC. , There. will be the usual religious services in the M. E. Churches tomorrow. A correspondent of the Christian Advocate, writing from Indianapolis, says that protracted meetings are be ing held in most of the M. E. Churches of that city, with omens of success. Efforts are being , made to build one or two more Methodist Churches in that city.-' v.- . - Xhe Vincennes Methodist Sunday School have recently added .? $125 worth of books to their library.,' ,, j . David Macy, Esq., Treasurer of Asbur'y University acknowledges the receipt, of $500 in U. S. 7-30s, a dona-i tion from the estate of Henry C. Elder, who recentlV died 'at the residence of his brother-in-law, Rev. B. F." ? Rawlins, of this city. It was a dying 'gift. 3 f Rev. R. C. Webb, of Des Moines, Iowa, says the Methodists of that 1 Stoa mr nanA Tk.r C. fUVl tV , marnu.:n nf ol, tx,a fu JL. uvu4vvi0iu vt tilt i-iv ucuva VUU1V11CD) Something over $30,000 has been contributed to the erection of the Methodist Church Rooms, Philadelphia. The Western Christian Advocate says: The Sunday-school connected with Bloomington station, Indiana Conference, has 430 scholars in attendance; that of Trinity Church, Evansville. 400; and that connected with Wesley Chapel, New Albany, 325. We presume it means enrolled. The St. Louis Advocate says there have been quite a number of revivals and accessions to the Methodist Episcopal Church South in Missouri: Independence, Mo., 25; Piketon, 220; Maysville, 120, since October; Linneus, 50 total, 415. Bishop Kavanough sailed from San Francisco for Oregon October 20th, to organize the Columbia Conference, which was to have been convened October 26th The present visit o the Bishop, says the Ilichmond AU vocate, will be brief, as it is his purpose to return to Oregon next Summer. . , .... ... -" iA Southern Methodist paper says : "k Extensive revivals have prevailed during tl-e past year in our Churches

" Progressive Men,"

in . Georgia. Thousands have been

converted, and the spirit of God's people greatly refreshed. Rev. Mr. Stallard, P. E.. on the Rockport District, reports the revival spirit as spreading over the District, Several hundred have recently joined the Church, and made a profession of religion. Meeting op Presiding Elders. The Presiding Elders of the Indiana Conference met at', Greencastle on Tuesday, the ,15th inst. All were present except Rev. J. M, Green. whose prior engagements detained him" elsewhere. The missionary as sessment on the Conference was ap Sortioned the respective ; districts. Ieasures were adopted, favorable to a reunion of the four Conferences of Indiana next Fall. " A Sunday School Convention was called : pursuant to-a resolution passed at the last session of Conference. Favorable reports of the state ot the work in all parts of the Conference were presented, and a free interchange of views was had upon the various interests of the Church. : The Rev. Aaron Turner reports re ceiving about fifty dollars' worth of valuable presents as "Christmas gifts." A paragraph in the Advocate re ports a revival on the Poseyville Cir cuit at Stewartsville and Beech Grove: Another meeting began at Beech Grove, Saturday before New -Year's, and continued two weeks. At the first meeting only four persons were present, but the brethren went forth in the spirit of Israel's God, and 'he result was that fifty-eight joined the Church on trial. It was a time ot great power. One night there were thirty persons at the altar, and others were back in the congregation crying for mercy. Many were heads or families, and will be a great help to the Church. Some fine young men and women joined ; from the old, grayheaded father and mother down to the little boy and girl : The Loyal Georgian says - that eighty-six. thousand persons, former ly worshipping under the discipline of the Methodist Church, couth, have transferred their membership to the African Methodist Episcopal Church. ;.New Orleans.' Bishop , Simpson has been preaching to large congrega tions at New Orleans, in the Mechanic Institute, where so many were massa cred in the late not. Among the converts are several ',, prominent Catholics. . ,'.r ", .. PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL. , St. Paul's Church Corner First and Chestnut Streets, Rev.' H.

Bishop Armitage will make his home in Milwaukee, wherein soon a Cathedral will doubtless be built, and "the See pinciple" will be fully carried out-',' - , A handsome testimonial to eminent ability and worth was tendered to Rev. AL C. Lightner, by his numerous friends of bL , Jraul s , Church, on Uhristmas ; iay. v. it consisted ot a purse of greenbacks, amounting . to $1,200. Detroit Com. Advertiser. The Bishop of; Alaryland arrived home from his brief visit to Europe, in the steamship Somerset, December 2d. We regret to learn that the Bishop is not sufficiently improved to admit of his undertaking , arduous duty. ; ; The Connecticut CJiurchman says : , The name of the donor of $5,000 to the Episcopal Academy at Cheshire, is Hon. Horatio Nelson Slater, not Henry W. Slater, as has been erroneously printed. Air. Slater is a Baptist gentleman, and his donation shows a liberal appreciation of one of our oldest Church institutions. ' The London Churchman says of Bishop Whitehouse's visit to Oxford: Since the visit of Bishop Coxe to England, few Americans have so intelligently understood the Church of England ; and we look forward to his return to America, as likely to conduce still further to the union between the two most important branches of the great Anglican Communion. The Rev. fldward Alonro, author of " The Dark, River," and other beautiful allegories, is dead. Lafayette, Ind. Rev. John Girwood, of New Bedford, Alassachusetts, has accepted a call to the pastorate ot the First Baptist Church, at La Fayette, Indiana. The Gospel Messenger, concerning the Bishop of Pennsylvania, says: Bishop Stevens continues to improve in health. At a very interesting meeting in which the Bishop of Gibraltar and the Rev. Air. Hogg participated, Bishop Stevens made an address. On the 29th of November i the Bishop was invited by the United

States Consul and the Americans to

preach a Thanksgiving sermon. Though he had to prepare on short notice, he was able to write and preach the discourse. On Sunday following he preached at Cannes on the Italian reformation movement, at the request of the Bishop of Gibraltar. These labors indicate that the health and strength of the , Bishop are improving. Bishop Stevens has writtrn home on the subject of having an assistant. MISCELLANEOUS. Roman Catholic Items.
