SENATE.

MORNING SESSION.

I At 12:53 Ex-Secretary Belknap, with the counsel, Messrs Carpenter, Black and Blair, entered and proceeded to the table provided for them. The Ex-

Secrethry was leaning on the arm of Carpenter, and took a seat between him and Judge Black. Ho appeared very nervous and began reading, but he soon dropped the pamphlet and conversed with the counsel. The managers of iineachment and members of the House appeared at one, but a quartor of an hour had almost elapsed before all were seated, when the minutes of the session of the Senate as tho the court of impeachment, held on the 5th inst. were read in return on the writ served upon the exSecretary, having been rend, and Serghaut-at-Arms having called upon him to answer, Carpenter read and had filed a plea denying the jurisdictian of the Senate to try Belknap on articles of impeachment. Ho was not an oficer of the United Stotes^at the time such articles were "found and presented to the Senate that ho has not since been nor is not now an officer of the United States, but was and is a private citizen of the United States and of the State of Iowa.

Mr. Lord, on the part of the managers asked that time be allowed them until the 19th inst. to consider what replication shall be made to the plea of Iielknap aud it was so ordered, the managers and the counsel for the accused having in reply to the question of the President pros tempore said they had nothing furth er to propose.

THE REPORTS.

As announced in the GAZETTE, yesterday was the day on which Secretary James W. Landrum was to read his Quarterly report. Condensed, it is as follows, and is certainly a report such as might do credit to any school:

First quarterly report of the t-enten-arv Sabbath School for the year 18/6, beginning Jan: 2d, and ending March 26th.

Of this last named number three are officers, ten are teachers, twenty-ono are intermediates, eight are advanced scholars, and twenty belong to the infant class.

A good deal

of generous rivalry has

sprung up in this Sunday school concerning tbe amount of subscriptions oiadd on ^eiviDS days by some of th© larger classes* This was stimulated yesterday (EaBter is the greatest giving day in the

Sunday school of the year)

the offer ®adea week previous by

Superintendent Tennant, He stated that, in order to swell the amount, he would,

himself,

give twice a3 much as

any other individual, and that the ten officers of the school would give twice as much as any class.

In addition to this^ he promised that the class belonging to either the intermediate or infant grades which gave tbe most should control the amount subscribed by itself until tbe next "giving day," and in the mtau time bo the banuer class of the school.

With these things in view, it is reasonable to suppose that there was considerable anxious expectation on the faces of tho younger members, when the Secretary read the roll of he classes. (We give.the incidents under the impression that they are interesting, and not because any member of the school has requested it, since the facts aro the reverse—Editors GAZETTE.] Mrs. Durham, teaching a class of young men, was first called. Their subscription was §20.30. The next was Mrs. B. S. 'Pennant's clsS3 of young ladies. They had not raised so much, but rather than bo baaten, quickly made it up and reported §20.50, Some young nlan.. handed Mrs. Durham $1.00, her report rose to $21:30, which was as quickly topped by the rival class with $22.00, At this point, the young men in Mrs. Durham's class were looking about as much daggers at the pretty young ladies in Mrs, Tennant'aclas? as the young men are in ,• the habit of doing i" the spring time. One of thetn added five dollars to the subscription making it §26.80, and the young ladies wilted.

THE EPISCOPAL CHDROIT.

The anxious fears that possessed so many on Saturday lest Sunday would be a. rainy day, were all dispelled by the bright sky. And the crowds which thronged St. Stephen's Church all day bore witness of tbe increasing interest manifested in. this "Queen, of Festivals" outside bf church.

Tho decorations of the church were very elaborate, iudeed—much more profuse and costly than at any former occasion. The flowers aud floral designs were furnished by Heine!, and does great credit to his eetablishment. We particularly noticed a superb cross a lout three feet in height, made of the rarest exotics, also a most graceful basket fille |with roses w'aii fcurg sas pended from the chandelier. The sanctuary was filled with vases of flowers, tastefully arranged.

The new chandelier and branches from the establishment of Mr. Hoctor, were used for tho first, time. They are vary chaste and churchly in desigu and finish.

The first service being a celebration of the Holy communion was held at lYi o'clock :n the morning, and about fifty at that early hour were at the altar. The second service was at 10K A. M*, and consisted of the usual services of the Episcopal church. The singing was very fine. The choir, consisting of Messrs. Cook and Groverman and Mrs. Gould and Farrington. The oflentery, a duett, Mrs. Gould and Farrington,was particularly fine. Miss Flora Sage presided at the organ with great ability. At 3% P« My there was a public baptism, when ten children received that holy sacrament. In the evening the annual Easter festival of the children, It consisted of the singing of carols and chaunts, and the distribution of prizes and concluded with the giving of Easter eggs* The services were all crowded, and all seemed to enjoy them to the utmost. In the evening Rev. Dunham preached the memorial sei mon, which is herewith appended: "AND THEY CRIEi) WITS A LOtTD VOICE,

SAYING, HOW LONG O LORD, HOLY AND TRUE," Rev. of St. John the Divine chapter vi part of the 10th verse.

As vear after year rolls by, and tho number of those hom we know have gone out from among us is multiplied, tbe most careless must be struck lor cibly with the fact that life is at best very transient. Indeed, however careless some men may be of other things, this is a subject which cannot fail to arrest their attention. They must realize at least,that one thing is certain— they must all die. As they see friend or acquaintance, one after another, borne to the tomb, they are seriously impressed, at least for a time. But it is not singular, for how short a time •ibis impression lasts? So all-absorbing is the world and its affairs, that even as they follow the dead to the grave, they are more engaged with the affairs of life than of death. As they leave the silent "city of the dead," they hurry back to their business or their homes, eager to resume their wonted affairs,

But there is another picture. Seldom is one carried to'his last resting place who is not followed by one or more, to whom the memory of that fresh made grave fades not 60 easily away. In the secret depths of the hea.it, is an aching void, too deep to find utterance. How upon the ears of such grate harshly tbe noise and confusion of the world how unavailing even the kind and sympathetic words of those who really sympathize, and who would assuage their grief. They may indeed be held up and strengthened by the knowledge that they are not separated forever, that the loved one sleeps in Jesus. Still there is left the agony of the orphaned heart, the knowledge that in this life that loved one is lost to them. They may indeed know and realize that their spiritual presence is often near, bnt the voice is silent, the cherished form is gone

"The stately ships go on To their haven uudei the hills, But. oh. fci tbe touch of an ausv.-ericg hand,

And the sonnd of a voice that iH still. In the world there exists a kingdom, visible and easily recognized, if men choose to look, it is rnarstflflled and officered, it is called the Church. Its head is Jesus Christ. Its officers are our Chief pastors and their subordinates. Membership of that kingdom is permitted by Holy Baptism. It is divided and subdivided. But those tiivision.s aro not by chance. ^Divine in its origin, its organization is also divine. It has been established now for nearly two thouaand years. Its priests, once priests, are so forever, after the order of Melchisedec. If once admitted within that sacred fold, death by no means ends that sacred membership, but is only the transit from the church on earth,to the church in Paradise,—the church militant on on earth, to the church expectant in Paradise. It is not death aud defeat, but victory and blessedness. Therefore, wheu as at this time we come to look over the names of those who, during the past year have gone from us, and how, if faithful here on earth, rest in paradise, (whereas, at this time, wa the soul of the crucified Saviour) we regard them as far happier and better than in this probationary state.

We indeed mourn their loss to us and to the church, but deepest sympathy is with those parents who havo laid away to rest in the silent grave the loved one the tender and helpless infant or the confiding and promising child. Our heart is filled

W'th

grief

and sorrow in behalf of him who has lost for this life the loving companion, the sharer of his joys and tho solace of his sorrows. The child bereaved of a parent, although that parent may have lived all the long years allotted to man. To have had that dear one spared so many years, has given only the longer time to have them endeared, and to make the parting more sad.

Since Easter evening, last, from ouy midst, seven iufauts have crossed the river: seven children havo been called by their Heavenly Father to His side, to iLcraase in stau and heavenly wis dom, in the green pastures, ard by tbe still waters of his prevailing iuve. To resign to the Saviour's keeping those "little ones," to the chri-atiau iullOf faith and hope, is not, in one sense, difficult, and goes far to heal the wounds which their loss has caused. But what heart is there who does not most sincerely sympathize with those bereaved parents, and especially those wha within a few hours, gave up both the children whom God had given them.

As the winds and frosts of Autumn were turning to gold and brown the the leaves of the forest, aud withering and searing the flowers in the autumn of life, passed away a faithful servant ol our Lord. When health and strength had permitted she had seldom been absent from the thp «on*ta of tho JLord. ana «Ben advancing age and miirmity confined her at home, and tho cherished liturgy of our church was ber constant companion. Ard at last when she felt that tbe voice of ber.Redeemer was calling her to go up higher, she sought and found strength for the last great trial in the sacred viaticum, the devout reception of the Holy CotHmunion. Grant, oh I blessed and adorable Jesus, that this may al3o be oar blessed privilege. The dark and mys-'-teric^is' ocean, and many weary miles separate her forever from the land of her birth and her graven

Asleep in Jesus far from thee lliy kindred and their erj.ves may he, But still tfc ere is a blessed sleep From whicli noxe ever wake to-^veaj). As childhood is blo&soming into maidenhood or youth, all that is most beautiful and interesting in humanity is seen the generous impulses have not yet been chilled or checked by the cold calculations of interest* Individuality becomes developed. The' child begins to think and do for itself. A now character is taking its position in the world. The painful pleasure of tho parent whohasunweariedly watched and cared for it, ^is, at last, more than rewarded, and tbey see a bright future awaiting their child. At such a moment to have the dread messenger come and carry it from their arms, is, indeed, very sorrowful. Such an event as this has, alas, happened to one o» the families of our parish. Many long months of, weary suffering and weeks of painful suspense, when the spirit seemed hovering on the confines of eternity, was the portion of her, who, but a short time ago, was born to the crave. All that the fondest parents could hope seemed to bo realizad iu ber, but it was the will of God that another and afar better world was to be her home. In the consciousness that all that tenderest love and selfdenying devotion could accomplish was done, there may bo some consolation, but still the vacant place aud the empty chair is there to tell of what was, and what might have been.

Another new-made grave in the city of the dead, the latest burled of those who were oncefof our number, carried to his rest in the silence of the night, tells of a generous and loving boy, who fell a xictitn to that dread disease, which seems amoDg the most te.rible scourges which visits our country. But he was not left to languish alone. God gave him faithful and loving ones to smoothe his pillow and quench his parching thirst. To do it was to risk life, but the life that is willing to iisk such sacrifices, is one which imitates most closely the Divine Master. Among the purified spirits who people the expectant kingdom of God, freed from the cares and temptations of earth, he is at rest.

The record is incomplete if we fail to record the loss of one, who, when the tropical heat of summer, came succumbed to along and painful disease. To him was not only well known the early struggle of our parish, but in its dark days he was its frequent supporter. He had learned to love and most enthusiastically revere the church of God, and in bis death we have lost one of its most devoted friends. Grant unto bim.O Lord, eternal rest, and may light perpetual shine upon him.

Sorrow and bitter tears, we all know full well is the portion of all in this world, and thei days of rejoicing are few compared to those of grief and trouble. Our bopes and aspirations, how seldom a glad fruition. Still there are in the midst of these scenes, occasions when sorrows come which seem almost overwhelming. Can this be more fully illustrated than when, death comes to cliiin its victim almost at the very altar. The light from two dwellings has gone out, when life seemed to promise most of all. Two gentle spirits have parted from the companions of thoir youth aud love. Full'of hope and high expectation, they were called to finish lifets journey when it seemed they were jhst entering upon it. But God's ways are indeed not man's ways. The loving heart has ceased to beat, but the soul who gave it life, has not ceased to live and love. They have only gone

before.

sSSl

Beloved, in conclusion, let nceexhoit you to seek and realize that eternal life, which is found only in the knowedge ol God. It is indeed begun in this world, but it is not here perfected. If it is not learned here, however, in this state of probation-and preparation 'where tv.n it be required.

The Wrong Kind of a Warf. Mr. Bailey, of the Danbury News, presents the following courteous apology: G: W. B. writes us from Luzerne, N. Y., that he has been deceived in a receipt given in the household department of the News. This receipt was for the cure of warts, and prescribed "muriate of ammonia." G. W. B. tried it on a wart, and the result was both unexpected and undesirable. His band began to grow sore, and he fears it will be a month before be can use it with freedom. Tbe wart still remains. G.
