FOR THE HERALD. a IRROADBRIM'S NEW YORK a LETTER. t No. 59. p High Church and Low Church-Peter Dwy- a er's Mission-Dives and Lazarus--Another t Defalcation-The Wonderful Psycho meters-The Brocho Ponies and Per- t forming Dogs--Odds and Ends. r b Not a stone's throw from the t spot where Stewart's great marble a dry goods palace frowns down on t the pedestrians of Broadway, is a - rich and costly Gothic pile known as the church of Grace. None but o the saints who go clothed in purple o and fine linen ever dare to cross its t, sacred threshold, for in it there fi is no place for the poor. The He- t, brew, who of old wandered house- o less through the streets of Jerusalem p calling sinners to repentance, and h telling the glories of the new dis- e pensation, would have turned away a from its gates, for if he did not, the t burly sexton whose ponderous form t usually blockades the door, would o have given him in charge of the n police. The inside is glorious, 8 mellowed with golden light, re- t] flected through windows of rare o beauty, gorgeous with miracles of t1 art. The saints who suffered for f< the cause of Christ are here rejoicing a in their new canonization, stirring v to emulation the sluggish hearts of C the worshippers. The evidences of a wealth are everywhere, from the t: organ, whose grand diapason swells a its thunder of Heavenly harmony, t] to the rich velvet ]inings of the e pews, where the wife and daughters i of Dives sit, bedecked from the t looms of India and the mines of t Golconda, outshining in their costly b trappings even Solomon in all his s: glory. Everything is in keeping. v The very air you breathe is laden 2 with the odor of spices and rare e perfumes, calling up visions of Sam arcand and the distant islands of t the sea. The priests who minister a at the alter are not of common clay. e The odor of sanctity encircles them b like a cloud ; religion to them is an b abstract sacred classic, only to be b expounded by the chartered apostles t1 of the schools. The singers were i] trained in far- off lands, and the y homaely strains il "That once did sweet in Zion glide." s never shock the ears of the saints, t. whose musical culture is enriched g by gems from "La Fille de Madame Argot," or the beauties of the Op- e era Bouffe. This is the temple I where Croesus asks forgiveness for 3 his sins, if he have any-where the r rich and the good (for all the rich 'I are always good) come to see and a to be seen. Grand equipages line e the highway adjacent to the church, r and John and William and Thomas b sit and freeze in the wintry air, t while their masters and mistresses, ii with becoming humility, listen to y the teachings of him who said, I "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for t they shall see God." I said in a e former letter that a city is full of I sharp contrasts. At a little engine- f house on Barrow street another v Apostle is at labor. The guide of I his faith is the same that they use c in the church of Grace. The mas c ter in whose cause he labors is that t same outcast man of Galilee, and ( the final reward he looks for is the r same as that whose expectancy I crowns these gilded saints. The I church in which he toils is old and I crumbling to ruin. Years ago roys- t tering sinners made its old rafters t ring with songs of wine and wassail. I No words of benediction ever conse- c crated it to heavenly uses, for it was 3 the abode of sinners then, and it is t the abode of sinners still. Yes sinners,c al sained and foul and loathsome, s :ome here night after night to hear xpounded, by rude, untutored lips, he story of suffering and salvation d Him who died for just such vicked ones as they. This is Peter )vyer's mission-a mission for the efuse of the slums. The repentant hief can here find one who like imself, has worn the convict's garb nd chain; and the harlot, spotted vith moral leprosy and sin, and al aost loathsome to the touch, can ere find one like herself, clinging o the foot of the cross, expecting o receive, like the Magdalene of ld, the mercy which the world .enies. I suppose we may call these high nd low churches-the one so high nd the other so low that it seems ey can never come together. I ave often asked myself if there are .ot two heavens. It cannot be ossible that these Faints in velvets nd gold can ever In this world or e next find an abiding place with bese sinners in homespun and ags. Poor Peter Dwyer finds it ard to pay the rent of his little ample, the plastering of which is 11 cracked and seamed, and ready ) tumble about the heads of the rorshipping congregation. Are the souls of these repentant utcasts of less value in the sight f God than those whose names are : be found swelling church bene. tctions, and foremost in the gifts > charitable associations. Will any ne help Peter Dwyer ? Will some erson who reads this extend the and of fellowship to this rude but %rnest. apostle? He may not be ble to expound the mysteries of ie Gnostics, to unravel the lore of e Sanscrit, or detect the crudities f the Koran, but to untutored sin ers like himself, floundering in the lough of Despond, or battling arough the Valley of the Shadow f Death, he can speak in tones as irilling as those which thundered >rth from the Acropolis when Paul mazed the hearts of the Athenians 1th the wonders of the unknown rod. Will some of the saints who nually gather in Exeter Hall or be Tremont Temple, or perchance t the Cooper Institute, to consider de wants of the heathen, cast an ye on these famishing sinners, per hing for gospel bread. No need : cross the ocean to seek for souls a save, for they are around us ere by thousands, struggling, inking, dying, and dying the death hich some of the sentinels on ion's hill tell us shall never, never nd. Notwithstanding the mild winter, bere has been much of suffering nd sorrow. The comfortable mer hant and mechanic, wrapped in is double Ulster and hastening to is home, warmed with Baltimore eaters and comfortable with all be applicances of our modern civ ization, is apt to forget that a poor roman or a wretched child,shivering 2 calico and rags, may possibly uffer from cold even when the bermometer fails to mark ten de rees below zero. "Beware of the vidders," said the der Samnivel Weller ; and if James orimer Graham had profited by fr. Weller's experience he would ot now have been brought to grief. o those of your readers who are t all acquainted with the creme de la reme of our Knickerbockers, I need .ot say that James Lorimer Gra am represents the highest seat in he Sanihedrin. As an old-time pol bician he wvas a success ; his house as the center of social grace and tospitality, and the dinners he gave o wandering dukes and vagabond ounts were the envy of old Philip lone, who imported a French cook or the purpose of getting even rith the Grahams. Daniel Webster, enry Clay, Kossuth, and even the Lefunct Emperor of the French, at ifferent times have toasted their oes underneath his mahogany. The rrand Sachems of Tammany were t less welcome than the Whigs, >ut that was before Sampson had >een shorn of his locks, or Delilah Lad corrupted his heart. Well, his ancient respectability under ook the management of a widow's ortune, and as long as the divi Lends came in regularly, everything vas lovely ; biut in the mutations of hese evil times, when the dollar of >ur daddies requires an act of Con n.ess to maei a legal-tnder, the dividends fail to come, and a re cent investigation showed nearly seventy thousand dollars had van ished into thin air. Mr. Gzaham says he- invested for the widow to the best of his ability, and the widow says that he had mighty lit tle ability to invest; all she knows is that her money is gone, and it now &ppears that Graham knew that ,. ong time before the widow. Mrs. EcCall tried to get Mr. Gra ham put in jail, on an order of ar rest for swindling, but merciful friends came at once to the rescue, and for the time at least saved him from a felon's cell. So many proud heads have gone into the basket during the past year- that it. is scarcely safe to prognosticate what may be Mr. Graham's future fate, but it may not be amiss to tell all the old codgers out your way to "bevare of the vidders." We are now rejoicing in the latest, of scientific discoveries-the won derful Psychometer. With this marvelous instrument you can look right into a person's brain (if he have any), and you can tell what he is going to think about. Mind reading is no longer the secret of showmen and traveling mounte banks. The shop-girl who sells you a yard of tape or a paper of pins, can look in your eye and with a Psychometer in her inside pocket can tell exactly how much you are going to beat her down. We had a private exhibition at a fashionable boarding-house on Wednesday last, but everybody knew so much about everybody else that it produced such disturbance in the company that two suits for divorce are now pending; there were five free fights coming down-stairs, and a couple of actions for personal damage, are the results of the evenings enter tainment. My wife has a lively curiosity to see how the old thing works, but I mildly suggested that perhaps it might explode, and there the matter rests for the present. Our savans are in grief, for we lose the Castellani collection, which, for the last year, has been an un qualified source of delight to all of our intelligent citizens. It will be long before we shall again have an opportunity of studying such gems of art, bringing back the most hallowed memories of the~ world's immortal dead. I was in hopes that perhaps Judge Hilton, Mr. Stewart's lucky heir, would have cast some bread upon the water, but I leaned upon a broken reed. I had a faint, suspicion that, may be, Mr. Astor would respond. Per haps his judgment is more pro found on Schweitzer Kase than Archeolgy, and this accounts for his silence at the present interest ing juncture. Those of us who visit London may perhaps have the pleasure of looking at them in the British Museum, unless Kaiser Wilhelm or the Khedive of Egypt should secure them for ther na tional collections. The first man that I hear talking about public spirit in New York, I will send the fool-killer in search of, and if he does not brain him on the spot, I'll have him deposed from his office. You know it used to be consid ered as rather uncomplimentary to call a raian after that gentle animal which assisted Joseph in his fligh t into Egypt. I don't know that the objection is entirely done away with yet, but if any man wants to call me a horse, I should rather esteem it a compliment. I saw some horses up at the Aquarium that could do everything but talk,-such feats as never were -performed by any equine before. And as for dogs, why the next man who calls me a puppy, I shall think is trying to compliment me ; for these dogs are able to do, in these hard times, that which many a two-legged pup py is not, and that is, to earn their own living. The second murder within a month at Owney Geoghegan's rum hole, 103 Bowery. It is true that the murdered men are just of the kind that save us the expense of a gallows, but I can't say that I ad mire this means of putting them out of the way. If we could only get up a sort of general prize-fight, and induce them to keep at it till, like the Kilkenny cats, there should be nothing left of them, it would be n nt+oid blesing to society. But' now they endanger honest citizens with their miscellaneous shooting, I and, as there are very few of us left, so it behooves society to be careful. Three murders, four suicides, and a I a couple of disastrous fires, have -i failed to make us comfortable; in I fact i begin to doubt if there is I such a thing as truly unqualified I happiness. Hoping that you, Mr. I Editor, and your readers, including i myself, may each get a share of I what little is stirring, I am, Yours truly, BROADBRIM. 1 THE FENCE LAW. t f The following is the text af the t new Fence Law. It has passed i both houses of the Legislature: J A Bill to Amend an Act entitled "An Act to Authorize the Coun ty Commissioners to Submit to E the Qualified Electors of their e Several Counties a Proposition . to Alter the Fence Laws and to Provide for Effectuating the f Same," Approved June 7, 1877. ] Be it enacted by the Senate and I House of Representatives of the k State of South Carolina, now met I and sitting in General Assembly, t and by the authority of the same: r SEcTION 1. That in the several i Counties and townships of this t State where the electors have al- F ready or shall hereafter vote to 1 adopt the provisions of the above ( entitled Act, commonly known as i the fence law, the boundary lines i of the lands of the inhabitants within the . territory so adopting the same shall be deemed and taken to be a lawful enclosure 1 thereof; and the owner or mana ger of any horse, mule, ass, genet swine, sheep, goat or neat cattle of any description who shall will fully, knowingly and unlawfully or negligently permit the said animals, or any of them, to go up on the lands of any owner or oc cupier situate in any such county or township shall be deemed guil ty of a misdemeanor, and, on con viction in any Court having com petent jurisdiction, shall be fined in a sum not exceeding thirty dol lars, or imprisoned for not more than thirty days, or both in the discretion of the Court.

SEC. 3. That in the Counties of Anderson and Chester, where a 1 majority of the townships have adopted or shall hefeafter adopt the provisions of the fence law, it shall be lawful for the county i Commissioners to erect fences on i the county lines, instead of on the lines of townships, and for that purpose they are invested with all 1 the powers conferred on them in a cases where the entire county shall have adopted the said fence law. SEC. 4. That it shall be the df the county Commissioners to erect substantial and con venient gates in said fence at the crossing of all public high ways and neighborhood roads, and when the inhabitants, or any of them, shall desire a crossing on their own lands they shall be per mitted to erect and keep up such gates at their own expense ; and any person who shall willfully and unlawfully leave open any of the said gates or do any willful damage to the gates or fences erected for the purposes aforesaid j shall he deemed guilty of a misde meanor, and: on conviction in any Court having competent jurisdic tin, sal be fined in a sum not i .xceeding twenty dollars or im )risoned not more than. twenty lays.

Hamp )n, in response to a toast, made ie following remarks: My friends of the Washington ight Infantry: This is the see. id occasion to-day that I have id the pleasure of meeting men ho were my comrades during the ai. I have seen the men of the ashington Artillery and now I eet those of the first company iat volunteered for the Hampton egion, the men who were on the ght of that legi->n; who under Dnner went always nearest the tshing of the guns, and out of )6 came out of the war with but vo men who were not killed or ounded. I remember all these tings: I remember all the in denta connected with the legion, id I tell you that -you and all ho served with me are bound to e by ties which death may, but >thing else can ever sever. I ve had the good fortune to lead any of you in battle. It has len, perhaps, my better fortune lead you during this-last politi 6 canvass. I take no credit to yself, for I was. but the exponent the feelings, the voice and the itire heart of the people of South arolina. But I can say this to :u, young men of South Caro ca, that I declared every feeling, ish and thought to the safety, Dnor and prosperity of South arolina. You cannot know, you in never know, the sacrifices I ade in that canvass; but, had iey been tenfold greater-bad iey involved even my life-the ttisfaction I have felt since in ,eing a free people once more up a the soil of my old mother, and irecognizlng that in the hearts fthe people of South Carolina.l ave a warm place, would afford te ample compensation for all that. have had to endure. [Applase.] My time is almost out. Let me my to you that the fight is not ver yet. That this next election pill be the crisis in the history of Ais State. You havte it in'your ands to say whether that will erpetuate the prosperity of the tate: whether the power will smain in your hands, or'whe 1er it will be lost. You have sen that by doing justice to all, scognizing the rights of all cit ens of South Carolina, you can irry the State. If you go on in sat line you will carry it again, at I warn you if you depart from iat straight and narrow road, if ou allow the extreme men ot his State to take possession of it, Lst as sure as tbe sun will rise it ill rise upon your failure. I )eak as a Carolinian to Caro oians. I ask you to think of iese things. You, the young men South Carolina, into whose ands her destinies will soon be laced, who -are to take our places, 'e the ones to work upon this ne. You have a glorious destiny afore you. By your conduct in se last election you have stamped :>urselves heroes. You have iown a courage higher than the ighest courage in facing the can an's mouth-that you are worthy Sthe freedom you can govern ourselves ; that you have achiev i. Now, let. me adjure you, to yon in the same line and devote yarselves to your State. Think nothing but the interest of that ~ate. Work for it, dedicate your lves to it, and though I1 may not e vt-it may be I will have ~ssed off the scene-but your iildren and my children willirise to call you blessed. I did not intend to say aword -night, but there are themes hich, when they are touched, -ouse the emotions of my heart, d one of those themes is that iast just given-South Caro na. A pious ruler is a great blessing any. people. Having turned over a new leaf; sep it clean. Christianity carries blessings herever it goes. Fait.h is necessary to victory.
