A The Lutheran Visitor is published for the building up of the Church and the extension of the Redeemer’s kingdom.

Circus Outrage. The Abbeville Press says; “We learn that the *bill posters’ of GoL C. T. Ames* circus, had so far the hardihood and indecorous disregard of the religious sentiment of the community, as to poet his show bills upon ‘Ebeucsrr church,’ a Methodist church some five miles east of Abbeville.* Legal steps to obtain redress would. have been taken, we learn, but for some defect in the title. These circus men, some of them, neither fear God nor regard man. They arc a sort of gypsies, half-civilized Arabs who verify the curse of Islunael, ‘Their hand is against every man,, and every maq’s baud is against them.’ 9 Bat if the newspapers puff and post these sacriligious vagrants on minds and hearts of the people, where is the peculiar outrage in posting on a church ? A show bill on; a church or in a decent paper looks as well as a church member or a decent person in a circus.—ChrU tain Neighbor. , Amusing and Instructive.—A stingy Churchman was listening to a mis sionary' sermon. , He was nearly deaf, and was accustomed to sit facing the congregation, right uo der the pulpit, with his ear-trum pet directed upwards, towards the preacher. The sermon moved him considerably. At one time lie said to himself: “I’ll give ten dollars;” and again he 8aid,.“Fll give fifteen.” At the close of this appeal, he was very much moved, and thought he would give fifty dollars. Now, the boxes were passed. As they moved along, his charity began to ooze out. Be came down from fifty to twenty, to ten, to five, to zero. He con eluded that he would not give any thing. “YetfZ said he, “this won’t do—I am in a bad fix. My hopes of heaven may be in this question. This covetousness will be my rain.” The boxes were getting nearer and nearer. The crisis was upon him. What should he do 1 The box was now under his chin—all the congre gation were looking. He had been holding his pocket-book in his hand during this soliloquy which was half andible, though in his deafness he did not know that he was heard. In, the agony of the final moment, he took his pocketrbook and laid it in the box, saying tq himself as he did it, “Now squirm, old natur!” This was a victory beyond any that er ever won—a victory over Here is a key to the problem of covetousness. , ‘Old natur” must go under.

Fa* bn tumble 1‘raise*.—An editer nf the Pacific Churchman lately offi ciated for one Sunday at Grace church, Sacramento, hi the absence of the Rector. In the next edition of his i>aper he remarks: “At the risk of being considered impertinent, we can not help making one safgea- tion, and that U, that some one make a raid npon the choir gallery, and burn up clean all the annuo which can txv.fimad there; for, unions our ears greatly deceived na, there is a good deal of the nonsense kind on hand.” Not U<>o,l that the Man should be Alone.—The Earl of Shaftesbury, in sh aking recently of the evils arising from the celibacy of the Komau Gath-' olic clergy, said: “If his holiness the Poj>e had a wife, she wonld not: allow him for an honr to remain in the liclief that he was infallible.” One Point Settled Amyho a*.—Au Irish lady at Troy, teacher in one of the public schools, tortured a class of young girl* by niHltlenly inquiring if they could tell the name of the first woman. One of the little ones, more forward than the rest, advanced to the front of the class, and replied: “Well, we don’t know, Ma’am, what her name was; but, any way, she wasn’t Irish.” Tie Coming Woman Found.—An English woman finding berartf uua We to whip her husband, shouted to her son, who was up stairs in bed: ••Bill! couie down stairs and lick tlii feyther, or else hell be tit’ main ter o’ the whole house.” Mho was evidently in advance of the age «>n the Woman question. Herman Patriotism.—A scene in a commercial city three days after war was declared. A train has juac arrived, anti young men in traveling garb are hastening in all directions from the depot.

A dim light ,is burning iu the Chapel at this u>o*t unaccustomed hour. The deeply- moved voice of the preacher ia heard, interrupted by sobbing and weeping. It is a wedding, bat without other witues.se* than the portico concerned. The bride is without ornament, and the groom is in tho uniform of ths soldier. In the first pew sits an old lady with her head buried iu in r hands, and weeping bitterly. The two seal a bond of eternal union at the moment when his country calls the - Idler from his bride. The eete- mony is finished, and between weep ing mother aud wife, the young man hastens to the depot to join his regi ment, now on tho point of leaving, and there the painful separation mu*t soon be effected. Over fifty of sui scenes occurred ip the course of fi few dpys in Leipsfo, and the clergy held themselves ready at all boom, day .or night, for such calls, th from a score of little preliminaries otherwise usual.

Such an organ, he affirmed, the de nomination did not posoese. He re lated a foci ia regard to a Methodist minister in New Jersey who, winking to make a communication of foots to Methodist people, sent a copy of his communication to the Christian Ad vocate, the church’s own paper, an other to the Methodist, a private concern, and another to * Newark daily. It appeared as desired in the two latter papers, but in the former, the church organ, it never made its appearance. At this point the Rev. Mr., Dobbins stopped the speaker with a call to order.
