C.—During this week, the most solemn seosou of the church year, services were held on alternate days in the two Kuglish Lutheran cliarches —both congregations worshiping to gether. On Thursday, ou account of the dedication of the Germau Lutheran church, iu which the pas tors and members of the English churches participated, the services were suspended. On “Good Friday” the three churches were o|teued for worship. This is as it ought to be; aud we hope that uext year the three churches will uuitc in keeping “Pas sion week.* There are but few tier- mans iu Charleston who are uuable to worship with their English -*penk : ing brethren. the lion had poe trull wcjliand reward plansc. a clscwhe preached^ on t^e^l us sfcift, snc<*es^fi Virginia, was: Wit a -stnndaiil bearer in taajti He Christ!

They will be apt longiugly and lovingly to look over the border, and even in old age regret that they did not remain in the North.

The time-honored custom of beau tifying aud adorning the temple of God at the joyous season of Easter with the floral tributes of spring, was most appropriately oliserved on yesterday at this chnrcb. The fair daughters of the congregation ap plied themselves to the pleasant task with their accustomed zeal aud energy, and although a backward season gave but a scanty supply of flowers, yet these, under the man ipulations of their skillfol hands, served to put a new beauty iu tbe appearance of the old chnrcb. In the centre of the main vesti bule stood an elegant cross, beantL fully proportioned and large in size, rising from a mound thickly covered with moss. The cross itself was composed also of moss, and bore upon ita arms numbers of beautiful wreaths of flowers. A glance at the interior of the Chnrch displayed a sight most gratifying to tbe eye. Tbe classic old pulpit was tastily adorned with festoons of evergreen, whilst its base was literally hidden in the fragrant abundance of two huge pyramids of flowers, rare aud lovely.
