Here ii the place where they preach to the people,
This is tlie Church witb its high airy steeple,
There is the font with [t8 lettered front—
Here is the place where tbey sprinkle lhe people.
Tbis is the Church with its grand old steeple ;
The glad bella chime in the merry June time—
Here is the place where they marry the people.
This is the Church with its towering steeple ;
The sad bells toll for the (light of a soul-
Here is the place where they bury the people.
This is the Church with its dizzy Bteeple ;
Years hath it stood, through the gale and tbe flood,
The light aud the love and tbe joy of the people.
Tbis is the Church with its stately steeple ;
Still will they marry aud stiil will tbey bury
Aud still will tbey sprinkle and preach tfl tbe

Sprinkle and marry aud bury the people
While the years pass on, as in years that are gone,
In the dear old Church with tbe time-worn steeple.
And still in the shade of the ancieut steeple
The dead shall sleep and the living weep,
Till the angel's trump shall arouse the people.
This is the Church with its hoary steeple ;
Oh ! long may it stand, in a godly land,
The joy and the love and the light of the people |

An Hoxrst Growl.—I am sick of politics. I
am sick of torchlight fizzles. I am sick of "the '
Prince." I am sick of men who never talk sense ;
to women. I am sick of gloomy Pharisees, and
wordy, ideallcss sermons, and narrow creeds. I am
sick of lawless Sabbatarians, and female infidels,
and free lovers. I am sick of unhealthy, diseased
hooks, full of mystifications and transcendental
bosh. I am sick ol '-chaste ribbons/' aud "ravishing lace." I am sick,in an age which produced a
Bronte and a Browning, of the prate oi men wbo
assert that every woman should be a perfect housekeeper, and fail to add that every man should be
a perfect carpenter. I am sick of women sell-
styled "literary," who think it a proof of genius
to despise everyday household duties. I am sick
of schools for tbe manufacture of bent spines. I
am sick of parents, the coffins of whose children
are already being made, asking the teacher to add
another branch to tbe already suicidal pile of les
sons. I am sick of overworked, ill-paid operatives. I am sick of seeing tracts distributed where
soup and bread should go. I am sick of noodles
in high places, and intelligence and refinement
sitting in inglorious ease by their owu firesides,
I am sick of the encouragement held out to women by the other sex to remain pretty idiots, followed by long moral essays upon the enormities
ol being such. I am sick ol flummery of nonsense and humbug wid pretensions of every kind.
I am sick of this everlasting scrambling and
crowding, and pushing and jostling, on the edge
ofthe (ive feet of earth wbich is all auy ol us
can have at last, after all our pains.
Now, don't lay this growl to indigestion, fori
never had it, or biliousness, for I (eel as if I were

St. Louis axi> Engitsh Hats.—When the
Prince ot Wales was here, it was generally remarked that some of the mure -jrominent members of his suite wore very seedy hats. This was
especially true of the Duke of Newcastle, and the
inference was drawn that onr British cousins were
not very particular about the artistic elegance of
tbat part oi thier attire. It appears, however, that
all Englismen are not thus indifferent, for we lind
that tbe correspondent the The London Times
wbo traveled with the Prince, waa especially
shoked by the badness of the bats worn in St.
Louis. "If it is true/' says tbis writer, "as I certainly believe it, tbat the worst hats iu the world are
worn in America, so it is equally beyond a doubt
lhat the worst hats in America are worn iu St.
Louis." We dotrt know how far ibis may be true
as regards the people of St. Louis, but we will
stoutly maintain thut there are (ew gentlemen in
New York wbo would like to go about in as bad
a hat as waa worn bee by bis Grace of Newcastle.— JVeto  York  Tribune.

We took occasion to notice favorably, yesterday, the works of tiie Missouri Glass Company,
near Concordia Park, and to advise persons hav
'ut; any curiosity ou tbat subject to go down there
and eee tlie dillerent processes ot glass manufacture. Not only is glass blown and moulded there,
but it is also ground, cut and engraved. When it
leaves lhe blowenr or moulders' bands it is exceedingly brittle, and if suffered to become cold,
would not bear the least strain; iu lact. the
changes of atmospheric temperature would soon
break most of the articles. To prevent this lUcy
are put, while hot, into an aunealing oven, or tcer,
where they are cooled very slowly, Irom one Lo
two days being required to properly anneal lbem.
A lamp which would, previous to annealing, break
by the falling upon it of a small shot, becomes
tough enough, when used as a hammer, to indent
an oak plank, aii experiment which we have seen
repeatedly tried.
What is commonly called ground glass is prepared in two w.iyu. either by grinding tin; surface
witli emery powder or spreading upon it a paste
composed principally ot powdered while glass,
and heating it till this powder melts aud fuses
upon the fabric. The former process is tbe one
made use of to deaden the surface «f globes,
Bhades, Slc. The latter is more convenient when
flat sheets are to be prepared. To imitate cutting
the paste is rubbed off before heating, and wheu
this is done the surface remaius transparent.
Glass is cut by grinding out ihe required figures
upou One stones or emery wheels, aud then polishing the places thus worked. We saw them at the
works the other day making two pair oi large decanters to replace some broken in nn expensive
, French dinner set, where about one hall of the
weight of each one was cut by the wheel. Though
they were massive and elaborate, we did not think
them as handsome as some the Company were
making, Irom designs of their own. Glass to be
cut is often ground first, as iu tbe case cf lamp
shades, making the ground opaque aud the figures
highly polished ; this is an entirely distinct pro
Cess from engraving, where the figure is roughed
ou the original smooth surface. This is an art
whioh has lately been introduced, but already
such improvements have beeu made in the process
that it does not add very much io the cost of the
original. Tbe former method was to cover the
article with a thin coaling ot wax, then etch the
design through the wax and bite it iu with fluoric
ucid. an expensive aud elaborate operation ; now
the design is rapidly engraved upon the glass
with copper tools aud emery ; fiat places like the
leases of a tlower being engraved with small
wheels, aud lines by means of copper points, revolving rapidly, the article being pushed along
under them. A skillful workman will ihus orua
meut a large lamp shade in a short time, aud if he
bas taste will compose his design as the work progresses, without the trouble of any previous drawings-
As wc said before, all these things are done in
St. Louis, aud if, instead of two glass works here,
there were twenty, each one would have more
thauitcculd do. We ouly need enough establishments here so tbat any purchaser could find
his whole assortment here, aud Pittsburg would
no longer supply the valley of the Mississippi- In
auy kind of manufacturing, the item of transportation is tbe only one which does not in the least
enhance the value of the material. It is so much
dead weight with which the goods are to be loaded ; in every article where this can be saved, as iu
the case of glass, we shall urge upon our readers
the importance of those branches of industry to
St. Louis, and we hone our exertions will not be
entirely devoid of good results.—Missouri Republican.

In a case recently tried in England, it was
shown that a package of apothecaries- wares,
shipped for India, contained a bottle of sweet
spirits of nitre, which boil; at very low tempera-
tine and is so explosive and inflammable lhat one
gallon would be sufficient to destroy several men-
of-war Many ships arc no doubt lost by the
spontaneous combustion of chemicals on board
and perhaps the mysterious lire on lhe Lonnanght
occurred from soiree such cause.

BECOMING Impatient.—Tbe Republicans nre becoming a little uneasy lest enough Southern Senators should not resign to give them control ol
that body. Thus far we have ouly Iwo vacancies,
Chestuut and Toombs ; four or live more will be
ueeded to answer tlie purpose. Do the other Be

Two Brotueks is and Two Out.—Waabbarne,
of Wisconsin, and Washburue. of Main, go out of
Cougress at the close ot tbe present term, and two
other brothers go in—both, by a strange coincidence, for tbe same State. Frederick A. Cook-
ling, just elected to Cougress from the Sixth District of New York, is a brother of Roscoe Cotik-
liug, who ia re elected from the Utica district.
Tub Capitol.—The capitol at Washington ie
being burnished up for the winter session of Con
gress, to commence December 3d. In the House
the desks have been restored, taking lhe pluce of
the lixed benches, and tbe appearance is much better. Now, if members will be decent about the
use of them, and not fill up the aisles by attending to frauk their patent oflice reports during the
sessions, they will probably be allowed to remain.
It was because tbe lioor of the House looked more
like the packing room of some publishing establishment than like a legislative body, that the
desks were ordered to be removed before.

Dublin correspondent of the London Times, referring to lhe Admiralty contracts fur the supply tif

Influence of U-niglnt  at nn Orator.
Missouri is the only Stale wherein Senator
Douglas made a speech during the late campaign;
tbat presents any hope ot giving bim an electoral
vote. Itis a noiiceaiile fact, lhat Douglas did not
speak in New Jersey, und that State in lhe only
oue in ibe North which votes &gaia&t Lincoln as
far as heard bom. The Lincoln journals ol New
Jersey jocosely allude to the luct. and regret that
he did not favor ihem with a lew leinarks. The
Quincy Whig has discovend tbe reason why the
Republicans lost Adams county. Illinois. It becomes quite humorous on the subject. Wituees
tin* following:
"Onr Republican friends felt ralber disappoin:
ted on Tuesday nighl, when Ihey lound that they
had lost the city by a small vote, and soon alter;
the county also by a slighlly inereased Democratic
majority. Tbey had all worked hard and faithfully, had watched the polls on Tuesday, and kept
out a great many illegal votes, had stirred u(> Ilia
lukewurm, had made handsome gains in HOiiiti
town-, aud knew the State anil ihe nation wer.e
sore, and yet ihe county went against them! ft
was provoking, decidedly ; aud why was it, wan
the question,
"But •Eureka''—tbey have found it! The case
is now plain as a pike stalf—nothing can be plainer. It was not thai they did not work faithfully;
were not zealous, or Wide Awake; wero not
watchful against importations, or neglected to
bring out thair own men. It was because Douglas
'■passed by on the other side" of this town, and
refused to come heie with his "great principle!"
That is it aud "nothing Bhoiter." He spoke »t
Alton, and straightway Alton wes-redeemed. Ho
spoke iu the shadow of Old Abe's home, on pur-'
pose tbat Springfield should repudiate the "sectional candidate," and Springfield rel'us d to do
any such thing. He spoke nt Chicago, the West-
era "hub of tiie Universe.*" and Chicago increased
her usual majority, as "easy as rolling off a log."
We need not recount what he accomplished in
otber State*—how iu Iowa, where the "great
principle" elevated him so blxb as almost to disable him from standing ou a dry goods box, and
the mnjoriiy was increased from 3,000 lo 10,000—
nor in Ohio, where be lectured to the small boyH
in his shirt sleeves, lbe Agorae went up (rom 13 000"
to -10,000, nor anything about New York, Nev*
England, or ihe sunny South. They are all written in the Book of the Chronicles of his pilgrimage, and he who runneth quite fast can read them.
We lost Adams coniuv, then, because Stephen
did not come here! Thai is it. It was a cruel
slight he put upon his Iriends. Tliey wanted bim
to come bad enough, aa they, with the Herald
man, refused to believe that his missionary labors
were all for our good. Willi the result beforo
them, thev may forgive li'm now, but ice never
can. Ob"! Slepheu! Stephen! son of thy mother—when next thou run nest for President, wo
will give all our funds to thee Ibr one "great principle" speech in thy shirt sleeves from some balcony or barrel, iu ibis thy early home—oor own
dear Quincy."

Ri'imblkun Jubilee.
Si-ringf-elo, III., Nov. 20.—The jubilee at Lincoln's bouse, in honor nf his elevation, is one o'f
the most splendid demonstrations ol the campaign.
Large crowds ol strangers arrived on the cars. A
large Wide Awake procession, after parading
thiough the principal Street*, drew up in front of
Mr. Lincoln's re-ideucc, where an immense crowd
had already assembled. Loud calls being made-
for him, he appeared in the deor, and waa greeted
with long continued cheers. When they at last
ceased, he spoke as follows :
t'lUENos 4.ND Fellow UlTIZBMB : riease excuse
me on this occasion from making a speech. I
thank yon for the kindness and compliment of
Ihis call. I lliauk yon, in common wiih all others who have thought fit. by their votes, to endorse
lhe Republican cause. [Applause.] I rejoice'
with you iu the succeei which has so far attended
ihat cause ; [applause.] yet in all our rejoicings,
let us neither e:;press nor cherish any harsh feelings towards anv citizen who, by his vote, has differed with us. [Loud cheering.] Let us at alf
times remember lhat all American citixena are
brolhersof a common country, and should dwell1
together in the bonds of fraternal feeliug. [Immense applause ] Let me again beg of you to'
accept my thanks, and to excuse me from turther
speaking.
At this time tbe speech called forth the most unbounded enthusiasm, and numerous erica of
■•Good." "That's right," &c, and at iheconilusn IT
Cheers were giveu lor Mr. Lincoln, Mrs, Lincoln,
Gov. Yates, &c.
Tbe crowd then adjourned to the Wigwam,
where Senator Trumbull delivered a short address,*
in which he predicted a restoration ol the better
and purer days of tbe republic, the preservation
of our Iree institution, aud the perpetuity of con
stiiutiona! liberty. .
After Senator Trumbull, speeches were made by
Gov Yates, Hun. Dion Pialt, of Ohio. Judge Palmer, and others. A magnificent display ol fireworks closed the jubilee.
