tTjjt ffatlji Iprrss. City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. AUSUBTA. OA.I SUNDAY MORNING..... An*. 6^18«» late at Church. We 4o not set ourselves up as censors of the public manners, though whatever affects the people, as a whole or part, commands-bar attention. What follows, then, is not esteemed inappropriate,! neither is it directed against any partic ular individual. Let those wear the cap whom it fits: There is a custom among church going people which deserves rebuke, and should be at once abandoned by all who indulge in it. It is most trying to a minister's patience, and tends to ex haust his Sabbath supply of grace moro rapidly than any other habit—unless, in deed, it be deliberate sleepiness before his sermon is fairly begun. Reference is had to the fashionable custom of going late to church. It does seem, from the manner in which some persons liDger at their toilet and put on their outward adornment, that the House of God is esteemed as nothing more than a place of aisle-parade; and the later a rustling perfumed silken butterfly of an individual can flutter up to the pew, the finer the effect. Os course, by going late to church more eyes can be at tracted, more ado excited in circling into the pew, more nostrils delighted with the aroma ot fashion, more comments called forth in thought or whisper concerning one’s appearance, and all that sort of thing. When going late to church one is likely to have the advantage of the music to march by down the aisle; or, if the Scriptures are being read, it must be such a relief to those who are early, to have their thoughts diverted from the dry lessons of the Bible to the flirting fancies of fashion. And theu the minister can read the Scriptures more impressively when he is not stared at and listened to by a crowd already anticipating what solemn truths he is about to utter. To be sure, all these trifling preliminaries, such as in vocation, praise, prayer, etc., are merely to pass the time away, while folks are comnigjji. To be at church in time for the sermon i3 compliment enough to the minister ; and then to drowse under the delivery of it is only an added compli ment, to show the minister that there is not the least suspicion of heresy in his discourses that he should need listening to. Then, if there should be a score or two of unsophisticated strangers strag gling in a few minutes before the hour of worship, and finding empty pews, should conclude there is to be no ser vice, or no great shakes of a preacher anyhow, to have empty pews so near the appointed hour, and therefore turn dis gusted away from the church door and report the barrenness of t hings, nobody will suffer but the pastor, and so going late to church does not imperil any par cels of pewed piety to rear places. Phil. Sheridax Against Hoxorino Bravery.—The recent order of Phil. Sheridan forbidding the people, iu his military district, the privilege of paying honors to their fallen heroes, and also forbidding the organization of benevo lent societies, the members whereof have retaiued the name of their old organiza tions, in which they were so much hon ored for their gallantry, has had the ef fect of drawing the following from the pen of the Louisville Journal's editor: We admire General Sheridan, but we don’t admire his edict as to the sort of inscriptions that may be put upon the grave stones or tomb stones of the Con federate dead in New Orleans and throughout his military district. Surely our Government must be very weak if it is afraid of any tributes that affection may place upon the marble that rises over the dust of mouldering skeletons. The Democrat• waxeth even more bold and speaketh after this manner: It is an arbitrary, unwarrantable ful mination from an unauthorized, unwar rantable power, interfering, directly and violently, with the freedom of the citi zen. We don’t care if it could claim to be the most just and proper in the world; so long as it is the arbitrary dic tation of a military commander, it is sub versive of Republican freedom, and only to be neglected or resisted. We object to it as the act of a usurping military satrap, who is endeavoring to force his own ideas of taste or propriety upon a free people. French and Music Lessons.
