John Allen, the wickedest man in New York, his become famous on account of his present religions tendencies. The following is from the N. Y. Tribune, of Sept. 2d: "Mr Diab Sally: Every time I think of you my heart flops up and down like a churn dasher. Sensations of unutterable joy caper over it like young goats over a stable roof, and thrill thro' it like spanish needles through a pair of tow linen trowsers. As a goslin swimmith with delight in a mud paddle, so swim I in a sea of glory. Visions of ecstatic rapture, thieker than the hair of a blacking brush and brighter than the hues of a humming bird's pinions, risit me in my slumber; and borne on their invisible wings, your image stands before me, and I reach out to grasp it, like an old pointer snapping at a blue-bottle fly. When I first beheld your angelic perfections I was bewildered, and my brain whirled round like a bumble bee in a glass tumbler. My eyes stood open like cellar doors in country towns, I lifted up my ears to catch the silvery accents of your voice. My tongue refused to wag, and in silent admiration I drank in the sweet infection of love, as a thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler of hot whisky punch. Since the light of your face fell upon my life, I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself by my boot straps to the top of a.church steeple, Day and night you are my thought. When Aurora, blushing like a bride, rises from her saffron couch; when the jay-bird pipes his tuneful lay in the apple tree by the spring house; when the chanticleer's shrill clarion heralds the coining morn; when the awakened pig ariseth from his bed and goeth for his morning refreshments; when the drowsy beetle wheels his drowning flight at sultry noon-tide, and when the lowing cows come home at milking time, I think of thee: and like a piece of gnm elastic my heart seemed to stretch clean across my bosom. Your hair is like the mane of a sorel horse powdered with gold; and the brass pins skewered through your waterfall fill me with unbounded awe.— Your forehead is smoother than the elbow of an old coat, and whiter than seventeen hundred linen. Your eyes are glorious to behold. In their liquid depths I see legions of little Cupid? battling and fighting like cohorts of ants in old army crackers. When their fire hit me full on my manly breast, it permeated my entire anatomy, like as a load of bird shot would go through a rotten apple. Your nose is from a chunk of Parisian marble, and your mouth puckered with sweetness. Nectar lingers on your lips like honey on a bear's paw, and myriads of unfledged kisses are there ready to fly out and light somewhere like young blue birds jut of the parent nest. Your laugh ring on my oars like the windharp's strains, or the bleat of a stray lamb on the bleak hillside. The dimples on your checks are like bowers in beds of roses, or liko hollows in cakes of home made Allen returned to the city deeply impressed with a sense of bis duty to his true-hearted, faithful relatives, if not to God and decency. His friends in the city followed up the attack. Allen's neighbors got wind of what was going on, and made a dead set at him. They abused him and ridiculed him, called him a Methodist, wanted to know when he was going to join tbe church,and did all they could to keep him from "going over to the enemy," as they called bis meditated abandonment of the danca houso business.

The stranger who passed through Water-st., at noon yesterday must have been impressed with the fact that something unusual was going o» there. While other portions of the street presented their wonted appearance, with halfclad, fat, greasy-looking women, coarse, bloated, beastly men, and neglected children lounging around the many dens for which the street is noted, or wallowing in the mire of the gutters, the sidewalks between Dover and Roosevelt-sts. were occupied by knots of men, porters, sailors, 'longshoremen, bartenders, minglednrith whom were some well-dressed clerks, warehousemen, and disgusting-looking women with sickly children in their arms. John Allen's saloon, or what was formerly his saloon, was literally packed with men representing almost every class in society, and the crowd extended across the sidewalk into the middle of the street At the further side ol the inner room of the estabD lishment were a number of clergymen, among ! whom were the Rev. Dr. Burlingham of St* Louis, the Rev. Mr. Graves, of Boston, Dr. J. M, Ward, of New Jersey, Mr. Van Meter, of the Howard Mission, the Rev. Mr. Reid, of the Macdougal-st. Baptist Church—who conducted the exercises—besides a number of Wall-st bankers and brokers who are in sympathy with the revival movement in Water-st., and who have promised that funds shall not be wanting to carry forward the efforts for the evangelisation oi the Fourth Ward. The exercises were characterised by great earnestness on the part of those who participated, and the intense interest evinced by all who were present. Hardened criminals were moved to tears, and joined in the hymns with a fervor rarely seen except in camp-meetings. TVR. JOHN 0. BECKER, U PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, {FOBMEUY or insEumoct.)

The Democratic party loudly professes its conservatism, and nominates a candidate for Vice-President who declares for a forcible overthrow of the reconstruction already accomplished; an overthrow whish involved the disfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of loyal men, with their utter impoverishment and degradation which vests power exclusively in the disaffected class; an overthrow that cannot be achieved but by the most sanguinary measures which the candidate evidently contemplates- While this is its conservatism, it claims to be peculiarly patriotic, and proves its patriotism by proposing the boldest national dishonor, a measure ardently supported by every Rebel in the land, because the last hope of the Rebellion is to disgrace tbe people whom it could not defeat.TXTYOMING INSURANCE CO., V Y WILKES-BARRE, PENNA.

And upon a platform of repudiation, and of a summary overthrow by the sword of tho new State Governments at the South, tho Democratic Convention, partly composed of the most noted and persistent Rebels, has placed a candidate for President, who declared when the war began that he would let the Union go rather than Slavery, and that the success of tho Government would be equally revolutionary with that of Secession, and who, now that his words havo been discredited, and his expectations disappointed, makes statements in regard to tho National debt and taxation which the books of the Treasury Department prove to bo untrue, and these statements he makes in the hope of persuading the country that the only promise of peace lies in the policy which the Convention over which he presided in 1S64 recommended—surrender to Rebels.

The ancient Greoks supposed it to be a solid substance, in which the sun, moon, and stars were set like diamonds in a ring. Tho upper surface was laid with gold—the pavement of tho gods. In pagan countries somewhat similar notions still prevail. A converted heathen said to hi3 missionary teacher that he thought the sun, moon, and stars were holes in the solid sky, through which came streaming down to the earth the brightness and glory of the heavenly world. But, in reality, the sky is nothing more than the air we breathe. Instead of the solid arch, towering so many thousands of miles above us whero our childish fancy placed it, the blue sky is noth ing but the color of the ocean of air, in which wo live and move. And, as to its distance from us, it is all within three or four miles. Por travelers, who go up upon high mountain-tops, tell us that they no longer see any blue sky above them there, where the air is so ;thin that they pant for breath, but only the blackness of empty space.

JAMES SEARLE, Among those who made addresses was t gentleman who related in a very touching manner the incidents of his conversion several years ago, while a member of a theatrical company in this city. While acting his part in the drama entitled " Pauline," he was led to see how sinful he was, and to cry out, " Lord bC5 merciful to me, a sinner." He left the stage, he said, and walked down Broadway to Grand st., that same prayer constantly repeating itself in his mind, as ho mingled with the gay crowds that thronged the street. On reaching home he was about to enter his room quietly, that he might not disturb his mother; but as he passed her door, he heard her voice, and listening found that she was engaged in a fervent prayer for his salvation. It would be impossible to describe the meeting of mother and son, the earnest prayers which they together addressed to GodD or the joy that filled their hearts when the young man heard the voice, "Thy sins, which were many, are forgiven." Mr. Allen said that though he had made up his mind to lead a better life, he had not yet made a public profession of faith, or decided to join any church. It would be his wish to remain in obscurity but as his name had become somewhat well known and be ihould be called on to speak to the people* he should talk to them as though they were children. He ielt that he had very much to learn in this new life on which he had set out. He was listened to throughout with marked attention. After addreeaee and prayers by several other gentlemen the Rev. Matthew Hale Smith imade the closing remarks, saying that the people residing in that vicinity looked upon this movement with distrust and considered the-Christian gentlemen who had come there to pray as their enemies. In this Mr. Smith was mistaken, as he himself would learn had he mingled with the crowd, as did onr reporter, and noted the expressions that were dropped by those who thronged the house and the street in that vicinity.

Does any American citizen whose mind is still open to argument and reflection, honestly suppose that the spirit ol Wade Hampton is more the spirit of peace and Union than that of Gen. Grant? Or that the career and the declarations of Frank Blair promise wiser counsels than those of Schuyler Colfax ? Yet this is the issue which the Democratic party offers to the country. It loudly demands repudiation, disgrace and anarchy. It fiercely threatens wpr of circumstances favor. It deploys In the open field, and flaunts its black flags in the sunlight. May God give the country grace tJ-lift its eyes' to behold the bloody years from 8umter to Appomattox, to reflect who and what made those years, then to move forward to bring the Rebellion at the polls, as it has already brought it in the field to "unconditional surrender." , LARGE AND EXTENSIVE TANNERY, in connection with the Mills, at which he is constant ly engaged in the manufacture of all kinds of Leather.

We would not advise him to hedge at all, but if ho wants to make his betting as nearly a sure thing as possible, we should advise him after laying out his five thousand on Grant, to invest about ono hundred in buying Confederate bonds.

XI AMOS 8TBOH Desires to Inform his old customers and the public in general that he has fitted up a commodious and convenient shop for the making and painting of MAIN STREET, PITTSTON, PA. in a certain heighborhood there lived a very pious old preacher, who prided himself on the possession of a pet poll-parrot. Some mischievous boys of the place had taught the parrot to swear, much to the chagrin of the old gentleman. On entering the house one day he was much grieved to hear his pet swearing with a will at the old cat. This was more than he could stand, and to punish her he took tho blasphemous bird from her cage perch and repeatedly plunged her into a tub of water that was standing near. When poll was released from her master's grasp, she crawled under the stove to dry her feathers. Shortly after a female found a chicken nearly drowned in a slop-bucket, and taking it from the bucket, she put it under the stove to dry also. The parrot quietly surveyed the new comer for a moment, and then comically turning up one eye, sagely chattered the following words as plainly as she could, " You been saying dam, too, have you?" The preacher was so pleased with the quaintness of Poll's remark that he never afterwards punished her for swearing.

You could not come in here and sit down like you could in other dance houses; you must either drink, dance, or plank down the money in some way.

Croasing the Sierras from California, the oharacter of the scenery and mountains suddenly changes. The forests,says a correspondent, disappear as if by magic, and grass gives way to sage brush. Tho landscape wears a sallow, unwholesome look, as if a sudden blast had blown from tho Valley of Death aud blighted and withered everything. No more soft verdure, no more noble pines, no more health-inspiring breezes. Some of the geological phenomena of the valley are strange beyond description. The rocks have the appearance of masses of lava thrown up out of the earth. In some instances they rise in columnated masses hundreds of feet high, shutting out the viow and contracting the valley to a gorge a few hundred yards wide. Again they recede in gentle slopes, until tho valley broadens into an undulating E-to on the Strikb.—The men of all the collieries in tho Shamokin regon have gone to work on the ten hour system, at an advance of 10 per cent, on the old wages.

The battle of life, in by far the greater number of cases, must necessarily be fought up hill; and to win it, without a struggle, is perhaps to win it without honor.

Difficulties may intimidate the weak, but they act only as a stimulus to a man of pluck and resolution.
