To- OUn COUNTRY SunscnrIBEns.Our good patrons in the country will greatly oblige us m by remitting the amount of their bills. As they are aware, the terms are four dollars per year, in dirance. We will enclose our receipted bill on the reception of the money. QAnTERi TESSEs.--The autumn Quarter Tenses, which always occur on the third week of September, will commenee on Wednesday next, 16th, Friday, 18th, and Saturday, 19th. These are days of fast and abstinence for all Catholics, except when exempt for sufficient cause. LOGIC FOR YOUNG LADIES.-NOW that the position of females in society is claim ing wide-spread attention, everything that qualifies her to discharge the duties of her sphere-whethler that be the old or new one -should receive due consideration. With out endorsing the extreme views of those who would assign woman a position that unsexes, and makes her anything but a fitting companion for man, we still think that there has been great remissness in many points relating to her education. The splendid plea of Bishop Dupanloup, published in the leading languages of Eu rope, has done much in concentrating pub lic.attention on this subject, and placing it high in the code governing Christian com munities. The work named at the head of this par agraph is a translation from the French of Victor Doublet, sa is for sale by PI. I. Gogarty, 151 Camp street. - PAROCHIAL SgnCooLs.-These institutions have been assuming great importance in this comfulnity of late years. They are favorites with parents, because Catholic instruction and training is secured to their children without their having to send them as boarders to some, remote institution. They are of the safest character as regards the care of the children themselves, for the very good reason that they are under the immediate eye of the pastor, whose zeal is guaranteed by the labor and resgonsibiity he must undergo to sustain his school. They are great favorites with the pastor, too, for they are his greatest auxiliary in .the religious instruction of his young flock, and id thoroughly piceparing them for the proper reception of the sacraments. Some of our readers in the Third District may scarcely be aware of the excellent establishment of this kind which Rev. C. Moynihan has founded in connection with his parish Church of St. Peter. If they will take the trouble to pass that way at. some spare moment, they can soon satisfy themselves of the succesofal working of the institution. They will see hundreds of bright, intelligent children, rapidly pro gressing in mind and manner under the watchful energy of Mr. Jovian, superin tendent, aided by a full corps of most effiient assistants - principally ladies. They will be surprised to find that their children, 'especially the younger ones, might progress as rapidly here as at some other school costing three times as much in its terms, and perhaps not so couverient in many respects. It will be seen by reference to our advertising columns that not only the English branches are taught, but-also French and music. SECIAL NorlTcv.-The Young Men's Catho lie Union and Library Assoeiation are requested to attend a called meeting at the room of the St. Patrick'sFriend's Society, on Tuesday, 8ep. tember 15th, at 7 o'clock, P.

Se many threats have bien, made of burning the city, tfliatimid. 6rsos 'cannot treat them as wholly uqmeaning. The pro. gramme, as announced in the State Legis. lature and the State "Official Journal," it to reduce the city'to ashes in case of a ript The extent of the necessary riot is.not pre scribed. Without more specific instructiona from"t h-orlT-de s-bantlia tlioe publicly pro muigated so far, the mob of half-crazed negroes might think themselves under orders to commence the workJn case of a casual fight between two drunken men; or, a few adventurers, having no interest at stake, and moved with that admiration for the sublime which made Nero long t4q Rome in flames, might get up a fusilas~ fire arms with blank cartridge, and forth with the- ten thousand torches would be lighted and applied. It is useless to say that such a proceeding would not be permitted by the party leaders because it would react against them at the North. Their history shows that the most overwhelming proof would be forthcoming to convince the Northern public that the whites were the aggressors, and brought the ruin on themselves. One of our cotemporaries thinks that the leaders referred to would not permit things to go so far as the actual destruction of the goose that lays their golden eggs; but when the cacklings of that goose are about to wake up the nation to its danger, there is no telling what they might do. Besides, though these leaders might not intend a literal execution of their threat, rd r could they guide the storm of brutal passion once let loose in a horde of semi savages, drunken and seething with excite nent It is equally useless to argue with such nen on the grounds ofjustice and humanity. oun might paint the scene-women crazed with terror or stupefied with despair; :hildren lost in the whirl of affrighted hu nanity and vainly crying for their mothers; rantic efforts to save some little property rom the devouring element; infirm and ick people abandoned in the confusion md left to the flames; hospitals emptying heir sacred treasures of helpless humanity >n the street; churches with their lofty steeples wreathed in fire; confusion, ruin, and death everywhere-and they would say that rebels deserve no better. Tell them that much of the property here is owned by foreigners-Germans, French, English, Italians, etc.-and that at any rate the destruction of their interest would be highly unjust. They will reply, at least mentally, that party exigency cannot hesi tate at trifles. You might take them through the histories of all great civil wars, where States, cities, and families were divided against themselves; you might show them that such an atrocity was never perpetrated, even when the streets have lowed with blood-but men who, with unblushlag impudence, fasten themselves like leeches on a community which openly despises and abhors them, would rot be shamed by unfavorable comparisons with former outrages. Nothing can more clearly demonstrate, than such threats, two points that ought to be very damaging to any party which makes the least pretension to justice and reason. They show, on the part of white leaders, a total absence of property interest in the city which they pretend to repre sent, but contemplate destroying with such cool complacency. On the part of negtro followers in the Legislature, such threats show, as the New York Herald has re marked, the total unfitness of that race to legislate. We have little confidence that any mo tives based on such reflections as these, would weigh at all against the " Torch" policy. But there is one element in the community, the presence of which may baffle this amiable mood of our imported rulers. There is a good deal of roperty in the city, and some of it vey valuable, owned by colored people weo were free originally. Many of this cs have been temporarily deladed into/the service of adventurers whom the really despise, but their delusion may l3 the safety of the rest. No mark can be put on their door sills to turn aside the fiery destruction, and, consequently, a'due consideration for them will probably lbe a virtual" insurance'" for all. Mr. C. C.

CRIME.--Judging ty private complaints and public reports, crime has taken one of its periodic spasms. The usual causes are assigned-inefficiency of the police, and a total inadequacy of the prevailing mode of.giving bail. THE CHRISTIAN BROTHEoRS.-Persons re cently arriving in the city may not be aware that the Christian Brothers have already opened-their two institutions, the St. Mary's College, on Foucher street, and the St. Vincent's Academy, on N.poleon Avenue. For those who reside in looplIties contignous to either of these institutions,'it is unnecessary to do more than call their attention to the fact. The. reputation of that excellent educational order is so wide spread that their schools need no reconm mendation. It is but natural.that men who devote their whole existence to the art of teaching should eventually acquire remarkable pro ficiency in it. The experience of one gen eration is handed down to the next, with its lessons, and again improved- upon by men who labor with the enthusiasm which love alone can arouse, and which is far beyond the inspiration of money. Their pro fession is-not-the transient make-shbift,f a provisional business, but the chosen aveea tion of a life; their proficiency is not the forced result of a mercenary policy, but the requirement of a religious duty. We all know the difference in results effected by one who loves his work and by a drudge. In addition to the gratification felt by parents at seeing their children interested in their studies, earnest in their efforts, and successful in results, ie the, still higher satisfaction of knowing that they are with men who can form them to obedience and discipline; that they will be taught that self-restraint which possibly the fondness of parents might have deprived them of at home. We daily see the melancholy wrecks of noble natures, highly cultivated and re fined, but deficient in self-control. These have had no-moral discipline whatever, and not much genuine mental discipline, since their acquirements have been obtained rather on the spur-of exciting occasions than by sustained and laborious effort. The Christian Brothers strive not merely to impart kdowledge to their pupils, but to give them an earnest mental and.moral training, by which they will know practi cally both how to endure labor and to resist self-indulgence. Why should not moral education be as practical a science as that of the mind, it being, without doubt, more important and more noble I This is the view taken of it by the good Brothers, to both the temporal and eternal advantage of their pupils.
