Interesting Sermon from Dr. Boynton on the Attributes of Heaven?The Celestial City a Material Metropolis?The Besurrected Body a Thing of Flesh and Bones? Dr. Newman on Trne Worship. ASSEMBLY C1IIR111. Dr. Boynton Upon the Material lam of tha Body After the Resurrection, and of the Celestial City?A Picture of tbe Spiritual Form of Humanity and of the Eternal Home of the Blesf. Washington, June 18, 1871. Rev.. Dr. Boynton preached at the Assembly church upon the attributes of the spiritual body and HEAVEN AS A MATERIAL l'LACE. The spiritual body, as shown by Instances in Christ's lite often after the resurrection, was visible aud in rlslblo at pleasure. It had the power to penetrate matter. It was not controlled by gravity. A body iormed of flesh and bones, in which spirit power takes placo of the blood on ine arrival of lire, ! can eater upon the new conditions of life | in the kingdom of heaven, Christ was put to . death In the flesh, hut. quickened and reinstated In ? the spirit life. The speaker was not ono or those who think that all inquiry regarding characteristics of heaven either forbidden or useless. Inasmuch as Christ declared that lie was going to prepare a place for us, it becomes an interesting question to us where that homo of the Lord may be and what its , character Is. The statements of tho Scripture seem | intended to excite our Interest in regard to our future home. Christ is said to have passed through, not | into tne heavens. The phrano Is significant and.not \ carelessly used, but employed to describe a literal , fact, that in going back rrom earth to fits heavenly 1 homo 11c passed through the heavens. The Jewish idea or TUB 9TKUCTUXK OF TIIE UNIVERSE embraced tnree hcaveus?the atmosphere of earth, ttic starry regions, beyond ana without these the heaven of heavens. For such a general and wide spread idea there must be some corresponding truth. This heaveu oi heavens seems lo be the place of the special maniiestation of God, the seat of His throne, the cenual city and metropolis of the universe. In regard lo Its character, flsrt of all It must be a place , where a material body with FLKSH ANI) BONKS CAN dwell, for wlih such a body Jesus evidently ascended. Two 1 ideas may be entertained in regard to senses?ono ! that sensibility depends upon the senses, and wnen | the body perishes the spirit has uo means of com- ! mumcatlng with the material world. It is a i question whether the body is a medium, without , which tlie spirit cannot perceive at all, or whether It mat not be a muttlcr, l>> whose wltUdraw<?i <i?o spirit would receive impressions from tue external world more readily than now. a covering over the ear deadens the hearing, a glove 011 the hand ren tiers the touch less delicate, a shaded glass obstructs the vision. The withdrawal of the body may in crease all THE PERCEPTIVE POWERS OF TnK SPIRIT. Christ rose as the first, fruits of the redeemed humanity. The place Ho has prepared tor His people muit be suited to the resurrection state of 1 all His people. It will also bo woi thr of the great ' king. As a royal bridegroom first throws open the parlors he has Utied for his bride, so it may be that the ltoyal Son will on the great dav when He takew tho Church. His bride, to Himself, first throw open the new regions He has prepared to the wondering eves of angels and of men. Wo cannot even lancy " THE PARTICULAR CHARACTER OK ITS SCENERY, tlie forms and hues of its glories or the nature v its ever new delight; but we know that pr -m*-' *et every desire and want of the new liiiun*.. ihe description of the new Jerusalem shows I. side upon which (iod uses gems and gold, of which, if we possess a little portion, we arc so swollen with ?anity and pride. It matters not Whether th" de scription is a reality. It shows God's estimate of and His use of gems and gold. With a few gems to sparkle aud a ' " ijold pieces to sUlne a man expects to: ? 'tile ns with bis Splendor; but God shows us a . % flft?eu hundred miles square, with its founri&ttr>?MP?ilst>( precious Jewels, each of its lofty gates a sortd jtearl and all its streets paved with gold. This is thcy'dea which Ood presents of heaven. Christ aseendeu'as tho head or the government of the universe. In this govern ment the Church Is to share. There are ttiree tneo ries in regard lo TUE ORGANISATION OF THE CELESTIAL GOVERN MENT. One Is ,',gat besides the angels there are many dif ferent r Mlcrs ol Intelligent beings inhabiting tho countless worbls of the universe, und that redeemed humanity, with Christ at its head, will constitute ?' fvveming family of creation. Anotner suppo is that as the only revealed form Tor beings or degree of intelligence Is the human one that it die model form oi the universe, 'i J third theory 'Is that there are only two races ot intelligent be ings?angels, good and evil, and men. Whichever theory of the universe you may adopt the position or the Church of Christ In that universe remains unchanged. lu any case It is the governing body of cieation, tlie queen sharing the throne of her royal husbaud, Christ. TDC JIKTIIOPOLITA* METHODIST CHIROB. Dr. Newman on tbe FOT-ncy nnrt Orlgii rf True Worship?All l'lares Uod'i Holy Temples. Washington, June 18, 1871. Secretary Delano and General Ilaocock were among the attendants at L)r. Newman's this morn ing. The subject was "True Worship." His text was taken from the fourth chapter of St. John's Gospel, ninteeuth to twenty-sixth verses, being the Kvaugeilst's roport of the conversation between Christ and tho woman of Samaria, in which Christ said, "The nour comctn, and now is, when the trnc worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; ror the Father seekcth such to worship Him." Dr. Newman prefaced his sermon with an aoeount of tho origin 01 the Jewish and Samaritan religions, whose symbolic aud ritu alistic Institutions were done away with by Christ at tho well of Sychar aud the truo Idea of worship dcalared. This declaration of Christ suggested two questions. Fust, WHAT IS TRlTK WORSHIP? and, secondly, how should It be performed ? The word "worship" Is of Saxou origin, a compound of two words, worth and ship, worth having reference to the cxcelleuce of tho bclug worshipped aud ship expressing state or condition. Tbe origin of wor ship is a question of profound Interest. Is it a human invention or a divine revelation f From the earliest tliue bestial sacrifices have been offered to Jehovah, aud the question arises by what means did the first worshippers learn that the shedding of the blood of a iamb or goat or other beast be acceptable to God. The speaker thought through divine revelation. The apostles and prophets seemed so to regard It. If worsuip is a divine revelation what are ihe elements mat make It acceptable / Doubtless worship is a recognition of the supremacy and sovereignty of Coo and the justice of Uls claims upon our conduct, l ntt whoio creation sings the existence of God. RtKRYTIIINU IN TIIK VAST UNIVERSE proclaims the Hand Divine by which all nntnre nves. The evidences of Ills existence demand a recognition ot His sovereignty from ills intelligent creatures, and further, tho offering to Him of tlie gratitude wortuy ills benevolence. It is not enough that we should feel gratitude. God calls for a significant expression In songs ot praise aud adoratlou; not only gratitude, but submission must be manifested. Angels can adore the sovereignty of God, but we, as rebels, nnst do something more. Wo must outwardly express our loyalty. True worship Is characterized by simplicity, intelligence ami spirit uality. Ihe day 01 symbolism is passed. The day when Jerusalem was the religious centre of the , world u gono. Tho whole muTerae to now my bouse or prayer. The religious world has no centre except where the worshipper la. The simplicity of worship aiso suppo-es simplicity la those exercises which are recognized as acceptable to Uod. We do not behold Christ worshipping ARRAYBO IN MAGNIFICENT ROB KB, splenuid tiara and the Unm and Thumnnm, but we behold him privately in prayer and publicly reading the Scriptures, singing hymus and praying and sitting djwn and leaching the people. The nearer we approach to Christ the simpler we swill be In tho external expression of our hearts. Men like extremes. On one side we have the Catholics, oil the ot er the (junkers. They arc the antipodes of worship. The Papist has none back to the days of Moses and Solomon, l'he Quaker has oscillated to the other extreme. He sits in silence and waits lor the spirit to move. Sometimes it moves to silence, sometimes to frivolity. Tho s|>eaker would have everybody a uuaker so far as morality is concerned, yet he would nave him receive tlie Lord's supper and baptism and KINO AND SnOtTT AH METIIOmsTS or any other pious people. Worship must not oniy be simple bot intelligent; and If iw is it possible to kuow how to worship God without that Ilookt w ithout us Instructions you would bo as ignorant as the Pagans of the past or the p.igans of tho present. Lastly?Spirituality. Uod must be worshiped In spirit and In truth?in the truth which is according to the precepts of the Bible, and la spirit by bringing all our passlous and appetites In subjection to the Divine law. Worship Him in prayer, In meditation. In hope and faith, and with the joy of song. Kmember that wherever you are you are In yonr Father's temple, aud your prayer can be heard as well irom tub place op nrsiNRsg ana the thoroughfare as from tho place of public prayer. Remember that vou arc to render unto Him your hearts aud tue service of your life. FATHEE HYACINIH3. Hin Recent Letter?The I,niln Ilares?VVbnt Tliey OiiKtat to I>o?

Tne Italian government and Parliament have tcs tilled tnelr sympathy with Franco In noble lan uuage.

At a moment when men, blinded by pussious, endeavor to propagate lalsenood ami sow discord betweeu two sister nations, li Is the duty of ail enlightened and honest men to draw closer tho ties which uuito Franco to Italy. If the Latin races are to maintain, I will not say their independence only, but their great position in face of the menacing preponderance of the Geriuaulc and Sclavonic races iiersornlled in Prussia and Russia, thev must above all things be united. In no othei way can they resume the traditions ot that Western civilization whose destinies are blended with those of the catholic Church, auu whoso mis sion, ir she would recover her ancient splendor.

Moreover, In de lending io-day her own cause, 1-rance defends that oi society at. largo, les, humandignity, law &itu liberty, the civilization of tho two worlds, have been outraged and trampled upon by new barbarians amid the bloody streets and burning monuments of Paris. In vain do tho men of Alarch ik pretend to represent two political Ideas which would t>u just if confined within their true limits?the idea of that Comuiuuc to which M. de Bismarck did homage in ill* Reichstag on May 12, and the idea of the moral and material regeneration or the working classes. They liave compromised these causes by most unacceptable exaggeration and oy the odious means they have mado use of. They would have realized the triumph of their cause at the expense of tne uatl ma! unity and on tue ruins of social and religious order.

Mrs. Wlster's admirable translations are among the books that everybody reads, she certainly may be said to possess unusual abiltiy in retaining the peculiar weird flavor of a German story, while ren dering it with dcrfeet ease and grace luto our own language. Few recently published novels have re ceived more general perusal and approval than "Only a Girl;" and "Why Did lie Not Die?" possesses In at least an c<iual degree all the elements of popu larity. From the beginning to the end the Interest never flags, and the characters and scenes are drawn with grout warmth and power. The story Is based upon the early loves of Ilerr Wllhelm Graven sund, a young gentleman or wealth and position, and Marie Guutiier. a beautiful but humble girl. Through the carelessness and villany of a priest, the Pastor Siegfried, a sum of money seut bv Graven sund for Mario's use and sustenance, and accom panied by expressions of the warmest affection, is Kept from her, and she die?, leaving a young Infant and believing herself forsaken and betrayed by her lover. The child Is at first thought dead, but Is finally restored to warmth and life and somewhat reluctantly adopted by Marie's aunt, the Frau Kurtcn, and her husband, with whom, it must be coufessod, ho hits rather hard linos. The Pastor Siegfried is, as a matter of course, the boy's bitter enemy. Having appropriated tho mouey sent him (amounting to the sum ol 700 marks) ostensibly to the Church, but r ally chiefly to nis own purposes, under tho supposition of lite turd's death, his fury upon discovering him to bo living may bo Imagined; constantly and energetically ho a.-.ks himself why ??the boy did not die?" The priest's anxiety Is tho greater when somo year.', after (Herr Gravensund having in the meanwhile married), he finds that tho Kurtens are not only near neighbors of the Graven sunds, but that an accidental acquaintance between the legitimate children and poor Hichard (as the boy Is called) has actually givou tho latter tho entree, to his father's house. Siegfried then sets himself to work to destroy the lad's reputation and banish him from the Gravensutid mansion, fearful that Herr Wllhelm may, through some unforeseen circum stance, discover that his son is still living, and that he has been deceived by tho wily priest. In theso plots ho is aided by Thereso J'igcr, a deceitful aud treacherous woman, who, having obtained her flrst foothold in tho Gruvcnsund home as housekeeper (a place procured for her through Sloglrled's own agency), lias contrived to attain considerable in fluence with tho family. Through their com bined eflorts Richard Kurtcn is accused ot theft, and finally put out or tho way by being sout, at tho age of twelve years, to the House of Correction. To this step tho foster parents, who be lieved in his guilt, and have never regarded him with much tenderness, consent, l'hence he is suffi ciently fortunate to make his escape, auil for a time ho disappears altogether from tho scenes of tho siory. In the raeantlmo many changes take place among the rest of toe dramatispersona. Madame Graven sund dies, ami Thereto Jitter, by a series of art#, succeeds In marrying tlio widower. The children glow up; Willy, the son, proving himself not only worthless and extravagant, hut finally lorgmg the name ot a companion, and only escaping imprison ment through flight. Tno Kurtens settio down to a ratner unlovely, yet comfortable, old age, rarely speaking or their foster son, of whoso fate they are ignorant. The pastor, Siegfried, still retains some lnilueuco and lulimauy with the Graven sund family. The hero of the *?:? reap pears a talented am' successful artist, as well as a popular ann brilliant man. He thus proves coucIuh'""'/ "wliylie did not "lie." Having learned .rears before that the Kurtens were not tils parents he has dropped their name, and is known as "Heichard," under wnlch title lie has risen to wealth and prosperity. Tho priest meets the young artist, and in spue of all changes knows him as tho boy ho disgraced and banished. With iheGraven sunda Ketctiard bccomes intimate, wlum lie remains uurecognizod by them. Ue appears attracted by the grace and beauty of Anna. Ilerr Gravcnsund'syouug daughter. The priest sees tho impending danger, Alia fears he may be forced to nnlto the brother and fr or his crime. All. however, ends Keichard's love is really given toXotta, the m>st charming character m the book, she is the fitter of Gravensund's first wile; but as she was vi-y young at the tune of tho marriage she is ucu erlly supposed to be a daughter of the house. Tho arist shares this be.lef, and when his father flnlly discovers una desires to acknowledge nn, Reicliard's despair at believing Netta to be lii^isier far exceeds his happiness iu tluding a faier. mis miaundersfanding is, however, before loir dispelled aud tteichard and Netta made happy. Tlipriest's critno is, of course, discovered; he Is baished from tnc Graveusund circle, but not pub licl disgraced. As a parling arrow lie discloses to He. Wilhelui his present wde's former positiou and J chaicter, wuhour, however, confessing that liim-if was the author of her misfortunes. nr?uame lliene Gravensuud is thus deponed, he husband constug himself among Uis clilldr*"> with whom lie li\? m peace and happiness. *ne declining years of the'-urtens arc also pass<?i in great contentment, owing iiuarai rein'?<ances from their foster son. Such lsbriof resume of ilus very interesting novel. Althou. it cannot bo claimed that all the outlines of the jt ure entirely original, there is, neverthe less, a ?t amount ot freshness about the book. MAitutf kor Both Worliw. By Mrs. A. E.

The Consolidation of ths New York and New Haven and New Haven and Hartford Railroads-Bi? Dividends and High Tariffs -Remonstrance of the People? What the Officials Say. Tho residents of the to win along the linn of tho New York and New Haven and tho New Haven, Hartford and Springfield Railroad* liavo frequently complained of tho oxorbitaut rates chargod for local freights and passengers; but their voice has never been hoard so loudiv as at tlio present ll- e. About a year ago these two roads, winch constitute the line bet ween this city and Boston, entered Into terms ot consolidation, and slnco Septembor last tho two lines have boen run under one manage ment. There Is now before the Legislature of Con necticut a bill to legalize tho consolidation, and it having been favorably reported by tho joint railway committee petitions against tho consolidation to tne following effect are being circulated. A. corre. spondent In New Haven sends It to this omeo, wlih tho information that the market valuo of the com bined stock Is about $2a,ooo, that the New York and New Haven road pays ten per cent dividend on lis watered capital and upwards of twelve per cent on Its rash capital. The Hartford road pa> s upwards of twelve per cent, equal to eighteen per cent on its paid-up capital. These large dividends is urged as a reason why the rales of freight and tares should be reduced and the public benefited. The pout ion s as follows:?

That a charge of two centa per mile haa proved remunerative Iti other Stale*, and that railroad companies which have baen restricted by law t'> u charge of two NRtl per nil e for both through MM wny pisseugera have teen and now are aide to pay handmme illvittendg on even their nominal raplial, notwithstanding aaid capital haa, by tho procMI of "watei Inn," been greatly Increased over the amount actually subscribed and paid In. Tliey therefore n apeettully remomtrat* against the pass age 01 Raid Consolidation bill, unless thera be Incorporated therein a ciau?e re-urlctlug the combine I mad* from charg ing for the traiuporatlori of either through or way p.iaaen gen more than two cents per utile. Willi a view of ascertaining what cause there la for public grievanco an atiachO of tlie IIkhald yesier tlav called upou Mr. Iloyt, Superintendent of the New York and New Ilaveu iUtlroad Company, and had an Interview wltn tnat gentleman and ttio treasurer. From these gentlemen it was ascer tained that these companies, with a view of economizing in expenses, securing uniformity of rates und saving expense of breaking bulk, in Sep tember last effected t e consolidation on terms that will bo relcrred to hereafter. They' emphati cally denounced the statement tnat local lares aro as high as eight and ten cents nor tnilo as untrue, and tnat In no case between local stations was more than three and a half cents per mile charged, now or in tne pa^t. On the contrary, as a result of the consolidation, In May last tho freight rates were greatly reducod; but this Is usual on the opening or navigation and tno coinmeueemont of water transportation. Tney also deny tnat tlie stock of their toad has been watered; the capital, it is admitted, was In lSW) increased Irom $8,oni>.?'?o to $3,too,ooo, half ol which had been paid in, and dividends are paid upou what has been paid In. It is claimed that this Increase of capital, or ??watering" as it is termed, was necessary to Veep up Ihe rolling slock, replaco wooden by iron bridges and Iny steel rails in place of iron ones. Already about one-nail tho Iron rails have been superseded by steel, and no soon as tne balance of the extra $a,(iijii,ooo u paid In the other portions ol the road win be overhauled m the saiue manner and placed In HUporiof order. These officials claim that neither company will be benelltod pecuniarily by tne con solidation beyond tho slight reduction of ruutnng exi?eu-ea, and that, on the contrary, shippers and travellers will reap the benefit by more ramditv in tho transmission of lrei?ht and passengers between Nfiv York anil the Eastern cities.
