Even the ungodly people who minister to the amusement of others acknowledge it.

Giau, tbe indefatigable opera man, did not dare to give us Tiaviata until he paved the way for his vrmuie by the production of Don Giovanni and other woiks whose character will not be certified to by church members in good standing. Stephen MuFsutt, a very pleasant follow by the way, gave an entertainment here last Thursday, and tbe hypocritical fellow Btated on his bills that he was in blgh favor with the clergy the wonder is hut be did not produce a certificate of church membership. Before readiog Decken'a ac. couit of the "Death of Poor Joe," who was al'as kep' movin' on," Mr. Massett, with an eye to business and to the peculiar temperament of the people of this "hemisphere," 6tated that his reading of this affecting passage in California had actually been Instrumental in converting the most incorrigible sinner in the diggings.

"Howard of tbe Times," who is a Brooklyn man himself, and, of course, concerned in maintaining our reputation for possessing every Christian virtue, ventures on relating the following bit of scandal ia tbe Leader, but witb a delicacy that our previous fair ame justifies him in exercising, gives no names. We append the story, without endorsing it, as follows: In one of the "Places" in 8outh Brooklyn lives a rich man. Not that there Is anything very remarkable about that. But being rich and having a large family of very small children, he concluded to engago a Governess "which he did It." She came, he saw, tie conquered lliat is, In the course of six mouths he became so enamored of her, and B'ie yielded so gracefully to all his little ways, that an intestine war was waged which promised to rend asunder separate forever husband wife. Mlnibter, deacons, friends were called in, and solemnly the case was discussed.

Tne rich mau was in churehdom, and on contribution, days passed wilh d'gniiy and solemn visage up i 1 down uie aisle so for oecouial reasons it was deemed advisable not to expose him the rich was high In political Influence, not National or State, but local, and lest his liberal subscription to ward and club should he withdrawn, It was considered best to cover, if practicable, his shoricumings the rich man stood well in social lile, his wife was tbe daughter ofa clergyman, and his children were ornaments to the circle in which they moved, and so a third reason was found for his uon exposure. But what of the poor girl she was neiih'd rich, nor a deacon, nor a politician, nor of social stand ing, and to she was, with a month's wuees, and a heavy heart filled with dread of trials yet to come, turned off from the reputable mm's step. Luckily she "had a brother." With brothers, a sister's wrongs quickly find a hearing, and this was no exception to the general rule. You will all be gratified to know that bo thrashed moat heartily his sister's wronger, and then instituted a suit for seduction, with claims for heavy damBges. The suit has been withdrawn a check: for 00 was given the girl by the merchant she has gone back to her Eastern home and the story is the greatest eecret In the "Oily of Churches."

Another meeting of several branches of the Wood family pome of them from Lone; Island, Bonie fiom Brooklyn, one from Michigan, and one from Wiecoueiri.

wis held labt evenioe at Jones' Hotel, for the purpose of taking some farther steps in prosecution of their claim to the great Wood estate. The meeting was organized by the appointment of Mr. Bulmsm as Chairman, and Mr. Kiesam as Secretary. The committee who had been appointed at a former meeting to make investigations as to the facts in the case, reported that they had made an examination of oil the papers which could be ob tained in ibe matter, ond from them, they had gleaned the following facts James Wood, the deceased barker, died in the year 1836, under peculiar circumstances leaving a personal estate of 800,000 and a real estate of 100,000.

Two persons who claimed to be exe cutors of the deceased produced two papers which had, as they alleged, been found by them in the private secretary of James Wood after his death. They were enclosed in au envelope and labelled "The last Will of James These two parties, who were the attorney and counsel of tbe deceased, claimed to have the will admitted to probate as the will of the deceased, and after considerable legal obstacles being encountered and overcome the will was finally admitted to probate and shortly afterwards one of the parties named as executor in the will which was admitted to probate com, mitted suicide, and the other gave up his trust bo that the property came to the hands of the crown for the benefit of the parties named in the will if they could ever be found. Mr. James Wood wanted to know if there was anything in the law of England which compel led claimants of property to present their claim8 within a certain time. Mr.

Kissam said that he had made no inquiry in the matter at all and therefore could not tell. Another gentleman remarked that there would be no use of going on in the matter at all until that question could be settled. After some farther discussion the chairman stated that the next OTdej of business would be the reading of the Will, and all persons not directly concerned in that interesting matter, including our reporter, being obliged to leave the room, the further deliberations of the numerous fortune seekers are lost to history. Easter Sunday. To morrow will be Easter Sunday the anniversary of the resurrection of the Savior of the world of the day that proclaimed to the world that to the good man "death has no sting" and over him "tbe grave no To day closes the season of Lent, and to morrow the Episcopal and Catholic Churches signify by special services the great event that the day is se apart to commemorate.

The eggs that are sap poEed to have accumulated during the season of fast, are used on Eaater Saaiiy; among the Germans more especially the et gs are colored In virions fanciful ways and presented to the little people, who are supposed to labor under the pleas ant delusion that the significance of this day ii not confined to man alone, and that the eggs on that day are not indebted to human agency for the variegations. The late Fitz James O'Brien lie the turf above in the jllowin Verses, tells the "Legend of the Easter Eggs 'Tlftarpat pnrto aova rrtv tn At be merrily climbs on bis mother's knee, "Why are tliote eggs that you see me hold Colored so finely witb blue and gold? And what is the wonderiul nird mat lays Such beautiful eggs on Easter days Tou have heard, my boy, of the Man who died, Crowned wilh keeu thorns and crucified; And bow Joseph ihe wealthy whom God reward Cared lor tbe corpse of bis martyred Lord, And piously tombed it wi.hiu the rock. And olosed the gate with a mighty block. Now, close by ihe tomb a fair tree grew, With penduloUB leaves and hlossouis of blue; And dee in tbe green tree's shadowy breast A beautiful singing bird salon her nest, 'Which was bordrred witti mosses, like malachite, And held four eggs of an ivory white. Now, when the bird, from her dim recess, Beheld tbe Lord in his burial dress, And looked on ibe heavenly face so pale.

And the dear feet pierced witb tbe cruel nail, Her heart high broke im a suddeu pang, And out of tbe depths of her sorrow she sang. All night lonpr, till tbe moon was up. She sat and bang, in her mos wreatnedcup, A eni ol sorrow as wild and shrill As the Lorn less wind when it roams the hill So lull ol tears so loud and long, That the grief ol a world seemed turned to a song. But soon there came, through the weeping night, A glimmering uugel cloibed in wniie; And be rolled the stone from tbe tomb away, here the Lord of the earth and the heavens lay; And Christ arofe in ihe cavern's gloom. And In living lustre came from the tomb.

Now, the bird that sat in the heart of the tree Beheld this celestial mystery; And its bean was filled with sweet delight, And It poured a song on the throbbing uight Notes climbing mviee. lill, higher, liigber, They shot to heaveu like speurs of lire. When the glittering, white robed angel heard The sorrowing soug of the grieving bird, Aud beard ibe following chant of mirth That hailed Christ, risen again on earth, He said, "Sweet bird, be forever biest, Thyself, thy eggs, aud thy moss reamed nest." And ever, my child, Bince tnai blessed night, "When Death bowed: down to the Lord of flight, The eggs of ihe sweet bird changed their hue, And burn wiUi red aud gold and blue KemindiDg mankind, in tnelr simple tvay, Of the holy marvel of Easier day. Brooklyn Hobticultcral Society Spring Exhibition. The annual Spring Exhibition of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society will open at the Academy of Music on Weduesday, the 23rd and will be continued on until the follow ing Saturday.

From present indications the coming exhibition promises to be one of tbe finest ever given by the 8ociety. The semimonthly conversational meetings of the Society have served during the past year to create a considerable interest in the chaim'nj; pursuit of horticulture, and much knowledge has beeu thereby diffused in relation to the culture of beautiful and rare plants and flowers, and tbe corning exhibition promises to show a larger list of competitors for the pi izes offered by ttie iciaty, thin any previous one. It is a pleasing evidence of a high state of eivilizition that even the horrors of a civil war the most hateful of all wars canuot extinguish the love of one of the mst refined and sweetest arts of peace.

It reacoh ed Tybee on Ihe morning of thelOth Inst before ihe lire was opened aud the batteries being already manned our batteries could not participate in the action of the first day.

General Hunter, General Benham and General GII more all ntunifesied tbe most generous desire to give the Navy a share in the good work, and on tne 11th, the most important day, four rifled guns in battery 'Siegel," one of Ihe nearest and most important batteries, and consequently one nT the posts of honor, wero assigned to the men of tbe Wabash. We occupied it at daybreak and kept up a steady and well directed fire until the fort huuled down iis Hag ut 2 o'clock in the alternnon. The Ulcer and men behaved well.

These batteries I caused to be visited by several of our officers and men lhal tbey might profit by the experience lo be acquired. Tbe bombardment began at A. M.

on the 10th and continued during the day, but at first, while procuring tbe ranges, It was smehat inaccurate, many of the artillerists being quite untraine1 On the si cond day in spile of a high wind, the Bring from tbe rifled guns and columblads was excellent, the former boring into the brick face of the wall like aurora and the lauer elriklng like trip hammers and break lug off great masses of musoMs, which had been cut loose by the rifles. The four upper batteries were about yards distant frcm Pulaski and quite beyond the distance at which. it hps hitherto been held practicable to effect a breach, but which proved au easy breaching range with the wonderful projeotiles which we now possess. Wneu the fort, fumudeied the barbette guns bad been silenced and many of thtni had been dlsnantled. Itumois Reported Otsnffection Among the Rebels.

The Visit or fhe French Minister to Richmond. IT HAS A POLITICAL SIGMFOANCE. 4 TIIE REBELS ALARMED. The Gunboats at Pittsburgh. THE COWARDICE OF TOE OHIO TROOPS.

From Fortress Monroe The French Minister at Richmond. Fortress Monrob, April 18, via Baxtimore, April 19. Tho Norfolk Day Book; of yesterday, speaking of tho arrival of M. Mcrcelr, the French Minister to Washington Eichmond, speculates In relation the objects of hla viBit, and says It is an event fraught with grave signification The most probable solution, it says, ia that a French monopoly of tobacco underlies the wfiole mystery. We believe wo declare the popular determiaation when wo affirm that the Confederate Slates wilt not tolerate any diplomacy which places them beyond the pale of public law, and attempts in their waters their very nationality.

Let us be true to our honor and we shall at le9twin the acknowledgement of posterity that we deserve to bo lree. Tbe Norfolk Day Book of to day, mentions that in tbe skirmish last night Col. SlcKlnney, of a North Carolina regiment, and twenty five men were killed and seventy five tided. There was a very extensive fire in Norfolk last night and It has continued to burn all day. Several building were destroyed.

it Anniversary of the 19th of April in Baltimore. Baltimore, April 19. Tbe memorable 19lh of April is marked here to dav by the loyal citizens with great displays of flags in token of their joy lhal Ihe traitorous deeds of the shameful day which were designed by the conspirators of Baltimore to inaugurate secei sion and all its woes in Maryland, and to compass ihe distlne ion of the national capital have so signally failed; also that Ibat they now display the "stars aud stripes without endangaring their lives and properly, and without tbe penalty of the secession city councils. There is also a military display in progress. The Case of Messrs.

Tunstall andj Myers. Boston, April 19. Messrs. Tunstall and Myers, whoso arrival here under arrest tob announced last night, were not taken to Fort WarreB, but remain in the city on parole until their cases are decided at Washington. The Gunboats at Pittsburg.

(Correspondence of the Missouri Republican.) Passing over the battle field the following day I noticed that tbe portion of the woods which was suolled by the gunboats had been fired by the bursting of shells, aud many of the enemy had been killed and afterward burned to a crisp. I counted, probably, flfiy in that condition, and some 800 more or less burned. Tois was the most horrible sight I ever wiinessed. The gunboats old fearful execution. The underbrush is cut down for miles by themihsiles thrown from their guns and from ihe eroaller Held pieces.

Tbe 'rees aro perfectly riddled by bullets on every sidp, and why the destruction of life was not much greater it is Impossible for mo to conceive; hey came from all sides thick as hail. Cowardice of the Ohio Troops. I am sorry to say that many of the Ohio troops showed the. while feather, and could not be induced or forced lo tuke part in the fight. Alter a few rounds had been fired tbey made a rush for the river bank, aod there they repaired the whole of tho first day, and when the battle was at lis height, and our forces were ing driven, these cowards made a grand stampede lor the boats, but In this attempt ihey were foiled; the boats were cut loose and many of them who tiled to get on board were drowned 1 not think the men are as much at fault as tbe I'Pnrcejw'Ve brneo uiai ifity ULucsiua dip When asked why tbey were not on the Held, their rei ponse was Ibat tbey uld not Had their men that thfirmen had been all cut to pieces.

Shame, shame on such mi if all men were like these we should have had a second Bull's Eun. Ii must be a curiosity to And a tree that had not been Biruck hy one or more of these terrible messengers of deaib. Our lots in killed and wounded il probably rebch live thousand that of the euemv still more than that. "We have more wounded, but Iheir dead is three to one or oure. I noticed lhai, their killed wero mostly tiruck either in the bead or breast.

It is from the versatile pen of "Howard of the Times," who furnishes up a very agreeable dish ui chit chat. Howard is entirely rioted to the tk, beitg a resident of this city, and has acquired an ebviable reputation as a graceful writer' whiie Washington and Prince of Wales corres" pendent of the New York Tvnes.

In his letter to the Leader, inter alia, he speaks of the Eagle as the institutions" of Brooklyn and saya some handsome things of us but he is mistaken about onr abusing Henry Ward Beecher "or any other" divine, or man." We have sometimes poked fun at that eminent politician but have iiever dtscended to abuse. Tiie New York Sunday Mercury In the newspaper way, unquestionably the Mercury is the Suncay institution of New York. The sound editorials, choice selections, admirable correspondence, accurate reports of all local matters trana piricg, together with the side splitting fanniments of Orpheus C. Kerr and the Disbanded Volunteer, have all conduced to ensure the Mercury a success, qb decided as it has been deserved. But a main element entering into the accomplishment of iliat success has beeu the fact, that in its columns are to be found the very latest telezrapbic dispatches received in New York up to 4 o'clock Mercury published the news of the aUiek.

upon Foit Palaski, exclusively; no other Sunday paper had a line about that important movement. The Mercury also gave the best and longest accouu ot the gieat battle at Pittsburg Landing, famished by its own special correspondent, who was on the field. Such enlerprize deserves the success it meets. See advertisement elsewhere. The Weekly Standard "Howard of the Times," a gentleman of very high repute in newspaperdom, in his interestiug Brooklyn letter to this week's Leader, indulges in his pleasmt way in some gossip, anent tbe Brooklyn papers giving ihe Eagle, and the forty thousand lively little newsboys who herald its name abroid, very handsome mention.

Bat that is neither here nor there. Ot onr weekly cotemporary, the Standard, he speatB favorably acd justly, thus Tbp Standard is a weekly paper, evidently modelled on the Leader, by its well known editor, Alderman Del Veccbio. It has uttaiued a circulation, I am Informed, of about ten thousand, and is rapidly going ahead. Irs columns are filled wilh interestiug matter, the greater portion i which is personal in its applica'ion, and consequently much sought afier by tho people if there is anything in the World wnicbgood people delight to read, Ills thai which exposes tho lollies and 'sboWsup" tne crudities of their fellow CnriBlians. Success lo you, Alderman.
