of Many Lnmbs," in wblrh an intorostiiij; aeemint of the Jteforraed Sunday Seliool cniiMOof Heading is given, and graceful allusion is made to tho services of A. F. Hons, for forty years Superintendent of the Fir.4 Iietormcd Sunday School. The article will rovc of so niueli interest to the friends of the Sunday School cause in general, that we do nut hesitate to make liberal extracts from il. The.

writer says Fifty years njjo, the Sunday school cause in Pennsylvania, was in its infancy. It met with strenuous opposition. Had men opposed it from wicked motives good men from a jealous concern lor the doet riues and usatres of the Church Thin was the case in Eastern Pennsylvania. In the start, was made in the old Court House, in Peun Square. Earnest people of dill'cren; Churches gathered the children into a little fold and harmoniously lahored for their spiritual A number of the present old, influential citizens were then scholars anil teachers in this hali of justice.

Frelong, each denomination started its own Sunday school, lhe old liclorined congregation, then nmler the spiritual care of the late Uev. William Pauli, fitted up the cellar of its church for the purpose, at a cost of $300. Jlany of the pillar.) of arm significantly shook their heads at this novelty. Others showed their disapproval with greater emphasis than this. And not wholly without reason.

For niaiiv years old schoolmaster Roland had been the teacher of the voting of this fold. He was a godly man, well fitted for his office, a good organist and leader in song, and a man who had a strong faith in the use of therod. Hotter have one competent man, especially trained for his work, to tcaeii ait ttie children, than iiliv in competent and inexperienced school teachers. licsides, those old people held lhe old fashion ed notion that to teach children the doctrines of the liospcl was not everybody's province, he they ever so earnest, and pious. They wen: churchly.

They thought that, if anything go. was to come of their children, for this life or for that which is to conic, they would have to be taucht the doctrines, catechism, hymns and prayers of their fathers. And besure they were right, reariui that the Mini lay school might, in the cud, crowd the schoolmaster and the catechism out of the church, and lure the children away from the "old paths" of the fathers. they had their serious misgivings about the new movement. The Sunday school room, in the old church of Reading, was a damp, dark, uninviting place.

Still the you lit; cheerfully were gathered therein. For a few years the late Henry Krmentrotit was its efficient Superintendent. He. was a good man, and as a pioneer in the Work had delicate and difficult duties to perform, and he performed thcin well. many is he held in grateful remembrance.

llewas sueeecedvd by A. F. Hoax, Ksip, who held the olliee tor oyer thiriyyoars. When Dr. f.

C. Jiuehcr became the pastor, the church was remodelled, and more commodious and attractive Sunday School rooms were constructed. Forty years ago, 1 r. Jioas, along with a certain number of young men of Heading, became a sort of Sunday School missionary for the region round about the city. They organized schools in country school houses, n'ml in their humble ay did their share of good.

iious walked from live to six miles every summer Sunday afternoon, to serve his rural friends. Sometimes be served as ifiiperinlendeiil, librarian and teacher for the whole school. Last Sunday a week, June 2 the Sunday School of the First Church of Reading, held tin unusual service. A large number of the teachers and scholars arc members of St. Paul's Church.

For certain reasons, this new congregation did not organize a Sunday School of its own, when it was first started, but continued to labor in the old fold. hi the above day, the teachers and children of St. I'aul's met with their old friends for the hist, time for the following Sunday they expected to begin their own school. lioas had been their chief for many years. The parents of many of the present scholars, were formerly his scholars themselves.

Since then, many had become teachers, and now are parents of large families. The most of the outgoing teachers grew up under his tuition. Thirty years of such intercourse, consecrated by so much prayer and praise, forms tics the Christian is loath to sever. The heart of the veteran superintendent was deeply moved. The called up years long gone by and many joys departed.

a giving his purling blessing to bis children, appealing to the memories and mercies of the past, to urge them to fidelity to a covenant keeping Cod thus the father blessed the souls he gathered unto and bore in his warm heart for many years. After giving the remarks of Mr. Boas on the occasion of his refiraey, the article concludes with the following just and graceful tribute to that gentleman A pleasing lesson does the life of this brother teach us. Horn in this place, of comparatively humble parentage, first dependent on a idowed mother, ho trained him in habits of industry and piety. Then the noble, manly son upholds the aged mother, and with gentle hand and loving, tender heart, lightens the burdens and smoothes the pathway of her old age.

Cod prospers him. He builds up an extensive banking house. Amid the comforts and allurements of wealth, his loving soul sits enthroned in the tender hearts of childhood. To them his freshest and best thoughts are given. Jv them, like the busy bee, lie gathers honey all the week from books, newspapers, Cod's beautiful works in nature, his business intercourse with good and bad men and bears it into his cheery house on the Lord's day.

Often lias he told us. in touching language, how his soul was refreshed, when, wearied with the care and worry of the misiness 01 ine wees, ne mingled with tin trustful, unsuspecting children of his school whose cheerful whists, sincere prayers, and smiling faces, gave him more true joy than his iiiosi successiui ousiness projects. 1 lie retirement ot Hums is not owing to ine increasing innrmiiies ot age. He is still vigorous in body and mind. "His bow abideth in strength, and the arms of his hands are made strong by the handset' the mighty Cod of Jacob." of his talent and ripe experience cannot well be spared.

A wider held is open for him than the one he lias heretofore occupied. The Sunday School Teachers' Association of the Re formed Churche.f ot Heading has elected him Superintendent of all the Reformed Schools in that city, with instructions render them such assistance as his judgment and sense of duty may dictate. Thousands of souls has he had under his care during his long and useful term of olliee. fhe scholars of this old Sunday School of Reading are scattered over the most of lie States in the Union. Many will read this feeble tribute to the worth of a faithful and tried friend of their childhood with grateful hearts.

js work runs through two generations. The scholars of thirty years ago till the present school with their children. Many a wayward boy has he aided in turnin" into the right way. "lie helped to make a man a person of prominence to us not long ago, who in youth was on the way that leadeth to destruction. In hundreds of tender hearts has the seed of his sowing taken root.

of the bread he lias east upon the waters bus already returned, and much will return hereafter. Sure we are, that many, to hom these lines may come teachers whom for many long years, in storm and sunshine, he gathered around him, ns co workers in his labor, parents and children alike will join us in the. fervent prayer, that (ind may richly bless and reward this friend of their early years, the benefactor uiul guide of their children, A.

AKItKSTKt) FOR R.VOUNU IN TUB SCHUYLKILL. Yesterday afternoon nine boys were arrested by officers Priiizmanu and Jacob Grossaud Sergeant l.utz, for bathing in the Schuylkill. Three ladies called at the Mayor's office yesterday morning, and complained of the urged that something be The boys must have some place to bathe, and so long as lhe city does not provide a suitable place, arrests will be made, and it is right that the nuisance be abated during the day. The city authorities should make proper provisions at once, as there are numbers of working men and boys who cannot itii'ord to pay for that which is really necessary. It is to he hoped that some one will move in this matter.

The Mayor discharged them and warned them not to get into the hands of the officers during the day time. 1 To El'hori! in Sixty ItocHS Tub Transatlantic BalloO V6yaE. The renders this paper are already aware that an agreement has been entered into between the Graphic Printing Company of New York City and Profs. Wise and Donaldson for a balloon voyage across tho Atlantic. Tho following is the copy of the agreement as published in the Graphic of Tuesday evening This memorandum of agreement, made at the Cify of New York, the 27 th day of dune, 1S73, byund between The Graphic Company, proprietors and publishers of Tun Daily Oka nnv, party of the first part, and John Wise, of Philadelphia, party of the second part, and Washington II.

Donaldson, of Reading, party of the third part, witnesselh That the said The Graphic Company will build a balloon of not less than 130 feel in height and 100 feet in diameter, and will fully eipiip and provide the same with valves, balance line, ropes, car and gallery, life boat or raft, and all other appliances necessary to insure strength and safety in so far as may be practicable. It agrees that the construction of the same shall be commenced at once and pushed to completion as rapidly as possible, and betore the day of August next if practicable and the said The Graphic Company will furnish the use of said balloon to said John Wise and said Washington II. Donaldson for the purpose of the making of an aerial voyage therein by the parties of the second and "third parts from the City of New York to some point on the Pastern side of the Atlantic Ocean upon the conditions following First That the said John Wise and the said W. H. Donaldson shall personally superintend and direct the construction of the ballon according to the utmost of their skill and judgment, mid that in all mutters connected with the eon structiou of such balloon they shall be subject to the general direction of The Graphic Coin pan v.

Sccimil That the said John Wise and the said W. II. Donaldson shall not make nor participate in any other balloon enterprise, exhibition, or ascension while this agreement is in existence. Third That on the completion of the said balloon the said John Wise and the said W. Jl.

Donaldson shall, on a day and from a starting point to be selected by The Graphic Company, make a public ascension in such balloon, accompanied by such other persons as may be designated by The Graphic Company and making such ascension, that they shall, directly and without any delay or evasion, seek the elevation of the eastern air current, there to remain until land shall have been made on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean. Fourth That the said John Wise and said V. 11. Donaldson shall then land said balloon as safely and expeditiously as possible, and immediately thereafter communicate the intelligence of their arrival, with full particulars of the voyage, by the most speedy menus available, to Thcliaily 'Graphic. (Signed,) Jamks II.

The Graphic adds the f.dlowingcditorially "The foregoing preliminaries having been duly settled, the work of strtiction was begun on Saturday last, and will be pressed forward rapidly to completion. Although it is impossible to fix. definitely the day of departure, yet are confident that everything will be in readiness before August 20th next. We have lent our aid to the undertaking in the interest of science and business, and the progress of mankind. T.ie balloon will not be exhibited to the curious to make a sensation, but as soon us it is lini dii will take its flight.

We have reason In believe that the public will not be disappointed or dissatisfied either with the method of the undertaking or the manner of its performance. "It is needless for us fo enlarge upon the benefits which will result from the success of this enterprise. They may be easily imagine if they arc not obvious at once, he discomforts, the risks, the cost, and the perils of the ordinary ocean voyage are fainiliarenough. The path across the ocean has been paved with human bones. Millions of treasure have gone down beyond recovery.

To demonstrate the practicability of aerial navigation is to revolutionize the business and comiuuuication of the world. To demonstrate its impracticability, even, would be a positive gain but once sail to Europe through the air in sixty hours, once acquire practical mastery of the methods of navigating the air and the difficulties of the route, and there is no telling what grand results may fid low."

A noble elm tree was cut down a few weeks ago to make room for the new chapel adjoining Trinity Lutheran Church, on North fith streel. Whether the chapel, which can be built in a single season will compensate for the loss of the noble tree, which took nearly half a century to grow up, and would have increased in beauty and magnificence every year, for half a century to come, remains to be seen. The entire debt of the city of Philadelphia according to the official report is The receipts into the treasury from all sources for the last financial year were and the disbursements but then a considerable portion of the rrcrijils was made up of loans.

Reading's debt is not quite a million, but ns the annual expenditures exceed the receipts about a hundred thousand dollars or so, it will not be long before our town will be able to boast of as big a debt proportionally as the great metropolis.
