of the ungodly who, in divers ways
make suggestions totally at vari-
ancewith tradition and the accept
" ed customs of the day. Tt has
been the fashion ever since the
days when curfew rang on Eng
lish soil, to summon, the faithful to
prayer by means of metal contriv
ances called bells, which, being
ma'de purposely sonorous, emit a
loud noise when set in motion.
The better to expedite the travel
of the sound, it is likewise usual
to suspend the bell in a high po
sition so that the sound-waves may
the more readily pass to the ears of
those thus cheerfully summoned.
Indeed bo universal has the custom
become that one of those instru
'ments is deemed ascsontial a por
tion of church propeity as the
minister himself. Those shame
less men who advocate the aboli
tion of church bells maintain as
excuse for such opinion that the
bell is but a ic-lic of baibarism;
that when the common mind was
steeped in ignorance it may have
been -well enough to have bells
and gongs and other noisr con
trivances to apprise the devout
that the time was at hand when
they were to meet at the sanctu
ary; but that now-a-days, when
every one, matron and maid, old
men and sprightly boys; those in
the first flush of manhood, and
those with whom the shadow is
toward the east, are presumably
able to read the paper, that the
dajT of the bell has passed, that
its usefulness is ended, and that it
should be abolished. To those
who would meekly suggest that the
time when divine service begins
is a, point of great importance,
these scoffers at custom and estab
lished usage, say that in these days
of cheap watches and clocks, eveiy
one has one of these useful instru
ments, either in his house or on his
person, as the cas-c may be, and
henec the old-time bell is ten
dered unnecessary. So far do they
carry their wicked argument that
they even suggest that to invalid,
nervous people, and so on, the
clang and clangor,. tin noisf and
vibration of a church bell is as
vinegar to the teeth, and a smoke
to the eyes, and that it is no more
needful to keep up such old cus
tom than to continue to ride to
mill with the grist fastened on the
horse, just because our respective
ancestors did so ordain their gait.
To these suggestion'; sciiously
their ears do several men incline,
and the controvcisy has even
reached the newspapers, the .case
being simply Bells vs. Xew Ideas.
While this may excite the ap
proval of the injudicious it must
arouse regret in the minds of the
truly good; yet in reading the
arguments pro and con in a Phila
delphia religious paper last night
'twas with a subdued hope that
the able champions of the no-bell
idea would some day visit Astoiia
and promulgate some powerful ar
guments about steamboat whistles.
We don't know how Astorians fenl
about church bells, nor have we a
wide insight into their uews lela
tive to the morning shiieks that
come from the water front, but
believe, individually, that it is in
the limits of possibility for those
iboats to get away from this port
when the rosy aurora of morning
is flushing over the eastern hills
without screaming and tooling and
shrieking and waking up the whole
town in an effort to have it under
stood that they have at G o'clock.
Kit were a matter of dispute as
to the hour of departure wo would
conccje the necessity of such daily
demonstration of the important
.tfact, but why, morning after morn
ing, despite the advertisements
that appear in Tin: Astoria x, our
marine friends should keep up
such a diabolical screeching, is
! like the peace of God it passcth J
all understanding. Railway trains
carrying valuable lives and great
treasure decorously announce
their departure with a modest j
toot, momentary and decisive, j
For this we are at a loss to know j
why such a fuss is made because a
boat starts for Portland. 1 here is
, . . . , .,
one craft in particular, that wans
and sobs and then strikes a shrill,
'
car-piereiiir note mat mis iiic air
. . , ... .
and has the same effect upon thoe
unfortunate creatures that have
nerves, that a dentist's probe has I
on the victim in the chair. The
chief agony about that infer
nal boat is 'Ou don't know when it
is liable to break out again, and
the suspense is inoic mifcry than
the few. moments of physical
torture. But the point is made,
and justly too. that everyone ought
to be up and "on deck" when
these whistles blow. If these
unearthly screams are a wi--!y-
ordained punishment to the !! I -;
f ul, and to those lazy creatures w ho
lie in bed when they ought to be
shambling around bragging about
being "up early" and otherwise
useless, then are we in the front
rank of tliDo who would commend
the continuance of ;he;e morning
avengers .of j the dawn. But yet
the robust and staiait majority
should concede that the weak and
sleep-desiring ininoiity have Mttvly
some light thai they (the i. and
s. in ) are bound to respect, and in
tliPir behalf we humbly suggest
thai to make a voyage to Poit
land it is not necessary to make
such piefaratory announeemnt r.s
the present.
