The next day what a change I whilst full of the eagerness of successful business, perfect uf limb and sartguiue with hope, the dread Ruler shifted the scene. An aco'denl which our friends have shown us by their at tentions that they have kept constantly in mind, transferred us wills broken limbs to the silent chamber and tbe passing uf Ihe valley uf death. After six month of prostration, we began to n. ov about when a urther accident renewed and added to th toil of our Surgeon and protracted our seclusion to the present time, Our object in thus alluding to an event which has taken a year from our ao.ive life (und giv en it, trust, to profitable reflection) is, after exprsieiDg our acknowledgments to the Giver of all Good, to render thanks to those minister ing spirit and invaluable friends, who, in th family and social circle, and in the great min istiy ol medical science, have borne us orer tbe ehssin so successfully aud to happily.

P.3. Please show this notice at the door." The Mr Edgar to whom we referred in our yesterday's issue, has also sent forth his mani festo. It wiil be seen, from the tenor of Ed- I gar's letter, how difficult it is for these disorgan izes to accomplish their object. In Ihe face of th fact, that he expected "on hundred resignations" to be made, this evil doer deliberately persevere in the work of destruction. We sincerely hope, for the sake of the present association, as well as all others which may hereafter be formed for similar purpose, that the fell spirit of political fanaticism may ba confined to the Npw York city branch of the "Union," and that so had an etample of ''Christian Union'-may not prove infectious and spread ils baleful in flu enc among Ihe members of the Brooklyn organization.

The "Journal of Commerce," noticing the resignations rcfcired to in Air Hdgur note, says "The abovo foard of we mfilerstand.

Uut the recent no-live participation in tbe proceedings, of pe sons notorious fur their rationalistic and heterodox doctrine, and tbeir open enunciation of extreme abolitionism, have influenced those members who neither approve or countenance eu views, to withdraw from the Society. It is not improvable that the come outers may return Io first principles, and ullimitcljf form a new organization." Even th N.

Y. 7'imet appears to regret tha successful issue of difficulty, which was announced this morning. Tbe Timet says: The Young Men' Cluistian struck Inst night upon one of tbe rocks among which it rush young pilots have been cruising for the lust six months. Nojrlv two hundred of its active and most efficient members withdrew last nigh', not from any i-cfineol interest in the objects for which the Asso ciation was organized, but because of the wido de parture troin those objects which, in their judgment, have marked its recent action. A glance aa the n-mesof tho secederv, which we publish in another column, will show that they comprise some of ihe ablest and most us ful of the members of the Asso ciation.

It will be a matter of general regret that an Association which had so large and so inviting a field of usefulne and which was doing much practical good, should have been thus interrupted and crippled. We trust, however, that those who have declined to act further with the present organisation, will not abandon the work iu which, previous to the unhappy misunderstanding, they were laboring with such good results. One hundred and sixty seven members tendered their resignations in a few courteous worda of regret that the Association had departed from th object that bad originally brought them together." At this slsge of th proceedings a Mr. Herries, with more of the venomous sarcasm of Satan than the benign attributes of a ChriiHan young man, moved That the Association most cordially accept the resignation thus tendered. and do hereby recommend the brethren thus se parating themselves lh mercy of God thro' Jesus I Hisses.

Indeed, perhaps, us much as any -thing els, our present society resembles a dismal farce or trngi-comedy, in hich all the performers know very well that they ar only making believe, and that nobody ia deceived by llieir seeming, least of all themselves l.at who, nevertheless, go on gravely in their muck characters, shamming the appearance of what they are not, and heaping up continual shabby pre tenees, amid an atmosphere of gas light, burnt cork, spangles, orchestras, cheap paint and filagree splendors. YcSjjndeed, it is the ago of rnaklng believe inodel of tt most common jilooe epoch, It is the period of great appearances, and yet the day of email things.

There are no ftst lines ol mail-coaches, end substantial rounds of beef are no longer sought for iu the market. Il ia the age of Iritter and filagree, of pennies and six-peucer. Young girls never marry lor love now a-days every thing is diluted, even negus. Life is a whipt syllabub, aud has scarcely time to sour before it is dissolved.

Everybody writes. or edits newspaper or upsets society, in this epoch. There more science now then ever there were befoie, and myriad of profeoor-ships. Everybody calls everybody egotistical. Everybody criticise) art-union pictures, and every body volunteers to sing at musical festivals.

Cheap books ar legion historian ar infinite eiiiihl, and tbe world i getting out an autobiography in yellow covers, at a shilling a number. And all the while, benatli this brittle fretwork of society, throbs and surges, with the agonizing its owu strength, a great broad, human heart, burning with the memory of wrong and lb presence of suffering. Oceanlike it wy to and fro, and gather up it long- pent might for a spasmodic effort, which shall destroy th "day of small things." Tha night and tbe tempest are below and around an age of common place. would to heaven, that the great lovers of humanity could unite at this day, and out of lb chaos which ere long will come, erece a lofty aud glorious temple, to th great Christian spirit of love upon earth.
