I bad pnrpoeely gone without tea to ba early, and reached In the very nlCiofUme, taking up a poaiUon near the strangen* entrance, ao w to beVeady when the gate opMiol It eonld'at haTe been owr balf-paat live, while the outer gates don't open till hUT-paat six, St some fbur or Ave tbouiaad persona were alreadv aaaembled to ke thslT ohanoes. The chunh la of auota Taat eitent, that with the yard oomUnod, In space there Is little left of a New York Mock: therefore we wlU suppose it occopl^ a block, Ibr the sake of almpUdty. An eitenslve railing aerved to keep the crowd at : |)M annl the proper lime for openug, when they nuhed tn pre- ' ctselyasboyadoatthegalleryentranceoftheBurTeyTheatre—bat thla waa only preliminary, for It waa another half honr ere the obuToh doors were nnfiutened. After geelng so much Joetllng and loUylng In the onl«r court, I was folly prepared for tne scene In the Inner one, though perhaps you ore not. Well,'then, to com' tnenoe, one of the "unordalned" started an harangue wUcb, 1 ngretto aay, set many giggling: one suggested be nsdn't dined, another wanted a change or note, while a: third Imagined blm a •looney." A profane wretch said quite audibly tnat It wasn't half so good aa "Old Mother Hubbard and bor Dog," at Sniry ' ijoM, tbereby raising a getaeral laugh at the exborter's eipenie. X must confess he waa about right, for the pleoa above-named baa had an extraordinary run, as I know, but it waa an aotof the ; gnssest prolinlty to give expression to such a thonght: It o^ ■ervea to show, of. what calibre mdst Spnrgeonltea are obmpceei b thla way, the motley assembly cracked their Jokea and amused themiielves until the beadle waa heard anfifrtenins the Inside lioUa,.when an extra pressure was made, and aa.the doors of the sacred edlfloe Hew open. In rushed the sinners like wild Indians, soiBmbllng, laughing, and chirruping untU Iklrly settled In the pews. I oonldaoaroelyreallie that we were In a house of worship even after calmly snryeying the interior, so much like a theatre la Iks dburol) construded; there are pit, gallery, and boxes, of wUcb' the pit ia moat expenaive; next the boxes, while certain parts of the gallery are tree. Mo tickets are sold forlsssthana month, and atflom a half-a-orown to live abilllngs; this,' I pre- «nme is the only tax to pay expenses, except ooDectlons tu special purposes. Around the boxes are numerous lights, about one toot apart, with plain globe over, - and -theae answer for pit as weu; in the gallery, gas JSti are fixed round every other pillar la the form of a star. fThat the style of architecture is, la mors than I can say, not being pasted enough In the Hne arts, but whether QreA, Briman, or BfypUan, it la perhapa immaterial to the mass of readara now addressed—suffloa it to say, Ur. Spurgeon's Tabernacle la, like him^if of original construction, Its dimenalona are as follcwa: length, Ul ft; width. 81 ft; height, 83 ft There are attUsn for MOO, and standing room for 1000 more—so yon can gueas wbat a BonftronsedlAeeitmuatbe. The pews have no dooie, and there w«ie no aedona to preaerve order—in fSct^ there is no room for •Uher, every visitor golnf in for a aeat "on.bis own book" or re- nonalbUity. I happeneoTto get a tolorable sitting in the gallery, (ni tay rl^t haind aat an exceedingly pretty lass, on my lefta aiy ar-rallsr, while behliid me stood—xomarkable oolnoidenoe I—Hr.

ItVas kinder <ineer, wasn't it? Uuoh mora ao than meetingwlth the "Haunted One" at Aleo Eeene's fno Sunday night in October last Having soms fifteen minutes to wait, and the damsel on my dextar side being quite sociable, (who ever saw a real handaome girl that waant?) we soon got In conversation tt>out the unaccountable mania for "seeing Snnrgeon;" I even ventured to assert that tbe . malcri^ amnoeda theatre or conceit room eveiy . other night, ' ana aonkowledgad belonging to that class myselt Instead of ' juanlfiBating snrprlas, the young beauty replied that it waa only ' the preceding Friday that eho vnanp all night ataball, adding thatahe didn't see the least barm In cnloylng one's aeU ration- .

But cor (e!e a Me was spoiled by a sudden uprising of all the gal- . lery folks, and tht Bgnrgeon at last <^ut in an appearance," aa- ' oended the pulpit atena, and took a seat on the sofh. The pulpit ' la not' exactly a pulpit either—it la merely a platform, carpeted, with a fliabt of steps on boUt sides; true, there Is a amalfdssk, . with a bottle of water and glaas thereon, but nothing more. On Ifr. Bpnrgeon'a right aat the elders and oholr, (for there la no organ or any Instrument whatever in the chuiob J and the ser- . vioes at once commenced.. The reverend gentleman opened by .glvlnf out a bymiD, etartlag the music of a good, old-fiahloned tune frequently heard in Bev. ' Sr. HaUeld's church on the Klnih Avenue. Those few provided with hymn-bookalolnod heart and aionl in tho anthem, WBlle Ur. Bpnrgeon gazed about him with a smiling countenance, occasion- ably adding emphasis to the singing by motions of his hand. Bvery versa was read by hiib previous to the mtialcal render- ing, to enable thCse of retentive memory to Join in. After the hymn, a chapter from the Bible followed, interspMed with short oonuienta on certain verses. Then a fervent prayer was offoMd np, so thrilling and natural that it seemed to touch every heart Another hvmn come next, but was very badly sung—In sbort too dlineult for the miscellaneous congregation. And now an Toioes are hnshod to a painful stijlneah as Ur. Bpurgeon advances to the balustrades of the platform. He told them tho singing .bad not been so good as he anticipated, but still it lifted his . soul heavenwards and made .him nappy. He then gave ont a list of weekly praye^moolings, with dueotions for those about to reoelVethe Holy Communion. It was not his intention topreach ' % Isngthy sermon; he would say of abdut half an hotir's dnratioD, - and ohose for bis text a verse from the epistle to the Hebrews, ' (the chapter I didn't hoar) viz; "Ho that booomes a sursbr must •aattfbrit" HS'hadn't time to enter minutely into the theme as.it dsacrved, yet made eomevory clever remarks and ^sonie aoaslng ones.
