SMALL BUT POWERFUL.—The moths have succeeded in shutting up one of our most fashionable churches for the season. It seems that these troublesome little creatures have been multiplying in the new and elegant meeting-house on Boylston street (Dr. Gannet's) until it has become necessary to close the house and strip it of all its upholstery, in order to save it from utter ruin, to say nothing of the clothing of the attendants. May not this fact be taken as a living illustration of the Scriptural injunction, that it is better to lay up treasures in Heaven, "where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt" than to put them in palatial and fashionable churches which rather tend to exclude the meek and lowly?—Wide World.
