INTERESTING ANECpoTE.

ST. PIERRE, in his celebrated work, " The
Studies Of Natire," thus introduces the follow
ing anecdote-It is impossible for virtue 20
sabsist independently of Religion. do not
mean the theatrical virtues, which attract pub
Inc admiration. BY virtue, 1 understand the
good which We Go men without expectation of
reward on their part, and frequently at the ex-
pense of fortune nay, even of reputation. Ana.
lyse all those whose traits have appeared to
you the most striking; there is no one OF them
but what points out Deity, nearer or more re
mote. shall quote one not generally known,
and singu!arly interesting, from its very OBJ
security.
Z" In the last war in Germany, captain of
cavalry was ordered out on foraging party. lie
put himself at the head OF his troop, & marched
to the quarter assigned him. 1t was solitary
valley, in which hardly any thing but woods
could be seen. In the midst of it stood lit
tie cottage; on perceiving it, he went up to the
door; out comes an ancient Hernouten, with a
beard silvered by age -" Fatber,'' saws the
officer, " shew me field where L can set my
troops foraging." &c Presently" replied the
HenoltcR. The good old man walked before,
and conducted them ont of the valley. After a
quarter of an hours march, they found fine
field of barley =" There is the very thing we
want" says the captain &c Have patience for
q few minutes" replied his guide, "you shall
satisficd."-They Went on, and at the dis
lance of about quarter of league further,
they arrived at another field of barley The
troop Immediately dsmounted, cut the grain,
trussed it up, and remounted. The officer up
on this, says to his conductor-' Father, you
have given yourself and US unnecessary trou-
BILE: the first field was much better than this"
" Very true, SIR, replied the good old man
"but it was not NINE"
This stroke goes directly to the heart. Ide-
fy AN ATHEIST to produce me any thing to be
compared with it.
