peculiar 10 Camp-M ceilings. In every
religious revival these excrescences
make their appearance. To lop them
off without wonnding the main trunk of
-piely, requires nice hand, guided by a
prudence which falls to the lot of but
few. Time and experience will correct
the most OF them. 1t ought to be recol-
lccted, however, that luxuriant growth
is proof of rich soil. But it is to be
suspected that many who make this OBJ
lection, know not what thcy mean. Pas
sions are some of the constituents OF
man. He cannot exist without them
Whenever, therefore, he is moved in the
pursuit of an object of importance to
him, whether it be religion or any thing
else, his passions are enlisted. And why
should these passions be considered as
perfectly harmless when temporary good
is the object of pursuit, and only repre-
hensibie when religion is concerned?
Sorrow, fear, hatred, love, grief, joy, are
all excited, whenever the heart is pow
eriully moved by the influence OF Gods
Spirit. And the result OF this happy in
iluence is, when yielded to by the sinner,
the fixing his passions upon right objects.
They may, it is granted, be carried to
excess, and lead the subject of them to
indulge in unseemly gestures, and I'M
PROPOSE ..-r ressions: but this excess may
be corrected by a judiciouo application
of that discipline which the word of God.
under the management OF sober, en-
lightcncd judgment, furnishes. After
all, how high the flame of divine love
may rise, and how diffusve it may be-
come, and how much OF that which is
deemed regularity by man, may be con-
sidered order in the sight of God, who
can tell!

virtues of Rye Coffee, and instructions

we are poorly qualified to speak Of the

He speaks OF diseases, which are caused
by arrangement Of the digestive func-

and mixture of food and drinks taken in.

ss'In short, I found more places OF

We feel it relief to turn our eyes
from convillsed Europe, the scene Of
solemn hypocrisy and triumphant villa
ny, to the cheering aspect Of the United
States, enjoying, under their pure and
benign institutions, an untroub!ed calm,
like that OF the heavenly bodies, and ri
valiing these bodies in the serenity and
consistency of their course, and, we hope
in the stability of their existence. Feel
ing as we do, that the whole human race
has a deep interest in the prosperity OF
that country, we are always eager 10 re-
ceive. the statements CT impartial travel
lers with regard to its condition; and
we gladly embrace the opportunity
which the book we baye quoted offers,
to lay before our readers-not any new
statistical facts, but the testimony Of an
intelligent eye witness to its growing
prosperity, and to the happy effects Gifts
political Institutions.
II is Justly observed, by this enlighten-
ed aud eloquent writer. thatthe English
people have been as Ill represented in
America as at home.-Few British ira
vellers who have visited that continent
have been qualified either to do justice
to the country they protested to describe,
or credit to that which sen. them forth.
The best OF them, in their best efforts to
the liberal, have seldom been able to
shake off entirely the "bcggarly clc-
menis" of the old world.
Hence the strange misrepresentation
which prevail among us, and unsettls
mems opinions on prospecting country,
with 10 millions of inhabitants, some see
nothing but forests, bears, and rattle
snakcs-in the intelligent and virtuous
husbandmen Of the Republic, they see
nothing but drunken boors-in her free

in her Congress, nothing but dema-
gogues-and in her mild and equitable
Government, nothing but weakness and

are not surprising. Fifty years ago., had

| Mr.. Jonathan Hoehandte in Vermont.
lDbar Uncle Jonathan,
| L now take my pen in hand to write to I.
you, to inform you that | got here as SAFE
as thief in mill two days after | lett
you and the rest OF my friends at Pursley-
town, / was crammed into the stage
wagon where the passengers where as
thick as hops, and the jouncing OF the We
hicai made me as sick as death, yet am
now, by the blessing Of heaven, perfectly
recovered, and feel as hearty as buck.
| have procured new suit OF clothes,
which set as sleek as whistle, and ac-
tually believe ifmy old companions were
to see me now, as sure as a gun, they
wouldn't know me. The gentleman
with whom am living on trial is as
sour as a crab, but TO make some amends
for his III nature, his wife is as pleasant
as basket of chips, and his daughters
are as lively and smart as whip, though
to say the truth, one OF them is as homely
as chest of carpenters tools. don't
think shall tarry With him, for he is
as sharp as needle, and as fretful as a
hedgehog if l let customer so out OF
the shop without trading. He says a
merchants clerk should have tongue
as smooth as oil and be able to lie with
out blushins-shat he should be as linn
Der as weasel, and be as full OF bows
when lady comes into the shop a as
doS is of Aeas.. Iam.sure my back aches
like the rheumatism every night, though
for all that sleep as sound as a roach.
Sunday went to hear Mr.. S*xs** preach,
who, The man | live with says, is the only
minister here that breaches the gospel,
sho' thought he appeared as proud as Lu-
offer, and as unlike our minister as chalk
is to cheese. | don't think his preaching
does much good in our family. Mr.
came home the other night from confer
ence meeting as drunk as a iddlers deg,
lathered his wife like sack, and beat the
girls till they were as blue as indigo. He
prays every morning to be sure, as fer
vently as saint, with face as long as a
hay pole, though when irritaied he
swears like a trooper, and when he tells
thewomen howmuch his goods cost him,
he winks as fast as a toad under currant-
bush. Monday was muster, but | was
as busy as a bee all the morning, and had
no chance to see the parade till it rained,
and the troops were then as wet as drown
ed rats. Some of the officers were disap-,
pointed, and looked as sour as bonny-
clapper. But they all went to the thea
tire in the evening, and there they looked
as bright as button. Iwish dear uncle,
that you could have been with me at the
play. Those players we had at Parsley
town last winter were as shabby as singed
cats compared with those at the theatre.
The dresses Of the actors are covered
with sort of ornaments which make
them shine like barn door III frosty
morning, and they hop about the stage
like parched pea on sllingle. Mr..
Linchpin, the teamster, is waiting for this
and | am obliged to break off as short as
goats tail. Remember me to aunt Hoe
handle, Cousin Houseleek, and to old
Mr.. Beetlering, and believe me now as
ever
Your dutiful nephew,
