.IcsSrS. Editors. On Sabbath morning "a T
was returning from visit to a relation accommodates
by young friend, our attention suddenly ares
ted by the mingled sound Of many voices near the
highway, which, upon nearer approach, we ascer-
tanned to be gathering OF coloured people, (sIayes)
assembled in the worship oil God.
Never having before witnessed such an assem-
blage, nor heard the doctrines asserted or the morals
proposed that this benighted people acknowledge.
(indeed, the truth Isl did not expect TO hear any
code OF the one or the other) curiosity prompted
me to propose to my companion that we should
become witnesses Of the scene.
The spot chosen for the meeting was the shade
afforded by an aged locust tree that seemed but half
to shelter the congregation from the rays of the
sun. AS We approached the crowd, every eve SEEM
ed fixed upon US with tremulous anxiety, and
their expression told me that the COMPANY was
agitated with the fear that we came to disturb them
AnSIous to undeceive them, we seated ourselves on
the green sward that grew beneath our feet deter
mined to give to the service the most respectu ar
tention. The company standing, and we seated.
prevented my yet seeing the oracle of the day whilst
distinctly heard his annuncation of the unfinished
psalm. 1t was delivered in clear aud impressive
tone of voices with proper cadence and nearly with
grammatical precision; so much so, that now felt
exceedingly anxious to the face ofihe preacher.
But as the slightest movement by US might have
been misconstrued, we retained our seats till he
psalm was finished, when all was the most deathhke
silence' Nothing remained but TO divert the
company from my young friend and myself although
humbly seated as were in the midst of them, all
seemed yet distrust, not unmxed with dismay, ex-
oept with the preacher. He now arose, and with
perfect equanimity, in a short but perspicuous
sxordium, claimed the attention of his congregation
reminding them that they had s. assembled there

THE FARMER AND TIE COLyNSELL0
A Counsel in the Common Pleas,
Who was esteemed mighty wit,
Upon the strength of chance hit
Amid a thousand fippancies,
And his occasional bad jokes
In bullying, bantering, browbeating,
Ridiculing and maltreating
Women or other timid folks,
In late cause resolved to hoax
A clownish Yorkshire farmer-one
Who by his uncouth look and gait,
Appeared expressly meant by Fate
For being quizzed and played upon,
So having tipped the wink to those
In the back rows,
Who kept their laughter bottled down
Until our wag should draw the cork,
He smiled loosely on the clown,
And went to work.
