 .Mr. Editor.-This isa world oftricks. Most of us, (poor souls) live by trick, and i am sure many of us arc doomed to die by trick. But perhaps, of ssall the tricks of ofsingularity' which are atternpt- ed to be played of upon simple men that ssspeak right on,n the tricks Of afIeetation are most.silly and disgusting. Every man, and, almost every woman, with equal sorrow and diflidence be 1t said9 has some fault or falling or other; but then, Ii frequently happens that sin gle fault serves as a foil to set off some valuable accomplishment, and therefore does not make the person absolutely con temptible.
 In my view, the worst kind of alfecta- tion is that of religion. Affectation in general, is not only ridiculous-but in religion t is criminal Like the soIem- nity of an oath, it then seems to appeal to heaven to attest its truth. The pi- oassubje miserable aaeetation,is to be seen choosing the lowest seat in the synagogue, and he is ever constant. Sin season and out of season. 2 to let the poor sinful world know how good he is. Even his air, dress and manner, betoken the utmost humility and self abandon ment. It may be true, that, like Shy lock, he "waits upon his bonds,n but that is only because tho Scriptures say. that ttE'iissstt he who provides not for his own household Is worse than ali iinlidei.
