 VARIETY.

Enthmiasn, aud dts efects.-There are many people who are never easy unless they are at tending some religious assembly; hearing ser mon, a lecture, or d prayer, going about to all kinds of missionary meetings, and all sorts of clerical s!nventlons, receiving exlortations, and perhaps making them; listening to the recital of experiences, and then in turn rcciting their own; crowding around show of Cherokee children. or converslng with convert from New Zealand; :; never easysin fact, unless while they are tres passing on their real duties, by the ruitess per formance eofimaginary ones. They must have the bell of the meeting house rung every other day. and the doors of the school house opened every other night; but their own house may take care ofsitseii.
 am pretty confident that motives of vanitu nave considerable influence over this class of deyotees. It is not enough that they are seen in the house of worship ono day in seven. Every body else is seen there too. and they are not noticed in the crowd. This gives them no dis tinction--they have nothing to do-people are on that day assembled together to worship God. and not to talk boutthemselyes; there IS no op- portunity to exercise any particular gifts, or 10 show off any remarkable graces At an anx- iouss or ssinquirys meeting, they can measure their spiritual growth withmuch apparent meek ness, and confess the vileness of theirnature and the enormity of their sins, with much real pride. and while they arc calling themselves sro1,ns. mean all the time that they are the chosen of Gods creatures.
 Another motive with number of these con stant frequenters of religious meetings, may De love of excitement, change, novelty, and gos- sping. That same residences of temperament, which is the root of ali dissipation, is also the origin of it's religious variety; for what is the spirit and essence of diss patton of any kind but perpetual desire of finding that pleasure abroad, which cannot he felt at home.

tain, that there is positive merit n attending re- lliglous meetings, apart from inc instructions which they afford They may imagine that this scrupulous and lncessant attendance will atone for other negi genccs and fill up some ugly blanks in thelr moral department: and that, therefore, it is prudent thing for them to com pound for duties with ceremonies, and divert the security of consience and of Heaven from the substance of the shadow to piety.
 Some people are always going to church, lec- ture and conference, because they have nothing else 10 do-tiiat is to say, because there is no- thing else that they will do; for if we were dis posed todo all our duty, we shall never lack 1 employment.
 am sure that very many of those who ass- 1 duously wait on the various assemblies and iex- ereises in connexion with religion, doso from the 1 persuasion that they are engaged in a high and actual duty and are performing what IS well pleasing in the sight of God. However muchI respect the feelings Of such peIsons-and do most sincerely respect then--l cannot but la ment their erroneous views: 1 cannot give up my conviction that thcirconduct proceeds from mistaken impressions.
 mean not to disparage the institutions of public and social religion. l delight 10 see village pointed out by its church spire. de- light to hear the voice fpraise filling the house of God. l delight to behold those who egoY. the blessings of Christianity, endeayoring to diff fuse them by every suituble meansn every pos sibleplace. But l hate to see man leaving his business ortrade to be instructed in the doc triae of total depravity, orto talk solemn fustian' with himself; and hate to see a woman take all her religion to church or eonyentele, and let her own house burn up if it will, with every thing in it, while she is dissolving in tears at some shocking story about the Hindoo widows who burn themselves. Oh! why will We not make religion the unreserved and smiling com panon of our hearts and our homes, and our du- ties, instead of forcing her to be the object of formal, and mysterious, and liieless ceremony.

Mid the scuptur'd pride of his ancient hall: Wake thy song fpr the bold and free. Ger the battles tide like trumpet call.

Then plaintveiy murmur gentlor strain, Pour on the Zephyr thy note of woe, Hill Beauty shall echo the sigh again, And the tear of Pity brin oerto flow. When, on their own pure battle ground, Thy sons shaiI muster with gleeming steel; Raise to the heavens thy lofty sound Shake the firm earth with thy martial peal. Wake the loud echoes of ey'ry vaie- Call the free from their mountain-home-- From rock from glen, and from lowly dale From their forest-lairby the torrents foam But where the last freeman sinks in death, And dying drops on the bloody plain; Blend thy last vail with his parting breath, And wake not note my harp again! s.
