TIE CONQUEST OF RELIGION.
IIAsKEYT." :"

OF its most difficult conquests, indeed,
a large portion is overlooked by tho hu-
man eye. While the evil done in its
name is seen by all, and dwclt upon in
triumph by the adversary--its pure and
holy conquests are often effected in still
ness and silence; in the abode Of power
ty--in the obscurity of humble and re-
tired life. Who is there that has seen a
true Christian, in his life and in his
death /? Who, that has seen the holy
calm that sheds itself over that soul,
where grace has triumphed over passion; !;
where envy, and hatred, and pride, are
sounds unknown Who, that has seen
the bright and holy glow Of devotion DIFF
fused over the countcnance? Who, that
has heard the fervid accents of a Chris
tian's prayer? Who, that knows the joy
Of christians communion with his Ma
ker; the devout aspirations Of soul
which is the temple of the Holy Spirit
adorned and sanctied by his best and
richest gifts and graces9 Who, that has
seen the christian struggling with the
storms Of life-though cast down, not de-
stroyed; though perplexed, not in des-
pair; submitting with humble resignation
to the correction Of his Heavenly Father,
and gathering the peuceable fruits oi
righteousness from the seeds which were
sown in tribulaton and tears? And yc,
morc--who, that has seen that sight or
which angels gaze with Joy; that hal.
lowed bed where a christian renders w
his soul, as to faithful Creator; where
with no vain display, no idle rapture, the
dying saint, knowing, Of truth, that he
is faithful who promises, relies in the
last awful scenes Of life, with humble
confidence on that hand which ha.
borne him through all the storms ant
struggles Of his earthly pilgrimage, ant
which will now cheer and comfort him
in his passage through the dark valley
of the shadow Of death ? This is, no
what Christianity can do, but what i
does day by day; not what it does for Tho
learned and enlightened christian only
but what it does, to shed light and JOY
over the humble abode of the lowly ant
ignorant.

MISCELLANY.

SERpENTs IN A PILE IN SoUTH-AMERi-.
CA. In the say vannahs Of Izacube; in Gui-.
ana, saw the most wonderful, the most
terrible spectacle that can be seen; and
although it be not uncommon TO the IN
habi.ants, no traveller has ever mention
ed it. We were ten men on horseback,
two Of whom took the lead, in order to
sound the passage; whilst | preferred to
skirt the great forests. One of the blacks
who formed the vanguard, returned full
gallop, and called to me, 'here, sir,
come and see serpents in pile" lie
pointed out to me something elevated in
the middle Of the savannah or swamp,
which appeared like bundle of arms
One Of my company then said, "This is
certainly one Of the assemblages OF SER
penis which heap themselves on each
other, after violent tempest; | have
heard Of these but have never seen any /;
let us proceed cautiously, and not 60 too
near" We continued our way slowly;
l fixed my eyes on the pyramid which
appeared immovable. When we were
within 90 PAGES Of it, the terror Of our
nOESCS pTtNcutCu OuI
to which, however, none of US were in
clined.
On a sudden, the pyramid mass be-
came agitated; horrible Kissing issued
from it; thousands of serpents rolled spi-
rally on each other, shot forth out OF the
circle their hideous heads, presenting
their enyenomed darts and fiery eyes to
US. own was one of the first to draw
back; but, when saw this formidable
phalanx remained at its post, and appear
cd more disposed to defend itself than to
attack US, rode roand it, in order to
view its order Of battle, which faced the
enemy on every side. l then sought tc
find what could be the design Of this nu.
merous assemblage; and concluded thai
this species Of serpents dreaded some
colosscan enemy, watch might be the
great serpent, or the cayman, and tha
they re-unite themselves, after having
seen this enemy, in order 20 attack or re
sist him in mass Humboldt.

Terrific Combat.

About o'clk. in the forenoon, we cast
anchor in the Burchurra Nudde, with an
extensive forest on both sides; when at a.,
bout hundred yards from us,an alligator
came out of the river to enjoy his noon
tide sleep in the rays of the sun. After
remaining there about half an hour ap-
parently in sound sleep, we observed
an immense tiger emerging from the
jungle, and bending his steps towards us,
striped with white, his fierce eyes, with
amazing apparent strength Of his limbs,
made the stoutest heart on board tremble
at the thought of encoantering such a
dreadful foe. With the most cautious
pace imaginable the tiger approached
the alligator, his raised foot remained up
for some seconds before he replaced it
on the ground and so he proceeded till
he came within the power Of his leap,
when excrting all his strength and bound
ing from the earth, he descended imme-
diately upon the allgator's back, and
selzed it by the throat. The monster of
the deep reused from It's slumber, opened
its tremendous jaws and lashed its ter
rifle tail and while the conflict lasted
each seemed to exert his utmost strength
The tiger, however, had the advantage,
for he had grasped the alligato in part
Of the neck, which entirely prevented
him from turning his head sufficiently
round to seize his antagonist, and though
many severe blows were inflicted on the
body of the tiger, by its saw-lke tail, the
noble beast of the forest, when the bat
tie was concluded shook his brawny tail,
and seemed unconscious of any pain
Having overcome the alligator, he drag
ged it little farther on the shore and
sat over it exactly in the attitude
Of cat over captive mouse he then
took the creature in his mouth and gent
ly walked with it into the jungles. About
ten minutes after, we saw the tiger
emerge from the forest and after gazing
at us for few minutes and perhaps i'm
agining that we were almost too far from
the shore 10 allow him to add us 10 the
number Of his trophies Of victory and
blood he slowly pursued his course in O
different direction 10 where he had lcn
his prey, and we saw him no more. Ir
less than an hour afterwards the alip atol
which had been stunned but not killed
crept out Of the jungle, and though evi
IDENTITY much injured, yet with some dif
ficulty reached the river. He however
was too much lacerated to remain long II

STANZAS.

We parted in silence, we parted by night,
On the banks of that lonely river,
Where the fragrant lines their boughs unite,
We met--and we-parted forever;
The night bird sang. and the stars above
Told many a touching story
OF friends long passed to the kingdom Of love,
Where the soul wears its mantle Of glory.
We parted in silence-our clieeks were wet
With the tears that were past controlling;
We vowed we would never-no, never forget;
And those vows at the time were consoing.
But the lips that echoed the vow Of mine
Are as cold as that lonely river;
And that eye, the beautiful spirit shrine
Has shrouded its fires forever
And now on the midnight sky look,
And my, heart grows full to weeping,
Each star is to me d sealed book,
Some tale Of that loved one keeping;
We parted in silence-we parted in tears;
On the bank ofthat lonely river;
But the color and bloom Of hose by-gone year
Skall hang o'er its waters forever"
