ulation of the section Of country through
which they were passing, was composed OF
rough and uncouth materials, and 1t hao
been romored that travellers had suffered
fatal violence from them when thrown With
! in their power. AS regular inns were un'
known, our travellers were compelled TO
trust the hospitality Of those of whom they
could uot but entertain a secret tear. On
ONE occasion as the evening closed in, they
sought a lodging place in 4 log CABIN Tar
removed from other habitations. They an
,icipated but little comfort, and various ap'
pearances induced them to believe, that 1t
would be a measure of safety for each OF
them to watch alternately through the night.
As thew were about to retire however to
their rude bed, their hos, whose exterior
had excited their diStrust, proceeding to a
shelf took down an old and much worn Bi:
bic, and informing his visitors thatlt was his
custom to worship God in his family, he
read and prayed in so simple and sincere
manner as to secure the esteem of the tra-
vellcrs. They retired to rest, slept soundly
and thought no more Of alternate watching.
IN the morning our acquaintance addressing
his nfdel companion, required hln as an
he.est man to say, whether the religious ex-
crcises Of the preceding evening, had not
dispel!ed every particle of dis!rust Of their
hosts character, and had not enabled lin
to close his eyes in the most confident Sc
curity? He was evidently embanas sed by
the question, but at length candidly acknow.
lodged, that the sight of the Bible had sect.
red him a sound nights rest. Here was a
testimony extorted to the excellent moral
influence of the religion which he.sceptica!-
ly assallod. He could not, for moment,
harbor a fear of violence from one who
was in the habit of daily bending the knee
before God-theve.y erection of the family
altar, rendered the house a secure asylum.

Extorted Testimony.

For the purpose of illustrating the secret
respect which is entertained by infdels for
apure and consistent Christianity, We relate
the following incidents, which have never
appeared in print. They may serve to.
show that q testimony which under ordinary
circumstances would be studiously withheld,
stay by the force Of circumstances be ex.
torted.-
la one Of the hourishing towns of a dis
tatt state, resided two gentlemen Of high
professional standing, but of inhdel princl:.
pies. In habits of the closest intimacy, they
encouraged each other, not only in deter
mined opposition to the spread Of religion,
Iptin tho most profane mockery Of its doc.
trines, institutions and tendencies. A third
individual in the town, likewise possessing
influence, but OF. truly consistent Christian
character, was the principal object of their
profane jests. They pretended to hold his
religion in utter contempt, and often made
merry in ridicu!ing his superstition and ia
naticism. How sincere and hearty they
were. in trusting their own principles may
be learned from the sequel. In the course
of time one Of them was attacked by fatal
. disease, and died without any happy change
in his religious views. On opening his will,
if was ascertained that he had entrusted the
settlement OF his estate to the pious man,
and that his infidel friend was not mention.
el as an executor! If an action could
sssak, this spoke loudly of his distrust of
infdel principles, and Of his secre. conf
dence in those of Christianity. He could
not rek upon the honestyof his boon com.
panion, but he had no fear of the integrity
of the man whose religion he had been ac
c,,stomed to riIiculc. We much mistake
if every other infdel under similar circum
stances, would not make a similar choice
The other incident to which we ereferred
is equally corroborasive ofthe respect which
Christianity exsorts from its opposers. A
gentleman Of on;acquaintance had occa
Sion to travel through a new and thiny set
tied part Of the western country. His ira
ve!lirg companion was gentleman OF IN
seiIeencc. but of infidel principles, who was
fond Of discussion, and ready to beguile ths
way, in urging arguments against the truth
