FAsmroNABLE CHRIsTIANrTy.-- kec.
ping a pew at some genteel church OF
chapel, to which ladies pay ciyilyisli
when the weather is fine, when they
have got new bonnet or pelissc to dis
play, and smart livery servant TO fol-
low them with prayer.book. They
courtesy very low at the mention OF
the Lords name, making the homage
OF the knees a substitute for that Of the
heart and duly receive the sacrament
which, by stranger perverslon OF
ideas, they look upon as a proof of the
sincerity of their belief, and an abso-
luton for the laxity Of their practice.
Fashionable male Christianity, is
demonstrated by an occasional nap in
a cushioned and carpeted pew; in
cheerfully paying Easter offerings and
Church dues in maintaining a certain
decency Of appearance and more es-
pecially in hating those who presume
to differ in matters of religion. That
they possess the outward and visible
signs of Christianity, both sexes exhi-
bit incmtestibe proofs but MS to the
inward and spiritual grace, they leave
it to the vulgar aud the fanatical. They
are too polite to travel Zionward in
such company, and would rather sacri.
flee heaven altogether, than reach it
by any ungenteel mode. Provided
they may be among the exclusive here,
they will cheerfully run the risk Of be-
ing among the excluded hereafter.
Christianity will never have recelv-
ed its full development, and have ac'
complished its final triumph, until its
spirit shall have surrounded its cere-
monlals, and the reformed religion
shall have undergone a new and more
searching reformation.

if we had, the nature Of the country

reverse the process, dismount our dra-

infantry. 1t was manifest, however,
that the presence of the cavalry had
the effect Of keeping the enemy in the
hammock, where, at the same time,
that arm of the service was impractl'

and defective. This precluded the
possibility Of our employing another

and the excellence of his commodity.
Honest JIMMY CHARcoALl-he is re-
moved from among the quick, and
numbered with those who have jumped
from the shoal Of time, into kingdom
come. He was a cheerful, good heart
ed citizen; and though he certainly
did not move in the first circles, yet
he spread light and heat wherever he
went--not by his person, however; for
if ever there was a man who looked
like a plenipotentiary fresh from the
court Of Tophet, Jimmy was that indl-
vidual. Well, as have said, he had
most vocilerous horn, and unremitt-
ing were the blasts which he protrud-
ed through the same upon the general
ear. At last, some evil disposed clti-
zens, having no taste for music, went
to his honor, the Mayor, and lodged
grievous complaints against the dlstin-
guished horneSt, / use musical term
setting forth that he disturbed the pub
lie bosom with his soul-stirrlng instru-
ment. After such an accusation, he
was brought before the great munich
pal functlonary, and received stern
and awful reprimand. Jimmy stood
the rebuke as if Satan had not only al
lowed him his own color, but also his
courage. His reply was cogent and
conclusive: Look here, your hon

by no means, to complain of them ere

Folks in my line can bear upwards of

without changing color or gettin' mad.
But do say, that axes them as char

way. The officer could no more

confinement of the town, / procured !

first rode four or FIVE miles west, and
then turned south with the intention
Iof visiting Du Buque's grave. After
riding four or five miles farther, came
to beautiful little valley opening up.

miles or two and i halfbelow town, il

Wa no sslife upon the waters, Tor,
iSr as the eye could reach, there was

But ID the. little creek which A have

were il il Frenchmen, with their
pipes. One them propelled the ca-
noe, and the other sat quietly III the
stern with his rod and line. hut as far
as / could see, without success. Then
i looked beyond the river; but all !
could sec was narrow and apparently
very rich bottom, d few houses and one
or two excellent farms, and, beyond
these, the bluffs, the combinations Of
the ridges on the western side. These
hills must have been once united; but,
ages ago, they were disrupted BY some
mighty and terrible CONFUSION. ltsmay
have been BY an earthquake; It may
have been BY a.fiood; or the wide space
: : between the eternal hills may have
been as It IS now, when the universe
came from the hands Of its Creator, who
made the mountains to rise, the valleys
(, to sink, and the rivers to flow.
! Two or three miles above, lay the
populous and Aourishing town which l
had Just left. But what added its high
est glory to the scene, was, that the
sun was midway in the western hea-
.vens, and the atmosphere was in its
finest and purest state of vision, and
there was light wind playing by, as
ifthe Spirit Of the Universe was breath
ing its sweet influence over and around
all.
But the grave-what was that? There
was no mansolcum nor even slab OF
marble there. A stone wall, enclosing
space about six feet long and three
/ wide, two feet high, and covered by =
light roof, contains his ones:-thoug'
l have been told that the bones whsl,
are seen are not his but those Of aaln- 4
dian. At the head Of the grave stnds &

name, the timeof his death and p age.
