not that, beneath yon close fitting cap and
dainty green spectacles, you catch the twinkle
Of an unquiet eye. Out on your false judg-
ment. Sir Skcptc. You are but looking into
the depth Of your own spirit, where oil imPu-
rites luxuriate in rank prolusion; and thot
maiden, as she swells with her gentle voice
the sounding chorus,
"This is the path our Saviour trod,
This Is the only way TO God"
is as certain that she has cruciied all earthly
affections, and is indeed the ''only way to
God" (bigot blush not for her. but for your
self!) as Il the Pope or Archbishop of Can
terbury. Twill stake my head that her con-
viction is stronger and clearer than theirs.
The power Of excitement and Of sympathy
is too hackneyed theme for any thing beyond
passing remark. But here the working Of
the principle upon the unsophisticated may
be observed TO perfection. When the "labor"
commenced, the maidens of tender yet wo-
manly years evidently felt little of something
like embarrassment al the presence, though
accustomed, Of so many strangers. Their
conviction that they were doing God service
was not shaken, yet there was evidently
feminine dread Of nisapprehension and ridi-
Guile; a spice Of it only, and chastened down
to the neighborhood Of nothing, but still feel
ins--which no breast Of innate modesty and
truth can ut once calmly and wholly discard
that their worship would seem amusinely
absurd to that mob Of profane eyes and god
less Enthusiastically as they passed round
in procession, within breath of the masculine
multitude, who formed wall in close prox-
unity to their path, you could mark the rising
of faint tinge Of rudder hue upon those else
colorless aud passonless features, eyincing
that their existence had not yet become all
spiritualor vegetable; that beneath that eaden
coffin Of the heart, yet lurked the embers of
human emotion. The vestals Of ripper mai
denhood condescend to no such struggling
weakness. They had no thought but for One.
But as the exercises proceeded, and devotion
became enthusiasm, all distinction was lost;
and the young and fair were only remarkable
among their elders by their excess Of lervor,
or perhaps Of physical power. AT length,
what was measured dance. becomes a wild,
discordant frenzy; all apparent design or re-
gulation is lost and grave manhood and gen.
tier girlhood are whirling round, two or three
in company, then each for him or herself, in
all the attitudes Of decupitated hen, or an
expiring peg top. The scene and its interests
grow painful and am glad that the crazy
woman has at length made her way back into
the tabernacle, and commenced her strangely
shrill and discordant music. The spell is dis
solved: an elder proclaims that "the assem-
bly, is dismissed !" the multitude escaped TO
their merriment, and to my meditation.

THE MAINE ELECTIONS.

The canvass is going on there with great deal
OF zeal Not little interest is felt by all parties in
the contest from the fact that Maine is the Eastern
Congressional District, and in her Governor and
Legislature, first set nat Ball in notion which has
been rolling down Van Burenism for the year past.
The Portland Advertiser thus eoqucnty encourages
the people TO the contest
"Freemen of Maine,--it was you who began this
revolution, and now from the ST. Lawrence to the
Gulf OF Mexico sister states have noby respond
ed 10 your patriotic defence of your country and her
institutions. Louisiana upon the south west has
responded to Maine on the north east The citizens
IL The Union have together met and together sung
The song Of triumph. In the name of liberty, reason
and Law, let Maine, with DiRIGo for her motto, echo
back those conquests and again take the van in the
battle oi the Union"
