THE LESSON.
A TALE OF DOMESTIC LIFE.
BY A sKErcHrR.

Three young ladies were seated in a
rich apartment. They were the Misses
Amanda and Emma Ellis, and their cousin
Delilah Charleton. The latter was engaged
in the womanly occupation of sewing; the
two former in discussing, critically ball
at which all three had been present the
preceding evening.

our correspondents have given US, the plain,

Judge has succeeded in an eminent degree in
satisfying the people of the truth and justice
of the side he advocates, and has completely
neutralized the effect which the bold asser-
tons, visionary defamation and sophistical
arguments of Mr.. Freeman were calculated
to produce upon an ignorant auditory. Mr..
Freeman, we understand was unable TO fill
his appointments at Canton, Lexington, Tchu-
la and Yazoo City, owing TO an attack of bron-
chitis, produced from speaking in the open
air. Ii is said that he would have rested soon
err, but that he feared the wings would say
Judge Hughes had run him off the track
Mr. Freeman need have no uneasiness upon
that score. 1t is true, that when Judge Hughes
was suddenly called out of the State by the
unexpected indisposition of his family, the To-
cofoco papers, with meanness almost unpar-
alleled, asserted that he had gone off to keep
from meeting Mr.. Freeman. The wings never
resort to such low tricks to injure an adversa-
ry, or to carry measure. We understand
that Judge Hughes good naturedly tells his
opponent that his sickness and the illness OF
old "Talabola" are judgments sent upon them
for their blindness and perversity upon the
bond question.
Judg e Shattuck met with Judge Hughes at
Yazoo City, and they have, together, address
sed the people in Holmes and Yazoo counties
A correspondent thus writes us of Judge Shat.

priety of nominating Judge Shattuck, but
others had. Ifany entertain such views now

CONDUCTED BY
PROF. 3. SILLIMAN & B. SILLIMAN, JR.,
YALE COLLEGE.
ENIIE Editors of this Journal, wish to call pub
Il lie attention to the fact that they will hereaf-
ter on the conditions stated below, frank the Nos to
all of their subscribers who receive the work direct
ly from them by mail. Their object in making this
offer, is to place those persons who are so situated
that they cannot take the work through an agent,
and therefore free of charge of transportation on
the footing in this respect with city subscribers
Subscribers by mail have heretofore paid from 81 to
Sl37 per annum for postage which has been suf
cient consideration to induce many to decline taking
the work. Now that this objection is removed upon
the simple condition of punctual remttanccs, the
Editors confidently hope that the number of their
mail subscribers will be much increased and they
make apology to their present supporters and CON
rbutors, for asking their assistance in aiding them
to sustain this experiment, by making this notice
more public, and by inducing their friends to sub
scribe.
Experience has proved that the mail is by far the
best Of conveyance to distant subscribers the
most sure and most speedy; and all attempts to es-
tablish agencies at distance, and away from the
great lines of transportation have utterly faedde-
lay and dissatisfaction and often abandonment of the
work being the result
The American Journal of Science and Arts is
published at New Haven, Connecticut. Each num-
Der contains at least 200 pages, closely and hand
somely printed on good paper, and fully illustrated
by engravings. The subscription is Sc in advance,
by mail. The extra dollar beyond the usual price
of the literary quareries is indispensable, on ac-
count of more limited patronage, and the great
expense of engravings.
Remittances should be made if possible in Eastern
money, but if that cannot be obtained, the best bills
which can be had may be substituted, and no dis
count will be charged upon them.
Subscribers will remember the regulation of the
Post Office Department. by which Postmasters are
authorized to remit payments for periodicals free of
postage. if the letter containing the remittance is
written by themselves.
All letters and remittances directed to the Editors
of the American Journal of Science and Arts, New
Haven Ct, will receive prompt attention.
N. B.-Subscribers who wish to avail themselves
of the free postage, must that their accounts are
not in arrears; when such is the fact the Editors
cannot pay the postage.
CT Advertisements are inserted on the customary
rates. and the European circulation of the work rem
ders it desirable vehicle for the advertisements

ence, can be more impressive than the
worthless worship of the Mussulman.-
There are, with him, no affected tones of
humanity, no confident accents of Pharis.
saical assurance, no irrepressible ecstacies
over cancelled sin, no smothered agonies
over unforgiven guilt. His emotions are
all calm, concentrated, and deep; he kneels
and prays as if there was no being in the
universe, save the high and inscrutable
One whom he addresses. When the hour
of prayer arrives he permits no embarrass>
ments connected with the presence or dis.
positions of others to deter him from his
devotions; he asks no permission to be
devout, offers no apology for his creed,
proposes no compromise with levity or
prejudice; but Immediately Withdrawing
his mind from all visible objects, bows
himself to the earth, and brealhs forth his
applications from the silent depth of his
soul. Let the christian who stands in such
awe of the opinions of others, or whose
piety so nicely consults occasions, that he
can never be devout except in the church,
look to the Mussulman his unfaithfuIness
and pusllanimity must be put to the blush
by the department of one who acts under
the impulses of a mistaken, prescribed
faith. TO the dishonor of christendom. II
must be confessed, that were a follower of
Christ to be as punctual and uncompromi-
sing, in the discharge of his religious
duties, as disciple of Mahomet, he would
be regarded as stern fanatic.
But what is it that makes religion in a

be Invested OF its sanctity, life, and stern>
ness; it should be represented as young

There would then be an affection for her

THE PRESYDEJrE
Speak for thou hast voice, perpetual sea
Liz up thy surges with some signal word,
Show where the pilgrims Of the waters be,
For whom nations thrilling heart is stirred
Down to thy waves they went in joyous pride,
They trod with stedfast feet thy bilowy way,
The eyes Of wondering men behed them glide
Swift in the arrowy distance where are they!
Didst thou arise upon that mighty frame, s[strive,
Mad that the strength Of man with thee should
And. proud thy rival elements to tame,
Didst swallow them in conscious depths alive?
Or shorn and powerless, hast thou babe them lie,
Their stately ship carcass Of the foam,
Where still they watch the ocean and the sky,
And fondly dream that they have yet home!
Doth hope stl seothe their souls or sadness thrill!
Is peace amid those wanderers Of the foam?
Say, is the old affection yeaming still
With all the blest memories Of home?
Or is it over! Life, and breath, and thought,
The living creature and the breathing form!
Is the strong man become thing of nought,
And the rich blood of rank no longer warm!
Thou ansverest not, thou stern and naughty sea
There is no sound in earth, or wave, or air.
Roll on ye tears! Oh, what can comfort be
Tohearts that pant for hope, but breathe despair
Nay, noumer, there is sunlight on the deep,
A gentle rainbow on the darking cloud;
A voice, more mighty than the floods, will sweep
The shore Of tempests when the storm is loud
What though they woke the whirlwinds of the west,
Or reused the tempest from his eastern lair,
Or clave the cloud with thunder in its breast
Lord of the awful waters, Thou vert there;
All merciful! the fate--the day-were thine;
Thou didst receive them from the seething sea;
Thy love too deep. Thy mercy too divine,
70 quench them in an hour unworthy Thee.
If storms were mighty, Thou vert in the gale!
II their feet failed them, in Thy paths they trod !!
Man cannot urge the bark, or guide the sail,
Or force the quivering helm away from God!
