SIR
In your paper of to-day, you speak Of the Attor-
nev Generals having lost reputation during the late
trial as man of talent and education. The learned
gentleman's talents may be firstrate, but school
bow would be ashamed of his grammar. Take the
following example from his examination of a
French witness through an interpreter
"Ask her. when she first see the letters!v'
This was repeated twice in the same words-but
the lady very eloquent and did not give direct
answer. The learned attorney, therefore, for the
third time, said
Ask her when she first seen the letters!!!
So much for grammar. Subsequently, in address,
ing the jury, he exclaimed but this is not la case
that requires any rheto-rmicol display" / confess /

consequently decline doing any more than naming

By day-break the country around was

Fences, rocks, and every little eminence
of ground, were packed with people. The
trees were crowded with masses Of human
beings, who hung like bees from their
branches, and near the foot of the gal
lows, the earth was black with them, cram
med and wedged together, not foo not
ali inch to spare. There was great sea
of faces, turned up at one time to the tall
frame work above them; at another, to-
wards where the. far distant road wound
among the hills. Occasionally there was
a scuffie, and the mass rucked to and fro,
like forest waving before the wind; and

Private Prayer.

Those professors of religion, who are nnaccus'
toned to the daily practice of secret devotion,
constitute not a small part of the multitude who
are deceived There are many who attend the
public ordinances of religion, and who either
st atedy or occasionally, engage in social wor-
ship with the family, but whose religion does not
lead them to the closet, nor incline them to any
unobserved intercourse with heaven. These peo'
pie call themselves children of God, bnt their
pety comprises nothing so personal or particular,
nothing which so much distinguishes them from
the needless world, which renders the nope oil

Relating Experiences

A good thing rightly used; otherwise, fabus-
ed The Washingtonians are dong wonders by
means oft. 1t may be equally useful in the
church under proper regulations. We think it
very beneficial for candidate for church fellow
ship to relate his experience, once, in the hearing
of the church, that they know the reason Of the
hope that is in HIM, and be assured of his claims
to tho communion of the brotherhood. There
may be other circumstances in which it would be
iustiiable and even useful. But the constant
repetition, by the same person, of the same expe-
rience is fitted to bring experimental religion
into contempt. Our counsel IS, as general rule
never relate your experience more than once to
the same hearers-unless you have something
new to rehearse-unless yon can report progress.
