EXODUS OF THE FREE CHURCH.

The Boston Chronicle complies the fo!.
lowing account of this interesting event
from the description given by Mr.. Chal-
mers, of the Scotch delegation, at the Park,
street church:
On tho 18th OF last May, the sun shining
beautifully in the heavens, and the earth CO.
vered with the joys OF spring, the general
assembly of the church of Scotland met for
the last time as the established and united
church of the kingdom. The representa-
tive Of royalty, with his numerous train
was in attendance, to show tina, the church
is always subservient TO the state. The
moderator led in a solemn and most affect
ne prayer, and then proceeded TO readths

LOVE AND PRIDE.

How strange sometimes is the struggle
between love and pride; how the weak
human heart, believing itself generous and
disinterested, is influenced by considera-
tons of mercenary or at least worldly
character; how often do we deceive our.
selves as to motive, and cling TO the delu-
sion that we are acting for the benefit of
others in a spirit of benevolence and jus.
tice, when in truth the real spring of our
conduct may be traced to selfshness or
vanity; even our best affections are modi-
fled sometimes by those unworthy feelings,
and the beings of our love are made the
victims. when we would rather our right
hand should he stricken off than our af-
fections should be influenced by such un.
worthy motives. The sel6shness of our
nature is calculated to mislead and betrav.
to picture as virtue. much that is kindred
unto vice, and 10 recommend as ludicious
and proper, acts that are deeply imbued
with improper submissions TO artiice and
falschood, of pride, of fashion and society

solemn protest against the usurpations Of
the crown. During this reading the most
profound silence prevailed. AS soon as the
protest was ended, the moderator left his
chair, and led the revolied host towards the
door. Without, thousands were waiting
for their com;ng--some excaiming "they
will never come"--oihers replying, "they
will ceme-the blood Of Scotland runs yet
in the veins Of her sons''-they will come"
And they did come, and the living tide OF
dissent burst from the barriers Of oppres-
sion! rolled along between the living walls
that fell back on either side 10 make way
for the people Of God. In distant and
capacious hall the true and faithful from all
parts of the land had gathered to welcome
the church as she should come forth from
the sea and out Of the wilderness. The
shout Of the multitude from without, like
the voice of distant thunders, had already
reached their ears; and when the modera'
tor entered, supported by doctor Wardlaw
and doctor Chalmers, and follow by all
that was splendid in the genius, profound in
the learning, and fervent in the piety Of the
Scottish church, the song of gratitude peal
ed forth from quivering lips, and the tear OF
deep emotion rolled down the iron faces OF
mutitudes who never wept before. The
whole assembly felt that they were connect
ed in doing noble deed with all the great
and the good OF both worlds.

THE COON AND THE FOX.

OF all the gay tenants that live in the wood,
And dance by the light of the moon;
To say what is true, and stick to his word,
Boys give US the gallant old Coon!
To soy what is true and stick to his word,
Boys, give US the gallant old Coon!
He'll quietly hunt for persimmon or frog,
And no critter alive is more civil;
But on land or in water, if tackled by dog,
By the Lord sir, he'll fight like the Devil!
To say what is true, &c.
But the Fox, si:, both homer and courage doth lacks
i'ress HIM hard and he'll get "on the fence;'
Your poultry ho'll steal, and then stake the b1ck
track"
Swearing honor and truth are nonsense!
To say what is true &c.
Once he lived with Lion, confding and brave,
And made the old Monarch believe,
This friend was traitor, and that one knave,
While he laughed all the time in his sleeve!
TIE say what is true, &c.
Thus wheedled, the Lion resigned him his throner
And the fox mounted up with grin,
To think how he had risen by cunning alone.
To the seat where the Lion had been.
To say what is true, &c.
The Coons, all indignant, exposed the deesit,
And drove the sly rarm,ipt away;
To his den on the Hu's m he m,de his retreat,
To drag out his life under CLAY!
To say what is true, and stick to his word,
Boys, give US the gallant old Coon!
