My unknown, ancient, honored friend,
I've read your letter line by line,
From the commencement to the end,
Concerning turkies, pies and wine,
And excellent Thanksgiving dinners,
Which you. poor reprobated sinners,
Called Bachelors, in vain entreat
welcome to some house to eat.
You dwell with sadness on the past:
The loneliness of present time,
When one must dine alone, or fast,
Rings through the changes Of your rhyme
And l, who hold. with Walter Scott,
That sacred is the name of stranger,
Beg to suggest, whether or not,
You can't escape the dreadful danger
OF being forced again to dine
Alone, on Thanksgiving day,
On mutton chops, and old port wine,
Weeping DER friends all far away
And vainly praying fate to spare
One friend, your solitude to share.
The fact Is, you must change your plan
OF waiting for an Invitation
From some kind-heared married man
In the Ascensions congregation.
A Benedict what right has he
To expect an invitation free
From Mr.. r. or Mr.. c.,
As" Pray Sir, will you dine with mel
My children now are all ct home,
My wife entreats that you will come;
Miss will be there to-day,
And don't, beg you, stay away"
No, no, Sir, you must change your plan,
Be " Benedict, the msrried man :"
And prescribe. as doctors say,
That you look out some bright eyed girl,
And on clear sun shiny day,
In your most sweet and winning way,
Tell her, my heart 10 In 4 whirl
don't know what I'd better do,
love you, and my money too
But, above all a. Pm q sinner,
need place TO eat my dinner
And somebody with whom to dine,
And chat A. we are drinking wine;"
And you'll succeed, or am not
A Yankee guesser worth groat.
The next Thanksgiving, after church,
Remember how the last you spent
In sadness and In discomfort,
Left standing in the churchs porch:
And how In WEAKNESS and sorrow,
You prayed the coming Of the morrow
And how the day is now enjoyed
By you and yours around your board,
Where wife and friends combine to throw
Increasing brightness round each blessing,
And every comfort here below
10 rendered doubly worth possessing
Then, grateful Tor your chsnged condition,
Send me check for my commission

PROGRESS OF INFIDRLITY AND CHRISTIANITY No
who has any regard for the best interests of the
human race shut his eyes to the singular pro-
gress which has been made Of late years, in this
country towards nfdeiy and anti christianity, by
various cques of infdels All these new social
movements, whether they be called after the name
of Fourier or any other name, seem TO be based on
the same general principles of opposition TO the
truths of revealed religion. We have recently seen
a very open and undissuised assault on Christianity,
by Mr. Parker, aUnltarian clergyman in Boston, snd
ia all large cities we have infidel associations
which, under the guise of great philosophical zeal
and knowledge, make war ON the Christian system.
To all this we have now to add the extraordinary
lecture delivered some time since in the Tnber-
nacle, and just published by the Hapers, and which
p'rports to be an appeal to the Christian world in
behalf OF the Jews. This discourse was delivered
by Hebrew, M. M. Noah, and IN the ostensible
shape of plain, simple and literal narrative of the
life and times OF the founder Of Christianity it
leaves an impression, the mind OF the general and
uasuspecting reader, decidedly more adverse TO
the divine origin of the Christian faith, than any
argumentative effort to overturn the religion of
Jesus that we have met with for long time. The
whole theory OF Mr.. Noah, is precisely ide n,ica
with that Of Strauss, a German winter, whose as
saut on Christianity has been regarded as more
subtle and ingenious than that of any other iniide
OF the day
Ia few days we shall be prepared to enter on
a review of this discourse, in connection with the
progress OF in6dety in this country for the ast ten
or fifteen years-the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the clergy
and a variety Of causes which have contributed 10
impede the progress OF Christianity, not committing
the recent developments IN the Episcopal Church.
