A CuRfous CoNsc,KNcE-A wealthy planter Of
enc of the Southwestern States, returning from
the North last autumn, took with him from New
England two young to labor for him as me-
chanics. One Of them was professor If religion.
The planter, (who, though not professor of re-
ligion, is a respecter and supporter Of its ordin
nnces observed after few weeks, that this young
man. instead Of attending church with the family,
and otherwise demeanng himself as pious person
wandered of on the Sabbath. On inquiry he
found that he was beginning to learn TO play cards,
and to drink ardent spirits. One Sabbath after
noon he called him to come into his library, and
exnos,ulated with him as TO his course. The
Young man replied that person but his en-
plover knew that he professor of religion {;
that when he came to the South he thought it best
not IN sppear as SUCH to avoid remark, and as he
had. on leaving New England, been told by his
minister that il was contrary to the rules OF hts
church for its members to commune with slave
holders. he had not sought connection with the
church.
Here 10 genuine illustration Of the power OF
error, and the fruit Of unsound instruction. A
New England professor of religion could not COM
mune with shareholders, but he could and did drink
ardent spirits, stay away from church, and play
cards on the Sabbath He was afraid OF being
