strictly to the letter of treaties between her

has been said that an implacable enmity
thus encendered in his youthful breast

THELAsT TRUMP.


A student in one Of the academies in
France was spending his vacation at the
house ofone of his relations. whom we will
call Madam T. She was very cap'i-
va,ing woman; beautiful, witty, and wItha!
widow.
At the close ofa pleasant auiumnal eve
ming this young man and his cousin, for so
Madam II. was, returned TO her mansion
after long and probably very pleasant
walk.
1t happened, that during the absence
of the lady ofthe house, the cook bad
invited relation of hers, who was a trum-
peter in the Hussars, and besides, fond OF
good living, never refusing chauce at
good meal to spend sociable hour with
her. Our couple where, therefore, taken
by surpise at the return ofMadam, espe-
cially as there was but one way of exit
from the house. The cook therefore, as
quickly as possible, hid all that she coald
which might expose them; the only
trouble was, wha. 10 do with the unfor-
tuna,e trumpeter; aud after finding every
closet and cupbord too small she advised
him TO hide under the bed OF Madam H.,
which seemed TO be the only safe place
of refuge.
Madam T. soon retired TO her room
after having babe good night TO her cous-
in, and was just putting on her rooe de
mutt when she beheld, upon suddenly
turning round, our studen, on his knees
in the same position that Jean Jacques
made his silent declaration to Madam
Basile.
"Good Heavens!" exclaimed MadamT.,
perfectly astonished, "what, cousin, are
YOU doing here' &c away Immediately;
what would be said lift we're known tia.
YOU where in my chamber al that hour:
Consider your situation and my own.
"My dear cous' n," replied the student,
almost if not entirely beside himself. VI

fled, and in the midst ofthe general con-

for a short time.
The next day, Mons. R., Colonel Of the
Hussars, was amusing the ladies', during
one of his morning visits, with his many
stories. A friend requesting him to re-

the colonel. 81 am entirely ignorant Of
them; but would have given the world
TO have seen the face Of the lady at that
moment; it must have presented a very
ridiculous appearan e." "Not halfso rid

PERvERsIoN OF CHR,sTiANITY.-The
great purpose of Christianity, to unfold
and strengthen and lift up the mind, has
been peFpctually thrown out of sight
In truth, this purpose has been more
than overlooked. 1t has been reversed.
The vey religion given 10 exalt human
nature, has been used 10 make it abject.
The very religion which was given 10
create d generous hope, has been made
an inst tument Of servile and torturing
fear. The very religion which came
from Gods goodness 10 enlarge the hui
man soul with kindred goodness, has
been en ployed to narrow il TO sect, t
rear the inquisiiion, and 10 kindle fires
for the martyr. The very religion given
TO make the understanding and consci.
ence free, has, by criminal perversion,
served 10 break, them into subsection to
priests, ministers, and human creeds.-
Ambition and craft have seized on the
solemn doctrines Of an omnipotent God
and of future punishment, and turned
them into engines against the child, the
trembling female, the ignorant adult, un'
til The skeptc has been emboldened to
charge on religion the chief mlseries and

INFLUENCE OF LAKE ERIE ON

place this autumn, was on the night ofthe
Goth of October. Up 10 that date Dab.

es. state ofvigor and perfection. Among
the consequences of this delay Of frost,
is the ripening of buds and wood Of fruit
trees and halfhardy shrubs, which pre-
pares them TO resist the cold of the en-
suing winter. The leaves of the Peach
ard Cherry trees, and of the various
Chinese Maguolias, had previously ma
|trned and were dropping before the oc-
crrrence of frost.
During winter. the temperature of This
immense body Of wafer remaining a,
about 40 degrees Of Farenheit, moder-
ates the severity Of the cold, and it is
rare ,bat the thermometer on The Lake
shore falls TO Zero, while in the middle
portions Of the State it is dow n to 8, 10,
l2'or more degrees below that point.
Again, during Spring the Lake and its
Investing body of ice, serve TO keep the
weather cool and vegetation passive, till
all danger from late vernal frosts has
passed. AT length when summer sets
in vegetation rushes forward with a ra-
pidity unequalled in the more southern
portions Of the country, and by the mid.
die of July, fruits and garden vegetables
are only one or two weeks behind simi-
lar kinds a. Columbus. The result Of
all this is that the climate of Cleveland
and its vicinity is best adapted for the
raising of fine fruits and vegetables Of
any in the Western country.
1t is, however, fair to state that there
are two drawbacks that are felt by our
IIorlcullurists in this locality. First, our
soil though warm and easy Of cultivation,
is naturally destitute Of some very es-
sential elements. Labor, expense, and
perseverance will however, correct the
evil. Second, there is a less quantity o
rain that falls on the Lake shore, than III
the interior of the State, especially du'
ling the month Of June, July and Au.
gust, when it is needed to give size and
flavor to our fruits and advance tire pro
gress of culinary vegetables.
