ult. From what We can learn there are
.bou. one hundred preachers IN attendance
There is perhaps, greater amount OF
elcrica! talent now in our town than has
ever been ia it at any previous period.
We alten led church ON Sabbath night
last, and listened TO sermon delivered by
Rev. Mr.. Fisher, Of Eusk l,wss an able
effort or the parl Of Mr. Fisher aud with
due cied.. to It's author, we are w,lliu. to
pronounce it one ol the brst discoufses
which We ever heard.
Il is truly interesting to be u, church
when there are great number OF preachers
in attendance. Their seriou, and media
tive mood inspires every member OF the
audience with deep sense OF the sacred
nsas of Gods house, and the putty Of the
motives which ac,uate his followers.
Their singing truly delightful part OF
worship--is beautiful, heavenly. aud sub
lime. To hear a hundred voices repeating
IN swelling cadence, tbs luneiul numbers OF
sublims verse. is really grand aud lmpo
Gag part OF divine worship.

GentIemaniy Accomplishments.

Swear! Out upon such common attainment.
So do the lowest and meanest that swim in the
sinks of vice and drunkenness. There is not a
ruffian who cannot boast the same accomplish
ment. Every reeking den Of devitry has its pro-
fcients. The most degraded of humanity can
swear as roundly as you. Hark! You hear it
on the Highway. In every spot where tipplers
congregate the oath is part of every breath. At
night it comes with fearful distinctness from the
dram shop. And yet you are as proud Of your
foul-mouthed weakness, as though the vilest Of
earth could not boast of the same.
Chew Tobacco! A loathsome splitting ma
chine, eh! Beautiful and interesting apparatus,
truly A self.spitting squirt-gun to eject the
flthiest compound in creation A lama on two
legs bespattering all within your reach, without
plovocation even! And because you eat tobac-
co and spit out the juice with mock dignity, you
are gentleman! Ho Ho! the race of fools
are not yet extinct. Why you slavering beast,
it is no rare accomplishment to eat tobacco -
You can't make your mouth fouer than the old
vagabond who spends shilling he has begged
for the rum and a pound of plug. He can act
as filthy as you can. Can't you believe it? See
him spit once Mark the dark lines from each
corner of his mouth, and the noisome stains of
his shirt bosom. Rare accomplishment indeed
for gentleman !!
Drink Champagne? Ha! Ha! Dear sir, the
whole land is full Of just such suckers. The rag
gedest, wiry haired, red nose blear eyed old
bloat in christendom, can get as rich and foolish
and as drunk as you can. And what's the diff
ference? From the actions, locker on could
Il t determine what liquor the two had got drunk
on. The one spews in the gutter and the other
in his room. There is difference in the quail
ty of the coats, but none in that Of drunkenness.
The common sot can get as "owly" on common
whisky, as you can on pure, champagne. You
drink with respectable tipplers and drunkards,
he with those who are graduated in the common
whisky cellar.
You are a gentleman, are you9 Why are
you! Go we'll dressed, do youl And so that
makes gentleman. Your whole aim of life is
to adorn your person in a fashionable suit Of
clothes, practice most unnatural gait and whirl
before the glass; A fine suit of clothes, sir, can
not give man heart. You wear moustache
or imperial! and so does goat. A face may
be covered with hair and no brains in the head
Bears grease and fashionable twirl are all your
dependence. FANNY FERN.

men would devote their leisure time to the pur-
suit of useful knowledge, they might soon be-
come bright ornaments to society. We see
Franklin emerging from the greatest obscurity,
and by his own unaided efforts rising to dist1nc-
tion, aud becoming one Of the brightest stars in
the armament of his country's history. Iwould
not be understood that every man can become a
Franklin, but would be understood. that every
one can become an intelligent and useful citizen.
When we take survey Of the unlimited regions
Of learning, and our meditations run over the
names of all the sciences, with their numerous
branches and particular themes Of knowledge,
we can bit reflect with how few Of them we are
acquainted. The most learned of motals will
never have occasion to act over again what IS
fabled of Alexander the Great, that when he had
conquered what was called the Eastern world,
lie wept for want of more worlds to conquor.-
The worlds ofscience are innumerable and endless
as the starry host that bedecks the vault Of night.
But the most important Of all knowledge, is self
knowledge Know thyself,' was written in
golden capitals upon the. splendid Temple of
Dclphos, as the most important maxim which
the wise men of Greece could hand down to un-
born generations. 1t has been truly said, that
man, the Lord of Creation, is the grand climax,
the master piece of all Gods works with which
we are acquainted; and mans mind the master
piece Of man. So the study Of mans mind
towers far above all others. Yes, knowledge is
power and more to be desired than all the trea-
sures of earth combined; yea, it is more to be
desired than the everlasting echo of Fame.

Choice Gems.

Liberality is not giving largely, but giving
wisely.
Life is half spent before we know what it
is.
Maids want nothing but husbands, and then
they want everything.
Make choice of your wife by the ears, not the
eyes.
Make other mems shpwrecks thy sea marks.
Manners makes man.
Many come to bring their clothes to church
rather than themselves
Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has
no pleasures.
Marriage leapeth up upon the saddle, and
soon after repentance upon the cruPper.
Masters should be sometimes blind, and
sometimes deaf
Men can better suffer to be denied than to be
deceived.
Look not gift horse in the mouth.
Neither look out far for troubles, nor be en-.
ti'ely unprc vided for them.
Never accuse others to excuse thyself
Never carry a sword in your tongue to wound
the reputation Of any man.
Never do that in prosperity whereof you
may repent in adversely,
Never marry without love, nor without rea.
son.
Never think of raising your reputation by
detraction.
Never wade in unknown waters.
Neither believe rashly, nor reject obstinate.
ly.
It is better to tread the path of life cheerfully,
skipping over the thorns and brars that OBJ.
struct your way than to sit down under every
hedge lamenting your fate. The thread ofa
cheerful mans life spins out longer than mans
who is constantly sad and desponding. Pru.
dent conduct in the concerns of life is highly
necessary--but if distress succeed, detection
and despair will not afford relief. The best
thing to be done when evil comes upon us, is
not Iamentng, but action-not to sit and suffer
but to seek the remedy.

EXPOSURE OF SICK HINDoos on THE BANKS

EXPOSURE OF SICK HINDoos ON THE BANKS
OF THE GANGE>.-We take the following from
Konegbe,gcr's Thirty.fve years in the East.
As we approached Benz gal, observed OH
both banks of the Ganges, gradually inereas.
ing number Of cane mats. coverlets, drinking
vessels, &C.; and also many sick persons ly.
ing upon mats, &c. On inqniring the cause,
found that it was the custom Of the country
among the poorer classes, that when patient
was supposed to be past all hope Of recovery,
his relations conveyed him to the banks OF the
Ganges, so that he might die in the vicinity OF
the sacred river: The relations or friends of
the patients visit the spot, to ascertain wheth
er they are still living; when death ensues, they
purchase sufficiency Of wood to make tune-
raj pile, and commit the body t" the flames; A;
when their means do not afforL the expenses of
doing this they merely burn portion oftl,e
face, and then push the body int" the sacred
river. When q patient thus situated, happens
to recover, he considers that he has as it were
acquired new life, and thencefurth all his
former relations and friends are treated as
strangers; lie never returns to the dwelling in
which he had formerly resided; but wanders
down the Gahges until he arrives at Santipore
near Calcutta, where he settles himself; and 1t
is curious fact that nearly the whole popu-
lation ofSan.ipore is composed ofsuch persons.
These people never again hold any communi-
cation with those who have been nearest and
dearest to them, and they contract marriages
among themselves only. This town or colony
the only one, perhaps, ofits kind in the world
may be called the colony Of convalescents.

TIE Rr,1e1oN OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS

The RELIGION OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS.
Their religion is very confused, and DO two
Indians have entirely the same belief. They
believe in a good and evil spirit; they pray to
the latter to avert evils, but never to the former,
saying that the good spirit only confers bene.
fits. and, therefore, does not require praying
to: they are fre-worshippers, and believe in
the transmgration of souls. The Matches
worshipped the sun, and kept sacred fire con-
tnualy burning; so that the sun and fire.wor-
shipper of Persia, the Brahmins, the Buddhis,s
of Iudia, as we'll as the Jews, and the devil
worshippers Of Arabia, can each bring forward
a claim Of parentage! Their worship of fire
is partial, but very peculiar; they take it as
their totem" or " tutelary deity" and will
not on any account treat a fire roughly, al
ways replenisbing and adjusting it with their
hands, believing that if it is touched with a
hatche:, knife, or any other instrument used in
war, some one of the lodge will die. Other
Indians take wolves, foxes, buhaloes, in fact
nearly every animal, for their totem, being care
full never to injure one of the species unneces
sarily. When an Indian, whose totem is the
buffalo, kills one, he always makes point of
turning its head towards the south, which is
intended as a sign to the other buffaloes, that
their fellow.beuf is gone to the happy hunting
grounds Before going on war.path, the In.
dian generally tries to get an omen from his
totem. could not find out on what princi-
Piles their divinaton was carried on, but if a
warriors path is crossed by his totem, nothing
will persuade him to go on the war-path. The
excessive superstition Of the Indians has been
one of the chief reasons Of their not having
destroyed one another long ago. They will
never 70 to war till their medicine men say the
omens are propitious, even though they know
their enemy is unprepared; and sometimes
they will delay whole year, neglecting the
most favorable opportunities. before they strike
coup; whereas, if they had not been tram
melled by their absurd fancies, they might have
committed twice the damage. Their belief in
transmgration of souls must be partial for,
from the manner they treat their horses and
dogs, you would not imagine they ever expec.
ted to occupy like position. AS far as l
could learn from the missionary the whole
sum of their belief in future state consists
in the idea, that there are two paths that the
spirits pursue after death, one to the south,
leading to the happy hunting grounds, where
the buffaloes swarm, and where they will never
suffer from cold and hunger any more; the

RELfGIous EXCITEMENT -tteligious troubles
appear to be rife in Cincinnati. Lately they
had most exciting contest for school directors,
in which the Catholic candidates were all de-
feated. A few days ago, David !. r.sSneilbaksr,t
the Mayor Of the city, forbid Protestant stfeets
preacher from holding Iortls on the Sabbath
on the plea that his serraonsa against the .gatho-
lies had tile tendencycof melting to:riot; This !,
preacher, however, disregarded the Warning,
and the very Sunday which he was, forbidden
to speak he mounted upon the head Of e bal...
rel in the midst Of the market space, and was
speaking to crowd of about a hundred per-
SONS, when the Mayor, attended by tbe1ygpiaf
police and large body Of special officers, ap-s
peared upon theigreund and obliged him TO
desist This was in the morning. In The saf::
ternoon Of the same day n great Catholic pro.
cession, numbering fromsiye TO ten thonsahd
men, with badges, fags, banners, and a. large
number Of bands 1of music, marched through
the streets, to lay the corner stone of. Catho.
lie church. The Catholic church bells were
rung during the whole time, the brass bands,
co,nprehending nearly all- in the cityswere
playing, and the procession marched though
half the town, blocking up he-streeis, making
an osteptatious parade, which created a great
deal Of excitement, sufficient to render some
of the streets impossible to church g6ing peos
pie, and TO disturb the stilluess of the Sabbath
The Mayor had out a large police force pro.
tect the procession. These circomstancessJe led
to the holding Of a large. public meeting, yhiehs
denounced the conduct of the kayar. and led.
to the appointment of hundred citizenseo
wal: upon him, and request his immediate reT
signatiun. The object Of the Mayor appears
to have been to prevent riot the occasioJp
of the Catholic procession, but in doing 80,
he has. thoroughly aroused the Protestant popu
aton, and added fuel to areligious excitemens
which was slready. very deep and bitter.
