An Exentfnl Career.

Let me recite to you true history of a man
whose farm we passed over yesterday. About
fifteen years ago Presbyterian clergyman of
New York had hayward son. We have his
name and location, but choose to withhold it
at present. Before he was IL, he became so
reckless and unruly that his father could no
longer control him. He left for the wicked
and corrupt city of New York, where he be-
came clerk in a drinking saloon, but his
character was too bad to be retained there
He next was bar-keeper in theatre, but was
dismissed. He went lower and still lower, until
he slept in empty cellars, and ON the wharves
of the city, a perfect nuisance and a disgrace
to his race.
AT this stage of his career an old college
mate-for our hero was graduate Of one of
the best colleges in the State of New York
determined that he would hunt him up, and
make one more effort to save him. He went
TO New York, and after week Of dilligent
search, with the aid of the police, he found
him. He washed and clothed him, took him
back to the country, and every inducement
that could be held out to him, persuaded him
to try to be man. He made the effort, and
was successful. The friend who sought him
out, and saved him, we are well acquainted
with. They both determined TO come to Ten
nessee to teach school They soon reached
here, and with a high recommendation they
brought, soon obtained good places.
They reclaimed son Of the Presbyterian
clergyman, within six months after his arrival,
married an orphan girl WORTH 10000 in cash.
She had younger sister and brother, who
each had equal amounts. The sister soon
after died, leaving one-half Of her estate to our
hero and his wife, the other half to her brother,
and thus increasing his estate 10 100000.
When the Mexican, war broke out the brother
enlisted, and made will, leaving all his estate
to his brotherin-law Tour hero) and his wife,
in case he never returned from the war. He,
like many more of our noble youths, was killed
at Buena Vista. Thus our hero came into pos
session Of the entire estate Of the family, which
at first was $4,000 which has increased by
advance Of lands, and increase Of negroes to
over $390,000. He is now one Of the richest
planters Of Middle Tennessee, and does not live
twenty-five miles from Nashville.

Always! In the child, the maiden, with the
wife, mother, religion shines q holy benignant
beauty of its own, which nothing on earth can
mar. Never yet was the female character per-
feet without the steady faith of piety. Beauty
intellect, wealth. they are all pitfalls, dark in
the brightest bay, unless the Divine light, un-
less religion throws her divine beams around
them, to purify and exa!t, making twice glori
Gus that which seemed all loneliness before.
Religion is very beautiful--in health or'sick-
ness, in wealth or poverty. We never enter the
sick chamber of the good, but soft music seems
to float on the air, and the burthen of their song
is, "Lo! peace is here.'
Could we look into thousands of families to-
day, when discomfort sits fighting sullelney with
life, we should find the chief cause Of unhappi-
ness, want of religion in woman.
And in felons' cells-in places Of crime,
misery, restitution, ignorance-we should be-
hold in all its most horrible deformity, the fruit
of irreligion in woman.
Oh, religion! benignant majesty, high on
thy throne thou sittest, glorious and exalted.
Not above the clouds, for earth-clouds come
never between thee and the truly pious soul
not beneath the clouds, for above thee is
Heaven, opening through broad vista of ex-
ceeding beauty.
It's gates shine in the splendor of jasper and
precious stones, white with dewy light that
neither flashes nor blazes, but steadily proce
deth from the throne of God. It's towers
bathed in refulgent glory ten times the bright
ness of ten thousand suns, yet soft, undazzling
to the eye.
And there religion points. Art thou weary
its whispers, "rest-up there-foreyer." Art
thou sorrowing? "eternal JOY" Art thou
weighed down with unmerited ignominy !?
"kings and priests in that holy home" Art
