The Parliament, and their revenues are appro.

excommunicated under Chap. XI. of the Coun-
Gil of Trent, without a special bull, and that
they cannot receive the sacraments Of the

Four Coon HABITs-There were four good
habits wise and good man earnestly recon-
mended in his counsels, and also by his example,
and which he considered essentially necessary
for the management of temporal concerns; these
are Punctuai,y, Accuracy, Steadiness and Dis
patch. Without the first of these, time is vast.
ed, without the second. mistakes the most hurt
ful to our own credit and interest, and that of
others may be committed; without the fourth,
opportunities of great advantage are lost which

BLUE RIDGE or RABUEN GAP RAILROAD
We take pleasure in stating, says the Anderson
Gazette, that the contractors have recently con-
summated such arrangements as will secure an
effective force on the Stump House tunnel, to
he kept at work night and day, until final COM
pletion. We also learn that the contractors are
anxiously waiting for the delivery of the whole
line of road into their hands, to enable them to
put force upon the entire line to Knoxville.
The project having been fully rnatured, the
necessary aid having been fully provided by
the various parties interested, including the
States which are to be benefited by it, and the
money market having materially improved, we
trust the whole line will be given to contractors
without further delay. Ii this is done We have
the best of reasons for believing that the work
will be under contract Immediately to Knoxville,
and that it will be prosecuted vigorously until
it is completed.

DESCRIPTION OF SIERRA LEoSE.-A worthy,
wea:her-beaten old sea captain once gave per-
fectly definite notion of Sierra Leone, sir" ne
said: "l'l tell you what Sierra Leone is like.
A black fellow, sir, goes into the market It's as
hot as, well-anything. lie buys Il melon for
three tarthings-and what does he do with it !!
The black fellow, sir, hasn't rag on. He's rs
bare as robin. He buys his melon, cuts it in
halves, and scoops out the middle. He sits in
one-half, covers his head with the other, and
eats the middle. That's what he does, sir.
saw Sierra Leone in all its tropical glory, cheap
ness of produce, darkness of population, gigan.
tic vegetation, and primitive state of manners.

FEMALE PIETY-The gem of all others which
encircle the coronet Of a lady's character IS un-
affected piety. Nature may lavish much on her
person--the enchantment of the countenance-
the gracefulness of her mind or strength OF heT ,!
intellect; vet her loveI:::.sss is uncrowned till
piety throws around tho whole sweetness and
power of her charms She then, becomes u''-
earthly in the temper-unearthly in her desires @
and association. The spell which bound her
affections 10 things below is broken, and she
mounts on the silent wings of her fancy and hope,
to the habitation of God, where it will be her
delight to hold communion with the spirits that
have been ransomed from the thradom of earth,
and wreathed with garland Of glory.
