too frequently; on the contrary, as there
are many excellent persons who are weigh
ed down by this habitual sorrow Of heart,
they rather deserve our compassion than
our reproaches. think, however, they
would do well to consider whether such
behavior does not deter men from relig-
ious life, by representing it as an unsocia-
BILE state, that extinguishes all Joy and glad
ness, darkens the face of nature, and de-
stroys the relish of being itself
Those who represent religion in SO un-
amlable light, are like the spies sent by
Moses to make discovery of the land of
promise, when by their reports they dis
couraged the people from entering upon it.
Those who show us the Joy. the cheerful
ness, the good humor that naturally spring
up in this happy state, are like the spies
bringing along with them the clusters of
grapes, and delicious fruits, that might in
Vlte their companions into the pleasant
country which produced them. The con-
temptation of the Divine Being, and the
exercise Of virtue, are in their own nature
SO far from excluding all gladness Of the
heart, that they are perpetual sources Of it.
In word, the true spirit of religion cheers
as well as composes the soul, fills the mind
with perpetual serenity, uninterrupted
cheerluness, and an habilual inclination 10

one month. He Immediately wrote to the
former husband, who was ignorant of what
had transpired, offering him first rate
situation, on condition he would come i'm
mediately. The letter was signed by the
principal of a well known firm, who was
apprlsed OF every circumstance in the case.
As soon as the letter came to hand, the
ovegoyed recipient took passage for New
Orleans. lie presented himself at the
place designated in the letter, and at once
made himself known by showing his cre-
dentials. He was conducted to the resi-
dence of the generous heir, where he was
informed, the writer OF the letter waited to
receive him. His name was announced,
and he was conducted into an elegant par
lor, and there, alone, he met the woman
he had neglected and dishonered-the wo-
man who had been forced to leave him.
but who could not quite give him up.
A few days afterwards the city papers
| announced the marriage of Mr.. - and
Mrs. -. The estate was restored TO
the lawful owners, and the reconcied
couple, made wiser and better by advers-
ty, are now living happily together.
1t is good 10 turn sometimes from the
cares and turmoils of politics, and contem-
plate human nature rising up from the
depths of misery and despair, casting aside
selfshness, and reaching that standard OF
! purity and happiness which so few attain.

II Female Religious Duel.-The Cor

count of female religious duel:
"The Swiss Protestants are absorbed
by a serlo-comic topic. 1t is feminine
duel which has just taken place, apropos
to the unsolVed questions between the dis
ciples of Luther and Calvin. Two younp
women, teachers Of Berne, made fanati
cal by their reading, and the individual in
terpretations which it suggested, could not
agree upon point Of doctrine, and finally
agreed to resort to force TO settle the ques
ton. The place of meeting was the most
obscure part of neighboring wood, the
hour fixed was two o'clock-seconds had
procured the steel weapons, for the duel
was to be fought with swords. After sew
eral lively thrusts, one Of the fair combat
ants received a severe wound in the knee.
and fell upon the grass fainting.
"The combat ceased. but our two caus-
lists in Petticoats have already rallied
good number of adherents. 1t is new
element of discord with the Bernese. L:

A BIT OF ROMANCE.

Five or SIX years ago, rich Louisiana
planter died, leaving an only heir, daugh-
ter, who was not quite seventeen years
old. She, together with her fortune, was
placed in the charge of a guardian, who
was distinctly related TO the family. Her
fortune, and her remarkable beauty, at
tracted the attention of many suitors, am
ong which was an accomplished young
man from St Louis, whose only wealth
was his profession. His handsome person
and fascinating manners won the lady's
affections, and without the knowledge of
her guardian, they were privately married.
Shortly after they removed to st. Louis
where they lived together happily for a
time, and a bright future seemed 10 be be-
fore them. At the expiration of the year,
the lady having attained her majority, they
returned to New Orleans to claim her for
tune, and live in the splendid old family
mansion. They were coldly received by
the occupant, who deliberately informed
them that the estate had passed into other
hands. They at once applied to The law
for redress, and going through the protract-
ed formalilies of two or three lruilless suits,
they were left penniless, and obliged to
abandon the case. Friendless and dispir-
tied they returned to St. Louis, where the
husband, like many other husbands, tried
TO drown the remembrance of his disap-
ponlment in the fatal cup. His wife en-
treated and admonished in vain. A sepa-
ration was the consequence, and the hus-
band became more reckless and disslpated
than ever. Driven at last 10 desperation,
the wife applied for divorce, obtained it
and retired to a convent. This restored
the wretched man TO his senses; he aban-
doned his former associates, returned 10
the path of virtue, and became respecta-
Bile and industrious citizen.
A few months ago, the lady received a
letter from the son of her former guardian,
informing her of his determination TO make
full restoration, closing with an appeal to
her to forgive his misguided parent, and to
come TO New Orleans and receive her for
tune. She at once complied with his gen.
erous request; and all her inheritance to-
gether with the accumulated interest, was
restored to her.
Now comes the strangcst part of this
extraordinary affair. The young man Of
fered her his hand in marriage, and plead
with all the earnestness of impassioned
love. He reminded her of all her child
ish attachment, of his deep anguish when
she became the wife of another, and Of
the long years of his silent sorrow. All
these remembrances came up before her
mind, and gratitude plead eloquently in
his favor; but at last the wife triumphed
over the woman. She thanked him and
gave him her simple blessing-told him
she had loved bnt one and could never
love another. She entreated him to take
back all her fortune, and permit her to
return to the convent. Finding her reso-
Iutions unaIterable, he consented, on con-
dition that she should postpone her return

MELANCHOLY NOT RELIGION.

vi IIIhA ANAlAOlA1 nv hLLiNIoAN'
About an age ago, it was the fashion for
every one that would be thought religious,
TO throw as much sanclity as possible into
his face, and, in particular, TO abstain from
all appearances of mirth and pleasantly,
which were looked upon as the works of
a carnal mind. The saint was of sor-
rowful countenance, and generally eaten
up with spleen and melancholy. A gen
tIeman who was lately great ornament
to the learned world, has diverted me more
than once with an account OF the recep
ton which he met with from very ia
nous Independent Minister, who was head
of College in those times. This gentle
man was then young adyenturer in the
republic Of letters, and fitted out for the
university with cargo Of Latin and Greek.
His friends were resolved that he should
try his fortune at an election which was
drawing near in the college, OF which the
Independent Minister whom have before
mentioned, was president. The youth,
according TO custom, waited on him in
order to be examined, He was received
at the door by servant, who was one Of
that gloomy generation that were then in
fashion. He conducted him, with great
silence and seriousness, to a long gallery
which was darkened at MONDAY, and had
only single candle burning i'll ii. After
a short stay in this melancholy apartment,
he was led into a chamber hung with black,
where he entertained himself for time by
the gimmering taper, till at length the
head of the college came out to him from
an inner room, with half a dozen night
caps upon his head, and religious horror
in his countenance. The young man
trembled; but his fears increased, when
instead of being asked what progress he
had made in learning, he was examined
how he abounded in grace: his Latin and
Greek stood him in little stead: he was to
give all account only of the state of his
soul; whether he was one of the elect;
what was the occasion of his conversion;
upon what day it happened; how it was
carried on, and when completed. The
whole examination was summed with one
short question, namely, whether he vas
prepared for death. The boy, who had
been bred up by honest parents, was fright
ened out of his wits at the solemnity of
the proceeding, and by the last dreadful
interrogatory; so that upon making his es-
cape out of the house of mourning, he
could never be brought second time TO
the examination. Notwithstanding this
general form and outside of religion IS
pretty well worn out amongst us, there are
many persons, who by natural uncheer-
fulness of heart, mistaken notions OF plety,
or weakness of understanding, love to IN
| dulge this uncomfortable way of life, and
give themselves up to grief and melancho-
| ly, as if mirth was made for reprobstes,
and cheerfulness Of heart denied those who
are the only persons that have proper
title.
