FROM THE NOTE BOOK OF A CoUN.
TRY LAWYER.

Churchianity.--A capital good word which
often mistakes itself for Christianity, anC
thus it came. DR.. Par had preached two
sermons at Birmingham, ,(l7s9) for the ben.
eft of the charity schools there, in which he
earnestly recommended to the audience two
admirable sermons, which their townsman
DR.. Priestly, had written and published
The commendation gave great offence, for
the name of DR.. p who was bold Dissenter,
was poison to the orthodox ears of many of
the congregation. One Of them met DR..
Parr in the vestry, Immediately after the ser
mon, and ventured to expos.ulate with him,
and to represent to him that the sermons
recommended might be admirable and good
Christian doctrine, but that the author was
an enemy 10 the church, and therefore ought
never to be mentioned within its sacred pre-
cints. Parr heard him cut, and then calmly
replied: ASir, you are the best vindicator of
churchianiy ever knew"
Religosity.-Another good word, and ger
name to the former, found in Southey's
doctor" an admirable book for reading
aloud, and but few chapters at a time. "Train
up a child in the way he should go, and
when he is old his feet will not depart from
it." Generally speaking it will be found SO;
but is there any other rule to which there
are so many exceptions!
ASK the serious Christian, as he calls
himself, or the professor, (ano,her and more
fitting appellaton which the Christian Phari-
sees have chosen for themselves0 ask him
whether he has found it hold good! Wheth-
er his son, when they attained to years of
discretion, (Which are the most indiscreet
years of human iife) have profited as he
has expected by the long extemporaneous
prayers to which they listen night and morn
ing, the sad Sabbaths which they were COM
PEELED to observe, and the soporifc sermons
which closed the domestic religiosity of those
melancholy days"
This was enough for my notebook, to
fasten down the specimen word which so
well denotes the overt formalities ofreligion,
practised as habit, without mind or heart;
but let me turn to the book and give the re-
mainder Of the paragraph. "Ask him ifthis
discipline has prevented them from running
headlong into the folies and vices of the age?
from being bird-imed by dissipation, or
caught in the spider-web of sophistry and
unbelief! 1t is no doubt true observation
says Bishop Patrick, that the ready way to
make the minds of youth grow awry is to
lace them too hard, by denying them their
just freedom"

the appearance Of gun and daunted by the
death of their companion, retired"
This was heroic woman, and Of such,
and in just such period, were the ancient
Spartans.
In conclusion, we desire TO add our contri-
button to what a discriminating poblic has
already given Of praise to the labors OF Judge
Hall. He was one of the earliest TO make
Western literature respectable, and provo
that letters were not unfamiliar to the people
Of the West.

CASUALTIES AND DEATH-We regret to
hear that Col. Teener, Deputy Sheriff of this
county, when returning from Nashville on
Tuesday, was thrown from the Cars and
instantly killed. The catastrophe occurred
within short distance of the place where
happened the collision the day before, where
so many were seriously If not fatally injured,
and the engines knocked into fragments
The fated train upon which Col. Teener was
passenger at the time of the calamity, was
running backward and ran over COW, which
knocked the hindmost ears off the track,
shivering them to pieces. A lady from Va,
We learn was also seriously injured Mr..
Teener leaves a large family to mourn his
sudden and melancholy DEATH Chattanooga

NuMRO JUMBO.

Rise, Jupiter, with emerald hair,
And wake the snakes of Thessaly;
Who does not know that pancakes are
Devoured subjectively-and whyi
Wise sages, Of the olden time,
With introverted vision look;
But ahl ftp is not dime.
And for mixed snifters can't be took.
Go, lovers of the sacred Styx,
And grind your laughter into tears;
While plaintive melody Of bricks
Floats through the silence Of the years.
Ye cannot count me as run;
/ play with stars at pitch and toss;
! am the uncle Of the sun,
Half alligator and half hoss.
But shadowed by the ebon rose
That shakes its petals from the sky,
Comes Morpheus, walking on his toes,
And knocks creation into pi.
