horses of innocent, respectable citizens,

Immediately apprehended and severely
punished. But the General took wiser
and more dignifed course. He saw in
the communication the ebullition Of an
angered mind. 1t was clearly the pro-
duction of an ignorant man who consid-
cred himself greatly abused. The Gen
eral, therefore, with magnsnimity that
does him infinite credit, overlooked the
personal assault and threats, wholly refus-
ed to recognize the letter other than as
evidence of the hardship that might be-
fall poor men in the operation of the i'm

Early Piey.-Early piety is the most
beautiful spectacle in the world Religion
above every other acquisition, enriches and
adorns the mind of man; and it is especial.
ly congenial with the natural susceptible
ties of the youthful mind. The vivacity
and versatility of youth, the tenderness
and ardor of the affections in this age, ex.
hibit piety to the best advantage. How
delightful it is to see the bosoms of the
young swelling with the lively emotions Of
pure devotion How beautiful is the tear of
penitence or of holy Joy which glisteDs in
the eye of tender youth.

Influence ofa Holy Life.-There is an
energy of moral suasion in a good mans
life, passing the highest efforts of the ora

of holiness speaks more eloquently of God
and duty than the tongues of men and an

greater part Of its moral power, to the pre-
cepts and parallels of Jesus Christ, and to
his own character. The beauty of that
holiness, which is enshrined in the four
