WRITER'S ON RELIGION

The events Of human life, as well as the
appearances of material nature, may ordi-
narily DO traced to the influence Of obvious
and uniform causes. But there are examples
in which the operation of these causes is APP
parently suspended. When, in the ono case
the earth is rent by commissions, and the air
agitated by tempests, and, in the other, the
powers and passions of the human mind arc
exerted in manner so wild and unprece-
dented, as to appear released for time from
the empire of truth, and the authority OF
reason. The most striking instance Of this
abandonment, in the history of the human
mind, is furnished by the annals of French
literature, during the reign of Louis XIV,
an era of intellectual splendor and moral
dprkness. The names of Hel@tius, Of
D'Alembert, of Diderot, of Buifor, and Of
Voltaire, have shed an unfading glory on the
literary reputation of their country. But
the siokening spectacle Of misery and crime
afforded by the subsequent revolution, is
melancholy proof that the acquisition was
dearly made. In the history of France they vii
always occupy conspicuous place. Theil
names are engraven in characters which car
never be etfaced, on the ruins Of all that wa,
sacred and venerable in the institutions OF
their country. Rousseau, both from his writ
ings and his life, deserves to be reckoned
smong the first. The character of this man
is marked with the peculiar beauties and
blemi5hes of great genius. To a powerful
mind and delicate taste were unhappily
united those restless and violent propensities,
which, while they furnish an evidence OF
genius too often render its energies ungov
ernabe and dangerous. All the fraltics
indeed, which usually accompany such dispo
sitlops, were conspicuous in the character Of
this unhappy man. A morbid and feyerisl
scnsibility,a restless desire for fame, without
the industry which is necessary for obtaining

vice. This became apparent in the profit.

Advice to Sheep Breeders.

John E. Massey, the Auditor of Public
Accounts of Virginia, has written letter to
the Jeffersonian Republican, published at
Charlottesville, Virginia, containing many
suggestions in relation to sheep culture, the
result of his experience. He considers the
use of bells on his sheep as complete pro-
lection from the rayages of dogs. He says
he has had none killed since he adopted the
bells. They serve double purpose-fright-
en- off the dogs and attract the attention of
persons within hearing, as the sheep become
frightened and start to run as soon as they
are conscious of the approach of a strange
dog. On flock of about $50 sheep he
keeps thirty bells, but smaller flocks should
have one bell to every third sheep. The
bells cost but little, and are so effectual that
they pay well: This opinion Of Mr.: Massey
confirms similar advice published in The
American several years since, which would
have saved thousands of sheep had the plan
been adopted by our Maryland farmers.
