Individual Accountability. A correspondent of the X. T. Tribune, in a recent aocouut of a visit once paid at the Hermitage, gives the following character istic anecdote of Andrew Jackson : "Gen. Jackson, though a member of a Presbyterian Churelu bad been sa id.-titi- rd with Dcmocracv.that he recarded and complained of the clergy as Aristocrats. Clergymen had callid upnu him to admi nister religious consolation, and to recon cile and prepare him to die, and he com plained ' they conic not to pray v ilh me. but fur mo, sir ; as though I was afraid, and not prepared to ui and uni noi ictiow grand" by all the youiiz gems, and ihwcet that I am at tbc very gaes of death; their by all the Misses a "psalm or hymn or spiri intcntions are good, but thty are Aristo- tual song" is allowed to be sung, every verse erats, sir. Th din of battle and the toil of civil service ended, the Hero Statesman was calmly waiting, at his chosen home, in a , ,, . ... cood old ape. 'he summous of the ineiora- f, a-, -i ble Conqueror. Then it was that h,e ...md, traveling back over his varied pathway, rested upon his mthr't hallowed form ; and the pious teachings which she instill, d into his boyish heart, brought forth fruit . ., . s i .e in the repentance and turning to Ood t.f , , . that stern old man. Imjiviki al Accot-N- TABIL1TT was the cardinal point in his re- ligious creed, as in his public acts and however much he might esteem the work of faith and labor of love of Christians, in the niinistrv or out of it. he f, It assured j in bis inmost soul that every one must render up a personal accour.t for the deeds done here in the body. Praying fur him would not answer j praying icith him, was grateful, and acceptable. But from this fixed, unalterable law individual accountability bow our race bae strayed, and are straying ' Among those called heathen, worshiping creatures instead of the Creator is the pel version of the true worship taught by God in his works and latent in the conscience.

Thus how generally is the personal duty of repent ncc.failu and love sought to be tr,insf rrel turned over to priests, and purchased wilh money ; or, personal sufferings and sacrifices tuUtttutd f r the homage of the mind, the crucifying of the lusts, and the devotion of tl e affections : All forms of error agree in one thing to steel if possible the heart against a full surrender of its powers and love to G d.

But were John the Baptist, the fishermen of Gali lee, or iney oi Aimocn were .tiarun i.iimrr or John Wesley to return to earth and alight in the cities of Christendom, we think they would take our houses of worship to he Pagan temples.

It has cost from .CO,000 to $100,000 enough in have built from S to 30 plain houses.each of which would accommodate as many precious souls as this "splendid church."

They raise means to support missionaries employed in convert ing those deluded heaihen who have praying machines or indiums, by which they nil off prayers by the yard; and they pity the " poor Papist" who counts her beads and repeats her creeds and ejaculations, parrot-like, supposing them to be available in her salvation. But what better are these "fashionable church" members, in this respect, than the objects of lhp,r benevolence ? Do they really pray, day bv da ! or A" lnpy re" " a week 1 Do not thry think in their ver hearts, if they pay a minister for praying, that his rm, rnmr prayers mu.t ab solve them from their own duty to God in that ' art of devotion? ixrni thought not so "with me, not roa me," was his desire ; he joixf.u in worship, not iistixfd to it, and be lieved that such only was "worshiping in spi rit and in truth;" and ts-invini-a t repentance, ' submission, and faiih, and not the repentance, submission and faith of a fellow sinner, was his creed.

Halyoke Female Seminary Stands in the center of South Iladlcy, a village situated in Central Mass , about ten miles from Springfiebljand containing about eight bundled inhahit.iuts. The Institu tion is built of brick, five stories high ; the lower one is partly under ground in front, as tbe surface slopes back. The main buil- dm 2 is tnncty-lour by litty tee. laces tue ported by round pillars. Ihere are two wings to the building which extend back aud are connected by a frame building used for wood rooms', thus enclosing a square court devoted to the purpose of the laundry. The whole- building contains enc hundred aud fifty private rooms for teach- room, library, cabinet, lecture room on first floor, two music rooms on the second floor, and ten recitation rooms in different parts, j There are at present sixteen teachers, and two hundred aud e'ghty pupils. The school is divided into sections.cacb teacher having , charge of one section. The pupils feel free to regard their section teacher as an older sister, M wh nil they can go for assistance whenever needed. It seems to be the ob ject of these teachers, while preparing the immortal miud for miugling with this world, to prepare it also to be happy with j angels in an eternal world. j The greatest beauty of the Seminary consists in the manner in w hich it is con-: ducted. Everything is done with such ! punctuality that there is no more confusion than in a well regulated private family. As tio young lady is admitted younger than 1 sixteen, each one is old enough to know , that all the rules of the Institution have been made to promote her own good, and . therefore cheerfully obeys them. j There are no domestics engaged in the !

Their diet is plain but wholesome, cold water is the only be verage, iieither tea or coffee being used. llelar exercise in the shape of a walk of ; two miles, or a ride ofci.ht miles, everv , , dity, is also required. The day is so di vided, and the exercises so happily varied, that performance of each study at its ap- pointed time becomes a pleasure, and time j .speeds pleasantly and profitably on. meiit of Makv Lvo.n, whoi-o noble mind j conceived and executed tho plan of tho , hiiii mar v. 1 be monument consists ofa ... ... . , I r.nA m..r .
