C3aIdUC.OIOT.O FOR THE ETAR AND BANNER M 11. F:DIT011--S1r: liking a reader of your paper, 1 a short time ago, cast my eyes upon an article in it treating of the Contest of the Philomathwau nad Phrenakosinian Societies of Pennsylvania College.— So far as the article extended it was correct, and a greed pretty well with my sentiments on the subject; but yet, methinks, that wheneter any thing of the kind is mentioned in the public papers, it would be well enough for the person who hands it to the Kin ter, to state to the public also what faults there may have been, both as regards the performers and the performances: Therefore, as the author of the article alluded to*, did not observe any, or at least did not mention any, Las a spectator of the occasion, will proceed to state, in a few words, in so far as lean re collect, what appeared to me to be faulty. First, then, as regards the performances, I would sac, as a general matter, I was pleased with the whole of them; but as regards particulars, I would remark, and this remark I consider applicable to all, they were too long. None -of them amid havi3 ex ceeded fifteen minutes in time. The Essay of Cif/OILER L. bordered a little too much on Abercrombie, and was almost too metaphy sical for an audience, composed principally of young persons, who, I suspect, have never paid any atten tion to that branch of literature. That of Gronoa's was more adapted to the taste of the young; for it was entirely of a flimsy, figurative character: but as there were a good many present whose deep-search ing geniuses wait for substance of a weightier nature, he should not have so entirely slighted and disap pointed them. Next came Gorrttza, who gave us some very beautiful descriptions of the great public edifices of Remy, and of the persons who occupied them; and who, I suppose, by his flaming elocution and vehem• cut gesticulation, was thought by many of the bearers to have borne the palm of the evening : But when Ciinis•rinw arose, he soon, by the calmness of his speech and manliness of his gesture, showed me, and I have no doubt, the majority of the audience, the fol ly of Gottlieb's wishing to thwart nature herself by introducing, or at least trying to introduce too much art The substance of the oration Ido not sufficiently I remember to state any thing about particulars in it. Now comes old JAMES It, and with the number and variety of his figures and allusions almost enchan ted the assembly, especially the female part of it, whose tender passions are generally very much lifted up by such descriptions as the gentleman, just men tioned, gave us; but yet, if I understood the question of debate rightly, and the side which he supported, I must say,that I thought he was generally pretty far from proving his point. His arguments were as the Asymptote. a line which approaches a curve nearer aud nearer, but though extended ever so far would never, never meet; so it was here—the arguments proceeded in the way of a climax, nearer and nearer the point, but owing to a thing the gentleman could not touch, viz. Christiantty, they would not prove it: But, on the other hand, TOBIAS W. showed clearly wherein lay the fault of James R.'s arguments, and also established his own pretty well. The chief fault that I observed in Tobias W.'s performance wat,that he utterly neglected his pauses, or rather, ho placed all wrongly. But wo must cease with this part of the subject, and for the sake of hi evity merely touch up on the other—which is, what we thought faulty a bout the Performers. I will but make general what I have to say on this point; because I believe what suits one in one respect, suits another in another respect. The performers on this occasion, as on all such occasions, attended too much(to use a common expression) to the rigging off of body, the external man. There was too much of the white stockings, the new black dandy-coat, the red and white waist-coat, the diamoud,or at least the imitation of the diamond breast-pin, the golden or yellow guard, the green spectacles, &c &c. Now, these things may do among the gay and the fashionable of our cities and towns; but let me tell you, when the Country-man or Mountaineer is pres ent, who comes to see the mind well dressed and the body in a more natural plainness, such things look rather a little disgusting than pleasing, and have too much the appearance of wishing to make,at least,thc body shine, if even the mind is not so bright. some one will, no doubt, say, there's the exhibition of a country-emu's taste; but the country-man replies, if my taste for things that feed the mind is correct, I care not how corrupt it may be as regards those of the body A FARMER'S SON. •Tho article allutled to wag an Editorial notice of the "Couteftt," and referred only to the perfortaances wholly, not particulsrly.l—En.

One summer morning, the Doctor, on his way back from a visit in that direction, stopped as on such opportunities ho usually did at Mr. Bacon's wicket and looked an at the open casornent to see if his friends wore within. Mr. Bacon was sit ting there alone, with a book open on the table be fore him; and looking round whoa ho heard the horse stop, "Como in. Doctor, for," said ho,"ifyou have a law minutes to spare, you wore never more welcome." The Doctor replied, "I hope nothing ails either Deborah or yoursolfi" "No," said Bacon, "God he thanked, but sotnothing has occurred that con cerns both." When the Doctor entered the room, ho perceiv ed that the wonted serenity of his friend's coun tenance was overcast by a shade of melancholy tho't. "Nothing," said he, "1 hope has happened to distress you?" "Only to disturb us," was the reply. Most people would probably think that we ought to consider it a pioco of good fortune.— Ono who would be thought a good match for her, has proposed to marry Deborah." "Indeed," said the Doctor, "and who is ho?" fooling, as ho asked the question, an unusual warmth in his face. "Joseph liebblethwait, of the Willows. He broke his mind to me this morning, saying that ho thought it best to spook with me before he made any advances himself to thu young woman; in. deed ho had no opportunity of so doing for he had soon littlo oilier; but he had enough of her char acter to believe that she would make a good wife, and this ho said, was all ho looked for, he was well to do in the world." "And what answer did you make to this matter of fact way of proceeding?" "I told him that I commenced the very proper Course, that he had taken, and 1 was obliged to him for the good opinion of my daughter which he was pleased to entertain; that marriage was an affair in which I should never attempt to direct her inclinations, being confident that she would never give inn cause to oppose them; and that 1 would talk with her,and inform him of the result. As soon as I mentioned it to Deborah,she coloured up to her eyes,& with an angry luok,of which I did not think those eyes had been capable, she desired me to tell him that ho had better loose no time an looking elsewhere, for his thinking of her was no use.'"Do you know any ill of him said I. "No," she replied, "hut I never heard any good and that is ill enough. And Ido nut like hie looks." "Well said, Deborah," cried the Doctor, clap ping his hands so as to produce a sonorous token of satisfaction." "Sorely, my child," said 1, "ho is not an ill looking person." "Father," she roplied, "you know he looks - as if he had not ono idea in his head to keep company with anothoi "Well said, Deborah!" repeated the Doctor. "Why, Doctor do you know any ill of him?" "None." '"But as Deborah says, I know no good; it must have come within my knowledge. I cannot help knowing who the persons are to whom - the peas. entry in my rounds look with respect and good will, and whom they consider their friends as well as their betters. And in like manner I know who they aro from whom they expect neither courtesy nor kindness." "You are tight my friend and beborah is right.

"Yet;" said the doctor, "1 have often thought how sad a thing it would bo for you over to part with her." • "Far more sad will it be for mo to leave her un protected; as it is but too likoly, that in tho °Min- ary course of nature, I one day shall; and as any in that. samo ordinary 'course, I so possibly may.

I meant to train up Deborah In the way she should go by fitting her for that state of life in which it pleased God to place her, so that she might have made a good wife for amnia honest man In the hum• bler walks of life, might have been happy with him." "And how was it possible, replied the doctor that you could have succeeded -better? Is she not qualified to be a good man's wife in any rank? Her manner would not do discredit to a mansion; her management would make a farm prosperous or a farmer comfortable, for her principles and temper, and cheerfillness, they would render any home a happy one." "You have not spoken too highly in her praise, Doctor. But as she has from her childhood been all in all to me, there is a danger dual may have become too much so to her, and that while her habits have properly been made comfortable to our poor means, and to her prospects, she has been accustomed to a way of thinking. and a kind of conversation which hos given her a distaste for thoso whose talk is only of sheep and oxen, and whose thoughts never get beyond the range of their every day employtnents. In her present cir cle, 1 do not think there is one man whom she would not have the same intellectual objections as to Joseph Liebblethwaitc; though I am glad that the moral objection was that which fiat instinc. Lively occurred to her. "I wish it were otherwise, both for her satte,and my own; for hers, because the present separation would have mom than enough to compensate and would in its consequences, mitigate tho ovil of the final one, whenever that may be; for my own, because I should then have no cause what ever, to render the prospect of dissolution other wise than welcome, but be as willing to die as to sleep. It is not owing toany distrust in Provi denco that I am not thus willing now—God for bid! But if I gave heed to my foelings, I should think that I am not long for this world; and surely it were wise to remove the only cause that makes me fear to think so." "Are you sensible of any symptoms that can load to such apprehensions?" said tho Doctor. "Of nothing that can be called symptom. lam to all appearance,in good health,of sound body and mind, and you know how unlikely my habits era to occasion any disturbanco in either. But I have indefinablo impressions--Sonsations they might also be callcd—whicla as such I cannot but regard thein." "Cau yon describe those sensations?" "No bettor than by Baying that they hardly a mount to sensations, and are indescribable." "Do not," said the Doctor; "I entreat, give way to any feelings of this hind. They may lead to consequences which without shortening or en. dangering life, would render it anxious and burth. ensome,a❑d destroy bothyour usefulness and your corn fort." "I have this feeling, Doctor, and you shall pre scribe for it, if yon think it requires either rogi. men or physic. But at present you will do more good by assisting me to procure for Deborah such a situation as she must necessarily look for on the event of my death. What I have laid by, even if it should be most advantageously disposed of,would afford her only a bare subsistence; it is a resource in case of sickness, but while in health it would never bo her wish to eat the bread of idleness.— You may have opportunities of learning whether any lady within the circle of your practice, wants a young person in whom she might confide, eith er as an attendant upon herself, or to assist in the management of hor children or her household.— You may be sure this is not the first time that I have thought upon the subject, but the circum stance which this day occurred, and the feeling of which I bare spoken, have pressed it upon my consideration. And the inquiry may better be made, and the step taken, while it is a matter of foresight, than when it has become a matter of ne. cessity." "Let me feel yuor pulse:" "You will detect nu other disorder there," said Mr. Bacon, holding out 64 arm as he spoke, "than what has been caused by this very interesting conversation, and the declaration of a purpose which though for some time intended, I have never till now fully acknowledged to myself." "You have never, then, mentioned it to Debo no other way than by sometimes incidental. ly speaking ofthe way of life which would be opon to her. iu case of her being unmarried at my death." "And you have mado up your mind to part with "Upon a clear conviction that I ought to do so —that it is best for herself and me." "Well then, you will allow me to converse with her first, upon a different subject. You will al. low me to see whether I can speak more success. fully for myself than you have done for Joseph Hobbletwaito. Have I your consent?" Mr. Bacon arose in great emotion, and taking his friend's hand, pressed it fervently and tremis. lously. Presently they hoard the wicket open, and Deborah came in. "I dare say, Deborah," said her father compos. leg himself, "you have bean tolling Betsey Allison of the advantageous offer you have this day refug ee, "yes," replied Deborah,"and what do You think she said?

"So right that you foyer pleased me so well be. fore, and never can please me better unless you will accept of me in his stead."

HORRID EFFECTS OF INTE3IPERANCE.--A man in Delaware county,named Thompson, was lately sentenced to the Penitentiary for biting off a piece of the upper lip, the eye. brows, and ears of his father, in a drunken frolic. • Scene at a Temperance Meeting. An amusing scene was exhibited by Doc tor Underhill during his lecture at the Tem perance meetin. , held last Tuesday evening. Imagine that the Doctor, anticipating that his sturdy constitution would sink under the fatigue of an hour's lecturing, without some artificial stimulant to cheer his spirits and strengthen his nerves, had taken a bottle of "Old Madeira," to church and hid it be: . hind the pulpit, for use when his flagging spirits should require the drunkard's nerve to sustain him. In thecourse of his lecture, the Doctor gave a chemical analysis of the properties of alcohol, of the process of sepa rating it from its adjunlts, and the different proportions of it in brandy, wine, &c. The Doctor was proceeding to o show the effects of "the critter" on the human system; when, to give more buoyancy to his spirits and more fluency to his tongue, he drew forth his bottle of wine, and proceeded to fill a glass with the delicious beverage. At this moment a wag, who, unknown to the Doc tor, had taken to the meeting ,a bottle of brandy, and some water and sugar, that ho ' too might refresh himself with his favorite 4 bevePage, drew forth his bottle and pitcher, and placed them on the other end of the [WHOLE NO. 321. table• The Doctor was about to raise the glass of wine to his lips,when his eye caught the wages the latter was preparing to mix his brandy sling.
