Taylor; New York. 1833. An entertaining little story, plainly told, of one of the most interesting periods in European histo. ry. The naivete with which Mr. Fontaine, in his old age, site down to entertain his HUguenot chit .dren with a family tale—the simple manner in which ho relates the stirring incidents and hair- breadth escapes of his adventurous life—carries the mind irresistibly back to the winter evening tales of childhood, and forcibly reminds us of the absorbing interest with which we used to devour the legends of the 'wrier", Though it purports to he the tale of a family, the work before us is the story of thousands. Va. vying the detail, with slight alterations, many, be sides his two thousand descendants, may read their family history in the auto-biography of Mr. Fon taine. The persecutions and oppressions which drove him from his belle Prance, drove our rinces. tors to the rock of Plymouth, and peopled the wilds of a new world with the champromi of civil and religious liberty. The protostants of Germs. ny, the Huguenots of France, with the dissenters and congregationalists of England and Scotland, fled from their father-land, to seek a place in en unexplored wilderness, where they might worship God, according to conscience and to reason. The early protestants wore dragooned from place to place in Catholic Europe and hunted down like beasts of the forrest. Steadfast in their faith, cy considered persecution a privilege, torture beatitude; and martyrdom, glory ; with spirits which oppression could not crush, nor cruelty tame, they had learned in the school of ,adversity, the worth of that freedom they could not enjoy. They it was who brought to the western hemis. phere the germ of liberty, out of which the indc pendenco of these United States was unfounded o tho world Though history proper makes us acquainted with the grand features and general outline of those times, by revealing to us the persecutions and sufferings, and heroism of the noted few, we can not catch from her formal manner,the spirit of the times. It is such works as the present,.that com- picto the picture. Mr. Fontaine takes us familiar ly by tho hnnd, leads us to his home, points us to the ruins of his church, which bigotry had razed, and where persecution forbade him to minister. HO conducts us thence with his neighbors to se cret worship in the wood. And entering into their feelings, we follow him and them to prison, where we witness the sufferings, and ore made fully ac quainted with the condition of the Huguenot of the 17th century. Mr. Fontaine commences the annals of his fami ly from his great grandfather, John de la Fontaine, who bore a commission in "Lea ordonances du Roy," in the household of Francis I. Ho con ducted himself so honorably and uprightly, that oven after his father and himself had embraced protestnntism at its first preaching in 1535, he re mained in his office, and continued in it during the reigns of Henry H, Francis 11, and until the second year of Charles IX. At the edict of Pacification, called the January Edict, granted in 1562,1th0 prolestants were lulled into false security, and induced to lay down their arms. John do la Fontaine trusting to the immu nities guarantied to them, deemed himself secure without the protection afforded by his office, and threw up his commission. But, continues our biographer, of the sworn enemies of God and his gospel, whu had long watched John do Is Fontaine, and conceived a deep hatred against him, thought the time had now arrived when they might safely put him out of the way ; and such a man being got rid of, it would bo comparatively easy to disperse the rest of the congregation to which he belonged. "It was in the year 1563 that some of these ruf fians were despatched from the city of La Mans in search of him ; and in the night timo, when he least expected such a fate, he was dragged out of doors, and his throat cut; his wife, within a few weeks of her confinement, had followed him, ho ping by her entreaties, to save his life; but she shared the same fate. James do b Fontaine, my grandfather, then Oci- JIRLESS X•DFR-EE. "Warrants were issued ; and the Grand Prov ost and his archers were in search of us. I was absent ; the country people, having had timely no tice, hid themselves in tho wood, and after scour ing the country, the archers found no one but the poor mason, who had officiated; him•they took, fastened to a horse's tail, and dragged to Saintes, a distance of fifteen miles. They threatened him is all kinds of ways, and assured him that ho would bo hanged as soon as they reached the cap- NO. It was late when they arrived—too late,they told him for to bo hanged that night, and that one solitary chance for life yet remained to him, and that was to recant without delay ; for if he once got within the walls of the prison, a hundred re. I gions would not save him from death." Mr. Fontaine was also thrown into prison ; and term commences the adventurous life of this sin. ular man.

I have seen his picture, and it certainly did repre sent him as a handsome man. • • • • "I now proceed to my own father, who at an early age discovered great aptitude for study, and a very serious turn of mind. I was the youngest child of my parents, and have but little personal recollection of your grandfather, being only eight years old when he died. Ho was a man of fine figure, clear complexion, pure red and white, and of so dignified a deportment, that he commanded the respect of all with whom he came In contact.. He absented himself on festive occasions, but nev er failed to visit every family in his flock twice a year. The sick and afflicted were visited as soon as their affliction was made known to him. When it was understood that he was praying with the sick, crowds would flock to hear him,-filling the house—for you must know that in that district all were protestants, save four or five families. Ho was most zealous and affectionate, and employed all his knowledge, his talents, and his studies in the service of God. He had great learning, quick and ready wit, clear and sonorous voice, natural and agreeable action, and Ito always made uao of the most chaste and elegant language ; and gen. nine humility, crowning the whole, gave such a charm to his discourses, that he delighted all who heard him. • • • .•I now return to my own history. I went to .writes tG terink, in -onto-to traro-thir nmviet rlt.e of two able and pious ministers, Mr. Mainard and Mr. Dorillak, in pursuing my theological studies. After awhile they also were cast into prison, and I returned home. "My brother Peter had been minister of my fa ther's pariah over since his death, and about this time ho was seized under a •lettre do cachet,' and confined in the castle of Oleron. The church at Vaux was levelled to the ground, and most of the churches in our province shared the same fate; thus my neighbors could not roach a place of wor ship without great fatigue; and feeling compas sion for them, as sheep without a shepherd, I felt myself called on to invite them to join me in my family devotions. Tho number who came soon increasmrto one hundred and fifty, and I then re commended to them not to come doily as hereto fore. I frequently changed the days of assem. nig, giving previous notice to the people; and we continued thin dealing intercourse uninter ruptedly during the whole winter. rumor prevailed that there were meetings in our parish, and that I was the preacher; but wo heal no traitor in our ranks, and the baptists were unable to discover any thing with sufficient cer tainty to make a handle of. Our holy intercourse continued without any drawback till Palm Sun. day, 1694. On that day some of my neighbors came to my house as usual, and not finding me there they retired to the wood behind my house, and ono of their number, n mason by trade, who read very well, officiated as their pastor. Ho read several chapters from the Bible, the prayers of the church, a sermon, and they sang psalms. This meeting having been open, it was noised abroad, and on Holy Thursday fromscven to eight hun dred persons assembled on the same spot, the ma. son again their pastor; and on Easter day the number increased to a thousand. • • • • “Paris, Sept. 8, 1777. “I have just received the letter, sir, with which you have honored me, and I hasten to thank"you for the many polite things you are so kind as to say of me, as well as for the desire you express to know whether we belong to the same family. From the details into which you enter, it would appear we have a common origin ; and in order that you may form your own opinion, I think / ought to tell you at once all I know of the name I hear. “INty family, down to my father ineltssice, was originally from Arnogon, a small village in Lower Dauphiny, where they possessed several manors, and where they had professed the protestant re ligion for nearly two centuries. At the timo o the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, my grand father, who had eleven older brothers—iiimself too young to leave homo with them—was brought up by one-of his maternal relatives in another village, called Peaga, three leagues distant from Arnagon , ho married there, and abjured; and at the corn. mencement of the present century he settled at Valais, a town in the county of Avignon, where my fatner died, after having re-established his for tune by commerce and an advantageous marriage. Thanks to his good example, and the education ho gave his children, they have done well, and he had the satisfaction of living to witness my ad vancement. Having given you this history of the branch from which 1 spring, I will proceed to re. late what I have heard of tho others whom I have never known. "Immediately after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, all our property was confiscated. The eleven brothers of my grandfather entered tho king's service ; three were killed at Mal Plaquet ; another made his fortune, and died in 1762—he was a brigadier in the Royal Life Guards; anoth. or settled on the confines of Perigord, or Guien ne ; but we have never had any intercourse with him, because of my grandfather having left his native place, and his children becoming orphans at an early age. 'We are in total ignorance of what has become of the remainder of tho family. "You see, sir, that in supposineyourself a do. seentlam of ono of these dispersed children, you will find no illustrious titles; we have little to boast of but the honor, the virtues, and the reputa tion for honesty and uprightness, which our an cestors always enjoyed in the neighborhood where they lived. Let us cherish the remembrance, so that we may never degenerate from those modest and estimable privileges. Let their example serve ua instead of the distinctions they could not trans mit. The conformity of name appears to indicate identity of race. I wish with all my heart we could discover the proof of it. For if we do spring from one stem, the separation cannot be far distant. It would ho very agreeable to me to be related to a man who introduces himself with so much kindness as you do. But if it may not be by blood, it shall at any rate he by esteem, and the consideration and sincerity with which I have the hohor to be, sir, your most obedient and very humble servant. • ~M AURY, (Jean Syfrein,) .Abbo de l'iteadamie dee arcades de Romo in 1773 Commendutaire do la Pronade, Chanoino, Vi cairo General qui olliicial do Lombez qui Pro. dicateur ordinniro du Roi.
