MELANCHOLY NOT RELIGION.
About an age ago, it was the fashion for
every one that would be thought religious, i
to throw as much sanctity as possible into '
his face, and, in particular, to abstain from
all appearances of mirth and pleasantry,
which were looked upon as the works of
a carnal mind. The saint was of a sor
rowful countenance, and generally eaten ,
up with spleen and melancholy. A gen- j
tleman who was lately a great ornament j
to the learned world, has diverted me more
than once with an account of the recep- j
tion which he met with from a very fa
mous Independent Minister, who was head*
of a College in those times. This gentle- I
man was then a young adventurer in tiie
republic of letters, and fitted out for the 1
university with a cargo of Latin and Greek.
His friends were resolved that lie should
try his fortune at an election which was
drawing near in ihe college, of which the -
Independent Minister whom 1 have before '
mentioned, was president. The youth, |
according to custom, waited 011 him in
order to be examined. He was received
at the door by a servant, who was one of
that gloomy generation that were then in
fashion. He conducted him, with great j
silence and seriousness, to a long gallery
which was darkened at noonday, and had 1
only a single candle burning in it. After
a short stay in this melancholy apartment, j
he was led into a chamber hung with black, j
where lie entertained himself for time by 1
the glimmering taper, till at length the
head of the college came out to him from
an inner room, with half a dozen night !
caps upon his head, and religious horror
in his countenance. The young man
trembled; but his fears increased, when :
instead of being asked what progress he ,
had made in learning, he was examined
how ho abounded in grace: his Latin and
Greek stood him in little stead: lie was to
give an account only of the state of his j
soul; whether he was one of the elect; ;
what was the occasion of his conversion; 5
upon what day it happened; how it was
carried 011, and when completed. The j
whole examination was summed with one j
short question, namely, whether lie was j
prepared for death. The boy, who had
been bred up by honest parents, was fright
ened out of his wits at the solemnity of
the proceeding, and by the last dreadlu!
interrogatory; so that upon making his cs- '
cape out of the house of mourning, he j
could never be brought a second time to |
the examination. Notwithstanding this
general form and outside ol religion is
pretty well worn out amongst us, there are
many persons, who by a natural unohecr
fulness of heart, mistaken notions of piety,
or weakness of understanding, love to in
: dulge this uncomfortable way ol life, and
! give themselves up to grief and inelancho
; ly, as if mirth was made for reprobates,
1 and cheerfulness of heart denied those who
| are the only persons that fcave a proper
| title.
! J would by no means presume to tax
THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1857,
such characters with hypocrisy, as is done
too frequently; 011 the contrary, as there
are many excellent persons who are weigh
ed down by this habitual sorrow of heart,
they rather deserve our compassion than
; our reproaches. 1 think, however, they
would do well to consider whether such
behavior does not deter men from a relig
ious life, by representing it as an unsoeia
i ble state, that extinguishes all joy and glad-
I ness, darkens the face of nature, and de
, stroys the relish of being itself.
Those who represent religion in so un
i amiable a light, are like the spies sent by
j Moses to make discovery of the land of
promise, when by their reports they dis
couraged the people from entering upon it.
Those who show us the joy, the cheerful
ness, the good humor that naturally spring
up in this happy state, are like the spies
bringing along with them the clusters of
| grapes, and delicious fruits, that might in
vite their companions into the pleasant
country which produced them. The con
i temptation of the Divine Being, and tiie
i exercise of virtue, are in their own nature
so far from excluding all gladness of the
, lu-art, that they are perpetual sources of it.
In a word, the true spirit of religion cheers
as well as composes the soul, tills the mind
; with a perpetual serenity, uninterrupted
cheerfulness, and an habitual inclination to
please others, as well as to be pleased in
itself.
A BIT OF ROMANCE.
Five or six years ago, a rich Louisiana
planter died, leaving an only heir, a daugh
ter, who was not quite seventeeu years
old. She, together with her fortune, was
placed in the charge of a guardian, who
was distinctly related to the family. Her
fortune, and her remarkable beauty, at
tracted the attention of many suitors, am
ong which was an accomplished young
man from St. Louis, whose only wealth
was his profession. His handsome person
and fascinating manners won the lady's
afiections, and without the knowledge of
her guardian, they were privately married.
Shortly after they removed to St. Louis
where they lived together happily for a
time, and a bright future seemed to be he
fore them. At the expiiaiion of ihe year,
the lady having attained her majority, they
returned to New Orleans to claim her for
tune, and live in the splendid old family
mansion. They were coldly received by
the occupant, who deliberately informed
them that the estate had passed into other
hands. They at once applied to the law
lor redress, and going through llie protract
ed formalities of two or three fruitless suits,
they were left penniless, and obliged to
abandon the ease. Friendless and dispir
ited they returned to St. Louis, where the
husband, like many other husbands, tried
to drown the remembrance of bis disap
pointment in the fatal cup. His wife en
treated and admonished in vain. A sepa
ration was the consequence, and the hus
band became more reckless and dissipated
than ever. Driven at last to desperuiion,
the wife applied for a divorce, obtained it
and retired to a convent. This restored
tiie wretched man to liis senses; he aban
doned liis former associates, lo
the path of virtue, and became a respecta
ble aud industrious citizen.
A few months ago, the lady received a
letter from the son of her formr guardian,
informing her of his determination to make
full restoration, closing with an appeal to
her to forgive his misguided parent, and to
come to New Orleans and receive her for
tune. She at once complied with his gen
erous request; and all her inheritance to
gether with the accumulated interest, was
restored to her.
Now comes the strangest part of this
extraordinary affair. The young man of
fered her his hand in marriage, and piead
with all the earnestness of impassioned
love. lie reminded her of all her child
ish attachment, of his deep anguish when
she became the wife of another, and of
the long years of his silent sorrow. All
these remembrances came up before her
mind, and gratitude plead eloquently in
his favor; but at last the wife triumphed
over the woman. She thanked him and
gave him her simple blessing—told him
she had loved out one and could never
love another. She entreated him to take
back all her fortune, and permit her to
return to the convent. Finding ler reso
lutions unalterable, he consented, on con
dition that she should postpone her return
one month. lie immediately wrote to the
former husband, who was ignorant of what
had transpired, offering him a first rate
situation, on condition lie would come im
mediately. The letter was signed by the
principal of a well known Firm, who was
apprised of every circumstance in the case.
As soon as the letter came to hand, the
overjoyed recipient took passage for New
Orleans. lie presented himself at the
place designated in the letter, and at once
made himself known by showing his cre
dentials. He was conducted to the resi
dence of the generous heir, where he was
informed, the writer ok the letter waited to !
receive him. His name was announced, j
and he was conducted into an elegant par
lor, and there, alone, he met the woman j
he had neglected and dishonored—the wo- !
man who had been forced to leave him.
but who could not quite give him up.
A few days afterwards the city papers
announced the marriage of Mr. and
Mrs. . The estate was restored to
the lawful owners, and the reconciled
couple, made wiser and better by adversi
ty, are now living happily together.
It is good to turn sometimes from the
cares and turmoils of politics, and contem
plate human nature rising up from the
depths of misery and despair, casting aside
selfishness, and reaching that standard of
purity and happiness which so few attain.
A FATHER SWINDLED BY HIS ■
SON.
Early one morning last week, 111 Phila
delphia, a rough specimen of a Huntington
county farmer made his appearance at the
Central Depot of Criminal Justice wi ha •
complaint against his son.
It seems, that about a month ago, the
son aforesaid determined to leave "his na- 1
live hearth," and came on a visit to the
City of Brotherly love. Like Cecsar, "he
came—he saw—he conquered,"—but be
fore he achieved the victory, lie engaged
board at a city hotel. While there, he
found very agreeable company in the body
of a youth, whose morals were not First ;
class, and who was of the "artful dodger" ;
order.
Hut funds, like woman's love, are evan
escent, and so our second "Nerval" found i
his Financial liabilities exceeded his reve j
nuc, ami one of the "Charley Hates" of,
bis friendship formed a plan to replenish •
the Treasury.
The "son of iiis father" wrote to his
paternal ancestor, and staled that he had
drawn a prize of $35,000 in a lottery, and
that ihe money was deposited in Adams' j
Express in this city.
Before the dollars could be obtained,
however, the son stated lhal there were
sundry expenses to be met in the feeing of
lawyers, <fce., in this city, and which ex- j
peases amounted to upwards of 8100.—
This sum he requested iiis father to send i
him, and at the same time lie made ibis !
request, sent letters purporting to be from
certain legal gentlemen of Philadelphia, in
relation to the matter. Of course these
were all forged.
The father, on receipt of this precious
document, hurried from his hearth, aud
sent word for his son to meet him at Har
risburg. "They met!" The elderly gen
tleman forked over the reqliired money,
and the son took the train for some other
spots unknown. The parent, on reaching
home, and remaining there about a week,
began to look for the $35,000 that was
coming. He looked again and again, and
at last came to the decided and emphatic
conclusion that he had been "sold" by his
offspring.
There is not much filial love up in Hun
tington, and the enraged and duped father
threatened vengeance dire on the head of
the offender. He came post haste by rail
road to this city, and having ascertained
the whereabouts of the Mayor's office, en
tered his complaint. High Constable
Blackburn gave him some considerable ad
vice—cooled him ofT to a great extent, and
told him that the best thing he could do
was to go home and trust to the Detectives,
and the conscience of his son to set mat
ters right, lie did so, and whether the
future will see the unfortunate scion of
Huntington county landed in the States'
Prison, or shipped to Nicaragua, remains
to be seen.— Pennsylvanian.
is said that thirty thousand slaves
were sold and removed from Virginia last
year, and that two thousand more escaped.

A DESPERATE ACT.— Cut her Hand off.
On \\ ednesday night last, tlie 22tl of
April, says the Boonsboro' (Md.) Odd Fel
low, a colored woman, aged about 20 years,
the property ol Susan Gray, residing some
four miles from this place, under the im
pression that she was to be sold South,
deliberately took an axe and laid her left
hand on the root of a tree and chopped it
so near ofl that it hung but by a little skin.
She made six cute, at different places, all
of which, save one, went nearly through.
After committing the act she crawled under
the bake oven, where she was found the
next morning, completely prostrated from
the loss of blood. But for the coldness of
the night, causing the blood to coagulate,
she must have bled to death. The hand
was taken off above the wrist, by Dr, O.
J. Smith, and brought to town, and was
the cause ol attracting crowds to the Doc
tor s office. Such a determined act at
maiming we have seldom, if ever, heard of.
£A man living in Byron, Ogle count}-.
Illinois, was lately punished summarily
and severely by his fellow citizens for in
human treatment of a step-child. He had
married a widow with two children, and
took mortal offence at some remark that
one of them made to him. Setting his
wife away, by going with her to call at a
neighbor's, he returned home, aroused the
child from sleep, and proceeded to beat it
until it was insensible, when he deliberate
ly washed the blood from the clothes of
the child and the bed clothes, and returned
to the place where he had left his wife.
A neighbor happened to witness his cruel
ty, and, when the child tvas considered to
be iu danger, she informed the authorities,
and he was arrested. The citizens look
him into the street and gave him such a
castigation as he will probably remember
; to the day of his death.
A Female Religious Duel. —The Cor
respondence Havre has the following ac
count ot a female religious duel:
"The Swiss Protestants are absorbed
by a serio-comic topic. It is a feminine
duel which has just taken place, apropos
to the unsolved questions between the dis
ciples of IJU titer and Calvin. Twoyounc
women, teachers of Berne, made fanati
cal by their reading, and the individual in
terpretations which it suggested, could not
agree upon a point of doctrine, and finally
agreed to resort to force to settle the ques
tion. The place of meeting was the most
obscure part ot a neighboring wood, the
hour fixed was two o'clock—seconds had
procured the steel weapons, for the duel
was to be fought with swords. After sev
eral lively thrusts, one of the lair combat
ants received a severe wound in the knee,
and fell upon the grass fainting,
i "The combat ceased, but our two caus
ists in petticoats have already rallied a
; good number of adherents. It is a new
element of discord with the Bernese. I;
has almost eclipsed the Neufchatel ques
tion.
