make-believes of rural association ?
Ail this metbodleal masquerading, however,
belongs 'only to the English denizens of tho
district that wc arc concerned with. Among
the nadllnted Gormaifa I. novor observed that
there were any forms, or fashions, or pretences
for 1 Afiectlng the sable . objects.' I suppose
the sentiment had 1 its natural force among
them, and In manifestation must havo had some
manner and. method j. but I never hqard tho
Word lovcbr courtship oh their lips, artd'l
hever'sdw the signs In any sort of display.
They .were. Inevitably married at maturity;
but how it came about nobody but the parties
cbnld tell, ahd they never did. They wrote no,
rbymes aud read no pbetry; so tho passion got'
no culture or confession in that form. They
patronized no novels or love literqturb in any
shape, and never betrayed their secret In that
way. Yet there were no old maids among them,
no bachelors, no widows and no widowers.
Their system must have had such certainties
.of operation as nothing e)so could equal; but
Inever could sec into tho mystery of It. They
attended their religious meetings on Sundays,
buttherew&s nothing to the perpoße in that, for
their.customs allowed no courtesies toward the
Sex ; they had no manners or ettquette which
' could give the opportunity ahd the ,covert for
any.sort.Qf lovcTmaking;. the beaux were never
BeeUsprucOdup eii route for their neighbour’s
hoodtsV social parties utterly unknown
among them; ' and they had no usages or acci
dents'cither, -that, could effect an accomodat
ing .intercourse,; In their ordinary working
dress,' the'young men might be seen going for,
or returning, some borrowed article, and they

problem stand* thus—no . merry-makings, no

dancings, no holidays, no cards, no compli

Iforeovcr, no d|yprc<;S or inatrlihooial bick
erings. The homia Sappiness might be very
homely, but it held'uniformly good, ’Recipro
cal wrongs of thesexea,; before or after' mar
riage, were never hoard of.' AH that was ex
pected was sure; and the surface looked like
contentment, andnothijjg deeper ever peeped’
jbrit to impesCh appearances,To bo suro, the
'.womeh could not read a word out of the Bible
and Psalter, and the men had only sb' much of
-srlthmeticand letters as served, to transact
simple agricultural -trade, and - master
the advertisements In the county newspaper.
But neither were, they sottish, selfish, ’ or even
riimhl. They Showed none of the signs of discon
itent, and they never , violated the municipal
.laws, the peaceful order of social life,.or com
bhlttcd suicide. The love relations were ever
; reasonable and regular, eonformable with tho
common interests and duties of theirliveß,and
probably, this was the reason'that there was
nothing else out of repair among them.
x This simplicity and sobriety is ‘ strictly true
priiyof, ttie : Drinkers, Menouists, and United
Brethren oftheGerman people; the Lutheran
and otherdenominaHonsamong them, were a
little more Englished in their habitudes; and
flie irreligioua and irregular borders of the race

Thodoorftontedthe road,and always,stood
wide open In flee weather. The-wiudows, low
and,long, were also opened (o the air ; and the
pitcher stood, and the congregation sat, as
niltch,exposed and out of dors, except for the
shelter of the roof, as if it had been literally
field-preaching.
. The .congregation, paade an odd picture, as
seenhy a horseman pausing in the road to look
and listen as hepassSdi The preacher could
be seeu upon the master’s platt'ona; bis open
bible on the writing desk t a la'rge-Sgurea silk
handkerchief thrown wisp-shape like a marker

ready to be turned up at the right plsee. The
congregation occupying the children’s benches,
which ran In rows rouhd tkrcu sldes of the
rbom, with their faces i*U turned upon tho
centre, where tho tea-plate stove stood. These
benches constructed, <ts they Were,' for the little
folks, gave the groyn-up occupants their own
trouble in managing the difference of pitch and
attitude, resulting from their greater length of
nethsr limbs. The feeblest of tho old, and
thelaziest of the young nSen,‘by planting their
elbows upon' -tbelrr kneeaj "and digging their
knuckled Into their cheeks, managed to hold
up their hoods and m&ke an appearance of at
tention; though half .the numberwere asleep,
or as easy in their minds os if- they were, before
thh,Services were' half, finished; The Brighter
ahd' hrisker'of th'e 'young, gentlemen,with
whom' the appearance -that they designed, to
make was 1 not- an .hypberisy,'.though full
enough of pretence, usually relieved themselves
of the irksome backward tilt, by thrusting forth
one leg," catching uplheother knee with locked
"fingers, and bracing shoulders, back and eleya.
ted limb - into a stiff • triangle that balanced
nicely. So they seesawed easily, if not ele
gantly,through the service, allowing themselves
any number of alternations -of the salient
shin, and as many pleasant changes of lair
faces, in the two comers of the women’s side
of the house.
I 1 Tho girls, of course,'observed the proprie
ties -better; maintaining their uprightness, cost
.What it might of effort, with the long-suffering
and patience of the sex, in all matters of duty
and' decorum. The old ladies—iho mother
Cumminses, and Baimelses, and Joneses—
.claimed the prlvileges of age and position, and
compromised the matter by making liberally
wide laps; and dropping their- bunohy little
bodies plump into them, and so taking it nice
and easy. , i . , •
I said the building would accommodate about
sixty people, but oh this fine May morning
there , are eighty Inside, and fifteen or twenty
lobby ing the service around the door and win
dows. Let ns look through the congregation
and get a little better acquainted with, at least,
the representative men and womon, which we
may readily,distinguish in the assemblage,
First of the insiders:
There are four substantial' farmers in the
number; two of them middle aged, the other
two, old men. Good people; pious constitu
tionally s that is, not vicious) intemperato, pas
sionato, or given to speculation ,ln stocks or
doctrines, and freo, from any worldliness that
can lead to immorality.
In tills community there is no indifferont
ism—nono bold enougli for scepticism—nono
strong enough to stand alono at.un equal dis
tance from tiio pious and the reckless. Every
man’s position is settled oasily and cortainly.
If he is not bad, he’s good, and of necessity a
church member. There is no infidelity and no
logic-built religion. The people are divided,
as they will bo distinguished in the final judg
ment, into those who do evil, and those that
practice righteousness. Tho crime of unbo
lipf, or misbelief, and the virtue of a sound
faith, havo no place in the dcstribution ol
the, parties to the right or left hand of the
judgment scat.
As these men sit now before ns, they seem
not to have a cate upon their minds, and I think
they havo not. The sunny spring morning
disposes them to slumber; they looked quietly
at their wheat crops os they came' to church,
tied their horses carefully to the saplings in
the grove above the school house, where they
aro always safe; the sermon is rather logical
and therefore unexciting, this morning, and
there is nothing to disturb them. What should
there bo? They arc settled in life without
thought of change; their children aro doing
wells they are out of debt, and havo tolerable
health; thoy live by habit; they mean no harm,
and are' decently They aro accus
tomed to say, and- to say truly, too, in class
meeting,■ that they « enjoy peace, and trust it
will be well With them when they come to
change the things of time and sense for a bet
ter world.” They “ have reason to believe
that they were converted in their youth,” and
they can testily that, though they have Hot
been so faithful as they sbonld have been, the
ways of religion are ways of pldasantn'ess, and
ail its paths are paths of peace. They, desire
the. prayers of the brethren,.that they may
hold out faithful to tho end, and hope to meet
them all in that .house not miido with hands,'
eternal in the heavens.” To.whicli the con
gregation say, amen, ahd tiira to Brother
Brown. Let us .turn with thorn. " •
He sits there in the corner of the back row
of benches, where the angle of the writing
desks that stand-against the walls affords him
bolsters'for hts elbows, ahd a retreat for' his
“ unworthiness.” It would riot be in keeping
with his profession of humility to toko a posi
tion that challenged observation. He is about
forty years of age; has .a .very round head,
low forehead, a globular- face without a dis
tinct feature, except an upper Up a little
swollen, and an under one so limp and raggy
that it looks as if it were made of wet buck
skin. His eyes are very little and anxiously
unsteady, and his hair is bushy, black, and
touscUcd. He wears his winter overcoat with
out a waistcoat, for bis summer clothos are
not good enough to go to meeting in. His
shirt collar stands as stiff as pasteboard around
his throat, as coarse in-texture almost as if it
were made of grape-vine chain, with oven-wood
'for filling. He 'greased his shoes last night, and
shaved himself this morning with a rough razor;
the cuts look Uke snips of red thread on tho
blueisb ground of his bristled chin, but tho
scraping has been so thoroughly performed that
it shows a very clean contrast with his open
neck, which is never washed.
He is chewing tobacco desperately, and
looking piteously for the preachers meaning.
Brawn is a zealously religious, but most un
prosperous fellow. H? is without- a fault in
conduct that the keenest scrutiny can detect ;
but, at the same time, without a point, of char
acter that any body likes. An innocent slack
twisted mortal, over-much given to whining,
seif-depreciation, and casuistry. Ho is ro
spcctftd.moro than respectful to everybody, but
gets nothing of tho kind in return,orany credit
for it. His humility is so sloppy that when he
says ho is nothing but' wounds, bruises and
putrifying sores ftom tho crown of tho head to
tho soles oftho feet, the figure seems quite too
like the fact, and makes one involuntarily think
of poultices and Jiht and ointment.
Ho never misses mooting in any wcathor,
though he has three mllis to walk to it over
that sort of ulmndoliedroad that usually strag
gles among tho hills in search of such lost
cabins as the one he occupies. For a dozen
years he has been taking and giving ten times
more trouble about the'saving of his soul than
Us total loss could possibly occasion to him
self and all tho congregation, whom ho worries
with tho incessant effort. Ilia habitual mood
of mind is a despairing pity for himself. Like
a lubberly ovor-grAwn boy, that ovory body
abuses, ho is always complaining in a strain and
tone which expects no sympathy, and he would
only whine the more if ho gotit. His piety in
a word is only a shabby sort of helplessness,
and ho keeps blubbering about it as tfhe really
boliovod that when the world, under whatever
provocation, casts him off, «the Lord will
take him up,” and expecting that sort of found
ling adoption, he is anxious to feel that he is
in the condition to secure it. His picture is
as nearly finished as lean paint it, when I have
added that he is a very fbll feeder, a very heavy
Bleeper, and a remarkably slow-goer.

PHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALE.—
,V THE ILLINOISOENTBAL RAILROAD OOMPAN?
IU now prepared to sell about 1,600,000 acres of choice
Fanning lands, in tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on
ong credits, and at low rates of interest.
These lands were granted by the Government to aid
In the construction of this Road, and are among the
richest and most fertile in the world. They extend
from North-East and North-West, through the middle
of the State, to the extreme South, and include, every
variety of climate and productions found between those
parallels bf latitude. The Northern portion is’ chiefly
prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and in the middle
and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating
with beautiful prairies and openings. ’ >
The climate is tnoro healthy, mild and equable; than
any other part of tho country—the air is pure ana bra
cing, while living streiuna and springs of excellent
water abound.
Bituminous Coal Is extensively mined, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fuel, being tarnished at many
points at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be had at the
same rate per cord. < -
Building Stone of excellent quality also abound#,
which can be procured for little more than the expense
of transportation.
The great fertility of these lands, which are a black
rich mould, from two to five feet deep, and gently roll
tag; their contiguity to this road, by which every foci
Utr is furnished for travol and transportation to the
principal markets North,. South.-Baat. West, and the
economy with which they can be cultivated, : render
them the most valuable investment that nan be fonnd,
and present the most favorable opportunity for persons
of Industrious habits and small means to acquire a com
fortable independence in a few years.
Chicago is not# the greatest groin market in the world;
and the facility and economy with which the products
of.thysa lands can be transported to. that market, moke
them much more profitable, at the price* malted. than
those more remote at goTernmqnt rates, as the addl
trac£portatioaU a perpetual tax bn the
Utter, which must be borne by tile ptoduoar, id the re
duced price he receives for his groin, 4te. , ?,*
The title U perfect—and when the final payments are
made, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by
tbe State, and ta whom the title is vested, to the pur
chasers, which convey to them absolute titles in fee sim
ple, free and clear of ewery Incumbrance, lien or mort
gage. ‘ < >;
- The prices are from $6 to $3O 2 interest only $ pbr ct.
Twenty per ct. will be deducted from tbffpriee for eadt.
Those who purchase on longcredit, give notes payable
in two, three, four, five and six years afterdate, and are
required to Improve one-tenth annually for five-years,
so as to have one-half the Usd under cultivation at the
end of that time.
Competent surrayora will aoeompany those wfcd Wish
to examine these Lands, freo of ohargo, and aid them in
making selections.
The Land* remaining unsold are as rich and valuable
as those which have been disposed of.
