Whenever we draw a parallel be tween Northern and Southern production industry, thrift, wealth,. the few who feel; to parry the facts et all, complain that the instances are unfairly selected—that the commercial ascendancy of the North, with the profits and facilities thence seeming, accounts for the'striking preponderance of the North..

We, propose, therefore, t. 3 draw a parallel—or, rather, to cite one which we find, already drawn in a Thanksgiving ser mon by the Rev. Samuel Day of Bellows Falls,' Vermont—botween Virginia and Vermont—the oldess,ati largest of the Slave States and ono of the youngest and steeliest of the Eastern Free States. Sure ly, no one can candidly urge that the basis of this comparison is not us favorable as can be to Slavery. Virginia was the first English Colony on this Continent, on a location carefully selected ats4he most faVorable on the Con tinent, which it probably was. In mild ness of climate. fertility of soil, abendanee and variety,of timber, profusion and value of minerals, harbors, navigable rivers and water-power, she has no superior on the She has been two hundred and fifty years settled ; with the Atlantic and the glorious Chesapeake Bay washing her eastern borders, and the beautiful Ohio on the West ; her spacious territory proffering the largest variety of natural resources.— She was over the foremost Colony, and for ; years the most populous mid wealthy State of our Union. ILside her own chief eit- I ies, . remarkably favored by nafure, the Federal Metropolis is located within her original lini is, and four of the first five Presidents were chosen from among her sons. She has rarely been without at leant one voice in . the Cabinet, and the Federal Treasury lths been fairly emptied upon her Sims. But for the iufluenct• of Slavery, Virginia would inevitably have, been at this moment the most populous and powerful of the States, with the most varied industry and the amplest commerce, her sails whitening every sea and her min ends and manufactures finding markets in every quarter of the globe. Vermont, on the other hand, has nn sea -coast, no port save ou Lake Champlain, atul no navigable river; she first. began to be settled'in 1723, ono hundred and six teen years after the founding of Virginia, and when the latter was already a power ful and prosperous colony ; . ,sErs is barely one sixth •so large as VirgitA; (rife bitter having 61, 362 i.quare miles to Vermont's 10,212) ; she has of course lie external ' commerce and no considerable cities, her industry and trade building up marts nut- Bide of her borders exclusively ; she was claimed in her infancy as the possession of two rival Stares, and her people subjoe.ted to harassing prosecutions and forays which sadly retarded her growth ; her climate is harsh and her soil rugged ; she is nearly in one corner of the Union, almost out of the Union, out the track of immigration ; 1 . oho has oftener been out of than in favor at the Capitol, which is located hundreds' of miles from her borders ; she never had one of her citizens even • nominated (or' • President or Vico President ; never but' , once; and then for a brief period, had al seat in the Cabinet ; and has . tint received a fiftieth part the amount of Federal pat ronage that has been lavished on Virginia. Strike Slavery out of the caleulativa, and Virginia should this day have at least thrice the poptilation to. the square mile, of Vermont. And yet Virginia had in 1850 but a fraction over twenty-three in.! habitants to the ,square mile, while Ver.] moot had considerably more than thirty ;! though a very' large portion of Virginia's native born people are to-day on her soil only because they are so well watched and guarded. that they can Mr/ no opportunity I to ruu away. The Census further shows that only a. bout one in four hundred of Vermont's male inhabitants over 15 years of age is idle or out of employment; while the pro portion in Virginia is about one in , three. Vermont, though relatively, so young, with far less than a fourth the4population of Virginia, has invested more than half as much as the latter ju places of religious worship., - Vermont annually raises and disburses more than half as much as Vir ginia for the support of publics schools; and while Virginia has 87,383 free inhabi-, tants over 20 years of:age who can neither read nor write; Vermont has but 616 na : tive inhabitants in the like state of pitiable ignorauce. Virginia has less than one newspaper to every 20,000 inhabitants; Vermont more thee' one to every 10.000. And the difference between the intelli gence, refinement and enterprise of the mass of the Free White inhabitants of the two States is but faintly indicated by these statistics. Can any ,one:thoughtfully scan, the mounfaitis of evidencolike this of the an perior informatiou, morality, industry and thrift ofFree over Slave ; Staten, and then ask why'we resist the ExteUsiou and desire the extinction of Slavery ? Can,any hon estly accuse us in laboring to this end; of hostility or ill.tvill to the South ? Who can fail to see that Slivery :is the prods menial cause of, the relative ignorance.' poverty and inefficiency of the Staies which cherish ? If those who feel this would frankly stiy it, the chief cause of difference between the North- and ihe South Would soon pass away. 4 Stine Vila Rigel:MT or Attorß.—A Wart tending occUltrence took place s few tkye Ago in Bu?rkport, ColuMbia county, !few York‘ in which a child was killed while in the arms of its mother, and by her six let.

Once upon a time there was a clergyman —th e Rev. Dr. T—, of B—, a men of high character, and distinguished for his dignity of manner. But it was remarked that frequently as he was ascending the pulpit stairs he would smile, and sometimes almost titter, as if beset by an uncontrolla ble desire to laugh. This excited remark, and at last scandal. Finally, it was thought necessary for some of his clerical friends, at a meeting of the association, to bring up the matter for.consideration. The case was stated, the Rev. Dr. T— being present. ' Well, gentlemen,' said he, the fact charged against me is true, but I beg you to permit me to offer an explana tion. A few months after I was licensed to preach, I was in a country town, and on a Sabbath morning was about to enter upon the services of the church. Back of the pulpit was a window, which looked out upon a field of clover, then in full bloom, for it was Summer. As I rose to commence the reading of the Scriptures, I east a glance into the field, and there I saw a man per forming the most extraordinary evolutions— jumping, whirling, slopping in all directions, and with a ferocious agony of exertion. At first I thought ho was mad, but suddenlq the truth burst upon me, he had buttoned up a bumblebee in his pantaloons ! lam constitutionally nervous, gentlemen, and the shock of this scene upon my risible son aibilitiaa was so great that I could hardly get through the services. Several times was upon the point of bursting into a laugh. Even to this day the remembrance of this scene, through the temptation of the devil, often comes upon me as I am ascending the , pulpit. This, I admit, is a weakness, but I' trust it will rather excite your sympathy and your prayers than your reproaches.' Pulpit Peculiarities. A clergyman was once travelling on hoard of a western steamer, when among the pas sengers was a man who took great pains to make known that ho was opposed to religion, denouncing Christ as an impostor, and all forms of religion as delusions. lle was a man of ability and education, and a great wit, and his remarks seemed to have quito an influence upon his hearers: The clergy man refrained from saying anything for a time, but finally decided to silence him.— Asking the sceptic if lie believed in the im mortaliri of the soul, ha received as an answer: . _ - ' No, I have none.' g Do you believe in the existence of God?' • No.' Then sir,' replied the clergyman, ' I hare heard of yon before.' Heard of me ? Whore.' ' Yes-1 havo rend of yon.' Read about me! I was not aware that I Wag publi-hed. Pray where ?' ' In the Ps,.ltnn of David, sir, where it •atio The fool-itatititahl-irt-'his--heart; there is no God " At this unlooked for turn in the argument, there was one great laughter and hurra at the expense of the atheist, who confounded, and being unable to rally at being thus un expectedly called a fool, moved away to another part of the• boat.. During the re mainder of the voyago the wiseacre was silent On religions subjecta ; occasionally some of the passengers would tease him by slily observing, I have heard of you be fore.' The Love of Gold "Gold is worshipped in all climates, with out a single temple ; and by all classes, ; without a sicgle hypocrite." So some one. we know not who, has truthfully end pointedly said : "The love of gni,l is the master passion, the motive power, tZ:e main spring of multitudes, who plan only to grasp it, who live only for its accumulation. No enterprises are too per ilous, no sacrifices too dear, in the hope of %massing gold. It is gold. that tempts men to ... tntr ta ue trut h an d 00k :donee, to practice d u o,;ty and fraud, to violate sacred trusts, lito.ratt ft; aids, trample upon irtiligion, defy God, anti tu .:tke a covenant with death and agreement Cith hell.

The hove of gobd makes our bears and bulls, iu ths stock market, inflates prices, causes roof mercial patties, gets up visionary schemes, and leads thousands to embark in - friutless and ruinous speculation: Lover of gold, mark !

A few evenings ago, Col. Benton deliver ed a lecture in Boston, before the-Appren : tices' Library Association. A letter to the Now York Tribune says: I He opened it by giving, in a kindly, 'characteristic style, some very good advice to young men in general and apprentices in particular. 'They saw before them, here : marked, a person who had attained an age past the limit which the Psalmist assigns to the line of life, and now upon those years which the same Psalmist associates with sorrows and weakness.

BRECKENRIDGE AND GARRET Davts.--The celebrated ...rem Marshall" . has been edifying the Kentucky Supreme Court with one of his happiest hits. It was in a case on which the Vice President elect, Mr. Breckenridge, and Garret Davis, of Ky., were oppositig counsel. Mr. Marshall's . eliettes Son had been flogged by a gentleman for trespass sing upon his fish pond. Major Breck inridge contended that the correction was a wholesome and proper one, such ati he had been subjected to in his juvenile days, whe i p caught in any mischief. Trim mar• shall, in reply, said that both gentleinac had endeavored to magnify him into a great man— Kentucky's greatest lawyer and orator ; and both, in their political speeches, were in the habit of exor easing great confidence in the sagacity and intelli gence oldie people. Now, he wished to be informed how it was that, with such great superiority of natural genius and ac quirements. and with the additional advan wee of years over at least one of his ad• versaries, he remained plain Tom Marshall, hammering a miserable existence out of a few law suits at the bar ! while you." pointeg to his npp orient, John 0.
