And t thought hi tranquil visage bore
The noblesse of the hilla.

And lighter clay than thou ;
I do not languish nil scanty fiire,
Nor fade on the mountains brow.
And nietbnuulit, though rude his looks and

And my very ioul grew thill,
A I faw him Hush with the tires of bell
When he told of his deeds of ill. , -
The strain of triumph o'er him swept
Fiercely and darkly he smiled;
It ceaited ; the murd'rer turned and wept ;
He had spoken of his child.
Tlie mountain maid stood in the wind, .
In natural loveliness;
And in her lace I read her mind
Ws simple as her drew,
ller feelings knew no artful check,
Her tile and soul were true;
The heart and cross hurig on her neck,
And they were all she knew.
I saw the wanton child of sin
I gaudy beauty drest :
Defilement dwelt her tips within,
And horror in her hreast.
The net of vanity and youth
She spreads with eager bands,
When lo! the hnlirst son ol truth,
.Tksi.s, before her stands.
The withering rosos leave her hair,
The bold senile disappears,
She bows before him in despair,
She bathes his feet with tears.
ThanVGou' thou blessed human heart,
There is ever hope tor thee;
Thou hearest wheresoever thou art,
His slamp of majesty.
Could man but love the guilty one
As the just lion loves him still,
The race ot crime would soon be run,
And crushed the power of ill. .
Could we but pray as Jwrs prayed;

And earth were borr. anew.'

A SROItV Of TUB StU'TIIWKST,
How the Mountain Utackatnlih vvaa Con.
- verlrd.
Thn scene in laid in the mnunlainotn rrginns
ofOeorgia. Mr. Fnrgerott, a blacksmith, had a
Croat' antipathy against all Minister, and Me
thodist Ministers in particular. Ilia shop was
in a narrow mountain pas, and he declared his
determination to whip every Method at preach
er that passed hia shop. The Rev. B. Slubble-
worth, however, readily consented to go there,
and the luliowiiij; describes his ride through the
mountains:
Forgcrnti had lirnrd of his new victim, and
rejoiced that his eize and appcArnncc ftirniMhcri
a hotter 6tibjrct for liia venopunco than the at
tenuated frame of the Inte parson. Oh, what a
nice beating he would have 1 He had heard,
too, that some minister were rather spirited,
and hoped thnt thia on" might be provoked to
fight, know ing that the clergyman must puss
on Saturday, in the afternoon, he gave his stri
ker a holvt.'ay, and regaled himself on the beau
ties of 'Join l'aine, awaiting Ihe approach of
the preacher. It was not over an hour be lore
he heard the words
"Oh. how happy are they who their Saviour obey,
And have laid up their treasures above."
Rung in a lull, clear voice , and soon the vocal
ist, turning the angle of the rock, rode up with
a continued smile on hie face.
'Howareyoti, old Slebsides ! ' Get off your
horae, and join in my devotion,' said the
smith.
M have miles to ride, answered the preach
er, 'and I hav'nt time, my triond. I will call
when I return.'
Your nnme ia Stubble worth.'
Ve,' he meekly replied.
'Didn't yon know my name was Ned Forge
ron, the blacksmith that whips every Methodist
preacher tbut comes uUmg V was asked with an
audacious look , 'and how daro you come here?'
The preacher replied that he had heard of
Forgeron's name, but presumed that he did not
molest well-behaved travellers.
'You presume so! Yes, you are the most pre
sumptuous people, you Methodist, thnt ever
trod shoe leather, anyhow. Well, what 'II you
!o, you becf-lieadd disciple, you V
Mr. Stt:hbleworth professed his willingness
lo do any thing reasonable to avoid such a pen
ance. Well, there's three thing you have to do,
or I'll maul on into a jelly. The first ia, you
are to quit preaching ; the second it, you munt
wear this last will and testament of Thomas
I'aine next to your heart, read il every day,
and believe every word you read, and the third
is, that you are to curse the Methodists in every
crowd you get into ;' ami the blacksmith shuck
ed' himself, rolled up his sleeves, and took a
imid of lohtireo.
The preacher hinked on during these novel
preparations, without a line of his face moving,
nnd at the rod he replied that the terms were
onroiisonuhle, nnd he would not submit lo theiu.
Well, you've got a whaling to submit to.
then, I'll tear you in.o dull-rags corner ways !
Get down you cussed long-faced hypocrite.'
The preacher remonstrated, and Forgeron,
walking up lo the horse, threatened to tear him
oil if he did nut dismount j whereupon the wor
thy man made v irtue of necessity and light
ed. 'I have one request to make, my friend that
ia, you won't beat me with my overcoat on ; it
was a present from Ihe ladies of my laet circuit,
and I do nut wish to have it torn.'
'OH with it, and that suddenly, yot basin
faced wi yon.'
The Methodist preacher slowly drew off his
overcoat, as tin; blacksmith continued hie tirade
of abuse ot hmi ami the yt, and throwing lln
garment behind him, he dealt Mr. Fofgvrmi a
tremenilurms bhw between the eyes, which laid
. .
that person on the groun-d, with the testament
nf'Toiu Peine beside him, Mr. SuibMewnnh,
with the tact of a connoisseur in such matters,
did iit wait for his adversary to rise, Isit inoun
Ivd bim with the quickness of a rat, and bestow
ed his blows with a courteous hand on the t-to-
uiach and (ace of the blacksmith, continuing hia
song where ho had left of! on his arrival
Tongue cannot express the swett eomlort," e-c.
until Forgeren, from Iwvmg experienced 'first
love, or bums other sensation equally new to
him, responded lustily
. 'Enough! enough I enough! take hint off!'
llul uulurtuiiaioly, there waa no one by lo
perform that kind office, except the preacher's
old roan, and he inoi.ched a bunch of grass and
looked on a a if hia master was happy at camp
meeting,
Now,' said Slubbleworlh, there are three
thinga you must promise me before I let yon up.'
'What are they !' asked Porgeron, eagerly.
The first is, that yon will never n.uleala
Methodist preacher again.'
Here Netl'e pride arose, and ho hesitated;
and ihe reverend gentleman, with his usual be
nign smile in bis luce, t cue wed his blows and
sting
'I then rode on the sky, freely justified I,
And the moon it was under my luct."
This oriental language overcame, the block,
smith. Such bold figures, or something tUe,
caused him to sing out, 'Well, I'll do it; I'll
doit!'
'You arc getting en very will, said Mr, Stub
bleworth. 'I think I can make a decent man
of you yet, and perhaps a christian.'
Ned groaned.
'The second thing I require of you is, to go
to Pumpkin creek meeting huuse and hear me
preach to-morrow.'
Ned attempted to stammer out some ex-:iie, i
when the divine resumed his devotional hymn,
and kepi '.imp w ill) the music, striking him over
the face with the fleshy part of his hand. '
I'll do my beat,' said he, in u.i humble
voice. . '
Well, that's a man,' raid Stnbbleworth.
'Now get up and go down to the spring and
wash your face, and tear up Tom Fame's testa
ment, nnd turn your tliouyhts on high.
Ned rose, with feelings hn never experienced
belore, nnd went to nliey the laviatory injunc
tions nt the prencher, when the latter person t
mounted his horse, look Ned by the hand and
said
Now keep your promise, and I'll keep your
counsel. Good evening, Mr. Forgeron ; I'll
look for you to-morrow.'
And off he rode with the same imperturbable
countenance, singing ro loud as lo scare the
eagles from their eyrie ill the overhanging
rocks.
'Well,' thought Ned, 'this is n nice business.
What would people say if they knew Kdward
Forgeron was whipped belore his iwu door,:
and that too by a Mctbulisl preacher!'
Hut his musings were more in sorrow than in
anger. His disfigured vouiileimiice was, of
ciMirse, (he subject of numerous questions that
night, among bis friends ; lo which he replied
with a stern look they well understood, ami Ihe
vague remark that he had n et with an accident
Of course they never dreamed of the cause.
Ned looked in the glass, compared his black eye
from the recent bcutlle, to the rainbow ship
wreck scene blending every color into one."
Or perhaps he never read the story, and mut
tered to himself 'Ned Forgeron whipped by a
Methodist preacher !'.
Frcm that time his whole conduct matiifes-
ted a chani'o of feeluii'. The enssina of the
neighborhood oUervtd it, and whispered u,a, i"g'y nsk.1 of Pope I.eo X. who graciously con
Ned wassile.it, and had gone to meetmg eve,v "" ' P'""'? f "'
Sunday since theaccident. They wondered
greatly at his burning lhe bisiks he uved lo read
so much. Strange stories were circulating a
to the metamorphosis of this jovial dare-devil
blacksmith into a gloomy and tai tilurn man ;
some supposed, vety ing-ly. that a "spirit had
enticed him into the mountains, and, after giving
him a glimpse into the Inline, had misled him
to a rrcg where lie bad la I leu and brutsvd his
face. Otheis gave Ihe prince of darkness the.
credit of the change, lait ihhn mspected th
Metlnxlist preuclier ; and the latter having uu
vanity to gratify, the secret remained w iih Ned.
The gloomy state of mind continued until For
geron visited a camp meeting. Rev. Mr. Siub
bleworth preached a sermon thnt eeeimii to en
ter his soul and relieve it of' a burdiu ; and the
siaig of
"How happy ere they wlw their Saviour obey."
was only halt' through w lieu he felt like a new
man. forgeron was Ironi that time a tiioul ing
Methodist.' At a love li-ast, a bh.jrl time sub-
sequent, he gave his experience, aud revealed
his conviction and conversion to his atlomsln-d
neighbors.

fully kept tho secret until that time, could Hoi

The Huts' Coat"A Sncomt Reformation.
, . Wariii.mi i UN, tiepl. 2'2, lsI5.
To the Editor of the I'ninn :
The 'Holy Coat" is represented to bo the
identical one in which our Saviour was appar
t iled, from early boyhood to the period of his
crucifixion. It was made by Mary.' The ma
teriil was of ao peculiar a quality, that the gar
ment expander! in dimensions aa the wearer ad
vanned in years and increased in stature. "They
parted his garments, easting lots among them
w hut every man should lake ;" and the coat be
came the properly of a soldier, who, placing no
extraordinary value upon it, sold it to one of the
females, (Jut a trifling consideration,) who be
lieved in hia divinity, and witnessed his stiller
nigs on tin: cruse.. ,, it was forthwith placed in
tho mult of a christian family, w here it remain
ed until the Itegiiiuing of the fourth century,
w hen Viistanline sni nt Constntitine Cloris
wn destined by the Almighty t terminate the
bloody persecution oft he Christians. ' Ilia mo
ther, Helena, hal folktwed iiirn lo Orient ; and
in the year Srjli she made a pilgrimage to Pa
lestine, ' and, alter diligent search, found this
preeKHis relic. Sh returned- aVHi afterwards,
anil cirried it in triumph to Treves, the oldest
town in Europe, and the then aeat of the Occi
dental emperors. It was wit long before it mys
teriously disappeared, causing thousands to
wail; and, notwithstanding the most rigid ex
amination and iiMpiiries, no trace could be as
certained by which to lead to ita recovery. One
or the chroniclers of Treves, speaking of the
year llfHi, remarked that "it would be metnora-
ble in all coming time as the era of which the
iiicompnrable treti-ureof the holy coat ot Christ
was rediscovered." It seems to have been de
posited between twosteoples, in an alter dedi
cated to St. Nicholas. The A rchbishop John,
when he was repairing the dome and erectinr
new altars, opened the boxes and chests which
he found in the progress of the work, and from
one of them drew forth the '-holy coat" from ita
tenement of eieht centuries) J On the 1st of the
following May, the fete of llie apostlea Philip
! and James, it was publicly exhibited amid the
I rejoicings and congratulations of the multitude.
In the yrnr 7i'2 the F.mperor Maximilian
the 1st was solicited to favor the world with an
opmrMintty of beholding the "holy coat" in the
cathedral at Treves. Permission was accord-

tribute freely towards rebuilding the olu edifice,
then nearly in ruins rendered doubly dear to
Catlmlic Irom the sacred relic which it contain

to the mieriur of tiermany, where it was kept
hidden until ISKI, when a new Bishop of Treves

that the twist is almost impr-rreptible to the na

characteristic is a yellow brown. ThronglnHit,

most highly gifted and intrepid. Iheologista of

dared to denounce the imposition a one unwot
