It was Sunday as I passed through the county of Orange, that my eye was caught by a cluster of horses tied near a ruinous old wooden house, in the forest, not far from the road side.: ,Idving frequently seen such objects before through these states, I had no difficulty in understanding that this . was a 'place )(religious worship. Devotion alone should have stopped me, ,to join in the duties of the congregation; but I must confess, that curiosity, to hear what the preacher of such a wilderness could say, was not tbeleast of my motives. . On entering, I was struck with his pre , teraatural appearance. He was a tall and spare old man; his head, which was covered . with a white linen cap, hiSshrivelied hands, and his voice were all shaking under the influence of a palsy, and ina.few tnoments4, ascertained that he was blind. The first emotions which touched the breast were those of mingled pity and ven eration. But oh I sacred God I how soon were my feelings-changed-!- the lipS' of Plato were never More worthy of a prognostick swarm of bees, than were the lips of this holy maul It was the day of the sacrament; and his subject, of course % the passion of our Savour. I had heard the subject handled a thousand times: 1 had thought it exhausted long - ago. , ~ . , .

I know the whole history . , but never until then had 1 heard the circumstances so se lected, so arranged, so colored! it was all new and seemed to have heard it tbr the first tinie in my life. His voice trembled on every syllabi.:, and every heart in sAnbly trembled in unison. His peculiar phrase had that force of description, that the original scene appeared to be at tlia!, mo ment acting before our eyes. We saw the faces of the Jews; the staring frightful dis itaions of their malice and ruse. We saw the butlet;. my soul kindled with - e. flame of indigna 'on, and my .hands involuntary "clench 1. • But 'When he come to touch on thapt., tience,"thb agiving meekness of our Ba. your, which he drew to the life, his bleWied eyes were streaming to heaven; his Viee breathing to God, and soft and gentle Tager of pardon ou his enemies,' "Father forgive them, -tbr they know not what they the voice of the preacher, which had all a- long fettered, grew fainter and fainter, until his.utterance being entirely obstructed by the force of feelings, he raised iris handker ehlef to his'eyes, and burst into. a loud and irrepressible flood of grief.

Indeed, judging by the' usual but fallacious standard of my own weaknesa, I began to be very uneasy for the situation-of the preach er. For I could not conceive hbw he would be able to lelhis audience down from tbe to which he had wound them, with Out impairing tbasolcranityand.dignity of the subject; or perhaps shucking them with the abruptness of the fall. But—rno; the descent was as beautiful and sublime as the elevation had been rapid and enthusias tick. The first sentence with which ho -broke the awful silence was a. quotation from Ros satin. Socrates died like a philosopher, but Jesus Christ like a God! I despair of giving you any idea of the effect produced by this short sentence, un less you could perfectly conceive the whole manner of the man, as well as the peculiar crisis in the discourse. Never before did I understand what Demosthenes meant by lay; ing such a stress on delivery. You are to ering before you the venerable figure of the preacher, his blindness, con stantly recalling to your recollection old' Homer, Ossian and Milton, associating with his performance, the melancholy grandeur oftheir genius: you are to imagine that you -hear----his---slow i solemn, -well-accented enun -ciation,- - and his voice of allticting melody; _you are to remember the Pitcliof the passion awl enthusiasm to which the congregation Were raised, and then the few minutes of portentioue, death-like silence which reigned through the house: the preacher removing his handkerchief from his aged face, (even wet froth the recent torrent of tears,) slowly stretching forth his palsied hand which holds it, begins' the sentence- "Socrates died like a philosopher"—then pausing, raised the other hand pressing theM both together with warmth and energy to his breast, lifting his "sigh t less balls" and pouring his whole soul in his, tumultous voice—"but Jesus Christ—like alliod ho had indeed and in truth been an angel of light the effect could scarcely have been more divine: Whatever I had been able to conceive of the- sublimity - of Manion, or the force of Bourdaloue, it had fallen far short of the power which I felt at the delivery_ of this simple sentence. The blood which had just belbrr, rushed in a hurricane to my brain, and in the violence and agony ofmifeelings, had held my whole system in suspense, now ran back into my heart, with a kind - of sen sation which I cannot describe; a kind of shuddering delicious horror ! - The paroxysm of the blended pity and in dignation, to which I had been transported, subsided into the deepest self abasement, hu mility and adoration. I had just been lace rated and dissolved by sympathy, for our Saviour as a fellow creature; but now, with fear and tromblincr, I adore him as—Jp. God !' VARIOUS MATTERS. _ _ _Mx srmn_R__To_ENoLAND.7_-_—_Weleam_fr I as various quarters, that the determination to reject Mr. Van Buren's nomination as Min ister to England, is becoming stronger and stronger. There are ample grounds for tak ing this measure, which justice alike to the individual, and thc.country require. There are an abundance of reasons _for the_ mea- , sure: Ist.

It it be' said thnt r thc the ory of our government supposes that the in- structions to our foreign ministers proceed from the President, then, as, a patriotic A merican, he should have re - sigued office, ra ther than disgraced his country by signing such instructions. So, also,Mr. Anane should have resigned, rather than have act ed under such degrading injunctions. 4th.
