trmLATRY. The KouiUh Bishop of
Philadelphia, In a long admonition to the
churches of Lis diocese on the subject of
the new dogma which to believe is made
necessary to salvation, (viz. that the Vir
gin Mary was lorn without the taint of
ordinary human depravity ,) says she is
now to be "more than honored on earth."
That is, in plain English.she is to be iror-
DEDICATION'. A magnificent new Pres

Mrs. Snrnwoon. This admirable au
thoress, was sometime ago triumphantly
claimed by the Universalists, as one of
their faith. The Puritan hecorder has
recently published an authentic contradic
tion. V'c do not think doctrines arc any
the more to be received, because held by
the great; but we thiuk it due to this em
inent lady that she should not be made to
bold what she rejects. The Recorder thus
refers to tho report and its authentic con
tradiction :
TI. l..:.i;sts in this country had
prcst rejoicings over such a couvert. And
in order to testify their joy, they made up
a box of books, containing the leading
Universalis! publieations.elrgantly bound,

I fain would have, if I might choose,
A mansion, such as fanners use,
Ot' sound old stone, with hanging eves.
Anil casements clambered o'er with leaves
Fair t ut nl fine, of ancient guise;
The shadowing elms around shoyd rise;
Full barns, clean stables nor forgot
Clear springs and dairy, cool as grul.
About the pile in thought, I view
A spreading lawn of fre-liest hue;
And stretching back, in stately mien,
A garden, with its alleys green.
Where every herb and cvtry fruit,
That may a healthful palate suit.
Shall grow in cone. ml with each flower
That may beseem a Jersey bower.
Then let a rippling brook flow by
On whose green margin there may lie
Al intervals, a well-hewn seat,
Fr pause, amid the noontide heat ;
And lure and there a g.unl may seem.
Broad willows weeping o'er the stream,
Or Iocjs'.s, where in balmy June
The bees may hum their sleeping tune
Such be the centre of1 my reisn,
Whence to smvey my fair domain j
But reaching far on cvrry si:!e
iMeaduw and field in circuit wide,
And sumebre groves, and thicket grey,
Where I may fly at height of day.
O'er the enamelled sward, lit siray
The herd and flock, al food or play j
While thrift, and temperance, and care,
Shall turn the clod and drive the share,
And sow and reap the golden store,
Till winter close the massive door.
Then, when long nighu begin to bring
Around the fire, ihe cheerful ring,
The crackling billets, flaming high,
Shall send a gleam to every eve
Of happy inmates round the hearth.
Full of warm cheer and healthful mirth.
Here let the hoary grandsire bast,
And grandaine hug her wintry task.
And hardy urchin plan his snare,
And chubby girl her doll prepare,
And John, with schoolboy tone, rehearse
The newest tale, in prose or verse.

night-fall, aud here I met with an adven- j
lure which has been a lesson to me thro' ,
the whole of my subsequent life. j
This hostelrie in the wilderness was j
ktpt 1J a savage looking fellow of uncom-!
non sue, wun an appearauce oi grcai
muscular power. He was surrounded by i
three or four stout young men, who seem
ed to be bis Sons,nnd there was something
sinister and banditti-like in the appear- ;
ance of the whole party. I observed that '
they regarded with covetous eyes my j
Watch and other trifling ornaments which .
I wore, and that they conversed apart, is j
if plotting mischief. I bad often read
I terrible accounts of robberies and murders
j perpetrated at taverns situated in wild aud
dosolato regions ; and being of a some- j
uat nervous temperament, I began to
"usc on the probability of being victim- j
el by the unprepossessing host and his j
tence, or underneath the polluted sou oi a
barn-yard ; and there is something par
ticularly horrifying in the idea of being
put to death and entombed in such an ob
scure and inelegant fashion.
Though the male portion of my land
lord's family presented the very repulsive
appearance I bare spoken of, bis two
daughters, (as I took them to be,) would,
in more favorable circumstances, have

superior to their masculine relatives, and
while the old man and bis sons eyed me
at a distauce with what seemed to be low
ering and menacing aspects, the young
women, though they said but little,
and appeared to be tinder some kind of
restraint, gae me encouraging looks, and
prepared me an excellent supper, to which
I did justice, in spite of that sense of in
security which I could not wholly repress

I endeavored to get up a conversation
with my host, but bis surly, taciturn hu
mor was invincible, and after some hours
passed in gloomy siIencc,ote Of the young
men proposed to show me to tnj room.
He conducted Die to a small apartment on
the second floor,wbich contained two bedsj
which were B3 neatly together that a chair
could scarcely be placed between them.
The young man placed the candle on the
floor, aud without condescending to bid
me good night, left the chamber. 1 ob
served that the door Lad no fastening, ex
cept a sort of wooden bolt of a truly rustic
pattern, which was a very insecure fasten
ing, a9 it might be moved by a person
on the outside, vitU the greatest case, by
merely poking a finger through the wide
crack which existed between tho door and
the jijnb.
I had among my traveling equipments,
a pair of good pistols, loaded and capped,
which I placed under my pillow ) and,
though I betook myself to my couch, I
resolved to keep watch, lest my suspicious
entertainers should be disposed to treat
me as Macbeth did King Duncan. But'
such was the effect of my fatigue and ex
posure through the day, that I fell asleep
almost as soon as I touched the bed. An
hour may Lave elapsed when I was awa
kened by a noise at my chamber door I
listened, and heard several whispering
voices, and could distinguish such phrases
as, "He has fastened the door." "Do you
think he is asleep' "Don t make a
noise," ic. I cautiously grasped a pistol
in each hand, cocked the weapons, and
raised myself sufficiently to bring my bat
tery to bear on the enemy. I heard them
moviug the bolt evidently with caution, as
if they wished to make as little noise as
possible. The door was opened J and, by
the faint light of a candle which shone
from the outer apartment, I saw several'
persons enter my room. I thudder even
now to think of what might have happen
ed, if the old man or one of the sons bad
presented himself first ; but, fortunately,

after unfastening tbe ioor, remained out

The Charleston papers of Feb. 15,1855,
anuounce the death of Col. FttANCls KlJt
locii Huger, in the eighty-second year of
his age. Col. Huger was the son of Col.
Benjamin linger, of the Revolution, who
was killed before the lines of Charleston,
and was the pupil of the celebrated Dr.
John Hunter, and fellow student of Dr.
physick of Philadelphia. When a young
man, and fully inspired with the ardor of
American republicanism, he joined Dr.
Eric Bollman of Philadelphia, in bis at
tempt to liberate Lafayette from the dun
geons of Olmuts ; art enterprise which led
to the long incarceration of the young pat-
riots.
The first landing of the Marquis
De Lafayette on American soil was on the
plantation of the lather ot Out. I . UP- j

was, therefore, a noble recognition of Lc
rcditary and paternal hospitality. On bis
liberation and return to his native land,he
was appointed a Captain in the U. S.
Army of 17PS. He resigned and retired
soon afterwards ; but on tbe breaking out
of the war of 1812, was recalled again
from bis beloved retirement and appointed
to office, and soon received the command
of a regiment of artillery attached to tbe
Southern Division. Col. Huger served bis
native State in both branches of the Legis
lature, and was always ready to serra her
in any capacity, civil or military.

Re-Unlon of a Sundered Family.
Forty-eight years ago, two little colored
boys, named Peter aud Levin Still, were
playing in the highway near their father's
house, on the Delaware river, in New Jer
sey, not fur from Philadelphia, when a
stranger passing by in a gig asked them to
take a ride. The boys did to, and were
thus kidnapped and carried to Lexington,
Ky., where they were sold to one John
Fisher. They were ultimately sold to
other masters, aud after thirteen years of
slavery in Kentucky, to John Hogan, of
Franklin, South Alabama. At the age of
twenty-four Levin died, but Peter conti
nued a slave for thirty-one years. During
this period be married a female belonging
to one Barnard M'Kinon, a neighbor of
his master, and bad three children, two
sons and a daughter. Dy years of extreme

Abolitionist. Tbe Cinciuati Lvlumlian,
after narrating the above facts, says that
the interview was deeply affecting. One
of the sons is twenty-seven, and the other
is twenty-four years of age. One of thed
had a wife in Alabama, who died, leaving
a babe only a few months old. When
coming away, the father begged hard for
this little one, but it was worth $200. He
bad nothing, and came without it.
The sons informed the editor of the Co-
jumi;tm ,uat aftcr they were taken from
Dack t0 tncir master, they used to
be sent for to make private revelations to
slaves who resided as far as twenty
miles distant, and who wished to know
something of the routeXorth and tbe people
of tbe free States.
