I. D. 92110 M2T.PC-3att',lY,T).,'-do Love in the Olden Time. The Lady Eveleyn Seton of Setim Manor, was ynung, beautiful, rich, and an orphan. Ton young to join in the gay revels of a court, she was still immured within her ancient halls, under the watchful cyo of her aunt, the Lady Alice; and though retired from the Pocioty of the' age in which they lived, many were the suitors aspiring to the hand of the fair Eveleyn. One alone ap peered slightly favored—he was the young Sir Hugh do Gasconville, the most finished courtier and accomplished knight under the banners of Richard Cwur de Lion; hut Lady Eveleyn was fickle . —she inherited all the pride of the Sotons, and took more delight in gazing at the grim er ray of her warrior anceston; in the gallery of Family portraits, than in listening to the courtly phrases and laughing tones of Sir Hugh. "I would I could win thy love, fair Lady Eve leyn," stud the knight one dny, as they paced the gallery tognther—(Lady Alice acting propriety in the distance)—"three years have I wooed thee, yet still thou art unrelenting; bid me serve thee, bid me perform a task, any thing to win thee." "Nay," replied Eveleyn, "I impose no tasks— I doubt thee not; and vet—'twere well to try thee methinks—look round thee, Sir Hugh; look at' my soldier ancestors, all of whom were great in arms, and famed for deeds of prowess—think'st thou that the last of the Sotons should wed with a—a—a stripling knight, whose sword has never left its. cabbard, whose brow has never faced a battle—whose arm perchance Might fail before"— "Stop, lady," said Sir Hugh, indignantly, "1 hoar—l understand thee—thou shalt see that Hugh de Gasconville owns no craven heart—l thought not, with those high feelings of thine own, thou wouldost have kept me so long tamely cap five in thy train." "Silence, Sir Hugh," exclaimed Evoloyn, to her turn roused, "thou urt forgetting thyself; we would be alone." She waved her hand—it was enough. The knight bowed low, and springing on has horse, dashed furiously past the windows, and was out of sight. The flower oldie French nobility were enjoy ing the gayest tournament that "la belle France" kw] ever wi'nessed, when an unknown knight entered the lists; and challenged the victor of the day to single combat. 15 was lull, slightly made, well armed and well moulted, and a murmur of astonishment went round as ho bent his plumed head befi.re the roial canopy; but the murmur rose to a prolonged shout of approbation, when the lance of the stranger rang on the breast of his opponent and hurled him to the ground. After assisting the fallen knight to rise, the stranger advanced slowly and gracefully towards the platform from whence the prize was present ed, and receiving on the point of his lance the chaplet and scurf with a low obeisance he turned, and was gone before the vanquished had time to recover his seat or his senses. Who could the stranger knight be, save Sir Ilt.gh de Gascon ville? Mon the drawbridge of Soton Manor was lowered for Sir Hugh. and tho stately (nerds burst on his sight, a thrill of fearful expectation curled through his veins. Tho pink and silver Benda Franco floated on his shoulder, and tha chaplet of pale roses, now a Mimed, hung on his arm as ho reined in his charger at the gate, and dismounting, paced through tho vestibule, which opened into the withdrawing Morns. Ho heard Lady Evelopes voice, and the knight paused.— Three weeks bad passed since ho bad left !hose rooms in anger, and remembering his parting scene, he dreaded the reception be might meet. Suddenly he entered, and on his bonded knee, laid the trophies at Ludy Evoley Ws feet. ••So, Sir Hugh!" exclaimed the beauty, with Pitly,Wy: but I unhorsed a bold crusader." Lady Eveleyn curled her lip. "Methinks, Sir :Hugh, that were mere sport, since not one drop ofthy brave blood was spilt!" Sir Hugh started. The lady contintiod—"Mo. thinks, likewise, that a faded chaplet and a worn ,scarf were unsightly gifts for thy ladye love! No no, sir knight; when Eveleyn Soton weds, it must be with one worthy of her hand:—when Seton Manor owns a master, it must be ono who will not disgrace its ancient halls!" "Eveleyn!" exclaimed the knight, grasping his sword, "I know thee not in this strange mood—. it is enough—when I sin gone, think on thy words, no longer shall Hugh do Gasconvillo dis grace thine ancient halls! I have loved thee Eve leyn, but for thyself aluno!— I have wooed thee, but not for thy gold." "Nay, Hugh--dear thigh—thou ar t too serious —1 but mount—" "It matters not now, lady—thy words are traced in fire on my heart; not because thy loved lips pronounced them, but because others hoard thee scorn me; the day may come when I may be worthy of thee—till then, Eveleyn, farewell!" Nay—stop—ono word!" cried Eveleyn; hitt she was too late, ere the tears could burst from bra eyes, Sir Hugh do Casconvllle and his good charger were skirting the distant hills—ere ano. tiler moment could fly, he was lost to her sig lit— and, sinkin7 4.n her seat, the lady Eveleyn Seton exclaimed„in the bitterness ofropentance, "Ho is gone, and I have lost the truest heart that ever knight proffered to lady() love!" - The Christian oriny, under Cour do Lion, set out for the Holy Land, and amongst their glitter ing numbers appeared Sir Hugh do Gasconville. —lt were vain to repeat the trials and hardships they endured ; it is enough, that after years of toil,the few who escaped with their lives,roturnod to their native land,and ofthern was reckoned Sir Hugh; but lie was changed. The tall,proud youth was covered with wounds, worn, subdued, ill,and melancholy—yet his first thought was of Eveleyn Seton. Ho faltered to asking after her whom ho loved: but a wild sensation of mingled pleasure and pain awoke in his breast on finding that she was still alive, well, and Eveleyn Solon. His determination was taken—ho would see her once more—and just as the summer's sun sot behind the Yorkshire hills, Sir Hugh do Gaseon• vale rang the great bell of Seto') Manor. lie fount; Evoloyn surrounded by her attend. ants. "Thou art a soldier and a crusader," said she, bending, "thou art welcome to our castle; but who art thou?" "Lady," began Sir Hugh. "Ah!" shrieked Evelnyn, "I know thee! Hugh! dear Hugh, welcome, welcome home!" "It is I indeed, lady, but sadly, sorely, chang ed, I cannot kneel to thee now—l may not offer thee the strength of this arm, for it Is helpless— I cannot stand before thee without the stay of my good lance, yet would I see thee once again. May I speak with thee alone?" Evelnyn waved back the attendants. "Eveloyn," said the knight, as he lifted his plumed helmet off, "thou soost me!" "I hear then, Hugh—it is enough!" "Nay, raise thine oyes, thou seest but the wreck of Hugh de Gasconville—and conscious that. though this hand hus been soaked in the blood of the enemy, and though lances have been broken and sabres bent on this. body, I am still unworthy of thee. I come Feint, wounded, and disabled, to bid thee a long, a . last/flirewell!" . "Then then lovest me no longer, Hugh!" cried Eveleyn. • "Better thandl),,"_ replied the knight, "yet thinkest thou I grii ono to win woman's love?" "Yes," exclaimed Evoleyn, throwing her arm round the lance On which he leant, "say no more. I am still thine in heart. Though thou art wound ed, 'twos in a noble cattail - 4 'r' Thou hest fought long and bravely! Thougii disabled, thou art not dishonored! In future this arm shall be thy stay, and, if thou wilt. Hugh, mine own Hugh, this liarid shall be thy well-won prize!" "Won--won!" murmured the now exhausted Sir Hugh, "and lost—lost, as soon as won." .Anti-Slavery. The Relation of the Pulpit to Slavery. LETTER TO A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL: To the Rev. REV. AND DEAR BROTIIER,-1 rejoice heat-you say, that in my views and feelings 'on the system of American Slavery, you a gree with me. In your mind, it is clear and certain, that it is a system of rebellion against God—involving fraud, adultery, and murder, the violation of every tie which binds man to man, and earth to Heaven.— This system, you declare, ought immediate ly to be broken to pieces, and scattered on the winds. But with these declarations on your lips, you censure me for exposing in the pulpit its various deadly tendencies, and for urging on the hearts of all who heard me, the claims of the enslaved upon their sympathy and assistance. You tried to give point and effect to your censure by repeat. ing in my ears the declarations of the Apes. tle Paul: "I deist-mined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and Him Crucified." Yoe exhorted me as a preach er of the gospel, to imitate the Apostle to the Gentiles, and give tnyselfup exclusively to the salvation of souls. I du not feel myself at liberty to disregard eit' er your censure or exhortation. With you, I bow reverently and gratefully to the authority of the Bible. If, in the matter be. fore us, you are sustained by that authority, it is mine promptly, cheerfully, and fully to obey you,as the messenger of Heaven. But I tun greatly a stranger to your character, if you can blame me for examining the basis of your appeal, before I yield to its intended influence. Nay, I feel assured that you will join with me in endeavoring clearly and certainly to ascertain tho meaning of tho Apostolic declaration, which you wish me to heed. You understand the Apostle to confine his -SHAS3 attention, as a christian teacher, to a very small circle of topics; comprehending only the more commanding doctrines of the gos pel. Among these, you suppose that the divinity of Christ, and the atonement by His blood, claimed a place peculiarly promi nent. From these he never allowed him self so widely to depart; as to introduce to the church subjects so far removed from the vitals of Christianity,as the evilsof servitude and the claims of the slave. You blame me for not imitating the example °laic Apostle, and. excluding from the lessons of instruc tion I may give,the doctrinesofabolitionisin. But after making the declaration, which you quote, did the Apostle exclude such topics from his disceurse? In answering this titles non, so manifestly fair nnd appropriate, you will eagerly embrace such conclusions as the Epistle itself, which contains the declaration it, question, forces on our conviction. Read the Epistle,my brother, and see over what a large field the Apostle allows himself to ex patiate! What a variety of objects catch his attention, and employ his powers! In one place lie forces on your loathing eye the in cest of a member of the Corinthian church, and the shameful neglect of his brethren to subject him to christian discipline; in another he points out to you the limits within which you may have intercourse with flagrant sin• tiers. Here lie exposes and condemns the conduct of such christians as had law suits before the heathen courts: and there he en ters freely upon the discussion of the subject of marriage. W ith one breath he disposes of the difficultieg which might embarrass his christian brethren, when invited to partake of food which had been "offered in sacrifice to idols;" and the nestle employs in assert ing the claims of the christian teacher to a competent support; and the third, in enforc• ing upon females the importance of their appearing veiled in religious assemblies.— Nor does hr overlook the condition and the duties of those who were under the bonds of servitude. He points them to the basis of freedom, to which the gospel had raised them. But I need not swell the list of to pics,to winch in one connection and another he directed. the attention of his readers. It is very certaig, that by the declaration to which you refer, the Apostle did not intend to exclude from his discourses such things as you blame ire for discussing. What,then, did he mean? A four question, which is on titled to an appropriate answer. Permit me, my brother, to remind you, that when the Epistles to the Corinthian church were written, "excellency of speech and 'of wisdom" were generally thought to consist . in the subtleties of n hair-splitting philosophy, and in artificial rhetoric. Such acquisitions, in a city like Corinth,remarka ble for its wealth and luxury,would natural. ly be held in high estimation. What mul tiplied hints have we in the epistles. with which we are now more especially concern ed, that Air the Corinthian church such glit tering baubles had strong attractions! A poi los, educated as he had been at Alexandria, seems as the head of a party, to have been preferred to Paul, on account of the charfils of his rhetoric. With these thoughts in your mind, mark what the Apostle disclaim ed, in opposition to the course he pursued, as described in the declaration which we are now to dispose of. "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excel lency of speech or of wisdom, declaring un to you the testimony of God." What did he then? "For I determined to know noth ing among you, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Whatever distinguished the Gospel from systems of human philosophy and . heathenish superstition, the Apostle here. presents under the description ofJesus CtiriSt and Him crucified. In the first place, then, / underslarid him to affirm, that in whatever he did, he acted in aub, , crviency to the progress of the Gospel. He had not aimed at Corinth to distinguish himself as a philosopher or rhetorician. He had not ex erted himself to accumulate gold or bright en his reputation. Secular designs lie had none to promote. A higher object engross ed his powers. To build up the church of Christ, and thus subserve the best interests of his fellow men, was the sole end of his 'solicitude and toil. To nothing, which had a bearing, near or remote; adverse or friend ly, on such an end, could he be indifferent. Even the veil for a woman's face became here a matter of deep interest—too impor tant to be overlooked in a pastoral letter. 1 understand the Apostle to affirm, in the second place, that he was anxious to pre sent, and Illustrate, and enforce every les son of instruction he might give; in the light of the peculiaraies of the Gospel. On what ever subject ho might dwell, he (lid not choose to speak as an economist, or politi cian, or philosopher. A higher character he sustained. The various relations of those with whom he .had to do, he conteni. plated in a mar© solemn light. To his eye the truths of the Gospel shed their lustre on every thing. And what his eve saw, his tongue and pen could not but choose to de scribe. VVlintever he might exhibit,he was "determined" to hold up in the light which shone from the face of the crucified Saviour Was he constrained to expose the guilt of the church, in allowing .a gross fornicator to keep his place at the communion table? Who, taking his position at the foot of the cross, could adequately estimate that guilt? What motives to"purge out the old leaven" pressed upon their inmost spirits, when they remembered that "Christ their passover was sacrificed for them!" Would the Apostle dissuade his brethren from•such intercourse with idoliiters, as might be the occasion of apostacy to weaker members of the church? IVith what resistless force must his tender appeal have reached their hearts, when he admonished them,that through their "knowt• edge the weak brother" might perish, "for whom Christ died!" Would he persuade [VOL. 7--NO. 24. "servants" to maintain their allegiance to their Saviour, whatever opposition they might meet with from their masters? How appropriate and powerful is the argument he urges,--" Ye are bought with a price; BE NOT YE THE S•]RVANTS OF MEN." Thus, whatever tru!li he might be calldd to pre sent, he was determined to present it as a christian minister,beinking himself to Jesus Christ and Him crucitied for arguments and illustrations. Will you say, my brother, that I have lost sictht of the example oft he Apostle,eith er in introducing or dispos;ng of the subject of slavery in my religious discourses? .You cannot say so. Have I dwelt upon it as an economist, or politician, or philosopher?-- Have I sought applause as a rhetoricianT- Have I courted popularity for money or a name? No. Had I been guilty, in any of these respects, I should have escaped the odium and reproach which,-with no. very sparing hand, have been measured out for me. No; it was because on the subject of slavery "I determined not to know any thing save Jesus Christ and Him crucified," that I have been reviled and slandered. I have presented the slave as a brotherthe child of our common Father; redeemed by .our Saviour, and entitled to all the benefits suit ed to such high relations. This is The "head and front of my offending." What if I were to gather a congregation of.south ern slaves around me, and expound and en force for their benefit the direction of Paul, "Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men!" should I not preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified? [CONCLUSION IN 01/12 NEXT.] VARIETY. MR.4.l. 7 troun,s. Our hours of meals are wonderfully changed in little runic than two centuries. In the reign of Francis the First (about 151.5,) they used still to stay-- To rise at five, end dine at nine, To sup ut five, and bed at nine, Will make a man live to ninety-nine The custom of dining at nine in the morn. ing soon relaxed.

They sounded the curfew, which warned them to put out their fires at six in the winter, and betwcon eight and nine in thei summer. In England a similar change took place. But in some degree it is a change rather of name, than of the meals themselves. Our ancestors would have culled our luncheon dinner, and our dinner they would haVe called supper. It is a curious fact, that in some of the colleges in Oxford, were allow ances are made by the founders for the meals of theirscholars, a much more liberal sum is given for their supper, than for their dinner, implying that the supper was the more substantial meal.

Loox TO THE END.--Consider well the end in every thing you do—the endl—not the immediate results--the momentary gratification—the apparent gain or advan tage for the time—but the end of all your course of conduct. Look on into the future until you clearly see it—and not imagine the consequences are to terminate in an hour, a day, a week,.a month, a year, or even an age. The end—the end is far beyond, in eternity. Few, indeed, are the faults or the follies of men which meet with no retri- bution here—suffering comes with every vice, as its inseparable companion. But the end, I repeat, is not now—and it is the end I pray you consider. ARISTOCRACY REPROVED.-"Ought we not to be ,ennobled for the. virtues . of our fathers"!" asked a defonder of aristocracy.
