deed, afier assuming this character. such an event occurred, though without, at that time, producing any propitious result. A clergyman of respectable appearance had taken lodgings in LymingtOn, for the pur- pose of autumnal bathing, and amusing himself with a little partridge shooting.- The hospitable Mr. Hackman, ever at- tracted towards brother sportsman by ] sort of magnetic influence, called upon the stranger; shot with him, and invited him to his house. The invitations were re- peated, accepted, as often as the shooting days recurred nor had many taken place ere their natural effect on young unmar- ried clerk was produced. He became deeply enamoured of Miss Bere, and ot- fered her his hand. She, for aught l know, might have been nothing 10th to change the condition of a recluse, tor the more active character Of clergyman's wife but, as the gentleman had no pos session save his living, and as MT H. could

 not, out of life-cstate, supply Miss bere

 with fortune, judged prudent under those

 pecuniary disabilities, that she should de- cline the honor of the alliance. A year elapsed without the parties having met, and it was generally imagined that Lethe

 had kindly administered an oblivious por-

 tion to both; aud, with the aid ot absence,

 had obliterated from their minds the re- membrance of each other. But such was not the case. At the ensuing partridge season, the gentleman returned by Ly- l mington; and, with the title of very rev. erend' prefixed to his name (for he had ob- tained a deanery in the interval,) once more repeated his solicitations and his ot- fers. These (as there was now no obsta- cle to the marriage) were accepted. The amiable pair were united {; and lived for many years sincerely attached to each oth- er-respected, esteemed, and beloved by all around them. The death of the hus- band dissolved at length, the happy con- nexion. His lady survived her loss for some time and few years ago the little warbing pauper, Nancy Bere, of Lyming- ton work-house, quilted this temporal be- ing, the universally lamenled widow of the Right Rev.

 To arm ourselves against in6dels, we 1 must unite all those in affection who are

 united in the belief of the great principles of the Godhead that made and suslains the

 world. They who hold revelation, give

 double assurance to their country. Even

 the man who does not hold revelation, yet

 who wishes that it was proved to him,

 who observes pious silence with regard 1 to it, such man, though not christian, is governed by religious principles. Let him be tolerated in this country. Let it be but serious religion, natural or reveal ed, take what you can get; cherish. blow up the slightest spark. One day it may

 be pure and holy flame. By this pro-

 ceeding you form an alliance, offensive and defensive, against those great ministers of darkness in the world, who are endeavor- ing to shake all the works of God estab- lished in order and beauty.-Burke.
