A statemnt was mayde loual fromat the pulpit, that the utiles of tle meetina required that all should be seated durintg tle hours of puIlic worship, and tl.e hipe was expreised, tIhat with this aegbItion :l would chellty comply; but11 the cluzter :rotuntd the tree renainted umnial)aved, atnd tie hIm if their conversations seemed rather to a ise thanata ll. It was aitite a disturbalace, and had all appearanee of being tile resilt of a preconcerted plan to give trouble. .Mr. G::aa1er wished, if possibale, to fet thema) ;eated and sileneed without tihe neces !ity of public rebutke. Rzev. mIr. Stafori, of North Carol'ma, was r((egnested to make an address of about ten minttaes' lenigth ; for the people were still collecting, and the houir for the serion hatd not vet ctaae. al r. Stafford's ad~dress wais atppropiilate tatnd pow)erful. HTe c.ont g: tg~ationi was initerestedh, but not a man it rte circle arotund the tree motaved or sat downva, and thec vexatious humt evidently in creasevd. Mr. Cressey, af Satlem, Ta., was then~t re ietad to nmk le a short add ress.

A haymn was sung t at thte c!itse of .M r. Cressey's exhtorta. tioti, tttaand d ing the hymnai, Mr. Galbmter left the pulpiit, anid torok a seat in the crowd, hanlf uy from~ t tihe pit to the circle :aaoutd thue taee. At the chaose of the haymna, he tartose tand( said, " J hiave ltong endeavored tot avotid givintg a pl~~ic rehnike foar the iim paroper caondutct ofa ana indl!iidual at a icett of publhie woarship.

TIhaey thaough~t it likely that the inadividlual ailluded to, as soon tas he should be namted would repaly, andt~ try to rtaise a party inm his own defenace, and that nmost likely a rowv would ensue. T1hey seemied to catchi theia breath in a tharilliatg anaxiety of thle motaent. Mr. G. proceeded: "The indlividual to -whonm I allude is a liar-a most notorious liar, tanda I aam table to prv it on him hay testimony thtat none of you will dispute; further, lie is a thief!" " O0! 0! O l'' said low voices in the crowd. "Yes, hie is a thief: and more than~ afl this-he is a murderer!" 0 , thaat is too bad !" said low voicos irn |the crowd. No, it's not too bad. I tell you It is a 111rderer fiom tihe beginning. The proof to which I refer you is contained in the New Trestament, and the name of this disorderly and troublesome individual is the Devil." Rarely has the name of the Devil brought relief' to so many anxious minds as on this occaUsion. The dfeep), 10ong1 respira.tion, de1 noting that tile burden was goine, could be distinctlv heard from the pulpit, and from I Iy in the crowd. Ailr. G. theni in a few words, told them thma the Scriptres warned them to beware of their adversary, the devil-that lie is exceediigky malignait ; the great foe of God a d man; that he is very powerful, having no less than the tremendous energies ot "achmi.angel rinzed"-that lie goeth about as a rouminug lion seeking whom lhe m:iy d your. 'I huos this address was speedily vo)tnid up; :111d then thivy had a sermorI from another minister; to a very silent and attlitive colnretgation, all seated in the ,mo~s orderly manner. The Rev. Dr. M'clinney, of Southern 3s. -oinri, afici wards t old M ir. Gallaner, iat h - was one of the young men who gathered aroumi the sugar tree. lie said that lhey had come down from Oxford, with high notions of their consentience and indepen. deuce, and thought they were entitled to do very inieh as they Ieased. They had beeni somewhat stiff, stu bborn, and unruly through the dcy, though no public notice had been taken of them. lie, Dr. Al., asp;red to be a leader among them, and they had formed a mutual league, that thev would stand to. gether. When M . Galla e - comimenced speaking of. the individual that had come there for nt good, but with the purpose of bing troublesome, Dr. Il. began to suspect that the reference was to iim. The fuirih.'r tie description advamnced, the more it ap. peared to fit him. He became a.;itated and alarn.ed; and when Air. G. said lie would tell the name of the offender, Dr. 31. fully calculated that his own ime would preset Iv be called out blefore the whole assembly. When. Mr. G. requested the comp:any to be seated, Dr. 51. was down in a itmoment ; and neari- was lie more relieved than when told that the offender was the devil ; and that nothing more was re.juired of him than, to I4&tn his seat, and keep quiet, and listen to a munst neCessawiV be preceded by a wild aid vicious career. A good writer well remarks, that there is many a yonng man jist enter. ing the world, who would avoi. thos2 ac tiois which give rise to the saying, if it were mott for tle veil which this very saying throws over their Lideousiess. But as lie hears the lips of beauty Ipolog!tiCally muttering, " he is onv sowinig his wild oats," when some instance of vile proflig:cy is told, or some tale of innocence undermitined, related, he begins to look upon such actions as the na. tural and excusable eflects of ardent youth lie thinks that he, too, may be pardoned for scattering si:milar seeds otn the highway of he ; aed is, perhaps, unconscious that tie soil inl which they will take the firmest and deepest root is his own miind. " Nemo r pente fruit turpissimus"-no man becomes viciouts on a suddetn. Th'le appetite for vice incereases with wvhat it feeds on ; like the taste for olives, it may be nauseous at first, hut hy relietitioni we comec to like it, and at length it becomes a fixed desire of the mind; we haive sown the seeds, and, un fortunately, we tim~St reapi the fruits. We need niot sow these wild oats, hut on3ce having so~ done, we nmust take the coniseqc esi~LC. Ani old French writer hais saidi, that " dis gust stands at the door of acll had places." It may be so ; but it is to be feared that we too ofteni piut her behinid thei door as we en ter; and it is only whlen we conie out we imeet her fncec to face. We cover up her form with all kinuds of disguises ; we endeav or to cheat ourselves into the belief that dis gust is not her realI name,:mmd that it is not the door of vice at whieb .she stands senti nel ; and as we pass her byv, and enter, we co'nsole ourselves with the thought that we are only haiving a bit of a spree ! that we are in for a lark ! or at any rate, that we " must sow some of our wild oats." We are con fident in ourselves, have great reliiance on our own correct principles aind right inten tions, and dleludce ourselves into the belief that we are only gaining a little knowvledge of the wvorld, and showing ourselves to be youths of spirit. And ai most miserable de lusion this is-fostered aiid encouraged by the wretched Ihllacy we are illustrating ; and by the pernicious habit of glossing over vile thlings with eulogistic names. We begin, perhaps. by sowing our seeds with a carefulI hand, scaittering a fewm here, and a few there, with long intervals between themri; we are not alarmed by any very great expenditure of seed ; we hardly fancy that the correct principles on which we rely, are distur-bed or shocked by their slight deviations fromt the strict rule of. right ; we stIll keep in the common routine of our ditties, while w~e are imnperceptib~ly being led itito temptations that, by degrees, cause us to scatter the seeds more thickly, and with fe wer in tervalr between them. And we go ott " sowing the wild oats" unitil the days of our youth are past, and when a miserable and1( premature 01(1 age draws on, we linid that the tillage is not vet comflplete; it is only~ whetn infirmi'.ies have rendered it impossible to pursue our former couirse, that the seed time is over; and~ the harvest comes upon us at once in the shape of painis and pienaltie; grievous to hear. We forsake now the sowinig until the pow~er to sowv is departed-we forsake not the siii uiitil the sin forsakes us. hlowv ofteni do we hear it said, hothi by pa. rents and frienids, that it is right for a young man to knowv the wvorld, aind that he wilt avoid vice all the mnore for having tasted it, and found what it is like. Bad judges of hiuman nature and of human appetites, are these! And let suc nrents be ware lest the future growth from ir maxim climo home to them to tornent m.-N. Y. Organ. FRANKLI TIE BARBER. On Doctor Franka 's arrival at Paris, as Pirniprteiiary ro' lie United States, lu ring tie Revolut6o .the king expressed a wish to see him ini.' iately. As there was no gain , to the C it of France i:i those dais, without permi o or the wig-maker, a wig.naaker of 'cou was sent folr. In an i Istant a rilo dreszed Monsieur, his arms folded in a p' i*ius mnuff of furs, and a long sword b- is side, made his ap. pearance. It v'as t king's wigmaker, with his servant in a ive a long sword by lak side too, and &Tiider sweet sented b:md boxes, full of " de w" as he said, "de su perh wig; for de gre Doeteer lranklin." One oif tho wsigs tried ona-a wo lI too small ! H3and-lp74 'ter hand-box uas tried ; but all with jiame ill-snccss.

Franklin. smiling; eplied that the fault could hardly lie tlaer ; for that his head was niade by God Ani himself, who was not subject to err Upon this the wi ker took in a little; but still contended t there must must be so'nething the matte ith Doctor Franklin's head. It was a.lan' te; " out of do fash. ioia." He bIegged Franklin would only please for remeinb ,:'dat his head. had niot de honneer to be ni in Parree.

Not de great Duke D'Orlea nor de grand mon arch himself had h such a head as Doe teer Franklin. Ani e did not see, hie said, what business any )by had wid a head more bir 1ani de he';ad of grand monarch."

We would say a word to you i kindness, for we are your friend, and would save you frn the galling bondage in which youi are entslaved. We know it is the work of the liquor seller to persuade you he is your best frieid, and the Tem-inperance men your per sonal enenies. Lt us try the two by that standard erected by immaculate wisdom auind truth-" By their fruils ye shall know theiai." Let us first see what are the " fruits" which the liquor-seller's friendship bestows upon yourself aid family ? First, it gives you redness of eyes, distorted visage, tattred grarients, a disor-dered intellect, ruined con stitution, a-.d a debased character. Oun your family it entails misery, want and anguish unspe'akable, overburdenaing her haeart with grief unautterable, and settling like a paill of starless night upon her spirit atnd haopes for the future. To youar children it ensures ig norance, de'gra dationl, ign ominiy and crime. Instead of a Ii ie o~f usefulness, honor and in dependence, the certaiiaty of a career of dis soluteneiss, shamae and paiuperism lies before them, with thme fair parospect of termiination in the prison, the penitentiairy or at the gal-I lows. For your hiard-earned dimnes, Ithesc are the ''frvi's'' which the liquoir.seller gives. Let us look at the other side of the pie inre: Tihe Temperance man is y-our friend from no0 interested motive. .lie seeks not tu take lie on hig canty living, but to place you ini the ighroa torespectability, usefulness, a-Id indepeindence. To' y'our wire, he would impart a cheerful smile to greet you in your incomnings, and( to linger like a ray of happy sun shine irn youir outgoings. Hie wvould fill her heairt wvith pleasure and her daiiry and lardler with plenty. To your chaildrmen he would give principle, education, and aun un stauined reputation, enabling thaem to take rank in society for honor, wvealth anid inaflu ence. In a word. lie would "do you good,~ and not evil, all the days of youir life," anid lead you to that "fountain for sin anid un clealiness," whierte you may be wvashed from guilt and pollution and prepared for a residence iin the skies. What thinak you, poo misguided, -unfortu nte fellow mortal, of the two por-tramits we have dra urn ? Ponder well, we beseech y-ou upIon them, and may God direct you to wise and happy conclusions.-Spirit of the Age. GooD IIUSBANDs MAKE GOOD WIvEs. Ther~e is something very lovely in seeing a womani ove rcomne those little domestic dis quiets wvhich ever-y mnistress of a family has to cointend with, sitting downi to her break fast taible in the moriiing with a cheerful countenanco, andi endeuavoring to proamote iinocenit an:] pleaisant conversation among her little circle, But vain) will, be her amia ble efforts at$ pleasure, unless she is assisted by her husband and other members arounid, and truly it is aun unpleasant sight, to see a family, when collected togetheri, instead of enlivening the g-aiet scene with a little good humor-ed clmt, sitting like statues, as if each is unworthy the attention of the other. And then, whlen ai striager conies in, 0 dlear! such smiles, an~d animationi, ai lnaquacity!
