VAROETY, """" 1 My Grandfather's Sunday School. 801110 twenty years efore the commchc*!mcnt of tho revolutionary wnr, my grandfather lived in Charlotte county, Virginia, as I10 did during tho whole war. IJc was deeply and fervently pious, a,nd yet his greatest besetting-sin, if not his only one, was a most violent and ungovernable teinpo'r. '.This wns the ono weak point of liis character?the ono perilous infirmity of his nature. It is not to be wondered at, then, that his infirmity of temper formed the subject of many' a hourtfclt nraver. lie prayed that it might be blotted out, and never again mar the boautv of his otherwise calm and tranquil life. Mo prayed deeply, fervently, with what effeet the sequel will show. Having a good many Africans, old and young, in his possession, his mind became Wonderfully exercised as to his duty, in a Christian point of vlcW, towards thorn.? Poor ignorant creatures that the? wnr?. li? felt the obligations of religion hearing upon hir? in nil their force, to enlighten the darkness of their understanding* j and thu? feeling, he called the whole family of blacks np stairs, in his best room, and rcgulftrly established a Sunday-school. The first effort in that way was a failure?arising from tli*i outhursting of his temper?but on the next Sunday, lie determined to govern his temper better, and "to sprinkle cool patience" upon his hot and fiery nature. It io /.f 1? 11 i-T ' r t . ? ? w. viiv uuAt i^unuiiy mm 1 wish to speaK. My grandfather hud a great many sons, and amongst them a nolo Hum stood conspicuous for waggery and all manner of mischief. He had heard of the blow-up of my grandfather's hobby ou the. first Sunday, and lie resolved to be. near enough, though unseen, to hear all that took place on the next Sabbath. Accordingly, he took his position on tho coping of the ehiinney, outside of the house, from which it waff easy to hear all took place overhead. The end wmuuwH wore ruiseu, ami then my grandfather's usual tone of voice might rival a young dap of thunder, and when roused, it mounted to the majesty of the loudest. leaning forward ft little, he could eu:;ily see all over the room, and he himself unseen. From this room the stairway led dowu into what, was called the hall, and at its foot, the stairway was closed by a doov, near the grand hjdl door. it-- - -? !< ?! wim k;id.?; crown oi a means collected in the best room, up stairs, and all standinground the room, and fcrrtyed in their "bent Sunday-go-to-meetin^s 1" My grandfather was very particular in having them all neatly clothed on that day, their hair combcd, and faecs .shining like blacking balls. It was a beautiful study to look upon the countenance of my grandfather, as !n walked into the room on that quiet and holy day. lie wop just from, 1ud bond cd knows, and was confident of a signal and glorious;victory over his tormentor. In deeply solemu tones, he commenced the exercises tlmn: "Boson," said my grandfather', to a Venerable old negro, will begin with you again to-day, ns you are the oldest. They all Jook up to you, arid, if you say what T suyj i ight, they will catch the word*, and all say right. Now, IJoscn, don't?don't niako me commit sin to-day, as you did kust Sunday. Don-'t clnn't.
