J. V UAJICUL uio to follow liitn in his cccciitric course, would be as rational, as to expect that 1 1 should follow the eccentric movements of a * wandering comet, or of a moth, (to fall from ' the sublime to tlie ridiculous,) which bcintj 1 attracted by the light of a candle, incessantly flutters around its flame until it commits : self-destruction. ! In Psalms, (80,) wo read : "Thou hast ' brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast ( cast out the heathen and planted it. The liillo trrnrn Ai tvifli !??* ?l mid the branches thereof were like the good- ' ly cedars.?The boar out of the wood doth ( waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it." Tho spirit, the meaning, of tliis passago was embodied by me in my first article, in the P Miner, if not the identical language i ?. of tho Bible. Strange to say. both this learned writer;*, on biblical quotations, and the Tcmpcrance Standard, seemed in their innocence, not to dream of the original source of my comparison ; and this erudite writer published, for the edification of the world, many foolish paragraphs about the ^ "toild boar," as a similitude of my own ere- ( ation, and a mere freak of my own imng- j ination. To which, I say : could I silently ( look on, while the wild boar rooted up the vineyard of the Lord ? I Whilst I was wondering at this gross igignorancc and presumption of the writer, it was again and again insinuated io me that this nameless loritcr was a clergyman, and that I must be mistaken. I positively rejected again this suggestion and crude charge of ignorance ogainst any Rev. gentleman. Ho certainly would have been ac- ' quainted, said I, with the history of the Reformation, and then ho would have known that'even Cardinal Celio Calcagnini said, I -alluding to tlio famous scholar Erasmus' hesitation to take narfc Wltll tltf> Am or* I \ A- ""V Church : "That he looked sedately on whilst ! tho wild boar (alluding to Martin Luther) 1 rooted up the vineyard of the Lord." I simply put this display of ignorance to 1 the account of some one, with paltry motives, with petty .vanities, with short-sighted ignorance, with little mind- and small passions, and that from such a one, with so pitiful elements of character, nothing great 1 could be expected. This accounts for the ' writer's mock irony, and would-be wit, for ' his flippancy and trifling style about a quo- ' tation from the Bible, and about a subject |' ot eucli vital importance. fto one vcncr- ' ates more than myself tlie moral truths of ' the-Bible, and has more respect for those that preach the gosgel from their pulpits. I I therefore discard and dismiss any such i charge against any clergyman, and leave 1 their y^gue conjectures to llioso who love to speculate on all such matters ; my own I taste leads me to the positive, and to the < indisputable facts of this subject-. < To be sure, I have seen clergymen at i temperance lectures, and-who countenanced, i by their presence, the ridicule that was cast upon religious people, which was only cal- , culated to produce a laugh, at the expense j of religion, in the impious. They ought to ] havo denounced boldly any such proceeding;.gs a profanation, under the cloak of , supporting a great and useful reform. If this writer knows me, he must know, that I hold in contempt any sitffterfuge, or disguise, or to resort to any trickeries unbecoming a sacred subject. Truth and utility aro my only aim. I advocate the temperance canse, but thq temperance cause of vine yards, not because I am to ^benefitted by it;tbp? because I love to see the triumph of txalSK ' My" warm devotion to this cause is humility and truth. But, "Truth," 6ay8* Jolm'.liocke, "scarcely ever yet carried iti>7 vote any where a tits first appearance."

His text suits him for-onco. "lie Lhinketh lie knoweth something, but he knoweth nolliiug as he ouylit to know."?
