The teinerity with whichil iIlOV€I't‘Cl on

young man, could only be appreciated by a
fatuitous creduliiy. The nuinbeis of very
fit mothers of very plain families, \\ ho can
point me otit to their respectable offsprings
as their once imminent pupa, is ludicrously
ipiprobibli-. The truth is I hail a powerful
itiiaginzition in my early youth. and no ‘re-

was agony, ecstacy! To anything with
curls and skirts, especially if encircled by a
‘sky blue sash. my heart was as pfodigal as
a Crown hydrant. Ah me!
But, of all my short eternal attrichnic-nts

T.-—but if she did not continue to love me—
P. Trott or no P. 'I'rott—she was shocking-

stars, usually considered very attentive listen-

secured to live very harmoniously, and if I
availed myself of such little consolotions as
fell in my way. it was the result of pbiloso
phy. I never forgot the faiible-ss Fidelia.
This isio be a disernbowelled narrative,
dear re.tder—skipping from the nitride-nhood
of my heroine to her widow-hood, fifteen
years —yel. I would have you supply here
and there it betwei-nity. My own sufferings
at seeing my adored Fidelia go daily into
another rnnn’s house and shut the door after
her, you can easily conceive. Thpugh not
in the habit of rebelling against human iri-
siitutions, it did seem to me that the mar-
riage ceremony had no business to_give old
'I‘rott quite so much for his monqiy. But
the aggravating part of it was to come!

of course three hundred and sixty fire notice-

I wiped my eyes and looked again. Old

was nothing. Her guitar lay on the table,‘

esiablished‘ clergy, are regenerated when the
water-is sprinkled (upon them; but they re-
fuse to recognize the baptism of the minis-
ters of other denominations, as baptism at all.
They hold that there is no salvation for those
who are without the pale of the church.-—
They denounce the reformation, and look
forward with eager desire to a union between
the:Church of England and the Church of
Rome. __ They uiaintainiiliat the Church has
no authority above that of the State; and
that the Sovereign and the Senate are bound
to the dictum of the Church. They lay but
little stress on those doctrinal matters which
the evangelical clergy in the establishment
regard as necessary to salvation. They
attach much greater importance to the wri-
tings ol the fathers than to the narratives of
the inspired evangelists and the episiles of
the apostles.
They hold indeed, that the scriptures
ought not to be read at all by the laity, un-
less accompanied by the exposition of their
rrieuning to be found in the book of Common
Prayer. They virtually reject the
atonement, and set aside as fanaticism
what is regarded by other bodies as religion
of the heart. They look upon religion ‘as
mainly consisting in the observances of forms
and cerernonies. They maintain that. the
bread and wine in the sacrament are con-
verted when consecrated by the clergy, into
the actual flesh and blood of Christ, and that
the sacrament constitutes a kind of continua-
tion of the attonerneiit of Christ on the cross.
It is for maintaining these two latter points
in a sermon preachtd at the Cathedral of
Oxford three weeks ago. that Dr. Pusey has
been convicted of popish heresy by a board
of Divim-s. and sentenced by the Vice Chan.
cellor to two years prohibition from preach-
ing Within the precints ofthe University.
Pust-yisin has made extraordinary pro-
gress in the church within the last three
years. It is calculated thzint out of twelve
thousand clergy in England and Wales,
nine thousand or three fourths of the whole
are deeply tainted with it. In Scotland
again. the whole of the Episcopal clergy
with the exception ofthree or fotir. are deci-
ded Pitseyites. In Ireland it is making
alarming progress. It is calculated that the
majority of the bench of Bishops are more
or less tinged with it. Those of the prelatei
who most openly advocate Puseyite princi-
yles are the Bishop ofExeter, the Bishop of
London, and the Bishop of Oxford. Among

PUSX-ZYlsM.—A/l this time the papers are filled
more or less with matters relating to what’ in
the religious world is called Puseyism and that
our readers mayiutidcrstand the points of dis-
sent between Cliiirchmen and the Puseyitcs.
we give the following-article from the London
Observer.'a religious paper of that city.
"ORIGIN, CHARACTER PREVALENCE OF
PUSEYISM.
The intense and universal interest now felt
in the subject of Puseyistii will ensure an
t‘ttg"I' perusal ofa brief statement of ihe'cir-
cu-iistziiit-es under which it originated, rind
tliepositioti it now occupies. In the year
I833 the Rev. Dr. Rose of King's College,
the Rev. Mr. Percitril, Dr Pusey, and two
or three other Clt’|g_Vlllr-Tl, nut in the house

which we have re-ferred.
The celebrated "'l‘r:.cts for the Times,”
had their origin in the meeting in question.
These tracts appeared at irreguirrr intervals,
and were published at prices varying ac-
cording to the quantity pfrnatter, from two
pence to six pence. The Tracts soon at-
tracted general attention, from the startling
doctrines they advanced; and as the tendin-
cy of all of them was to exalt authority of
the church and increase the importance of
the clergy, by. investing them with special

-it reached No. 90, which so openly and
strenuou-ly advocated Popish principles,
that the Oxford Bishop felt call-d upon to
interpose his authority, and-put an end to
the further publication of the Tracts. The
lust of the series, No. 90, create-dva deep sen-
sation, especially as it was soon discovered
that it had contributed to make several indi-

the churches and chapels in London in
lwhich Puseyite practice prevails to the
greatest extent, will be found Shoreditcl;
.cburch and Margaret street chapel, Oxford
street.
In the-latter place it would be difficult to
perceive any diflerence between the form
of worship and that observed in the Roman
Catholic Church. In many oftbe Puseyiie
churches and chapels daily worship has
been established, and in all of them, we be.
lieve. the sacrament is udininistered weekly.
We understand the subject will soon be
brought before Parliament, and the question
to be determined will be, whether a Protest-
ant couotrv ought to be called on so "pay
from =£6,000_000 to s-£7,000,000 a year to

principles, and observing popish practices in

This article has been very extensively pub-
lished in this country, and the only exception
taken to it that we have seen, respect: the
progress of Puseyism. In this particular it in
thought to be exaggerated. In 1!. note appended
to it by some of our cotemporaries. painting out
this supposed exaggeration. it is stated that the
English Bishops, with one exception. are be-
lieved now to be against it ; and so are nearly-
all the newspapers of the Episcopal denomina-
tion, 'ooili in England and tbiscouutry.
A Story for C}rz'ld7'en._—A farmel‘
brought five peaches from the city, the fines‘.
that were to be found. Butthis was the first
time that the children had seen any fruit of
the kind. So they admired and greatly re.
joiced over the beautiful peaches with red
cheeks and soft pulps. The father gave one
to each ofhis four sons, and the fifth to their
mother.
In the evening as the children were about
retiring to sleep, their father inquired, -Welt
boys how do the peaches taste .7’ I
‘Excellent. dear father,’ said the eldest.‘
‘It is a beautiful fruit, so juicy and so please
ant. I have carefully preserved the stone,
and will cultivate a tree for myself,’
‘Well done!’ said the father; ‘this is bus.-
bandry to provide for the future, and is be:
coming to a farmer,
‘I are mine,’ exclaimed the youngest, -‘and
threw the stone away. and mother gave me
half of hers. Oh that tasted so sneer, and
melted in my mouth. I
‘You,’ suid the father, ‘have not acted very
wisely. but in a natural and childlike man.-
ner. There is still time enough in your life‘
to practice wisdom. ' ' .
Then the second began, ‘I picked up the
stone which my brother threw away, and
cracked it open; it contained gr kernel that
tasted as good as a not, And my peach [

The father patted him on the he.id,sayi_ng
That was indeed prudent, but it was not
natural for _a child. Mny heaven preserve
you from being a merchant.’ _
