onytlie happy beans and belles who were
assembling for what they deemed innocent
amusement; and such it might have been
but was not. The company at length
arrived—-Robert Ellison and his sisters
among them—-and the festivities of the
evening began. VVe will not stay to de-
ssribe them; it is enough to say that every
thing was fashionahle—-except one topic
of conversation which was introduced
, near the close of the evening, namely, a
recent revival of religion in the village
where June Arlington resided: and though
this was not a fashionable subject for a
fashionable party, yet it was tolerated on
this occasion, and became exccdingly
interesting, and elicited many character-
istic remarks. The company had grown
weary of talking en masse, and had divided
into half a dozen groups, each endeavoring
in vain to keep up the excitement of the
occasion, when Oliver Freethinker abrubt-
ly exclaimed: “ Ladies and gentlemen! I
wonder if you have heard of the revival
that’s§going on down in the village of M.
They say it's really powerful.”
“ A revival of what ’!” said Ellen Blake-
more.
“D, religion, of course,” replied Mr.
Freethinlcer.
“ A revival of religion’! Pray what do
3'0u"mean 'l” inquired Lucius Merriman.
“Why, to be sure,” rejoined Mr. F. “I
mvan a development of modem fanaticism,
denominated by many of our cynical par-
Sfins conversion, or being born again, but
which islin fact only an extraordinary an-
imal exiaitement, got _up.b_y the deacon;
and priests for sectarian purposes, True,
the sanctimonious hypocrites who figure
most in these confused and ran'ing opera-
tions call it the -power and grace of God
pourled out] on the people: or, in other
\VOl’( s—-re igion revived !”
“ VVhat strange ideas!” exclaimed Lau-
ra Paxton. “Why,I never heard our
minister say anything about ‘ conversion,’
or being ‘ born again,’ and he’s one of the
best educated men in the country.”
“Nor I ours,” said ‘Emma Wheeler,
“ only when he dealt a few blows of argu-
mentative irony against the religious follies
of the age, last 'l‘hanksgiving day; then I
believe he said something about ‘conver-
sion,’ or ‘ regeneration,’ but he declared
it all a piece of theological nonsense,
ant ’m sure I think so too.”
“ Well, I’m not certain of that,” replied
James Morgan, “I've been down to par-
sou Grundy’s. meeting several times,
where the revival l,S going on, and, ‘ by
the living kokies, . as Sam Slick says,
thcy’ve got something down there that I
can’t account for. Vlfhether it is religion
or mesmerism. it is more than I can tell;
but the way they bring the people up to
the anxious seat (as they call it) after
preacliing, is not slow.”
“Why, James, what are you talking
about?” exclaimed Susan VVhiting.
J “What I have seen, to be sure,” replied
ames.
“ My attention was particularly attract-
cd by a young woman in a seat opposite
where I stood. I noticed her before, at
the time she came forward. She was a
beautiful creature, and I regretted that
one so apparently accomplished and love-
ly, should be entangled in the meshes of
sectarian so"ul-catchers. She was bathed
in tears, and seemed incapable of consola-
tion; bnt when one of their hymns were
sung, the cloud of her sorrows was dissi-
pated—-her countenance beamed with un-
earthly radiance, and she began to say, in
a tone so rich and mellow, ‘Praise the
Lorr_‘l..” that it really appeared as thoughl
was listening to the voice of some white-
robed angel that had chanced to join in
the orisons of the evening! I have always
had———(l beg your pardon, ladies, for saying
it,) a very high regard for the ‘softer sex,’
but, by the charms of Venus, I never was
more completely puzzled than’! was with
the mesmeric influence which that inno-
cent and beautiful creature exerted upon
me !”
“And so you really was love-smitten at
the revival, was you, Mr. Morgan,” said
Emma Wheeler. “A fine place, I should
think, for Cnpid’s capers! I wonder who
the ‘beautiful creature’ could be of whom
you was so enamored 7.”
“ Not exactly smitten,” said James,
“ but very much interested, Miss Wheel-
er. Who the y_oung lady was I cannot
tell, only argentleman at my side informed
me that she was the daughter of a poor,
but worthy widow in the village.”
“,Oh! ll..mUSl. have been Jane Arling-
ton, exclaimed Laura Paxon; and the fire
of anxiety and mortification kindled a
deeper red than usual on Robert Ellison's
check, which was not unobserved by the
watchful Miss Sarah Saunders.
“Jane Arlington! and who is Jane Ar-
lington 7." replid Ellen Blakemore.
“ Why, to be sure,” said Miss Sarah,
“ she isthe Village Dress-maker! and a
pert little Miss she is, too ;” and she cast
a peculiar glance towards young Ellison;
but he returned it in a manner so perfectly
non-committal, that she could not tell
whether he was pleased or offended.
“ All done, James I” said Lucius Merri-
man; and James resumed the account of
his first evening in person Grundy’s
church.
“ No_t quite, Mr. Merv-lmnn. The change
in the young lady I was talking about is
ti/not I suppose they call ‘experiencing
religion,’ and ifso, paI's0n Grundy Dum-
bered, witliout ‘doubt, more than twenty
converts that-nigl_it;"for, just‘ before the
meeting was closed, -a ‘request was made;
that all ,_who had found comfort should
rise-up and I’m very sure more than
twenty sprung upon their feet. ‘ Glory,
to God!’ said the minister. ‘ The battle
goes well !’ answered a deacon. ‘ I'm so
happy !’ said a swooping sister; and the
congregation struck up one of their jlibi-
lee songs, after which the benediction‘-was
pronounced, and the people reluctantly
retired-—sonie shouting, some singing,
some weeping, and so «vent-A-borne; at
least, I did.”
“..Well, Mr. Morgan," said Freethinker,
“ how do you account for what you saw?
VV‘asn't it alla humbugl At ‘any rate, I
believe so.”
“May be it “ _was-—can‘t telle—don’t
know-—gueus there was some animal mag-
netism about-but after all-”
“All what, James 'l" said Emma Wheel-
er, impatiently.
“ Nothing; only I think person Grun-
dy’s converts were quite as happy as we
are to-night, Emma,” replied James, “es
pecially the Village Dress-maker as you
call her.”
A cloud seemed to have come ovor
Robert Ellison. He appeared thoughtful,
and in a degree quite unusual, absent-
minded—nor could Sarah Saunders, nor
her mother, succeed in rallying him into
merriment, though they tried their best
They spoke sneeringly of Mr. Grund'y's
revival; and Sarah took the opportunity
to ask Julia Wallingford if the company
were not right in saying, that the ‘ beau-
tiful creature’ with which James Morgan
was so delighted,_ was not Jane Arlington 1
“ 0 yes, perfectly so,” replied Julia.-—
“She professed to be__ converted at the
time alluded to, and is as happy an enthu-
siast as I ever saw. Religion is her theme.
She is ,constantly singing, talking, and
praying, and is much thought of among
the ‘devoted brothers and sisters.’ ”
These remarks produced the effect they
were designed to—they stung Robert to
the heart. He loved Jane most tenderly
-but felt bitter enmity for new religion.
He could not doubt that she had been se-
duced into conversion in the revival ma-
noeuvres at Mr. Grundy’s church. The
thought of this he could not endure ; and
he almost wished his obligations were
transferred to the lovely Sarah before him,
who had tried her utmost witchery to
win his heart that night. However, be
resolved to do nothing rashly ; and so aftei
reciprocating all the kind expressions of
Mrs. Saunders and her daughter which he
could consistently, he started for home,
and at twelve o’clock brought up at the
mansion on Walnut Hill. He retired to
his chamber, threw himself on his bed,
but could not sleep. He thought of the
sore trial which awaited him. He ardently
loved Jane; indeed, though pour, she had
been for years the idol of his heart ; se-
cretly, it is tfue, because of a fear of of-
fending his proud father; but all along
he had cherished the hope that, when he
had got through college, and should settle
in some profession, or otherwise, fortune
would so favor him, as that he would be
able to wed the Village Dress-maker with
the approbation, or, at least, the consent
of the ‘ old Squire.’ But now all these
hopes were evaporating! Jane was con-
verted! and how could he endure this’se-
vere calamity’! No, he could not, and
he would not; but first, he determined to
see Jane, and, if possible, set her at rights
again. So, after an hour’s dozing, he rose
half bewildered with what had happened.
--The day hung heavily upon him, and he
longed for the evening shadows. At
length they came, and off he steered, with
his bosom heaving :with uncommon and
conflicting emotions, to see Jane. He
came in sight of the village, and then of
the widow’s humble cottage, and soon
stood upon the threshold of the door. He
waited _a moment—listened—a sound fell
upon his car; he heard his own name
breathed pathetically ! it was the voice of
June in prayer before engaging in her
evening task! The lion of depravity was
roused within him! The playing was well
enough for ministers and deacons, and
worn-out old men and women, but every
way unbefitting a gay young lady I He
had been taught, like thousands of others,
that if a person lived moral, all would be
well-—tha.t experimental religion was not
required in the Bible, or necessary to sai-
vation. _
At last he rapped heavily on the door,
which was soon opened, and Jane once
more stood before him. Heavens! he
thought within himself,:she is more beau-
tiful than ever! “ Why, good evening,
Robert! How glad I am to see you.
Please walk in and be seated. You are in
good health I hope, Robert 3”
“Quite well, I thank you, Jane; only I
was out rather late ‘last night, where I
heard some news respecting you which
has brought me here this evening; for I
did not intend to come until to inorrow,
as I wrote you.” ‘-13-’
“ Well, what news. Robert, did you hear
concerning me inqutilrelq Jane, “I hope
it was not an t in w ic are on i
diditl” y g g _ Y 9”’
“ Why, yes, Jane; I heard quite a long
account from a friend who said he was
acquainted with all the facts, respecting a
so-,callcd revival of religion in Mr. Grun-
dy s parish. He stated what he had seen
in some of Mr. Grundy’s meetings—that a
large number had been converted, as he
called it,‘ and that you, among many oih.
ers in the village, had become a subject
of the delusions; and to ascertain the
truth of these stories,l have called on you
this evening.”
“ W°"i_ -R’9!"‘-’|"{l, am very glad of the
opportunity of conversing with you on
this subject; I have wished :for it these
many happy days, since, I trust, for the
sake of the blessed Savior, God forgave
me my sins, and filled my mindwith unat-
terable peace. ’Tis true, there has been,
and is now a very happy state of things in
the village church; and Mr. Grundy, our

.dusm'a.—Vienna is threatened with all
the horrors of a bombardment. The peo-
ple show little care about the second flight
of the Emperor, whom they consider a
city. They are also fully aware of their
dangerous position. They are forewarned
of their late by the Emperor's farewell
proclamation, in which he says, “I leave
Vienna in order to find somewhere else
the means for the liberation of the subju-
gated population of this town.” The Vi-
enese interpret these words by expressing
that an attack upon their city is «medita-
tcd ; and they are preparing for it.
It appears, that Jellachich, at the , head
of at numerous army of Crotians, was ad-
vancing towards Buda-Pesth, with a view
to suppress the insuriectionary proceed-
ings in Hungary when the intelligence of
the revolution of Vienna reached him.-
He instantly turned his columns in the
direction of -Vienna, and advanced with
rapid strides. towards the capital. Aners-
bcrg, the Emperor's general, who had
previously takcn'up his military position
at Belvidere, in the suburbs of Vienna,
had kept the population in hourly alarm
ofa bombardment; and during the 9th,

of Vienna have undergone all the terrors

Your letter of the 13th has been duly

to in your favor of October I, from

will easily dispense with, when you re-
flect that a mun-of—ivar has not all the
luxuries of a drawing room on shore
Presents, as you ,well remark, will be
necessary in order to OBTAIN FOR YOU
HONORS and L? CERE-.VlONlOUS RE.
CEl"l’lONS. I should advise you to title
with you watches, pistols,diamond rings,
and gold snuff boxes, as those sort of
things are most acceptable. As to

ment ship, will warrant you agninst the
[[_7'intrusive herd of modern tourists, who
chiefly belong to the LOWER cuiss of polite

gentlemen of superior order, particularly
Sir Howard Douglas, at Corfu.
The ladies will perhaps find occasional
recreation in lgstening to the overtures
and Waltzes of an excellent band of niusi-
cians which Ihave attached to the ship.
I remain, dear Genera|,very respectfully
and. truly yours, J. D. ELLIOT.
Democrats! here is “ democracy” for
you! Lewis Cass, while receiving from

the public expense; and not content with
this, he must carry with him divers trink.
ets ivherewith to purchase for himself the
“ HONORS and ‘ CEREMONIOUS RE-
CEPTIONS of the poor half heathen peo-
ple whom he might visit! And’ then it
was necessary that this very nice silk
gloved “democrat” should be protected
from the “intrusive herd of tourists” be-
cause they chiefly belong to the lower class
of.’polite society!” 'l‘rue, the aforesaid
tourists are for the most part, people of
wealth and educati_on——but they are sus-
pected of belonging to a “ lower class”
than this republican Ambassador, and
hence they must not intrude into his au-
gust prescncc !
But what will our democratic tem-
perahce friends say about Cass’ temper-
ance principles’! They have been taugh
to believe that their candidate is, and has
been from his youth a tu: tclaler.’
