THE VISION.—Fragment.
: His form was that of youth, ceect and bright,
In boyhood’s beauty; and the fearless air
Of pride was mingled with the tender grace
That dwelt in every movement; and his brow
Was high and fair, and o’er it clustering locks
Of ebon hair, waved thick and dark: his eye
Was bright and piercing; and its stedfast gaze
Was full of lofty thoughts, that seemed to soar
Far above earth, and range among the stars.

Years had passed o’er him, and yet more than years:
Deep grief had dwelt upon him, and his form
Was bent and faded; and his look of pride
And fearlessness was changed to bitter scorn ;
And the deep trace of passions, fierce and high,
Was on his noble brow: and his dark hair
Was thin and silver sprinkled—his keen eye
Was sunk and hollow, but. not. dimm’d by age,
yet by tears: the once rich bloom that glow’d
tjtai his cheek, a few short years had seen
Digged—withered to the pale and sallow hue
Of h art-corroding care.—He stood on high
As o-V lofty mountain, and men turned

which, like the winds of iEolus, had been
confined within thqir bosoms, by the mild,
but energetic control of their pastor, when
freed from this restraint, burst forth with all
their former violence. In the course of a
year, six candidates were alternately brought
forward by either party, and after preaching
out the allotted time of trial,.were rejected
by the other,—till after another yfear had
elapsed, with no better prospect of success,
the party That had carried the day against
the road, agreed to abandon that ground to
its former supporters, provided they would
give their consent to the settlement of the
candidate then on trial. The road was im
mediately staked out, and the minister re
ceived a call, not quite unanimous, however,
for there were a few honest men who did
not approve of this new way of comp’omising
spiritual affairs with temporal, and one or
two dogged old fellows, through whose
orchards the projected road w as to pass,
who swore pretty roundly “it was sellin
their birth-nght for pottage.”
I arrived at E—, as before observed, at n
fortunate crisis. Having always felt a strong
desire to he present at a country ordination,
my curiosity was likely to he completely
gratified. The town had so long been des
titute of a settled preacher, that in the gene
ral jov at the prospect of an ordination, it
was determined to spare no pains nor ex
pense, to make the celebration worthy the
event. Preparations were commenced
fortnight beforehand. Every house within
a mile of the meeting house, was to be
thrown open for the reception of guests, and
each seemed to vie with the other, in pro
viding the best entertaihtment, and getting
things up in the handsomest etyle.
Why need I record the deaths of the geese,
turkies, and chickens, the pigs, sheep, and
fatted cattle, which were slain in hecatombs,
to contribute to the festivity of the occasion.

FROM THE NEW-ENGLAND GALAXY.
DESCRIPTION OF A COUNTRY ORDINATION.
The country ordinations inNew-England.
were formerly celebrated with great festivi
ty. Whether the importance then attached
to the office of minister, made his induction
into it an event to be distinguished in no or
dinary manner, or whether this distinction
grew from the infrequency of the event, 1
leave for others to decide. Far be it from
me, to reflect discredit on that honourable
class of the community, the clergy, either
by directly or collaterally arguing a decline
of their power and consequence, even in
this secular matter touching ordinations;
but it cannot be concealed that since their
so common occurrence, they are no longer
accompanied with their former show and
hospitality, they have lost the charm which
used to attract such multitudes, and from so
great distances, to the place of the scene.
The customs, practices, and other circum
stances which were wont to be observed on
these occasions, are extinct, like most of
the race of good old-fashioned preachers,
that was settled under them. That their
memory may not entirely fade from the land,
and the unborn antiquarian, in tracing the
history of his country, may not be left in
total darkness on this subject, or be suffered
to grope his way only by the dim and uncer
tain light of oral tradition, I have taken the
.pains to recal, and commit to writing, and
thereby put into a less perishable shape,
some of the most remarkable of their pecu
liarities.
Towards the close of the year 17—, bus?
ness led me to the village of E—, about fifty
miles From Boston. My journey could not
have been accomplished at a more favourable
moment. The town, which comprised but
one parish, had been destitute of a minister
for two whole yem-s,—a circumstance not
without a parallel in the country towns of
New-England. A variety of interests came
into collision in deciding upon the election
of a candidate for the pulpit; though I must
do the country parishes the justice to ac
knowledge they unite with w onderful facility
upon the question of his religious tenets,—
.at least, it was so during the golden days of
orthodoxy. Political quarrels not unfre-
quently exert their pernicious influence on
iSuch occasions, but the greatest mischief
flows from disputes and difficulties uo mat
ter how old or long suppressed—on the
multifarious affairs of town.
In the present instance, the .dissension
had its origin in taking the vote oh a pro
posed new road, The road was lost;
such was the chagrin of the party defeated,
that by that tacit combination which is al
ways,.,the surest of accomplishing its end.
they had ever since perseveringly opposed
every measure that originated wm^aheu*
Tflctojrs. .When, therein, the" pulpit was
Heft vacant by the death pf its formeKncum-
bent, -who possessed that happy figgulty of
stray pig, a solitary turkey, nor a dungin'!
cock, that knight of courage, dared to show
his head w ithin ten miles of the place, till
the minister had been settled a month, and
the parish had returned to their former way
of living. 1 forbear to follow the village
choir to their mighty concerts, while perfect
ing the grand performance,’ on which their
whole strength was to he employed, en
forced by every description of musical in
struments that could be drummed up in the
neighbourhood;—such us are curious in
these matters can commit the recoids of the
ociety, which are still extant, and in which
i vote maf be found, “ that* the thanks of
this choir be given to theVmusieianer who
played on the bassoon ordination day.”
That day at last came, and if my readers
are as impatient for its arrival as were the
inhabitants of E—, I desire their pardon for
taking up so much time in the necessary pre
parations. Long before the services com
menced, people of eveiy description, and in
every kind of conveyance, were moving in
detached parties to the meeting-house
Here a wagon, drawn by two lazy horses
toiled heavily along, with a load of children
large enough to stock a shaker village; at i
little distance, a strong built steed trottef
briskly over the ground, bearing on his hack
a well-dressed youngster, while a sun-hur6t
lass, decked with a profusion of ribbons
was seated behind him on a pillion, with her
arms tightly clasped round his waist; while
thousands on foot, some running, some
walking, and some hobbling, gave the road
the same appearance as the streets of
crow’ded city.
Arrived at the place of destination, the
children tumbling out of the wagons, the
young men assisted their, girls to dismount
at the horse-blo* kf and the crowds sepa
rated, part into the meeting house, and part
among the booths and tents, which had
sprung up, like toad-stools, under the very
droppings of the ?anctusiry, and offered their
various amusements and luxuries, to tempt
the appetites of those who came with pockets
prepared to gratify them. How the cents
jingled, as the little hoys and girls poured
out their long saved treasures, and what de
light was visible in their glowing faces as
they .received, in return a stick of molasses
candy, or a cake of gingerbread! With
what pride the youngster led his bashful
mistress into a crowded tent, and treated
her to a glass of toddy! And how the
countenances of the old men fell, when after
fumbling a long time in their breeches pock
et, they drew out a reluctant four-pence-half-
penny, and paid for the dozen oysters,
which were far gone in a state of putrefac
tion, and which they bad just gobbled down
with exquisite relish.
In some of the tents, a three-strinsred
fiddle was squeaking away most lustily to
the tune of Yankee Hoodie, while a couple
of stout fellow’s with their girls, were dancing
a four handed reel. A hand-organ was
grinding, in another 1 , a grist of monotonous
music, to keep the wrild beasts and specta
tors in good humor. F.very kind of show,
that could possibly take with a collection
like the present, had been drawn to this
common point of attraction, by the same
sort of affinity that swarms of venders and
suftlers follow in the train of an army.

ho remark of Dr. Johnson’s that
shows a [nore intimate acquaintance with

human nature, than that where lie says
“ there is nothing of which a man thinks so
seriously as his dinner.” The absence of
it at the accustomed hour, deranges the
whole internal man, and brings into action
those appetities and passions, which he
possesses in common with the brute. On
this principle, a man and a hog, are equal.
Deprive them of their meals, and they are
both sullen and indignant, and can with dif
ficulty be restrained from taking forcible
means to supply their wants.
The mob about the doors, not relishing
the idea of exchanging substantial food for
empty sound, raised so loud a clamor, that
the music was completely drowned in the
tumult of voices that ensued. When the
poise had abated, it was proposed that a
committee should be chosen to wait upon
the council Amd request their presence. Be

ready disappointed by similar reports, their
patience screwed "to the sticking place, and
their appetites so long tantalized, exclaimed,
w ith one voice, as did the Ephesians of old,
“ dinner! dinner! dinner!”
Like as a mighty mass of water, confined
in narrow bounds, hursts its barriers, and
rushes forth with irresistahle fury, sweeping
every obstacle in its course, so the multi
tude enclosed in the meeting-house, broke
forth with one general movement, and bore
in the strong current all that opposed then!
The houses in the neighbourhood were
soon overflowed, and the tables filled, while
the piles of provisions disappeared like grass
before the locusts of Egypt- In this man;

There are not a few, who repair, each by
himself, and as far as may he, from a known
haunt of another, tp these solitary streams
and mountains. Outlawry, necessity, ava-
riqe, and appetite for lawless, unrestrained,
and unwitnessed roving, constant exposure
tp danger, and a habit of defying the ele
ments, of becoming sufficient to themselves,
the, absolute necessity of relying alone up
on their own personal strength and resour
ces, create an astonishing compound of
quickness and perception, with a reckless
confidence in their ow’n prowess. We have
seen more than one person, of this cast in
curably attached to solitude of labor and
danger, compared with which Robinson
Crusoe’s sojourn on his island was but a
mere pastoral experiment. They furnish an
impressive proof, that there is no mode of
life intrinsically so repulsive and painful, but
man may become reconciled to it by habit.
A lonely hunter, cast upon nature aud the
elements, with nothing but prairies and
paountains in view, without bread or salt,
and in jeopardy from beasts and savages
every hour, amidst scenery and dangers that
would tend naturally to raise the heart to
God, trusting to no divinities hut his knife
and his gun, and building all his plans for
the future,on traps, regarding the footsteps
of man, imprinted ip the 3and, as ob jects of
calculating apprehension, and almost equal
ly dreading the face of the whiteman and
savage; in situations thus lonely and ex
posed, he braves the heat of summer, the
ices and the mountain blast of Winter, the
grizzley bear, and robbers of his own race,
and the savages, for years. When he has
collected a sufficient number of packs of
beaver, he fells a hollow tree, slides it into
some full mountain stream, paddle? down
the thousand leagues of the Missouri, and is
seen with a dress, a gait, and manners, as
appropriate to his pursuits as a sailor’s, bus-
iling about the streets of St. Louis to make
bargains for his furs.—Quarterly Review.
