The. Subbath Bell!—how soothing flow Those greetings to the peasant’s breast! Who knows not labor, ne’er can know The blessed calm that sweetens rest! The day spring of his pilgrimage, Who, freed awhile from eartLlycare, Turns meekly to the heaven taught page, And reads his hopes recorded there. The Sabbath Bell!—yes, not in vain That bidding on ihe gale is borne— Glad respite from the . choing wain, The sounding ax-, the clamorous horn—*.’ Far other thoughts those notes inspire, When youth forgets his frolic pace, Arid man and matron, son and sire, 7 heir church way path together trace. The Sabhath Bell!—ere yet the peal In listening murmurs melt av ay, Tis sweet with reverent step to steal Where rests around each kindred clay Where burii-d love and severed friends, Parent and offspring, shrouded !ie !

The disciple, after earching for it in vain went to his priest, with tears in his eyes; “A!a>!” cried ho, “I have lost my Idol, what shall I do!” “Wretch!”— cried the priest, ‘ thou hast lost thy «>od! then hou bast only to prepare to die. Nothing but hy death cun appease the wrath ol Siva. Tbc only favor that can be granted thee, is to choose of three kinds of death—that thou ^houldst pull out thy tongue, or be suffocated hy the steam of incense, or drown thyself, choose, and choose speedily.” ‘Well, then.” -.aid the disciple, “since 1 must die, I should pr-fer drowning to the other kinds ot death, for then I can advance into the water little hy little, and so lose my life, as it were, unawares. I trust, however, that you will accompany me o the water’s edge, and give me your bles sing.” The priest willingly consented, and followed his disc.ple to the stream. As the latter Went in, the priest loudly exhorted him to he courageous, promising him perfect hap oiness in paradise. The disciple was now in the water up to his neck, when turning to the priest, he said, “My dear master, belore 1 die, grant me one favor; lend me your idol that I may adore it, afier which 1 shall die content ed.” The priest consented, and the disciple came to the bank, received the Idol and re- rn’errd ’he watrr When he had got a con- sideiable depth, he let fall the idol, asbyacci d-nt, and cried out with great apparent emo ‘ion. Ah, Sir! what a misfortune! your Idol is k>t! ii iv gone to the bottom. Alas’ how sin- t erelv I lament your fate. Yet were it not for m. attachment to your person, I should bless tins accjdetd as the happy means of obtaining for me the advantage ol dying in company with my cpiiMuul guide. Y-s we rnusl die togeth er a* we liavt both lost cm l.Lls, and I trust I shall follow you to ihe paradise of Siva.” H theo approached the priest, and seizing him. [>rotested he would die with him; while the priest, pale and trembling, regarded his wicked disciple for 90m* time without speaking. At last he said, “Well, after all, where is the great harm of losing a little stone image not worth a farthing?

IN THE FASHION. Mr. Editor—We have so many great men now-a-days, and Dinners have become so fre quent. that I should hardly think of communi cating the ‘following account of one, were it not of a character somewhat novel, and out of the common track.

They offered to submit in the most quiet manner to any ar rangement the keeper might make by guards, or otherwise, to prevent the possibility of any tumujt or attempt to escape At first the keeper was a good deal at a los9 what an swer to return, but reflecting tnat he was on ly responsible for the safe-keeping of the scoundrels, and, being somewhat curious to witness so singulars specacle, he determined to give his consent, and having taken the precau tion to double his guards, the parti-colored company assembled precisely at 2 o’clock and sat down to a scanty dinner, provided for the occasion Mr. Peter Picklock, in his woollen cap, was unanimously called upon to preside, and was supported by Messrs Burglary and Arson as Vice-Presidents The utmost hilari ty and good fellowship prevailed, the after noon pa-sed off in the most delightful johfica- tioo.and at the usual lock up hour the whole party were severally conducted to their re spective dungeons or cells without the occur rence of a single circumstance to interrupt the general satisfaction.

In the present dreary aspect of oor public •flairs, it is cheering to seethe Ministers of a respectable class ot Christians coming forward, and warning their countrymen against the hor rible results which ere likely to ensue from the unhappy excitement that now pervades our state. It is, therefore, with much gratifica tion we lay the following resolutions before our readers. RESOLUTIONS Of the Saluda Baptist Association, passed at their late Session, held at Neale’s Creek Church, in Anderson District, S. C. from the 1th to 'the 9th of Avgust, 1830. Resolved, 1st. lhat the present unhappy state of things in the affairs of the General Go vernment, relating to the Tariff and Internal Improvement, demands our serious and pray erful attention as men, as patriots, and us Christians. We disclaim all intermeddling in the political viows which are entertained hy our Statesmen arid Citizens at Lrge. We carefully avoid the attempt to exert any influ ence by the expression of our own opinions, on either side of the divided state of public sen timent, in relation to the measures of the Gen eral Government. As 0 religious body, out views have regard to what may be the sad rc» suits ol the prese» 1 course of things in a politi cal, moral, and reL-^ous point of light. Consi dering that our dearest rights, and the integri ty, the unbroken whole, of the United S:aler are m jeopardy, ii t^ocomes us as Christians tcv approach the throne of the most High, to sup plicate his aid for the prose, v.ition of those blessings, which he has so munificently poured out upon us. It must be acknowledged, that wc deserve the displeasure and the judgments of our heav enly Father, for our pride, our extravagance, and the abuse of his rich favors, both in cur national and individual character. And it may be, that God is about to leave us to our owe misguided passions as a chastisement, that we may become a prey to our own sinful hearts. Or it may be, that leaving us for awhile to ourselves, we may reach that extremity in cur national affairs, which may teach us more im pressively, than we have been taught, by for mer lessons, the solemn truths, “That it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.” That “Except the Lord build the hou^e, they labor in vain, that build it; except the Lord keep the city the watchman waketh in vain.” And when we shall thus be taught these salutary lessons, it may please the most high to make our extremity, the occasion ofhis gracious op portunity to relieve us from our unhappy con dition, and to set us up on high again. But whatever may be the inscrutable de signs of Jehovah, it must be acknowledged, that it is our duty to humble ourselves under his mighty haod. It i 3 true, that God has not left us as a nation or as individual States. Of this fact, we have pleasing evidence in the in crease of piety and benevolence, so actively employed in the moral machinery, so power- fully operating through our whole country.— • What better then can we do, than labor to call up within our own State, that spirit in our pre- A Printer's Anecdote.—Asfwe were going down street last week, we met a man inquir ing for our office.
