Led by her heavenly maker tho ’ unseen, •dud guided by his voice ***** Milton. The brilliancy of a fair and un clouded sunset, had been succeeded by the mellow rays of a full naobn, now standing at tuerediac, whose sitting .splendor, decorated vernal nature I with sw'eetest tints, in rich profusion, when 1 wandered through the grove, skirting the village (where i was a casual visitant,) to enjoy the calm serenity of the sceih*. I soon discovered numerous crowds passing iu Urn efcwe direction, and led by cu riosity, I abandoned my first inten tion, to enj<y the evening in solitude, and determined to follow the multi tude, and ascertain its object; a few hundred yards brought us to au area of, probably, an acre, in the centre of which stood a large arbor, rudely constructed of p |es and brushwood, under which a numerous collection Was fast assembling. Seats were tinned of l'gs, and at one extremity was an end -sure, in the centre ol which, a stage had been elevated— evidently intended as a place of pub lic worship. This then, said 1, must be a house of G >d. The days of pri meval religion, when the Saviour, en tering the tenement of frail mortality, appeared among men, to teach his ll.dy Gospel, at once struck me with awe. The ministers all sitting on tin stage, in the attitude of devotion, sur rounded by so rude a structure, re minds one f the Saviour, with his Apostles, teaching the iriulitudc in the wilderness. A venerable minister, silvered with the hoary frosts of age* rose and read, in an audible, yet tie inulous voice, the beautiful llymn be ginning with “ Sweet is the work my God my Ring,” whir h was responded by the congregation, in full < h rus, in a strain of sweetest melody, which methoiight i had never heard surpas sed. It floated oil the air, until tin- tones of the mingling voices seemed lost in the distant e, and if ever the music of the choristers of ihe church reach the footstool ot the Saviours Throne, these sweet numbers must have been wafted there. As snon as the singing was conclu ded, the aged Minister, bending in the attitude of Prayer, breathed fai th an Orison for the general benefit of the mourners, in which, 1 thought, 1 bad never witnessed the humble lan guage of the meek and lowly suppliant more ably or more feelingly portray-! ed; each listner was as silent as the 1 iiousc of death, not a lisp, not a breath disturbed the altar of the most high God, other than that of his aged ser vant-, and the heart burs nig amen of the mourners, at each losing period (1! it was a Prayer where The human eharacter and human iniquities were ably portrayed—where thy blandish ments of folly, and the ittiquity of; vice, which iharacterize the human family, wts ably explained, and the remedy asked most feeling and humble manner In ad ever heard; tt expressed; many there*, wore who mourned over their own wickedness, and many whose bursting hearts yearned for relief from so grievous a ‘ urtlien of sin and depravity. L*-* mentation and mourning was heard from many hearts who had, but a fi;w minutes before entering the rude building, light and careless as the bu and which sings its song in the grove, where nothing can disturb its haruio ny. I particularly noticed a young female, apparently, not more tiian fourteen, whose sobs were distinctly audible, unable to continue in her seat, under the weight of her emotions, she sunk on her knees, uncopcious of those a round, and soon prayed fervently. Apparently relieved, she arose, after a few moments, and joined in the Hymn, the congregation were sing ing. As soon as it was concluded, a young minister arose, read a few ver ses from the Scriptures, fiom which he selected for his text “ Coine all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” liis renlirks were brief, yet expressive—he com ; menred by explaining the life and history of our Saviour, in a most feel - j ing and pathetic manner—the vision of j Bethlehem—his sufferings and perse- j cutions while yet an infant in the man- j ger—his ripening w isdom in early j years, and the final close and suffer ings of his earthly pilgrimage—ids numerous and prophetic sayings a niid the dying agonies of the cross— the period of his resurrection and ap pearance again among Ins disripies, until the final ascension to the mercy jfleat at the right baud of God. Ail most eloquently described, in the glowing and pathetic language of a devoted servant of the glorious Re deemer, He finally closed his- re marks, by exorung the multitude to follow the wise precepts and glorious example set before them, ’till out few ryes were dry. I again marked the young penitent, whose sobs were so audible as to be distinctly heard wti*Te I stood. 1 recognized her to beau acquaintance I hau long known, though not aware, until that moment, tnat she was in the neighborhood >f the meeting- I watched, closely , the the writhing of her countenance, evi dently under strong conviction—des pair seemed, for a while, to be piitur -d there —then a settled gloom, which passed, now aud then, into a faint glimmer of hope, while she inwardly prayed with intent interest—finally,! saw the happy gleaming of. hope, dawn upon her aiul beam tyrth, in a glow of rauiance, even more than human—then was sho indeed happy, most happy ** Vfßhiri tins time, the sermon was coqpl titled the congregation had all uiftted in a song of praise—the young Convert bursi fbrth in a shout of joy and thanksgiving, recounting, in a strain f * most ei querit the heal ing balm that had to soul, As soon as the meeting w-as conclu ded, 1 made myself known to Fran ces, and escorted her to the tent where sbe lodged. She was somewhat sur prised to see me, as we had both left our homes, without either knowing the destination of the other. She told me w hat had been done for her soul, aud expressed an ardent hope that her friends might soon taste these holy pleasures. I never saw so altered a being—Before, she was proud, gay and volatile—without care or thought of eternity, and often have I heard her repeating, in mockery, the pray- ers ami admonitions of the grey hair ed monsters of God—But now, she seeks, she wishes no other was much alone, no doubt in prayer, or spending her time with the most devout and exemplary Christians. I returned to my home in a few days and Fanny retur>ed soon after ward. She was joyously greeted by her friends, many of whom were al ready members of the Christian church,*and they ni>w farm as happy a circle, as can possibly exist in this transitory world. EUGENIO. J For the CABfNjjj/T.

F. DVIXQ FRIEXDS. Who that liveth hath not felt the pang of separation which death in terposes betwixt the dearest friends? Where is the heart that has not bled by the keen dart of the great Tyrant? Where is the house into which the gloom of mortality has never intro duced the still horror of faded forms and dissolving relicks? Who cannot feel resposive sympathy with the Psalm ist, when he complains so tenderly. Lover and friend tliou hast put far from me and my acquaintance into dark ness? To many this life is little more than a dark gallery, hung with tho images of the tomb, and c heered only by the lamp of hope which throws a flickering light upon the grand ter mination. Almost every day that passes is the anniversary of some ca lamity which reminds them of the prosi ration of their earthly hopejs, and of friendship’s last farewell. Dying friends read us an awful, yet instructive lesson. To stand by them and see the world gradually re
