RICHARD KUE MOONEY. TKRAlS.—Three Dollars per auuuui, pai/abte invariably in advance lrwinton, A'a. Oct. 10, 1839. ~~rilOS L’ECTUS OK THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. frnilS is a monthly Magazine, devoted ■- chiefly to Literature, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tha' fall within the scope of Science ; and not pro essing au entire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will con tinue to be. iu the main, original. Parly Politics, and controversial Tlirol ogij, as far as possible, are jealously exedu ded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valu able matter to which they adhere: but whenever that happens they are incidental, only, not primary. They are dross, tolera ted oniv because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical Notices, ocett py their due space, in the work: audit is the Editor's aim that they should have a three fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting in cidents as are embodied in the works re viewed, —to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to read a,) d to wart? him against wasting time and money' upon that large number, which merit ouly to he burned. In this age of publications that by their variety and multitude, distract and o verwlielmn every untliscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both ; Historical sket ches —and Rkminisknces of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest—may be regarded as forming th»* staple of the work. And of indigenous L’oetry, enough is publish ed—sometimes of no mean strain—to man ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and not one alone, but inanyt The public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes : The soft, assuasive influence of Lit erature is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. A ice and arc rioting abroad They should be lirrvrn by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an immense proportion of our peo pie:—Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be employed, than a periodical on the plan of the Messenger; if that plan be but car ried out in practice ? The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton. there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Ts this con trast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste of the Sou hern people, compared with those of the Northern ? No : for in wealth, ta'ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an equality with our brethren .nd a domestic institution exclusively onr own, beyond all doubt, a'fords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was from.i deep sense of this local want that the word Southern was engrafted on this periodical: and not with any design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate sup posed local inte-ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see me North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating liostilil'l to the north, he has al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence: and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contribute in any es sential ilegi*6C to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacied ties of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now been inexistence four years--the pre sent No commencing the fieth volume. How far it has acted out tile ideas here ut tered, is not for the Editor to say; he be lieves, however, that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fail short of Theory.

They are ‘ the life of my delight ;” Except about election times, And then 1 read for spite. Subscribe, you cannot loses cent, Depend the advice is good ; For cash thus spent is money lent On interest four-fold paid. My grandad used to make his brags Os living at a day, When papers sold as cheap as rags. And trusi was took for pay. My grandma, when she had the blues, Would thank her gracious stars That papers filled with wholesale uews Were scattered every whaiis. I knew two friends, as much alike As e'er you saw 100 stumps; And no phrenologist could find A difference in their bumps. Each had a farm ofcqual worth, A pretty wife to keep— Three boys—three horses and a cow, A dog and twenty sheep. One took the papers, and liis life Is happier than a king's ; Ilis children all can read and write. And talk of men and things. The other took no papers, and While strolling through the wood, A tree fell down upon his crown, And killed him as 4 should. Had he been reading of the “news,” At home, like neighbor Jim, I’ll bet a cent that accident Would not have happened him. Go then and take the papers. And pay to-day, nor pray delay, | And my word heard it is inferred, You live till you are grey. And old newsmonger friend of mine, While dying trmn a cough. Desired to hear the latest news, While he was going off. 1 took the paper, and I rpad Os some new pills in force : He bought a box—and is he dead 7 No ! hearty as a horse. A knew a printer's debtor once, Rack’d with a scorching fever. Who sworeto pay her bill next day, If her disease would leave her. Next morning she was at her work, Divested ol her pain : But did forget to pay her debt, Till taken down again. “Here, Jesse, take these silver wheels. Go pay the printer now !” She spoke, she slept, and then awoke, With health upon her brow \Y hv don't you take the papers : Nor from the printer's visage sneak, Because you borrow of his boy A paper every week. For he who takes the papers, And pays Ins bill when it is due, Can live at peace with God and man. And with the printei too. <YQ'S OiT.T, O it/Se Prom the Ohio Whig. A 3 DRILLING DESCRIPTION. His was t lie thunder—lii'-the avenging rod— The wrath- -the delegated voice of God™ Which shook the nations through Ins lips—- Moore. Friend Smith -The following thrilling description •>('a sermon preached in Mans field. in this State, by the venerable Russel Bowden, some three or four years before I that treat and good man’s death, will, I ap prehend. be read with interest, by many of your subscribers, who were personally ac quainted with and knew how to appreciau the worth of that able defender of divine revelation. 1 find it incorporated in a talc published in the Dover Telegraph, entitled •‘The Buckeye, or sceitca at Mcdfiaid, by 4 J ottfried, t lie author of lndU.n punishments. “Mr. GoMVied,” said my cousin Magda lena, “1 have just been informed that Mr. Bowden is to preach in the vil'age this even ing, would you not like to hear hint ?” • I would,” returned I, for much had 1 heard of the eloquence of this self-taught and truly great man. “Muc’! 1 as 1 have heard of Mr. Bowden,” said 1, “f haV° jet to loam to what sect he belongs.” " ! iVtetl;;."Ust Episcopal Church;” an swered Mrs. Westerin'!:. 1 !. “Where docs lie reside inquired I. “In Mcdfield ; but it is seldom he preach es here, as fie is superintendent or agent ol the Wyandot mission, as well as presiding elder of this district the duties of which several offices, require li is almost constant absence.” “What is his age,” inquired I. “lie cannot be more than thirty-five, but as that bell l ings for the meeting, 1 had bet ter prepare," said Mrs. Wcsterfeldt, leaving the parlor. In a lew minutes more Magdalena took my arm, and we proceeded in the direction ol the Methodist Church. I soon perceived, afier our entrance, that Mr. Bowden had not yet arrived, as the pul pit was enti.ely unoccupied ; the audience turned their heads, and looked towards t!:; 1 door, .it every new arrival. I had abundant time to observe many of the different individ uals composing the crowded audicnoe , the citizens were crowded together without re gard to sex rank or profession, so intense an-l ml »no the interest excited on the occasion. Here you might have seen the acive merchant wedged with the dusky smiih, into a seat scarcely large enough tor oue person, they having dropped tlitw yard stick and hammer for a short tune, to hear the clergyman's wouderous eloquence there you might have seen the dandy clerk, jammed into the narrow space of a child’s rocking chair, sustaining on his knee the weight of some hardy farmer in home-spun and the gay coquettes seated in the same pew with the whitened miller. All eyes wcreonce more turned towards the door, as the members of the bar (as 1 was informed by my cousin) accompanied by the judges of the court, entered and made their way up to the only place ye* unoccupied. They had not been sco!* 1 ' 1 more than five minutes, before a party of some three or four clergy men entered mH slowly made their way to wards the pulpit. The general buzz and confusion whiqh usually prevails at large meetings tt once subsided. I was not long in singling out a large portly looking uwu. with fair hair and blue eyes as Mr. Bowden. “And that,” thought I. “is the great Kus se\l Bowden," gazing upon his prepossessing countenance, as he walked into the pulpit, followed by a small, thin, sickly looking man “And well may he be a gret man,” thought I as lie rolled his magnificent rye over the congregation, before taking his seat. A few minutes after the clergy had 6eated themselves in the pulpit, the thin, weakly look’ng person, who had last entered, arose and in a faint, unliarinonioiis toioe request ed that the doors and windows, which were literally b'oeked up with living forms, might be kept open as much as possible; he then proceeded to read a hvmn, in the same weak grating voice, which pained the listener. “Can it be possible.” thought I, "that I am mistaken ?” and I whispered to Mrs We»ter feldt— “ls it possible that tha.‘ scrawney little fellow is the great Mr. Bowden?” “Yes sir, that is Mr- Bowden,” answered she, and I raised my head in astonishment •nd gazed at him again, but only to satisfy rnyself that he. was one of the most indiffer ent looking men 1 had ever seen behind the sacred de k. lie was about five feet seven or eight in ches in height, his person thin and emaci ated, Iris chest depressed, and his whole form bowed or inclined forward, like a man of seventy ; liis dress was plain, almost shab by. His head was not large, but well form ed, with a high prominent forehead; his face was long, uarrow and irregular, the right side of which seemed so depressed or contracted front some accident, r.s to sub ject him to inconvenience in speaking ; his mouth appeared to have been drawn or in clined towards the right side, by reason of the contraction in that side of toe lace, and although large enough, remained almost closed on tho right side, while the left side wa* entirely distended in speaking; liis eye like a sick man’s, looked weary and melan choly. His voice, his person, liis eye, ges tures. all combined to convey the idea ol a sinking invalid, lie proceeded however, af ter singing a hymn, and offering a short but ardent prayer to the throne of grace, to state the subject of his discourse, which was de signed as a refutation of the doctrine of uni versal salvation. As he progressed with his profound and logical reasoning, his masterly and irrefuta ble arguments, his voice gradually assumed a musical and harmonious lone, which floa ted through the hall like llie silvery tone of the mellow flute, wafted by balmy midnight zephyrs, over the moon lit bosom of some sylvan lake; the music of his voice, like some niysterioys spell rivited the attention of the listener in pleasing astonishment— his form nradually dilated—his bosom ex pauded—his countenance assumed a dighity a grandeur- his eye an inspiration, a tub liuiity—till he stood before the enraptured audience, the august personification of the heathen poet’s ideal divinity. His eloquence approached its crisis, ashe proceeded to draw a contrast between the two extremes of virtue and vice. lie described in glowing imagery the gray haired way-worn pilgrim, as traversing the ei.ith in every di rection, dispensing peace and happiness where e’er he went or came— lie fed the or phan. and wiped away the widow’s tear—his smilo was oil and wine to the wounded spir it—lie kindly healed the lacerated consci ence, and commanded back the overwhelm ing waves ofilespnir from the exhausted and sinking ‘oul—his heart is virtue, benevolence and chastity—his life is sympathy, benefi cence and philanthropy—he journeys to the great city of the proud"—ti.e p ond man en vies him the benedictions of the virtuous poor—-the pilgrim is assaulted, manacled, and incarcerated in the deep, dark, damp vaults of the prison; and here was drawn a picture of wretchedness and misery, which passed the iron to the soul of eiery individ ual of that amlieoce. All heard ihe clink ing ot the prisoner’s chains-—all shumiered and ‘dropped the holiest tear ofse.-sibility,” as they saw the captive turn to lay the little stick upon its bundle, after having etched wilh a rusted nail another notch, to add to the miserable days lie had spent in captivity. But the proud man artayed in “scarlet “•“! ;; U eo,” crowned with a diadem of Itemed with spnmmj; .i;..:r.c n ' l * ZZ» costly stones, revelling In a!! tlic luxury ol affluence, dwelling iu all the “point? and cir sunistance” of greatness, basking in all the homage and sunny smiles of opulence, com mands. orders the victim to be brought forth. The wasted form of the venerable pilgrim, leaning on V'is st iff', totters into llie presence, bis witlieied baud tremble* on his lurrowed brow, to shield fiiseyes from the too brilliant light of the glorious day, which for twenty long year? had not visited fiis dim and ray* Its* orbs. A momentary ray of pleasure Hits across the brow of the kneeling victim, ns he bows his hoary head to the despot, while in a faint voice lie sues to Heaven for pardon on his murdeteis ; he is led to the block; i is lips quiver, and his long silvery locks flutter in the Ireezc, as for the last tune he raises his moistened eyes toward, a better world. But the fatal axe is dropped ; the quivering muscle* the compressed and pallid lips and snow white hair arp dabbled in Mood, as the frnnkless head rolls Iroin - the fatal block. The curtains drop; ami tID 4 *u a ncwscene opens, and the eloquence oi lllis I great inan assumed an elevation, a sublimity and grandeur beyond any thing 1 had ever before conceii ed, as he described tiie hea vens; the judgment seat; ihe songs of the righteous made perfect : the music of angels and cherubim. Beautiful! sublime was that description! Every eye was riveted on the speaker, and several times was the whole multitude dissolved in tears, or suddenly and unconsciously impelled to their feet by the power of hi* eloquence. At one time, when in a clear, plaintive voice he cried, “is here no one to rescue devoted innocence from the impending fate !” 1 unconsciously sprang from ”y seat ; I thought 1 saw the eyes of the devoted pilgrim pleadingly riveted on mine, and felt impelled to his rescue. I found however that in this I was not alone, foi most of4lie audience had simultaneously with me sprung to their feet “My hearers," said the preacher, “w ill those two individuals so differently actuated in this life, whose conduct was governed by .'lie extremes of vittue and vice, meet with the same reward in a future state ol existence. Is it compatible with the unbending and stern justice of the Great Eternal?” After .hi eloquent pause he proceeded with the closing scene, which causes a shudder of horror to thrill through my system, when ever my memory recurs to it. When the disembodied spirit of the pilgrim was present ed before the judgement seat of the Most High, smiles of delight passed through the congregation when he triumphantly waved his palm of victory ; received the everlasting crown of glorv, and life eternal; w hen he re ceived tl.e embraces of the blest, and raised his tremulous voice for the first time, to join the loud hosannahs of saints and angels, as they chanted everlasting strains of heavenly song to the great 1 Am, hysteric shrieks and bursts of joy issued from the females in ev ery pa't of the house. But the scene was not yet closed the ca tast oplie, the great denouement was yet to come, which yet shocks and harrows the soul of all who witnessed it that evening. He pourtrayed the proud man as receiving his sentence; li is curse; his final and eter nal doom. “The guilty soul,'' he said, "in a dreadful consternation, leaped the golden gates of liPtiven, and plunged down, down, down to the dark unfathomable bosom of despair ; the liquid fires, as lie goes, spew up in massy billow to receive him, while the in censed King of Heaven pronounces, 4 depart from me you accursed.’’ Sec., in a voice hoarse as thunder with indignation and in sulted majesty. An eariliqiiake, accompanied with the most tremendous t?eal of thunder could not more have startled the audience, than did the last sentence of the speaker; every indi vi Inal sprang to his feet and all made one general rush towards the door, accompanied with a continued shrieking and wailing of fe males. ]n the confusion, I found my cou sin Magdalena almost in a state of itisenibil ity. I assisted her to the door, anil just as w e gained the open air, the speaker in a tone as soft and soothing as woman’s love, t>\. claimed,“tny friends, fie not disturbed, there is yet a balm in Gilead, ■/ n d a God in Israel.’ We had by the tin? e he completsd this soothing sentence gained the street, and without further made our way home, notwithstanding niy desire to hear this ereat man comphjfe his remarks. Ter.ialc Piely.—-The gem of all other's which encircle ihe coronet of a lady's char acter. is unaffected piety. Natnv* may lav ish much on her person—-the enchantment of the countenance, the gracefulness* of her mien, or strength of Its-,- intellect, yet her loveliness ig uncrowded till piety throws a round the whole the sweetness and power of its charms. She then becomes unea th iv in her temper, unearthly in her desires and associates. Th? ajpell which; bound lira 9.3 L her nflfectinns to things below, is broken* and she mounts on the silent wings ol Ler fancy and hops, to tbs habitation of God, where it will he heir defight to bold com munion with the Spirits that been ratl ; somed from the. thraldom ol earth, and wreathed With a garland of^ioty. Her beauty may throw its magical charm over many—princes and conquerors may bow with admiration at the shribe ol her riches, the sons ot SciencW and poetry embalm her memory in song, yet fitsiy must be her ornament, her pearl. Her name must be written in the ‘book of file,’ that' w hen mountains fade away, and every mem-- ento of earthly greatness in lost in <he gener al wreck of nntnre. it may remain am ell the list of that mighty throng which had been clothed with ihe mantle ot righteous ness, auil whose voices are at'uutd to th» melody of heaven. Wilh each » treasure, every lofty grati fication on eaith may be purchased ; friend ship will be doubly sweet --and the charac ter will possess a price far above rubies; life will be but a visit to earth, and death llie entrance upon a joyful and perpetual home. • * * Such is piety. Like a under flower, planted in the fertile soil of woman’s heart, it grOT.'S expanding its foliage and imparting its fragrance to all around, till transplanted, it is set to bloom in perpetual vigoi, and unfading beauty, in the paiadise ol God.

There was not a cloud f.P be seen in the welkin.

Carriages, gigs, barouches, cubs, buggies, sulkies, omnibus ses, coaches, and every sort of vehicle otv which contributions could l,c levied, were held in request. The excitement was In tense. Hundreds crossed the fields on foot. In the morning, long cavalcades of horse men could be seen turning up the streets leading to the kourse. The w hole way to the field was a string of carriages and horse men enveloped in clouds of dust. The thtong at the entree was prodigious.—With all ;*:« order preserved by the gale keepers, it ivits almost impossible to gain admittance. Carriages were detained, some of them at least half an hour, and many more, before they could enter. The stands were jammed.
