LETTERS FROM TlHT SOUTH.
44 In return for the interesting in
formation conveyed in your letters,
you ask rne more questions than I
can answer in six months. One of
these has diverted me so much, that
in pure gratitude for the amusement
1 1 afforded, r will take it in hand forth
with. I am sure aunt Kate put it into
your ise headTYotisTrne, serious
ly, if there are-any churches in this
part, of the world : and whether peo
ple ever go tct church here, excem
when they are carried to be buried ?
I di
u not mention to you my stop
ping the Sunday before last at a
ramoimg village, where I was smit
ten with the sight of a little church,
for the purpose of attending the ser
vice. . I generally keep these things'
to myself, for t think that a ma. who
talks always about his religion, is
pretty much on a pr with one who
does the same of his honesty. 1
would'nt trust either quite as far as
I could see him. But, I will now an
swer your, question by telling you all
aoout it. r
' . "i Yo1 must now, -that after ril
ding about a. dozen miles before
breakfast one Sunday morning, we
came to a village, at the end of which:
there was a little n-at stone church,
almost buried in a wood of lofty
baks under which there was a green
lawn without any underwo'ad . It
reminded me of an old familiar
scene of early days, arid also of a
great duty; and after breakfast we
we went with otir good landlady to
church. The pew was close by an
open 'window, out )f -which you
could see, through the opening trees,
a little clear river. 1 Farther on, a
l)road expanse of greeii meadow

we do not make the comparison r im -sciously,

loy it from a conviction of its divine
.origin, the attempt wpuld deserved,
