A CAMP-MEETING IN THE WST. None, bul one who has seen, can im agine the interest excited in a district of a country, perhaps fifty miles in extent, by theaAVaitedj approach of the time for a Camp-Meeirig ; and none, but one , who has seen, can imagineJiow profoundly the -preachers have understood, what produces etlect, and hpw well they: have practised upon it. - Suppose the scene to be, where the- most extensive excitements and most frequent Camp-Meetings have been during the past two years, in one of the beautiful andfertile valleys among the mountains of Tennessee. The notice has been Cir culated tw lor three months. On the ap pointed day, coaches, chaises, wagons, carts, peoplejon horseback, and multitudes travelling from a distance on foot, wagons with provisions, mattresses, tents, and ar rangements for the stay of a week, arc seen hurrying from every point towards the centra spot. It is in the midst of a grove of those beautiful and lofty trees, natural tolje vallies of Tennessee, in its deepest verdure, and beside a "spring branch, for tjhe requisitesupply ot water. Thcarmijtious' and wealthy are there, because iiltjliis region opinion is all pow erful ; andfthey are there, either to extend their influence, or that their absence may not bo notek , to diminish it. Aspirants for office; are lierp. to electioneer and gain popularity.! Vast numbers are there from simple curj sity, and merely to enjoy a spectacle. The young and the beautiful are therewith mixed motives which it were, best jhot severely to scrutinize. Children are there, their voung eyes glis tening with! the intense interest of eager curiosity. The middle aged fathers and mothers of families are there, with the so ber views of people whose plans of life are fixed, ahd waiting calmly to hear. Meni and women of hoary heads are there, with such thoughts, it may be hoped, as their years, fiiyite. Such is the congrega tion consisting of thousands. A hctpf Jpreachers of different denom inations far there, some in the earnest vigor-aiid afpiringdesires of youth, wait ing an opportunity for display I; others, who have proclaimed the gospel as pil grims of thefCross, from the remotest north of our vast country to the shores of the Mexican gdlf, and ready to utterthe words, the feelingl and the experience, which they have jtreasured up in a travelling ministry offitty years, and whose accents, trembling 'ith age, still more impressive ly than their, words 'announce that luey will soon ravel, and preach no more on ea rt h , are fie re.; Such are the preach e rs.

Such are the scenes! the associations, and such the influence of external things upon a nature so " fearfully and wonderfully " constituted as ours, that little eflort is ne ccssarv on such a theme as religion,urged at such a place, under such circumstances to fill the heart and the eyes. The hoary orator talks of God, of eternity, a judg- meat to come, and all that is impressive bejond. He speaks of his " expejriences," his tojls and travels, his persecOjiens and welcomes, and bow many he hqs een in hope, in peace and triumph, gathered to their Fathers ; and when he speaks of the short space that remains to hirrij his only regret is, that he "can no more jproclaim, in the silence of death, the mere: es of his crucified Redeemer. j There is no need of the studied trick of oratory, to produce in such a jplace the deepest movements of the heart. No wonder, as the spealTer pauses to dash the gathering moisture from his own eye, that his audience are dissolved in , tears, or ut tering the exclamations of penitence. Nor is it cause for admiration, that manv who poised themselves on an estimation. of higher intellect, and a nobler insensi bility than the crowd, catch the infectious feeling, and become women anl children in their turn ; and though they j" come to mock, remain to pray."

It contains truth that will be responded to by every one : 1 One of the grossest neglect$ of youth, producing incalculable mischief and ruin, is the improper spending of ei'enings. -Darkness was created for quiets ; home is the place of quiet. Darkness is tempta tion to misconduct ; suffering the young . i -1 i i i ' . to De oui ynen tne lignt oi aay uoes not restrain them from misconduct is training them to it. We have already an abun dant harvest of this seeding. Riots, mobs, crimes, giving fearful forebodings, are the result of vouth becoming: fit lasrents of outrage by running uncared for on even ings. What we see in these jrespects is deplorable enough ; but what is this com pared with what we do not see multi-' tudes making themselves miserable and noxious in this world, and what in that to come ? 44 Parents should look at thMrfh that evening pleasures ana recreations are oi ten dearly purchased ; thepricetheirown impaired comfort, and the blihted pros pects rtheir offspring. It niust be ob4 vious that in this matter therdi can be nd prescribed rule. There can be no interl diet of all evening recreatiois aud Cm ploymenfs ; yet here is an eyil not only destructive to youth, but planting thorns iri many paths, and covering many lives with desolation. The reformation demanded must proceed from judgment and con science, and for this pqrpose judgment anc) conscience must be enlightened. Heads of fatnilies must learn that the place on earth! best adapted to be a ! blessing is Iwholesomfe home; and by example and restraint they must teach this truth to all under them. Especially should home du ring Sabbath hours be consecrated. Sahj bath mornings and eveningsfare blessed indeed when they gather thef family into the circle of converse and instruction; and parents and children, masters and ap prenticesand servants, in the presence and by the grace of God wh has made them in their respective stations, rai$e themselves to the exalted leve of the truth that they are invested with capacity and obligation in their respective conditions, assigned them by an all-wise! jProvidence, to help each other onward to honor, glory, andimmortality eternal lile.j Souls per ish in everlasting death ; they perish through neglect.

We no ticed soriie time since, says the Baltimore Sun, an invention by Mr. Coleman, bro ther of tljie inventor of the Eolian attach ment, by means of which an engine can ascend and descend an inclined plane at nearly the! same speed it can propel itself and train along a level road. The Phila delphia jliedger says it was exhibited at the Exchange, in that city, on Tuesday, to a large jvumber of gentlemen. A minia ture loepmotive in which the steam was raised by burning spirits of wine, hauld two car$, on which a man weighing near ly 200 pbunds was mounted, up an inclin ed p)ane with an ascent of one foot in six, with the greatest ease and rapidity.

It has been deci ded by Judge Nelson as, we learn from a communication in the National Intelligen cer, that if j the proprietor of a new.mven tion sells even one of his articles, before he has taken out his patent, he thereby lo ses his exclusive claim; the sale is held to be an abandonment of the invention to the public.) This is a new decision the opposite doctrine having been heretofore held at the Patent Office. The case in which the law was declared by Judge Nel son was that of Wilson vs. Packaru Baltimore Patriot. Most Unfortunate.

Since then he has been purchasing things to make another start, and we understand they were all consumed on Tuesday last. The Beauties of Racing. The N.
