BY THOS. BABINGT02* MACAULAT.
The P- grim'w Pf. gresa stole silently into the
urld. Nul a single copy ot the first edition is
known lo he in existence. Tbe year ot publication has not been ascertained. It is probable that,
during some months, the litlle volume circulat-d
ouly among pour aud i-bscure sectaries. But soon
he irreHfctible cba m of a book which grutfied
b in agination of the reader with all the action
tud scenery of a fairy tale, which eiercisi-d hit-
ugeuuity by Betting him to discover a multitude
of curious anali gies, wbicb irlere«ted teelings for
human beingB, (iail like himself, and struggling
with temptations from within and fiom without,
which every moment dveW a .-mile Irom him-by a
stroke ol quaint yet simple pleasantry, and never-
ibelest; left on liis mind a sentiment of reverence
lor God and of sympathy for man, began to produce its effect. Iu Puiitanical circles, from wbiib
plays and novels were strictly excluded, that elect was such as no work of genius, though it
were superior to the Iliad, to Dou Quixotte, or tn
Othello, cau ever produce on a mind accustomed
to literary .uxury. In 1668 came lorth a secoud
edition with additions ; and iben the demand became immense. In the lour fo'low'mg jean lbe
bi>ok was reprinted six times. Tbe eighth edition-
which contttiDB the last improvements Inade by
the author, was published in 1682, the 9lh in
1684. aud the tenib in 1685. The help ot lbe engraver had early been called in ; and tens ol
thousands of children looked with terror and delight on execrable c pper plates, whieh represent
■d Christian thurstiug bis sword int'- Apollyon.
or writhing iu the grasp of Giant Despair tn
Scotland; and in some of the colonies, the Fil
grim was even more popular than in his native
country. Bunyan baf told us. with very pardonable \ anity, that in NeW England hie dre m was
the daily sutgect of the conversation of ihousands.
and was thought worthy to appear in the most,
superb binding. He had numerous admirers in
Holland, and among the Hugenots ot France.
Wilh the pleasure, howeyer, he experienced sown-
ot the pains ot eminence* Knavish 'booksellers
put fi rth fulumes ot tr.ish under his «ame, and
ious scribblers maintained it to be impossible
that the poor ignorant tiiiker should be tbe au
tlior o! the bock which was cal ed his.
Bunyan's place in society was very different
from what it had been There had beeH a time
when dissent ng minsters, who could talk Latin
and read Greek, had afleefed to treat him wilh
scorn. Bu bis tame and influence now far ex-
ceed^'d theirs.' He had so great authority among
the Baptists, that be was popularly called Bishop
Bunyan. His episcopal visitaii' us were annual-
From Bedford he rode every year to Loudon, and
preached there to large and attentive congrega
tions. From London he Went hib circuit through

have gi+'en him but little t-onhle. fiul Ihere is
fetPon to believe that, in the year 1685, be was
in som" danger of again occupying his o'd quar-
lets in Bedfoid jail. In that year the rash and
wicki'd enlerprise ol Moniftoutb gave tbe government a pr* text for prosecuting tbe Nonconform-
isis; and st arcely one eminent divine of the Independent. Presbyterian, or Baptist persuasion
remained Unmolested. B xter was in prison;
Howe was driven into exile ; Henry wasarrested.
Two i£»ii)<ut Baptisf. '*ilh whom Bunyan had
beeu engaged iri controversy, were in great pelil
and distress. Danvers Was in danger of being
hanged f and Kiffin's grandsons we?e actually
hanged. The tradition is. that, during those evil
dnys. Bunyan was lorced to disguise himsell us a
wag'ner. and that he Jirenched t< his congregation at Bedford in a smock frock, with a ear?
wh;p in his hand. Bttt soon a grent ihange took
place. JameslI was at open war with thechorcb.
and tound it necessary to court the dis-enlers.
Some ot Phe creatures of government tried to1 secure the aid of Bunyan. They probata*'y knew
that he bafl written in favor of lhe indulgence o'
1672, and therefore bopeiJthat he m;gbt be equally
phased witb tbe indulgence of 1687 But ttl'teen
vears of ihougbt, observat on, and cotinttefte wMfi
the world had made him wiser. N r were the
cases exactly parallel. Charles was a professed
Protestant ; James waB a professed i'apist. The
object of Charles' indulgence was disguised ; the
object ot JaimV indulgence waB patent. Buuyan
was not deceived. He exhorted his bearers to-
prepare tiitmaelvw by latt_Bg nudprajer lor the
danger which menaced their civil and religious
liberties, and refused even lospeafc to the com tier
who came down to remodel the corpoiation of
Bedford, and who, as was supposed, had it in
charge to ofier some municipal dignity to the
Bishop ol the Baptists.
Bunyan did not live to see the re?olution. In
the summer of 168S he undertook to plead the
Cause of a son with an angry father, and at length
prevailed on- the old man not to disinherit the
young one. ThiB good work cost the benevolent
Intercessor bis life, He bad to fide tf rough
heavy ruin. He came drenched to his lodgings
on Snow Hill, waa seized with a viol en l fever, and
died within a few days. He was buried in Bun-
bill Fields ; and the spot where he lies is still regarded by the nonconformists with a feeling which
seems scarcely in harmony with the sieru spirit of
the^r theology.
The fame of Bunyan during hisli!e, and during
the century whicb followed his death, was Indeed
great, but was almost entirely confined to reli
gious families of the middle and lower classes.
Very seldom was he during that lime mentioned
with respect by any writer of great literary emi.
nence. Young coupled his prose with the poetry
oftbe wretched D'Urfey. In the spiiituul Quixotte, tbe adventures of Christian are ranked with
those of Jack the Giani Killer aud Johu Hicka
thrift, Cowper ventured to praise the great site
gorist. but did not ventured tc name liim. It is
a significant circumstance that, till a receDt period, all the numerous editions of the Pilgrim's
Progress were evidently meant fur the cottage
and servant's ha'l. Tbe paper, the printing, the
plates, were all of the meanest description. In
genetal, when the educated minority and the common people differ abodl the merit of a book, the
opinion of the educated minority finally prevails.
ThePilgrim'i Progress is perhaps ihe only book
about wbich. alter the lapse of a hundred year;..

and to imitate tnis book are uot to be nUmbered-
It baB been done Kito verse j it has been done into
modern English. But the peculiar glory of Bun
yan is that ihose wbo most hated his doctrines
have tried to borrow tbe help of his genius. A
Catholic version of his parable may be seen with
the b*ad of the Virgin iu the tiile-pnge. Gut the
most extiaordiuary ot all the acts of Vandalism
hy wbich a flne work of art w&s ever defaced was
committed as late as 1853. It was determined t
transform the Pilgrim's Progress into a 1 ructiciau
book. The task was uot easy ; for it was necessary o make the two sacraments the most promi-
ueut objects in the allegory ; and of all Christian
theologians, avowed QnakerB i-xeepted. Buntan
was the one in whose system the saeramento held
tbe least piominent place. However, tbe Wicket
Gate became a type of baptism, and the House
Beau ti Inl of Eucharist The eflect of this change
is such as assuredly the ingenious person who
made it never cotemplated ; lor. as uot a single
pilgrim passes through the Wicket Gate in infancy, and as Faithlul hurries past the House Beauti
ful without stopping, 'he lesson which the fable,
in its alleied <hape teaches, ts that uone hut adults
ought to be baptized, and that tbe Euchnrist may
safely be neglected. Nobody would have discovered from tbe original Pilgrim's Progress that the
author was not a Paedobaptist* To turn his bock
iii to a book against Ptedobaptism wasauachiev-
ment reserved for an Anglo Catholic divine. Such
blunders must necessarily be committed by every
man wbo mutilates parts of a great wotk, wilboul

Members all ot our profession,
Of oar noble, huge profession,
Noble iu its end and aiming?.
Huge, indeed, in its proportions,

I a bint or two should fling you,

How We quaffed the " laughing water,"
Water poured Irom long-necked phials,
Phials labelled—phials, corked well—
Corked—bnt uncorked very freely.
Causing langbter— bringing (dories,
Mingling stories with the laughter,
And tbe laught-r with lbe stories,
Separate  yet all together,
Altogether—yet divided ;
Many more things I might tell yon,-
Tell you other things and sundry,
How unto the same said laughter
Echoing rung each jolly rafier
Ofthe rout—of this—' hereafter!"

Battle of San Jacinto.
April 21,1857. was the twenty-first anniversary'
of the battle of Sau Jaciuto. The San Fraocisco'
('hromc/e traces tbe most momentous event*
which have occurred in the history of our country
to the issue of that Saemoiable WRtfe; we give aa
extract:—
" Sauta -£nna at the head of his triumphant legions was driving all things before him. Terror
spread throughout all Texas. Its Government in
a panic moved its location. Houston1 expecting'
and awaiting reinforcements in ya'u, had'retreated day by day betore the flushed forces of Santa
^nna. 'rom the Brazos to; the vei'y banks of Galveston Bay, and San Jacinto river. Here h*
turned at bay ; bere the independence of Texas
had to be won or lost. His setfen hundred encamped within cannon shot of fourteen hundred1
veterans under Saota Anna, iecreased by four
hundred and fifty uuder Gen. Co? on the Morning
of the battle, Two of Houston's junior officers,
■-'i the council of war. were for attacking ; their
foui seniors opposed it. Houston ascertained that
thi; array was for the attack, and he determined
to make it. Tbe details of that bloody fight have
never beeu written—they cannot be. After the
first charge, it wa8 a hand-to-band tight, like the
third charge of the British at Bunker's Hill, but
with the difference, tbat at San Jaciijto the bayonets wer* routed by those who had,none. Fifteen
minutes decided the battle—all the rest of the
flight was a slaughter, in which the cry of, ''Remember the Alamo!" rose above tbe crack of the
rifle aud the cry for mercy.
This, battle was tbe turning point in Texas history. It secured her independence, it led to her ,
annexation to the United States; it led also to
the war with Mexico, the battles of Palo Alto,
R'-saca de la I'alma, Monterey, Eueua Vista, Vera
< niz, Cerro Gordo, Cherubusco, Cbapultepec,
Molino del Hey, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, aud all
the others which accompanied that short but decisive Contest. It was the turning point which
gave us Texas, New Mexico, Cali'ornia, Utah and
the Gadsden Purchase ; a territory of one million
square miles, almost one-third of the present entire territory of the Union, snd more than one.
half of what had comprised tbe possessions of
Mexico. It inaugurated the filibuster movement,
of which Aaron Burr was the pioneer and gave a
permanency to that sentiment now so absorbing
in the American miud, which will never rest satisfied till the entire Empire of Montezuma, the'
V ce-Royulty of Cortes, shall know no national
emblem but that of the Stars and Stripes. All
this, with all the othef vast and innumerable consequences aud eveuts relative thereto, were decided twenty-one years ago by seven hun Ired
men on the plains of Ssfn Jacinto. Had that battle been decided otherwise, tfcruston and Rusk
might have long ago mingled with the dust of
that bloody battle-fleM, instead of sitting now
within the Senate chamber at Washington ; the
Mexican f'rnntiers might still have been at the'
Sabine,- the Eed River atfd forty-second parallel j
and the gold ol California might still bave rested

" A woman is always at the bottom of trouble."
You remember the Shah of Persia. Wben ho was
told fhat a workman bad fallen from a ladder, he
called out " V/bo is she 1 Who is she V " Please
your majesty, 'tis a Ae." '" Nonsense 1" said the
-hah, "there was uever au accident without a.
woman ; who is she?" The Shah was right: the
man had fallen from his ladder by looking at a
woman in a window. Mauy a man does this in-

There are many inconsistencies in civilized society. A dog is accounted mad when be won't

It has been shrewdly remarked tbat what persons are by starts, liny are by nature. You see
