Of llie other two obligulions some ZplitnAiion in neceaMry, und the pecuiiat idem inculcHtcd by the prie( in reArd to their breach and obser vnce, will, perbnps, prove BOVpl nnd Hl.iriling to the unaofdnslioited demecus of ihii world without, to whom Jesuitic! CARUtatry And doctrine are unknown studies. A rthguese. or Binter, is bound by her "rule" not to touch the Inind ul num. not even of her father, brother, confessor, or any prieat; but murk the distinction ho'ild one of tin- kl nu nlioiied cIubs, especially a priet ol St. Lsttre, Uke h( r hand, with a lintever intviilion, he must not wuhdraw it. Her vow of obedience hiis Muprtmacy ovi r all olh.TH. Again: a sister in required by her vow of chastity not to look a man in 'lie f.t'T, not to nu.-e bet OTwl when opeaking to, or a Idie s by ihe K.ilh 1 r .Superior, her Confesnor. or an) 0 btr priest, not to ptrmit her thtiuihiA to dwell uion any of ihe other aex. If she urek litis rule for though" will kOBieiimis b eak over the prekCll bed bounds especial), with regard to a priest, bhc is commanded by tin 1 rules to acquaint lum and the Superior with her I mil, und request N change of place. But mark the diotinciinn AgMtn if her Confer or, the Stipeiior. or nnv other L irist, orders her to think favorably of litem, ahe is com d in m doing, for she proves herIM If ohedient. I would here solicit tbe earnest Attention of the candid mid honest reit tier lo tiie di ibolicnl crnft And cunning thsp'.ayed. If 11 poling girl in thoughtK siy betrnyed into an infr iciion ol (be rules just mentioned, and discloser her errors required, the piest so in formed, can either lake Advantage ol ( her confesbion or tot, as he mny feel ; inclined, or at his judgement of the character of the otiendiug Muter in i determine. SoBBttllBMAI policy may induct: him to express a holy horror ol ' lie offense, lor iht) saku ol x iking gds own KHOctity; espcciall) if he entertain 111 Aversion to the penitent, or mat deem tier an unsuitable subject for hischemes. On ilie other band, should their own w il desires induce them U plan the moral destruction of a s'sN r how great an udvantage lin y j usm-m-lor ita accompli, hment by this doctrtm of passive and meritorious obedience' To be plain, the whole mailer amounilo this: the sisters are laugh t thatiheii Vow of obedience iupreme that the 1 Apt essed will of the Superior must b regarded us ihe voice 1 1 God; and thai if the vow of charity is violated by lly will of those txercining authority ovi 1 them, no nincan be imputed to thero. because, tbey Are iloinij right by pre Mfrriag inviolate the vow ot obedienco. As the result of these pernicious and demoralizing doctrines, a lament able state of tilings I grieve to say ex isted nmong a portion of the cominu nuy. It was tome time, so little suspicion of the truth was entertained, heforf I understood or appreciated tin symptoms of the inaladv ragitiv: 1 ar und me. When ihe liidit dawned upon my mind, it was accompanied vvuii a shock as it of electricity. whi"i paralyzed ni" for the moment I utmost doubted the evidence of my sen ne b but with (be reaction was foirned the revolution lo escape tit all bagards. ouly itAitetiod toils execution by sub sequent events.

Tho power conferred upon tho "rev j erend fathers" by the Popish doctrine 1 of confession, aflords them great facil-

i ii-s to accomplish their purposes.

The utmost importance is given to a strict and punctual attendance at the confessional, which may be truly called the throne of ihe Catholic ecclesiag tic, for, armed with the si If Assumed authority of Ood, in whose stead he officiates on earth to the Buppliaii' -l iven prostrated before him, he deals from thence the terrible anathema ol 1 In church, to the disobedient And refractory, dispenses his "ebsolulion" to ihe faithful and submissive and prescribes ihe ''penance" to be observed as an expiation for si Seated in tin confessional, he is empowered in virtue of his nrrogated position, to propound qin lies winch, liom the lips of others, would be deemed flagrant insults. Kneeling there, the vouog maiden an -tsrers questions calculated to eradicate every feeling of modesty woman's highest, charm and lays bare before the inquisitive search of hei "spiritual director" every incipient sensation, ever', impulse of her hu maniiy. II w easy, then, for an evil disposed confessor, stealthily toiniuse min the innocent and trusting heart, whose portal opens to his call, the ;. i ins ii new thoughts, whose irrowih cheiished by his da, It care, will soon (ill H wiih an impure And diseased vegetation of feeling and desires.

I il a matter for won der, then, that those "brought up" within the paleof the Catholic, Uhurch whose etery thought And feeling fron childhood lo maturity has been watched an I diiected by their "spiritual ,'uide," should yield themselves en tir. ly to his control, and even see no I afjgtf in their submissiveness, or evil .Men lions in Iiis assumed p iwer and sanctity?

My recollections of my noviciate at St. Joseph's will always be associated with contempt and abhorrence of those men. who use their advantages and :. tuition for the basest purposes, and with thankfulness for my escape from such i sidious snares. It was a con einpl ttionof the peril to which I was exposed, that first suggested lite idea ot . -scape at a'l hazirds. from the in'titution. I could have borne toil, pri1 iimn, and bodily ill treatment as the nsequer.ee of mv own rashness and impetuosity of feeling, but the future wore too dark and terrible An aspect or nte to resign myself with quietness IB risk its evil. It was not mere suspicion, vague conjecture or fslse interpretation of signs, looks, incidents, or language, that induced my determinAion. Although the c mversation And tction of individual members of the Tommnnity, the secret mysteries of the con'ess'nMial, and other circumstances which I h.tve not related because I cannot speak with sufficient knowledge if their import were ample evidence, 10 my owfl j idgment, of ihe alarming position I occupied, yet, as it may be nn!. tided by those interested tn con enling the truth, that my mental vision was distorted, and my prejudices too strong to admit of a calm, dispassionate, rational deduction from what I saw and heard, 1 feel most reluctinily comp, iled, torsecm these ob j. ctions, to siae an incident concern 1. g which there can be no misconception .r false judgment. A priest who had been engaged in exercising his pasiural functions at St. Joseph's was about to leave the insti uiion, and, as is customary, the sisters were required to enter the room where he was sti.tiooed and Ask a blessing at his hands, previous to his Uparture. When my turn came, 1 w nt in, wnli downcast eyes and clasp. d hands as enjoined, and knelt to re t'tite the expected benediction. But instead ol the pressure of his hand up ai my bead, I felt ihe impression of a k ss upon my forehead. Sta. th d and confused by a sslutaiion so unexpect d and i iKppropri iUj, I Rtai;gerid to my feet, and ejaculated, almost uncon -ciously, ihe words, ' O FRlher!" But before I could recover my composure, seizing my wrist with his left hand and encircling my waist with hi right Arm, he drew me towards him. And imprint ed a kiss on my face before I was able o break from bis revolting embrace. Vel 1 Was compelled, from prudential lear of the consequences, to be silent respecting this insulting treatment. What could I do? to whom should I apply for redress and protection? If I had complained to ihe Mistress of Novices, or ihe Mother Superior, of the insolent outrage to which I had been subjected, I should lure been de

I nounced as a base calumniator of ihe I "Holy Father," And punished for the

Mr Editor: Many hate contended that Brookville was on the decline, and one argument tu prove this asser tion ia the number of famdies who moot ed from our midst to Beek homes in ihe far west. But let those who use this argument remember that in less than three months time the places of those who have left, have been supplied by new comers, who are men of character and business capacity, not inferior to those r ho left. For the last six months the business of our town has evidently improved, and 1 presume that doublethe Amount of dry eoods have been biought her and Bold the present season, ittat wen sold in the same length of lime last year. Cut there is a plan by which in the opinion of your correspondent, the business and prosperity of our town might be increased, and the num In r of its inhabitants augmented. But there are so many difficulties in tinway of Accomplishing the end pro posed, that I almost idispair of seeing it d i.e. That we have facilities for manufac luring a great many articles in this locality, need not be argued: all thai we want is capital to develop this hranch of business. Suppose out met chants could be induced to give up one or two branches of their business. and cease importing certain articles that could be manufactured in our town just as cheap, and better than the imported article can be procured, 1 refer lo the Boot. Shoe, stid Clothing business. In the Boot and Shoe business alone if they were manufactured lure ihe population and business of our town would be greatly increased. Suppose this branch of business which is heavy, was given into the hands of the manufrtciurcr; it would require, say not less than thirty hands to do the work need) 1 iiere, and in tin surrounding villages, say twenty ol these are men of families, who would, of course, seek a home among us, this would till up all our vacant houses, and create a demand for more. TIkm men would earn, on an average, eight dollars per week, this money would be spent here, and would not our nu r cliAiits make up t!.e loss they would sustain by An abandonment of the shoe trade in the increased amount of dry goods and groceries sold? Besides eM , it would give employment con standi- to Urn or a dozen women in shoe binding. The same may be said of tbe clothing business. If the clothing sohl, was manufactured here it would crette a demand for tailors, wh j would live And spend their money among us, and thus increase the population and business of our town. Our present policy has a tendency of driving from our midst our mechanics and laborers who are our consumers lo a great extent, while we are increasing the dry good business. Again we are having built up among us a Literary Institution, yet m its infancy, but which has already acquired 11 reputation and character abroad. Quite a number ol students from a distance are in attendance hi present, and we may teasonably suppose that tbe number will increase annually. There is no town in tbe state, more healthy than Brookville. This fact will attract 'he attention of parents, who are under the necessity of sending their children from heme for the purpose of educating them. Besides, we have a moral community, and twogood churches in eligible positions, wiiere gospel truth is dispensed every Sabbath day to attentive lislners. Shall ihis institution be sustained by our own citizens Is it not our duly, as well as our interests, And that of our children to rally to itr. support by contributing of our means for iu completion, and the furnishing die necessary apparatus, and by availing ourselves of the privilege of sending our children to il, and thus prepare them for respectability and usefulness in the world? It is plainly to be seen by t'.e pj .! common mind that just in proportion to the interest we lake as citizens in our College, in that proportion will it prosper. And the more Bludenls we can gel from a distance, the more will it add to our pecuniary interests. Bui this m itter ol dollars And cents is a minor consideration when we take into view the amount of good we are accomplishing in training minds for posts of repeciibility and usefulness in our great and growing state. But will our ci.iztns rally around this institution and sustain it? Will we as a band of brothers belonging to the great family of mAn, throw away our jeaousiiei prtjudicitt and $tlfihnett, both political and rtMgiout, and labor unitely for the general good. My God hasten the day! VINDEX. May Ü, 1866. Sekstblb Talk. In this age of enligblment there is very little excuse for farmers to be ignorant of ihe nature of the soil they cultivate and ihe proper manure for it, the demands of the different grains and routs and their natural rotation. The thrifty farmer will not embarrass himself by tbo purchase of adjoining land, when his sheep need shelter And his grain rots in the stack, nor yet when bis fences are not staked and ridered, nor his own a I ode commodious, comfortable and home like.

a Agricultural Babbl s. Whoever is familiar with the a'Ti cultural history of the last half-cen I r tury knows how to laugh well at tincredulity ol poor human nature. A we recall those feverish speculations m Merino sheep, in Rohan potatoes, in M rut multeauU9, in Sit angine hens, and in various other plausibilities bi -tfhiuh, during successive years, tin"uu. versal gulled, wu Yankee nation" has been are convinced ibat "the eaith haih bubbles as the water h uh. and thtse were of ihem!" But, unfortunately, Ilvese are not all of them. The last agricultural bubbh baa but jusl burst when we find another expanding before us in the shape o an cXotiu esculent of marvelous repute Forgetting the aid experienced of tin past, our ears and our purses are c piv it '.l by the CAptivatiug story of a Ditoteorta batata. Yet we ougbt to bo wiser now than ever before, foi there is everything in the agricultural experiences to which we have allu led calculated to ins'ruct an I benefit all those gentlemen who till th Bsoil whether they till for thu fun ol it M for ihe fruit of it. If lin y will onl remember the p .st they will act ptudently in ihe present. The Batata fever, which is just beginning to spread ia our nil il distrie! calls to mind thu extraordinary Merino. -sheep fever which made nur fathers crazy, and which ought to warn us children against nil similar epidemics Il first broke oul in 1815. In tin Summer of tliAt year a half-dozen sheep from AudalusiA, in Spain, were imported into Boston. They were immediately invested with a mvsten.nicHArAder. Il was said thai their ll 1 ceB were of the finest texture, and that the introduction of the breed into this country would enable out woolen man ufactories, then in their infancy, to produce broadcloth that would compete successful y.with the finest European fabrics. Our farmers be came ex cited Henry Clay was consulted, and he immediately gave the opinion ihat these tlieep were exactly what was required lo enrich both our Ifffv aulturisut and our manufacturer. The 111 mia spread itself rapidly. The biz sheep at Boston sold for fifty dollars each; they cost, in Spain, about om dollar. This marvelous profit fanned the flame of speculation, and it was not long bef ore a fleet set sail from (Mil shores in pursuit of (lie golden feeee of Andalusia. In December, )8lt. there were one thousand merino sheep in the United Slates, which were valued at twelve hundred dol'ars th. head. In 1817 the importation and the value increased. In the Summer of (hat year select ewes were sold in New-England at fifteen hundred dollars, nnd bucks at two thousand! 13 the close of 1817 the speculation in New-England began to decline mi account of the excessive importation; but it increased rapidly in the Weitern and S nithwestern States, an I particularlt in Kentucky in consequence ol Mr. Clay's opiumns. It is narrated thai in August, 1817, Pamuel Long, boob tractor, living near Ashland, paid eight thousand dollars for a ine iiim buck and ewe; and he help ed that Inhad secured a fortune by the purchase! Some of the oldest inhabitants mat remember Samuel Trotler, who resi ded at that time in Lexington, repu ( the wealthiest man in Kentucky, and the controlling manager of the Branch of the United Slates Bank a merino buck and Biff l! e owned winch Lonv: wa anxious to buy. l roll r om-red to give Long the merinos if he would build for him a certain house upon . certain site. Tbe offer was asceptt-d At an expense of about fifteen thousand dollars, Long built, and finished a four story brick house, about, tili) feet by seventy, and delivered it to Trotter for the two merino sheep! In six months fmn that lime the value ol the merinos had fallen to twenty dollars. Long kept them until tin y had fAllen to the value of other sheep, when he killed them, made a fe st of Uncostly mutton, summoned his frien Is, and, like the ruined Venetian, '.hanked God that he was not worth a ducat! He died soon after of a broken heart; a did many ot! ers who bad suffer- I from this extraordinary merino man u But the Hohanpotatoe mania, which seized upon our farmers twenty vuare ago eines a IM, nearer in character to the Batata species of epidemics. The Rohan originated tin the Swiss border of Frmce. 'Ihe first account we have of it is in a letter written by "Prince Charles de Kohan," Geneva. April 24, 1 834, and published in the French agricultural journals of thai period. Rohan stated thai In- had in his possession two of these remarkable potatoes, which the "exclusive ama teur," who had raised them from seed. "under lock and key," had given him in exchange for some varieties of the cactus, which MB greatly desired.' j Rohan published startling stoileHol ÖT "s the chsracterof this po'ato. To givean idea of ils extraortlir.aiy productiveI mm nests, he says "a proprietor near m asked me lor tubers, and I gave BMMj one with four eyes, weighing less than half an ounce.

There is much truth and some poin' in the above little sketch.

Young men seldom give either of ihem that deliberation which is their due. The happiness of (he world ami hopes of futurity are connected with tin ir decision of adversity and infamy, and their attendant consequences. As tar as regards a profession, a man should never be too hasty in his determination. Almost every individual of the hu man family has a particular tAh-ni which, w in ii it is I rought into requi sition and applied to -some exclusi,, ohjt ct, caiinol fail to be attended with a commensurate success. But the m an who vain'y conceives thai he can succted in every thing, seldom Ikct mes e'nine-nt in any. It is an sb surd policy to begin a dozen projects together, or even 10 commence a sec ond before llie first has tuen rendered ma'ci ially successful. Franklin p rliculaily endeavored to convince young persons of the neces sjtj of forethought, integrity, and fru galitv in business.
