When Paine was writing his famous at-
tacks on the Christian religion, he submit-
ted a part of his manuscript to Dr. Frank-
lin, for his inspection and opinion. The fol-
lowing is the answer of that great philoso-
pher and patriot:
Dear Sir :—I have read your manuscript
with some ;
contains against a particular Providence,
you strke at the foundation of all religion.
For without the belief of a Providence that
takes cognizance of, guards, and guides,
and favors particular persons, there is no
motive to worship a Deity, to fear its dis-
pleasure, or to pay for its protection. I
will not enter into any discussion of your
principles though you seem to desire it.—
At present, I shall only give my opinion
that, though your reasons are subtle, and
may prevail with some readers, you will
not succeed so as to change the general
sentiment of mankind on the subject, and

passes by Alessandria, and increases the
strategic importance of that place.”
Of the fortified towns the following are
some particulars :
“ Alessandria is united to the great line
of Lombardy by embranchments on Vercelli
and Novara. Another embranchment, des-
tined to unite the right bank of the Po to
to the Piedmontese line, only goes as far
as Stradella. Of all the fortified places,
such as Ivrea, Genoa and Alessandria ; the
last two only possess importance ; the oth-
ers cannot offer any serious resistance.—
Austria, preparing her domination in Italy,
caused at one time Alessandria to be dis-
mantled, because it was the only strategic
position which could be opposed to Verona
and Mantua. Genoa, by the defense of
which Massena obtained celebrity, will play
an -important part in the war as the basis
of operations of the French army ; with
Alessandria it closes against the Austrians
the road to Nice. From the telegraphic ac-
counts received u]
that the invasion of the Austrians has been
directed on the wide plain of the Po, where
they expect to have a marked superiority
over their adversaries from their numerous
and excellent cavalry. Their march in
three columns may have been made in or-
der to deceive the enemy. This is particu-
larly the case as regards the right column,
the landing of which at Arona has been an-
nounced by telegraph, for the stores of a
corps d’armee cannot be carried by such
boats as are to be found on the Lago Mag-
giore.”

attention. By the argument it ed fear the afternoon boat wonld leave
him. A cabman lounging about the hotel
offered to take him and his trunk to the
wharf, and if he was too late he would
bring him back for nothing ; but if he took
him there in time for the boat he would ex-
pect a fee of $2. To. this the stranger was
about to agree, not knowing that he had at
least two hours and a half to spare, when
another cabman stepped up and offered to
put him aboard the boat, with his baggage
for $1. This was a dollar saved, and the
anxious stranger agreed to it. In less than
five minutes they were upon the wharf.—
The old gent, got out, and handed Jehu the
dollar.
“ What’s this ’ere dollar for ?” asked the
driver.
“ To pay my fare down here ; yon prom-
ised to bring me here before the boat left
for cne dollar.”
“Y-e-s—now, look here' old feller ; you
don’t think i’m going to drive my horse to
death for nothin’ do you ? Couldn’t think
of taking less than four dollars for that’ere
drive, and you might as well fork over, old
man.”
The old gentleman, apparently not the
least angry, fastened his dull, gray eye up-
on Jehu, and calmly replied :
“ I agreed to pay you one dollar if you
would bring me and my trunk to the boat
before it left ; and there’s your money. If
I had promised you a hundred dollars, I
would have given it to you, for I’m able to
pay it. But a bargain is a bargain and I
want you to put my trunk out of your cab.’’
“ Give me the four dollars, or I takes the
trunk back to the hotel,” was the cabman’s
rejoinder.
The little old man quietly reached up to
the horse’s head, and took hold of the bit
firmly in his left hand. He then put his
right hand into his bosom and drew forth a
keen seven-inch bowie. He then turned to
the somewhat astonished cabman, and giv-
ing the knife two or three admonitory
shakes, after the manner of a schoolmaster
warning a refractory pupil, he said :
“ I’m an old man, and perhaps I’m green,
as I came from Arkansaw ; but I guess I
shant let you impose on me in that way.
If you don’t get off that seat and put my
trunk out here, I shall take both your ears
off smooth up to your head, sure I You’re
a good looking man now, but you’d look
mighty bad drivin’ a cab about and no ears
on your head.”
Jehu rather thought those eyes meant
fight, and not liking the idea of losing both
ears, he took that trunk out in a hurry.—
He refused, however, to take the dollar
which Arkansaw had thrown down, and a
couple of policemen were about arresting
him for extortion, when the old fellow re-
quested them to let him go. “As for the
dollar, gentlemen,” said be, “if the cabman
won’t take it wl
nearest grocery and spend it for the public forcibly led thrqugh it, whu
good.”
The old gentleman quietly put up his
“blade” and slipped aboard the boat.

SKETCH OF THE SEAT OF WAR.
—o—
The following topographical sketch of the
country now the seat of war, possesses a
certain interest at the present moment :
“ This country is shut in on the south,
west and north by the great chain of the
Alps and their ramifications, They form a
vast semicircle from the Col de Cadibone to
the north-west of Genoa, wjiere they join
the chain of the Apennines, crossing the
whole of the Italian peninsula. From Sa-
vona they extend, under the denomination
of the Maritime Alps, as far as Monte Viso;
of the Cotians, as far as Mont Cenis ; of the
Alpes Grees, to Mont Blanc ; and lastly, of
the Pennine Alps, as far as Mount St. Goth-
ard. These mountains are very steep on
the side of Piedmont, but less so toward
France. The Apennines, sending out some
ramifications to the north of the gulf of Ge-
noa, form with the counterforts of the Alps
a kind of promontory, which advances al-
most into the centre of Piedmont and skirts
thf whole length of the Po. The fine and
fertile valley, traversed by that river, is
wide in its upper part between Turin and
the Alps, but becomes narrow near the line
of Dora-Baltea, between Ivrea and Chivas-
so, to afterward widen again in the vast
and fertile plain of Piedmont. The princi-
pal affluents of the Po in Lombardy, are, on
the left bank, the Clusone ; the Dora-Ripa-
ria, which falls into the Po at Turin ; the
Stura, descending from Mount Viso ; the
Dora-Daltea, having on it the small fortified
town of Ivrea, the key of the road from Mi
lan to Turin ; the feesia, coming from Mon-
to Rosa and ending a short distance from
Casale ; and lastly, the Ticino, forming the
limit against Austrian Lombardy. The
9 principal affluent on the right bank is the
Tanaro, which, crossing the counterforts at
the junction of the Maritime Alps and Ap-
ennines, passes Alessandria and falls into
the Po at a short distance below the im-
portant place. This last named river pre-
sents a very singular spectacle ; the vege-
table earth and the sand brought down by
the torrents which come down from the
mountains, constantly fill up its bed, and
thus constantly threatening the surround-
ing country with inundation. In order to
guard against that danger, the people on
the banks have everywhere raised embank-
ments, which are increased as the river ris-
es, so that in some places the waters of the
Po run as high as the tops of the neighbor-
ing steeples. It is everywhere bordered by
lateral canals, and the water which filters
through the embankments renders the coun-
try near very marshy. The importance of
this river for the belligerent armies may be
readily understood.”
The means of communication may be thus
described ;
“ Fine roads have now replaced the nar-
row paths by which the French soldiers,
under their immortal chief, had to cross the
Alps half a century ago. They are these:
Commencing from the shore of the Mediter-
ranean, the road of La Corniche, which
runs along the Gulf of Genoa and branches tightened—the operator all the while
off by the Col de Tenda to Turin, and by
the passage of the Bochetta to Alessan-
dria the road of Mount Genevre from Bri-
ancon to Susa and Turin ; that of Mount
Cenis from Lyons by Chambery to Susa ;
and that which leads from Montmelian by
the Lesser Saint Bernard in the valley of
Aosta. The roads which lead from Lom-
bardy to Piedmont, are that which runs
from the interior of Austria by Verona to
Milan, crosses the Ticino atBuffalora, pass-
es by Nouara and Vercelli, and ends at Tu-
rin. It branches off near Brescia, and the
northern branch runs along the southern
points of the lakes of Garda, Isco, Como,
and Lago Maggiore, where it crosses the
Ticino on its leaving the lake, and leads by
Liella and Ivrea on the Dora»-Balten. We
must also mention the great road which,
starting from Rimini on the Adriatic and
running along the foot of the Apennines,
and crossing the Ducales of Modena and
Parma, reaches Piacenza, which the Aus-,
trians have taken so much pains to fortify,
as the possession of it sceures to them a
free communication with the two banks of
the Po.”
The railway communication is very easi- which, first tasting, he presents to thehun-
ly described :
“The Piedmontes railwaysconverge to-
ward the centres—Turin and Alessandria.
From the capital, they extend to the west
as far as Susa at the .foot of Mont Cenis, to
again join on the other side, near St. Jean
de Maurienne, the great French Mediterra-
nean line. To the east the railway reaches
by Vercelli ai
bardy line, which it joins at the bridge of
Buff ilora, on the Ticino. This is the bridge
which the Piedmontes have just burnt.—
The line which leads from Turin to Gettoa,
HENRY THORP,
p to this time, it appears d]e conseqUence of printing this piece will
be, a great deal of odium drawn upon your-
self, mischief to you, and no benefit to oth-
ers. He that spits against the wind spits
in his own face. But were you to succeed,
do you imaging any good w’ill be done by
it? You yourself may find it easy to lead
a virtuous life without the assistance af-
forded by religion ; You have a clear per-
ception of the advantages of virtue, and
the disadvantages of vice, and possess a
strength of resolution sufficient to enable
you to resist common temptations.
But think how great a portion of man-
kind consists of weak and ignorant men and
womej), and of inexperienced, inconsiderate
youth, of both sexes, who have need of the
motives of religion to restrain them from
vice, to support their virtue, and retain
them in the practice of it until it becomes
habitual, which is the great point for its se-
curity. And perhaps you are indebted to
her originality, that is, to your religious
education, for the habits of virtue upon
which you justly value yourself. You
might easily display your excellent talents
of reasoning upon a less hazardous subject,
and thereby obtain rank with our most dis-
tinguished authors. For among us, it is
not necessary, as among the Hottentots,
that a youth, to be raised into the company
of men, should prove his manhood by beat-
ing his mother. I would advise you, there-
fore, not to attempt unchaining the tiger
but to burn this piece before it is seen by
any other person, whereby you will save
yourself a great deal of mortification from
the enemies it may raise against you and
perhaps a good deal of regret and repent-
ance. If men are so wicked wit/i religion,
what would they be without it ? I intend
this letter itself as a proof of my friend-
ship, and therefore, add no profession to it;
but simply subscribe, yours.

Curious Facts in Natural History.—The
rattlesnake finds a superior foe in the deer
and the-black snake. Whenever a buck
discovers a rattlesnake in situation which
invites attack, he loses no time in prepar-
ing for battle. He makes up to within ten
or twelve feet of the snake—then leaps for-
ward and aims to sever the body of the
snake with his sharp bifurcated hoofs. The
first onset is most commonly successful,
but if otherwise, the buck repeats the trial
until he cuts the snake in twain. The ra-
pidity and fatality of his skillful manoeuvre
leave but a slight chance for its victim
either to escape or to inject his poison jnto
his more alert antagonist. The blacksnake
is also more than an equal competitor a-
gainst the rattlesnake. Such is its celeri-
ty of motion, not only in running, but in
entwining itself round its victim, that the
rattlesnake has no way of escaping from
its fatal embrace. When the black and
rattlesnakes are about to meet for battle,
the former dayts forward at the height of
speed, and strikes at the neck of the latter
with unerring certainty, leaving a foot or
two of the upper part of his own body at
liberty. In an instant he circles him with-
in five or six folds ; he then stops and
looks the strangled and gasping foe in the
face, to ascertain the effect produced upon
his corseted body. If he shows signs of
life, the coils are multiplied and the screws
nar-
rowly ■watching the countenance of the
helpless victim. Thus the two remain thir-
ty or forty minutes—the executioner then
slackens one coil, noticing at the same time
whether any signs of life appear ; if ao,
the coil, is resumed and retained until the
incarcerated wretch is completely dead.—
The moccasin snake is destroyed in the
same way.

Last evening, while yet .c was light,
there arose suddenly a violent wind, accorr-

few moments the whole horizon became
pitchy black, and the most vivid lightning
darted athwart the sky. A terrible thun-
der storm burst upon us. While yet it was
raging fearfully the sky suddenly appeared
unclouded in the east for a space several
inches in width. Many of our citizens dis-
covered, indistinctly at first, the rapid ap-
proach of an immense water-spout. The
phenomenon was so unusual that the atten- I
tion of hundreds were drawn to it. The ap-
pearance of the huge volume of water as it ;
reached from earth to sky—swaying to and
fro, like a rope hung in the wind—was ex- I
ceedingly grand. The water-spout remain- 4 1
