the secular papers, in the cheap qualities of good nature, good sense and veracity, far in advance of those which are printed avowedly for the promotion of the Christian religion; and of all the sacred emissions which we have had the misfortune to notice, we think The St. Louis Observer to be the most curiously unenlightened and the most miraculously illiterate. The Observer is the organ of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church--a considerable society, numbering many professors in Kentucky, Indiana and Missouri. It was this Cumberland Presbyterian Church which, when its treasurer died a defaulter, sold his negroes upon an execution, and then voted the money to the cause of missions! Upon this pious vendue The Tribune made a few comments which have not met with the approbation of The St. Louis Observer, we are sorry to say; which lave, in fact, excited the choler of that meek and lowly publication to a degree quite incompatible with coherence.

cally and zoologically good! It is then emphatically stated by the gentle Bird that we deserve to be skinned with a hackle, and smeared with aqua-fortis. Probably. And yet it would be painful. We are thankful, therefore, when The Observer of St. Louis — we were at first fearful that Brother Bird would be here immediately with the necessary implement and fluid — we are thankful, we say, when The Observer had the goodness to observe: But we forbear! Only he doesn't forbear. He immediately cae duty of a church, he is sustained by the Apostle Paul! We know that it is a vain wish, but would. that we could see the Great Missionary to the Gentiles and the Reverend Milton Bird face to face for a few moments! We can fancy the Saint of St. Louis opening his pocket-testament and airing a little text from Ephesians, another small scrap from Romans, another small scrap from Colossians, a fourth bit from Timothy and a morsel from Peter: but no mortal mind can conceive the terror of the reb

luxuriate to fatness — if laughing will make one fat-upon the extraordinary literary performance of the Reverend Milton Bird, who is jealous of other birds, and declares, that our article was manufactured at the suggestion of some buzzard about Evansville. The actual expression of the Rev. M. B. is coarser than this, but as we only print a secular newspaper, we cannot afford to be as free in our speech as a Cumberland Presbyterian when he denounces what he calls the intermeddling of ungodly men fearful that Brother Bird would be here immediately with the necessary implement and fluid — we are thankful, we say, when The Observer had the goodness to observe: But we forbear! Only he doesn't forbear. He immediately calls somebody in Evansville, Ind., a pole-cat. Also a buzzard. Likewise a cynic. And to conclude, yellow-eyed. A cynical polecat crossed upon a yellow-eyed buzzard, would produce a treasure indeed for a meandering menagerie. The Reverend Milton Bird, after these trifl

The Rev. Bird has evidently a very high idea, if not of e theme of good men's prayers, but if the Reverend Milton Bird will be kind enough not to pray for uuch obliged, but more comfortable.

A cynical polecat crossed upon a yellow-eyed buzzard, would produce a treasure indeed for a meandering menagerie. The Reverend Milton Bird, after these trifling indulgences in epithet, grows ‘umble after the manner of Mr. Uriah Heep; for, crooking the hinges of his knees, he expresses himself piously, as follows: We trust in God to keep us humble, and give us a spirit of forbearance and kindness towards those who injure us. We say Amen! The Rev. Bird has evidently a very high idea, if not of the goodness, at least of the omnipotence of the Creator. Meanwhile, the humility not having arrived, the Bird continues to be slightly abusive and boldly figurative in its song. We are told that The Indiana American and and

Poor praters, they know not of what — coarse, unen-lightened gabblers of sublime teachings, very dear to the heart of humanity — polluting with the unsavory messes of social shame and sin the golden vessels of the altar — making the Father's house a house of merchandize and a, den of thieves — encouraging mockery, exciting skepticism and confirming unbelief --narrow, without pity, and zealous, without brains; there is nothing for it, but to leave them to the bitter laughter of the satirist and the unspeakable commiseration of the wise. Grace may indeed supply the deficiencies of the mere intellect, while the heart remains tender; but what grace can rescue him whose heart grows hard as his head grows soft, and who increases in selfishness as he decreases in intelligence?
