Inite tones, fecolo wich age, wo still hear the shiriil ery ered iunucence andthe deep voica of revenge. A short distauce beloir St. Regis, tho Tiver expands iuto the Lake of St. Francie. et we experience still another sensation, that of cumority. With the shores always mani- fest, wo can nover tell where the outlob is. Aud, an the Loat steers directly for the, to ue, oaly perceptible opemng in the rocis and forasts by which the Ieke is eurrounded, we feel gure that is the place, until. suddenly taking au entirel new iack, we are woing strught for other.

Now we 2re claso upou the Viilages of Lachine a0d Caughnawauga. This Iatter, with its jas- breaking Indien name, is interesting from the fact that from here is lauuched the bark canoe of old Baptiste, who, with his gray locks aud grar- er wisdom, comes to piiot our boat down the la xud most dangerous rapid. The channel of the Lachio is so narrow and intricate, the current 80 rapid, and the fall 80 great, that it seems im- poseible to gnide a Loai throughit. But so swiftly do we shoot clear of those seemingly-im- passabio rocks, fairly jumping the Luge waves, Zliai, ero we realize our danger, it is passed, and, with a backward glance over what we have beea tirough, with alast look at tho bleached timbers of the boat wrecked on the rock over wiach our own stcamer grated ominously, a shudder of zwe pasecs, with the feeling of re- lief, turough our beings.

This is built in the form of a perfect Groek crons, in tho round Roman arch etyle of architecture. 1t will be impossible, in a limited time, to give auy detailed desciiption of the decorations for which tlis cathedral is far-famed. These are oil-frescoes, repreacnting passages in the kdntory of our Lord. Outre in Gesign, they ann fine in exccution, snd weil worth a day’s strzdy. In St. Patric] just sbove the Courch of tho Jesu, the gorgeous dinplay of colors in the ch2ap decorations fair,y dazzlex the eyes of the buholder, and we turn in relief to the excee.lingly-plain walls of Notre Dame, the larg 25t cathedral in America. This bugo buildiog -3 260 fecr long by 140 broad, and capable of seating over 10,000 people. Two massive Lwin Coners, Hankig the frout, rise 220 feet; in the left one of which is a famous chimo of bells, ono of them weighing 15 tons. Trom the righ't tower we get a spiondid view of the city, the St. Lawrence, and_surroundivg ecenery, even as fot as tha Green Mountaios of Vernx M ontreal is indeed a city of churches, nearly all of which are worth at least a call ; but we miss the chool-buildings, 50 commou in tho Uoited States, of which Canada is slmost destizute. Secoud in, interest to the cathedrals is she deligatful DUIIVE AROUND THE MOUNTAIN. Entering vize of these tasty little cabs, we are drivou dovin the besutiful and moie modern Great St. James strect, past the 3lechavics’ lu- etitute, Wesleyan Church, Post-Ofiice, and five bank-buildings; thence, via Notre-Dame, past the Covrt-House,—s commonding pile of cat-gtows in tho Ionic etyle,—back of which we hase n fins viey of a military parado o the rad-coats on the Champ de Mara. On the winding road through the countrs, anound ing in beaunfal views, we notice numer- ous quder little Trench farm-houkes in tho nudst of fertile fields; comfortable homesteads cosily 1nestied iv buge parks, and surrounded by tho incvitavle high feuce; while quant jnne, bearin g soie fanciful sign of & pair of *Suow- Shocs,” a ** Great Bear,” cte., meet us at every turn.

Wo take it they do tuis business by tho job; therefore it must be dons on a8 week-dsy to be legal. The fantastic dress of the neavse-drivers and pall-bearers deserve a Ge- ecription, being (to me) grotesque in the ex- treme. They are attired in kuce-broeches, long white stockings, low shoes. shorl-ckirted coats, sad bigh bats, Their waists, hets, and arms, aze encircled by 2 broad Lund of wlute ciape, tho cn:ds of which nearly rezch the ground.

Everything 1s scruputously neat and neemingly comfortuble : but the entire lack of anitcation or chee: fuluees, the gloom, spreading liko a pall ovar all, makes us fesrful that the ubintentional presstre of our foot on some hid- den spring will launch us into Purgatory, and we sce the great doors close bohind us with relief that wo are safsly out.

That which most interests us, on our way down the river, is the | f timher. A number are grappled togethier, formiag a titanic institu- tion of a miie in length, each with its little ghed for the ruftsmen. and deco- rated with flags and streameis floatmg from the tops of lugh poles, which make a highlv pict- uresquo affair of it. On approaching Quebec, the round Martello towers on the Plains of Abraham first attract attoution;, then we come in full view of the defisnt battlements which crown the steep biuff, 340 feet above us. Aund, a3 wo slowly sail under the frowning cliffa, past Wolfe’s Covo and tho spot where Jountgomery feli; a8 wo climb tho steep bank and gase upon the massive wall inclosing this great city ; as we thread its narrow streets and wander over its for- tifications,—wa walk reverently, feeling that we 2re cu Lioly ground, every foot of wiich is sacred to history aud antiquity.” We stroil through the Governor's Garden, now neglected and forlorn, all overrun with -old-fashioned flowers, which etill pay their tribute of wild, tangled beauty and perfume to the memory of Wolfo and Montcalm, whose monument hero towers 80 feet above them. We saunter between the high. massive gramte walls, whose zizzag passages and namerons heavy gates tell ecach - a story of impenetrability; past tue magazines; over the moat, now dry, but whose mossy banka aad marshy bottom speaks of what has been; by the grim cannon which guard every turn.— on, on, until at last we reach the entrance to the fort, where an oficer in cocked bat, with long white plumn, receives us graciously, and passes us over to the care of a red-coated eoldier, who conducts un throngh- the fort, where we seo the various minitions of war, aud view the posi- tion of things from abore.

TIdeas of Various Nations Concerning the Devil, His Personal Attributes and IManifestations. . Descriptions of Hell and Its Inhabit- ants, Writers Who Have Dealt with These Subjects, Appearance of Satam. It may be possible that some timid souls, or some whose spiritual digestive organs are 80 weak that they capnot assimilato & sermon or sanything appearing to resemble oue, will b in- clined to pasa this article by, when they read the head-lines, from a mistaken idea of the view we have taken of the subject ; but we baateu to as- sure them that we do not proposs to deliver a sermon, or attack auy religious belief, our only object being in a familiar way to pick up and re- tail & fow scraps of information sbout His Satanic Majesty, and some of the notions which have been entertained of him. The belief in a supernatural evil power is as old s the history of 102y, and plays a prominent part oven i the roligion of the oldest races of Indis. At first, outside of the teachings of the Scriptures, the only conception was of BOME SHADOWY BEING, balf human, who exerted his powera intermit- tingly, and seemingly without purpose; but, as men began to realize their numerous failures and misfortunes, as they felt moro dseply the presence of ecwe stronger power thau them- eelves, the ovil spirit was endowed with new pro- portions; acquired in the minds of the numan race new some races the good and evil were blended, and united ip one deity ; by others tha Divine Beg was perfectly boly, the devil utterly depraved. As the human raco advanced, the attribates tormerly ascribed to one being were erected, if the torm msy be so used, into separate ex- istences, and man was said to Le governed by A MULTITCDE OF INVISIBLE SPIRITS who controlled his every action, and left him & wenk and paseive subject of others’ wills. This was no doubt a very zatisfactory belief, and made it immensely easy when soms uufortunate mortal bad done a wrong to conveniently shift it off on some imp, who was the cause of it. THE BUDDHISTS seem to havedrawn the ides out to the finest possible length. They Liad four classes of ewil spirits, some in the form of mao, others in the shape of birds, of beasts, fishes, vampires,— whatever they may Le,—snakes, dwarfs, and man-eating ogres. How they ever compiled a3 directory of them 80 as to throw on each particu- lar 1mp » particular giv, or whether the wholo four classes were indiscriminately held acconnt- able for every shortcoming of evers iuckleas sin- ner, bas not as yet been determmed. THE ART-LOVING GREEKS did not feel inclined to subject themselves to any such dire divioities, but mads their gods with suflicient imperfections to allow a sus- picion that they could sometimes be the insu- gators of crime, a4 well as the promotess of goodness. 1n fact, old Jove himself was a joily old fellow,—a kind of persoa with whom Wycher- ley, Congreve, snd Farquhar would bave been delighted to be acquainted. The Litans and Ate, bowever, appear to have been considered as ovil 8pirits by tho Greeks, and in later times a very convenient community of demons was invented, which, it is said, relieved Plato considerably when he was engaged in atiempting to ac- count for the origin of mn. Here sgain the burlen was thrown on the shoulders of the Atlas, like epirits of darknees, and even Horace would acknowledge that this is a koot which oulv a god conld untze. Although the ancient Hindoos appear, as above stated, to have preempted the feld, THE HEDREWS seem to bave turned their attention to the creation of devila, outsid of what the Scripturea tell. The Talmudists originated the infernal brood by saying that Eve was not Acam’s first love, but that, by = previous wife, named Lilis or Lilith, he had a whole family of devils. Goethe aleo, either resurrecting this unfortunste mother of wickedacss or creating another, 1otro- duces a Lilith in his Walpurgis night-scene in *+ Faust."

The detineation of her character, when the mainspriog of character—s eoul—is abaent, is ini bie. Like Fouque’s Un- dine, though without the delicate discrimination, is Drake's **Culprit Fay.” But above both, thongh with & greater approximation to humau- ity, is SHAKSTEARE'S * ARIEL.” Cortainly the great dramatist must have eagerly devoured all the talos of goblins and demons he conld obtain. lmagiue him, afier an uasuc- cessful poaching ~ excursion after some neighbor's bare, sitting down by roasdsido _and devouring _ Glaovil's ropriotatibus reram iugcriptum.” a black fil(lfl folio on the goneral history of devils ; or, when he was perbaps tormented by the blue devils himself consequent on a conjugal differ- ence of opinion between himself and his Aon, image him seeking consolation from 3folitor’s * Fractatus de Lamiis et Phitovicis Mulieribus,” an interestiog Lttle work on witches, iucanta- tions, anc caressing by tuo devil Think of Shakspeare's wondering if there was aay differ- ence betweon 8 careseing by tho devil and a combing of bis head with a three-logged stool by his wife. Possiblv, 38 a 4it preparation to writ- ing tbe witch scene 1o Macbeth, the Bard of Avon perused the Life of Cornelius Agrippa, =2 magician, said to contain some curious infor- mation about rasieg devils, notions of hell, de- mons, witcheraft, etc., or Martin Luther's Table Talk, contaiuing, 8s ié said, a mina of wealth on the subjects ot Lell, the devil, domouos, Purga- tory, witches, witchcraft, and similar pleasant subjects. Judgiog, however, from {he complaints ofton mede at the present time, & reprint of the Life of Agrippa would be useless, 33 so_much is al- ready known of the mode of rawming the devil generally that any further attempt at giving 1o- formaton would be, if not imposaible, at least supecogatory. By the way, MARTIX LUTHER wust have had some valuable knowledgo 2sto His Satanic Majeaty, if, as 13 coufidontly stated, he had ~an interviey with that persopage. ~ low fortunats 1t would have Leen If eomo enterprising reporter bad only interviewed the wortny monk.

But nesspapers were not i existence then in Germany. and no ubiquitous interviewer, the creation of the present ceatury, was ready to supply the lacking informacion. TIE GERJANS, of all nations sinco the_Greeks, appear to have bad the most lively_sad realizing belief in evil spirita. Goblius, elves, gnomes, sprites, witch- es, and numerous other species. of un- seen or superbuman crestiops, are to bo found descrived in their writings.

'The following, either translations from the German or matives of our own lan- guage, are a few of the mors common: *‘The devil is good when he is plessed,” evidently showa that * Even the devilisnot asbad as he is sometimes painted ; " and, if such be the case, we ought to ** Give the devil his due,” for ceriainly *"Tis a_sin to belie the devil,” even though " he be */Hell's Prince, sly parent of revolt and lies.” The proverbs, * The devil tempts all, but the idlo tempt the devil,” ** An idle brainis the devil's workshop.” * Idle men are the devil's playthings,” evidently suggested the idea of Watt’ lines, For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do. Mothers advise uotruthful boys to * Speak the trath, and shama tho devil” while wicked suns retort that ** Sometimes the devil doth preach,” or ** Even the devil can cite Scripture for this purpose.” The wily and omnoipresent character of the sutile possessor of the cloven hoof is shown by the sayings, ** Talk of the devil aud he'll either come or send.” or, as it is more commonly used now, *“Tulk of the deviland he's aure to appear,” “ Tue devil hath power to assume s ploasing sbapo,” * The devil is not slways at one door,” * Seldom the devil lios dead in & ditch,” *“Tho dovil is never nearer than when we are talking of him," and **The devil's meal is half brao.” It is well known that the arch-fiend is ‘“The father of lies,” and of course not good at keepiog his promises nor paying his dues even though there 18 **I'he devil's to pay,” though we are assured, and pousibly some know it for a truth, that * What is gotien over the devil's back 18 spent under s belly,” becanse “ He that takes the devil into his boat must needs carrv him over the sound;” and “ He must bave a long spoon that must eat mith the devil ;" and because, ogain, * It's an ill battie where the devil carries the colors. ™ Cyaics and skeptics can affirm that “A man 18 znother devil,” or that * Whers God bwids acburch, there the devil builds a chapel,” or that ** Hell is ureless to sages, but necessury to the blind pop- ulace,” the disappointed legal suitor may cousole himself with the thonght that ** Heil and chancery are ever ojen ;" the rejected lover can exclaim, “ Hell has no fury like & woman scorned:” the fatalist murmur, ** He must needs go that the devil dnveth;" tho misanthropist growl that *‘Some hope to ment heaven by makingz earth a hell ;" the temperance-crusader tell, * There s a dovil in every berry of the grape :” while Chris- tianity warns us that “ The way to hell is’ paved with good inzencions, ' aud that **‘The devil goeth about like & roariug lion seeking whom he may devour.” TIE FREXCH seem to have had quite a plezsant idea of the father of lies, for tlcy often represent him as an interviewer, and hide their persopality under tho guise of tho devil visiting, 84 in_Lhe well- known novel of Le Sage, *The Devil on Two Stictis," in which we are treated to a view be- hind the scenes of Spawmsh life. This amusing work was continued in England under the title of ** The Devil on ‘f'wo Sticks in Eugland; " and anotber work of mumilar character gave us a view of London hfe, in compauy with the same edfi- ciens guide. Finally Asmodens crossed the water, and treated us to & view of New Yorkin a book called * Asmodeus in Now York.” The well-known epigram of Rabelais is worth guot- mng: The devit waa sfck : the devil a monk would be; The devil was well ; the devil a monk was he.

Chnstopher Marlowe— “~thie English Boccaccio,” aa he Las sometimes been calied—gave us thie tragical bistory of Dr. Faustuz io & drama which contained gome lines worehy of even s Shakspearo. John Webster, & contemporary dramatist with Shakspearo, com- poscd three dramas, “The White Devil,” ** The Devil's Law Case,” and ** The Duchess of Mal- 1ry,” wherein he gives his idea of this personage. Dofoe, besides his numerous novels, favored the world with * Tho Political History of the Devi}," and a descrivtion of the devil's dwelling, rly called bell,” which, like the ‘“ Life of ippa,” mentioned above, 1s entirely out of date, owing to tho large amount of knowledge since obtained on the subject. But what must be xaud of the generous soul who for foar some men would be saved, kindly furnished 3 guide-book called ‘' A SCRE GUIDE TO HELL." In 1818, Da Plaucr, a Freuchman, published a volumnious work entitled * Dictiounaire Infer- Dal.” relating to devils, magic, bell, ete. But theseare only a tithe of the numerous books and pamplets waich Lave bsen published coucerning the evil one. Douglas Jerrold also wrote s pley, ** The Devil's Ducat.” Coleridze enlightened us on a ittle visit the old gentioman made to the earth, from which bo, however, ro- turned disgusted ; DLurns gives a few delicate bints on the same subject ; Crurkshank and Landseer thought him not wor- thy to occupy their time, not to mention the un- known aathors of numerons eatly romarces, and that musty walking library of useless pedan- try and superstition, Burton, or the scores of divines of all ages whoso polemics now rest un- disturbed in ancieat libraries. IX AMERICA, also, Edgar A. Poo has, in his story of **Never Bet the Devil Your Head,” warned us of the novel and yet rather unpleasaut means the gen- tleman 1 black sometimes uses to extort payment of the bets made with _hitw. Last month also, a New York book-firm—Seiib- ner, Welford & Armstrong—issued a curions cat- alogue, “Bibliotheca Diabolics, being a choice seléction of the most valuable books relating to the devil, demons, hell, magic, sorcery, wiich- craft, divination, ghosts, &c.,—in_two parts, pro and con,—serious and humorous,” and itlustrat- ed with twelve curions desigus, & publicstion of which makes an era in the history of book-cata- logues. THE FORNS ander which the devil is pictured by various na- tions are not & little curious, s tending to show tle different_cusractenstica attributed to him. The ancient Egyptians seemed to regard him 1o & canine aspect, and pictured him with the lcog nose of a hound, but walking o two lega like a eatyr. To the Assyrians he pressated himself in a more caunae character, and they gave him a heavy. muscular frame, aad also endowed him with” wings, and scales covering the neck. The Cingulese again evidently thought the arch- fiopd was tho ‘*mnissiug Lnk,” aud made bim part man, part womau, part horse, coiled round also with serpents Like the marble group of Lao- coon ana his sons. In the Anglo-Saxan idea, ho 18 possessed of a howman form; »nd & few centu- ries later the English races accommodated him wita horns and a tail, the latter sbort and stumpy, evidently dwindling away by noo-use. s fighting qralities are sbowa two long ®purs or horns on his knoes and heels. The Fronch of the fifteenth century, again, ovidently regarded him a3 an incongraous combi- pation of _fish, flesh, aod fowl, suppiyed him with a neatlycurved pair of bLorns, Iong asinine ears, a doreal fin running from the Deck the whole length of tho bacs, & tail growing out of the nght tairh, and long spindiing legs. terminating in four claws hike a chicken. Add to this 2 long, flexiblo nose, stariog eyes, 2nd a pe- culiarly sazavic grin,—for it 18 uot a laugh,—and the piciura is complete. THE ABYSSINIANS secm to hava viewed Satan iu rather a pleazant ligist, for they iepresent him cloihed in lone, decorvus garments, with a kind of prison-stripe, Lowever, 2 full beard aud mustache, and the ouly suggestion of his infernal character is found 1o the little devil who is of the ortho- dox cat, with horus and tail, but whose toes spread out much like the tines of s patent lightoing-rod. Tue Italians added to the ordinary type of demon a pig’s suous and pair of wings: they also elongated the heels, and gave acurl to the eaudal appendage. The Hindoos furnished him with a coat of Lair—quite super- fluous, apparently, judging from the tempera- ture of the place in which be is gaid to Live. CRUIKSHANE, in his humorous illuetrations, sketchea him in black, with horns and hoofs, or rather a foot with ¢wo toes, aud short wings, evidently more for appearance than use. Landsecr, with & more discriminating sense of bis mental and morat traits, gives the Prince of Darknessa somewhat human form,—beariog & strikiog re- semblance, in fact, to Byron,—and paints in hus features the cyniciam, malignans hate, snd na- rolonting peraistence in evil of the Sitan of the Scniptoies. Glancing, then, over all hisf we find the conception of a being of evil tho: and werk, 5 who, even worshi, by the Tezidis of Koor- distan, and divided into parta with tha Hindoos, by regarding his attributes as separats ex- istences ; im some nations showingz a semi-humaa character, in others pictured as the impersoaa- tion of all wickedness znd vice ; still 80 every- ;;zhura radically the same,—a persistant enemy of h‘n human race, againat whom, as exhibited in is own passions, it is the duty of every maa to contend, and_whom to conquer is the greatest 5‘:;;:): of life—the grandest effort of our ex- HEARTSEASE.
