Apart, however, from the tempting features ofthe programme, the main attraction centred in the juction of the dramatic sketch, ‘‘Jessie,” which, j the way, ought to be seon to be appreciated.

Ho afterward changed his religious viows and became, in tho year 1825, a Universuliat minister, preaching in many villages in tho States of Vermont and New York. He also wrote and published many articles in supppert, or defence, of bis change of religion. His ecclesiastical position soon yrew distaste. \ fulto him. Hiving made tho acquaintance of Robert Owen, ho was fascinated with bis schemes of social ro- form, and, in the year 182%, became prominent im tho formation of the workingmen's party in New York, the design of which was to relieve the condition of tl poorer classes through the instramontality of Hitical organizations. He soon, however, despaired of the effectiveness of this new movement.
