A FORTUNATE MISTAKE.
A Coon AND HuMoRous Sropv

II 10 said in publication of the olden time
that the Rev. Bulkley, the first minister OF
Colchester. Conn.,, was famous in his day az
a casulst and sage counsellcr. A church in
his neighborhood had fallen into unhappy di-
visions and contentious which they were un.
able to adjust amongst themselves. Thew
deputcd one Of their number to the venerable
Bulkley for his advice, with q request that he
would send It to them in writing. The mat
tiers were taken into serious consideration.
and the advice with much deliberation COM
mitted. to writing. 1t SO happened that Mr..
Buckley had farm In an extreme part of the
town, upon which he entrusted tenant; and
to whom he must have been about transmit-
ting letter at the same time. In superscrib-
ing the two letters, the one for the church
was directed to the tenant, and The one for
the tenant to the church.
The church was convened to hear the ad.
vice which was to settle all their Disputes
The Moderator read as follows s.You sciUsee
TO Merepairs Of the fences, that they be 5uik
high, and strong, and you tvfX take speciai
care Of the old black bull" This mystical adj
vice puzzled the church at first, but an inter.
prefer among the more discerning ones was
found, who said Brethren, this Is the very
advice we most need; the direction to repair
The fences is to admonish US to take good
heed in the admission and government Of our
members; We must guard tho church by our
Masters laws, and keep out strange cattle
rom the fold. And we must, in a particular
manner, set watchful guard over the Devil,
he old black bull, who had done us so much
lurt of late. All perceived the wisdom and
illness of Mr.. Bulkley's advice, and resolved
o be governed by it. The consequence was,
Ill the animosities subsidized, and harmony
vas restored 80 the long afflicted church,
What the purportof the letter sent to the ten

Another new sect Is raising its head in
Boston under new name, They call them
selves the man-governnfent-Sect, and
if we understand them, denounce all civil
government as without Divine authority, and
therefore inconsistent with the natural rights

TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION.

The Baltimore American speaking of the
recent Procession Of the Temperance Socie.
ties in that city, says.-Their appearance
was imPosing-the procession being very
large, including many thousands. The
banners throughout the whole line were
dressed with Grape in token of the general
mourning for the death of the President of
the United States.
The moral effect Of this unusual celcbra-
ton, we hope will be great and lasting. The
number of those who participated in it, shows
that an interest deep and general is felt in the
subject in this community. The impulse
which has been lately given to the progress
OF the temperance reformation in Baltimore
has extended also to other cities. 1t began
here with the formation of the Washington
Temperance Society, which consisted at first
OF only six persons, all of whom had been SUBJ
ject TO the habit of intoxication. Hundreds,
perhaps we may say thousands, have been
added to their number in this city and in the
adjacent counties: and very recently depu-
tation visited New York, on an invitation from
that city, where their efforts were attended
with great success.
The Procession after passing through the
streets as designated in the Programme, FORM
ed In front of the Washington Monument,
where the remaining ceremonies of the day

country for his labours in the Temperance
reformation. The ceremonies were conclu-
ded by prayer from the Rev. Mr.. WEBSTER,
OF the Methodist Protestant Church. The
procession was again formed in excellent or
der, and with music and banners returned
through the city.
The whole affair WAS Yzsfl .n-.d .nS-- --A
the large numbers swelling the ranks of the
procession exhibited greater aggregate Of
| the friends of temperance than was ever be-
fore collected perhaps in the United States.
Several Juvenile Societies participated in the
celebration. Deputations .were also presen,
from New York and Philadelphia-otbers
from the adjoining counties of Pennsylvania,
from. the Eastern Shore, Ellicott's Mills, Elk
ridge, and other contiguous places.
In she afternoon a large concourse Of peo-
pie assembled in Monument Square, where
they were addressed by the Rev. Mr.. Hunt
and other advocates of the Temperance cause.
