ing some hundred yards, not sign of the
chasm was visible. The waste we were
then upon was at least two hundred and fifty
miles in width, and two chasms | have
mentioned were the reservoirs, and at the
same time conductors of the heavy quantity
of rain which falls during the wet season, to
the running streams. This prairie is I'M
donhedly the largest in the world, and the
chasms are in perfect keeping with the size
of the prairie.
At shutdown, we halted at the side of a
waier-hole, and encamped there for the
night. BY this time many of the men were
out of provisions, while those who had still
a little beef left, had saved it by stntng
themselves on the previous days The worst
of our sufferings had now commenced.

WHERE'S THE MAN THAT FIXED THAT
BUsTLE !-On the highest point of the bellry
of the State House, which stands in the CEN
ire of our city, is conspicuousIy placed fe-
male figure, twelve feet in height, holding in
her hand the scales of justice. Some ways
took it into their heads, on Saturday night
last, that this lady was not in the fashion,
inasmuch as she was minus that all impor-
tant appendage, hustle. Accordingly one
of these articles was prepared, about the
size, we should Judge, of bag Of bran, con-
tanning three or four bushels, made in
shape to conform to the most fashionable
hustle. This was placed-and the adventure
must have been daring oue-across the
back of the Estate House Lady" where it
still remains, conspicuous sample of very
HIGH FASHION. The ladies', as they throng-
ed the streets on Sunday, cast many SLY
glances at the droll figure, and had the high
qualification ofwitnessing a conspicuous dis
play of the beauty which hustle is calcutta
ted to inpart to the female form, Hartford
Times.

SUFFERING AND DlsTREss.-We copy the
following from the Philadelphia correspon-
dence of the Journal of Commerce
Tie following occurrences will show the
condition of things among the poor in our
city. On Tuesday morning, "A poor white
man was detected by a butcher taking a
piece of meat from his stand in Market
street He begged to be let off; pleading
his poverty and the suffering of his family
for want Of bread. An offer was made by a
gentleman to pay the price of the beef,which
the butcher declined taking, at the same III
slant saying, 81 will make him present of
it, as no doubt his case is hard one"
A circumstance of similar character oc-
Cured last week, but the butcher, instead of
stopping the man, quietly followed him to
his home, and upon going into the house,
was astonished to see the children of the
poor fellow greedily devouring the raw meat,
with an avidty that could only arise from
famine, while the father sat looking on I'M
mindful of his own suilerings. This was
too much for the sensbilities of the butcher,
who left the house with precipitation, but
soon returned having successfully exerted
himself to procure relief for this starving
family.
We have read of such occurrences in
other lands, but never expected the like to
lranspre IN our own country

81 recollect once in particular, my mothers
coming and standing by me as sat in the
door, and while she tenderly and solemnly
talked TO me of God, and my souls concern,
her tears dropped on my head; that made
me a missionary" A pious gentleman once
said, "To the instructions and prayers of
my mother, under God, | trace all the seri-
Gus impressions which were made upon my
mind in childhood and which became
stronger, and stronger, and finally led me,
as l hope, TO faith in the Lord Jesus"
