bic oyster horn and the people came pouring in
from all sides. Brother Charles Fitch late OF New
ark, preached from Acts L, Ii was an eabo-

dsprove the falacy OF a millennium, and to estab-
llsh the tact that when Christ cometh, he shall come
and reign with the saints, 1" forever-even forever
and ever"
collection was taken up, and the congregation
dismissed. We applied to brother tor lodg-
ings. =" Oh yes-here brother, take this gentle
man to the tent of the brethren. II was done. The
interior OF the tent was commodIOus, and the eafy
floor being covered with thick layer OF straw,
there was bed already OF IL feet by IL, per admea-
suTement.
Following the example of the eight bre thren, my
fellow dodgers, | dotted my coat nd boots, and
lay down in parallel line upon the straw; and when
we had all been neatly covered by set Of clean
second-adven counterpanes, was just on the eve
OF congrauating myself upon comfortable nights
rest, in the straw aforesaid, when of the breth-
rem elevaiing his head, proposed little song Ii
Ii o'clock; but knew from that moment, that the
case was out The brethren commenced singing
in low nasal tone, sitting up like sick men in the
straw =
"As went down in the valley for to pray
met King Jesus a commin' in the way,
And he said, arc you comm in the valley for to
prayf
For he blest my SOUL"
Icontnued in my horizontal attitude, listening to
the sounds without of frogs and whippoOr-wills,
when suddenly the melody of several female voices
IN cooperation with our singers, were heard at the
sung, looking for the door but the door was shut.
Brother Croaker, a big fat man, however, arose
from his nest In the straw, and admitted the sisters
The singing, the praying, and the grOaning, screetch
ing, bowling, sobbng, waillng, crashing, ripping
and tearing then commenced In earnest. II was
confusion for several hours OF variety OF glO
rlfcatlon, all glOrliylng together, and each deter
mined to be heard above all the rest kO-klO
Kraaa Dloly, Dlery, Every quickly Dley! It's here
Il knew it--come, Jesus-we're walting--set the
poor world on fire-burn em up, the unbellevers, IT
they will not hear thy word !" In an under tone
Who is that young man, brother % " have my
suspicion that he's reporter-look at the paper in
his hat, and besides" Glory glory! It's good
for to be here % Yes, sister, it's very good.
" 1t is good, my Jesus" :" Vas, its hexcellen, m,
Lerd!" "Dlory dlory! Hamenr' This sort OF
jargon kept up till halt past four, when the
a sweet relief from this shocking mummery OF 1.-The
Miller and his men" At five the prayer-mee ting
commenced but disguised with such blasphemy,
arose, paid brother Vinegareye shilling for the
privilege OF the straw, and decamped. We had the
brethren, however, all the way back TO Brooklyn,
upwards of twenty miles, in the cars, singing their
songs unique, aid descantlDg on the certain de-
struction of the world very soon. Some OF them
declared their doubts but still held themselves in
readiness. They were all sallow, slckly set OF
creatures as you could wish to The only way
in which could stop their glory ~ in the cars,
was by giving dstich OF
"Tippecanoe and Tyler too"
after the manner OF 1910 Miserable wretches arc
they all! And their orgies are like Hamlet's muir
der, &C horrible-most horrible ~ "Glory, klory !!
MOSES IN The BUSH.
