although had read of similar occurrences in the
districts around the Alps, was not prepared for so
remarkable an instance as had Just taken place.
We found ourselves at least quarter of a mile
from the original spot. The farmhouse and out
buildings were all entire. A range of poplars
which grew near the barn still occupied the same
relative position to that building. The only change
observable was, that a stream which flowed little
below the farm houses had entirely disappeared.

EXTRAORDINARY LAND SLIP.

A most extraordinary land slip happened a week
from Thursday last, 1.-THE l5th) near Lebanon, N. H.
About three miles to the eastward of the village
is high conical hill rising perpendicularly on its
southern side, but on the north sloping gradually
from the summit TO the rich table land below This
hill forms part of the property of Benjamin Wurtle,
Esq. and the land around it is divided into three
farms, each of which runs into rectangular shape
into the hill, meeting together in point at its apex.
The following is the relation of person on the
spot at the times
With one of the tenants, Robert Gourlay, had
occasion to transact some business on Thursday
last, and having called on him at his farm house,
about two o'clock of the day, was detained till
late in the evening. About half past ten o'clock,
as we were in the act of reading over some papers
preparatory to their being signed by us, we were
startled by sudden explosion. Our first impress
ion that piece of artillery had been discharg-
ed in the rear of the farm buildings but after re-
hecting on the exceeding improbability of such ar
event, we referred the detonaton to an earthquake
or some subteranean convulsion For the mex
few minutes we sat in state Of transferable alarm

box of books to distribute at the West He was

the gale came on-but then, like the rest he was
silent and waited with trembling anxiety the I'M

the shore, and attempted to throw out the anchors
when the whole forward part of the boat broke off
and the waves rushed into the cabin. AT once the

Among the many foolish freaks of Milerism,
one circumstance is related as having occurred in
Yankee town, on the Odd ult., which resulted in
the conversion of at least one from Millersm to
common sense. The story runs thus:
This weak sister, with her weaker spouse, had
repaired to the graveyard, near Munjoy, to await
the lookedfor moment; and, while waiting, the
fond husband proposed to his wife lit seems she
was second wife, to assist him in disnterring the
body of his dear first wife, that she, too might &C

then pouting her lips at him, says:-" No! if yot

She stopped for hum, and after a tolerable wait
her husband followed her.

ANTI-SLAVERY IN THE SLAVE STATES.
That the liberal and judciour part of the South
ern community entertain similar views in relation
to slavery, as the same part of the public at the
North, we have no doubt. 1t is grateful to record
open expressions of this enlightened spirit A
meeting has been held in Wilmington (Del) in
which two resolutions were passed,-th Slavery
should be abolished in Delaware, at the next
ion of the Legislature and that Candidates in favor
of such measure should be voted for. A letter
from the Presbytery OF West Tennessee is given
by the Boston Recorder, which breathes a truly
fine spirit of philanthropy on this subject 1t is in
answer to general letter addressed to many South
ern districts We extract some parts:
"We agree with you, that the ministry and the
church of Christ deeply involved in the rcspon-
sibiity of the existence of slavery, and of its
tinuance and of every degree of rigor, with which
the yoke of oppression is bound upon the neck of
a suffering man, and trust we are, individuals,
willing to do whatever manifest duty dictates AS
individuals, we not called master by any human
being.
"The conviction has long been exclusively prev
alent among us, that we must dispose of the evil,
or it iciH dispose of us-and beyond the spray of
popular excitement, there is sober second thought
from which something may be hoped on the sub
ject. Throughout the eastern division of Tennes-
see, small part of which we occupy, we find but
few shareholders who dare to justify the system,
but barely venture to palliae, in their particular
cases. In our Presbytery there is not one, and in
the churches under our care there are but few who
consider the system of slavery, as it exists among
us, in any other light than sin against God and
man, and detrimental to all the better interests OF
the community"
"The Synod of Kentucky, at its late session,
pledged their cooperation in carrying out, as they
say, "any judicious plan for extending the gospel
to this long neglected class of population" and
recommend all ministers to hold special stated NEE
tings for the benefit Of negroes, and all masters to

~, c; Do,col limos were writton by Mr.. Lyman Wood
yob While on his tour at West in letter to of his
neiehbors, u short time before his DEATH
From distant lands, to you, my Friend, write,
with sa,isG,ction and intense delight,
TO let you know that health attends me here,
Al this suspicious season of tho year;
That peace like broad stream, pcrvodes tho SOUL
As times brief periods in succession roll
That plenty fills her horn at Cores board
And Natures ample stores still more uitordj
While each revolving season pleasure brings,
And ioy from its pure spontaneous springs.
Suffice, it then, I've found the happy land,
Where Peace aud Plenty both, their arms expand
T,embrace the omgrant from lands of storm,
Who seeks this genial soil' his heart to warm.
Aud when in Eastern clmes his course is run,
This Western country still retains the sun
Aud by its Increased longitude, while night
Invades you thero-we still enjoy the light;
And, as our latitude is less than yours,
Less snow distils, and greater warmth nures,-
This last position, without reas'ning toll,
Is proved, by melons on the prairie soil'
But chiefly distance from the mountain height,
Conduces most to make the winter Lights
While 'blushing BoIens, shon of half his locks,
Lost in the gale, on Oriental rocks
To silent caverns, boar, retr'd to rcst,
Lets play the Zephyls Of the bamy Uest.'
Here the fair pid.aooe,' of tho prairie grows,
And all the 'des IT blossoms like tho rose,
In rich profusion, the gay, smiling train
Sport in fresh veriurc on the sunny plainly
Their aromatic robes, all chosie end fair,
Exhae their odors on the ambient air.
Here the tall graceful corn, maturod, is seen
Der all the parties, rcisning as queen,
With sccptte turned TO that celestial sphere,
Where emanates the power from year TO year.
To feed the Emigranis by hosts immense,
Spread DER tho country sparse, or city dense,
(For cities here like iowa abound
And great Chcngo,' by the sea profoundly
And as revolving years in time shall roll,
They'll spread vest and farther towards the Pole,
Till all the extended regions peopled DER
From Lake Superior to Pacifc's shore.
Here the great Mississippi pours his urn
From distant climcs, wild, unknown sojoutn!
Onward he flows, and downward rolls his tide, .
Where freedoms lapds from SAveIy's realms divide
Paying his constant tribute to the sea,
!" Like mortal life to meet Eternity"
Hero rich soil and temperate climate wait,
To welcome travellers to this beauteous state
Come on, my friends 1! here's glory all around
And young paradise on earthly ground.
May health attend sDu your Western march,
And wealth the keystone of the royal afch,'
Unlock her stores your generous hearts to bless,
And thus promote your temporal happiness.
Hence far removed from vain, ambitious strife
I'd spend in peace my latest hours of lu
Iu'd by the Nightingale at close of day,
Wnk'd by the early Robins sprightly lay;
Sedate and temperate, for the time to come,
Till from hence remove TO my long home.'

WRITTEN FOR A LADY'S ALBUM.

GO little book, from this thy solitude;
| cast thee on the waters go thy ways
And if, MS believe, thy vein be good,
The world will find thee, after many days"
Thus wrote the poe; Southey, and weon
His sCrbhug nat superior to those
Which in this choice collection may be seen,
No matter what you call it, verse prose-
They who within these pages write, must speak
OF love, of friendship, and the hearts glow;
Real or fcigned, must claim to be the meek
Friends of that virtue which the good best know.
Alas how often does the tongue or pen
Speak gracious words, quite foreign to the heart.
Be cautious, maiden, how you trust in men,
For they, like you, leave Nature oft for Art d..
