ANEcpoTE. When Mr.. Miller first published
his famous lectures ON the Second Coming Of
Christ, the subject produced great excitement
in some parts Of the State Of Maine and those
who were Of a slender constitution, and who
were subject to nervous eirritabiity, were much
alarmed. 1t was said there was an aged deyout
man living ia the regions of the Kennebec, who
though somewhat eccentric in his manners, was,
on account of his devotion to- religious duties, in
his closet, his family, and neighborhood, consd-g
cred q very pious man ; and kind OF oracle in
the vicinity, to whom the people on all ordinary
occasions were wont to run fof advice. w hen
the rumor of the Second Advent reached the vii
lage, and became the topic OF conversation, q
man Of the above named temperament took the
alarm, and hastily ran to the good old man, ex-
claiming, ''Sir, they say that the world is CONF
ing TO an end--that the dead are going to be
raised, and that Christ is coming to Judge the
world in 1843 They say, sir, that a Mr. Mil
Ter, Of New York, has been studying on this sub
ject.for many years; and has an accurate reck-
onipg on. all the prophesies; and on the book If
Revelations; and he says that all these things
will certainly take place al that time, and they
say, too, that there are great many who be-
lieye it, " But what do you think about il,
sir q Do you think that Christ will come al
that time 7" 8 i do not know, :, replied the good
old man; II will ask the Lord about it, and see
what he will tell me-" So the man returned
home. But anxious to know hefesult, he soon
after came again, TO inquire Of the oracle, and
meeting the old veteran Of the cross, said,
!" Well, sir, have you asked the Lord whether
Christ would come 10 Judge the world in 1843
+ or nc, :" He gravely answered, 9 have"
l.iWell," continued the inquirer. what did the
Lord tell you 2' - He told me, |" replied the:

ness" So the man returned home satisfied

THE PAINTERS REVERE.
From the Book Of Beauty,

"Good good !" said the painter 10 himself:
sfine-effective-m must paint it. How beautiful
does that faint streak Of light break through the
waving Of the trees, Pickering, fiuctuating, hut-
tering, dancing, like the garnboling of a fairy
over the walls! Rich tone, deep, poetical-
make a fine picture! How much finer is nature
than imagination Who could have invented
those thousand variations of sun and shadow, OF
tone and coloring. Admirable place !-magnif-
cent effect splendid building Just after my
own heart y CHA T
Now this splendid building which was just
after the artists own heart, was neither more
nor less than an old tumble-doWn, crazy, rackety,
,ppIing, topping, shaky, wndrocked tenement,
IN which the wind, the owls, and the bats, might
hold their evening promenade concerts with no
other fear than merely that of rumblng down
their theatre. The few panes OF glass which
still Inhabited their primitive positions IN the case
ment rocked and ratified with great energy; but
most of the apertures intended originally for the
introduction Of light had an embargo Of misshap-
en- boards laid across them, which, win e they
prevented internal seeing, might themselves be
thought external y unsightly- at least IN any
other ewes than those of our artist. He, howev-
or. saw beauty in moss grown boards, something
of the picturesque in broken tiles taste in pros
trated chimneys elegance in broken ratings, emf
Refreshments in overturned unhinged gates, adorn-
mem, in the fringes of grass festooning the brok-
en- pavement, neatness and nicely in the bandag-
es of cloth laid over the wounds of windows, and,
in short everything that was delightful in the
dreary solitary dwelling
Acuated BY this ardour of imagination, our
artist sprang 10 action and his feet, and, having
arranged his easel, spread out his paper, pointed
his pencil, and liquifed colors, proceeded forth
with to dash off certain ground lines, and eleva-
ton lines, and lines to the point of sight, and
lines for the horizon, and lines up, and lines down,
and lines angular, and lines serpentine, and we
know not what other sort Of lines, and then to
dabble and splash in sea OF sky and river OF
land. with zeal and energy perfectly edifying.
But while thus employed there came hobbling
mn to him from the houseward certain squirting
old woman, dressed in cap of the date of Noah
before the food, not after the fashions changed,
and gown of the time of Methusaeh. This
article Of the feminine gender would indeed have
proved a costly treasure to the antiquary, both
IN natural attractiyeness and artificial decorative
ness.
Our artist did not see the approach of this
amiabe being until her shadow fell upon his pa
per and her voice upon his ear A.- M
!" Master has sent me to warn you off; you're
a-trespassing on his grounds" cah est /

dear good soul, pray stand still. There. now
just in that attitude Capital, capiial! i MUST

So, leaving the portrait Of the house, our artist
began, with the quickness Of lightning, to take
the portrait of the woman
"You're to go away repeated the old woman.
in shrill accents, g master orders yonaway."
"There, now, that attitude Yon dear old
soul, now do stand still That's it--just so--no-
thing could be better So natural, SO unstudied,
and yet so energetic characteristic, and effective!

And there the poor woman did stand; the
charm of fattered vanity having worked IT'S full
effect, trying not to move muscle in her willing
pilory, and looking, indeed, a fine specimen OF
broad farce.
