MISCELLANY N Y
A Pack of Cards.

A nobleman in the city of London, who
kept great number of servants, reposed con-
siderable confidence in one of them, which ex-
cited jealousy in the others, who, in order to
prejudice their master against him, accused
him of being notorious gamester Jack was
called up and closely interrogated; but he de-
MED the fact, at the same time declaring he
never PLAYED card in his life. To be more
fully convinced, the gentlemen ordered him to
hsearcled; when behold pack Of cards was
fouhl in his pocket. Highly incensed at Jack's
want e veracity, the nobleman demanded in a
rage, ho~ he dared persist in an untruth T.

Abolition Benevolence.

II is notorious that the Abolitionists Riys
nothing, or next to nothing, to aid The emapci-
patton of slaves; but some had supposed that
when an object was presented which they could
not but approve, and in The direct line Of grand
larceny, they would shell ont with some degree
Of liberahty. But alas for poor human nature,
they with one consent, except Gerrit Smith,
(who has really large soul within him, only
it is bottom upwards) ask TO be excused. We
have tried to goad them to liberality, to shame
them to it even, but they are vengeance proof.
Gerrit Smith, in order to save Chaplin, the un-
derground railroad conductor, from the punish
ment due to his crimes, shelled out some $l3,-
2e3, Is, towards the twenty odd thousand dol
lars necessary TO enable him TO get Off with
whole skin. Our Abolition friends have been
appealed to again and again, they have been
begged and bullied, and entreated for months
past, to reimburse Gerrit for part Of his hea-
Wy outlay, but all there has been collected from
all the Abolitonistsin the country for this high
ly honorary object, is 50, ,722 ,O2, leaving him
still minus $9,56l,l3. If of this he can get
the change, he had better be thankful, and set
down the $4,000 to profit and loss, unless in
deed he considers the lesson he has so dearly
learned, worth the money, viz never to trust
men who advocate thievery of any sort.-N.

Extraordinary Curiosities.

The steamer ST. Ange, Captain Labarge,
arrived here yesterday from the Yellow
Stone, after a voyage of ffiy-two days.-
Capt. L.. informs us that Tor ten years pasf,
he has, IN every successive annual trip, OBJ
served remarkable looking solitary cedar
tree standing upon a blank and elevated
point, about fifty miles below the mouth of
the Yellow Stone. While coming down.
this last trip, he saw that bis old acq,,nin.
tance had fallen to the earth. Curiosity led
him 10 the spot which was about half mile
from the river, and perhaps 700 feet above
its level, when he found, to his surprise,
that the tree was in the most perfect state of
petrifaction. Judging from The shortness OF
the interval since he had seen il standing. il
must have been in that condition while stand
ing erect as 1t had grown! The trunk WIS
aboLt thlriy-six inches in diameter. A frag-
ment OF u IS now lying upon our table, anil
is decidedly the most perfect specimen Of
lieenous petrIiactiun we have ever seen.
DR.. Exams, U S. Geologist, who came as
passenger in the ST. Ange, found, near the
same spot, the shoulder blade of mastodop.
measuring nearly 3 l-2 feet across also
some enormous loot bones Of the same AMI
NAL. Fossil shells, the head of snake. and
other curiosities we're found by DR.. Evans in
the same locality.
Among the notabilities Of the rrip. vas
the catching Of The linnet-a bird very rarely
seen--by some of the boat hands. lss piu-
mage is beauliiu!, and the melody of Ms song
is most charming.
Mr.. Berthold, who also came on The boat,
brought with him The stuffed SHIN OF one oi
the mammoth mountain sheep of the Yellow
Stone region. 1t stands about as large as an
ordinary mich COW, and is indeed, re-
markahle curiosity.
Capt. Labarge brought down some beau-
tiful specimens of the rocks found on Cam
nan Bail River, whose name is derived from
them. They are perfectly spherical, aud
without very close inspection, would pass
Tor real cannon balls anywhere. They are
Of sizes ranging rom that Of a common nsar-
BILE to the bulk Of a half bushel measure
They are seen IN measureless abundance
projecting from the face Of the steep hank,

We had an opportunity to witness while

curious and certainly, in this country, very
rare, optical illusion.

that Cape Ann, distant nearly 80 miles,
could be seen much higher above the water
than usual, and that beyond the ordinary bor.
izon, there appeared stretched out CLASSY
sea, whose polished silvery surface was quite
unlike that Of the ocean, and upon which
foated vast number Of sail boats and small
vessels. Upon examination with the tele.
scope, We found that not only the Cape and
house upon it, but every boat and vessel pre-
sented underneath reverse image OF ITSELF

A brother in the ministry, who for many
years had been a close observer Of the wav
IN which many Of our traders do business,
and how the love OF wealth leads 10 acts Of
dishonesty, took occasion to preach on the
passage in Luke 16: l0-'He that is unjust

was that men who take advantage in small
things, of purchaser or seller, have the ve-
ry element ct character 10 wrong the commu-

posed the various ways by which people

escaping taxes and custom house duties; by
managing to escape postage; by finding arti-
