merchants residing there, acting Uni
ted States Consul, and that, when his
flag was hoisted on his house, he should
salute it with nine guns, which would
be returned by the same number Of
guns from our ship.
To these terms he made no objec-
tion, except to his firing first, which
he said was contrary TO the custom of
his country, but il the Commodore
would fire first, he would answer
This the Commodore declined doing,
insisting upon his firing first, as an a.
tenement for not having fired salutes
when they were due TO our flag. The
Commodore stated TO him that If these
terms were not complied with, he
should go away without hosting the
flag or appointing Consul. After
considerable hesitation and discussion,
this point was finally conceded by him,
and thus this important question be
tween the two governments was satis-
factorily settled.
A day or two after this, the Prince
gave a grand dinner 10 all our officers.

CHANGE OF HABIT.-A gentleman
recently from Africa, while at one of
the civilized colonies on the coast, met
young colored woman he had known
in Old Virginia, who had obtained her
freedom for good conduct, and had EN-.

AlaScat and The United Stats,

Most OF our readers will remember
the Imaum of Museat for The rich pres
ents he has given to the President OF
the United States. 1t seems that some-
time back the Imaum was displeased
with the reception which his presents
and long letters met with, and on one
occasion he refused to salute our Co l.
sul's flag, and the Consul was obliged
to withdraw. Commodore Aul:ck,
who went out in the steamship Sus-
quehanna, was charged to touch at
Zanzibar, and settle, if practicable,
these difficulties. He was, we under
stand, says the Washington Telegraph,
the bearer of letter to the Sultan,
which, like every thing else which has
Of late emanated from the State De-
partment, was dignifed, firm, and yet
conciliating.
A letter from a person on board the
Susquehanna, dated Pont de Gale,
January, gives the following account
of the Commodore's visit:
On our arrival at Zanzibar, we
found that the Sultan was not there,
but at Muscat. His son, Primo Said
Khaled, rules here during his fathers
absence.
The day after our arrival, Commo-
dore Aulick called upon him by agree
ment. and requested that he should, on
the hoisting Of our flag. at 8 o'clock
next morning, salute it with twenty
one guns, which salute would be re-
turned, gun for gun; and that he would
then appoint one Of the American

Tie Rrtacster Branch of the Nor

The Brtacster Branch Of the Nor
naons.--The Illinois Journal gives the
particulars of the condition of the
Brewster branch Of the Mormon
Church. 1t appears that over fifteen
years ago, family By the name of
Brewster came to Springfield, ILL.,
They were Mormons, and had weak
ly boy of unusual talents. At twelve
he wrote very well, and remembered
all he read At this time the Nor
mons professed to speak in unknown
tongues, and to have revelations from
heaven. The boy gave scope to his
day dreams, and conceived that he was
inspired to write out the lost Book of
Esdras. A hundred or more pages
were prepared. They foretold the es.
tablishment of a church on different
basis from that cl the Mormons. its
emigration to tho mouth of the Colora-
do, its establishment and hourishing
condition there, and gave rules for its
government The divine character of
these revelations by young Brewster
was believed in by considerable body
of people scattered over Illinois, Iowa
and Chic.
The Journal states that the arrange
ments for some time in progress for
the emigrati N Of the church were so
far completed in July, year ago, that
some forty families met at Indepen.
dence, Mo-, ard took up their line of
march for the Colorado, o,near its mouth.
Before their arrival at Santa Fc, the
company divided, and the whole Of the
largest division, under the direction of
Mr. Goodale, perished by starvation

pc on the Rio Grande some distance
below ';anta Fe, and endeavored to
make settlement there, having dis,
covered that they could do so under q
new explanation ofthe prophecy of The
Book Of Esdras. The Journal has a
letter from Sorocco, the stopping place
of Brewster and his party, dated Jan.
nary 26th, 1852, stating that sickness,
starvation and the savages have about
used up the balance of those misgui
ded people. The few left would re-
turn to the States, if they had the
means to get back.

A Tale Of EXtraord nary Suffering, Want,
end Death.

The Fredericksburg (va.) News
nariates the following extraordinary
incidents in the life OF a man named
Watson, in King George county. Va,
merchant who had four children, and
became widower and bankrupt
Though it is not unfrequent that we
hear of incidents like the one detailed
below, the great mass OF mankind will
not believe that such things can hap>
pen in Christian land, where osten-
tatious charity and charitable institu-
tions are visible at every turn in the
highway.
"With his little children, two of
whom were daughters, he lived on u
small farm which he rented, three miles
below the line separating Stafford and
King George. During the coldest Of
the weather in the latter part of De-
cember last, his childrtn were seized
with whooping cough, and every { ne
of them prostrated. Whilst thus con-
fined some fiend broke in his meat and
fowl houses and stole every fowl and
piece of meat on the farm. In doing
so they passed through the garden,
levelling the fences, and thereby per-
mitting the ho.s and cattle to destroy
all the vegetables intended for winter
use. The only thing left for the sup
port of that family was small quaint
ty of corn meal and some unroasted
coffee. IN that condition they lay
large portion of the time without wa
ter, without fire, and without food.
"a poor widow in the neighborhood
sent them a small piece of meat, and
the oldest boy, not quite SO i'll as the
rest, did, as long as his strength would
enable him, crawl to the fire place, stir
up the dying embers, half cook some
bread, fry o piece of meat, snd with
coffee without milk or sugar ,atI enpted
to relieve the hunger Of his dying fa-
ther and sisters. On one occasion,
weak and feeble as he was, be stag
gered through the snow to nejghbor's
house to procure fire. At one time
the father and children. would be cry
ing for water, and not a drop in the
house, and no one to bring it. Thus
they lay for sexeral days, until God,
in his mercy, took two Of the children.
Two days did they lay corpses by the
side oftheir sick parent, and no one to
prepare them for sepulture and con-
vey them to the tomb. A man acci-
dentally passing by called in, found the
family as we have described them, the
father blind and insensible, with his
two dead children lone frozen to deatl,
Lying by his side, and le them in
that condition. Two days after this
the father died. The night preceding
his death he had hemorrhage, and bled
most profusely. BY his side were his
son and his daughter, barely able to
raise their heads, but nerved to the
occasian, they sat by him the whole
night altne, using every means their
infant minds could suggest in staunch-
ing the blood. A poor widow, the day
of Watson's death, heard of it, came to
his house, had him and his two dead
children buried, took the sick ones
home with her, nursed them, and has
!. since restored them to health"

The following exquisite little legend
IS from Longfellow's new poem:

"Therc are two angels that attend unseen
Each one Of as, and in great books, record
Our good and evil ends He who writes down
The good ones, after every action closes
His volume, and ascends with it to God:
The other keeps his dreadful day book open
I'LL sunset that we may repent; which doing
The record of the action fades away,
And leaves line of white across the page"

And then after moment she said,
"Mother, is the snow very deep!"
"Not very, dear; why do you ask?
"Because il it were deep, I thought
it would be difficult for old Mr.. Smith
to find our lot in The grave yard. Are
all the head-stones covered, mothar?"
"What is the matter, Sarah? What
if they are covered?"
Mother, dear, it is useless to con-
ceal it from ourselves, or from one
another, You know, and l quite as
well, that ] am dying. have not
wished to live, only for one thing I did
long for life, and Idreaded to meet

W will tell you what I mean

and you will rise and walk about, and
visit, and 60 in and out, and sleep and
wake again, and SO on. day after day,
and shall have no part any longer
il your Gates and joys, dear mother"
And as she uttered the last two words,
she put her arms around her mothers
neck, and kissed her fondly, and sank
back into her chair again. Isat al
her feet. watching her matchless fea-
lures, A smile was fitting across
