THE BAND OF SEvEN--Early in
The career Of the Epidemic in New
Orleans, seven young men Of this city
volunteered to go down, and with their
own hands aid in extending relief to
the suffering. With letters to May
or Crossman and the Secretary of the
Howard Association, they left the then
healthy shores of Our own healthy city
and proceeded on their mission of be-
nevolence. This was done without
any of the cclat, that would have fol-
lowed the same number of men, had
they enlisted to defend our "border'
against hostile foe.-Their mission
was fearful, Christian mission, and
consequently unheraldcd. They as
sembled on the deck of one of our
packets, and attracted no attention.
in the midst of them was the principal
guardian spirit Of the town.-He gave
them advice in brief terms and after
bidding them God speed in their
mission they departed. The Howard
Association after highly compliment
ing them for this hazardous display
Of true moral courage, declined their
services-believing as they said, that
their danger in the pestilence greater,
than others better acclimated. Finding
it impossible to obtain a place in the
advance guard on active duty, they
reached our shore, ere field for their
services was opened to them, and with
fearless risk of their own lives they
went to work bow scrviceable they
have been how much heart sicken.
ing distress they have relieved, and how
much they have done towards stopp'
ing the progress, of the unmerclful
epidemic, remains yet TO be told.
Two out of the seven have faller
in the service yet undaunted the five
are still united, and before the low
ering sky clears off, they will have
written bright page in the history
of Baton Rouge.

EARTHQUAKE AT BILoxI.-At
bout 5 o'clock on Sunday evening a
violent shock of earthquake was felt at
Biloxi. 1t came rolling and rum
bling on from the east, sha-
king trees, houses and everything else
which happened to be in the vicinity
of its subterranean course, and, at the
same time, communicated a violent
palpitation to the hearts of elderly
ladies of both sexes" 1t appears to
have been more violent at Biloxi, than
at any other of the Lake shore water
ing places. Doors flew open and
trembled as if shaken by some spirit
ual agency; Plates and platters danced
in their cuboards and bottles, and de-
canters leaped from their hiding pla-
ces, and watzed about floors, OCCASION
ally knocking against each other, and
mingling without stint, their spiritu-
Gus contents. Some houses, even
rocked so that it was feared that
they would tumble over, and no doubt
they would have done so, had not the
underground railroad passed on so sud-
denly that the danger was over al.
most before it was known to exist
We await further details-T ne

SHIP BUILDING AT ST JOHN, N. B.
The St. John papers state that ship
building is unusually brisk there this
season. Some Of the Aeetest clippers
in the English and American fleets
have been built at St. John. The
quick trips Of several Of the provincial
ships have not been surpassed by any
others, and those of the Marco Polo, a
St. John built ship, have not been
equalled.

~Alluding to the charity con

Es-Alluding to the charity con
cert gsvcn by Ole Bull, in aid of our
suffering fellow citizens, the New York
Times remarks:
"Ole Bull enjoys, in this country a
considerable prestige. He is patriotic,
charitable, and popular. He bestows
superhuons means on worthy objects,
and has earned for himself the repu-
tation of an amiable and sterling man.
He has supported this character, on
the present occasion, by yielding his II
services, and thus organizing a benefi-
ciary concert for the relief of the New
Orleans sufferers. 1t was noble and
excellent example, which we are glad
to perceive, has been followed, and is
likely to be followed by other ar
tists."-DeLta.

in the expression II ths wish, that
IRE, famine, and pestilencc may con
tinue to visit ms from time to time as
they ever have done. Tempered by
the hand Of Divine Providence "all
seeming discord is harmony not un-
derstood. We ike to hear the wind
roar out in his gruff voice as he sweeps
over the land and lays things PROSTATE;
and we like the pestilence to come, to
remind man that he Is no better than
the "stuf that dreams are made Of
and his little life is rounded" This
is not the only lesson adversely teach
es. It calls forth the tenderest sym
pathies Of the human heart, and con-
trasts true charity with the mercinary
and selfish motives of beasts who de-
grade 'the human form divine" 1t
does the soul good to look at the acts
of sisterly affection that other cities
in the Union have manifested for our
own great metropolis; and when we
look about us and see the plilanthrop-
ic movements Of some Of our own clti-
zens in the hour of distress, it pleases
us to record their names--not upon
paper, but on the indistructable tablets
of the memory itself.
How beautifully they contrast with
the dark side of the picture? And
how delightful it is to look at their ac-
tons in the sunlight of Heaven. Whilst
the desolate, barren waste of selfish Sc
clusion, and inaction Of others fills in
the impenetrable darkness ofthe back
ground. In contemplating the scene,
there is one fact that presents itself to
the mind, and it is one for which the
christian may piously thank the Lord
That momey will not give security
from the pestilence, or buy one inch of
time when the "death bell rings" And
oh. ye miserable poverty stricken peo-
pie who ride about over field Of sa-
BILE bipeds, and use the paddle and the
rack, and the loaded whip, who turn
the deaf side to every appeal of chart
ty tremble in your shoes for the day
Of Judgment is at hand.
rrIt is not unfrequently that we
are called very hard names, by some
of our friends--it only amuses ms
when we hear them. "He is a fool,
"and he lies are common expressions
Using these appelations indiscrlmin-
ately involves metaphysical ethics
that have troubled the heads of phi.
| fosophers since the very earliest peri
cd. When a man calls another 9
fool he presupposes himselfto be aoise
and it is the business Of third person;
interested, to measure and weigh the
parties to find which of the two il
wanting"
The stoical problem has never beer
solved. 1t reads thus:
when a man says 1 lie does he
lie or does he not ? If he lies, he
speaks the truth If he speak tht
truth, he lies" Many are the books
written on this wonderful problem
Crysipius favored the world with NJ
less than six Philetus studied himsel
to death in his vain cndeavors to solve
it.
