meetlng OF Tue ~ cSieydN .n
ionary Society, the Rev R
Young, of Truro, mentioned q
very remarkable fact that had
taken place at Cornwall:
Two men were working togeth-
rim nine, and having prepar-
ed to blast the rock, and laid the
train, the latter became by acci-
dent ignated. In few nom-
ents a tremendous explosion,
they knew, was inevitable, and
the rock must be rent in thous-
and pieces. On perceiying their
danger, they both leaped into the
bucket, and called to the man on
the surface to draw them up Lilo
endeavored to do so, but his arm
was found too feeble to raise tie
bucket while both lhe men were
in it. What was to be done9
The burning fuse, which could
not be axtlnguished, was now
within few feet of the powder;
q moment or two, and the ex-
plosion took place. At this aw-
full crisis, one of the men adj
dressing the other, said HYou-
shall live, and | will die; for you
are an impenitent sinner, and if
you now die your soul will be
lost, buff | die, | know by the
grace of the Lord jesus Christ,
shall be taken to himseIf."-
And so saying, without waiting
for q reply, he Ieaped ont of the
bucket and pray eriully waited
the result. On The other reach-
ing the surface, he bent over the
shaft to ascertain the fate OF his
companion. At that moment a
terrific explosion was heard; a
portion ot the rock was ilrOwh
up, and smote him on the fore
head; leaving an indelllbie MARI
To remind ntm oil his danger and
denverance. But the man oil
God, when they came to search
tor him, he was found arched
over by the fragments OF broken
ROCK lii the NINE, unlnlured and
rejoicing in the Lord. This
magnanimous miner exhibited
in hIs act an amount OF dlslnter-
ested love and charity whichhas
seldom been equaiied, and is
never found but III connection
with The love OF CnrISt. Here
is none vi that unholy daring OF
which we have Instances among
the heroes OF Greece and Eome,
who acluated solely by a love
Of notorlety. inflicted upou them
selves tortures, and even death;
but that pure Christian charity,
which at all hazards, even at Tie
sacrifice OF lie Itself, seeks To
save the immortal soul OF man
This is tile kind OF charity we
have This day TO elicit, 10 slrenss-
then and to direct, and Without
it is impossible that The objects
of missionary enterprise can be
accomplished.

THE PROSPECTS OF Mr., FREMONT IN oALIFoR-

&
Thefollowing article Is taken from the Morning Globe
Of San Francisco Of the 10th Of August fully explains
the prospects Of Mr. Fremont in California It Is nohow
different from what we had expected:
" Fremont receive the vote of California, be-
cause his private aud party interests directly opposed TO
the naming and laborg classes The miners do not wish 10
concentrated in the hands Of individual claims that
large extent Of territory and they will not vote for
any who, the moment he has the power, win that
to Cypress them in their dearest rights All their
mining rules and regulations tend solely to prevent
oily that would eventually make them white slaves Of
landed interest.
Fremont, with his notorious Marposa grant and we'll
known connection with land spectators every hue makes
him particularly obnoxious mining unity AS we

cultivate the soil without being by Fumped-
up fraudulent grants forced to buy title from who
are little better than thieves. #@M.w
"Highwaymen who rob you of few dollars are punished
by law. To what vengeance them should be condemn

nopoly that takes the bread out Of your moutha ?
