A Remarkable Narrative.

The following narrative Is a welI-au-
then,icaled fact One day, as Robert
Fleming, of Amsterdam, was preaching
TO his congregation there, lie observed
three young men among the audience,
whose behavior was in the highest de-
gree indecorous. The minister, obser-
wing that The conduct was continued, re-
proved them therefore, and desired that
in an assembly gathered for such a Pur-
pose, they should at least maintain de-
cent behavior. This gentle admonilon
seemed rather to increase than TO abaic
their misbehayior and they continued
peeling oranges, cracking nuts, and dis
torling their faces at the minister. Rob
ert Fleming was compelled "A second time
10 admonish them, at which they appear,
ed still more enragcd than before, persIs l.
ing in their conduct, and manlesty be-
coming more iucorrigible.
The worthy minister seemed so shock
ed at their hardened behavior, that in the
midst of The discourse he made solemn
pause, and an awful one too, "prophellc
of their end" He turned and looked
them full in the face for some lime, apPa-
renlly with much internal agitation. At
length he addressed them in the follow
ing words, and in most impressive
manner and tone "My young friends,
am very sorry 10 be the bearer of such a
dreadfuIIy alarming message TO you, and
have begged the Lord to excuse me
from it, but he will not therefore, must
not shrink from The painful duty Of dec
laring the awful and confirmed impression
on my mind. Inow tell you that you
have not week longer TO live in this
world ~ This dreadful sentence. pro-
ceedng from a man, somewhat excited
the doubtful apprehenslOns OF the congre-
CATION, who thought it was the ebuI!IuOn
of precipitancy and rashness and some
OF his intimate friends were of the opin-
ion that religion would suffer scorn and
contempt, especially if the prediction
should not be verified. The minister ad-
ded, "Let the event prove the truth Of il I;
for am persuaded | was moved by the
Spirit of God 10 say and affirm what did
as prophetic Of their end"
Monday passed and nothing occurred !;
but on Tuesday one Of the young men
went on board a vessel to prosecute an
voyage, which was fixed Previ-
Gus 10 This affair; aud in consequence OF
a violent storm that arose, the ship was
driven on shore, and this unhappy youth
was launched into eternity.
On Wednesday another Of the young
men was concerned in quarrel with
some person, the issue OF which was
fighting duel with swords, wherein This
unhappy victim fell.
On Thursday the only surviving one
was suddenly taken i'll, at which he be-
gan 10 be terrified, as two Of his sinful
companions were already cut of. He
was desirous then to seud for tue same
minister whom he had ridicuied. When
tie minister arrived at the house, he ask
ed the young man what he wanted him
for The youth begged he would pray
for him. When the minister requested
to know what he would wish him to pray
for, he rel lied, For my life This
is not in my power to Do, reJoned the
minister, ''for am sure you will die. :"
said the youth, beg or pray for

THE COQUETTE'S VICTIM.
BY G. NJ. Russell.

Some months since, | left the gay me-

out from port, as soon as the supper table
was removed, lhe cabin floor was filled
with dancers.
Among the reve|ers was Miss Mary

was informed, but recently returned from

This was uttered in tone OF bitter

the dancers, accosted him "Surely'

bitter as ne riyeled his gaze on her for a
moment without replying. Their eyes
met; but turning deadly pale, she instant

from the saloon. Turning 10 me, he said :

And where would be the monarch

It's luslrouS decd and ways,
Like summer beauties when the sun
All golden roofs the day
For their are melodies that start
For labor's mighty chorus,
As ever th,iiled the human heart,
Fired with blaze of words.
The tailors shed their bitter tears
For friends and kindred gone,
YET grand as the thunder in the storm,
Sublimely struggle on.
The tyrants shed their fellows blood,
And talk of Heavens decree;
Then strike like murderers where a state
Is burning 10 be l'ee.

But let me feel the workers heart,
