reports have been received of the landing there

eminent with constitutional basis, which has
been for many months prepared, and copy Of
which was long since forwarded to General
Concha. Fortunately for the Conuention, the
brig African, by which they came passengers,
could not land them upon Cuban soil, so that
they are safe from immediate danger. They
have already applied to the United States Con.
sui at Hayti for protection and the means of
subsistence--not q red cent in their pockets.
Oh! pstriotism-what humhug-the great
wire touchers remain in safety, while they send
out their dupes to make excuse for the plumber
which they pocket for their own subsistence,
that the world may continue to be cursed with
their baleful presence. The number of this

the conduct of those who were mOmentarily ex.
pecting to be summoned to the Judgment.
Among those who spoke at their meeting was
boy of some twelve or fourteen years, who
said he was prepared for and expected the i'm
mediate end of all things earthly yet, if it did
not come to pass they anticipated, he could
await the final summons with a calm and peace
full mind-let it be as long delayed as it might
"In the evening, the large room in the third
story of Wards building was occupied by the
disciples of Father Miller, and an audience of
some two hundred persons assembled The be-
levers did not appear as sanguine as formerly,
and before the evening was spent, Mr.. Flavel
announced that they had now arrived at the
conclusion that the conclusion of earthly affairs
was not so near at hand as they had supposed
but it would take place, of a certainty, within
forty days. They had thought it would occur
on Easter Sunday, because It was on the day
that Napoleon fell, but they now thought it
would occur at the end of forty days, the ami
yersary of the day when Christ appeared, after
his resurrection, to his disciples. The speaker
said no doubt the world would laugh at them,
and heap derision upon them, but they could bear
it all. They were dead to the world, their be-
lief having taken all the life out of them. They
cared not for the things of this world
SDuring the day, all sorts ofrumors in relation
to these deluded people prevailed throughout
the city. One was, that they expected to ascend
from the roof Of certain named houses; and an.
other, that they could hold meeting on the
Park in the evening. Persons who assembled
in these places to get sight at the Millerites
were, however, disappointed"

A POWERFUL EFFoRT.-Some years
ago, IN the New Hampshire Legislature,
new member somewhat noted for
pumping thunder" made speech--it
was upon bill for taxing bank divi-
dends. in which he attempted to be very
p,lthetic in favor Of the widows whit
owned bank stock. %
Eyes, Mr.. Speaker" he exclaimed.
with indignant energy, "the gentleman
from Dover, who introduced this bill,
deaf to the cries Of her orphan children,
would strip the widow" but before he
could conclude the sentence, he was in
terrupted by laugh. Astonished, but
undaunted, Re exclaimed, with profound
feeling:- @@
"Gentlemen, il is not subject Of de-
rision! Iappeal l to you in all candor, to
say if it is not worse than stripping. Put
or this tax, and you will drive the widow
to her last shift" g
Shouts of laughter here petri6ed him in
his place, and he spoke NO more dnring
the session.

A Story as is a Story.

The reader is expected to believe the
following story in every particular:
When a young man, I was travelling in
western New York, and late Of stormy
night applied at log cabin for lodging.
The occupant. woman refused it, say
ing her husband and sons were out hunt
ing and if they found me there would
murder me. preferred the chance to
the storm, and she consented that I might
lie down before the fire. In the night I
heard them coming and scrambled up the
chimney. Thinking I was safe, when at
the top. I stepped over the roof, and jump
ing down at the back Of the cabin, struck
plum into wolf trap. A scream ofpain
from me brought the men and boys out,
and they swore deserved more severe
punishment than death; so they kept me
both in the trap aud in suspense until
morning and then headed me up in
hogshead, with no light or air but the
bung hole, then putting me on sled drove
some four miles up hill, and then roll
ed me off to starve. This undoubtedly
should have done, but for single occur
renee. The wolves smelled me out and
gathered around my prison, when one
of them, in turning around, happened to
thrust his tail in the bung hole. I caught
a firm hold. and held on like death to a
nigger, which frightened the wolf OF course
and he started down the hill followed by
the hogshead and me. 1t was very un-
easy ride over the stones and stumps; but
l had, no idea how long it was until the
hogshead striking stone fairly. the slaves
worn by long travel. were broken in.and
Jumped out and found myselfaway down
in the lower end Of Cattaraugus county
some thirty miles from the scene Of disas'
ter. .- ~, t.,...l. s..
