Hear one of Coughs Appeals.

John B. Cough, the celebrated temper.
ance lecturer, who has returned to the Uni.
ted states, from visit to his native Eng.
land, related in one of his recent speeches,
the following anecdote:
John Maynard was well known in the
Lake District as God d-fearing, honest, in
telligent pilot. He was pilot on steam
er from Detroit 10 Buffalo one summer af-
ternoon. AT that time, those steamers
seldom carried boats. Smoke was seen
ascending from below, and the captain cal
led out, Simpson go down aud see what
that smoke is" Simpson came up with
his face as pale as ashes, and said-'Cap-
tain the ship is on firer then fire! fire!
fire! fire on shipboardr All hands were
calledup. Buckets of water were dashed
upon The fire but in vain. There were
large quantities of rosn and tar on board,
and it was useless to attempt to save the
ship. The passengers all rushed and in.
qulred of the pilot, How far are We from
Bufalo?' Seven miles How long be-
fore we reach itr Three quarters of an
hour, at the present rate of steam. is
there any dangerP Danger here-see the
smoke bursting out! go forward, if you
would save your livesr passengers and.
crew, men, women and children, crowded
to the forward part of the ship. John
Maynard stood at the helm. The flames
burst forth in one sheet of fire; clouds of
smoke arose; the captain cried through his
trumpet-John MaynardP AYE, aye,
sirp Are You at the heinz AYE. aye,
SIR How does she head?' South east

FAITH EXTRAoRDINARY.-ln GAINESVILLE
we have many colored people, who live by
barbering and other light work. They are
for the most part an orderly and quiet
people, many of them being religious,
having church of their own, and sable
minister, of all of which they are justly
proud.
One cold evening, in time of great re-
vival in the church, THE ebony expounder
was delivering powerful appeal upon
"Faith; )" the groans and sobs of his hear
ers gave token of its effect upon his own
dark cheek, his voice quivered line distant
thunder, when he emphasized his words BY
vigorous blows upon the table. In the
midst of all this, the stove, agitated by
his jarring blows, rolled over the floor
Brother Lewis, high man in the church,
had located himself near the comforter of
shins; be stood iresolute, when the voice
of his minister came to him laden with
faith. "Pick dp de stove, brudder Lewis,
pick up de stove, de Lord won't let it burn
you." Brother Lewis mind was filled
with miracles of faith he had that evening
heard, SO he yielded to the appeal of his
preacher, grabbed the hot stove, dropped
it Instant y, and turning bis reproachfuI
eyes to the disciple of faith, exclaimed,

D AND The D.-Vanity Fair publishes
the humorous reply made by Judge Doug
las at little town in Vermont, where the
crowd assembled at the depot and gave
three hearty cheers for Lincoln. Douglas
smilingly said:
"Fellow citizens: In his absence feel
called upon to respond to that compliment
to my friend Lincoln. Whatever of cred
it is due to him feel right TO claim an
interest in it, for he and belong TO the
same State. am his friend and he is my
friend; and you, the partisans of Mr.. Lin
coin, should be my friends; for if it had
not been for me you never would have
known him as candidate for the Presi-
dency." The effect of this happy turn
was electrical, and called forth rapturous
applause, the Republicans joining loudly
in it.

GREAT CRoP OF ApPLEs.-The apple
crop is so abundant that the Eastern
growers are at loss to know what to do
with their fruit. The Boston Courier
speaking of the immense yield, says:
The land is full of apples. Every or
chard has produced abundance. 1t has
been great year of plenty; and ifapples
would only keep as grain keeps, we should
have enough OF this years product to
supply us through seven years apple fam
inc. But unfortunately they perish with
the year in which they were grown. and
the question is an important one with far
mer, what shall we do with the apples?-
They can't be marketed, fourth Of them.
The markets are glutted. Many farmers
are glad to take dollar barrel for pick
ed fruit. Thousands of barrels can be
bought at that rate in the immediate VI
einlty of Boston. Fifty cents a bushel at
retail, would secure sales of more than four
times the average annual sales of the last
ten years. and doubtless the price will come
down 10 that.
The New York market is also said to
be overstocked with apples beyond all pre-
cedent, and the ''oldest inhabitant" declares
that he never saw the like. The Tribune
says:
Considering the excellent quality Of
of much of the fruit offered, it is really
wonderful. At the present time choice
apples from Western New York will scarce
ly sell for enough to cover cost Of the bar
rel, freight and commission.
Apples are very scarce in New Orleans,
and sell at fabulous prices.

EEvery drop Of milk brought into
Paris is tested at the barriers by the lacome-

guilty of diluting it-if so the whole of it
is remorsely thrown. into the gutter. The
Paris milk is very pure in consequence. If

of large placard in his window, setting

CULTIVATION OF TEMpER-If happily
we are born of good nature; if liberal
education has formed US a generous dispo-
sition, well regulated appetites and worthy
inclinations, it is well for us and so we es.
TEEN it. But who is it that eudeavors to
give these to himself, or to advance his
portion of happiness in this kindl Who
thinks of improving, or so much preserr-
ing his share, in world where it must of
necessity run so great hazard, and where
we know an honest nature is so easily cor
ruptedl All other things relating TO US
are preserved with care and have some act
of economy belonging to them; this which
is nearest related to US, and on which our
happiness depends, is alone committed TO
chance; and temper is the only thing un-
governed, while it governs, all the rest.

Rev. Anthony Bewley.

We have heretofore published the fact
that the above named Methodist Clergy
man was hung by the Pro- Slavery mob in
Texas, Since then the report has been
contradicted, and Northern Democratic pa
pers have been very busy in charging the
first report as Republican "roorback."
The news, however, is now confirmed as
follows: -.l f..
Rev. H. w. South, clergyman Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, writes the
Texas Christian Advocate as follows, full
ly confirming the report of the murder Of
the Rev. Anthony Bewley, of the Method
ist Church, by pro-slavery mob in Texas
EDITOR ADVOCATE Il was in the vicin-
ity of Fort Worth yesterday, and since my
last trip up to this region ofcountry things
have undergone change, which makes it
strictly necessary for me to write you these
hasty lines, that you may be fully set right
in your information from this country. /
see in your paper of September 9th, an
extract from letter from me in relation
to Rev. Mr.. Bewley of Fort Worth noto-
riety. At the time 1 wrote, gave you
what were the facts at my late visit to Fort
Worth vicinity. But wrote after return
ing to Alta Spring, over hundred miles
from Fort Worth. I now find on this Wis.,
it TO this county, that since l was here be-
fore, the said Mr.. Be,oley a0as followed to
to the vicinity of Springfield, No., taken
and brought back to Fort Worth, and on
the 18Th of September, 1860, acas hung on
the same limb Of the tree on Which Mr..
Crawford had been hung before. The
letter found near Fort Worth and published
in your paper some time ago, was certainly
addressed to Rev. Mr.. Bewley. 1t is fur
ther said here, that the son-in-law of Mr..
Sewley, Rev. Mr.. Willett, has been taken
in Missouri, and is now on bis way back
to Fort Worth, where be will hang on the
same limb. This part of information is
by letter from the eastward to a gentle
man in Fort Worth. The information in
relation to Mr.. Bewley is true. l regret
that the thing has got into confusion. At
the time l was here prior to this, l wrote
the facts. But he has been brought back
since, and was hung, suppose, about the
date of my letter to you, or perhaps few
days prior to that time. You, however
have the precise in this, of his execution,
and think there is but little doubt that
Rev. Mr.. Willett is on his way back-a
few days will determ inc that-if he is, he
will certainly hang on the same tree.
