A Hundred Years too Late,

The Newcastle, England, Chronicle, of
the Goth March, says:
"When, in 1854, one of the earliest
friends OF the Newcastle Chronicle sent
for.lnsertion the following advertisement,
he little dreamt over how long space of
time responding applications would be
made -:
WANTED, middle-aged woman (who
has been servant in genteel families, and
can b. we'll recommen led for her honestly
to take care of single gentleman house
in the country. She must undertake
cooking AMI setting out the table. A
gardener is also wanted, who, having but
u small garden to take care of, will be ex.
pectcd to assist occasionally in the house
or stables, IT man and wife can un-
dertakc lho above places, provided they
are not encountered with children, il will
be more agreeable. Apply TO ,hs priht'
of this paper"
Yesterday, in celebration Of the ceutc.
nary of the Chronicle, we distributed
among our subscribers reprints Of No. ],
first published on the I'D Of March, 1854;
and of the twenty nine advertisements
which it contained, the foregoing stood at
the head. The sheet had not been re-is-
sued many hours, when a respectable,
orthy.lookiug couple, entered the pub
fishing Office, and advancing to the coun-
ter, iDnocently inquired the address OF the
"siuge gentleman" All the establish
ment was at fault. Its "oldest inhabi-
tant' could not remember the name of
the advertiser. The rustic bachelor was
unknown. No account stood against him
in the books of the Office They had
written over him, Non est. He was clean
gone-he, bis genteel house and small
gardcn-all were forgotten. And the
honest applicants who offered themselves
yesterday so unexpectedly to his call,
were apprised, to their establishment, that
they were hundred years too late.

g1n A flash of lightning once discov-
cred an inexhaustible treasure. Near the
city of Paz, in Peru, stands mountain,
which the natives call Telemiui On this
mountain flash of lightning, discharging
itself, forced crag from its girdle; which,
falling on the side of hill, discovered
such an immense quantity of gold in frag-
ments, says Ulloa, that gold, for some
time, sold at Paz even so low as eight
pieces of eight per ounce. A treasure of
this kind would seem to promise mex
haustible wealth to the proprietors of the
mountain; but the part whence this crag
was severed is so entirely covered with
snow aud ice, during the whole year, that
they have never been able to derive any
other benefit than in the first instance.

INDIAN AND EUROPEAN ORAToRY.--
A red Indians delivery, when speaking,
is deliberate, slow and mouotonous, almost
as if thinking aloud, and the punctua.
tons are very strongly marked, and very
long; their action is very fine, and they
use great deal of it. They display IA
vorable contrast to European orators, in
never interrupting one another by word
or look, even though the speaker may DO
uttering sentiments quite opposite to
those of his audience, or even things they
all know to be untrue, and could refute
still he is always listened to with apparens
respect aud attention, and when he has
sat down, although, perhaps, there may DO
dozen who are burning to contradict or
agree with him, they sit few minutes, as
if meditating on what has been said, and
then rise with the greatest delberation,
always giving way to the eldest. Certain.
ly council of Indian chiefs is generally
conducted with more decorum and self-re.
spect than most public meetings in moro
civilized countries.

Anecdote of Lorenzo Dow.


1t is said that at one time when Loren.
20 Dow preached under large sprace
pine tree in South Carolina, he announced
an appointment for preaching in the same
place on that day twelve months. The
year passed, aud as Lorenzo was entering
tie neigbborhood the evening previous to
the appointment, he overlook negro boy
who was blowing long tin horn, aud
could, as / have often beard them, send
. forth blast with rise, and swell, aud ca.
dence, which walked the echoes of the
distant hills.
Ovcrtnking the blower, Dow said to
him
whats your name, sir p
"My name? Gabriel, sir" replied the
negro.
"We!l Gabriel, have you ever been to
Church HiI?'
ayes, mas,a, Use been dar many o
time"
"Do you remember big spruce pine
tree on that hill p
90, yes, massa, | know dat pine"
'Did you know that Lorenzo Dow had
40 appointment toNpreach under that tree
Tomorrow p
. 20, yes, massa, eberybody knows dat.'
"Wesl, Gabriel, / am Lorenzo Dow !;
and if you will take your horn and 60 to-
morrow morning, and climb up into that
pine tree, and hide yourself among the
branches before the people begin to gath
err, and wait there till call you by name,
and then blow such blast with your
horn as heard minute ago, I'll. give
you dollar. Will you do it, Gabriel p
eyes, massa, | takes dat dollar"
Gabriel, like Zaccheus, was hid away
in the tree top in due time. An I'M
mense concourse of people of all sizes and
colors, assembled at the appointed hour,
and Dow preached on the judgment of the
great day. By his powers of description
he wrought the multitude up to the open
ing of the resurrection and the grand as
sizes, at the call of the trumpet peals
which we're to wake the sleeping nations
"Thsn," said he, suppose, my dying
friends, thsl this should be the hour !;
suppose you should hear at this moment
the sound Of Gabriers trumpet y
Sure enough, at this moment the trum-
pet of Gabriel sounded.
The women shrieked, and many faint
cd; the men spraug up, and stood aghast.
Some ran others knelt down and cried
for mercy; and all felt, for time, that
the judgment was sent and the books were
opened. Dow stood and watched the dri-
wing storm until the fright abated, and
some one had discovered the negro angel
that caused the alarm, quietly perched on
limb of the old spruce tree, aud wanted
to get him down to whip him, and then
resumed his theme, saying:
81 forbid all persons touching that ne
gro up there. If negro with q tin horn
can Brighten you almost out of your wits,
what will yo do when you hear the trum-
pet thunder of the archangel? How will
We be able to stand in the great day Of
the wrath of God |? He made very af
fecting application.

trouble ceremony at which king and

the names Of Georgiana Charlotte! As
CORVALLIS gave back the infant to her

How LONDON is FED.-Wheu we re-.
feet on the immense population of Lon.
don-three millions-one wonders how
they are fed. And yet, day after day,
the law of supply and den,and--a law
framed by no legislature aud embraced in
no code-regulates this. These millions
arc fed. Some one, few years since,
entered iu:o some curious calculations on
this subject He estimated it would re-
quire drove of cattle seventy-two miles
long, travelling ten abreast, to supply Lon.
don with beef one year; and flock of
sheep, travelling In the same manner, one
hundred and twenty miles Icing. But his
estimation Of beer was most startling--one
thousand columns of hogsheads, each 'ons
q mile long.

Parental Love.

You never DID anything to make your
children love you, and you cannot but be
aware that the moment they were removed
from your authority, you lost all influence
over them Why could you not reclaim
that boy of yours, who madly became a
reprobate, and disgraced your home and
tortured your heart? Because you had
never made him love you, or given him
better motives for self restraint than your
own arbitrary will. He had been govern
ed from the outside, and never from the
inside; and when the outside authority
was gone, there was nothing left upon
which you had power to lay your hand.
Why did your daughter elope with one
who was not worthy of her? She did it
simply because she found a man who
loved her, and gave her the consideration
due to her as woman-a love and con-
sideration which she had never found at
home, where she was regarded by you as
the dependent servant of your will. She
was nothing at home; and, badly as she
married, she is better, and freer, and
a happier woman than she would have
been bud she continued with you.
l wish to impress upon you the convic-
ton that these children of yours went
astray, not in spite Of your mode of family
training, but in consequence of it. If |
should wish to ruin my family, | would
pursue your policy, and be measurably
sure of the desired result.-Dr. Holland

denied his identity. In his trunk was a

to try it on, aud, although it really
was made for him, the tailor had so bluu-
dercd that the coat WAS found to be too
large, and the bandits accepted the Colo

they had intended, if he had been proved
to be of'the military percussion.
