C Mabv g Lee ’ A “MILLERITE” MIRACLE. ,n a l»Ul« v'll.iga in the Stale t»f Hoosierana, in the year 1844, there were “ all sorts” of ex citement concerning the doctrines and prophecies «>r that arch deceiver Miller. For months, the Midnight Cry. followed by the Morning Howl', and the Noonday Veil, had circulated "through the village and surrounding counties, to an ex tent not even equalled hy l)r. Duncan’s celebra ted Coon Speech. Men disposed of their prop erty (or little or nothing. 1 he women were pale and ghastly from watching and praying, and in laot, the whole population, or at least "those w-ho believed in the coming ascension, looked as if they were about half over a second attack ol the chills and fever. There were, however, some “choice spirits,” (not choice in theirs, however,) who, notwithstanding the popularity of the delusion, would not enlist under Ihe ban ners ot the ascensionisis, and among these was a wild, hanmi'searuin blade from “Down East,” hy the name of Cahe Newham. Now Cabe'was as hard “ a case” as you meet on the Fourth of July in IVxas, always alive for fun and sport ol any and every description, and a strong disbeliev er in Milleristn. The night of the 3d of April was the time agreed upon out West here, for the grand ex hibiliun of “ground and lofty tumbling,” and atmut 10 o’clock, of the said night, numbers ol tin: Millerites assembled on the outskirts of ihe town, on a little eminence, upon which ihe* pro prietor had allowed a few trees to stand. In the crowd, and the «nlv representative of his race present, was a free negro by the name of Sam, about as ugly, black, woolly, arid rough a descendant of Ham, as ever baked his shins by a kitchen fire. Sam’s head was small, body and arms very long, and Ins legs bore a remarkable resem blance to a pair of homes; in fact, put Sam on a horse, his legs clasped around its neck, Ins head towards the tail, and his arms clasped round the animal’s hams, and at ten paces off you would swear he was an old sell of patent gearing. The leader of the Millerites. owing to “an ancient grudge he bore him,” bated Sam “ like smoke,” and had done all in bis power to prevent Ins admittance among the “ elect,” but all to no purpose; Sain would creep in at every meeting, and to night here he was again, dressed in "a white robe of cneap cotton, secured to his body by a belt, and shouting and praying as loud as Ihe best. rvow on ihe morning of the do. Cabe had, with a deal of perseverance, and more trouble, man aged to throw a half inch hemp cord over the branch of an oak. which stretched Ms long arm directly over the spot where the Millerites would assemble ; one end lie had secured to the body ol a tree, anil the other to a stump some distance off. About 10 o’clock, when the excitement was getting about “ 80 lbs. to the inch,” Calie, wrap ped in an old sheet, walked into the crowd, and proceeded, to fasten in a secure manner as possi hie, the end of the rope to the back part of the belt which confined Sam’s “ robe”_succeeded and “sloped,” to join some of his companions who had the other end. The few stars in the sky threw a dim light over the scene, and in a few moments the voice was heard, exclaiming. *’ Gor Almighty! 1’se a goin up! Who-o oh!” and sure enough. Sain was seen mounting into the “ etherial blue ;” Ins ascent was, however, checked when he had cleared “ terra firma” a few feet. “ Glory !” cried one, “ IJall-lujah 1" another, shrieks and yells, made night hideous; some fainted, others prayed, and not a few drop ped their robes and “slid.” Now whether n was owing to ihe lightness of his head, or the length and weight of his heels, or both, Sam s P'Stlion was not a pleasant one ; the belt to which Gabe’s cord was attached, was bound exactly round his centre of gravity, and Sam swung like a pair of scales, head up and heels down, heels up and head down, and at the same time sweep ing over the crowd like a pendulum, which mo tion was accelerated by his strenuous clapping of hands, and vigorous kicking. At length he be came alarmed, he wouldn't go up,and lie couldn’t corne down! “ J,nr a Massy,” cried he, “jist take um poor nigger to um bosom, or lef him down again, ertty, tatty. Gor Almighty ! f/Pf him down again, please um f,ord, and dis nigger will go straight to um >wd ! Ugh h It ”—and Sam’s, teeth chattered with affright, and lie kicked again 1 more vigorously than before, bringing his head directly downward and his heels up, wficn a wo man shrieking out, “ ()h ! Brother Sam, take me with you,” sprung at his head as he swept by her. and caught him by the wool, bring him up nil standing." “Gosh! Sister." cried Sam,, lei go urn poor nigger's liar." Cabe gave an ! oilier pull at the rope, hut the additional weight i was too much, the hell gave way, and down i came Sam. his bullet head taking the leader of; i tin' saints a “ feeler just between the eves."' | “ (iosIi! is I down agin?" cried the bewildered Sam. gathering himself up, •* | js, hress de Lord ! but I was nearly dar, I seed de gates!" The' leader wiped his overflowing nroboscis, took Sain j bv the nape of tin* neck, led him to the edge of the crowd, and giving him a kick “a la poste riore. ’ said, “ Leave! you cussed baboon, you are so d—d ugly, I know'll they wouldn't lei you in!" C \ [> I' rom the Philadelphia Ledger. ANTIQUATED NONSEN§fc. Some cotemporary says. “Three members „f the L. S. Senate—Messrs. Cameron, Niles, and \Veslcoll—v\ero journeymen printers.” Well, what ol it ? A former Senator. Mr 1 lender son. was a Shoemaker; another. Mr. Nandain. a physician. A member of the present Senate, Mr. Simmons, is a cotton spinner. Many others are lawyers. Well, and what of all that too?_ To estimate the official merits of these "or any other Senators, we should try them by wl.at they are. and not by what they have l/een. |l they possess talent, knowledge, judgment and in tegruy, the occupation with which these qualities an? connected is not important; for they are equal 1\ creditable to the possessor, and equally useful to society, iu the field of the farmer, the shop of | the mechanic, the counting-house of the mer chant, the vessel of the navigator, the office of the lawyer or physician, the study of the cleroy man. the laboratory of the chemist. Even in the monarchies ol Europe, no royal road to distinction is found. The Emperor of Russia, the King of the French, the German and lialtan Princes, the Sultans and Pachas of Tur key and Egypt, pick up their servants wherever the} can find suitable qualities. Even in arislo crntic England, the majority of great men risr trom what is there called humble, life. Then in <iur republic, how thoroughly preposterous is re fere non to the occupations, presenior former, ol our distinguished public men. as something which • renders their elevation surprising? Those who declaim in praise ol our “ equal laws, which give to all a fair chance,” stultify themselves, when they express any surprise at beholding a mechanic in Congress. It these laws arc thus equal, and thus open the door of preferment to all talent, where is the wonder when people entei the door from any profession ? The Jaws having excluded arbitrary distinctions, peculiar judg" ment has toll control; and among an enlightened people, popular judgment always seeks to confer trust upon talent, knowledge and integrity._ lienee those who are surprised at finding printers in Congress, impliedly express surprise at finding talent, knowledge and integrity in a printer!_ I Away with such nonsense! j No occupation contains a monopoly of talent ; ‘ for ability and weakness are about equally dis j iributed among all. If then mechanics are not ; numerous in the Senate, the fault is their own in ; not cultivating their talents. Messrs. Cameron, j Niles and Wostcott have cultivated theirs, and inspired public confidence. And hundreds, if not ! thousands of printers can he found in the Union, j with talents equal to theirs. With thesamecul i tivation, they can deserve, if they cannot reach, i the same public confidence. If the Senate con j tains three printers, then three printers have cul j tivated their talents. And whoever supposed that nature was less bountiful in talents to prin , ters, than to men ot other occupations? Fudge! TREASONOUS. We hpard a Representative of the people “as sert the other day that if the Administration I pressed tli^ Settlement of the Oregon dispute, without a compromise on 49°, and "thereby en , dangering the peace of the country, as he claimed it would, a sufficient number would he found in the Senate to defeat any appropriation of money 1 l" l»“ ‘he country in a stale of defence, and in the event of hostilities, carry on a war.” : This is a very grave imputation, and hard of belief, hut recent developments go to show that when mild means will not avail To the opposition, they will be ready to act sneh reckless pari as the crisis will demand. The Queen of Britain has no abler supporter in hpr own dominions ol her interests here than Peel, hut she has in this Cnpiiul far abler advocates than he.— Washing ton Times. A Working Editor.—A rpal worker is Dr. Talbot, of the Northampton Democrat. In ins last paper in rpply to a suggestion of the Pal rner Sentinel, which wishes him to finish his “articles upon the history of coffee.” (and by the way we would join in the request of the Sen imel.) he says, *• At this time we are acting as Editor, publisher, foreman, apprentice, and Prin ' ter’s Devil, and working every day. as we are | now constantly doing either at the case or the press, and learning the printing basiness, we have • no leisure to attend to it. The only time we | have to fulfil our editorial duties, read our ex 1 changes, and perform our scissoring, is in the evening, after our regular ten hours' work.” Predestination.—The Providence Journal tells an anecdote of a very good old Connecticut deacon, who was attaching a very feeble pair ol oxen to a very large and heavy load of wood. A neighbor asked him how he expected to get so large a load to market with so poor a team The good deacon said he expected to have some assistance from Divine Providence. *• Would it not he as well” replied the neigh bor, •* to dispense entirely with the oxen, and ; let Divine Providence draw the whole load?’’ u-imxunnvr.'BuMawi . i-i-u.iiii i xi ■■mini 'll n iiiiuuj« I A III) A \ I) IIACO.V — 5000 lbs choice Floe Round It ICON, - 150 kegs So. 1, Lard.
