But even while he was uttering these words, the Book became radiant with a strange lustre, and glorned in his hands as a piece of pure silver well tried in the furnace of the refiner. He ceased. A dread silence pervaded the place. He was just about to drop the Book into the flames, when, not now in a whisper, but as in ten thousand thunders, the startling voice, "Beware!" fell upon his ears; and stumb ling on a foot of the altar, the old priest with a moan fell into the burning flames, and the Book Jell otfr the altar on the other side. A man, clad in a raiment "white as snow," swift as the lightning in his course, and altogether like the Son of Man, came bounding o'er the plain; his hsir streaming behind him, his eyes beam ing devouring fire, his right hand stretched our beforq him. The multitude trembled and began to quake like dying men. The crowd opened and scattered here and there, making way for the stranger; for none might withstand hitn. The Book still lay upon the ground; for of all the multi tude there was not one who dared to touch it, because it was now to them as a piece of molten silver, threatening destruction to the hand that was laid upon it. The ter ror-bringing stranger approached the altar. He takes up the Book-in his right hand, holds it up to the wondering multitude, and exclaims—"My Lord shall not pass away!" and in Hie same breath, to the priests, "follow your father!" One by one, the priests sink over the altar into the flames, the black, w iuged figures fly away shrieking, the "beautiful white robed one" smiles, and the trumpet of the archangel peals in solemn notes, "Come to judgment!" The black altar shape? itself into a beau tiful "white throne," the stranger sits upon it, the judgment is set. and the books are opened, and a great light shines round about. For the Gazette. WHO IS IIE? I am indebted to an acquaintance for a number of the " Miiroy Observer," a scurri lous little sheet that was published somewhere (uiay be not distant) expressly fur the citizens of Miiroy and Tieinity, and sent there in package form to be handed cut to the indi viduals for whom tliey intended, and to whom they wore addressed. If I mistake n jt. they madetheir appearance about a month ago. \ou, Mr. Editor, may have seen the scrolj, and noticed it. (if it claimed your no tice or was worthy of it.} Notwithstanding, I wish (with your permission) to notice it briefly, and the more particularly, because I am personally acquainted with a majority of those upon whom the vials of its harmless wrath are poured. Were all to whom those putrid pages came equally with myself ac quainted with the above named village and vicinity, a notice of the production would be unnecessary. How frequently are we led to regret that we are connected with these who can be so base as to grovel in filth : yea, who do violence to the proprieties of life; but, do we not blush—are we not ashamed of our race and mourn that we are of necessity com pelled to mingle with those, who, for a name, or because they cannot rule, will do the me nial work of the father of lies and rillify and calumniate a sister, a brother, a friend and neighbor, simply because they I'tfce latter) oc cupy positions in society that they , the for mer) never diJ, and without an aim mirac ulous moral reformation never will attain.— But by a decree of heaven the virtuous and morally filthy must mingle, to an extent, tiii the day for which "all others are made"—and it is right it i 3 so. Light is only effulgent when contrasted with the pitchy gloom of midnight's deepest shade. The sheet in question should have been dabbed Villifyer and Defamer. Its editor must certainly be an adept in crime, fur a norice could not dabble in the spew of the brothel with so much effrontery. He, no doubt, carries the mark of the beast in his forehead, and although he may not present the crime-scarred surface of a recently cap tured culprit, yt-i be bears about him the evi dences of guilt, and so glaring tuo, that the simple may say, that's he. A lettered man 1 he certainly is not, for his effusions bear the marks of illiteracy, and consequent verdancy, | and I would tell him that when he acts the plagiarist again he houl 1 get some one Letter qualified than be to insert his own intcrlarda tions. N w, the query Is, of what profession 1 is he? Is lie a rurasuc-krr, whose credit is j gone, as also character? I tru a- nut; for they ' are frequently above dishonorable conduct, j yea, generally. Is he a farmer? I hope not; for they are too conversant with nature's ' works to sin so wickedly against nature's God. Is he a mechanic"? I trow not; for their industrious habits give no time for go- ; ing into the service of the devil on so wide a scale, and their universal honesty forbids the thought that they could come down frurn their position to wallow in the spawn of the lowest ! blackguardism. Is he ape lagogu"? It can 1 not bt for the pupils of such a teacher had better be coup-J up in a small pox lazaretta; the latter might endanger the body, but the former the soul. Is he a member of some church? Yea, with ail his turpitude he may be : for if the " 1 welve" must number a Ju das, is it hkely that a church numbering from six'y to a hundred and fi*>y can be without one.' If he be a member, he finds he can't rule, then he will defame. " He stole the liv ery of heaven to serve the devil in." He seems to think he has reared a monument mere enduring than brass. Admitted ! "but, 0, if he be a man of family, is it not a pitv that the innocent may have to bear part of the opprobrium of that monumental pile whose shadow still lengthens. Mdroy and vicinity. Miiroy is a little village, pleasantly situated en the turn pike leaning from Lewistown to B>-llfonte, and containing some few hundred inhabitants. tL -uT e m V hree *° od stor <^ two well kept public booses that are a credit to the county Its citizens are made up prin cipally of mechanics and manufacturers who for strict morality may have equals, but few ' superiors. Each church has quite a large' congregation, which of course embraces the vicinity for miles, and I say it without the fear of an attempt at contradiction, that those churches embrace many that are the ! tali of the earth and whose religion is more than a seventh day exhibition. Yea, models of christian To say all were j such would be saying too much, but with other churches alike located they will favora bly compare. Now, sir, for morals of a high order, piety, intelligence, and general infor mation, Miiroy and vicinity are hardtoequal and difficult to excel. In this (though an , outsider) "I speak what I know and testify j to what I have seen." Still it has hanging to its skirts those leprous characters that are I concomitants of all towns, and whose turpi tude eventually throws them into the sewers from which exhale slanderers, backbiters, haters of good, 4c. But of those baleful in dividuals Milroy possesses but few. Now, sir, it is upon this christian community that this foul-mouthed defaruer has poured out the Tials of his venom. The individuals he has named are nearly all well known by the wri ter, and I do say that they are persons who stand high as christians, as meritorious citi zens, and as a part of the basis of all good society, without whom our glorious Common wealth would topple from its base and lay prostrate in the dust. But does not the edi tor of the Observer deserve a double weight of opprobrium for assailing the misses and schoolgoing boys of the place. Some of the misses known to the writer, belong to that class of which Mifflin county might well be proud, and which has raised to respectful no tice the Pennsylvania lady. The little boys and mi*ses defamed are admired by the go-d where known. O, shame, hast thou no blush? Although this editor wishes to divert attention by occasional divergencies, his principal aim is to bring into contempt and contumely the virtuous and actually worthy. If he be not a raving maniac, I say to him, read the epistle of Jude and appropriate. To the citizens I would say, that by the scalpel of the church or community, lop off this gangrenous excres cence ere the health of the former or the life of the latter be endangered. OMICROX.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Bul letin has been reviewing the receipts and ex penditures on the public works, and shows rery conclusively that, including interest on cost of construction, they are an annual loss to the State of about $400,000. To illus trate this we give some extracts, and as the Auditor General's and Canal Commissioners' Reports are in the hands of many of our readers, they can easily satisfy themselves of the discrepancies in the two reports. Last year (1836) for instance the Auditor General reported the expenses of all the public im provements, as follows: Expenses, $1,943,896 82 Damages paid, 55.2&1 21 Old debts paid, 130,312 09 $2,116,690 12 The Canal Commissioners return ed the expenses at, 1,076,635 14 Difference between the two, $1,040,004 98 This discrepancy is caused by the former officer including all expenditures in his state ment, and the latter including only particular portions. If all of what is charged by the Auditor General to construction account be deducted ($440,892 30 on the Main Line), the disparity is still one-half a million of dollars. Likewise, the expenses of the Main Line in 1856, according to the Auditor Gen eral ( excluding the above $449,842 30, and counting only motive power and repair ex penses, payment of lock-keepers, collectors, &e., of the Canal Board, if damages and of old debts), is $1,212,536 80 According to Canal Board, 840,377 03 Deficiency, $372,159 77 Caused by the suppression, bv the Board, of items of expenditure actually made but not deemed advisable to include. Managing in this way, they make the nett profits of the Main Line in ISSG $382,596 42—including all the payments, except construction, the nett profits are reduced to $10,436 75; and to bring this result, it is necessary to exclude ail reference to the $268,396 76 spent on the new track of the Columbia Railroad, the $181,495 74 spent on the new Portage, and the interest on the $10,472,634 15, reported in 1854 a3 the then cost of the Main Line! A brief comparison between the figures furnished by the Auditor General's report and the Canal Commissioneis in previous years will show that this fraud of reporting "profits" on the public works to the tax pay ers has been practised fur a lor.g time. The latter officers represent the revenue of the Mala Line in 1855 at $1,118,217 70, the expenditures at $915,832 8-5. The Auditor General reports the moneys paid out on the Main Line in 1855 as follows: Construction, $5;0.645 64 Mutice I'oxcer, 5:*2.552 43 Rrpairs, 335.371 51 Lock keepers, 31.417 00 Damages, 8,C33 50 Collectors, Ac., 34,339 10 Canal Commissioners and incidentals. 7,154 12 Deduct work on new Portage road, 453,115 02 Expenses of Main Line, $1,133,289 29 Expenses reported by Canal Commissioners, 915,832 65 Difference, $217,456 43 Total expenses, $1,133,289 28 Total receipts, 1,108,217 70 Exce-s of expenditures over re ceipts, according to Auditor General's report, $25,071 58 This is very different from the $202,384 85 of nett profits, of which the Canal Board speak in their report. And be it rememliered, this calculation excludes the work on the new Portage, excludes the interest on the cost, and includes simply the payments upon the Liuc. Counting the interest paid, the Com monwealth's loss in 1855 from the ownership and management if the Main Line, was be tween eight and nine hundred thou.-and dol lars. In 1854, the Canal Commissioners reported the revenue from the Main Line, $1,179,010 17; the expenditures, $945,886 13—nett prof it, $233,142 04. How true this is, may be seen fruttho report of the Auditor General, giviug all the payments made on the Line for that year. Construction, $615,812 01 JMotire Power, 756,199 07 Repairs, 383,584 87 Lock-keepers, 26,261 50 Damages. 30 ; 916 85 Collectors, 34,617 *4 Canal Commissioners' Office, 5,824 72 Deduct am't spent on new Portage, 454,141 38 Amount spent on Main Line, 1,401,1(75 33 Am't reported by C. C. as spent, 945,e*58 13 Differenoe between the two statements, If the amount spent on re-laying the track of the Columbia road be subtracted, the Ca nal Board's statement would still be $293,- 536 92 below the truth. Am't spent on Main Line in 1854, exclusive of work on new Por tage, $1,401,075 38 Receipts reported by C. C., 1,179,010 17 Balance against the Line for "54 , 222,065 21 This is also exclusive of interest on the cest of the work, and represents enly the money actually paid out that year. Inclu ding the interest, the loss would prove to have Leen over one Million of Dollars, instead of the $233,142 04 the Canal Board were dreaming about. A similar reference to the boeks for 1853 shows that the Main Line did not clear the $352,862 32 claimed for it by the Canal Board. They reported the expenditures at $1,021,470 17. The Auditor General reports the total expenditures at $2,124,265 30. Ex cluding work en the new portage, they were $1,516,419 76, and excluding the entire amount charged to construction, $866,048 47, the expenditures are reported by the Auditor General at $1,258,216 83, or $236,740 6o more than the amount reported by the Canal Commissioners. Iristsad of the Main Line clearing $352,862 33 the figures stand thus: spent on new track Columbia Road, locomotives, motive pow er, repairs, lock-keepers, collec tors, damages and Canal Com missioners, $1,482,185 91 Receipts from Main Line 1,021,470 17 Balance against the line, $460,715 47 To secure the alleged profits, the Canal Board exclude from expenditure! the money ■equired for re-laying the track of the Cul lumbia Road, for new locomotives, for dama ges incurred, etc., Ac. In 1852 the Canal Commisioners reported the profits of the Main Line at §485,561 18, and fixed the expenditures at $906,088 26. These the Auditor General's Report shows to have been $1,480,340 20, or $908,551 02, ex clusive of the entire construction account. Including the amount paid for re-laying the track of the Columbia Railroad, The expenditures were $1,199,154 99 Receipts of the line, 1,391,647 44 Apparent profits, $192,494 52 Against which are to be charged sundry debts created and not paid. On page seven of their Report for 1853, the Canal B.ard ask for an appropriation to pay $84,677 52 of debts contracted in 1852; and others were developed in subsequent years. In addition, no estimate is made for deterioration of stock, for replacing which heavy payments were made necessary, though always omitted by the Board; and ail reference to interest paid is emitted. Including these offsets, the appareut profits dwindle to nothing and a heavy uccouut rises against the line.

If the directors can se cure 6oine one willing to devote his whole time and attention to the business daring the few months schools are kept open in the country, we think SSOO or S6OO a year would not be out of place ; hut if they cannot, the salary might as well be reduced to a few hun dred, as that sum would be ample pay f y r making a "flying risit" or two through the county, holding a few examinations, tuakißg out the statistical reports, and now and then patting a girl or boy on the back.
