AN AWFUL PROSPECT!
A writer in the Millerite paper of this city has given
,21 calculation to disprove a millenium before the res.
urrectinn,and he discovers, "by figures that cannot lie,"
that if The population of the earth goes on increasing,
through that period as fast as he thinks it will, if the
world stand so long, then, dreadful to contemplate,
there will be 18.037,886 inhabitants on each square
yard af the •earth's surface; and the mode of living he
expresses in the following classic language:
"Packpddown like pork, reckoning every three i itch
uiduals to occupy nine cubic feet, or one foot high on
every square yard, and we should have the cadre sur
face of every continent and island covered with living
inhabitants tea hundred and twenty-five miles deep,
andtheg raves of the previous generation only, upwards
of &ye hundred miles deep on the entire surface of the
land. It would also amount to 5,679,295 individuals
to every square yard on the entire surface of the globe,
or about three hundred and fifty miles deep of living in
habitants on the land and ocean."— Utica Gazette.

Show man, at the outset of your acquaintance, a Et
c!a courtesy— urt: him your opera-glass or your snuff
bar.,rwrite him what is called a civil note when there
is no absolute necessity for doing so, and he will trum
pet your praises as one of the most gracious of mankind.
Prozeed from small civilities to essential benefits; heap
fawn epon favor on him; go out of your way to evince
not anxiety for the promotion of his interest, the grati
fication of his desires; extend your disinterested kind
ness from himself to his family; get an appointment for
hi's eldest boy, and reconcile a high family to a match
with his daughter: invent a new hair dye expressly to
accommodate his wife, and lose a guinea a night to him
at whist, the whole season round; bind him more and
more tightly in obligations to you, and hoar him pro
claim you, nine times a day for nine years, the best
friend he everhad in tde world—the most generous of
mortals, the noblest of benefactors; and then, at the very
moment when he is - your own forever, ooh jest refuse
to lend him your gun, or yam: horse—or tell him that
you could not think of writing to the Review to selicit
n puff of his new pamphlet—dial's all! How, in such
a case, will the grateful fellow, to whom you have ren

THE BUTCFIEII. AND HIS CALF
A butcher, who had purchased a calf, sat with it on
a horse at a public house door, while a shoemaker, re
markable for his drollery, observing, and, knowine he
had to pass through a wood, otTered to the landlord to
steal the calf fur a glass of grog. The landlord agreed;
and the shoemaker set oft and dropped one slLie in
the path near the middle of the wood, and another a
quarter of a mile from it. The butcher saw the first
shoe, but did not think it worth getting dowofor haw
over, when be discovered the second, he thought the
pair would be r - nod accordingly dism
ted., tied hi - -

The butcher, missing his calf, Went back to the inn,
and told his misfortune, at the same time observing
that he must have another calf, cost what it would. as
the veal watt bespoken. The landlord told him he had
a calf in the barn, which he would sell him; the butch
er looked at it, and asked the price: "Give me the
same price you did for the calf you lost, as T think this
is full as large." The butcher would not allow it by
any means to be as good; but gave him within six shil
lings,of what the other cost, and accordingly put the
calfs second time across his horse. Crispin, elated
with bis success, undertook to steal the calf again fur
another glass of grog, which, being agreed to, he post
ed to the wood, and hid himself, where, observing the
butcher come along, he bellowed so like a calf, that the
:butcher, conceiving it to be the one he had lost, cried
with juy, `lh! arc you there?. have I found you at last?'
and immediately dismounted and ran into the woods.—
Crispin, taking advantage of the butcher's absence, un
-strapped :he calf, and actually gut bnck with it to the
publican before the butcher arrived to tell his mourn
lid tale, who attributed the kvhole to witchcraft. The
publican unravelled the whole mystery, and the. blucher,
after paying for, and partaking of; a crown's watt' of
punch i laughed heartily at the joke, and the shoema
' ker got great applause for his ingenuity.
THE HON. JAME 3 BUCHANAN AND THE

At a meeting of the friends of the Hon. James Bu

I,a pursuance of the above resolution we hereby give
nodce that a reg ular meeting of the friends of Mr. 13U
CHANAN will be held on Tuesday evening, N6vem-;

Travellers should select Boats provided with
Evan's Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of
Steam Boilers
IT would be well for the traveling community to
bear in mind that their security depends entirely
upon their own encouragement of boats that have or
may be at the expense of procuring the above appara
tus. And that every individual making such selec
tions is contributing towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all men who understand the
principles of the Steam Engine, to be a sure preventa
tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer
tainly, in the hundreds of explosions that have already
taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the
thousands of lives that have already been lost, a suffi
cient warning, and inducement to make inquiry for a
Safety guard Boat, and in evety case to give it the
preference. They have went to an additional expense
that your lives may be secure. Ought you not therefore
to meet them with a corresponding degree of liberality,
and by your preference show that you appreciate their
laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu
man life. They do not charge more than other boats;
their accommodations in other respects are equal, and
in many cases superior; and as there is one leaving
Pittsburgh every day, why will you run any risk, when
it is so completely in your own power to avoid those dis
asters.

Mr. J KlDD—Sir.—A child ofmine about 44 years
old, was constantly hxlispesed, and of pale complex

the child well, I bought a small bottle of McLane's Ver.

20 or 25 large worms were expelled. I Wish all Ger
