There is a deeply interesting description in the "Miner's Song," and the truth of the de scription shows how prompt genious is to seize upon events and scenes around it, and mould them to the purposes of "song :" MIXER'S SOXO. BY MRS. JULIET It. L. CAMIT.Kt.L. Old Mother Earth, within thy breast thou'st hoar ded many a day, The treasures that thy restless sons, full fain would bear away ; Jewels, within thy silent cave, concealed their latent glow, And ore in fearful treasuries, was garnered long ago. Unlock thy dreary caverns Earth, and yield the previous hoard Thy sons demand the heritage, which Time and thou have stored; Give, give, we seek these gloomy depths with peisevering toil, To bear unto the outer world the riches of thy soil Give, give, we dare to rifle thee, and boldly brave thy wrath, Although destructions ministers are grouped a- round our path. Oh! breezes, rife with happy sounds, and the sweet breath of flowers, Are wantoning in verdure, 'round those upper homes of ours; And there, the blessed light of heaven, pours down in radient flood, On sportive babes, and meek-eyed wives, who muse in sadder mood ; They muse on us, those wives of ours; blanched cheek and brow of care, May well become them, when they think of all we do and dare. The parting kiss of morning, which in health and hope we gave, May be the last, and eventide may furnish us a grave For face to face with Death we stand, and oft be fore have stood, While Peril grimly stocks behind, with ber re lentless brood. Hark ! boom ! and boom ! a mighty sound through thy recesses fl y. And cavern roars to cave agian, with thunder mouthed reply ; All shattered are thy rugged sides by such a mighty blast, And gleaming fragments of thy wealth, in show ers are round us cast. Ho! what is this? a mangled form with features none may trace Affection cannot recognise the mutilated face ! He was our brother! side by side we toiled, in days by gone Bear him away then mournfully, and let the work go on. Ah! what a flash! its lurid gleam, one moment did illume The riches of these darksome depths, revealing deeper gloom ; Speak, comrades, is it well with all T your loud responding shout Upon my apprehensive ear, like some glad peal rings out, But as the bell's gay chime is merged in funeral toll, The memory of a missing voice cotnes rushing o'er my soul. The "Jire-damp" claims its fearful tithe of all who hither come, Then seek the victim, bretherr, and bear him to his home ! Listen ! the gurgling far-ofTsound of water strikes mine ear. And now a loud, tumultuous rush, announces it more near Fly! would you see your homes again? there is no hope save flight ! The maddened torrent pours along in its resist less might, Dashing aside impeding rocks, and hurling bar riers down, And filling to the very roof; oh God! oh God! we drown ! Oh Earth I and Air ! oh Fire and Flood ! we da. red to brave tby wrath, E'en though destruction's ministers were group ed around our path, And the indignant elements, in mighty league combine, . To sweep from this, their daik domain, the in vader of the mine! ' Pottsville, March, 1848. A Joke roE Printers. The N. Y.

Having to deal with all aocta of character, and being confined for many day, in my office, in the dullest details of business, it is a groat relief somtinies to meet with an odd genius who breaks up the monotony of life, and has his own story to tell. Not long ago I was favored with a call from two persons in one day, of singular description, and they were the last two I ever expected to meet The first was a Yankee from Worcester, Massachusetts. He was alrmg, lean, shabbily dressed fellow but I'll stop and give you a more particular description. About three o' clock in the morning, I heard a thundering knocking at the door, by which 1 knew a stran ger wss there, for all Italians ring a bel! when there is one to ring. The servant opened the door, and ushered in the stranger. He seemed to be a young man, not more than eight and twenty tall, lean, most particularly lantern jawed, and what the Yankees call bony. He had on on a pair of cow-hide shoes of an enor mous size, into the soles of which not less than a half a pound of horse-nails hod been driven, if I could judge by the clattering his feet made on the marble floor, as he came in. Between his shoes and the bottoms of his pantaloon, (no small distance,) were clearly visible a pair of Yankee knit, mixed wool socks, and still a lit tle above the sr eks which hod fallen down a lit tle over said shoes, was visible quite a piece of a very lean and somewhat hairy leg. Since I have begun nt the bottom to describe my hero, I will go up, and end where common historians begin--at the heod. But really the feet were the moet conspicuous things about his per son. His pantaloons were of home-made bottle green woollen, and cut by some body who was not particularly lavished of cloth, for they set as tight to his skin as they could conveniently. His vest, which did not come down quite to his pantaloons; was "linsey-woolsey" fabric, with a standing collar and large brass buttons which had probably been used for a coat. He had on a cotten shirt, (unbleached,) and around his neck a high black patent leather stock, and on his head, hair sealskin cap. If you will in addi tion to this description, picture to yourself a face unshaven for a month, of the most undes cribible solemnity and sternness, you have the man. As he entered, he came up to me with his cap Mill on his head, and pulled down over his earn, and said, "Re you the United Slates counsel V Yes, Sir." "Well, I'm a prophet of God, mi rny world ly name is . was born in Wor cester in old Massachusetts, twenty-right years ago, or thereabouts. I lived in sin and iniqu'ty like all the rest of the folks in Worcester, till nigh three years sgo, when the Almighty re vealed to me his Son, as he did to Peul ; I was struck dumb, and like Paul, after his dark sea son, I had revealed to me wonderful feigns, sights, and visions, when I was brought out in to great light. Right off I see that every body else was wrong; thtit the priest was a leading etn all to perdition. So I lifted up my full voice, and like Noah, I warned 'ini of approach ing wrath ; but like the Ante-Deluvians, they stopped up their ears and kept on sinning. A bout six weeks ago it was revealed to tne that I wss the prophet of God, spoken of in Maluchi, and the rest oftho prophets, that was to prepare the way for the second coming of Christ, and that as he would appear at Jerusalem at such a time, I muut go there and be ready to prepare things fur bis coining; so I am here 'in the spirit and power of Elijah,' and lam bound for the Holy City. If you wish to escape the last vial of wrath that just a going to be poured out help me on my journey." "Well, sir," I replied, somewhat "used up" 1 confess by the prophet's communications,"! am glad to sco you won't you lake a scat friend ; you are oil for Jerusalem then by the first baoL" 'Oh yes sir, I must go quick too.1' " All right ; wb can take you there by steam ; that's faster than the old Prophets used tD tra vel I expect, except nnwnnd then some ot them, who took like Jonah, the belly of a w hale for a cabin ; but I hope your not in such great haste but you cau pass a day or two with us here ; we have a fine city, filled with palaces, and works of art." "Oh! I care no more for theso "ere things than Paul did when he stood on Mara Hill, and see the whole people given to idolatry ; I must be on my way, for I have yet to get to Jerusalem and keep a holy fast of forty days before Christ can come, and I don't want to delay Uie Lord Je ans you see." "Oh oo, ot course not ; I should be very sor ry to have you do that ; I don't think we ought to do such thiuga. But tell ua a word about the way you got here, for I have a great interest iu your mission ; I have not seen such a maa for many a day." "Well, just aa soon aa tbia Revelutioo come, I (old out my earthly goods to get little won-1 ey, and left friends and home, for you know what our Lord said, that it a man did't 'hate is father and mother,' (kc, I got to Boston, and found a steam ship agoning to leave the next day for England, and I took passsgc; we was 13 days at sea. The same day we got to Liverpool, I went to London in the cars, and the day arter I got there, I went aboard an English vessel, and we sailed here to Genoa in 18 days. So you see it's only about SO days since 1 left my fath er's house, in Worcester; I've gone so fast, because God was on my side, and every thing wss overruled for tne his servant and chosen Prophet," "Yes, I see; well now which way do you ? "1 want to go the quickest way to get to Jer usalem, only 1 must go by the way of Rome, for it has been revealed to me as it was to Paul, that 1 must be persecuted and suffer at Home; she is the mother of harlots, the Beast, the False Prophet, satan's seat, snd no Prophet of God ca n go there without persecution ; 1 shall be there in prison twenty days as has been revealed to me, and suffer great torments and tortures, for which I am prepared, and then Cud will come to de liver me from prison, as he did Peter and Silas, and I shall go on my way to Jerusalem." "Why, my friend, it seems to me that if they are to handle you so roughly in Rome, I should give them the slip, and go some other way." "Oh no, I am commanded to go to Rome, and proclaim to the Pope that the day of God's judg ments is come, and that in a few weeks he will be cast into the bottomless pit." "And what do you think his Holiness will say to this interesting piece of intellgence !" "He will order me to great torments ; but God will deliver me." 'Well my friend, tell us something about the 6tate of things in Jerusalem after you get there." "Well as 1 was saying, I don't want to detain the Ixird Jesus, nor keep him waiting for me, so 1 shall get on the ground as quick as possible. Then I shall keep a holy last of lorty days. When this is done, the Ixird Jesus will be re vealed from heaven, and set up his kingdom in Jerusalem. Then the day of of reckoning will come for all the world. All creeds will be burnt up, and judgment taken on all Priests, churches, and wicked men, and a little while given them to repent, and it they dou't do it, Christ will destroy them all. The Jews will all be gathered to Jerusalem nut ot all nations from whence they have been driven, and all the holy dead will be raised to live and reign with Christ ; I shall be his Prime Minister, nnd great Prophet. This will last SCm.OOO years, ond then the world will be burnt up, or burnt over, and a new world made out of the old one, and we shall live on it for ever and ever, even to all eternity. Hell will he in the crn're of the earth which is nothing but fire and melted lava, and there they will bo burned forever and ever, e ven to all eternity." But do you really btlieie all this my friend 1" "Bdieve if! Why I A' now it, for it's all been rutalcd to me, and I can't be mistaken." "But what if Jesus Christ don't come when you have finished your t'Hft .'' "Why, he tri'iV come." 'Well : but ?y so strange a thing should hap pen, as that he should not come, what would you do 7" "Why you may just as well ask me what if there was no J nut Christ ! But 1 have stay ed here too long already ; I was going right a way, but the captain told me I must have a piss port, or the earthly powers would stop me ; I want to go : make it out as quick as you can." "You shall have it iu aa hour, friend.'' "And I'll pay for it now; what will it cost? I've got a little money left." "Oil I don't charge Prophets any thing for passports, and I will get the Governor and Pol ice and Papal consul to vesay yonr passport gra tis, and you can go on board the steamer Virgil this evening, und bo oil' lor Rome without de lay." "Well then, I'll stay here lift it comes." So the Prophet took off his cap, and put it on the floor by his side, and taking out a pocket bi ble, turned to the prophecies, to read by him self. All this scene thus far, seemed to tne at the time, the most redtculous I ever beheld ; but w hen the fiist novelty had passed, and I saw the poor deluded man turn to the bible, the blessed revelation ot God, and con its sacred pages with that intense gaze, with which no man looks but an honest man, it was by tar the saddest sight 1 ever witnessed. I thought of his friends, and their entreaties that he would stay at home in the beautiful town of his birth, and pass his days peacefully ; I thought of the care that had worn him thinner than a shadow, in persuit ofa ahade and of the disappointment that awaited him when he reached the holy spot, where the Sa vior of men died, and on which I doubt no more than he, that he will stand again at his aecond coining, while I sat gaging on the poor victim of delusiou before me, and heard the involunta ry sigh that now and then came from hie rest less spirit. I felt a cadneaa wbicb I cannot de scribe : I could have wept over the man but I could not smile at him again. I made out pass port, sent it to be signed by the proper anthorU ties, and then went with him to the steamboat office, saw him on board the steamer, which was just weighing anchor for old Rome. I have heard nothing from him since. He had money enough to take him to Jerusalem as he wbb wtl ling to undergo any privation. His health was declining evidently he waa wosting away like a man with the consumption ; his life was being burnt out of his heart by o slow fire; Before now he has probably reached Jerusalem, and not nnlikoly he has died ot hunger and disappoint ment, without the gate of the Holy City, where the dogs have eaten his flesh, and the vulture of liCuVcn have pecked his bones. Yours truly, etc. A Beautiful Im-mikst. On a fineeummcr's day, h clergyman was called to preach in a town in Indiana, to a young EpiscopM congregation. Alter the close of his discourse, ho addressed bis young hearers in some such words as these: Learn that the present life is preparation for, and has a tondency to, eternity. The present is linked with the future throughout creation, in the vegetable, in the animal, and in a moral world. As is the seed, so is the fruit ; as is the egg so is the fowl ; as is the boy so is the man ; and as is the rational being in this world, so will he bo in the next ; Dives estranged from God there ; and Enoch walked with God here, and Enoch walked with God in a better world, I beseech you then, live for eternity. Go to the worm that you tread upon and learn a lesson of widom. The very caterpillar seeks the food that tosters it tor another and similar etate : and more wisely than man, builds itsown tomb, from whence in time, by a kind of resurrection it comes forth a new creation in almost an an celic form. And now that which wan hideous is beautiful, i nd that which crawled flies, and that which fed on enmpartively grass food, sips the dews and revels in the rich pastures an emblem of that paradise where flowa the river of lite. Could the caterpillar have been diver ted tiom its proper element snd mode of life, it had never aitnined the butterfly's splended form and hue, it hud perished a worthless worm. Consider her way and be wise. Let it not be said that ye are more negligent than worms, and your reason is less available than their instinct As often as the butterfly flits across your path re member that it whispers in its flight 'Live for the tii'tire.' With this the preacher cljsed his discourse, hut to deepen the impression, a butterfly, direct ed by the hand which guides alike the Sun and an atom in its course fluttered through the church, as if commisioncd by Heaven to repeat the exhortation. There was neither speech nor language, but its voice wss 'heard siying to the gazing audience 'Live for the future. Alba ny Spectator. A Hiohlt CoLcmED Statumknt. The Le high Bulletin relates that a Mr. Macungie, of that county, while riding along, waa accosted by a white female, and requested to carry her bandbox. He complied and offered her a seat in his wagon into the bargain, but she refused. As requested, he carried the box to the next tavern, handed it out, and waited for the lady to come up. Arter h:s own and the patience of the innkeeper Mas exhausted by her delay, the box was opened and had in it not a new cap or bonnet but a jrt black child, fast a sleep'. It is perhaps unnecessary to etate the 'lady' never csme to hond, and the infant was taken to the poor house ot Lehigh county. Wbitiso Againm time.

Among the recent novelties, which have at traded the sattention of the Parisians, is an 'electrical girl,' of whom the most incredible things are related. Her name is Angeliqtio Gotten, thirteen years ot age, a native of the tie partmcnt of Finistere. If the accounts given of her are true, she possesses the electric power in quantity and force, that may be called 'posi tively shocking.' Her electrical force was on ly discovered by accident. A reel which slm held in her hand one day suddenly flew out of it to the astonishment of all present On it being replaced it shot ofTagain. There was nf course a sensation produced by the circum stance. The scientific were informed of the singularcircumstances, and sundry experiment were performed in the presence of Arago, Ma thieu, Langicrand Gotijon. The following is the account nf these experiments. A piece of paper being placed on the edge of a table, was immediately attracted to her left hand. Holding her apron upon it, she ap proached a gueridon, which 'retired at her ap proach. She waa then placed in a chair with her feet to the ground. The chair was thrown with violence against the wall, in one direction, and Angelique tumbled down in another. The experiment waa repeated several times, and with nearly the same result. Next, Monsieur Arago, the famous astronomer, laid bis hand upon the chair, but could not prevent its mov ing. M. Goujon then sat upon the chair, and it was projected aa before, the moment Angeli que took her seat. On a subsequent occasion two men held it down, but though it did not move any distance, it was broken in pieces. A table and a sofa could not resist her electricnl power of repulsion. Dr. Tauchon ascertained to his own satisfaction that the chair was first attracted and then repelled. It is stated that whenever the girl is isolated by a glass stool, oiled silk, or any other non-conductor ot elec tricity, the projections do not take place. A magnet, says the account, being placed near the left hand, which is alone magnetic, he experienced different sensations, corresponding with the different poles. She thus felt what might be properly termed a Northern sense tion, and a Southern sensation , she is not arc tic in her taste, however, as ahe is repelled by the North Pole. When the electric discharges ta ke place, she is violently agitated, experiences very great commotion, and complains of much, suffering. We find her electrical power much greater after 6he hs dined ; and her pulse during these remarkable displays of electric energy runs up to 120 a minute. Other wonderful things are recorded ot ber which of course require some further evidence before they can be credited. A Featitrreb Patroness op the News papers. The Marion (Va.) Pioneer states that it has a subscriber, a lad eleven years of age, who pays his subscription in eggs, snd hav ing but one ben, be expicts her to do her duty.' This is corlninly a hen worth having, and it is to be hoped that her owner's over an xiety for useful information, may not lead him into the temptation of overtaking his literary biddy at any rate to forget the disastrous ex ample of the classical fowl that laid the golden eggs in olden time. Let him beware ot look ing for eggs faster than they come in the natu ral and customary order of such things. Paoprrs op the Slave Trade It appesre by the pipers found on board the slaver recently eaptured, that the slaves cost on the coast $15 a $20 each, and will sell in any part of Brazil for $300.

If the Panther had been successful, she would have made &350, 000 above all ex proses. iorJand Lady ire words of Saxon origin.- Lord ia from Laford, (Iaf-giver,) and he waa so called, from his maintaining, at hie own ex pense, a iiumber of retainers or dependants. Lady is from Laf-dian, (Loaf-server,) because she cut and served round the bread to the guests. We find the above in the papers, and have no doubt that the derivation is entirely correct.
