TiIgIELLING ADVENTLRE
The town of Liverpool, in Nova Scotia,
situated about sixty miles from Halifax, is a
place of some magnitude for a colonial out
port. It is, and always has been, remark
able for the neatness and conithrt of its
house.:, for the activity and enterPritte of its
people, and for the wealth and well•heing of
all who choose to be intlustron-: and inclined
to lay up worldly goods. The intercourse
with Halifax, the capital of the province,
was, at the period of which we speak.
chiefly kept up by a smart and dashing little
craft, called the Liverpool Packet, cowman
ded by (.'attain llass, which plied weekly
between the two places throughout the
spring and summer months, laying up du
ring the severity of the winter, when the
communication with Halifax was, for the
most part, limited to a weekly post by land.
About the year 1815 or 1816, as the sea
son for navigation was drawing to a close, a
great number of psssengerwwobt to Halifax,
as was the custom, to replenish their stmeg
for winter, while many loads of families
proceeded thither to purchase clothing,
groarieo, ko, for their private winter stock ;
and as this was to be the last. trip of' the
season, the little barque was crowded with
some forty or fifty passengers, chiefly fht hers
and mothers of large finuilies who were left
at home.
The voyage to Halifax VIA proverow.—
The voyager.; made their purehave, and in
due time thn Livernonl Paoket we' ready to
return. All the pwerengeri embarked in

down the harbor, and proceeded for her dn. -
tination.
A few hours after tier departure there

m well known on the coast of Nova Scotia,
and bleming with the utmost fury fbr sever

ehartie of weather ho whim, fa) Revere, and
aw.tiettotl. gave rise to great rtike fbe
thoaafety of the little packet, and ihn to , it
poatty land was anxiously waited for by
friends and +clot Ives at both towns.
The ptift at length arrived, but brought
no tidings ot :the Liverpool Packet ; another
post and another cacao in, and yet no news
of the missing vessel. Search WO then
made along the shore to see if the wreck
could be found, but not ft vessel could be
discovered. The bold begin to doubt, and
the thu's' to despair, and the opinion was Ut
hist arrived at that the vessel had been
blown off the coast, or Rink in a gale. if
the latter she and her passengers were, of
course, irretrievably gone, as no person
build live in boats in such weather; if the
the former, there was still hope that the
next arrive from Bermuda would bringtmtne
intelligence.
We will not atempt to describe the deplor
able state of mind of the people in the owe
happy little town, for nearly all had a rela
tive on beard, either litther, mother, broth
er or sister. Prayera were, put , up in the
churches, and a gloom mantled over , the
countenances of every one.
Advice.; were in due time received from
Bermuda, hut nothing was heard from the
little'packet and her passengers. Accounts
were also reeetved from several of the West
India Islands, but still without tidings of
the missing vessel.
Three months at length passed away, and
the packet was given up for had. Those
who had friends on board went into mourn
ing, and prayers were even offered up for
the repose of the souls of the departed, and
and el connected were the different families
with each other throughout the town that
the Sunday on whieh all who had friends on
board put on black, put nearly the entire
population in the habilameuts of wee.
Four months had now passed away; the
mourners, notwithstanding their irreparable
loss were becoming reeonsiled their berim
meets ; for there is °philosophy in the hu
man heart which teaches us to bear with
litrtitude great lessee, when those of less
severity are met with impatience. All hope
had now fled ; the vessel had, without
deubt, foundered and gone to the bottom,
with all on board ; but when or in what
part of the vast ocean, was to remain veiled
in the secrets of the deep until the sea
Phould give up its dead.
Sixteen weeks had new elapsed, when
one fine morniesejn e the Ft tin_ some sea
firing people dhan iu the Fort described a
tienige brig approaching the harbor; She

habits of seamen (glid not lightly peas
over such a circumstance, and the report of
a strauge vessel coming spread through the
little town, and many persons assembled.
The best telaseopes were put in requisllion,
but none could make out who or what the
swinger was. As she drew ncarcs to the
elisions group, her deck was diseovered to

gES.
exclaimed one who had certain
indefinable hope, as that hope sank within
him, "an emigrant ;ship after all,' and a
deep sh;11 came from hie bosom; fit he had
a near and dear friend on board the little
Packet. "An emigrant ship I said another;
"how can any captain of an emigrant ship
know so well his way into this harbor?—
Besides, emigrant ships do not come to
Lite, pool." A pause ensued, during which
one with a quick eye was gazing through
the best glass the town could afford ; he
was on one knee, testing his telescope, when
he suddenly sprang on his feet, and declared
that Captain Bass was among the passen
gers; "Nonsense I" was the incredulous
cry; "Captain Bass and the Liverpool
Packet are at the bottom of the sea, and
will there remain until the day of recuree
t ion." .
Not daunted by their incredulity, he said,
"give me the trumpet, 1 will speak the
brig. In a few moments she will be near
enough. What brig is that ?" The re
spones was given. "Are you Capt. Bassi?"
" /is," was the reply. A few words sufficed
to reveal that the vessel had been blown MY,
and fur raw days went betbr the wind with
great rapidity. As the gale abated, Cupt.
Bass found he could better reach the West
'lndies than he could get back with PO small
and so crowded a vessel. Using their pro
visions economically, and slacking their
thirst with cider and the barrels of apples
that were on board, they reached Ilarbadoes.
There the Captain sold his sloop, bought
t he brig, and came back safe with all his
The joyful news flew through the town
with the impetuosity of lightning, and ere
the vessel could be brought to the wharf the
entire population of the place had asstublod
to meet and embrace their friends. It,
would be iu vain to attempt to describe such
a scene—all were in mourning—yet all with
a smile of joy beaming in their countenances.
As the long lost friends and relatives leaped
on shore, fathers, mothers and brothers
were locked in each other's arms, ami then
the smiles became tears of joy.
Ilut how was such a scene to end—how
could it, or how ought it to cnd,with a mor
el and Christian people? There is in the
depth of the fountain of the human heart
an ever living spring, from which flows its
purest and most sacred emotions. There
arises the principle of religion, the sense of
accountability to Ood and love for all good
ness. This impulsive feeling came forth in
a gush of epatitaneoul gratitude ; and the
tear] and' sobs had scarcely ceased, when,
)with pno sudden impulse, the whole seam
lsge sail on their knees, and in a burst of
pious feitir poured out thanks to the great
and merciful Being who had so singularly
preserved them—and who holds us in the
hollow of Tlis band.
This extraordinary circumstance is not
within the recollection of many means, but
a few still survirnM Nora Scotia who have
a distiet retuembilatice of it. In this rata•
tion we may have mato many details, but
the general outlizeis VO finitely tree.
A Moniefit of t orror.
I do not propose to tell a story either of
romance or of sentiment, but simply to nor
rate an incident which happened to myself
in the fall of 185=1 1 :; I was bound westward
to the city of' Now York.
The city was crowded with.etrangers. Af
ter unsuoceseful applications et several be-
Ms, at last I obtained lodgings at —'n,
kept on the European On. Here I was
obliged to content utys.df with a chamber
on the fourth floor, oddly enough arranged
in seine, respects, as, upon going to it, after
supping, for the purpose of changing my
travel-stained dress, I noticed the room had
no window, with the exception of a square
opening in the wall, through which air and
light were admitted from the adjoining room.
To the opening, too, was attached a shutter
in that room. I dre--ed, and attended the
Bowery Theatre, reaching my apartment,
on returning, about ball-put twelve o'clock
at night.
When about stepping into bed, I observed
the wicket open, and a thought struck me
to take a look, into the adjoining apartment.
Why it was I know not; perhaps a sense of
my cold insecurity actuated me.
I got upon a chair, and gazed through the
window into the chamber. No one was
there. It was furnished like my own. A
lamp was burning upon the table, and upon
the latter was lying a bolster, a whetstone,
and a pair of large false whiskers.
Well, thought I, these two rather queer
articles of wardrobe. After a glance arilhe
premises. 1 felt anything but easy. I
finally got into bed, first placing the lamp
upon the il9Or at the foot; and examining
my pistol, I laid 11,garefully under my head.
At first, though quite fatigued, I could not
Bleep; and when 1 did doze, my dreams
were uneasy and troubled. "Macbeth" had
been the play at the theatre, and witches
and black whiskers, Belem's ghost, with
. • imeresting vit
itors, were the convanious of my dreamy
thoughts.
About three o'clock, it might have been,
I was aroused by a somewhat singular noise.
On listening, it evidently proceeded from
the neat room. It could be likened to
nothing 1 had ever heard ; it was low, but
regular and metallic in its sonwl—so to ex
press it, such a sound, for instance, as
might be made it cutting glans with a dia
mond. Suddenly I thought of the whet
stone on the table, and at the same moment
became convinced the noise was that of a
knife being sharpened. My bed was placed
in the diagonal corner of the room from the
wicket, and I had been lying with my back
to the latter. turned in the bed as
no m eNi ly as Wale, so as to face the wick
et, praspiog my pistol. The lamp was burn
ing dimly, and all was as still as death.
As my eye fell upon the window, it en
countered first a hand placed upon the sill;
then rose by degrees a head, with a pair of
glittering black eyes, great heavy whiskers,
and a long, sharp knife between his teeth I
I think I possess the ordinary courage of' a
man, but I must confess the blood in may
veins seemed to curdle as I viewed the ap
paration. Quick as lightning, I sprang up
in bed, and poiuting my pistol, cried out,
"If you move a muscle front your position,
you're a dead man." The eyes glared, the
head remaining, however, as described, the
man not uttering a syllable. I got out of
bed, and with pistol still presented and eyes
fixed on his, I backed to the bell-rope and
pulled it violently. In a few moments
servant came up. I called to him to bring
a police (doer ; there is something serious
going on here. Ina moment the passage
was filled with the inmates of the house.
In a short time a "star" made his appear-
IMO', and took the man into custody. The
landlord sail he her arrived that evening
without b a ggage.
The next day a gentleman claimed the
suppose , ' assassin as his brother, a maniac,
whom he had been conducting to the insane
asylum in Philadelphia, and who had esca
ped from him while in that city. lie had
made his way to New York, and with the
well-known cunning of a madman, had
managed to avoid detection.. I suppose the
"power of the eye"—for I kept Wino fixed
on his—had restrained him, otherwise ho
could easily have tutenered me in a moment.
Since then, whilst in a strange place, I
have been careful to examine and secure wy
chamber before retiring.
Ansa the terrible powder explosion in
China in .Deeember, which blew half the
town of liankow to pieces, ono of the mo•t
_curious sights was the great number of bul
locks standing around among the bedries
where their stalls had been, alive and quiet,
but denuded of all their hair, and in some
cases literally skinned.
THE following is recommended as a receipe
for making Bologna sausage :—'fake eel
skin and stuff it with. ground cat ; season it
with Scotch snuff and parsimman oil ; lay
it on a hog pit to dry, and then bang it up
by the tail in a grooery for tbroo months for
flies to give t,ho trade mark, then it is ready
fur use.

fire the world invulnerable, on these leading
principles of Odd Fellowship.
Such is the character of our Order, and
Jt retullsozheis--vieseed--in-ite-aggregitted
form. Our enemies and opponents now
kid to us all we have assumed on this
broad ground of collective, usefulness and
high-toned principle. But while conceding
this, they point with bitter MOS= to the
unworthy acts of individual members, and
sneer at the dissensions and differences
which are occasionally exhibited in our coun
cils. It fs won'e than folly to deny, that
these gharges have no foundation in truth.
We can not disguise facts as they exist
among us. We may lament the existence
of all these defects in our individual mem
bers; we may deplore the want of unanimi
ty in our councils nay, we may palliate our
defectione, by asserting that our Institutions
is but a human invention—that its members
are now subjected to the common infirmities
of humanity, and that Odd Fellowship, as
an institution, is not justly, chargeable with
&leas, which are alike common to all hu
man societies, either collee,irely or individ
ually ; and we -hall, to a °eosin extent, be
warranted in making such a Metre. And
yet when we return to the great fundamen
tal principles, which should govern us as a
body, and can adequately realize that CHARI
TY and the cultivation of vu FRATERNI.
ZINO SMUT, are the governing laws of Odd
Fellowship, we must place our hands upon
our mouths, and remain dumb' before the
accusations to whicb we are justly exposed,
for we must feel the consciousness that
every individual member of the Order might
act up to the true character of an Odd Fel
low, as well in his private relations, as in his
affiliated position with the Qrder. What
would be the character of such a member
acting upon the principles enjoined by Odd
Fellows ?
The leading traits of such a character may
be better described by negatives than by af
firmatives ; for the vast extent of individual
duties and responsibilities devolving upon a
faithful and worthy member of ow Order
cannot be definitely laid down.
We say then that the true Odd Allow is
not a man who allows the natural selfishness
of his nature to predotnitiate in every move
ment he takes iu the Order. Ho is not the
carping, irritable opponent of any set of
generosity and benevolence left discretionary
in the powers of the members. lie is not
the potty leader of trifles in his lodge. He
is not governed by feelings of personal ea
eitement toward his brother members ; fur
such feelings are incompatible with our pre
tensions, and might be assuaged by a aimple
regard for our characters as Odd Fellow&
lie is not an ambitious and an intriguing as
pirant for office and honors, fur charity and
brotherly regards are merged in these eon-
•sts• Ho values and estimates these die-
deadens, but ho will not be desirous of ob
taining them by the loss of principle. If
they aro awarded to him, he will not assume
undue airs of superiority on account of his
el vstion. for ho has learned the true lesson
of equality, conveyed in the sacred charac
ter of Brother, Nor will he bo arbitrary
and dompotio in 101 nets, for the law of
CHARITY is his regulator.
The true Odd Fellow is not the prescriber
and denouncer of his brother, for •opinion's
sake. The broad platform of Odd Fellow
ship guarantees the largest liberty of indi-
lr.l=E
El
vidual thought, and the most unlimited
freedom of individual Jight. Whenever
our lggislaittre 11,8 inva , fod this fundamental
privilege of the ' member, it is a &wham
from the true spirit of Odd Fellowship, We
consider the correct understanding of the
vested rights of members, to fbnn one of
the constituents of the true Odd Fellow,
Such a inn will never, under any pretext,
either of expediency or undefined powers
vested in the laws of the executive authori
ty, trench one atom on the guarantecal rights
of his brother members. These are sacred
with him as is the personal property or the
individual characters of our members.
They are inalienable—they are consecrated
by the governing law of Charity, and the
principle of Fraternization, which binds us
together.
We need not add that the true Odd Fel
low must be a benevolent man—not only
within the prceiuts of his own lodge-room,
but he must carry his philanthropic spirit
into general practice. The Odd Fellow that
is a cold, calculating, avaricious, heartless
man in his intercourse with the world, fie a
living libel upon the Order ho has falsely
identified himself with.
We will not enlarge the picture we have
endeavored to sketch of the true Odd Fel
low. It is not an imaginary one ; there are
hundreds of our members who might set for
the portrait; awn who ate governed in all
their actions as Odd Fellows by the great
principles we profess, and are rendered
thereby more valuable citizens and better
men. The application we would draw from
our remarks is to enforce a closer study of
the real obligations WO have assumed by be
coining members of our Order, and by this
process avoid the disgrace attached to those
who do not act up to " the character or A.

NOT LOTTS:RIES, Bi.T Swim:mtg.—Judge
Piere in his charge to the Grand Jury said
"le was happy to say that such things a.s
the Gettysburg and Washington Library
schemes, which were n °thing m ore than letter.
es, were passing away, vanishing from sight
by the action of the Legislature in repealing
the acts creating them. The community
had reasons for congratulation'thnt the per
nicious system of lotteries was thus sup
owed." The happiness of this Judge
will be shared by all honest citizens; but in
this matter, the language of his charge
might have been even stron.:er, without
transcending truth. To speak of the two
schemes named as "things," and as "noth
ing more than lotteries," is to fail to fitly
characterise them. Lotteries are bad enough
but there is some show of bonsty about them
sufficient to secure them legal reeognition,in
some of the States, But schemes, in which
all the valuable prizes exist only on paper,
and in which the drawings if they ever do
take place, take place by stealth, are clearly
unalloyed swindlers, as many of our simple.
minded citizens have discovered by expe
rience.
&TEO'S or TPA ON TEE SYSITM. —The
Boston Joarma of Chemitery publishes a
lengthy article on the proprieties of tea in
the eourse of which the writer says it is no
matter of wonder with him that the brain
workers, in all the years since tea was intro
duced, have regarded it ,with the highest
favor. It has a power to subdue irritability,
refresh the spirits and renew the energies,
such as is possessed by no other agent.—
When the system is exhausted by labor or
study a cup of tea invigorates as no other
form of food or beverage can. He thinks
it promotive of longevity, and adds : "Tea
saves food by lessening the waste of the
body, soothes the vascular system and af
fords stimulus to the brain. The young do
not need it, and it is worthy of note that
they do not crave or like it. Children will
frequently ask for coffee, but seldom for tea.
To aged people whose powers of digestion
and whose bodily substance have begun to
fail together, it is almost a necessity."
Tnx credit system of busines has some
few advantages, but none to compensate for
the mischief it entails. It is to the system
of mercantile credits that we owe all the
bankruptcies that occur—amounting to from
ninety to ninety-five percent. or al persons
engaged in mercantile pursuits. The exis
tence of credits compels good customers to
pay for losses incurred by bad ones. It
makes it possible for swindling to become a
branch of busines, by the opportunity it of
for the unprincipled to prey upon the
industrous. It taxes labor to the amount
of many millions annually, no man being
able to sell as low lbr credit as for cash
This additional tax, occasioned by bad debts,
delay in payment, and expense in collecting
contingent and doubtful debts, is lioelly
paid by the consumer.
13x012.—Thishort pipe of the hod-car
rier is just as good to him as the regalias
conld be that coat $2OO a thousand in Ha
vana. and sixty cents each in Now York.
If you wore to giro him one of those rega
ins ho would prefer to cut it up and smoke
it in his pipe, and then ho would not find it
as good as the tobacco he usually smokes.
The poor laborer's pipo is a potent equali
ser. To the enjoyment of pleasures purely
luxurious there is a limit which is soon
reached; and I maintain that a poor man
gets as much of this kind of pleasure out of
his pipe as a prince or a railroad king can
extract flom all the costly wines and viandB
of a table. If there is a man iu the world
who ought to smoke, that ancient hod•car
rier is the man. A stronger case for amok
ing cannot be scle , .t , 'l from ordinary life.
