On some lone, lovely isle,
Where all my cares might be forgot,

One kindred heart, I'd ask no more,

To nourish love and prayer.
There would we bloom, like sweet twimflowers,

Like flow'rets fade away.

MISTELLANEOUS.
A BAD SUGGESTION
Listen not to a bad suggestion. Did
your companion Whisper a profane thought
in your ears ? Forget it 'and break from
his friendship. You: are now compara
tively pure—your heart is not colored by
a vice. A profane Word has never quiv
ered on your lips, or a vile sentence es
caped from your tongue. Beware, then,
how you. listen to an impure and wicked
associate. Give not a wropg suggestion
moment's lodgement in Your bosom. It
is astonishing to see
'How guilt, once harbored in the conscious breast,
Intimidates the brave—degrades the great."
If there
,is a lovely .object on earth—one
on which angels can gaze with delight—it
is a virtuous youth, strong in his integrity,
whom nothing can seduce. Alas ! how
-few-young then of this description can be
found. The ribald jest—the profane path
—the vulgarsuggestion—the indecent song
—the base allusionare too often heard in
everrquarter. - ' .
But you are yet young—you have seen
but little of the world, and know not the
amount of wickedness by which you are
surrounded. Liston, then, to our advice
and never give heed to any suggestion that
you know., is bad. Spurn every attempt
to seduce your virtue. For
"Many a crime deemed innocent on earth, •
Is regisfe . ted in Heavon, and those, no doubt,
Have each their maid w•tth n curse annexed."
We repeat—listen not to. a ,bad sugges
tion. You have need of great cailtion and
decision. The vicious may, approach you
unawares, when...off your guard, and their
plans will be so well laid to ruin you that
you will slip and, fall unless your resolu•
tion is strong—your determination firm.--
Once conquer and you will be safe.
,But
innocence has enemies. You may be de
nounced for a Kasen, but your rise will be
glorious.
INSTINCT OF BIRDS--We have received
from 'a lady of our acquaintance the follbw
ing illustration of the instinct of birds.—
Two yellow birds had built their nest in
her garden, and there, laid their eggs and
hatched their young. The lady having oc
casion to pass by the nest one day, stowed
to admire the little birds. On her rdturn
to the garden after an absence of a short
time, the mother bird came whirling and
screaming aromulter, flying so near as al
most to touch the lady's head ; this she
continued to do Until the lady, suspecting
that there was. some trouble with the young
birds, wont to the nest.; She there found
a snake in the act of swallowing the second
of the three little birds. She wps in sea
son to save only one of the three.
Bost. Traveller,
ANIMAL GRATITUDE.--;All English pa
per says, "AniMals are so capable of show
ing gratin& and affection to, those who
have been kind to them, that I never see
them subjected to ,ill treatment witho'ut feel
ing the utmost abhorrence of those who are
Inflicting it. know many persons who,
like myself, take a pleasure in seeing all
the animals about them happy and content
ed. Cows will show their pleasure at
seeing those who have been kind to them,
by moving their ears gently, and putting
out their noses. My old horse rests his
head on the gate with great complacency
when he sees me Coming, - expecting to re

A. CHANGE OF Tms,—Legislators in

GETTYSBURG, PA.; FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1845.
From the New York Spirit of the Tinter
A Mil Write Miracle._
In a little village in the State of Hoosier
anna, in the year 1844, there was all sorts
of excitement concerning the doctrines and
prophecies of that :welt deceiver, Miller.—
For months, the Midnight Cry, followed
by the Morning Howl, and the Noonday
Yell, had circulated through the village and
surrounding countries to an extent not even
equalled by Dr. Duncan's celebrated Coon
Speech. Men disposed of their property
for little or nothing. The women were
pale and ghaStly from watching and pray.
ing, and, in fact, the whole population, or
at least those who believed in the coming
ascension, looked as if they were about
half over an 'attack of the chills and fever.
There were, however, some "choice'spir-j
its," who, notwithstanding the popularity
of the delusion, would not enlist under the
banners of the aseensionists,' and among,
these was a wild harum-scarum blade front
"Down East," by the name ofCabe Mew- j
ham, Now Cabe was as .hard "a case" j
as you would meet on a fourth of Jule, in
Texas, always alive for tint and sport of
my and every description, and a strong
ever in Millerism. z.
The night of the third of April was a-
greed uponl out west here, for the great ;
exhibition of "ground and lofty, tumbling,"
and about 10 o'clock of the said night,
numbers of the Millerites assembled on the
out-skirts of the town, on a little eminent:l,
upon Which the proprietors had allowed a
few trees to stand. In the -crowd, and the
only representative of his race present,
was a free negro, 'by the name of Sam,
about as, ugly, black,-wooly a descendant
of Ham, as .ever baked his shirts over a
kitchen fire.
Sam's head was small, body. and arms
very long, and his legs bore a remarkable
resemblance to a pair of hams ; in fact, put
Sam on a horse, his legs
,clasped around
his neck, his head towards the tail, and his
arms clasped round the animal's hams, and
at ten paees off you would swear that he
was an old sot of patent gearing,
The leader of the Millerites, owingto
an ancient grudge he bore him, hated Sam
"like SmOlre," and had done all in his pow
er to prevent his admittance among. the
"elect," but all to no purpose; Sam would
creep in atevery meeting; 63-night here he
was again, dressed in a white robe of cheap
cotton, secured to his body by,, a belt, and
shouting and praying as loud. as the best.
Now, on the morning of the 2d, Cabe
had with a deal of perseverance, and more
trouble, m anaged to throw a half inch hemp
rope over the branch of an' oak which
stretched its long arms.-directly over the
spot where the Millerites would assemble;
one end he had secured to the body of the
tree, and the other to a stump some dis.
tance oft About 10 o'clock, when the
excitement was getting about 'BO lbs. to the
inch,' Cabe, wrapped in an old sheet, walked
into the crowd, and proceeded to fasten in
' as secure a manner as possible, 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 threg a dim light over the scene,
and in a few moments the voice of -Sam
was heard, exclaiming, "Gor Almighty !
I'se agoin up ! Who-o-ohh !" and sure
enough Sant was seen mounting into the
"etherial -blue ;" his ascent was, however,
checked when he had cleared "terra firma,"'
a few feet. "Glory!" Cried one, "Hallelu
jah !" another, shrieks & yells making night
hideous ; some fainted, others prayed, and
not a few dropped their robes and "slid." j
Now whether it was owing to the lightness
of his head, or the length and weight of his
heals, or both, Sam's position was not a
pleasant one ; the belt to which Cabe's cord
was attaehedwas bound exactly around his
centre of gravity, and Sam swung like a
pair of scales, head up and heels down,
heels up and head down, at the same time
weeping over the crowd like a pendulum,, i
which ntiotion was accelerated by his stroll.
uous clapping of hands, and vigorous kick.
ing. At length he became alarmed, lie
wouldn'tgo up, and he couldn't come down !
"Lora Massy," cried lie, "fist take urn
poor nigger tO uin bosum, or lef him down
agin, easy, easy, Gor Almighty! Lef him
down agin, please um Lord, and dis nigger
will go straight to um bed ! Ugh-h-h'
and Sam's teeth chattered- with affright,
and he kicked again more vigorously than
before, bringing his head directly downward
and his heals up, when a woman shrieking
out, "Oh, brother Sam,take me with you,"
sprung at his head as he swept by her, and
caught him by theivo 01, bringing him up "all
standing." "Gosh! sister,' cried Sam; "lef
go um poor nigger's hair." Cabe now gave
another pull at the rope, but the additional
weight was too -lunch, the belt gave way,
and down canto Sam, his bullet head taking
the leader of the saints a fcelerjust between
the eyes. ,‘Gosh 4in down * in?" cried
the bewildered Sam, gathering himself up.
"I is, bless do Lord! lint I was nearly dar,
I seed de gates r The leader wiped his
overflowing-proboscis, took Sam , by the
nap of the neck, led him to the edge of the
crowd, and, giving hint a kick la paste.'

"FEARLESS AND FREE."
WAn is not tho holytlny thing we see now
and then,on oar peaceful 'parade. grounds. We
must look for the reality elsewhere; and if you
would conceive' what it really is, take an account
like the following, written bya clergyman oh the.
spot, of scenes he witnessed after the battle of
Soldin
"At" one o'clock," says he, "the cannon
ading ceased ; and I went on foot to Sol
din in ordOr to learn to whose advantage
the battle had turned out. Towards eve-
fling seven'hundred of the Russian fugi
tives came to Soldin, a pitiful sight indeed ;.
some holding up their hands cursing and
' swearing ; others praying and praising
the King of Prussia—wthout hats, without
clothes ; some on foot, others two on a
horse, with their heads. and arms tied up ;
some dragging along by the stirrups, and
others by the horses' tails.
"Men the battle was decided and Nit:to
ry shouted for the Prussian. army, I ven
tured to the place where the cannonading
was. After walking some way, a Cos
sack's horse came running full speed to
wards me. I mounted him, and on my
way for seven miles and a half on this
side the field of b'attle I found the,dead and
the wounded lying on the ground sadly cut
in pieces. The thrther advanced the more
these poor creatures lay heaped one upon,
another. • I
"That sc4me.l shall never forget. The•
Cossacks, as soon as they saw me, cried
out, "Dear sir, water! WATER! WATER !"
Righteous- God ! what a sight Men, wo:
man, and children, Russians and Prussians,
carriages and horses, oxen, chests and bag
gage, all lying one upon, another to the
height of a man! &Von' villages around
were in flames, and the inhabitants either
massacred or thrown into the fire ! •
"The poor wounded—What a horrid ex
hibition of the war spirit—were still firing
at one another in the greatestexasporation !
The field of battle was a plain two 'miles
and a half long, and wholly covered with
dead and wounded ; ,there was not even
room enough to set my foot without tread
ing on some of them! _Several brooks
were so filled up with Russians, that I do
affirm it they lay heaped one upon another
as - higha.stwo men, and appearedlike
to the even ground!
"I c itlil hardly rec over myself 'from the
fright occasioned by the miserable, outcry
of the wounded. A noble Prussian officer
who had lost both his legs, cried out to me,
-Au are a ;priest and Preaoh merely
pray shoW me some compassion and dis
patch me once,'"
Here is war; and can the disciples of the Prince
of Peace sanction such a mode of settling disputes
between rational civilized Christian men—between
nations any more than indiViduals In all this,
what is there which the Gospel can approve, or
on whicl,aGod of peace and love can look With
complacenay Yet such' things are insepafable

SCENES AFTER A BATTLE
A YOUNG LADY BURIED ALIVE.
Correvolidenrc of the N. if. Tribune
BALTixon}%, Nov. 26,1815
A most horrid case of burying alive oc
curred a few weeks since in our city, and
which, although generally talked of, has
out of respect to the friends of the deccas
ed,-been excluded from the public prints.
A young lady was taken sick, and
_died
t ,,.
very suddenly, as was supposed byt e
full l fit
fully and physician, and was placed i her
coffin and carried to the depository i t
the'
family, and placed in the family vault. A
few days afterwards on visiting the vault,
they were struck with the horrible sight of
the young lady in her burial clothing, out
of the coffin, and sitting up against the
side of the wall—dead !
As may be supposed, the discovery has
plunged a family and a large circle of ac 7
quabitances in the deepest anguish.. It
was found on examining the coffin, that the
lid had been forcibly pressed of by the
young woman, who had actually been bur
ied before the vital spark had fled, and
who had returned to consciousness, but to
die the most horrible: of deaths L Many
may doubt thiS, but it is tog true to be de
nied. •
"11C WASHINGTON MONUMENT SOCIETY
has, we learn, decided upon commencing
the work upon the proposed Monument - to
the Memory of WASHINGTON - SO soon as a
suitable site can ho obtained in this city for
that 'purpose. A very, fine design for. the
Monument, prepared by Mr RonnuT MILLS,
Architect, of this city, has been adopted,
and has been ordered to bp lithographed
and sold in aid of the fluids of the Society.
The cost of the execution of this design
will not exceed two- hundred thousand dol
lars ; towards which the Society has in
hands upwards of lifty thousand dollars.-- . ,-
IteasOnable expectations are entertained
that the residue of the.necessaty.suip will
be realized by another appeal to the patri
otism of the American People. We 'can
not suffer ourselves to doubt that this roll
ante will be thlly,justilied by the event.
AFRICAN COLONIZATION,—,The agent o
the New 'York- city colonization society
says that $17,000 had already been' sub
scribed towards the purchase of the on
ly. ter.4tory not belonging to the Amer

cape. Mount,. a distance along the coast
of about 300 miles. In the - proposed pur- ,
phase is included he famous slave,mart of
.
the, Gallinas, ' On Thursday' last only
.$3OOO more were required to effect this
great object, but tin Saturday the sum was
reduced to $2OOO by a donation of $lOOO
from a gentleman of New York. The pur
chase of this territory, it is supposed, would
put an end to the slave trade on that ex
tent of coast.

Flour Trade: i
- Tor. Wesr is literally pouring its prodOchi in
to the eastern markets. The arrivals at Albany
are beyond computation. Flour continues to.pour
in by thousands of barrels; there is no.roorn . for
it; the store-houses are full to overfieWing, - and
[boat loads upon boat loads are turned upon the ,
w harves. The weather is favorable. Scarce any
t
iceibas yet been formed in the-c a nal. to impede,
t miming of the boats, although a large. number
mve been laid up for the season.. An Albany pa
per of the 26th nit. says :
"As an instance of the immensebusiness
done in freights, we would state that .it is •
impossible for the tow boats
,to, carry all
the fl our, die. now awaiting shipment,
that steamboats arc now taking off large
quantities. The magnificent Hendrick .
Hudson this morning took 1000 bbls. of
flour, independent of other freight.
We counted In our harbor this morning
170 canal boats loaded with flour; :These -
carry, as we learn 'at the collector's office,
from
.450 to 800 barrels each, averaging at
least 000 barrels. This would make a to.
tdl of 102,000..4 Add te: this amount 10
large tow boats loaded, and several vessels
loaded, and loading,.and It will .maku *total.
of about 150,000 barrels - .

rods of the dock are covered four tier. deep .
.
with flour—at least 300 barrels. Besides
these items, immense tows have left for,
_N
York for the last three days, affil all our
flour dealershaie - their warehotises packed.
From these data, some idea may be fbrmed
of the. immense amount of this all Import
ant article which has been poured into Our
city for thetaireight or ton days."
