One afternoon, as Morleyand his sister
were walking by the river side enjoying
the fine air of that season, they met Otho
an-d Weenora.- This turre‘xpee,ted.encoun-
ter was pleasura‘ble‘to all parties, if indeed
we exccpt Edward, who was more than
ever annoyed that he should find two he-
ings, one of whom he loved most dearly,
and the other hated most heartily, walking
together. He stifled his feelings in a_ de-
gree, however, while he introduced his
sister to Weenora, but could not refrain
from casting a glance at the Indian, that
told more plainly than words how gladly
he would have consigned him to the bot-
t’om'of the rapid, which had so nearly en-
gulphed the fair maiden, who was the un-
conscious cause of this most uncharitable
desire. Susamafterlconversing a moment
or two with Weenora, addressed a ques-
tion to her companion, and to her surprise
was answered in as pure English as her
own. Willing to give her brother a little
time with Mowehue’s daughter, she com-
menced a sprightly conversation with
Otho which was maintained on his part
with tperrfect freedom, and without the
least ,hes~intancy. In short, after‘ the‘ party
had‘ seperated, and they \_vere_ returning
home, Susan declared to her brother that
she had not met with a tnore entertaining
companion for many a day._--
‘How was thva-t '!5’. Edward, ‘could
he speak and understand our language 1.’
“Understand me’! indeed could he, and
answer me too as well as yourself, and
perhaps much more to my satisfaction. I
could hardly believe the evidence of my
senses, but thought that either my eyes or
ears were deceiving me. Otho is well
informed, at least as your charmer, and
but for his color I should have taken him
for one of the higher classes of our coun-
trymen. VVho knows but I may find abus-
band here after all I’
‘What! a maiden of ‘such pure and an-
cient blood’ marry an Indian 1.’
‘But you must consider the c2'rcums/ances,
my dear brother. Just to please you I
have come here and secluded myself in
$his"'ru'de, out-of-the-world place, and most
prob-trblly m-list take up with an Indian hus-
band, or live single all my life, which you
must acknowledge would be the severest
afilictionyou could impose on me,’ she
said laughing. ‘But how stands affairs at
resent between» you and \Veenora 'l’
3 ._"W'e"Jl enough, I should hope, if that post
wairout of the way. I. made her acquaint-
ed with my sentiment toward her this af-
ternoon, and met with sympathy at least
in return.‘ But when I offered her my
hand, she referred me to her parents, at
the same time expressing her fears that
l\'Iotvel1'ue would withhold his consent.’
‘Then there was no objection on /zer
partf?’ ,
‘Not the least I could learn. But I am
resolved to go tomorrow and learn the
decision of her parents whatever it may
be. Will you accompany me’! You will
find Alpoorah a very agreeable compan-
ion.’
‘With all my heart, Edward, I suppose
Otho will be there!’

_ The anxiously ex-pected Gteat \Vestern
has arrived at la-st—aftcr having been
storm sta-yed-and weather beaten until her
ilnma-tesihad Well nigh despaired of ever
fieeing dry land again. She brings tidings
of disaster and W0 to Western Europe in
the failure of the Potatoe and the deficien.
cy ofotber Harvests, which are calculated
to increase the demand for and enhance
the-price of our own staple products of
flood‘ very materially. Thousands will be
benefitted, afew score enriched, by the
reports of European markets and prices
which the Telegraph yesterday bore, in a
few moments after their receipt. to VVash-
iington, Boston, and Buffalo, whence fleet
stcamboats and horses are bearing them
to every part of our country. There is
great danger that the mad speculation of
last Autumn are to be enacted over again,
ultimately causing the bankruptcy of very
many who are now in comfortable circum-
stances, and possibly deranging the cur-
rency and business of the country.
VVorse-even than this result is that pas-
sion for gambling in the necessaries of life
wbichzsuchs tidings of yesterday’s, such a
course of trade as we are now entering
upon, are calculated to foster and inflame.
Our people will be tempted to forget that
this European demand for our grain is
not regular and lrcalthful but casual and
fortuitous-——a consequence not of growth
and vigor but of disease and atrophy.-
Hundreds will be sufficiently unprincipled
to say, “Behold here a result of the relax-
‘ing oftariffs in Great Britain and Amer-
‘ica! Behold the prices which our farmers
‘arse to realize for their grain under free
‘trade-I” These know well that this isjust
as much a result of the modification of
tariffs as of the ravages of the East Indian
Cholera; but the less informed thousands
do not know it. They will calculate that
this British demand for grain, being caused '
by the new tariffs, will be still greater next
year than this; the area sown to wheat
will be rapidly enlarged, while our borne
market for it will be narrowed by the
purchase in increased ratio of our cloths
and wares abroad; and the. first good crop
in Europe, if our own be fai_r also, will bur.
then our farmers-w.i!.h an enormous surplus
for which they u:i.ll’~fiind' no market but at
prices ruinously low. This is the result
‘to which we clearly tend-*—a pree__arious,
gambling condition oflabor and business,
-in which the mass of our farmers will
labor to produce a crop in doubt whether
their recompense shall be liberal, meagre or
utterly wanting-—an uncertainty inevitably
fatal to persistent, regular Industry. We
shall be agreeably disappointed if even
two years pass without giving the larger
the European scarcity of which the results
are now hailed with such general and‘
eager delight. Meantime those who. win
will laugh and cast. apprehension to the
or rather to recall, our fore_bodings._
But theretiis another feature of our for-
eign advices which we regard witha live-
]v and joyous interest. VVe allude to the
riew British mode of dealing with Irish
complaints and grievances. Instead of
doubling the troops, or even the Police,
and passing coercion bills, as would have
been done a few years since in View Of
apprehended famine in Ireland, the British
Ministry has resolved to provide relief on
a gigantic scale forthe suffering Irish by
giving them EMPLOYMI-ZX\"l‘. No new Poor-
Law, Bastiles or Curfcw bills, but new ca-
nals, railroads, bog draining, &c.——t'hese
are the means resorted to in preparation
for an expected scarcity of food. Meal in
vast quantities is sent into Ireland, and
work devised at which the poor are to be
steadily and usefully employed until the
crisis is past. Such is the new safe-
guard against the anticipated turbulence
and sedition of starving millions; who
will say that it is not an improvement?-
llow many thousands on thousands is not
England supporting in Poor I-Iouscs, year
after year, who, with anacre and a cottage
to each family, would more comfortably
support themselves? Why should not
Public Charity, to all but the incurably in-
firm, ultimat ly take this shape altogether,
and secure to each unfoetunate a place to
live and a chance to work, rent free and
inalienable, instead of subsisting him at a
heavy annual charge in an Alms House?

The following is a.’ fbrief summary of the
Elections of 1,846 :
New Hampshire; Strongly loico foco
for seventeen years past; now a whig
Governor and whig plurality in the Legis-
lature, with a strong anti-Polk and anti-
Texas majority in each House; Joseph
Cilley U. S. Senator for two years, John
P. Hale ditto for the six succeeding years;
both anti-Polk and anti-Texas; with the
State districted for i\Iembers of Congress,
and .tbe U. S. Land distribution fund rc-
ceivcrl. This is the most remarl.'able po-
litical revolution of our day, and bids fair
to be enduring.
Rbodelsland; whig, as usual: all round.
Connecticut: A decided \\ big plurality
on every State officer, yet a loco foco
minority Iflxecutive put in by the indirect
aid of l;’irneyism and the direct influence
of rum.
Kentucky: Legislature only; thor>ugh-
ly Whig, by an increased majority.
‘Indiana: Loco foco Governor reelected
by a majority something greater than
l’olk’s; Senate ditto by two majority ;—
House whig by six and joint ballot ditto
by four. Last year Senate tied; Ilouse
and joint ballot loco by ten majority.
Illinois: State ticket loco by an increas-
cd majority, no serious effort being made
by the whigs. One whig Congressman
as before; another defeated by Mormon
votes at N-auvoo. A loco elected in anoth-
er district by whig votes-
Missouri and Arkansas: Loco, \\ itlt no
serious effort by the u bigs; whig gain in
the Arkansas Iegisluturc.
Louisiana: Loco as it had been for some
years; Governor and L‘-gislature carried
by an increased majority.
North Carolina: Whig all over, electing
a whig Governor by double Mr. Clay’s
majority; I egisl..ture, whig in both
branchcs—-the Senate a gain; two U. S.
Senators to be chosen; one of them a gain.
Virginia: Loco foco as usual.

of the ‘.24-d nlt. states that the Mormons
have all left Nuuvoo and Hancock county.
None remain except the Committee to

The St. Louis Republican in the course
ofa rather severe article on the Mormon
war, asks :
In the mean time, what is to become of
the infuriated but most unjustly treated
Mormons? During the Spring and Suin-
mer, they have been so harrassed by their
pcrsecutors that they have been unable to
' make provision against thv- coming winter,
and nowthat an inclement season is at
!hanrl, they are sent forth to seek a place
of refuge in the wilderness. Truly their
lcondition is a most deplorable one, and
gone which appeals strongly to the sympa-
lthies of the humane, of whatever religious
ibelief they may he. VVC hope, for human-
ttv’s sake, that the han_'l of Covcrnment
may be stretched forth for their relief.

The following or-{tract from this state-.nout'.
willgivo some faint; idea of the awful scene,
from which a lllL‘.!'clful l’1'ovit‘.oncc has dcl'.vct'(-.<l
them.
To convey an idea of the appearance of
all around, is out of my power. In the
words of Sheridan, “the tempest roamed
in all the terror of its glory." The at-
mosphere was snrr-.bar_ged with a thick
spray, rendering a look far out to sea im-
possible. The wind howled, roared and
bellowed, like the constant mutterings of
the thunder cloud. Huge waves of tre-
mendous height and volnm", rose in marl
display around the ship, tbreutning every
moment to break over us, amid.»-hips and
crush the vessel Sea after sea striking
us with terrific noise, caused the gallant
ship to stop for an instant, tremble and
shake in every timber from her stem to
her stern posts, reeling and lurcbir_r_r,
tossed to and fro, again would she gatlter
lll'.l in the Wild waters, again and again
recClV0 the thundering blows ofan element
that scorned armed for our destruction.
The sails on the yards, strongly secured
by ropes and gaskets, were blown from
their furls and streamed out to leeward in
ribbons. But all this was notlting.~—
About I P. .\I., whilst most of us were
seated in agonizing suspense in the lower
cabin, holding fast to the tables and set
recs, :1 sea struck the vessel, and a tremen-
dous cr:1sb was heard on deck; instantly
the cabin was darkened, and torrents
water came pouring down upon us through
the sky lights.
Scarcely lnul the wafers reached the
floor when all in the cabins and state rooms
sprang to their feet, and simultaneously,
as if by concert, the ladies uttered a scream
of agony, so painful, so fearful, and so do-
spairing, the sound of it will never befor-
gotten; and heaven grant that such a wall
of anguish may never again be heard by
me. Several fuinter.l— others clasped their
hands in tnute (lespair, \\'l:llsl.m:1llV “called
aloud upon their Creator.” —
The crash to which the writer alludes
was caused by the tearing up of the benches
and other wood work on the quarter dc-c.:~ .
'I‘l.cse were hurled with violence zrgztittst
the sky lights, by the same sca nhicb
broke the \\ intlows of the saloon, tlrct:c.lt-
ing the berths on the lurboard side, driving
out their afftrigltterl occupants, \\l:il.~t it
smashed by its tvcight the _g_vl:tss over the
main cabin, and thus forcetl its \vay below.
This was a period of intense emotion.
I was sitting in the upper sa.oon, striving
to protect some ladies from injury. So
violent were the shocl-:3 of the vessel, a‘-
though firmly brucel, it was \‘t'll.ll great
difficulty we could prevent ourselves being
buried from our seats, and dashed with
such violence ag'ainst a part of the vessel,
as to endanger life or limb. lllany receiv-
ed serious contnsions and bruises, not-
withstanding all their efforts. .
’T\v-as an anxious hour. My eye wan

loon, resting one while on a Fz.xtlret' puss-

that would cotnpare with this remedy in
the management of the disease.
The method of treatment is this:—
\Vhen the animal is attacked, he should‘
be put into the stable and allowed no food
or drink except dry bay and milk porridge,
thickened with wheat flour. No kind of
grain should be allowed until perfcct‘y
well. As soon as he is in his stable, ta' e
one pint of vinegar, add one table spoon :
ful of alum, and when dissolved, divide
into three equal‘parts, and give one part
every two hours. In three hours after
the last dose give the porridge; but
not until then. In case he will not drink
it, give it occasionally by pouring down.
This is generally sufficient; but in ca.-"e
the horse is not better within ten hours
after the last (lose of vinegar and alum,.
prepare another pint and give as before.
Rely upon this simple treatment and do
not;_doctor too much. I have no doubt
that thousands of horses in this rlisease
are doctored to death. Bleeding is very
bad: indeed it is almost sure to prove
fatilb No pbysic is needed, as the disease
goes off gradually but surely, and leaves
the bowels in a natural and healthy state.
Be sure to allow no cold water or grain
until the horse is well, and keep him from
exposure to night air especially. I feel
Sale to saying that this mauagrment, if

without a syllable being ‘uttered, but the

er gathered around, and all seemed bowed
down to earth in one common feeling of
temler solicitude for those who might so
soon become helpless orpi ans.
It was an awful hour. 'I he most
thoughtless amongst us cowcrcd in their
secrcthc-art before a danger which none
buta fool or brute would have mocked,
and all therefore accepted the invitation to
meet in the cabin for prayer.
Rev. Mr. Marslt read the 107th Psalm
Rev. Dr. Smucker prayed. Rev. Dr.
I'l(‘BCll€l‘ made a few solemn remarks.——
Rev. Dr. l‘-alch repeated the words of our
Saviour, “Let not your heart be troubled,
ye believe in God, believe also in me,”——
commenting briefly on their consoling im-
port, and then invited all present tojoin in
the Lord’s Prayer after v.hich he_ pro-
nonnced the Apostlc-’s benediction.
N-'ght approached. Ard again I quote
frotn the gentleman who had kindly given
an account of what took place below.
“Amid this accumulation of horrors,
and still more to add to our alarm, night
gathered in around us. The wind far
fsom abnting, was on the increase. The
lulls in the storm being less frequent, and
the squalls if any thing more tt*1'rific.—'
The whole ocean was one sea of foam,
lashed up into terrible waves, wild and
angry, whilst the spray and wind seemed
driven through the rigging and over the
ship, _as if with demonical power. As
darkness came, clustered together in "the
cabin, We all thought and reflected on our
fate. Most, if not all of us, had given
,_themselvcs up for lost. For what with
fresh st.cngth, and with her wheels half
of
the heavy laboring of the ship, the-terrible
noise and. howling of the wind, the. contin-
ued frequent lhumpings of the 'ses, the
quivering and _,sha--i-ng of tb'e‘-groaning
timbers, the carrying away of so-many
portions of the vesscl’s upper wor" s, and
the knowledge that we were perhaps for
another -night to be exposed 10 the full
power of a raging hurricane, left us little
to hope for.”
In the evening, alont 9 o’cloc' , the Rev.
hlr. Belch, at the rerjuest of several pass-
engers, arlministercd the Iloly Communion,
in the cabin, to up\'.':trrls of sixty persons,
many of whom reueivcrl it there for the
first time in their lives. Several applied
to him as to the proprict__v of their embrac-
ing that occasion to fulull a long clteri..l‘ted
purpose of their hear-ts, but uhicb, like
many other “good thoughts,” had been
deferred to a “more convenient season.”
They all comrmmica'.crl, together with
others of almost every crerd and natie n,
thus rcrr=iuding us of the prouaise ofScrip
ture, “The_\-' shall come from the East and
\Vr~st, the North and the South, and sit
down with _Abrahat'n and Isaac and Jacob,
in the kingdom of God.”
It was avmost solemn sccnc. I\'Ir. Bulch
first read the service appointed for :1 storm
at sea, after which, the \\-bole communion
oflice. The terrible conflict of tl.e ele-
ments which raged without, was rendered
yet more striking by the imprsssive still-
ness uhich pervaded the company of
Christ’s disciples within.
Gathered around the table, they receiv-
cd into hearts deeply moved, the conse-
crated emblems of the Rerlecmer’s body
and blood All fe't comforted by the
blessed ordinance of grace. Many a ho-
som bcfore tossed. with fear, was now
tranquil through faith. Once more all
renewed their vows, and realized the peace
of God shed abroad in their hearts, and
fell, witha vividness pcrhaph never be"-
fore known, “Your life is bid with God in
Christ.” Oh! it was a night and a com-
munion long to be remembered.
After the communion, I returned to my
state room. The gentleman who shared
it with me, had gone below to die, as be
expected, in company with his daugbte

of the New Yorl-: Recorder speaks in the
highest terms of the Ameican clergymcn
who appeared atthe recent meeting of the
ldvangclical A lliancr-, in London. He says;
“Irrcsp~ctive of this ve:-ted question, lht‘
visit of your excellent countrymen has
proved very ucc"ptuble to our fuu'rilie;~' and
churches. Wherever I go I bear their
praise sounded. Dr. Cox is universally
spo' on of as the most commanding speak-
er in the conference, and he has also bore
the palm at the public meetings. 'l he
sermons of American divines have been
much com,mendc-d,’uud from their example
some of our own prcacliers might profita-
bly learn to point their scntimc-nt.~, logici:-ze
their argumetation, and retrench their re-
tlunrlunces. The English pulpit is too de-
clamatory ; the Scottish too dry; the Anter-
ican, if we may judge from the specimens
we have bad, appears to hold the jusle
7m'f'/'ctt between them. \_\-’e all regret that
our trans-atlantic friends were so hard
worl-ed as not to have leisure for looking
about them.”
