Here Barton twitched the string-—an
hang,bang, "roaring down the chimney,
louder tl1Aan.,a cannon, _cau1e._a — mingled.
flood of soutid, and soot, and wind. The
lights were all "extinguished, and the
room was full" of darkness, shrieks and
groans. Loud "above the din was heard
the voice of Elder Wliims, (wlio'"*'~had'
been sent across the room and landed on
the floor,A) exclaiming, “ Signsand won-
ders! signs“an'd wonders!” ‘ ‘

Though none were badly injured, all
at least, we're‘ badly filled ‘with terror-—
save, perhaps, the roguish Ned, who pul-
led the string,‘and "little Frank, who
made the thunder on the housetop" with
his ‘fathcr’s double barrelled gun. Frank
was-staiidiiig on the hay-cart as we left
"the house, ‘declaring that he ‘never saw
so big a ‘shooting. star before in all his
life as that which fell upon the chimney’
Elder"VVhi‘t'ns and all his followers con-
sidered it as nothing less than one of the
many signs and wonders of the A latt"er_

Saturday, A_Nov. A2lst, the ‘last, the long
expected day, the day of couflagra-
tion of AA the wicked, and " ascen-
sion of "the just‘, had now arrived.-
Tbat night before the clock struck 12
the trump would sound, millennial days
begin-—-oil’, Mr. Miller was mistaken !
Ned andI resolved to have [some sport
at least from neighbor 1-Iazizuerborn be-
fore he left the world, and made it in
our way to see him several times within
the week. In fine, the poor, deluded,
simple manlbelieved that we were Mil-
lerites. Ned had even gone so far as to
engage Mrs. I-Iazzerborn to makea robe_
for him similar to Mr. Hazzierborn
The p__loAt.was formed; the actors were
to be the same as those who rode in
Captain Johnson’s hay cart just a week
before. The singing party was to meet
as usual, at the house of Mary’s father.
Saturday, Nov. 21s., at 7 o’clock, P. M.

It was already dark, when I, in com-
pany with Jenny Steeples, Cyrus Griffin
and a Mr. VVhelpsA, the sexton, reached
the bottom of the hill befo_re the house
of neighbor Hazz_erbor_n - It was agreed
that I and Whelps, who wished to
be a witnessef the sport, should stop
at the house of the Millerite, while Jen
ny and Cyrus hastened up to Captain
Johnson’s. A " ‘ I _ A

The family were dressedin white ‘as-
cension robes,’ and waiting for the signal
to ascend. I approached the broken
windo\v of the,kit,chenA;! Whelps procee
dad to the door, and Awithhis heavy wal-
king stick gave such a knock Aas brought
the startled Milleritesupott their feet.—
Another kno"ck—-the latch gaAve._way and
the sexton entered.» .

“ Well, well,”,said Whelps, “ I didn’t.
’speActH,to find you going to bed this time
0’ night, faith !.seems to me you’ve got
some tarnal curious looking night-gowns
tl:-ere ‘.’ ’: _- '

“ Ah, Mr. Whelps,” was llazzerborns
reply. -‘"‘ these are not night.gowns, Mr.
Wh8lvp8;” ‘

“-Faith, I shouldn't think they was,
SayS3Wh8ipS; “ folks don’t commonly,
unless,they’r_e drunk, wear gowns and
boots-to bed!” ‘ A _ _-

" There, there, them boots on yet!”
said; Betsey ; “ them old cow-hide boots!
do take them off—you never will be
ready!” V , = i
“R.eady.'.’ ready for .what ?”A says
Wlielps. 2: I ‘. L . -

“ There, there, it is! the ’ trumpet
sounds!” cries, Betsey as the sound of a
trombone in the distance reached their

ears. A
“ There, there, they come! the mid-
night cry.!’;' says granny. “ Lord of
massy! .0, where is my glasses and my
psaAlm-bo,ok,«,too_'l” . __ _
Again the trombone sounded louder,
nearer than before. . V
g-A-1“ There it is again—the second trump
—and them old bootsAa_in’t off,” said Bet-
sey. ' .' . ; V
“ Sit‘downA—-sit down—I'll pull your
boots off for you,” shouted VVhelps.
Hazzerborn threw himself into a chair
VVuelps seized one_ boot and Betsey tlie
Other. Again the trumpet sounded.
“There it is again,” said Betsey ;
pull, pull.” And suiting the ‘action to
the word, Whelps and Betsey pulled
with such effect that in half a second,
p001‘ MI. Hazzerborn found himself on
the floor, and in his stocking feet.-
Again the trombone sounded still lottder.
and nearer than before, and Barton, clo.
tiled in white, appeared before me.
. " I am going in,” said he, N to join
the chosen flock.‘ As soon as I am in,
do you shout something at the dog,
in Greek or Latin, in as solAeAmAn tones as
possible, and vanish. I will ‘be inter.
preter." " -- S , _
, He‘ e.nteréd,"and seizing Hazzerborn
by the hand, exclaimed in terror :

A “ Up‘. up"! Gog and Magog! Gog
and Magog! Up, tlteAAmAidnight cry !”

“ En arche en /10 logos, kai, ho logos
en proston T/reon,‘[crii: Th.eas_ on ha 10

tural toues——the first ‘verse of John, i_n
Greek ; “ En arc/re en Ito logos, frat’, ko
lagos,enproszon T/icon, kai Tlzeosf en

gingjiarty, Who, as on the previous Sat-
 night, were coming downA the hill
in,,(AA3A_gptain J ohnson7s hay-cart. A A

,»§..A__,S_igns-and .wo11_de,rs.! signs_'and won-

“ O my dear brother Barton, who and

Millerite.

“Prepare to go! Behold the bride-

_ Again the troAn1_bAoAne and the sound of
‘ma-ny voices;.s[iiigi‘ng," break -~—upon their
ears. 0

“ Farewell, farewell,” cries Mr. Haz-
AAzerborh,:sbizii1g§'VVhel‘p’s hand, “ Fare.
AwellA, yoAuAA_have Aalways been a good
neighbor, "and O that y¢ii""t-me prepared
togo." “Brit alas", even so it was in the

“ But stop, old cl1aAp,’A’ said Whelps,
you don’tget oAfi‘Aso AgAA2A‘asy§ That little
bill of mine agai11AstAAy’('A>Au.”, . .

“ Too late ! too late! you should have
mentioned iAt_A_lJAefore,A” responded’ Mr.
lIazzerbo1'i1, pressing Wlhelpsbelfore him
toward the door. Again the music
bursts upon them.

“ But thAat_A'bill--that bill, sir, mus_t be
paid,’? Acontinued AVVl1elps, “or I will
have a sheriff after yo11 before you get a
‘lbzen rods.” " A l I

“Alas, alas,” replied the poor delu-
ded man, “I have no money left—-I gave
it all to Elder VVhims.” ‘

“Your farm '3” said Wltelps.

“ Gone, gone to the elder, too.”

“ Then I must take the body !” ans-
wered VVhelps ; and suitingthe action
to the word, threw his" brawny arms
about his neighbor, and began to draw
him back. "Mrs. I-Iazzlerborn and Gran-
ny flew to the rescue, while the children
clinging to their mot"her’s robe, began to
cry. - ' A . A .

Here the ‘ music ceased ; and Cyrus,
panting for breath, came rushing in, ex-
claiming: A‘ ' V

"Gog and Magog! Gog" and Magog!
Thunderation, Mr. Hazzerborn, did you
see him ?—tli:l you see .9”

“\Vhat in the name of all the Beelze-
bubical spirits in Bill "Miller, Cyrus, is
the matter ?” said Mr.!VVhelpS.

“Matter, matter,” answered Cyrus,
wiping his forehead with his lougwliite‘

‘the centre of whicli his head was stuck.
“Matter? gosh! enough to fill‘ a hay-
cart.” » ‘ - "- ". .
‘ “Speak it '.out.,’’- said VV-helps. “Was
ita ghost, ora devil, or a" man, ‘or alwa-
ma'n,Aor Awh-at kind of a AAb"east was it,
you’re trying to’ tell about '!”‘
"O,!Mr’_iVV’helps,’-’> said “Mr; ‘I-Iazzer_
born, “Ll1is‘i"s ‘a"'day of signs a.nd ‘wonders
Thetime is at"'hand—"-the‘ "messenger has
come-—the midnight cry has been l1eAardA
the-forerunner has just depa1'ted;" ‘
‘‘He’s a tarnal smart runner any way,”
the hill like a streak of thunder and
lightning, shouting louder than the roar
of Deacon Steeples’s old bull‘—-"-and such
a langua‘ge—gosl1'. A I don't believe that
Parson Greene nor the devil himself,
could understand it.”

“Brother -B:arton‘did;”’ responded Mr,
Hazzerborn. “And 0. Mr. Barton, did
he not "tell" us “to be ready-—tl1at the
bridegroom con1eth——that the virgins: and
the chariot areAeven now upon the way”

“Evenso,” said ‘Ned. “But hark !—
the trump 4! resounds again ! again !-

VVe must go ‘forth to meet them, ere it
be too late !” and he and Cvrus, follow-
ed by the crest, sprang with all possible
expedition, frointlie roomf Cyrus twan-
gedhis Ainstrutnen‘t"ofbrass; Frank "res-
ponded with his sonorous trump of tin,--
and the whole party dressed in robes or

approached‘ in , Captain Jol1n_son’s hay-
cart. The oxen, too, were wrapped i11
white ghostly sheets‘; while a flaming
pitch-pine knot, fastened to the-end of a
hay-pole, waved above them‘. ," VAVhen
opposite the door, the music ceased, the
oxen stopped, and all were still as death.
Here again I shouted in the unknown
tongue, a11d Ned again imerprdted": _
_‘‘Behold the bridegroom and the vir-
gins come! Behold the chariot and the
steeds thereof! "HA0, all ye Millerites,

Aga1n,AtheAfi.~h-hAorn and the base-drum
andlthe trombone sounded; again" the
solemn song arose from twenty voices,
and the team moved on. I Hazzerborn,
Betsey, Granny and ‘the Ajchildrenf were
hastily huddled and tumbled into" the
middle of the l1ay—cart chariot, a11d seat-
ed 011 the bottom. Surrou_ndedAand blin

robes of the party, and deafened by the
music and singing, poor Mr. Hazzerboru
and family could neither see nor l1ear.—
A'l‘he" barn Astood nearly opposite the house
and into this, ere he was aware, between
two mows of hay, the hay-caArt, with its
living load, was driven-. " "
N_o_As,ooner were theypin the barn, than

out again. The doors were quickly shut
and fastened on the outer side. Thus
Mr. 1-Iazzerborn and family, instead of
mounting! up like angels in,the air, above
thewicked world, remained as prison-
ers inhis‘ barn,.unti,l' _Novernbe1' twenty-
S‘?C°llF3 $A When, the ‘danger being" passed,
their neighbors deemed it safe to let thern
out. VVh__ether this A unexpected deten-
tion had anything to do in ‘preventing
the fulfillment of Mr. Miller’s prophecy,
is_ more than I can say. , ,

A Hints to Farmer.
A bare pastureenriches not ‘the soil,

nor fattens the animal, nor increases" the
wealth of the owner. V

One anitnal well" fed," islof more ‘value
than twopoorly kept. "

The better anitnals can be fAed,and_ the
more comfortable they can be kept, the
more profitable they a‘re——-and all the
farmers work"for" "profit."

" Ground once well ploughed is better
than thrice poorly,‘ '

BAa"utiful crops are more profitable than
poor ones. 'Makethe soil rich, pulver-
ize it well, andkeep itlclcan, and it will
generally be productive. 0 ‘

Weeds that grow unmolested around
the fences, slumps, and stones’, scatter
their seed over the farm, and are very
likely to‘groAw. A 1

‘Cords well fed in the winter, give more
milk in‘ the sumrner." ‘An ox that is in
good condition -in the spring, will perform
rnore labor andistand theheat of summer
much better than one that is ‘poor. C

When you see" the fence do\v11, put it
up—if it Areniains until to-morrow, the
cattle may get over. I ,

What ought to be done to-day do it,

for to-morrow_ it may rain. AA

A strong horse will work all day with-"
o11t food Lut keep him at it and he will
not last lonrr. AA " T "
'°A7ricli s'oil'wi1l produce a good crop
without ma,uure,:but it will soontire.

 

THE WAY T0‘SPOiL Po'rA"'rons.'—-It is a
little singular that "many w‘ho"are other--"

cooked is“ wonderfully simple. They‘

do it ; ‘and eat water logged potatoes in
conse.1uence. S A Better put their cover out
of sight, even if the potatoes should
cool ‘a few minutes sooner on that ac-
count; Boiled potatoes intended for the

IA.7A=Rl\IING IN IowA.——-A farm of 300
acres, near Council Bluffs, has been cul
tivated this season in the following pro-.,
p_ortious——l00 acres in wheat, 50 acres
in oats, 5 acres in potatoes and the re-
mainder corn.A The labor of only five-
men and six horses has been employed
in its cultivation. , The crops were allex-A
t"etnly l1eavy——tAl1e average ye_Aild of corn
being nearly 75 bushels to the acre,A
