Suddenly a violent shock was felt send ing a thrill through my heart, for I ex. pected to see the whole house come falling upon us. The cloud bad once more closed up, and darkness again covered the rapidly repeated flashes of lightning only rendering it more impenetrable; while tbe roaring of the wind, and the crashing of 'the thunder, made up a hid eous tu.nuh such as appalled the heart, and almost annihilated the mind. I have but a very dim recollection of what afterward transpired, till I found myself descending the ladder with Mr. Gordon ; but I knew that before we closed ihe trap the storm had resumed its empire and the vibration of the walls told me they could not stand1 long unless il abated. When we had done this, tho-igh the Bounds from above were every now and then startling and appalling, we were in comparative quietude, and were enabled to relieve our dumb-sbow by the inter change cf thoughts and feelings. To hear the sound of our own voices and communicate our thoughts by words, after the overpowering din by which we had for the last hour been encompassed, was a comfort which words can not ex press. The releaf to poor Mrs. Seuter must have been immense, for now she could hear herself speak, and listen to her groans. "The Lord preserve u?;" she exclaim ed;" but this is awful. I shall die with fright. If I had never left Aberdeen I ehould never have Gracious powers, tvhat's that? We shall all be swallowed up!" At this moment there was a report and then a rolling crash over head, which made the earth shake beneath us- "That's the house gene," said Mr. Gordon quietly. "I expected it would not hold up long." This was followed by a wail among the negresses, and a young girl rose up. exclaiming: "Eh, me Gad! I left my piccauiny sieep : warra I do now! Tan away der tan away let xne go fetch him." "Cough-body!' replied en old woman; you ia mad, you lef senses wid you pic caniny too. - Tan till." Garramighty take care of piccaning now nobody else can. This, however, did not seem to afford much comfort to the poor girl, who did nothing. but sit and wail. My mind had hitherto been so ocupied that I had not time to take in the pecu liarities of the scene by which we were surrounded. Immured in a large, dark vault, lit only by the feeble rays of two candles and a lamp which hung from the ceiling, there was just sufficient light to give everything, except those within the radius of these lights, a grotesque or dia bohcal aspect. The negroes in the dis tance, most or wnom were nuaaiea on the floor, appeared the very persomfica tioo ot spirits of darkness awaiting their condemnation; one old negro, tall and spectral, in the back ground, looking like a benevolent demon gloating over their fall. During more than an hour we remained in a slate of incertitade as to what was going cn above us ; all we knew was that the noise of ihe storm had sensibly dimin ished. At last I could hold out no longer. and mounting the ladder, I endeavored to open the trap, that I might see what was the state of things above ground. I undid the latch, and essnyed to lift up the door : but my strength was not sufficient to lift il. I called up Mr. Gordon and one of the negroes, but our united strength failed to move a ; and at last, after re peated efforts, we were faiatogive over, for it become clear that the ruins of the house had fallen over us, and till assis tance could be obtained from above we were prisoners. Our position was by no means an en-;able one, for we had no idea when, even if ever, we should be released, and our slock of food was very scanty. But this was not the worst evil we had to encounter, for presently, as we sat, a low mysterious . rumbling came from the bowels of the earth. A few minutes elapsed, and the noise increased reached us the earth rose under our feet the whole edifice reeled the walls cracked and the ladder leading to the trap split inio fragments, and felf among the negroes, whose wild and despairing cries filled the vault. It was a moment cf intense agony. We all stood transfixed with awe, for we expected nothing less than that the earth was about to open and swallow us up. No sooner had the earthquake passed &tn a new c an rer menaced us. Through cae of the cracks in the wall water was towicg rapidly, and the floor of the vault was already covered some inches deep. At first, neither Mrs. Seuter nor the negroes seemed to comprehend this ; but as the water rapidly increased, Mrs. Seuier became alive to her peril. "Why," the exclaimed, starting cp "we shall all b9 drowned! Is there no means of escape! Canyou think of no way of extricating 'us!" ihe asked of me. "None whatever," I replied. "We are in the hands of God ; He alone can help us, if it is His good pleasure." The old ladies countenance became ashy pale, and then she threw up her arm and slrieked : I'll can't die I won't die! Will nc body save me? I'll give anything I'll buy your freedom, and make you rich " she continued, turn ing to the negroes. "Ese ma'am, we save you if we can ; we no let buckra, ladies die if hel it ; but nioer life as good as anybody's nr.d bum-by, when de water come ober de head, we no help ourselves ; we all be like den we ell be free, and rich too, de Lord be praise !" m As the watejrose it was quite a study to watch the faces of those about me particularly of the negroes. Tba grad ual transition from anxiety to fear, and from ihat to the wildest despair, would have been ludicrous in the extreme had not our situation been so appalling. While all round were crying and wail ing, however, Mary and Grace were perfectly quiet. Their courage did not fail them for an instant, though the water had now reached above their knees. In the faces cf the girls might be read that uncomplainingfortitude, which is a spec ial characteristic of Anglo-tropical wo men. The contrast between their calm ness and the wild despair of Mrs. Seuter and the negroes was very noticeable. It was a time to try the courage of any one. Mr. Gordon I knew was not wanting in courage, but his fortitude seemed to have forsaken him. His looks were wild ; ihe muscles of his mouth twitched and quivered, and now and theu be mut tered something that I could not hear. Inch by inch the water rose till it reach- ea my waistcoat, une uy one uie uui tons disappeared, as each minute our enemy gained upon us. Still I was loth to relinquish all hope. Meantime, not a word had been uttered or an exclamation made by Mr. Gordon or his daughters. Mrs. Seuter had ceased her cries, for she had persuaded a tall negro to hoist her upon his shoulders, where she sat grasping one of the candles with great satisfaction. She was in a fool'si parad- ies, for she did not remember that the instinct of life was as strong in the negro as in herself, and that the moment the water rose high enough to endanger the life of the negro he would in all proba bility leave her to faie. We must calmly await the approach of that death which was slowly creeping upon us. A moment of more awful supense could not be contemplated. I have been through many perils, but never anything like this. A man may be brave when his blood is hot, and the tide of battle carries him on; but to stand still and see the grim destroyer coming nearer and nearer, minute by minute, inch by iuch, requires a very different sort of courage. The water had by this time reached almost to our shoulders and I felt my fortitude giving way ; I wanted to call aloud, to shriek for help; there was something so horrible in the idea of being thus drowned, like rats in a cellar, that I recoiled from it. All this takes little time to describe ; but the rise of the wa ter was so slow that more than half an hour had elapsed since it first entered the vault. And now again comes the rumbling of the earthquake, and the sick ening, sensation of its shock. Theplace shook the water was agitated, and partially subdued. For a lime I could not believe my eyes ; I expected to see it rise again; but I watched it closely and found, to my great joy, that it was rapidly diminishing. It was certainly a moment of intense relief, though our dan ger was Dot all over. We were saved from immediate death: but how were we to be extricated from our living tomb ! how were we to make our situation known to others ! For seveal hours we remained in this state part of the time with the addi tional horror of darkness, for the lights had burned out, and we had no others to replace them. I can't tell if I or any one else slept, but I know that after a time we all appeared in a state cf stupor, for nut a wofd was uttered. At one time I fancied my senses were leaving me. for my brain was filled with mange unearthly visions. From this I was suddeny aroused by the most appalling shrieks. "What is it!" asked I. "What is the matter?" "The water coming again ! Don't yon hear it? cried Mrs. Seuter. I listened. There wa; a noise certain ly, but it did not appear to be of water; then it ceased. I felt about me; but my senses were so numbed that I could not tell if the watei was rising or fall ing, or, indeed, if there was any water at all I listened again, and nost certain ly there were sounds, and that they come from above was unmistakable. At first they were indistinct, but each mo ment they became plainer, and at' last I could distinguish the blows of picks, then the noise of shovels, and these at last were mingle with the shouts of hu man yoices. Help was truly at hand. The sense of repiieve from such a sit uation was more than the most stoical could have borne with indifference, and we all joined in the shouts of the negroes to their comrads above. A few minutes after this, to our inexpressible delight, the trap opened, and a gleam of sun light burst in upon us. I shall not attempt to depict our feel ings or the wild joy of the negroes buth above and below: nor shall I be able to give any correct notion cf the manner in which Mrs. Seuter conducted herself, so fraoctic was her joy. I only knew that Mr. Gordon and his two daughters em braced me in their excitement, and that I thought the latter experience very agreeable. Our final deliverance was delayed for some time for the want of a ladder. While one was being procured the ne groes and people above were very anx ious to know if we were all safe. Dar Massa Gordon." said one. "And dar Misse Grace and Mary," exclaimed another. "And tJeleetie buckra, Massa Oozon"j ( the nearest srnroximation to Spunyary a negro could .make,) "he right too "Me nccaninv, me piccaniny, : cnea the poor young mother from below.

It is'singular, but neverless true, that amidst the wreck of the negro village the child was fourd unhurt, and, in a few minutes after we reached the ground, was in the arms of its' mother. . The first thing we did on our arrivel at the surface was to look round to . see the devastation which the hurricane had produced. The scene of distruotion which -baffles description. The' whole face of the country was, as it were, changed. It poked as though a burning blast had traversed the island, for, where yester day evrything was green and luxuriant, all was now bare and black. So marv elous a transformation in so short time I had never seen; vegetation, human habi tations, and animal life had all vanished. Paradise itself was a mass of ruins, and the su?ar-works were trreatly dam aged, but Mr. Gordon bore his loss with great equanimity. QarTreseue mas due to a party of hands employed at a cove about a mile and a half distant from the house, where Mr. Gordon had a landing-place, and who, although they had been exposed to the full fury of the gale escaped-uninjured, and at day break started lo look after the safetyjof their master. We were immured in the vault for more than twenty-four hours the longest. day and night by far, that Ican remember. Mas. Pahtisgton's Opinio or Con gressmen. "W'hat's the matter, d?ar ?" said Mrs. Partington, as Ike threw the morning paper, that he had been read ing, down upon the floor, and stamped upon it. "What makes you so obstropolus, Isaac?" "They'er going to slop the importation of fire-crackers," replied Ike. with a flourish of his stupenduous fist. "Well", well," said Mrs. P., as soothing in her tones as a poultice ; "I don't see anything harmonious in that. -And you need not be so pugnascent about it, ei ther; because it doesn't infect you, any how." "I'd like to know how they'er going to keep Fourth of July," cried he, wiping an indignation tear from his eye. "Didn't John Quincy Adams tell us to burn all the tar-barrels, and ring all the bells, and fire all the crackers we wanted to?" And now, Mr. Fessenden, only because they burnt his city down last Fourth of July, is going to stop their importation. I wish I wa3 a member of Congress." "Don't, Isaac," said the old 'lady; "don't Wish such a wicked thing as that; remember you have got the family virtue to maintain." A wag of the incorrigible school a regular cuss in fact was sitting in a company of gentleman, one of whom was a lawyer of no mean reputation. The was talking to another individual, but talking for the ear of the lawyer, afore said, stated that he desired the service of a good lawer, that he had an important case, out of which, if successful, a3 he could not fail to be, if the case be proper ly managed, a good thing could be reali zed for himself and a good fee made lo the lawyer. At this point the legal gentlemen in question put in, "What's that you say in need of a lawyer good case paying fee? The law is my profession state your case." Wrag " my case 13 undoubtedly an excellent one and lam willing to pay a most liberal contingent fee I can't afford any fee certain.

Whtn Indiana was little more than a wilderness, when Gospel-fire was poured out in great abundance, and rhetorical figures commaded a high premium among youthful preachers, Mr. Smythe vvas selected to preach a Sunday sermon at a camp-meeting. The audience was large, and the occasiondtmanded an extraordin ary effort, bmyihe was just entering upon his theological career, and the first steps were of the greatest importance At an early hourSmythe took the stand. and after the usual preliminaries, opened up as tollows : " "Brethren and sisters.' ladies and gen tlemen, if I had the world for sc pulpit. the stars for an audience, my head tower ing far above the loftiest clouds, my arms swinging throughout immensity, and my tongue sending forth the clarion notes of a Gabriel, I'd set one foot on Greenland's icy muntains, and the other on India's coral "strand, and and I'd I'd I'd howl like a wolf." Daniel O'Connell once saved a cow thief from hanging, though the fellow was condemned to transportation. He after wards returned la Ireland, and made him self known to O'Connell, and in requital for his services as counsel, said he would impart a valuable secret. - "If your Hon or wants to steal a cow, go on a dark. rainy night, and take the cow that stands out in the field, and shure ye'll get a good one. The weakly ones, your Hon or, always shelter under the hedgi, if the weather is bad.

A couniryman walked into the'office of a lawver one day, and began his ap plication : "Sir, I have come to get your advice in a case that is giving me some trouble." "Well, what's the matter f" 'Suppose, now," said the client, "that a man had one spring of water on his land, and his neighbor living flow should build a dam across the creek "through boih farms, and it was to back the water up into the other man's spring, what ought to be done i "Sue him, sir, sue him, by all means," aid the lawyer, who always became exctted m proportion to the aggravation of his clients. "You can recover heavy damages, sir, and the law will make him pay well for it. Just give roe the case, and I'll bring the . money .from him." "But stop," cried the terrified applicant for legal advice. "It's I that have built the dam, and it's neighbor Jones thai owns the spring, and he threatens to sue me." The keen lawyer hesitated a moment before he tacked his ship and kept on "Ah ! well, sir, you say you built, a dam across that creek. What sort of a dam was it, sir ?" "It was a mill-dtra," "A mill-dam for grinding grain, was it?" "Yes, it was just that." "And it is a good neighborhood mill, is it?'' "So it is sir, and you may'say'so." "And all your nfighbors bring their grain to be ground, do they ?" "Yes, sir, all but Jones." "Then it's a graet public convenience, is it not ?' "To be sure it is. I would not have built it but for that. It iVso'far supperior to any other mill, sir." "And now," said the old lawyer, "you lell me that Jones is complaining just b 'cause ,the water from the dam hap pens to put back into bis little spring and he is now threatening to sue oj Well, all I have to say is, let him sue and he'll rue the day as sure as my name is Barns." "Yea say you hare confidence in Cook em, the plaintiff, Mr. Smith t" "Yes, sir." "State to the court, if you please what caused this feelinf of confidence ?' "Why, you see, sir, there s ailers re ports 'bout eaten'-house men, an I us ed to kinder think " "Never mind whatyou thought tel us what you know." "Well, sir, one dayI"goes dowa to Cookem s shop, an sez to the waiter 'Waiter,' sez I,give s a weal pie." "Well, sir, proceed." "Well, just then Mr. Cookem comes up, an sez he, How du you du, Smith? That ye going to hav ? " 'Weal pie,' sez I. "'Good.' sez he; I'll take one tu.' So he sets down and cuts one of his own weal pies right afore me." "Did that cause your confidence in him?" . ''Yes, indeed; sir; when an eaten' house-keeper set down afore his cust omers and deliberately eats one of his own weal pies, no man refuses to feel confidence it shows him to be an honest man. A lady being invited to send in a toast to be read at the anniversary celebration of the Pilgrim Fathers, furnished the following. It is spicy enough to flavor half a dozen anniversary dinners : "The 4 Pilgrim Fathers,' forsooth ! What had they to endure in comparison .1 W" a mm aw. to ine mgrim fliomers f it is true they had hunger, and cold, and sickness, and danger foes without and within but the unfortunate Pilgrim Mothers ? they nad not only these to endure, but they had the Pilgrim Fathers also ! and yet their names are never mentioned. Who ever writes songs, drinks toasts and makes speches in recollection of them ? This self-sufficiency of the man is beyond endurance. One would actually suppose that JNew LnIand had been colonized by man, and prosteriiy provided for by pecial providence." On a certain occasion, one of our Me thodist brethren was given, in a religious meeting, tLe experiences of himself and family ; saying, among other things, that his first wife was a very good woman, but she sickened and died in a very hap py frame of mind, and he ehould be re joiced if his present partner would go fust St Joe and St. Louis Business Houses.
