One of Natures Wonders, — The Bottom less Pit in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky is suspected by many to run through the whole Diamiter of the earth. The branch terminates in it, and the explorer suddenly finds himself brought upon its brink, standing upon a project ing platform, surrounded on three sides by dark ness and terror, a gulf on the right and a gulf on the left, and before him what seems an inter miuable void. He looks aloft; but no eye has yet reached the top of the great overarching dome ; nothing is there seen but the flashing of the water dropping from above, smiling as it hoots by in the unwonted gleam of the lamp. He looks below, and nothing' there meets his glance save darkness as thick as lampblack, and he hears a wild, mournful melody of water, the waling of the brook for the green and sunny •channel left in the upper world never more to be revisited. Down goes a rock, tumbled over the cliff by the guide, who is of the opinion that folks conic here to see and hear, not to muse and be melancholy. There it goes—crash !it has reached the bottom No—hark, it strikes again ; once m&rc and again, still falling. Will I ever stop ? One's hair begins to bristle as he hears the sound repeated, growing less and less, until the ear can follow it no longer. Cer tainly if the pit of Frederick shall be eleven thousand feet deep, the Bottomless Pit of the Mammoth Cave must be its equal. -**•*— Activity or the Slave Trade.— We learn By conversation with a gentleman lately return ed from the coast of Africa, that while near the mouth of the Congo, he learned from good au thority that there were 30 vessels, principally Portuguese, or sailing under that character, •along the creeks of that river waiting human •cargoes. Sheltered by the thick growth which abounds there, these pirates upon humanity are safe from observation by vessels of war outside; they have confederates upon the lookout near the mouth of the river to warn of the vicinity •of national vessels, and when the is •clear they select a dark night and a fair wind :*md escape clear of the land. It is said the English Government have a steamer on the coast, and that a certain Yankee Captain with a fast brig amuses himself in sailing round her upon a wind ; that what is wanted is an Amer ican steamerj capable of sailing fourteen miles an hour ; with such a vessel our informant agrees to pay for every slave which Portuguese or Yankees can steal from that part of the coast.— N. Y. Tunes. Thi: Market for Brandy.— A letter from Cognac, France, bv the Persia, says : “The quantity of brandy made will prove less than was anticipated. There is no price fixed for that quality yet, but by the offers which have been already made, we see that it cannot command under S2l and for best on board. As for the old qualities, we cannot name a price for thefft, for they were so scarce that we considered it useless to attempt buying any, ami arc literally compelled to decline all orders for those qualities. Good many, it is true, are offered daily, but not one single one of them deserves the name of Cognac Brandy, and what is the most remarkable is, that all that touch finds buyers. Shipments from this side ought to be received for the future with a very great caution by the importers.” Shocking Fatality.— A private letter from Morgan co., 111., informs the St. Louis News of a most distressing casualty, or rather scenes of casualties, which occurred about 3 miles from Jacksonville, a few days ago, and to which nearly a whole family fell victims. A small girl, daughter of a widow named Ironmonger, while feeding the pigs, having got into the pen where they were confined for the purpose, was j ■attacked by a vicious sow, and torn so shock-1 ingly that she died ; a large hole was eaten in her side by the savage beast, and she was oth erwise mangled. The shock on the mother at •the horrible spectacle, killed her too. The next night a camphene lamp exploded acci dentally in the house, killing one child instant ly, and so severely injuring another that it is not expected to survive. A Little Boy's Prayet.— A little boy after saying nightly the prayers which had been taught him, was quite tenacious of what he called praying his own way.—He had a large number of brothers and sisters, whose needs and peculiarities he sometimes made the subject of his petitions. On one occasion, at commence ing this exercise,he was overcome with sleep. “Wrestling with his stupor, he said : “Oh, Lord, bless Elizabeth, and make her better than she is.” His head fell back on his pillow, but soon rousing, he murmured drowsily, ‘‘Bless Henry, too,” It was in vain ; the tongue refused its •office— so he added, indistinctly : “Oh, Lord, I can’t, there are many of ’em,” and he sank into the deep slumber of child hood. At another time, while conducting this exer cise in a more wakeful manner, he said : “Lord, please to bless farther and give him anew heart Be so kiud as to bless Mary, my little sister, and give her anew heart. Oh Lord, bless mother, but you need not give her anew heart, for she could not have any better one than she’s got, and I don’t see how she’d go to work to be any better woman than she Is now.” Striking; Scene at a Gaming Table, — Asa company of fast young men were busy over a card table, a few evenings since, a singular noise attracted their attention. It was of so unusual a nature, that they immediately began to look about for its cause. It was repeated in another direction. Something more than curiosity was excited, and the playing was sus pended. Immediately one of the company dropped into what the spiritualists call a trance and procceeded to utter, as if from a deceased father, a homily against gambling and its asso ciate vices. This was followed by an admonition purport- Biorae from a deceased sister of one of ipany, couched in such terms and uttcr tb .su-H'b sisterly feeing, that the whole vere irresistibly moved to tears. There more card playing that night. None of those present were believers in spiritual man ifestations, and the scene was wholly unexpect ed to all. Whether it was indeed spiritual, or is capable of some other solution is a question. ft was told at a religious meeting, Sunday and we have no doubt- that it occured substan tially as we here repeat it.—Ex. Adding Insult to Injury. —The Wheeling Daily Times, a paper that advocated the elec tion of Mr. Fillmore to the Presidency, says : “A Southern paper not content with having defeathd our candidate, glories over us by pub lishing the following as the Fillmore Pyramid : NO NORTH. NO SOUTH. NO EAST. N O W E S T. N O WHERE, KNOW NOTHING, Am Affecting Incident. An affecting occurrence took place some time ago in a seaboard town in England. Six lutie children got into a boat, on the beach, and a mischevous boy shoved it off. The boat di if ted away to sea before the children were missing. Terrible was the agony of the moth ers when they knew it. A number of men went oft in all directions, every boat was on thelookout until tar in the night. Daylight re turned, and still there were no tidings from the helpless children; the day wore away, and still nothing was heard from them—-they were ei ther lost in the wide expanse of the ocean, or buried in its unfathomable depths. A Ply mouth fisherman, fishing early next morning, discovered something- floating in the distance, lie bore down to it, and discovered it to be a boat, and in the bottom six children, all hud dled together like a nest of birds, fast asleep God having mercifully given them that blessed solace after a day of terror and despair. lie took them aboard, and feasted them with bread and cheese, and gladdened their despairing lit tle hearts with the promise of taking them home. Between iliree and four in the after noon, the fisherman was seen in the offing, the boat astern. All eyes were turned eagerly to wards him - The best spy-glass in town” was rubedagain aad again, and at last they could fairly see that it was “the identical boat. The news flew through the town—the mothers came frantic to the beach, for there were no children ’ discerned in the boat; none to be seen in the sloop. Intense was the agony of suspense, and all alike shared it with the parents At last the boat came in, and the word went round— “ They are all safe,” and many a stout hearted man burst into tears, women shrieked for joy, and became almost frantic with their insup portable happiness. It was indeed a memora ble day; and a prayer, eloquent for its rough sincerity, was offered up to Almighty God, who, in his infinite mercy, had spared those in nocent children from the perils and terrors of the sea during that fearful night. Five of these children were under five years of age, and the sixth but nine years old. Let me Pi ay First. Avery intelligent little girl was passing quietly through the streets of a certain town a short time since, when she came to a spot where several idle boys were amusing themselves by the very dangerous practice of throwing stones. Not observing her, one of the boys, by accident threw a stone towards her, and struck a cruel blow in the eye. She was carried home in great agony. The surgeon was sent for, and a very painful oper ation was declared necessary. When the time came, the surgeon lu.d takeiuout his instruments, she lay in her father’s arms and he asked her if she was ready. ‘No farther not yet,’ she replied. ‘What do you wish to wait for my child?’ ‘I want to kneel in your lap, and pray to Jesus first,’ she answered. And then kneeling, she prayed a few minutes, and afterwards sub mitted to the operation with the patience of a woman. II ow beautiful this little girl appears, under these circumstances ! Surely Jesus heard the prayer made in that hour: and he will love eve ry child that calls upon His name. Let every boy and girl learn to pray; and let idle boys be careful how they throw stones. — [Ex. Reporter of the Supreme Court.— The Sa vannah Georgian says, “We have been inform ed that Thos. R. R.
