quite exhausted, and language failed to describe the feelings of his soul, he raised his hand, and dropping his handkerchief wet with sweat from his little face, cried out: "Thus, O sinner! shall you drop into hell, unless you forsake your sins and turn to the Lord." At that moment some fell, like those who are shot in battle, and the work spread in a manner which human language cannot describe.

The next general meeting was at Caneridge, Bourbon county, seven miles from Paris. It began the 6th of August, and continued, day and night, about a week. The number of people collected on the ground, at once, was supposed to be about twenty thousand; but it was thought a much greater number were there in the course of the meeting. The encampment consisted of one hundred and thirty-five wheel-carriages, and tents proportioned to the people. This immense group included almost every character that could be named; but amidst them all, the subjects of this new and strange operation were distinguished, by their flaming zeal for the destruction of sin, and the deliverance of souls from its power. The various operations and exercises on that occasion were indescribable. The falling exercise was the most noted. James Crawford, one of the oldest ministers in the State, and one of the foremost in the work, informed me that he kept as accurate an account as he could of the number that fell on the occasion, and computed it to be about three thousand. The vast numbers who received light, on this occasion, and went forth in every direction to spread it, render it impossible to pursue any further the particular track of its progress. I shall only add that it was but a few weeks after this meeting, that the same work broke out in North Carolina, by the instrumentality of some who went from Caneridge to bear the testimony.

Man.-Philosophers have puzzled themselves how to define man, so as to distinguish him from other animals. Burke says, "Man is an animal that cooks his victuals." "Then," says Johnson, "the the proverb is just, there is reason in roasting eggs." Dr. Adam Smith has hit the case: "Man," says he, "is an animal that makes bargains; no other animal does this-one dog does not change a bone with another."-London Mag.

Drinking. Drunkenness is a social festive vice. The drinker collects his circle; the circle naturally spreads: of those who are drawn within it, become the corruptors and centres of sets and circles of their own; every one countenancing, and, perhaps, emulating the rest, till a whole neighborhood be infect ed from the contagion of a single example.
