- An exchange paper furnishes the following directions to people who .make themselves "generally useful" at fires: - "The moment you hear an alarm, scream liko a pair of panthers. -- Run any way except the right way, for - the farthest way round is always tho nearest road to the fire. - If you happen'tQ run on top of a wood-pile, so much the better; "you can then get a good view of the neighborhood. " Af a light breaks out on you view, 'break for it immediately but be sure you don't jump into- a Jow-window.--Keep yelling all the time ; and if you can't make night hideous enough yourself, kick all the dogs you come across and set them yell ing too. "Twill help amazingly. "A brace of cats dragged up stairs by the tail would be a 'powerful auxiliary? ;'; When you reach the scene of the fire, do all you can to convert it into a scene of destruction. Tear down all the fences in the vicinity. If it be a chimney on fire, throw salt' down it ; or if yon can't do that throw salt on a rat's tail and make him run up. The effect, yeili be about the same. - If both be found impracticable, a few buckets full of water judiciously applied, will answer almost as welt ' Perhaps the best plan would be to jerk off the - pump handle, and pound down the chimney. ; : Don't forget to yell all the time, as it has a prodigious ef effect - fect effect in frightening off the fire. You might swear a little too if you cart do it scientifically. The loader the better of course; and the more ladies in the vicienity, the greater , nec necessity - essity necessity of 'doing it brown.' . Should the. roof begin to smoke, get to work in good earnest and make any man smoke that interrupts you. If it is summer, and there are fruit trees in the lot cut them down to prevent the fire from roasting the apples..-, Don't forget to yell! Should the stable be threatened, carry out the cow-chains. Never mind the horse he'll be alive and kicking and" if his legs don't do their duty, let them pay for the roast Ditto as to the hogs let them save their own ba bacon - con bacon or 'smoke' for.it . When the roof begins to burn, get. a crow-bar and, pry away . the stone steps;" or, if the steps be of wood, pro procure - cure procure an axe and chop them up. Next cut away the wash-boards in the basement story-; and if that don't stop the flames, let the chair chair-boards - boards chair-boards on the first floor share the same fate. Should the 'devouring element' still pursue the 'even lenor of its "way, yoii had better.' nsr cend to the second story.- Pitch out the pitch pitch-era - era pitch-era and tumble out the tumblers. Yell all the time! . If you find a .baby abed, fling it into tne second story window of the bouse across the way, but let the kitten down carefully in a work-basket Then draw 'out the bureau drawers and empty them out of the back win window, - dow, window, telling somebody below to upset the slop-barrel-and the rain-water hogshead at the seme time. Of course, you will attend to the mirror. " The farther it can be thrown;. the more peices will be" made. - If any'- body ob objects, - jects, objects, smash it over his head. Keep yelling! Do not under any circumstances, .drop the tongs down from the second stpry-r-the fall will break its legs and render the poor thing a cripple for life ; set it stri.ddle of your shoul shoulders - ders shoulders and carry it "down carefully.".

Wo had glimpse a day or two since of a Shaker Bible a book not often allowed to be seen by "the world's people.". - It-is entitled 'A Holy, Sacred and , Divine Ron, Jrom -the Lord God of Heaven, to the inhabitants of the earth, revealed in the Society at New Leban Lebanon,' - on,' Lebanon,' County Columbia", State .'of New ' York, United States America." This edition was published seven years since at the Shaker es establishment - tablishment establishment at Canterbury. N. H. and the publisher say that they have no regular prin printer - ter printer among them, "the mechanical execution may not be perfect in aH its parts."-' 'We imagine, bower, that some printer had a hand in.it from its neatness and accuracy unless it was printed by inspiration.: , It pretents-to be a Revelation: and the testimony of eleven mighty angels is ' given, who' attended ".the writing of the roll. K One of the angels is nam named - ed named Con sole-teae-Jah-mon-sue, and another Pre-Jine-fi-nan-va-ten-va-ren-ye ne. Accord According - ing According to the angelic injunction, the book must be printed and bound by the, Shakers them themselves, - selves, themselves, to prevent its sacredness from being polluted by profane hands. : The printing was done at Canterbury, but it was .found, so -far necessary to. deviate from the, divine com command - mand command as to go to Concord to. have the volume bound there being no book-binders at the establishments. It is bound in- yellow -ac cording to contain some passages from Scrip ture, altered amended, enlarged or curtailed with-original additions or improvement as they are probably deemed nessary, to suit tne peculiar; notion's of the disciples of Anne Lee. It is a very curious volume even' more' re remarkable, - markable, remarkable, though of less pretended antiquity, than the Mormon Bible.

- One night, towards the close of my first quarter, I awoke with a tormenting thirst, and lay tor some time 'endeavoring- to muster up courage to descend to the kitchen and get a pitcher : of water.

Wliile engaged in this agreeable employment, I heard a step on. the st.ur-case, and had barely time to shut the closet door; when some one entered the kitch en with a light Reconnoitering the cause of this intrusion through the key-hole, 1 found it was Miss Jemima jiles, who bad risen at this unusual hour, for the purpose, doubtless, of beginning - the important duty -of, .washing clothes early 4a the morning.

So. we trampoosed along down the edge of the swamp till we come to a track, when we turned in- login file, and kept on about a mile ' or so, climbing over , stumps, wading through mud-holes, tearing through' cat-briars, and j stumbling over bogs, and at last . found our ourselves - selves ourselves in an open piece about a pole across, which was perfectly dry, with two large oak trees standing some ten feet apart; "Hold on. Haines," says the boss, "let 8 pull up here ana take some grub. You ain't had any break breakfast - fast breakfast nor I neither;' so you take that tree, and I'll take this, and we'll eat and rest a bit" "Agreed," said Haines. "There ain't much use of going too' fast and we might as well pull up a bit here as not ' 'Squire s'pose we liquor?"' .','-.."; r?" " :";-;.:;;f ' ' Well, old Haines and the boss sat down and I fixed the things for them, not forgetting to leave jthe bottle; and, thinks I to myself, "I reckon I'll start on a piece and look after some of the boys. So on A goes for about about a two or three miles, without seeing any of them ; and beginnintr to feel tired, I turned round and put back agia ' Well, when I got as 1 thought, about where A lett the boss and Haines, I heard a kind of growling and rust rustling, - ling, rustling, as if there were pigs hunting after acorns. Hollloa, says I to myself, what's this? I'll just peep into the brush and see what it is. oo A turns in out of the track, and, by gosh 1 if there wasn't the boss behind one tree, and old Haines behind another, each dodging a bear t Holloa, said I, this U a fix ! ' What's to be done now ? So I hides behind a thick ivy bush, and looks on a spell ; but I had to laugh. There stood the boss behind a tree, with his legs one side and his head t'other, and when whenever - ever whenever the bear would make a pass at him round one way, he dodged reund the other; while old Haines kept his head a-going from' one side to the other, and danced round and back just as if he weighed one stone in the place of eighteen. " "Uurse me!" said old flames to ine boss, when his bear kept still a moment, and gin him a chance to " breathe--"if this- work keeps on much longer, if I don't have to give up. A can t stand it oy ail mat's noiy. noi- ler, 'Squire, for A can't" said boss, "the ani animal - mal animal is so infernally bent on grabbing my leg. Good Lord, he liked to have had me that time!

"Can't, we change trees?" asked Haines,, "for I've got tired of running round one way, and the cursed brute won't alter the track. "Hey! hollo! hey!" sung out the boss for me; "ho, hoop, ha!" and by gosh, while he turned up his eyes as if to holler louder, the bear gave him a dig with her paw in the seat of bis pantaloons, and carried away drawers and all. "Oh!" said the boss, and he putone band behind to sdtk what damage was done, and darted round t'other side quicker. "Curse me if I keep this position much longer, Haines! I'll take the path and make a run for it ! This is play playing - ing playing bo-peep with a vengeance! It's altogeth altogether - er altogether too exciting to be pleasant; a pretty posi tion for the editor of the Advocate and Journal to be placed in a-dodgjng bears round ches ches-nut - nut ches-nut trees!

"But Haines hadn't anr time to at tend to what the boss was saying, for t'other bear kept bim on the move, so that be was all eyes and no care for any thing else; and the two kept dodging and twisting, and head heading - ing heading .off each other with great alertness and perse verence. "I wish I had a slight drop, of something,' said the boss to himself, for there was pq use talking to tiaines; be badn t time to answer; "I think I could keep this up some somewhat - what somewhat longer, but without something strength strengthening - ening strengthening I must knock under, that's a fact No editor of flesh and blood could do: it, and what's more," curse me if I do !" , ' He went on getting wrathy.

But it wasn't any use to get them wrathy ; the bears didn't give them time to get in a passion, for it takes the boss add Haines ten minutes to hre up strong when tney taut politics; and as they were at that time, they didn't get eveti a minute to think. ." Well, af ter I had looked out for about fifteen minutes or so. and seed the boss begin to get desper ately frightened, and looking Till-fired tired, thinks I, I heard a gun back north some time ago ; J giless I'll try and hunt up that fellow, And get him to come and shoot one of thse varmints, so ' as to ' get qui boss but of the scrape. .'So back I 'went and'ih half an hour found old Bullet poking around among a par eel of gorse and furze, looking after a pat pat-ridge - ridge pat-ridge he had killed when I heard his gun go off. .As soon as I told him how matters stood with the boss and Haines,"be loaded riwht up, and started away Tike a fire engine -under a full head of stearri, and made tracks straight ahead, without steering clear of any thing. Bullet drove en so fast that when we came up where the old 'uns were, I was so all-fired bbwed that I hadn't wind enough left to laugh.

Old Haines had got so w ami that he had pulled off his cravat coa' and waistcoat and had un unbuttoned - buttoned unbuttoned his shirt at the neck and wristbands; awaiting a chance to duck his head and get that off too. I verily believe, that fat as he is, he did think of climbing the" tree; just to vary the amusement' As for "the ; boss, he was jerking his head from one tide to the other, just like thai Dutch figure on cousin Sally's mantlepiece; and I do believe, if he had kept jon for about all hottr more, be wouldn't have had a hair left on bis scalp, He's a little bald on the too as it is.

with Puritan strength is tbe foilovnr t from Parker's discourse on Religion : "Inspiration does not destrov the man' freedom; that is left fetterless by obedience.
