WALKING A THOUSAND MILKS IN A THOURAND HOVRS. Most people in rending the announceinciit of Midi n feat as that now bolng performed at Siewmt's Gymnasium, over 1 the Boylston Market, nro apt to misapprehend mid mUconceivc its ilitHcultien. A thousand miles, traveled at tliu rate of twenty-four miles a day, would brenk down nino men out of every ten, and leave the bent drilled ami}' minus half its forces; but to wnlk a thousand miles in a thousand consecutive hours is a feat immeasurably more diHicult. No sinlgo hour, it must l?o remembers), must bo allowed to pass without a mile having been accomplished during the timo in which the minute hand makes its circuit. Each hour of dawn, of ftimoet, of midnight or noonday, whether tho rain pour without or the thermometer stand at OS in tlio shade, must have it* rnile measured with weary feet?hour after hour?hour after hour?night and day for nix successive weeks. Nothing on earth is so refreshing as a night of calm, quiet and connccted sleep, but in performing the feat under consideration such a rest for the tired body cannot be obtained, and the hurried naps which aro taken, instead of really invigorating, serve only to inspire an intense longing for that continued rest | which alone can refresh tho weary, either in mind or body. Let any one, in ordinary circumstances, ho forced to lie awake every alternate hour, for even a few nights in succession, and ho wil 1 find serious inroads made by il upon his health and spirits. That such undertakings as that at lioylston Hall can be successfully carried out, only shows what excess of an endurance the human frame may bo made to withstand by careful training. Tho young man, Lambert, who is now walking his thousand miles at Stewart's Gymnasium, is a native of York, in England, and about twenty-ono years of age. lie was bred a sail maker, but at the age of fourteen ho was thrown considerably into tlio Bociety of sporting characters connected with a celebrated English stable, and as a conseqnencc had his mind so much impressed with the exploits of ccrtain pedestrians that he put himself in training. Ilis first foot race was over the York course tho samo year, when he accomplished his two miles within eleven minutes. At Belleview, near Manchester, he won a purse of ?25 against one Jordan, running a quarter of a mile in fifty-three seconds. Since then ho run half a dozen races, the last of which was at Lawrence, last Fast Day. hen lie beat Nalcv, the " Shooting Star,'' in a five uii!e race. lie has once heforc been engaged in a walking feat similar to tho present, namely, at a cricket ground near York, in Yorkshire, England, where, having assisted a pedestrian who walked five hundred miles in as many consecutive hours, lie laid a wager that he could do the satno thing, and won tho wager. The match atlioylston 1 [all is for $1,000 a side, and both the parties to it have their agents present, to watch the course of events and see that all things arc done fairly and iu order. The ring in which he | walks is about a yard wide, laid with sawdust, and runs around tlic ball, nil the gymnastic paraphernalia of Professor Stewart being within, and the subscribers to the gymnasium arc constantly on hand, exercising themselves without in the least interfering with the pedestrian. Twenty even times around this ring makes the required mile. At twenty minutes before 9 o'clock, last evening, our reporter saw Lambert commence his six hundred and ninety-second mile. He was in good spirits, and had been conversing freely and with apparent ease, and went off in good style on his walk. He was dressed in a red silk shirt, with abort sleeves, black velvet breeches, reaching to the knees, check socks, mid shoes; with a light kerchief round his neck ?leaving his calves, arms, throat and head baro. In height he is about five feet seven or eight inches ; he has a light blue oye, and a very pleasant genial aspect of face, llis natural weight is 135 pounds, but by traiuing he reduced himself to 127 pound.--, and has fallen off six or seven pounds since commencing his walk. The six hundred and ninety-second mile was accomplished in just fifteen minutes. During the first two weeks of his pilgrimage he felt worse than at present. He frequently had pain in his legs, and weariness, as well as headaches, and after each mile Iii? knees gave liim eome pain. By frequeut bathing with alcohol, and a right nttention to diet, however, he is enabled to keep up, and appears to be quite strong.? Appearances are in favor of his successfully accomplishing his task, although of course the last one or two hundred hours will test liis exhausted energies to the utmost, possibly beyond the limit of endurance. The present cool weather is very favorable to liim, and he says he felt most severely the one or two hot dnys which occured week before last. At one time recently his knees were inuob swollen and painful, but the inflammation was reduced, and the utmost attention is paid to diet, to guard against attacks ofilhwM. Ilis food consists eutirely of mutton And beef, done rare; dry toast, and a few potatoes, and nothing greasy or fat is allowed him ; his drink is tea and Sotch ale. Id the state of his physical system, consequent upon his exertions, all this care is nceessary to prevent liability to sickness. llis greatest trials are at night when he sleeps, lie takes no sleep in the day, and the walking after eleven o'clock at night is u arranged that he oan walk two miles in suooassion, taking the last fifteen minutes of one hour and the first fifteen of the next, thus giving over an hour and a quarter at aoh interval of rest, during which he ob tains his sleep. The moment hi* Item) in upon llio pillow lie drops inlo n slumber ns profound a* dentil, mid it is with the greatest dilltoiilly that the attendants call aiollso liiin win li his time lor sleep has expired. Worn out nature assert* her light with iron hand, and yields her control over the sleeper only in obedior.ee to force. Whipping!* have been resorted to in similar cases elsewhere, but not yet in this case, although it is impossible to say what will bo necessary before the end of the thousand hours. The last hour will be that eliding at three o'clock Tuesday morning, September 8, and when the prisoner is released ho will need a week's caro before he can be left to himself. If allowed to sleep uninterruptedly, j lie would sloop a week, or probably never wake again. We have given these details, believing a desciption of the phenomena of such a case would be interesting to the uninitiated, and at the same time enable them to appreciate the amount of trial and fatigue which rigid training may enable (he human body to endure.? Huston Traveller. TESTING SPIRITUAL REVELATIONS. Mr. Hiram Marble, of Lynn, Mass., is engaged in a singular investigation and in a singular manner, the finding of the old pirates' cave in Dungeon rock, at Lynn. Mr. Marblo resides throughout the year in his small house near the summit of the rock, with his wife and son and daughter. The apex of the hill is a huge mass of rnrlr nliiMif fm-lw r\%* fiftir ??Krv?*** ?1w? house mnl lot, from which, standing near the lofty tlag staff, you obtain a wide and admirable view of the country for miles about. Mr. Marblo has been engaged at the place for six years past, iu what lie colliders to be a spirital mission, and what most other people consider to be a wild and absurd undertaking. He was a manufacturer in a distant place, and was " impressed" or felt a call to come here and devote himself to the work of finding tin? cave where the pirates fomnrily resided, and where Thomas Veal was entombed by an earthquake. He believes himself to bo acting under the special direction of the spirits of Thomas Veal ami of a girl named Catharine, who was stolen by the pirates, and became an associate with them. Under these auspices, bo has accomplished a truly extraordinary work, lie lias drilled and excavatcd, a tunnel into the solid jasper like rock of the hill, for a distance of about 80 feet. The hole is high enough to stand up in, and you may, perhaps, touch the two sides by extending your arms. It is solid, flinty rock all the way, and the excavation by drilling and blasting has ail been done by Mr. Marble and his son, assisted sometimes by another laborer. The tunnel descends in all about 35 feet, and winds as much more. A pair of steps descend into the cave, and a torch illumines the way when visiters enter this spiritual region. Mr. Marble exhibits an ancient broken sword, an old time dagger, and a pair of atiitquo seizors, as having been found during the progress of the work in a seam of the rock, where a superincumbent mass slid over the cave at the time of the earthquake. Sceptics and outsiders say that these relics weic placed there to impose npon Mr. Marblo, but hv has persuaded himself that the discoveries were original. He regards them as proofs that he is all right in ma yiymillC UUUerillKIHg. Mr. Marble says Iiis objcct is not money or treasure, but to investigate 14 Spiritualism," and establish its truths, by finding the cave and its described contents, in the singular manner pointed out, which was made difficult in order the bet'er to test his faith, lie advances about a foot a month in his undertaking, and expects to terminate his " mission" within a year.

Treacherous and treasonable they certainly are, and iu the blasphemy of their conduct* uuequaled in the world.

Last night. Drown was found drunk in the street and to save his life, and benefit the Commonwealth, the officer took him to the station house, gave him a comfortable lodging, and then, in the most friendly manner, entered a complaint againt him for being intoxicated. Thomas was not very prepossessing when lie was called upon by the amiable clerk of the court to plead guilty or not guilty to the charge. " My Lud," said Thomas straiirht.r?iiitirr o n himself and placing otic hand on his bosom, "I'm an llinglish gentleman." " I)o you say guilty or not guilty ?" reiterated the clerk, inclined to be slightly irritated. " Never you mind young man," 'replied Thomas, waving hi.s hand towards the venerable clerk, who was so surprised at the words, that ho forgot himself, and actually smiled?an occurrence that the oldest habitue of the court room never knew him to be guilty of before. " My Lud," cried Thomas, fixing his eye on the Judge, "I'm an llinglish gentleman, and wishes to know why the officer took me in charge last night. My Lud, if I writes to his h'jrhness Minister at Wash ington, and tells liiin of litis affair, I would not be responsible for the rago of My Lud I'almerston. I'm 'is friend, and be knows 'ow to protcct the 'onor of us Britons." " \Ve have no Lnds in this country," said the Judge mildly;, "if you wish to say whether you are guilty or not, the court is ready to hear you." "No Luds in this country, my Lud?no haristocracy?nothing but hingins and bisters. No vondcr you 'avo books written about nation. Vy, tho last time I dined with my Lud I'almcrston, ve vcro speaking of 'luerica, and he told me it was just the place for a man of my talent; and I leave a good business to come to teach you, and vot is the koiiKcqucncc ?" No one replied, excepting an Irish woman up fur being a common drunkard ; and as she was dozing and thinking about her CDiitonoA oil/* cowl "Six months in tlio House of Correction." Thomas looked at the spectators with silent contempt wheu they laughed, and continued: " 1 asked fur the hofliccs when I got 'ere, and a man tell me a collector is wanted in the Custom House. I buffered to accept the peace, but somebody kicks mo out of the building. I was told of a dozen different situvationa, but when I went to get 'em I was laughed at. My Lud, I've been shamefully treated, and I vants justice, or the vails of this 'ere building will shake with llingland's rage when she 'ears of it. nemcinber tlie fate of Sebastopoi, nnd tremble for your 'omes." The Judge intimated that ho was not alarmed, as he knew the revenue cutter was in port, and could afford ample protection to the city agaiust all the fleets which the English would send to revenge his couse. A fine of $3 and costs was imposed, and, as lie was being taken down stairs, he was legging the officers to let liim have paper and pen for the purpose of " writing to the Hinglish Minister." The Celestial State.?Old Rickets was a man of labor, and had little or no time to devote to speculations for tho future, lie was, witha), rather uncouth in use of language. Oue day, while engaged in stopping up holes about his place, ho was aDnroaclied by a colporteur, and presented with a tract. "What is all tliis about," demanded Rickets. 44 That, sir, is a book describing the celestial state," was the reply. " Celestial state," said ltiukets; " where the deuce is that?" "My worthy friond, I fear that you have no." " Well, never mind," interrupted llick-ets; "I don't want to hear about any better Slate than old Pennsylvania, I intend to live and die right here. If I can only keep tuem darned hogs out." A married gentleman, every time he met the father of his wifo, complained to him of the ugly temper and disposition of his daughter.

After hearing attentively the admirable scr mon, uiul considering well the manner in whieli all the devotional services were coiidneti-d, 1 wiii not nstonished to see so large mid deeply intei , cited a congregation. The prayers were short, simple, comprehensive, direct nnd earnest.

IIow admirably the character ol tlie Father?His sovereignty, His justice and hit mercy?were net forth as exhibited in the plan of salvation.
