T0ac Power of R1eligion Ilui A husband and wife, in New York, who have lived in harmony and in terrupted confidence for nearly a t quarter of a century, have recently had a tmisunderstanling, which grcw I nut odf some trivial family circum- 1: stance. The wife took deep urn- t -hra'r at somc chilimg remark of her I liusband, and left him and abandoied t er falily of children. Her ah- 1 sence cocastoned great distress, and . ; efforts were made to bring her home; lmut she had resolved never nain to L iye 'with- her husband. 11er friends r xpostul:uted, her son enmtreated, and t tite 1eighbors who had noticed her laing years of joy urged her to return to her fatnily. The interference of a these parties only heightened her, anger and intensilied her htate, and she finally wandered off from the scenes of home. She went to Cit' Cinnati; was pursued by her fricinis and hearing of their approach, left. The next that was heard of her, shein had, arrived in this city. - Ier hus band and son arrived here otn Satur day m ring sought an interview ivith her, which after much hesita a tion, granted; but only to give posi- , ye denial to their entreaties. The b hus)and 'owed down with heavy grief,. finally asked a clergYmtan to visit her. The priest complied, aidl the restilt of his conference was, dleep Icontribution in the mother uni 1we, and a desire again to see her hints. I band and son, anl a. consent to t cleerfully return with tlhe.n to New 9 York. 1ere was nccoinplished, thriongh the agency of religon, a blessing that could tiever have been consumated by law or physical foree.

Tie young woman's eyes opened again at the gate of the cemetery; but the burial still went on. Tie collin was shut and lowered into the grave, but when a few shovels.full of earth tia I been thrown in, a knock ing was distinctly heard in the inside of the collin.--This knocking grew louder and louder as the grave was illed, and at last, the sexton, half lead with terror, threw down his shovel and ran home, where he took to his bed, in which he still remains. [ier friends now had the coffin dug p and opened; but seeing that the 3orpse gave no sign of life, they had t buried again, and proceeded to fil! up the grave, when the knockings were again heard louder than ever. The collin was now taken up a sccond time, and carried into the .hurch, where it reinained until the 12th. A doctor who was sent for r,.on Valence, opened a vein, from Vhich the blood flowed abundantly. [ncredible as it seems, evena this ifact ,vas not considered as conclusive of leath not having taken place, and he poor girl was new buried for the bird time; the same knockings being again heard as distinctly as before, vhen the earth was begainning to be brown in. But the assistants nev 'rtheless looked upon her as dead, mnd this time the burial was comple ed, not withstanding the knockings. 3me eighty of the persons present t those extraordinary proceedings, ereupon (Irew up and signed a peti ion to the Prosecutor General of the kpuic, who innediately visited lie spot. 1is first care was to pro ibit all access to the grave-yard, lid it is to be hoped that the cofil ;ill be opened and the position of the leceased ascertained1.

They are wan derers, we believe, from sonic Canadi an tribe, and came to that neighbor hood about two months ago. On Sun day last the chief' of the wigwam, who had been ailing for some time past, was gathered to ti land of' his flit ers. A few days previously the squaw had set olit for tihe State of Maine, to bring two children she has on the fron tier to the tent, to see the old man be fure the Great Spirit called him home: but. her errand, alas! it turned out, was undertaken too late. The secene at t lie tent, as soont as it was known the in dian was dead, was curious and aflect ing. The son eat mutely and moodily on tle ground, with his arms folded, tind his dark piercing eye sorrowfimily fixed upon the corpse of his dead sire. It seemed strange to him that they should put the body into a caflin, inl stead U'interrin'g it after the inanner of' his own peopIle? As soon as the coflin was carried away by the undertaker, the teit was ruthlessly rifled of imost of its comtents. bea ds, baskets and other trin kets the Indians had been taking fi- a liveli by solie pale-fieed vtagaibonds in tle vicinity, spite of-the re inonstran Les of some kinid-hearted wo melt, who, with those tetlder and hum1inane i mpuls as native to the sex, had all along been attentive to the wants of the dying itranger. The tent itself was cat r'ed tway even, leavinig the surviving Indi in to imake his bed on the cold damp 'artlh, with only tihe sky above for a !oveLring. And there lie was sitting ast ni,4ht, wiaiting, in silent sorrow, .he ret uirl of' his absent relative Fromn ier pilgrimlage to the. East.
