The Deacon\u2019s party, perceiving, by this time, that they could safely count on strength enough to carry their measure, clamored more loudly than ever lor a decision of the question, Locke gave himself up as lost, and a few minutes more would, indeed, have been decisive of his doom, but for the unexpected arrival of a new personage.This was Buu- Ker, who having reached home only a few hours before, had not heard what was in train til} the evening was considerably advanced 3 when, accidentally learning something of the facts, he came post haste 10 the scene of action.This arrival very visibly disconcerted the Deacon's party, and produced a dead pause in their proceedings, during which the former marched boldly up to Locke, and gave him one of those hearty and cordial \u2019 But, will be rather an uneasy place for him.Why, the master, by the very art that was to produce the misfortune, would know that the misfortune would follow his attempt to teach it.And do you think he would try it, when he knew it would bring sickness and trouble on his school, that would break it up and cost him the logs of all his wages, and, what is worse, send him ofl with a character that would forever prevent his getting another school?Would he be such a stupid fool as to do this?Never! and you all now sce and know it.There is thought number two for you, taken you wholly on your own ground; so that vou should not say J could meet you on- lyon my own dunghill.Iwill now make you come on to my ground, and sce 1f you \u2018an stand fire any Letter there.And this is my ground: I say that the black art, as you understand uy the faculty of foretelling events, together with sorcery, magic, or witchery, and every other art that lays claim to any such faculty by the aid of figures, or anything else, is all moonshine, imposition, and fulsehood.And T don\u2019t want to set before vou but one single idea, to make you know and feel the truth of my assertion.Now follow me.\u2014 Did you ever know or hear of a rich fortune teller, black-urt-worker, or conjuror ?Speak oul, if you ever id.A single one that was rick, 1 say.You don\" speak?No; for vou can\u2019t say vou ever did hear of such an mme.You all well know they are a set of poor, begeurly rascals from beginning to end.Well now, what prevents them, as I said of our master here, if they have this facuity of looking or figuring into futurity, from seeing and seizing upon every lottery ticket that is to draw a good prize ; from buying every article in the markets that is about to rise rapidly in price?What prevents them from doing this, and making their fortunes at a blow?Tell me, you, or you, or you.This is thought number three for vou.\u201cNow my number first pinned an argument upon you-\u2014even allowing you your own false premises\u2014with nothing but a wooden pin, that you could not break.My number second, still giving you the same advantage, put in a second nail, that, with or without the pin, not one of vou conld twist or move.\u2014 \u201cOnce more\u2014In what 1 have said, I have | WOOD'S BUILDING, ROCK ISLAND.STANSTEAD, DEC.16, 1847.Vou 3===No.7.floor rose from one side at so great an angle supposing the judgments of sickness, and so as take up about one-sixth part of what would he luoked 10und, and saw in the speaking on, did attend such doings, what then?\u2014| have been the space with a level floor, a-|countenances of the company, that ail were mounted only, with proper deduction for stove, seats, &c.to sixteen hundred cubic feet.been ascertained that one person, by respira- hour.How many scholars have you, Mr.Amsden 1?\u201cSixty, upon the average, perhaps more, say sixty-four.\u201d \u2018Ascertain, then, how many cubic feet of vital air these all will destroy in one hour.\u2019 Both Locke and Bunker, the latter of whom now began to be in his element, almost the next instant gave the same answer\u2014eight hundred and thirty two feet.\u2018How long do you generally keep them in without intermission, in which the doors would necessarily remain open a moment while they were passing out 7° \u2018Generally an hour and a half, sometimes two.\u2019 \u201cThen, gentleman,\u2019 said the Docter, \u201cthe true, but greatly misconceived, cause of your trouble and just alarm is now plainly before you.You see by our calculation, that, in less than two hours, all the air that can sustain life a moment would be, in this new and almost bottle-tight room, if not removed by opening the doors or windows, entirely consumed.And, taking into the account the quantity of this vital principle inhaled by the pores of so many persons, and the probably greater portion destroyed by the fire and reflecting surface of the stove and pipe, I presume one hour is sufficient to render the air extremely unhealthy ; an hour and a half, absolutely poisonous ; and two hours, so fata!- ly so as to cause your children to drop dead on the floor \u2018Thunder !\u2019 exclaimed Bunker,\u2019 can this be so ?I long since knew that we were put upon our allowance, when in close rooms, for the right kind of breathing air; but I never snpposed there was so much death in the pot as that comes to.But that fact which vou build upou\u2014the amount of vital air a person destroys an hour\u2014T am afraid, Doctor, vou!
