ANEcDoTE OF CYRUS Witty re6uhe
Of Mitlerism.-We were much amused, few
days ago. by an anecdote related to us by gen.
tleman from Providence, of Cyrus Butler, one of
the wealthiest citizens of Rhode Island, who has
lately made munifcent donation of forty thous-
and dollars towards the establishment of an in
sane asylum. 1t appears that a few weeks ago
some Milertes called upon Mr.. B. to admonish
him of the approaching end of the world on the
23d of October, and of the Importance of his ma
king good use of his wealth before it should all
be consumed in the general coElagraton. After
listening patiently, Mr.. b. replied, Well, gen.
tlemen, am much obliged to you for your good
intentions, and the effect of your arguments has
been to convince me that have made the best
possible use of it, at least portion of my pro-
perty, in founding an Asylum for the Insane
and you are perfectly welcome to the benefit Of
it. Good morning, genlemen."-N. Y. Sun
