Portsmouth, April 18, 1805,
A VERY deplorable and extraordinary event
took place very lately in the environs of Strats
burgh. An eld shoemaker, called Schneider, of the
sect of the iliuminee, and who pretended to be in
immediate communication with the divinity, had in
many circumstances giveh proofs of his disorder,
announcing as near at hand the end cf, the world,
and giving out his dreams as indubitable prophe
cies. Some persons had become his adherents, par
ticularly his brother-in-law, Westerman, # also a
shoemaker, whom he had persuaded to relinquish
his trade, to share amongst thejirst people who
presented themselves hjs furniture and effects, and
to wait in perfect tranquillity fol the day of Judg
ment, without any other care than to recite canti
cles and prayers. In the mean time his prophe
cies were not verified, and the world still continu
ing to last, his proselytes successively abandoned
him. He then quitted 'the town of Stratsburgh with
his family- his mother-in-law ana brotlier in law,
to settle himself with them in the village of Hoen
helm, where he continued to prophecy. One morn
ing, upon walking, he announced that curing the
night lie had been visited by the Holy Ghost, who
had formally declared to him that his mother-in
law had only 24 hours to live. The good woman,
upwards of eighty years of age, answered @t she
was ready to submit to the will of Heaven; on whom
her destiny depended, and that she should die
without grief. Night coming on, Schneider and
his brother-in-law Westerman, set abcut digging a
grave in the cellar of the house they lived in, and
in the morning they laid the old woman in it, and
buried her alive, singing psalms and canticles over
her body : after which they returned to their daily
occupations. The news of this event being spread,
an Officer of Justice was sent for to Stratsburgh,
and upon searching he found the corpse^ inis oc
casioned the arrest of the prophet and his brother
in-law. They are soon to be tried at Stratsburgh.
Lon.pnp.
Say, did you give the thrilling transport way ?,
Did your eye brighten when young lambs did play,
Leap'd o'er your path in animated pride,
Or gaz'd in merry clusters by your side ?
On airy downs the sheperd idling lies, $
And sees to-morrow in the marbled skies.
Sav ye that knew, ye who have felt and seen
Spring's morning smiles and soul enlivening green,
Fled from the sullen murmurs of the north,
Tiie splendid raiment of the^pring peep, forth,
The universal green, and the clear sky,
Delight still more the gazing eye.
WHERE'ER she treats love gladdens every plain,
Delight on tip-toe bears her lucid train,
Sweet hope with conscious brow before her flics,
Anticipating wealth from summer skies !
All nature feels her renovating sway :
The sheep-fed pastures, and the meadows gay ;
And trees and shrubs, no longer budding seen,
Display the new grown brunch of lighter green.
Wide o'er the fields in rising moisture strong,
Shoot up the simple flower, or creeps along
The mellow'd soil imbibing fairer hues,
Or sweets from frequent showers and evening dews.
From the Charleston Courier.
GO to the tcmb where Washington now lies,
Each deed important of his life review,
O'er all his actions search with Argus' eyes,
Retire to pause—and make thy record true.
Go tell the world ' unrival'd in his fame,
Enroll'd in immortality his name.
When foreign legions landed on per shore,
And sought to ravage o'er this peaceful land,
Some pitying Angel on swift pinions bore
Heaven's fav'ring mandate to our martial band ;
Inspir'd them to protect pure Freedom's laws,
Nam'd our lov'd Hero to the tented field,
Gave Washington to gain the glorious cause,
To gaurd our Rights and force the foe to yield :
On Justice bent, his sword obedient drew,
None felt its weight, but own'd its mercy too.
