For instance, In the first verse of the
book of Genesis containing six .Alephs,
which i. the first letter Of the Hebrew
Alphabet, Moses intended propheticaI-
ly to determine the duration Of our
planetary system, to wit, 5000 years
1000 without the law, 1000 under the
law, and 1000 after the coming and
reign of the Messiah.
Christian interpreters pursuing this
cabalIistical method in their reading,
have alleged that the imports of the
names OF antediluvian patriarchs taken
in their order, represent the fall Of mep,
and a prophecy Of the Messiah. The
speculationiis at least innocent, and
will to most appear singular one.
The explanation alluded to is this. I'D

able: Cainan, lamentable state: 1iahaI-

scend: Enoch, teaching that: 4lfethusa-
hh, his death shall produce: Lduech, TO
the contrite: Noah, consolation, a
Bromly and some Others have fol-
lowed this method ofreading these in
valuable treasures-but it will not an
swer for the sober inquirer TO rest on
the arbitrary Interpretation Of D few
Hebrew names. The precepts incuI.
Gated throughout the whole, iffaithful-
ly observed, and lived up to, will be Of
more avail than all the conjectures for
med on those parts, which may be
wrapped in allegory or mystery.

MISCELLANY.
From the Georgeio,cn Metropolita,

From the Georgelo,rn Metropolitan.
Genius and madness are said to be
nearly allied-this we believe is now
point universally conceded-every day
furnishes us with some illustrations in
support of the assertion. The female
stranger who made her appearance
here he first of last year under cir
cumstances so peculiar, was striking
example. She was found while under
the influence Of laudanum, which had
nearly done its Office on her-nothing
authentic could be learned OF her, or oil
her reasons tor wandering desolate and
lonely through the world. She was
taken care Of in this town, and at last
sent to family in the country, where
she resided some time. During her
stay there she would occasionally write
to her friends here, sometimes in the
most lively and pleasing strains OF
smooth yerse-again she would relapse
into kind of Melancholy, and breathe
out the most deep toned pathos. She
became Urea " hCi situa'io"
country, which was eligible, and the
first we hear of her is that she was IN
the aims house in Washington-she
soon however left that and wandered
TO Fredericksburg in Virginia, where
she now is, and where the generous
Vireinians will no doubt take care OF
her as long as she is content to remain
among them.
We subioin an extractor two from a
letter she wrote to lady here in verse
1t was an elegant poem and well worthy
of preservation.

On all mankind as they appeared to be-
And Fortune once displayed her golden
charms
