IMMORTALITY.

The belief of our own mortality
seems ." natural to man, and is 50 uni.
vcrsal even among tire most unsophis-
ticated and unenlightcucd part of our
species. that none. we could think,
rs a strangely perverted mind could
reject it. We have naturally a s&sonc-
propensity to believe in what we ear.
nesily desire, especially in ttose hid.
den things which can nsitlier be prov
ed ror disproved BY thes evidence Of
our senses ! SO strong, indeed. we
nigh say. that none except those whose
love of existence is embittered by
wre tchedness which emselves have
made. and who shudder at the idea of
Of accountability, can ever lure them
selves to'die belief, that they must one
day '.leep without dream Of what they
were or woull be .iill."
The savage Of the western wilds be.
lieves, that when the earthly frame in
which his present identity Consists 10
mingled with the dust, he will revive
in light eriaI form. and live happy
inhabitant Of sylvan paradise, which a.
bounds with every thing dear to his
simple ideas offelicity.. The poor Az
rican, amid the tolls Of his thraldom.
is cheered with the thought. that when
his mortal part descendS to that peace
ful mansion, where the wicked cease
from troubling. his soul will return to
the balmy wales Of the east, and roam
ever unrestrained and blessed amid the
scenes of his youth. Such are the j!
IDEAS which nature or inspiration sng.

spirit which excludes every ray Of a
light 50 cheering. Strange u is. and
it is one Of the most striking incons's-
tencies. which error ever exhibits, that
he w..ose sclf.suffcient pride cannot
stoop to ackno Wedge. Truth which
is not evident to every outward sense,
can yet humble himself to believe that
50 glorious a spark Of creation. as his
own mind. was kindled only to shine
fo a moment and expire, that the spir-!
il whUse imaginative power can wan
der over the boundless realms Of space
and eternity, is destined soon to be as
that which never existed, to spring
like rain drops from the clouds Of un.
pothingness, only to fall.

MODERN PILGRIMS.

In the summer OF 1918, company ofpeople,
calling themselves Pilgrims, appeared descend
ing the Mississippi in 4 fat boat. By their
own account they started from Lower Canada
in company consisting of eight or ten. In
Vermont they recruited twenty or thirty; in the
state of New York several more-and when
they reached Cincinuatti their mn mbers amount
ed TO about sixty.
Their leader Canadian, BY the name Of Bull
lard, (called also By his followers the prophet
Eliiah,) was of a diminulive stature, with a
club foot Before he begun his mission he had
a. severe spell of sickness, when he tasted 40
DAYS Gas he said, and his disciples believcd;) al
ter which he recovered very suddenly, by the
special interpretation of the Divine Spirit, and
being filled with enthusiasm, he declared that
he was commanded TO plant the church OF the
Redeemer in the wilderness, and among the hea-
then. From these notions, thus Imblbed, and
which he instilled into bis followers, they be-
lieved themselves capable OF fasting 40 days;
accordingly when they committed themselves
t, the current, the prophet enJoiAed 40 days
fast. &, The people becoming sick and IN great
distress froyn hunger, this severe commander
found it necessary to remit, IN some degree,
the rigor Of his injunction, and he permitted the
taking Of -four broth through quill, because
he received his food in this way after his long
sickness and fast, when he could not open his
Jaws; and which had the vivitying effect, taken
| by him for supernatural power or inspiration.
| But as the cruel allowed was very meagre, be-
| ing simply flour and cold water, debility, mi
sery and death attended the experiment. Yet
with faith and hope they persisted.
In this wretched situations they arrived at
Pilgrims Island, which derives its name from
this fact; at which place they were fallen in with
BY barge, belonging to Nashville, whose crew
detesting the conduct of the prophet and his
seconds who watched and governed the timo-
rous multitude, gave some Of the leaders a
sound drubbing with the plant cotton wood
switch.
They next landed at the Little Prairie. The
PROPHETS staff, which the direction Of its fall
had hitherto pointed the way, now stood still;
and he declared that here he was commanded
to settle and build Church; but Mr.. Walker,
| who owned the soil and resided in this solitary
