the pen OF inspiration seems to labour in
tlndlng images to express its shortness.
The vapour, that appearcth but little
time, and then vanisheth away the grass,
which to-day is, and tomorrow is cut
down, dried up, and withered: the light
ming, which shineth from one side of the
horizon TO the other, and is then gone /:
the path of an arrow through the air, or a
ship through the ocean: ccery thing that
the experience or imagination of man has
found or felt to be most fleeing, has been
taken to express, in some slight manner.
the utter worthessness of human life.
And does "W'' think that the wise and
good men who spake thus were ungrateful
and gloomy, and cheated themselves into
misanthropy /! In speaking asstheY did,
they spoke the truth, and they had noble
design. 1t is true, that when you consider
the course of a spirit that is to exist for
ever, a few years even Of unmitigated
suffering on this earth is not to be at all
thought of. In one veiw only do the OBJ
]ects of the world, and our short courses
here, rise to be of unreasonable impor-
lance. Those objects as they affect US,
those courses as we guide them, are to
lead hereafter to eternal happiness, or to
great suffering. If in this life only we
had hope, we should be of all men most
miserable" It is not who say this, but
the gloomy and misasthropick st. Paul.
He and the other writers Of the holy scrip
tures-i repeat it--spoke the truth, and
their design in doing it was, if | may be
allowed the expression, the same as mine
own. twas to call us off from the objects
OF world, which ought not TO satisfy an
immortal mind, to console us under Attic
tons which must come, and to point our
hopes-where alone they can be satisfied
to Heaven and to God. G.

FOR THE LANCASTER GAZETTE.

The real value, the daily enjoyment, of
life, is so evidently dependent on neigh
bourhood, on the kindness and appreciation
of those in our vicinity, that this treasure
is seldom too highly estimated, or too
dearly purchased. Where peace, tender
ness, and mutual affection, endear the ia
miliar intercourse between adjacent fami-
lies, this delightful harmony is a source of
innumerable blessings. They appear, and
in certain sense they feel, like several
branches of the same family placed in
different apartments. Three heads of
families within my knowledge, whose
farms were separated only by fences, built
their respectable houses near together,
but few rods apart, in the corner of large
town, and distant from other neighbours.
They spent series of prosperous years,
reared large families, were much beloved
and respected as citizens and as christians,
and neUer suffered an interruption of their
quietness, and the happiest social inter-
course. They never knocked at each
others door, they never kept any account
between themselves, never made settle
ment with each other. If one wanted
one or both the others teams, he gave
timely notice, and they were seasonably
attached to his plough. Did perfection
reside in that delightful spot? Were pa
rents and children all amiabIe, virtuous,
without frailty, without infirmity, without
faults No They had the feelings, the
passions, the infrmities, and imperfec-
tons common to men out connected as
they were, and insulated from other soci-
ETY., they felt the Importance of cherishing
and preserving mutual kindness; and that
in their situation, good neighbowhoOd
would cost Tess than it was worth. What
would dissension, enmity, have done in
that little flourishing, and truly charming
vicinity? A neighbourhood at variance,
arrayed in mutual hostility, insidiously
enlisting partisans to maintain the contest,
offers correct and instructing answer.
1t is truly Notifying, humbling indeed,
to see what trdqes become sources of cold
ness, Indifference, jealousy, prejudice,
enmity, and lasting quarrels among neigh
bours, who realized, in preceding years,
the happiest intercourse. A groundless
report, malicious whisper, a misreprc-
sentation Of facts, made as q Gerry pro-
found secret, made in pure confidential
kindness, and the most refined fidelity of
friendship, but secret to be kept, # pos
sible, from OmniScience itself; either of
these, particularly the latter-the CONT
dcntial sccrct-not seldom is the latent
spark from which wasting flame of dis
sension rises.
Profound secrets, where reputation is
concerned, should Arrays be very eau
tiously received. The injunction of Sc
crecy is often made by fear Of detection

rIOuS, and Tears were entertained that some
| high-handed measure would be attempted,
T as winding-up scene to their career of
folly and infatuation. Their claims to be-
II ing descendants of the ancient Jews, and
lawful inheritors of the whole country,
they declared were soon to be established
by the hand of Omnipotence. An earth
quake was prophesied to happen during
the night of the 18th Jan. 1902; at which
time the Destroying Angel was to move
forward and smite all but the chosen. The
scene Of carnage which was TO ensue had
been much dwelt upon and the ninth
and eleventh chapters Of the book Of Eze-
kiel, (frequently made the subject of dis
courses at their meetings,) were declared
to have special reference to the coming
catastrophe.
AS the 18th of Jan. approached, ex-
citement increased throughout the town,
and the militia were required to be in or
der for service at moments Warming
The military stores belonging to the town,
were removed from the house of the Mug
scunp, (Which had been their depository
and the means of producing an earthquake,
it is believed, were thus removed.
At sunset Of the ominous 18th, the
Rodsmen repaired to their leaders, house,
after mailing upon their door posts paper,
on which was written" Christ our Pass
over soas Sacrificed for u.s. This was to
preserve the habitations of the Faithful
from the destruction speedily to be visited
upon those of their neighbours. Solemn
farewells were exchanged with their neigh
bours, and many affecting interviews were
held by the Rodsmen with their children,
who were not allowed by the stern decree
of the rod to follow their parents, and of
whom these infatuates pretended to believe
they were taking their final leave. Alto
o'clock, the military were under arms, and
a sergeant's' guard was posted on each of
the four streets diverging from the village.
In short time, six Rodsmen, fantastical-
ly dressed, and equipped according to the
directions they supposed given them,
Ezekiel tx. q were observed rapidly APP
proaching. After being hailed by the
guard, they were fired upon, when they
turned and fled About midnight, the
same men approached the village in anoth-
or direction--were again hailed, fired up
on, and dispersed. Thus ended this
strange drama.
Immediately after this exhibition, which
had created much CONSERVATION, the in
dignation of the whole people burst upon
these shameless imposters. The leaders
of the fraternity, therefore, feeling them
selves contemplate, by the failure of their
earthquake; seeing the &c slow moving fin
ger of scorn " pointed towards them from
all their neighbours; and fearing, more
over, that the heavy hand of the law would
fall on them for their misdeeds disposed
OF their property and removed into the
county of st. Lawrence, New-York;
where it is said something of their former
delusion stuck by them. They are now
mostly dead.
