A~Uful disclosure.

Awful Disclosure.
Jam rrdit ct VIRGO redeia Satursia Tegra ,

highly important event is about taking place IN
this sublunary vale equally interesting TO love- pety
and true religion. The birth Of young Father Phelan'
by the amiable and accomplished virgin Miss Mara
Monk is now about to be outsnpped and surpassed
Sic lides muse paulo majora cana nus.
We understand from good authority that this lovely
black eyed virgin, again IN that condlloh IN WHICH,
as the heathen poets say, "adies are who love 'her
lords" In plain parance, the sweet, the amlaDe the
pous, the religious, the enchanting Miss Mara MONK
is again encisnte-is again nearly ready to give orth
to young man of God. On this occasion, with that
regard for the multiplicity of sects, tastes, and rell-
gons which exist in the world she intends to give
brth-not as formerly to young Catholic priest but
to lovely, interesting and never yielding young
Presbyterian parson-an article Of the real true blue
stamp, that will never give up to Pope or Preate.
Miss Maria Monk is one Of the most extraordinary
virgins of the age. With that true Cathoc-which
being interpreted means sunversal-sp, she never be-
slows favor on one sect of religion but she IS ready
to set aside in all due time, portion of her benevo-
lence for another. For many months past she has
been engaged in writing books in defence Of the purity
of Protestanlsm and the ungodlness of Popery; but
finding her feeble efforts unavailng in that line, to
curb the Pope, she has earnestly set to work, in her
own natural and truly peculiar way, and will soon be
ready to route him by the young babe about coming
into the world Some, indeed, surmise that she may
return 10 Montreal with the young Presbyterian par
son in her arms and shew up the Protestant mumeries
of New York. as she has done the Popsh mumeries of
the former city. Be that as it may, the event now
maturing is a most extraordinary one. Oh, why will
not the world repent!
AS to the father of this child, it is matter of little
consequence. Marin herself says that religion has
always had most miraculous effect on her. Her
book proves that beyond doubt, and the little sml-
ing Young Father Phelan is a living evidence
Since she has been in this city, she has been in COM
pany with the Rev. VIM. X. Hoyt the Rev. Mr..
Bourne, the Rev. J. J. Slocum the Rev Mr. Theodore
Dwight, and we don't know how many other revcr-
ends besides 1t is now nearly twelve months since
had the pleasure Of an interview with Maria to ex-
anime her statements and it was in the presence of
two Of the loveest girls that can be found east OF the
Bowsry besides an elder or two look So, thank
God am safe! But truly pity Col. Stone. Hshas
been in her company only few months snce-aw-
full suspicious monstrous!
Seriously however, we are positively informed that
this "awful disclosure is sober truth. Maria has for
the present disappeared-but il is only for season.
As soon as appearances arc restored, she will be
spirited back ltisreally tins to probe to the bottom
the whole Of this most superlatve hsmbug in relation
to Maria Monk fit be not true that she is a second
time encienie let it be ascertaned by medical autho-
ry and let those respectablereligious who have
been hanging on her apron strings purge themselves
from the awful winding up Of this most gross and
Unprecedented delusion. We must have public ex-

To this sale crowd those who are about to make an
