Upon these singularly arranged characters we have
studied much, but confess that we unable to make
them up; the arrangement is different from any He
brew letters we saw pat together; there is no
such arrangement in either the Samaritan, the
Chaldean or the Hebrew dialects; and we earnestly
and respectfully call upon major Noah, some other
Of Hebrew pawnbroking, old clothes-selling
friends, to furnish us with a free translation of
| the for the benefit of the community in ge-
neral. II none of these capable Of assisting
US in this particular perhaps it be done by the
celebrated Rabbi Ben Shildeburger Uziel, the or
heir Of the great Rabbi Alb Bath Din, who recently
rived from the Holy Land by way of Fayal, and who
dresses like Turk as he walks through streets.
We entreat this learned Theban, this travelling
Turco-Jew, to expound unto us forthwith the mys-
terry Of these characters that we may be pre- pared
meet any great emergency.
At any rate advise all the sinners of this great
city, old and young, handsome and ill-favored, male
and female to square up their accounts in the great
ledger of godliness and be prepared for the worst
This Aurora Borealis certainly means something
nsmentous 1t is inkeeping with the great agitation
Of the godly earth. For one hand, we have the
great revival Of the Methodists up town, amongst
their several churches; we have the great Norman
Camp and Bush Meetings in New jersey, all round
Paterson. We are to have great and highly inter-
esting Camp Meeting at Flushing, another at Sing
Sing, another at Shrewsbury, amongst the sand hills
of New Jersey, another at Stamford in Come tcut
which is to be very interesting one, and another
near New Brunswick, where there is an admixture
Of horse racing and dog fighting by way Of spice.
The great leading points Of action at places
were to be read in the Heavens Tuesday night;
therefore call on all sinners in Wall street
to balance their books with the Devil, quickly
possible and either manage to hedge or to Offset, and
thus save their souls alive. We call all rogues
now in the Custom House, Corporation, and other
Office holders to make clean that which is within,
and not to make a clean sweep. We call upon Webb
to wind up his affairs and balance his account with
the Poudretts Company this is the last chance he
may have to save his soul. We particularly call
all beautiful young women to turn out and
attend these great meetings for meditation and
ship, and prayer, and praise for the great day for
dishng up sinners (no matter how ovely) will other
wise come upon them a thief in the night. For
ourselves intend to quit dirty politics for
and become religious, and work ont salvation
"with fear trembling"
| The world is doubt returning to a primitive
state Of things; people are beginning to see the
beauty piety, and philosophy Of worshiping In the
wilderness like John, or in enchanting groves and
gardens, like Adam and Eve in Paradise; and some
Of the ladies beginning to make dresses cores
pond as nearly possible with the first fashionable
garments Of the mother Of all mankind. They are
saying to the wicked, and the worldly, and the
bigotted,
sGo thou and seek the house Of prayer
We 10 the woodlands wend way,
And meet religion there ~
And then how delightful, after hard days work Of
prayer and piety in the woods, TO lay down nice
clean straw, mown hay, or in the long grass
" under the shady greenwood tree" Delightful we
must certainly 20. What beautiful women will 90
along and have their souls saved
| Under the shady greenwood tree
\ Who loves TO lie with me-
said Will Shakespeare, when he was in a loa6ng hu-
NOR, and say we in pious humor. So, there
fore, sinners one and all, old and young, handsome
and otherwise, say unto you, in the language Of
scripture, "now is the accepted time-now is the
day Of salvation ~ Now is the time for all yeung
pious girls 10 their souls first and get good
bands afterwards.
