he did, for he could not only, like a provi.
dent man, look forward, bat he could sec
on either side of him, and occasionally
cast
"A long and lingering look behi ID"
The fact was, his eyes were set IN their
sockets ut adverse angles, like the teeth Of

"Now there's more Of it, said Bill.
"Why did | taee it! Well, pom N sowl

The Recorder told Mr.. Dolan that he
fully appreciated his cxettions III the calise
of science but do the lsw, whose notions
of aaieum and tiam were somewhat anti
quated, viewed tie taking of the saw in
the light of a larceny, his sense Of official
duty compelled him TO send the case before
the Criminal Court, and ttithcr he sent it,
sending Bill in the mean time 10 the Gala

THE LhFE MEDICINES
GENERAL REMARKS.

These medicines are indebted for their
name to their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and chanrtels of fife. and
enduing them with renewed tone and vigor,
and to the undoubted fact that at a very early
period in their history they had rescued suffer-
ers from the very verge of an untimely grave,
after all the deceptive nostrums of the day,
prescribed by physicians, had utterly failed, IN
which cases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment of health, without
which life itself is bat a partial blessing.

cines at Baton Rouge. july 81 %

. SH3KERIsm.-Mr. Carter, a renor15cing
shaker, visited this place u few weeks
since, and gave two Or three lectures OF
shakerism, and sung some twenty songs,
danced, exposed Miller's theory, and did
several other things for the amusement of
his audience.
The Shakers creed is u very curious
one. They Believe in one God, and two
persons in the uodhead---lnale and fertile.
or Father and Mother-called Power and
Wisdom.
They believe that Adam was the Father
&c the Old Creation and Eve was the
M~other-both being created aftefthe image
Of God !; and hat Christ is the Father Of
the New Creation, and Ann Lee the
Mother, and that the millennium commenced
Nth the appearance of Ann Lee on earth.
They believe in the Immortality of ami.
mails as well as. men. They say that John
saw horses in the world Of SPIRITS, as re-
corded in revelations. They believe that
all the ugly and venomous animals on the
earth are synbolical of the evil epirlts that
inhabit the lower regions Of the Invisible
world, and that all the beautiful creatures,
such as birds With gorgeous plamage, are
symBolical of the good spirits in the man.
sions of bliss.
They believe that the souls of Shakers,
in theft frances and visions, really visit the
heavenly world. The lancet has been APP
piled 70 them, and their flesh has been
scarrified while in this state, without pro-
ducing a particle of blood. Ore persof',
who visited the land of spirits n a trance,
saw all the Fatrisrchs and kings Of the
olden times; saw king David travelling
and Solomon on a snow white horse saw
Christ and all the Apostles.
