Religious Maniac.

The Chicago Tribune gives the sub
joined account of a female impostor or
maniac, who is figuring off in Illinois.
There is woman residing in Hancock
county, Illinois, who claims to be inspir-
ed. She is a native of Vermont, and has
lived thirty years near Cincinnati. 1t is
said that she had no education whatever,
but was taught to read and write by the
spirit of God, and received at the same
time command to prophecy and write
book for the instruction of mankiuG.-
Obedient to these heavenly teachings,
she addressed herself to the task thus mi
raculous assigned her. For four weeks
she wrote incessantly, day and night,
without food or sleep, at the end of which
time the holy influence was withdrawn,
with the promise, however, that it would
again be communicated to her at some
future time. Three years afterwards the
promise was fulfilled, and Mrs. Celia
Spaulding, (such is her name has recent
ly gone to Cincinnati to superintend the
publication of her work, written under
such auspices. 1t is to be of quarto size,
and will contain 800 pages. She styles
it "a Memoir and Prophecy, written by
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit Of God,
under the character of Shiloh, or the
weary sufferer who is to bring the true
light of the hidden gospel to fallen
man. She also "comes under the light
of the woman, clothed with the sun, and
pointing out the Seven Churches of John,
&C., Rev. 1st, I'd and Sd chapters"
Mrs. Spaulding, says the Chicago Trib-
une, is now SO years of age, is well in
formed on general topics, converses flu
emily and conneetedly upon every subject
but that of prophecy. When that is
mentioned she at once becomes wild and
incoherent.

SIGH A GITTIN UP STAIRS. Said
an old preacher, once upon time, as
we learn from the Richmond Despatch,
"If you were told that by going to the
top of those steps yonder pointing to the
ricketty pair at one end of the church
you could secure your eternal salvation, |
really believe hardly any of you would
try it. But let any man proclaim that
there was five hundred dollars up there,

If you would be always thirsty, be
drunkard; for the oftener and more you
drink, the oftener and more thirsty you
will be.
If you seek to prevent your friends

kard; for that will defeat all their effor-
is.
If you would effectually counteraet your
own attempts to do well, be drunkard;
and you will not be disappointed.
If you wish to repel the endeavors of
the whole human race to raise you to
character, credit and prosperity, be a
drunkard ; and you will most assuredly
triumph.

drunkard; for that will consume the
means of their support.

be drunkard; for that viii make their
task easy.

drunkard; and you will soon be ragged
and penniless.
If you wish to be robbed, be drum
kard; which will enable the thief to do it
with more safety.
If you would wish to blunt your senses,
be drunkard; and you viii soon be more
stupid than an ass.

kard, and you will soon lose your under

intercourse, be drunkard; for that Will

by so powerful an enemy.

IF you would have no resource when
past labor but workhouse, be drum
kard; and you will be unable to provide
any.
IF you are determined to expel all
comfort from your house, be drunkard;

you would always be under suspicion, be
a drunkard; for, little as you think of it,
all agree that those who steal from them
selves and families will rob others
If you would be reduced to the neces-
sity of stunning your creditors, be a
drunkard; and you will soon have reason
to prefer by-paths to the public streets.
If you would be dead weight on the
community, and "cumber the ground"

like that of dunghill.

Bacon "do not destroy so many of the
human race, nor ALLEVIATE so much prop
erty as drunkenness.
