VISION OF JOSEPH HOAG,
DECEASED, WHO WAS AN EMINENT MINISTER 6
THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.

DECEASED WHO WAS AN EMINENT MINISTER OF
THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.
! In the year 1903, in the eighth or ninth month,
| was one day alone in the field. and observed
the sun shone clear, but mist eclipsed its bright
ness. As reflected upon the singularity of the
event. my mind was struck into silence the most
SOLEMN ever remember to have witnessed; for
all my faculties were low and IL. sua'ly brough,
into deep silence. | said to myself what can ali
this meanl do not recollect ever before to have
been sensible of such. feelings. And heard a
voice from Heaven say This which thou seest
which dims the brightness of the sun is sign of
present and coming times took the forefathers
of this country from land of oppression |
planted them here among the people OF the forest.
| sustained them and while they were humble
blessed them and fed them, and they became a
numerous people ; but now thoy have become
proud and lifted up and have forgotten me who
nourished them and ploec ed them in the wilder
ness, and are running into eve,y abomination and
evil practice of which the old countries are guilty
and have taken quietude from the 'and and suffered
dividing spirit to c'me among them Lift up
thine eyes and behod.' And saw them divd
ing in great heat. This division began in the
Church on points of doctrine 1t commenced If
the Presbyterian Society, and went through the
various religious denominations, and in its pro
ond c1osa to off tba Thoe.
that dlsconted went off with high heads and taunt
ing language and those who kept TO their oriai
nal sentiments appeared exercised and sorrowful
and when the dividing spirit entered the Society
of Friends, it ragged in as high degree IS in any
had before dis ,ovpred. As befole those wit
kept TO their ancient principles retired by them
selves.
1t appeared in Lodges of Freemasons. Il
broke out in appearance like vol;ano, inasmtsf

Sta es, annd did not sop until it produced civil
war and abundance of human blood was shed in
course of the combat The Southern States lost
their power, and slavery was annihilated from
their borders Then monarchal power arose
took the government of the States established

property from Frieads to a large amount. Twas
amazed at behodng all this, and | heard voice
proclaim "'rhis power shall not always stand
but with it | shall chastise my Church until they
return to the faithfuiness of their forefarthers
Thou soest what is coming on thy native land fol

probably soon be favorite employment for wo-
men. The machine couples very small space,
not more than large chair, and is beautifully
made of hard woods, brass, and steel. Its sue
cess is now beyond all doubt. The proprietors
of the Ftsdrelandent are SO gratifed by the one
they now have, that they have ordered another.
The price is2 400 Danish dollars 1t will last ap-
pareuty century or two without repair. Mr..
Sorensan, the inventor, himself a compositor all
his life, kindly shows the machine to any visitor.
Of course compositor cannot set with this ma
chine at once it will take him short time, a
few days, for him to become familiar with the
details, but he is then gentleman compared to

PARTING THOUGHTS.
BY wM. WRIT JOHNSTON.

We met; twas but as wand'ring shadows meet
On moon-lit eve--togethcr blending, yet
Not sooner met, than driven by power unseen
In paths diverse, the sport Of seeming chance.
'ris sweet, when realng in life's devious path,
Some kini ali friendly traveller to o'eriake
Who may hear US company, and bsguiin
The weary moments as we pass along;
But when thus called TO bid last adieu--
$, s1nn to be c5trAngel, and ncvermorc
Or note or tidingsi ihcNr ); those who cheered
Us on our lonely way, We almost feel
'Twerc better had we never met.
But now VIC part-a sa1lenng thought
And shall we e'er the past forgeti
The moments that, with pleasure fraught,
We've passed together since We met
Ah no each kindly word anu smile
VIII long be treasured up by me,
Which though no more my hours beguie,
Yet sweet shall be their memory.
When music, as by some sweet spell,
Holds mystic influence Ger my soul,
And bids my heart responsive swell
With feelings could not control:
IT'S then I'll pause, and sadly turn
One lingering look on days gone by,
And, for thy voice in vain shall yearn
To join in the sweet melody.
And oft, at twlght's pensive hour,
The past will be lived DER by me,
Each happy scene with magic power
Will wakon pleasing thoughts OF thee.
And say wilt thou on me bestow,
When far away, a single thought?
'Twould give my heart s9mc joy to know
That am not by thce forgot.

A New TYPE-SErTNG MAcHlNE.-A letter
from Copenhagen, under date of May Is, thus
describes new, important, and wonderful in
venlion. The writer says;
"0wing to the politeness of the editors, | have
now been able to see the new composing machine
as in actual operation in the Office of the Ftedre-
landet. Instead of the usual cases and compo-
sing sticks, and the compositor standing at his
work, we see person sitting before machine
with keys like piano, which he plays on inces-
sanity, and every touch on the tangent is followed
by click the letter is already in its place in
the long mohogony channel prepared iorit- The
whole is excessively ingenious. In fact it is fairy
work. The most wonderful purt is, that it dis
tributes the already used type at the same time
that it sets the new page, and with an exaetness
perfectly sure No omistake can ever occur. The
compositor, by this machine, does four times as
much work as any other workman, but, as he re
quircs an assistant to limo and page the set type
this brings 1t to twice tho amount of type set
The whole is 20 clean and pleasant, that it will

THE ApocRArHA.-The Apocrapha is collec-
ton of hooks often printed with our Bibles, 80
called from q Greek word, signifying hidden
or concealed because of the uncertainty of their
origin, age, and exact character. They have
never been held by the Catholic church as of
equal authority with those named in our sixth
article Of religion, Canonical Books TIE
council, however, of the servants Of the Pope
of Rome, held at Trent in the sixteenth centu-
ry, falsely called 'Holy, Occumenica and Gen
eral," and falsely put forth as representing
the Catholic church, among other acts which
served the Roman churc, from Catholic Unity,
decreed that the greater number of these Apoc-
ryplal books should be received as Of equal au-
thority with tho canonical, and cursed all those
who should dissent from the decree.
Although not held canonical, yet the books
of the Apocrypha have, from earl times, been
much valued by the Catholic church, and COM
monded to the use of Christians, and portions
Of thepl read in public worship, on the princi-
pie set forth in the aforesaid article of religion,
when it says, I" The church doth read them for
example Of life and instruction of manners, but
yet doth it not apply them to establish any doc
trine." On tlis principle the Apocrypha is
largely used in the church of England, the dai-
ly first lessons for several weeks in the year be-
ing taken from it, The American church con-
Gnes the use Of it, in her lessons, to the books
of Wisdom and Ecclesiusticus, and to some OF
the Holy days, Two of the sentences" of the
0hertory in the communion service, intermingled
with passages from the Old and New Testament,
are from the Anncrynha.

DEATH OF HAYNAu, TIE q AUSTRIAN BUTCH,

human monster, the warmth of life yet fingered
in the right arm and left leg of the corpse, which
remained limpid and moist, even bleeding slight

death for the other parts of the body were
completely mortified, and interment became
necessary before the two limbs above mentioned
had become either stiff or cold. This strange
circumstance produced the greatest awe in the
minds of those who witnessed it; and the En-
peror is so impressed with it, that the physicians
have forbidden the subject TO be alluded to in
