and that her friends would have difficulty in
procuring the house for the occasion.
The mother kept the sad secret to her
self and waited for the appointed time, ho-
ping that all might yet go we'll with her
and hers, and not caring to be reckoned as
one who would attempt to revive the de-
funct doctrine of spiritualism. But with
the time came the terrible blow Three
days before the time predicted for her
death the little girl fell upon the floor, from
which she was taken to bed, and at the
hour and minute foretold on the third day
breathed her last. Her eyes remained open
after death and could not be closed Her
friends supposing her in trance made
many and vain efforts to restore her to life
\ few days after the burial as Rev. H. =.
Barst was passing that way, friend of Mrs.
Charles called on him and requested him to
tarry while and preach the little girls
funeral sermon. The reverend gentleman
excused himself On the ground Of prior en-
gaGements but promised to return and do
so IN sh3r. Imc. lis person and equip
ments corresp sponded in the most minute par
ticular with the prophetic description, and
when he lid return TO redeem his promise
the workmen who had built the new house,
having lien upon il, refused to let it be
opened for the funeral service, but subse-
quently gave up the key, and the sermon
was preached at the exact time and place
predicted.
The bereaved mother had intended that
the knowledge Of these prophecies and their
fultilment should go out Of time with her,
but recently, the weight of secresy bearing
more crushingly npon her, she determined
to reveal the whole matter, and in accor-
dance with this determination one day last
week she sent for John baltimore, Esq,
and Samuel v Wood, one Of our County Com
missioners, and to them gave the particu-
lars, the most prominent Of which we have
given The gentlemen named are among
the oldest, most respectable and influential
citizens in cur county, and their known
character for integrity is sufficient guaran-
tee that they would not favor wrong ac-
ton or in any way assist in giving publicity
to a story as to the truth of which they had
a reasonable doubt These gentlemen, we
understand, have taken down the facts as
Mrs. Charles stated them, for the purpose
Of giving them to the public in pamphlet
form. They both bear testimony to the
good character and standing of the lady
who makes the revelation, and would regard
anything coming from her as entitled to
credit,

The following somewhat interesting sto-
ry is related as grave truth by the Ken
ton CO., Republican. The locality of the
celestial visit is laid in Orange township,
Hancock county, in that State. We give
it just as we find it, allowing our readers
to take it for what they may think it worth
Some time in August last, bright and
intelligent little girl, aged FIVE years, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Charles, who resides in the To-
cality described, while playing near the
well in the yard, about noon in the day,
seemed to discern something high up in
the air and descending towards her. The
attention Of the child was so much drawn
to the object that her gaze became riyctcd
upon it, and as it drew nearer, she was OBJ
served to make frequent attempts to reach
it with her hands, and form a closer ac-
quaintancc with the strange visitant-
When the mother of the child was called
to the scene the little girl informed her
that she was in the presence of an angel
that she talked with it, and that it had
made communications to her; and further
more, gave description of it, according in
every minute particular with the generally
received impression of the appearance of
these messengers from above To satisfy
herself that there was no delusion in the
matter, the mother entered into conversa-
tion with the stranger, and after being sat
isfed of the reality of the intervew-af-
ter having seen and talked with the angel
face to face-and after receiving informa-
ton from it of the time when her own
death would occur-shc retired from the
spot, taking her little girl with her, and
the angel, waving its bright wings, return
ed heavenward When the mother and
her child were alone, they talked freely of
what they had seen and heard, and tie
mothers sadness was made deeper by the
artless story of the child, who said that the
angel told her she would die just two
months from the time she first saw it at pre-
cisely twelve o'clock and twenty-five min
utes that she would be three days in dy-
ing; that her death would be unlike that
of others; that her friends would suppose
her to be in trance; that her eyes could
not be closed; that her funeral sermon
would be preached in three weeks after she
was dead, in the new school house of the
neighborhood, by man whom, together
with his horse and buggy, she described,

FRiE DRUNkARD'S LOOKING-CIASS
BY l.. EATON.

Behold the drunkard reeIing home,
Behold him tumble down;
Behold him losing his estate
Ills credit and renown.
Whene'er | take my walks abroad,
How many poor see,'
Who say, land drink the poison DOWN.
The fault is not in me.
Go search the world from pole to nole.
And then you'll surely know
How many broken limbs and backs
Poor drunkards undergo
How many drunkards freeze to death,
Who sleep upon the snow;
Yet still they drink so much that they
Can neither stand nor go.
They have craving appetite
Which loudly calls for more,
And when they have drank gills enough
They would drink half IA score.
They will invite noisy crew
To come and hnsk at night;
They freely pass the bottle round,
And then begin to fight.
The drunkard's word is I'VE will fight"
Perhaps he'll take your life,
And then he will 60 reeling home,
And will abuse his wife.
Why should a man of sense get drunk,
And lie and swear and curse
He soon will know when tbs too late,
He'll have an empty purse.
If they on whiskey, gin or rum,
Get drunk while you look on,
And you don't wish to join the club,
You better then be gone.
Why should these senseless sons of strife
Religion still pretend;
AS well can heaven and hell agree
As they can this defend.
Religion soothes the troubled mind,
And sets the pris'ner free;
But drunkard's, with religion still,
viii ever disagree.
o, needless drunkards, now reform,
And whiskey throw away;
Just so the sun breaks through cloud
Ills glories to display.
Sometimes for med cine we may use
Some whiskey, if We please
1t stops contagion when we're sick,
And gives the body ease.
But when we drink it to excess,
1t causes sinking breath,
With bloated face and fiery nose,
At last disease and death.
Should all the stills that cause disease,
In this our happy CLINE,
Be- burn'd to ashes on the ground,
We'd see better time
Then all the poor would have enough
Of corn and grain to eat,
And we no more should hear the sound
Of Come, sir, will you treatY
