between two. dead trees, standing in the

numberless and rapid circles with its head,
beak and neck, TO the tail feathers Of the
north side. Drawing closer, observed the
cause of its agony. Its tail was divided--

The south side feathers we're bluck, or black

lie evenly together, but one was raised
above another, as the feathers may be in

distinctly from the othert in advance, and

1t strange that an eagle should have tail
half black and half white, and more singu-
lar that the tail should be divided against
itself; and that the black half should be in
such futter, and SO violent in its move

such force as TO shake the world. Tho
north and white side remained white, and,
think, unbroken. To these, the. head
made its appeals. On one side Of the eagle
were two trees, whose tops were dead, but
their lower branches green. These were
on the south side. In front Of the eagle,
some distance, were two huge and lofty
trees, of heavy foliage and inteslscing
branches.
After waiting some time, in great sym-
pathy with the eagle, and marking the air
darken, and the great mansion lessen, and
groves partly wither, the roo men 1 saw
upon the north trees called for help for the
eagle. After some delay, some one ap-
preached it and raising his hand TO ad-
just the feathers, the eagle suddenly /ellto
a LeUet, and began to Use his toinss; still the
tail was not yet united. At this iuncture,
the feathers Of the south side began to fall
compactiy together. Several showed dis
inclination to this, and the black scredth
still glittered among them Soon, all fell
to perfect and equal levet with the north
feathers. Then, suddenly, the FIRST black
feathers coalesced with other southern fea.
thers, and all grew white together one
black feather stood out after all the rest
The eagle, as few, passed under the crest Of
the united trees before him, dipping down
as he went under and raising little as he
passed. 1t was just under this arbor that
the last south-side feathers coalesced with
the .othors, and all grew white together
1t was under these two trees that the north
and south divisions of the tail coalesced in
full, compactly coming together as unit
again, after violent disunion.
i "Aftor the eagle passed the trees, each
stroke OF his wings was quicker than its
predecessor, till too rapid to be distinguish
ed The eagle, also, grew in size as il did
in rapidity, and in brightness as in size;
every feather Of it's body sent forth stfeams
of light, like jets of stars, till the river, the
earth and the skies were in blaze Of glory.
1t passed the gloomy mountain of the
south Armageddon came-the New Je-
rusalem lame down. mingled with the
saints--and the eagle, spreading over the
world, dissolved in a universal and solid
glory forever" &C., &c.
i INTERPRETATION.
1.-The Age of Freedom and the White
Eagle were the United States.
j 2--Thc division of the tail was the act
ual or virtual division of the Union.
3-The one black feather in advance was
one Southern State revolving in advance,
of the others.
4-The three, four, FIVE, six or seven
btdck feathers were other States separately
IrevOlting - their separativeness, and yet
their association, shows separate and asso-
lciate action,
J, 5-The border feathers, more together
shows more united action.
1.-The dead tree, or trees, by which the
division occurred, may prove to be 3 Pres
ident and Vice President of the United
States
THE two trees, partly dead, and part
ly green, may be a President discarded by
, half the people The two trees under
which the eagle's tail united may be a
President aud Vice President under whose
administration the divided States may CO.
aescs aud re-unite op equal rights
3 S--The circles Of the head to the north
tail feathers may be appeals TO the North
) States.
On some points / may be in error--cer-
3 tainly am in doubt The times make
this old dream and exposition curious, il
not interesting. lfrmy verify as to its oo.
currence at the time stated were doubted,
: vouchers as to its relation ten years ago can
be produccd,as well as ridicule of 1t in pub.
i lie prints at the time.
