MISCELLANY Y.
Remarkable Vision.

The following singular vision was reveal
ed TO Joseph Hoag of the Society of
Friends, who was born in Dutchess county,
New York, April %, 1852. lie first APP
peared as Gospel minister when he was
about eighteen years of age. and was ac-
knowledged as such by the Society of
Friends tn the twenty-third year of his age.
In 1889 or 1880 he removed with his fam
lily and settled at Charlotte, Vermont, and
was the first minister who settled in that
town. He Travelled extensively as min
ister in all parts of the United States, also
in the Canadas and Nova Scotia. He died
at Charlotte, Vermont, November 81, lS46,
in the eighty-fifth year of his age. 1t was
while on his farm at Charlotte that he had
this vision -
"In the year 1908, probably in the
eighth or ninth month, | was one day alone
in the field and observed that the sun shone
clear but a mist eclipsed the brightness of
its shining. As / reflected upon the singu-
larity of the event, my mind was struck
into silence the most solemn | ever remem-
bered to have witnessed; for it seemed as
if all my faculties were laid low and unsu-
ally brought into deep silence. i said to
myself what can all this mean. i do not
recollect ever before to have been sensible
of such feelings. And | heard voice
from heaven say, This that thou secst
which dims the brightness of the sun is
sign of the present and coming times. |
took the forefahers of this country from
land OF oppression-I planted them here
among the people of the forcst-l sustain
cd them and while they were humble
blessed them. and fed them, and they be-
came numerous people, but they have
forgotten me who nourished and projected
them in the wilderness, and are running in-
to every aborninaiion and evil practice of
which the old countries are guilty, and
have taken quieiuie from the land and suf-
fered dividing spirit to come among them.
Lit up thine eyes and behold And saw
them dividing in great heat. This division
began in the church upon points of do irine.
1t commenced in the Presbyterian Society
and went through the various religious de-
nominations, and in lis progress and close

the effect was nearly the same. Those who
dssented went oil with high heads and
taunting language, and those who kept to
their organized sentiments appeared exer-
cised and sorrowful. When This dividing
spirit entered the Society of Friends Il
ragged in as high degree as any had be-
fore discovered, and as before those who
separated went with lofty looks and taunt-
ing, censuring language. Those who kept
to their ancient principles retired by them
selves. 1t next appeared in the lodges Of
the Free -Nasons and il broke in appear
ance like volcano, inasmuch MS it set the
country in an uproar for length of time
Then it entered politics throughout the
United States, and did no, stop until il pro-
duced civil war. An abundance of human
blood was shed in course of combat, The
Southern States lost their power, and slave
ry was annihil,tcd from their borders
Then a monarchial power arose, took the
government of tie States, established a
national religion and made all societies trib-
uiary TO support It's expense. l saw them
lake property from Friends TO large
amount. | was amazed at beholding all
this, and heard a voice proclaim; This
power shall no, always stand, but with this
power will chastise my church until they
return to the faithfulness of their forefath-
ers. Thou seest what is coming upon thy
native land for their iniquity and the blood
of Africa, The remembrance of which has
come up before me. This vision is yet for
many days"

DANIEL WEBSTER MATCHED Bf A
WoMAN.-In the somewhat famous case of
Mrs. Boggen's will, which was tried in the
Supreme Court, some years ago, Mr.. Web
ster appeared as counsel for the appellant.
Mrs. Greenough, wife of Wm. Greenough,
tall, straight, queenly looking woman, Of
great self possession and decision Of char
acter, was called to the stand as witness
on the opposite side from Mr.. Webste.
Webster, at glance, had the sagacity to
foresee that her testimony, if it contained
anything of Importance, would have great
weight with the court and jury. He there
fore resolved, if possible, to break her up
and when she answered to the question put
TO her, s. believe D-Webster roared out
We don't want to hear what you be-
lieye, We want to hear what You know"
Mrs. Greenongh replied, j" That is just
what was going to say, sir,' and went on
with her testimony and notwithstanding
his repeated efforts to diseoncert her, kept
the even tenor of her way, until Webster,
becoming quite fearful of the result, rose,
apparently in great agitation, and drawing
out his great snuff box, thrust his thun b
and finger TO the bottom and carrying the
big pinch to 10th his nostlis, drew it up
with a gusto; and extracting from his
pocket very large handkerchief, which
flowed to his feet as he brought it to front.
he blowed his nose, which rang distinct and
loud through the crowded hall.
Webster" Mrs. Greenough, was Mrs.
| Boggen neat woman!"
Il cannot give you very full information
as to that, sir; she had one very dirty trick"
What's that, ma am =
"She took snuff"
| The roar of the court house was such
that the future defender of the Constitution
subsidized, and neither rose or spoke again
until after Mrs. Greenongh had vacated
her chair to another witness--having am
l'le time TO reflect upon the inglori0us his
tory of the man who had stone thrown
on his head by woman.

JOSEPH LANE AT HoME.--A letter
from Oregon says -" Gen. Joseph Lar q
met with very cool reception in Oregon.
The drayman refused to haul his luggage
to the hotel. A man in Gen. Lanes pres
ence said TO the drayman, Don't be fool
ish and keep the general standing out in the
cold; his money is as good as any other
mans Cit was early in the morning, and
this drayman was the only one there at the
time.) The drayman replied with an oath,
that the general went out to stand,' and
now, he said, he may stand out till -
freezes over, before / win ever carry lis
luggage At Day ton, as the general cross
ed the river. he said to the farryman that
he supposed he was the worst abused man
in Oregon. : don't believe that said the
ferryrnan, who did no, know Mr. Lane. .un-
less you are Jo Lane himself At Dallas,
farther up the valley, he was hung in effiry
right before his hotel door"

UseFuL MAxiMs.--Be very deliberate
in the choice of friend.
Big heads often belong to big fools.
The brave never know it.
Sorrows are the shadows of past joys.
Many climb up only to fall down.
Misery reaps the harvest Of vice.
Fixed stars shine with steady lustre.
Always look up--God looks down.
When you despair OF good beware OF
evil.
A pea is as big as a mountain to blind
man.
a near lantern is better than distant
star
While the sunshines candles are despiscd
When clans cape, crows shut their
mouths.
Wherever fire has been you will find
ashes.
The brightest dreams awaken to tho
darkest realities.
Hope may bud under clouds, but il blows
only in sunshine. s5s.tst...r
Some men may judge of others by feel s'
ing OF themselves.
Thunder threatens, but never strikes the
bolt comes from a silent scource.
Alter you lose your head you will not
care What becomes of your body.
When We think OF good angels are silent
when we do il, they rejoice.
He who falls twice on the same spot Is
weak in his head as well as his heels.
Quarrel with dead men and you won't
get hurt.
Fortune may find a pot, but your own
industry must make it boil
lou must tell some men n great deal 10 f
learn them little.
One often meets dead men in their walks
GHOSTS of their former selves.
When you do not know what to do, do
nothing. ~
When you lose friend, take heed that
you do not lose your affection also.
Do with trials as men do with new hats
put them on and wear them till they become
easy.
In civility, follow the many; in piety.
the few; in all things. the good.
Let another's passion be lecture TO thy
reason.
Never insult misery, deride infirmity, nor
despise deiormity.
| Look not upon sin, lest it tempt thee
taste it not, lest it wound thee touch it not
lest it kin thee.
| If you would be wise, learn justly to cs-
innate heaven and earth, the soul and the
| body, time and eternity.
10 do justly, love mercy, and walk hum
bly, with God; to be diligent in business,
fervent in spirit, serving the Lord to be
afraid of little sin. thankful for little
duty, are nine excellent properties Of true
piety.

ScoLpING.-If laughter begets fat, it ia
no less true that scolding is the mother Of
meagerness. Who ever saw plump ter
migant? The virago is scraggy-scraggi-
ness is the badge of all her tribe. 1t would
seem that the attrition OF fierce, exacting
temper gives sharpness TO the human frame
as inevitably as gritty grindstone puts q
wiry edge on broadaxe. Artists UNDER
stand this fact, and govern themselves ae-
cordingly. They invariably represent la
dies supposed to be given to ''tke rampage"
as remarkably high in the bore. Shrews
are thus depicted in comic valentines, and
all the illustrators of "Curtaip Lectures"
have represented the 'sriba of Mr.. Caudle
without a particle of fat. Lasater, refer-
ing TO female fire-brands, says fatty to their
faces. that their noses are sharp.

AIR AND WArrR.-Set pitcher of wa
ter in room, and in few hours it will
have absorbed nearly all the respired and
perspired gases in The room, the air OF which
viii have become purer. but the water is
utterly filthy. The colder the water is. the
greater its capacity TO contain these gasses.
At ordinary temperature a pint OF water
will contain pint of carbonic acid gas, and
several pints of amonia. Their capacity is
nearly doubled by reducing the water TO
the temperature Of ice. Hence, water kept
in the room for while is always unfit for
use. Fer the same reason, the water in a
pump stock should always be pumped out
in the morning before any is used. In
pure water is more injurious than impure
air.
