A REMARKABLE CASE.

A Kalamazoo, Mich, correspondent Of
Detroit Adrertiser, relates the following:
ga Mrs. Howland, who has long been
a resident of this county, and who has
been hopelessly insane for nearly thirty
years, was sent for by her husband in Cal.
ifOrnia. Accompanied by her daughter
;n-law, they left here and proceeded on
their journey by steamer. When out
about four days from New York a most
violent storm arose, which lasted three
days, seriously threatening the destruc-
tion of the steamer and all on board
When, however, the storm abated, what
was the surprise and delight of the daugh-
ter to find that the old lady had suddenly
recovered her mind and was perfectly
sane, though she was at loss to know how
she was in the place, and under the cir
cumstances she found herself on awaken
ing from such long sleep of the intel
lect facualties. On arriving at San Fran.

husband 10 meet her whom he had not
seen for nine years, and whom be deemed

The Salt Lake Telegraph is reported
as saying, that on two and-a-half acres
President Young raised last year 75O
bushels of peaches, 400 bushels of ap-
pies, p bushels of plums, 25 bushels
of strawberries, bushels of pears, 95
pounds of cherries, 1875 pounds of
grapes, and gooseberries raspberries,
and currants in multitude-The absurd
ity of this will be apparent when one
foots up the figures and finds, allowing
Sc pounds to the bushel for cherries and
grapes, that the product of these vari-
Gus fruits is very nearly 500 bushels
per acre, and more than 3! bushels to

My friends, let me draw a small par

allel between these cases.
The prodigal son went out-so did
the South-thus fairly the cases is alike.
The Prodigal didn't steal nothin.
The Confederacy took everything it
Good lay its hands on.
The Prodigal spent only what wuz
his to spend. The Confederacy spent
not only all it stole, but all it Good bor-
rer, when it knowd its promises to pay
wuzent wurth the mizable paper they
wuz printed onto.
The Prodigal when he did cum back,
come ez penitent ez the consciousness
that he he'd made fool NV hisself Good
make him. The Confederacy wuz
whipped back, but it still swears hetty
oaths that it wuz right all the time.
The Prodigal didn't demaad veal pot
pies and purple robes, and sich, but
begged to be servant unto the more
sensible brethren which stayed The
South comes back demaadn Office NV
which the fatted cali and rings and pur-
pie robes is typical, and considerably
more share in the government than it
had before it kicked over the traces and
went out like the lost tribes Of Israel.
Spozn the Bible prodigal had stopped
his parient and remarked to him thus:
Il am willing to come back on condi-
tiOns. Yoo must pay my debts-yoO
must give me an ekal share NV the farm
with the other boys-yoo must treat me
in all respects just ez if | hadn't gone
out, and-this is essentual-you must
take with me all the sharpers who ruined
me, all the gamblers and thieves with
whom l fell in while l wuz away, and
make them head men on the place, and
above all, hev with me two harlots
WITCH wuz the prime cause NV my ruin,
and they must hey eleven of the best
rooms in the house, and must be treated
ez your daughters. To avoid displeasin
the others I'll dress em in different
clothes, but here they must stay. 9th
erwise I'll 90 out again.
Probably the old gentleman would
hev become indignant, and wood hev
remarked to him to 90 and never let
him see his audacious face agin, or rath-
,er, lie would hev strangled the harlots,
scattered the black legs, and choked the

calf, and am also anxious to put on 700

into bloc kotes for the sojers we sent
out to fetch you-Jef''son Davis wore
the only style we hey in-the shoes they
wore out, and the rings. When you
come back in good shape yool find US
ready to meet you, but till then chaw
husks."
Lookln around, this armed tyrant re-
marked that there would be no more
preaching that day, and sadly the con-
gregation dispersed.

Whittier's Religious Views.

John G. Whittier, finding himself
published as authority for certain reli-

follows:
AMEsBURY, 7th, 9TH mo-, 1866.
To the Editor Of tile Friend:
In late number Of thy paper there is
a notice of a lecture by Henry Blan-
chard, which doubtless unintentiOnally
gives somewhat erroneous view of my
religious opinions. Painfully sensible
of my own moral infrmities and liabili-
ties to error, instinctively shrink from
assuming the office of teacher and guide
of others. | simply wish to say that my
ground of hope for myself and for hui
manity is in that Divine fullness of love
which was manifested in the life, teach
ings, and self-sacrifce Of Christ-the
Way the Truth, and the .Life-in the
infinite mercy of God so revealed, and
not in any work of merit Of our nature,
l reverently, humhly yet very hopefully
trust.
regard Christianity as life rather
than creed and in Judging Of my fel-
low-men can use no other standard than
that which our Lord and Master has
given us. "By their fruits ye shall
know them" The only orthodoxy that
l am specially interested in is that of life
and practice. On the awful and solemn
theme of human destiny l dare not dog
matize, but wait the unfolding Of the
great mystery in the firm faith that
whatever may be our particular allot-
ment, God will do the best that is posi-
BILE for us all. Thy friend.

Sadness.

There is q mysterious feeling that fire.
quently passes like cloud over the spir-
it. 1t comes upon the soul in the busy
hustle of life, in the social circle, in the
calm and silent retreat of solitude. Its
poweris alike supreme over the weak
and iron-hearted. At one time it is
caused by single thought across the
mind. Again a sound will be booming
across the ocean of memory, gloomy and
solemn as the death-knell, overshadow-
ing all the bright hopes and sunny feel
ings of the heart. Who can describe it,
and yet who has not felt its bewitching
influence? Still it is a delicious sort of
sorrow, and like cloud dimming the
sunshine of the river, although casting
momentary shade of gloom, it enhan-
ces the beauty of returning brightness
