VISION OF JOSEPH uoEG.
In the year 1902, perhaps on the sih Of
the ninth month, / was one day in the
field, and observed the sun shOne clear
but o mist eolipsed the brightness Of its
shining AS reflected on the singularity
Of the event my mind was clothed with
silenCe-the most solemn l remember to
have witnessed, for all my faculties were
laid low and unusually brought into
silence. said to myself, what can this
means did not remember ever before
to have been sensible OF such feelings
and l heard voice from heaven saying:
"This that thou seest, that dims the
brightness Of the sun, Is sign OF the
present and coming times. I took the
fathers of this country from the land Of
oppression; l planted them here among
forests; blessed them and sustained
them, and while they were humble fed
them, and they became a numerous peo.
pie. But they now have become proud
and lifted up and have forgotten Me, who
nourished and protected them in the
wilderness, and are running into every
abomination and evil practice Of which
the old country was guilty, and. taking
quietude from the land, have suffered o
dividing spirit to come among thOm.
"Liit up thine eyes and beholdI
And Isaw them dividing in great heat.
This division began in the church on
points Of doctrine. It commenced in the
Presbyterian .society and went through
the various religious denominations; and
It's progress and close were nearly the
same in each. Those who dissented went

gusge. And those who kept original sen.
timents appeared exercised and sorrow
full, and when the dividing spirit entered
the society Of Friends, it ragged in as high a
degree as anyI before discovered. Those
who separated went with lofty looks and
taunIing, censuring language. Those who
kept ancient principles retired by them
selves. 1t next appeared in the Lodges Of
Free Masonry, and set the country in an
uproar for length Of time. Then It en-.
tered politics throughout the United
States, and it did not stop till it produced
civil war, and abundance Of blood was
shed. In the course Of the combat the
Southern States lost their power, and
slavery was annihilated from their bor-
ders. Then a monarchical government
arose and established National religion,
and made oil societies tributaries to sup.
port Its expenses.
was amazed at this, and heard a
voice proclaimipg. "This power shall
not always stand. But with power will l
chastise my Church until they return 10
the faithIulness Of their loreiathers.
"Thou seest what Is coming on thy ma.
tive land for their iniquities aud the blood
Of Africa, the remembrance Of which has
come up before Me- This vision is yet for

Joseph Hoeg, no doubt, had meditated

cause to effect, he could, without extra
ordinary prescience, evolve oil the theories
embraced 10 his vision. AT that timc, as
since, the antagonisn Of the two systems

gave rise to fears Of war between the two
sections in the minds Of all thinkers; and

inevitably be, would educate tho people

conclusion that the North would prove

Notwithstanding the many prophecies

Those inclined to idle away the
precious days of life never succeed in
their willful determination of making
circumstances accommodate themselves
to their convenience. Young men wear
out their vitality prematurely in per-
sistlng to do what is wrong, with a sat
istied conviction they shall carry their
designs through successfully, although
oppressed by admoritions of conscience,
the circumstances of the dearest
friends, and the judgment of all who
know them. disappointment, disgrace,
and an abrupt conclusion of schemes,
invariably overtake them in their wild
career of dissipation. They practice
wrong-loing with the ardor of profess
sional men. Physically and morally
dissipating away life day by day in
sheer idleness, in debauchery, in the
commission of crime which the perpe-
TRAITOR supposes his cunning will hide
from the eyes of the world, is far more
laborious than regular employments
which the law protects and God APP
proves. Therefore, although vice is
practiced by thousands as a distinct
calling, those most celebrated in that
way die early, and society rejoices when
they go. Science is charitable in sup
posing their brains diseased.

The Ballot in England.

The English law makers are having
great trouble in arranging the details of
bill now pending in Parliament to es-
tablish voting by ballot The amend.
ments proposed to it are numerous,
and a good portion of one nights SEES
sion was devoted to discussing the oues-
ton whether violations of certain pro-
visions of the law should be considered
as telonies or only as misdemeanors.
One clause in the bill made it an Of
Tense punishable with three months
imprisonment for voter to willfully
exhibit his ballot so as to show for
whom he votes. An amendment was
offered to substitute for the word "will-
fully" the phrase "with corrupt in,
tent The amendment was stoutly re-
sisted, Mr.. Gladstone taking the posi-
ton that the principal object of the
Ballot bill is to secure secret voting, so
that voters cannot be inundated, and
that there can be no such thing as
optional secret voting. In order to
protect the voter, it was intended that
he should not be permitted to show his
ballot; otherwise his employer, for ex.
ample, might ask him to exhibit it, and
consider his refusal to show it as an
evidence that he was voting contrary
to his employers wishes. Hence the
insertion OF the clause which has been
so severely criticised.

Ouantrell in California.

Quantrell was a native of Missouri,
and previous to the outbreak of the
war took active part in the Kansas
troubles. When the war broke out he
espoused the cause Of the South as a
partisan ranger or guerrilla chief. His
name was q terror in Kansas and Mis-
souri,. His doings at last attracted the
attention of the Federal Government,
and he was declared an outlaw. Re-
ports of his death have been frequently
circulated, and as often contradicted.
There are several persons now residing
in this city who have often seen Guam
trell, and were personally acquainted with
him, and one of them, gentleman
whose reputation for truthiulness is I'M
Improbable, declares emphatically
that Quantrell was in this city ten days
ago. He further adds that their recog-
milton was mutual, and that they held

CRIMINAL SEcRECY.-The martinets of
the medical profession insist that it is
beneath the dignity of a regular physi-
clan to advertise. If a member of the
faculty should discover an absolute
remedy for any disease it would be a
breach of professional decorum to offer
the specific for sale through the jour
mails of the day. Scorning such preju-
dices one of our leading practitioners is
now making known to the public.

thousand newspapers, one of the most

GAR BITTERs, although comparatively a

attention of millionsin both hemispheres.
1t has been advertised through all the chan

Walker thinks that the "greatest good of

medical science, and hence he steps boldly
out of the contracted circle of professional
exclusiveness, and places his Great Restora-

A Truthful Romance.

A Boston woman, who had long been
given up for dead by all that were deal
to her, lately appeared, 1.-The ghost Of
her former self" to those who had
thought never TO see her again. She
told story of strange and horrible
suffering. More than score of years
ago she had sailed, young girl of Is,
with her missionary husband for "In-
dia's coral strand" The vessel was
wrecked on the Arabian coast and all
on board persisted save her husband
and herself. He was preserved only to
fall victim 20 Arab cruelty and she to
slavery. While her beauty lasted she
was the favorite wife of the most pow
erful chief in the South Arabian desert,
but when that waned she fell from her
"bad cminence," and was transferred
to the harem of an inferior sheik. And
so she lived, praying for death, but not
daring to die, till, banded from one
barbarian to another, she, Boston
lady in whose veins flowed the purest
Puritan blood, found herself the wi te
of an Arabian water carrier. From his
power an American traveller freed her
and provided her with the means to
reach home.

Fierce Attack by Shark on Sand
witch Islander.

The Honolulu Gazette of April gives
the following account of the narrow
escape of a native Sandwich Islander
from being devoured by shark
I'VE learn from Kawaibae that about
two weeks since native, Kaholo, was
attacked by shark while on his way
from the shore to the fishing ground in
the bay. The old man was going out in
small canoe, which, by his weight,
was depressed in the water SO that his
legs were but few inches above the
surface. He had just passed beyond
the reef and was padding along un-
aware OF any danger, when large and
hungry shark made break for him.
Inc jaws OF the rayenous fish closed
upon the mans thigh and the canoe,
making hldeous wound in the former,
some eleven inches long, and tearing
the flesh from the bone nearly half the
circumference of the thigh, leaving it
hanging down in threds as the teeth
drew away, and leaving in the wood of
the latter three or four teeth broken
OH; Inc man was nearly dragged out
OF his canoe, which at the same time
was almost swamped by the onset of the
fish, which, disappointed of it's prey,
Immediately disappeared. The old
man, though bleeding profusely from
several wounded arteries, was able to
get his canoe back to shore, thankful
for escaping with his life. We hear that
the wound is doing well, and that the
man is in fair way of recovering. The
teeth thst remained in the canoe were
two inches across the line where broken,
thus indicating shark of unusual size
as well as strength. The accident has
caused the natives of Kawaibae to re.
gard the placid waters of their bay as

An Eagle Attempts to Kidnap a Child.

Capake IN. " Correspondence New York Sun.
Jacob Decker, living near Rhoda
Lake, about two miles from this place,
has daughter about three years of age.
Yesterday afternoon, while she was play
ing in her yard, her shouts attracted
her mother Going out, Mrs. Decker
found a large eagle attempting to carry
Oft the little one. Almost frantic with
fright, she seized the child and rushed
towards the house. No sooner had she
caught the child than the eagle showed
fight. 1t followed Mrs. Decker, peck
ing savagely at the little girl, several
times touching her hair with its beak !;
but, by running rapidly and shielding
the child as best she could, she man
aged to reach the house in safety.
Enraged at being thus cheated of its
prey. the eagle flew against the door
and beat furiously against the windows,
as if determined to effect an entrance,
until Mrs Decker, fearing it might
break in, hid her child in closet for
greater security. Al nightfall the bi, d
flew away.
Ear,y this morning the eagle again
made its appearance. After flying
wildly around, it perched upon tree
hard by the house, apparently awaiting
an opportunity to renew the attack. AS
soon as she discovered the bird, Mrs
Decker notified the neighbors, and il
was shot. 1t proved to be a balc
American eagle, measuring seven fee
between the tips of its wings.

Preparing Cracked Wheat Wash plump
kernels of white wheat (if possible to
procure it) thoroughly dry the same
in the oven of your cooking stove so as
to heat the wheat without par ching it.
Here lies the great secret of having a
good article of cracked wheat. If e
wheat has been well heated and thor
oughly dried, you have but little trouble
to grind it in an ordinary coffee mill.
If it has been heated properly. the mill

MASKING them or tlattening them out.
| After grinding your wheat, either fine
or coarse, as you'may prefer, it l. ready

your vessel with the water to receive
the cracked wheat, inside, and stir in
moderately thin; stirring at first to keep
out the Jumps; cook at least one hour,
two is better. A very little experience
will determine the proper consistency,
and a most delightful and healthy dish
will reward you for your trouble. Serve
with milk, cream, sugar or syrup, as your
taste may dictate.

cleaned by washing them in washlng-so
