proceeded "YOu see, the way that the old man come to know this was, that God telld im-God knows every thing, and SC he tell'd him all what all his sons would come to. You see, the old man knew that he was come to die-he felt. somehow this point being explained, the preacher that he was come to die-(perhaps Goo tell'd him-I don't know in particulars does not seem to be set down but, some how, the old man, he knew that his time was come for him to die)-so, you see, ht sent for all his sons-for all his sons--al of 'em-some were out in the fields-some Tn barn-no matter-they all had to come and then he tell'd 'em every thing telPd lem every thing-an what they'c do You see God knows every thing-st he telpd the old man every thing-so ther the, old man tell'd them every thing-al what they'd do-in all their ives-and al what their children would do ;-for Goo knows every thing he tell'd the oit man every thing-every one thing T. SsaaeOn and Levi are bget1areas-but they had instruments of cruelty in their habita tions-the old man did not like 'em-C nay sOut, says he come aaOt thou into thei1 secret! that is, don't have any to de with 'em-for they were cruel men, you see-Sn theig anger they steaO n10'a and aaa their se!f-sOiU they digged dOaCr c qUUW
 "Well, then, the old man, he comes next 10 Judah and Judah seems to be 6 great favourite Thy hand shall be ir the neck of thine enemies thy fathers children shall bow down before thee. We'll, and so it happened, all what the old man tell'd 'em-all happened just as he tell'd 'em-he did not tell lem no lies-for God tell'd him every thing-and God did not tell the old man any lies-not any lies at all-it all happened, as you'll see-in- ln-in-well it's no matter-I can't find the places just now-Q could look 'em up)
 s''The sceptre shall not depart from Jn dah'-that is, you see, the old man tell'd Judah how he should be a king, and how all his children should be kings. You see sceptre's a-a thing that king always carries with him q never saw kings sceptre is kind of staff, you see-its made with several things q could look 'en up)-kivered all over with silver and gold q never saw sceptre). You see, youl great people, they carry different sorts ot things, to show what they are-so, you see, king he carries sceptre-like, as am told, president of college, q never saw president of college he carries g great staf-so, you see, they, all carry some one thing, some another-I don' know what they are-I could look 'em up
 'Jndah's a lions whelp-he stopped down, he couched as lion, and as an ole lion. You see, that means how Judah should be very great-you see, lions called the king of beasts-a lion-G never saw lion)-its great beast-I don't know in particular-I could look It up-grea teeth
 'Zebulun shall dwell at the haven o the sea- You see, Zebulun, he would be fond of 1eaUigation. The old man tell him he would-and he knew-God tell'6 him every thing. You see, different chil dren take different turn-one likes one thing, and another likes another So, you see, the old man, he tell'd Zebulun how he'd live near the sea-and how he'd have 8 great many ships-and he tell'd no lies.
 Coming at length to the close of the prophecies, the preacher dwelt little up on the death and burial of the patriarch The embalming, mentioned in the chapter that succeeds that from which he hae taken his text, occupied him for few min utes -Embalming is-you see they put -g great many things = gums grea1 many things-I don't know what they are just now-I could look 'em up.
 'sSo you see, God. he knows every thing he tel'd the old man every thing-there's nothing but what God knows-he knowed every thing about you, thousands of years before you were born. He knows every thing he knowed all what you'd do-he knows all what you are going to do-an6 all what you'll ever do. He knowed every thing-he knowed what lots of land you'c buy, and where you'd build your barns And now, my friends, what God th1s is He knows every thing. You may think that you can deceive him-and hide from him-but you can't deceive him-yor can't hide any thing from him-He knows every thing-he can tell you every thing So then, you see, there is no escaping from God! We must worship God-Tht only way to be happy is to worship God only way, to worship God, and keep thu sabbath nothing else maks man happy once knew a man-great man he was great deal of land-but he had nothing tc do with God-nothing to do with God lived without God in the world-neve minded the sabbath no, not he Well he had son died-his only son-sor grown up man-large family-and whe1 his son was dead, every body thought he't take on-take on, so as nothing was lik, it. But his sons death brought him tt God-he grew seri0us+-and when one O his friends asked him whether or no h, was not unhappy about losing his son-h, answered, that he was never so happy il all his life Tho, not in all his life land says he, If I had twelve sons, and wa sure that every ones dying would mak' make me as happy as my sons dying ha made me now-I should wish 'em-ever. one of the twelve-to die '"
