There is large settlement of Qua
kers In the vicinity of Salem, Iowa.
For years many of these Quakers have
preserved copies of what Is knowl as
"a true account of J oseph Hoag, Sr. IS
vision" This individual was nuns
bered with the dead years ago, but
his memory still lives. Joseph Hoag's
vision occurred in the South. He
afterwards moved to Iowa. The Qua
kers, we are informed, have great
faith in the prophecy. The copy from
which the following was obtained was
written over thirty years ago. There
is yet to be fulfilled the monarchical
government, founded on religion, and
the after events.
In the year 1903, probably IN the
eight or ninth month, I was one day
alone in the field and I observed the
sun shown clear, but a mist eclipsed
the brightness of it shining. AS [ re-
fected on the siHgularity of the event
my mind was clothed with silence,
the most solemn l ever remember to
have witnessed, for all my faculties
were laid low and unusually brought
into sileRce, l said to myself, what
can all this mean? [ do not remem-
Der ever to have been sensible of such
feelings. And heard
A VOICE FROM HEAVEN
saying, "This that thou seest that
dims the brightness of the sun is a
sign Of the present and coming time.
[ took the fathers Of this country from
the land Of oppression. I planted
them here among forests. [ blessed
them and sustained them, and while
they were humble I fed them and they
became a numerous people, but they

and protected them and are running
into every abomination and evil prac-
tice of which the old country was
guilty Of and taking quietude from
the land and have suffered a dividing
spirit to come among them. Lift up
thine eyes and behold them" and I
saw them dividing IN great haste.
This division began IL the church on
poiRts of doctrine. 1t commenced ia
the Presbyterian society and went
through the various religious denom-
nations and it's progress and close
were nearly the same. Those who
dissented went off with high heads
and haunting language, and thos4 who
kept original sentiments appeared ex-
ercised and sorreWful; and when the
dividing spirit entered
THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS,
it ragged in as high degrees as IN any
I have before discovered and as before
those who separated went with lofty
looks and haunting censuring Ian
guage. Those who kept ancient prin-
ciples retired by themselves. 1t next

Masons and set the country in an up
roar for a length of time. Then II
entered politics throughout the United
States and it did not stop until it pro-
duced a civil war and abundance of

A PERSIAN SONG.

All. sad as they who know not love,
But far from passions tears and smiles
Drift down q moonless sea, beyond
The silvery coast of fairy isles.
And sadder they whose longing lips
Kiss empty air, and never touch
The dear, warm mouth of those they love;
Waiting, wasting, suffering much.
But clear as amber, fine as musk,
Is life to those who, Pilgrim wise,
Move hand in hand from dawn TO dusk
Each morEing nearer Paradise.
Oh, not for them shall angels pray!
They stand in everlasting light;
They walk ia Allah's smiles by day,
And nestle in his heart by night.

The changes that had occurred during the

were done in 1885 were now done in very diff
ferent and much easier ways. The people of
the present day built in a single year what
the people 100 years ago could not have built
in n quarter of a century. The wonders now
so readily performed by steam and electricity
were not even dreamed of by the wisest men

entire faculties of Columbia, Harvard and

and women of the present knew more and
possessed more comforts than did their ances-
tors of 100 years ago. The question might be
asked, "Well. with all this progress is man
kind growing better ?" The speaker be-
lieved that the world was constantly grow ing
better, purer, sweeter and brighter. One
