REMARKABLE LATTER DAY PROPHECY. 
How delighted I am that 
“Dear, dear Richard! 
you have come at last!” 
I was dumb. My in or 
sweetness of her kisses, 
should dissolve the spell 
“We have been expecting you for four whole 
days. Only think what a period of suspense!" 
went on the soft voico of the lady, us, clasping my 
hand, she drew rne unresistingly to a phaeton in 
waiting. There, make yourself easy. I'm going to 
drive. Isn’t it pleasant to be waited on. Richard 1 ;” 
The arch brown eyes sought mine, as, drawing up 
the fur-lined robes, my companion shook the reins 
over the White horses, and we were whirled rapidly 
away. 
Papa is so anxious to seg you once more, Rich¬ 
ard; but his rheumatism is worse to-day, and he 
could not drive down. William is absent on an 
errand for the bride. But. I would come. I wanted 
so much to be the first one to greet you, dear Rich¬ 
ard. Alice is so beautiful! and so deeply, beauti¬ 
fully happy! Richard, you ought to he the most 
grateful man alive!” 
“I — I — believe I am!” exclaimed I, as reaching 
up her sweet face, the little enchantress favored me 
with another kiss, which, this time, I repaid, with 
compound interest, and then blushed boiling hot to 
think of it. 
At this moment the phaeton stopped at the door 
of a fine old mansion on an aristocratic street; and, 
mechanically, I alighted and lifted out my com¬ 
panion. The hall door was fluDg open. The clasp¬ 
ing hand of the young lady drew me within the 
vestibule; her musical voice called softly at the 
door ol a boudoir , 
“ Alice, Richard has come!” 
Instantly the door flew open, and a dark-haired, 
beautiful woman came forth. She gazed at me an 
instant with unutterable tenderness, and then em¬ 
braced me, with a mingling of fervor and shyness 
absolutely bewildering. Verily, I was a favored 
individual. An elderly gentleman, supporting him¬ 
self by a cane, now came forward and saluted me. 
calling me his “ dear sou.” aud cutting short every¬ 
thing I attempted to say by bis joyful volubility. 
The folding-doors separating the sil ting-room and 
pavlors were thrown apart, I heard the subdued 
hum of voices, the rustling of heavy silks, and. 
waiting in the alcoved arch in an east window, T 
saw a clergyman in gown and bands. The elderly 
gentleman took the hand of the dark-haired Alice 
and placed it in mine. 
“Take her, 11 he said, with emotion, “and may 
God prosper you. We will have the most impor¬ 
tant thing first, and dinner afterward. The guests 
are already getting impatient.” 
I glanced at Alice’s dress. It was bridal white; 
and her beautiful hair was crowned with a wreath 
of orange blossoms. The sight gave me a tremor. 
I felt weak anti faint. My pallor must have alarmed 
Alice, for she clutched tny arm wildly, and gazed 
into my face with painful anxiety. 
“What is it, Richard? Are you ill? Merciful 
heaven! Helen, look at him! He is ill!” 
“It is nothing—uothing!” 1 gasped. “Only, I 
cannot marry you! 1 — ” 
“Oh, heaven!” cried Alice, in horrified dismay; 
and seeing she was about to fall, I flung my arm 
around her for support. At this moment the hall 
door was opened, and, turning at the sound, I saw. 
with my own eyes, my second self enter the room! 
My exact counterpart Richard Smith, number two. 
His fierce eyes took in the scene at one swooping 
glance. He rushed toward me with a wild ejacula¬ 
tion, ami, tearing the half-fainting Alice from my 
arms, he planted his firm grasp on my throat. I 
put my hand on the same locality of his body. 
“ What are you doing?” he thundered in my ear. 
“What are you doing?” I thundered, in response. 
“Your life shall pay the forfeit!” he exclaimed, 
with mad violence. “ The man who has dared to 
win Alice Hereford’s love shall diel” 
“ Gentlemen,” interrupted the sweet voice of her 
whom they called Helen, “be patient; there is 
some mistake. Which of you is named Richard 
OUR BOYS GOING TO THE WAR 
QVbucrtiricmcnts 
The Philadelphia Press publishes the vision, or 
prophecy, of Joseph Hoag, and states that it is so 
remarkable in the accuracy of some of its details, 
that were ils authenticity not attested by the most 
respectable and reliable living witnesses, we should 
hardly credit it. The predicted “ civil war,” now 
on the threshold of fulfillment, is not more singular 
than are several other features in the vision which 
have been verified. As much as six months ago, a 
Quaker gentleman in Ihis city, well acquainted with 
the history of this “vision,” also with some of the 
children of Us venerated author, expressed to us a 
desire to see it published in the Press. We have 
been at some pains to ascertain certain particulars 
respecting this remarkable man, some of which we 
here give as introductory to his prophecy, 
Joseph Hoag was an eminent minister of the Gos¬ 
pel in the Society of Friends, At the date of his 
subjoined vision, in JSOS, this society was a unit, the 
division in it not having occurred until 1R27. After 
the separation, Hoag affiliated with the orthodox 
branch, in which connection he continued until his 
death in 1846, at the age of eighty-five. His ances¬ 
tors were among the early settlers of New England, 
and lived for several generations in the State of New 
Hampshire, although be was born in Duchess Co., 
N. Y., but early in life removed to the home of his 
ancestors. In his services as a minister he traveled 
extensively throughout the United States, and is 
well remembered by a large number of the elder 
members of the Society of Friends in this city as a 
very gifted and spiritual-minded minister. Those 
who knew him best say that he was a man of great 
piety and very correct life and conversation from 
his youth; also, that his spiritual perceptions were 
very deep and clear, so much so that he was often 
favored with a sense of the condition of other people 
without outward knowledge, and in many instances, 
known to persons still living,foretold circumstances 
which occurred long afterwards, and of which he 
could have had no knowledge when he predicted 
them. A journal of his life exists, in which the 
author says, “ Hoag was a man of good understand¬ 
ing. retentive memory, and a mind seasoned with 
grace. His conversation was truly instructive. He 
appeared most conspicuous in the gift of the minis¬ 
try, and the spirit, ol' prophecy.” The following is 
JOSEPH HOAG’S VISION, 
transcribed by his daughter—who is Btill living—in 
the year 1805, since which time many duplicate MS 
copies have been made and preserved by members 
of the Society as a curious, interesting, and, as the 
sequel has shown, an amazingly premonitory docu¬ 
ment : 
“ In the year 1803, in the eighth or ninth month. I 
was one day alone in the field, and observed that 
the sun shone clear, but a mist eclipsed its bright¬ 
ness. 
“ As I reflected upon the singularity of the event, 
my mind was struck into a silence the most solemn 
1 ever remember to have witnessed, for all my 
faculties were low and unusually brought into deep 
silence. 1 said to myself, what can all this mean? I 
do not recollect ever before to have been sensible of 
such feelings. 
“Aud I heard a voice from Heaven, saying:—‘This 
which thou seest is a sign of the present coming 
times. I took the forefathers of this country from a 
land ol oppression; I planted them here among the 
people of the forest; I sustained them, and while 
they were humble I blessed them and fed them, and 
they became a numerous people. But they have 
now become proud and have forgotten me, who 
nourished them and protected them in the wilder¬ 
ness, and are running into every ambition and evil 
practice of which the old countries are guilty, and 
have taken quietude from the land, and suffered a 
dividing spirit to come among (hero —lift up thine 
eyes and behold!’ And 1 saw them dividing in great 
heat. The division began in the churches on points 
of doctrine, it commenced in the Presbyterian 
Society, and went through the various religious de¬ 
nominations. and in its progress and close its effects 
were the same. Those who dissented went off with 
high heads and taunting language, and those who 
kept to their original sentiments appeared exercised 
and sorrowful, And when the dividing spirit en¬ 
tered the Society of Friends, it raged in as high 
degree as m any 1 had noticed or before discovered, 
and as before, those who separated v r ent, off with 
lofty looks and taunting, censuring language. Those 
who kept their ancient principles retired by them¬ 
selves. It next appeared in the Lodges of the Free 
Masons; it broke out in appearance like a volcano, 
inasmuch as it set the country in an uproar lor a 
time. 
“ Then it entered polities throughout the United 
Mates, anil did not stop until il produced a civil war. 
An abundance of blood was shed in the course of 
the combat; the Southern States lost their power, 
and Slavery was annihilated from their borders. 
Then a monarchial power sprang up, took the Gov¬ 
ernment of t he States, established a national re¬ 
ligion. and made all societies tributary to support 
its expenses. I saw them take property from 
Friends. I was amazed at beholding all this, and I 
heard a voice proclaiming:—‘ This power shall not 
always stand, but with it I will chastise my Church 
until they return to the faithfulness of their fore- 
lathers; them seest what is coining upon thy native 
country, for their iniquities and the blood of Africa, 
the remembrance of which lias come up before me.’ 
“ This vision is yet for many days. I had ho idea 
of writing it for many years, until it became such a 
burden that lor my own relief I have written it.”

As down the red October liills 
The swollen torrents leap their rills, 
Past broken flumes mid waiting mills, 
With rushing noise, 
So, hand to hand, with parting thrills, 
Sweep forth our boys. 
Not fierce to hate but strong to dare, 
They hunt the traitor in his lair;— 
The loneliest cot has one to spare 
From homes sweet joys; 
The fondest heart still breathes the prayer, 
God speed our boys! 
No hireling from Oppression's hold, 
No lawless mob in rapine bold. 
No patriot oast in Freedom’s mold 
With base alloys; 
Fresh from the mint, earth’s finest gold, 
Our sterling boys' 
What hopes, what faith engird them round, 
What songs of cheer to heaven resound, 
What prayers that peace may yet abound, 
Each heart employs; 
While tears fall on the hollowed ground 
Where sleep our boys. 
One thought, one prayer to Him all-wise, 
At morn aud evening sacrifice, 
Till Freedom, Btooping from the skies, 
Her wings shall poise, 
And one victorious anthem rise, 
God bless our boys! 
The Richmond Whig calls Jeff. Davis “a clod.” 
A clod should be something above Jeff. 
It seems that Jeff. Davis' coachman has run away 
from him. Well, Gen. McClellan can drive him. 
At Manassas we taught the rebels how to run, 
and they have been practising the lesson ever since. 
The rebels are the opposite of Achilles. His 
danger was in his heels. Their whole safety is in 
theirs. 
The flowers that bloom most abundantly in the 
Southern Confederacy at this time are the “pinks of 
chivalry.” 
Although General Wool entered Norfolk with 
Mayor Lamb, it is not to lie presumed that he was 
, Lamb’s Wool. 
Now that the Merrimac is destroyed, the rebel 
navy is reduced to one steamer, the Nashville, and 
one tug. the “tug of war.” 
Gen. Beauregard says that the confidence of 
the rebels is in God. But don’t they begin to sus¬ 
pect that, their confidence isn't reciprocated? 
Jeff. Davis has appointed a fast day. If fast 
days are days when fast runs are made, the rebpl 
Confederacy has more of them than any other people 
ever had. 
We don’t know or believe that the rebel leaders 
will ever become Christians, hut we guess that a 
pood many of them will be “under conviction” 
before long. 
The rebel Confederacy has enacted free trade. 
It is like a spider in a corked and sealed bottle, gen¬ 
erously declaring unrestricted intercourse with the 
whole world. 
The Confederate papers are longing for “ Yellow 
Jack” as an ally to rebellion against the Federal 
troops. Does the Confederacy intend to send Com¬ 
missioners to negotiate? 
The rebels profess to gather fresh hopes from 
their awful defeats. If their Confederacy were to 
die to-morrow, they would swear that death is the 
very healthiest condition possible. 
The rebel Confederacy may hate bitterly to sub¬ 
mit to the Constitution, but she must do it. The 
pill, however bitter, must, go down her throat and 
do its work—it has engaged its passage. 
An account of the Pittsburg battle says that the 
Mississippi brigade “dashed like a fierce wave upon 
our left wing.” That brigade may have been a big 
wave, but its subsequent motion was a big waver.

A quiet, uneventful life was mine until I left the 
shelter of my father’s roof in Gorham, and accepted 
the desk of book-keeper in the wholesale clothing 
establishment of Shears and Prescott, in the busy 
little city of Weston. But there, one tine afternoon 
in October, just in the midst of IndiaD summer, I 
invited Lillie Prescott, with whom I was very 
nearly in love, to walk in the park with me. Her 
little hand, in its delicate primrose-colored glove, 
rested on my arm, her black eyes were lifted to my 
face. I felt particularly tender and confidential, 
and at peace with all the world. We were speaking 
of the gorgeonsuess of the distant hills, clothed as 
they were in their mantles of crimson foliage, when 
I was brought to a stop by hearing my name pro¬ 
nounced in a tone neither sweet nor agreeable. 
“ Mr. Smith, I’ll just trouble you to stop a roiunit!” 
I looked up. A woman of fifty or thereabout 
effectually blocked up the sidewalk before ns; 
indeed, her proportions were colossal. If ever 1 
have seen the personification of indignation, I saw 
it in her expressive countenance. 
“Madam!” I exclaimed, retreating a little from 
the battery of flashing eyes which she brought to 
bear upon me. 
“You needn’t madam me,” cried she, waxing 
redder. “I’ll just trouble you to settle this little 
bill.” And she thrust an ominous piece of paper 
before my eyes, which read, substantially:

I returned the bill to her. 
“ I owe you nothing, madam. I never saw you 
before in my life.” 
“You needn’t lie to me!” cried she, setting her 
arms a-kimbo. “ I hain't kept a genteel boarding¬ 
house fifteen years for nothing, sir! You’ll either 
fork over on the spot, or I’ll take the law!” 
“ Take it,” remarked I; “you’re welcome to it!” 
“You think to sarse me, young manl Remember 
what, you promised! I’ll have you took up for it as 
shure as my name’s Diggins! PH larn you better 
than to deceive a trusting widder woman in that 
way, you desateful hypocrite!” 
“ Madam, you insult me! I — ” 
“Oh! it looks well for such aR you to stand on 
your dignity! Mighty lofty, all at once! You’ve 
forgot the oream flapjacks I used to make you, and 
the kisses you used to give me every evening after 
the rest of ’em was gone to bed! You’ve forgot the 
half-dozen shirts I made you, and never charged 
you a cent! You’ve forgot that you solemnly prom¬ 
ised that you'd marry me last Tuesday morning! 
You've forgot that, have yon?” 
“Yes —yes—I never!—no!” stammered I, drop¬ 
ping Miss Lillie’s arm in consternation. 
“ Do you dare to deny it?” cried she in a rage. 
“Yes; forever and a day afterward!” I roared 
out. “ Do yon think I would marry an old terma¬ 
gant like you? I’d sooner wed my grandmother!” 
1 saw ihe fire flash up in her eyes. The widow 
was waxing dangerous. I dodged the reticule she 
aimed at my head, aud fell over backward as she. 
charged upon me with her half-mourning parasol. 
Miss Lillie turned and fled. I thought discretion 
the better part of valor, so 1 leaped over a garden 
fence near at band, and was immediately attacked 
by a large watch dog that sprung out of a kennel 
near by. I seized a dahlia pole, and, hurling it at 
the belligerent, made good my escape by fording a 
duck pond and reaching the next street, from which 
I hurried home at the best pace I could command. 
I was resolved that I would not remain in Weston 
a day longer. Evidently there was in the city some 
other Richard Smith, for whose notorious self I was 
mistaken. I penned a hasty note lo my employers— 
giving my reasons for leaving them —packed my 
trunkR, paid my board, and, marking my baggage 
“ Richard Smith, New Hampton,” I entered the cars 
for the locality specified on my trunks. In selecting 
New Hampton as my destination, I had no definite 
purpose in view; but in a place of its size 1 had no 
doubt of being able to secure some lucrative situa¬ 
tion, and the office of “ Boots” was better, if I could 
be left unmolested, than the station of President, if 
I must lose my identity, and be attacked by viragos 
in the streets. 
It was near noon of the next day when the train 
whirled up to the depot at New Hampton. I 
alighted, and was hastening down the platform to 
look after iuy baggage, when I saw a young lady, 
in a brown silk walking-dress, earnestly regarding 
me. As she caught my eye. she threw up her vail 
and sprang toward me. As the vail swept back, it 
revealed the loveliest face I had ever looked upon. 
I had never dreamed of anything half so beautiful. 
In involuntary admiration I stood still. She threw 
herself into my arms —her arms fell around my 
neck — her velvet cheek touched mine —and such 
a kiss as she planted full on my lips. My face was 
in a blaze. I felt as if I had been stewed in honey, 
with lavender for flavoring. She repeated the kiss— 
the munificent little angel!—exclaiming:

lies is contemptible. Slandering is devilish. Igno¬ 
rance is disgraceful, and laziness is shameful. 
Avoid all the above vices, and aim at usefulness. 
Never be ashamed of honest labor. Pride is a 
curse. Keep good company. 
Many men mistake the love for the practice of 
virtue, and are not so much good men as they are 
the friends of goodness.
