That tlie earth will finally be restored
to a state of happiness and peace, lias not
only been the belief of both Jews and
Christians, but it is the! doctrine of Inspi
ration itself.
As a type of that glorious era, the Jew
ish Israel inherited tlie law ot Canan,
widely in the days of Solomon, Itecome
the chief of nations and the praise ot all
lands.
fiiu wealth without charity brought
luxury, and luxury vice, and vice tyranny,
and tyranny ruin, until finally their na
tion was overthrown' and dismembered and
became two separate kingdoms —the one
of, two tribes composing the kingdon of
Judah, the other of ten tribes that of the
kingdom of Israel.-
The kingdom of J ud(ih lingered for a
few centuries and, for .their sins v became
tributary to the Roman monarchy, who
finally destroyed their government and
scattered their people among the nations of
the ehrth, where they still remain.
The kingdom of Israel continued for a
few generations, and tiir their iniquities
became the ,prey of th,e Assyrians, who
wasted their country, and carried 1 the
whole nation into captivity, where they
remained until the dreadful denunciation
of the Almighty was executed upon them,
as follows: “ Therefore the lord was an
gry with Israel and removed them out of
his sight, there Was hone left but the
tribe of Judah only.” Second Kings,
XVII: 18.

CHAPTER 11.
THE AMERICAN INDIANS THE ANCIENT
ISEAEUXES.
ALTOONA, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1864
thev entered info Euphrates by I he niu rmr
passages of the river. , For the Mom
High then shewed sign- lor tli-in.
and held still the flood, till thev were
passed over. For through that e-.unti-v
there was a great wav to go. namely. a
year and a halt ; and the region is railed
Assarelh.” Second Esdras. \lll : -in
to 45.
They left Assyria, and taking their course
by the fountains oi the Euphrates, when
they were stilled or frozen, thev passed the
narrow vales of Georgia. entered the coun
try now called Circassia, by the shorn- ol
the Caspian sea, crossed Astrachan and
passed the confines of Tartars, South o(
the Hural Mountains, by the sources ot
the'Ohi, to the mountains of the Alii,
then along the liases ot • that tremendous
range ot is-aks and deserts to lieerliings
Straits, and across to the great Assarelh
of Judah’s sea, the future America, and
the great fifth- kingdon in the prophecy ot
God
Thus for a yew and a 4alt did iti«- m*n
women and children, the last remnant <>t
Israel’s nation, journey trom the sunny
regions of Soui hern Asia, to the distant
wild“ of North America, by the highway
of the great ciiain ot the Alti Mountains,
fulfilling to a demonstration the pro
phetic declaration of the Creator that
“ There shall he a highway for the rem
nant of his (ample which shall he lett
from Assyria, like as it was to Judah in
the day that he came up out ol the land
of Egypt.” Isaiah. XI : 10.
The highwav of Israel, trom Assyria
to the land of Assafetli. was to he like
that trom Egypt to Canaan. I hey wen'
not only to pass through the wilderness,
but they were to pass Irom out* continent
to another helore they could enter the
promised hind ol final restoration.
Thus, within the solitudes ot the gn at
American desert. did the lost tribe.' ot
Israel .pitch their tents and improve the
count!y until the voice of labor, the roll
of advancement and the bum ot industry
went up trom cottage, town and city, un
til wealth and luxury poured their treasure
in the lap of a great'and populous empire,
that once throbgd with life and energy, on
tluf very soil where .vc arc now reposing.
But like all other nations, luxury
brought idleness, crime, and decay, until
they sunk in the gloom ot heathenism, and
finally into the darkest night ot barbar
ism that ever palled the world, and left
the whole continent one vast landscape ot
magnificent ruin.
Although crime and rebellion again*!
the laws of .Jehovah had every where
marked the character of the ten tribe*,
vet they failed hot to taltill every pro
phecy of God in relation to their fall
and their restoration. They were to set
up wav-marks, that their returning de
cendants might know the places ol the
cities in the country ol their ancestors,
the land of America, the restored Israel
of God. “Set thee up way-marks, make
thee, high heaps, set thy heart towards
the highway, e\en the way then
wentest. turn again. I) virgin of 1.-real,
turn again to these thy cities.’'
XXXI: 21.
To sec how this prophecy has been tid
tilled, we have only to look at the vast
mounds or heaps that are every where
scattered over the hills and plains ol
America, all pointing, not only to the res
toration of Israel, hut to the general res
toration ol mankind to the high and no-
ble destinj tor which they were created,
and for which the great 1\ eslern eonli
nent will lx- the seat of empire, for the
regin ol liberty, the diffusion ot knowledge
and the happiness of our race.
That the lost tribes of Israel eatue to
this continent more than two thousand
years ago, is everywhere evident. T hat
they built cities, cultivated the soil and
flourished in civilization, is just as evident,
and that they have become divided, bro
ken and scattered into tribes, tell into de
cay, and become wandering communities
of sdvages, that everywhere roamed tins
continent when discovered by Columbus,
cannot be doubted.
That the American Indians arc the de-
sendants of ancient Israel, needs but a re
hcraal of their manners and customs to es
tablish their ideality, or a view of their
antiquities to recognize their Jewish an
cestry
The. Jewish people adorned their per
sons with jewelry, rings, bracelets, ear
rings, chains of gold and precious stones.
So do the American Indians wear jewelry
in the same manner and form.
The armour of the Jewish warriors
was that of the long bow and arrow, the
same weapon that the Indian warriors
of America always used, until the in
troduction of fire-arms by the Euro
.peans.
The Jewish nation was divided into
tribes. So the great Indian nations of
America are everywhere divided into
tribes.
-The Jews worshipped but one God, the
Great Father, the Author and Owner of
the world. So the 'lndians, ol America
worship but one God, the Great Spirit
and Upholder’ot the universe.
The Israelites had the art of their cov
enant as the great talisman of their na-
•[ittDEJ'Ktibfifc TN EVKOTTHTOG.]
tiou. So the American Indians have
their ;o-k or satchel as a talisman in. every
trill .
The J-wis people worshipped the Crea
tor under the sacred name of lelmvah.
So the American Indians worship Him
under iln- awful name of Vehovah, the
Inn : ame ol the Almighty;.
Tin- Jewish nation had their see.rs and
prop)e-i~. So have the Indians of America
a prophet in almost every trihe.
The Israelites ottered burnt incense as
a pail ol their devotion. So also do
tin- .Vnn-iiean Indians otter Inirnt incense
as a part ot their worship.
The Jewish people, in praising the
Creator, use ihe word halieluia. So the
Indians ol America, in praising the Great
Spirit, ns.- the word Alleluia, which is
the true word of praise. ’
The Jews had their sanhedrin, or (he
great eunneil. So have the American
Indian- their great council in every tribe.
Tm -elites counted their seasons
leasts. Occ.. hv moons. So d« the American
Indians count their seasons feasts. &c.. hv
moons.
The Jewish people had their sacred
squares in their great cities. So the In
dians ol America have their sacred
squares in almost fcvery town.
The dews had their cities of refuge to
which the escaping fugitive might fly for
safely. !So the American Indians h*tve
their towns of ivinge. for the escaping
culprit yj’ the fcarlul gauntlet.
The Israelites practised circumcision.
So docs a number of the tribes ol the
Amerii-ap Indians.
Thus might we continue to lengthen
out the proofs of the similarity existing
between tile Jews of Asia and fin* Indians
of America, especially if we were to
enter tin* held of American antiquities,
where the evidence would still he more
conclusive lli.ii the Aborigines of America
are the descendants ol Israel’s lost tribes,
and arc now being restored according to
tin* promise ol Divine Revelation.
Tlu- rude Mausoleums the fallen IVop
ylons. the huge -Tumuli, and the vast
cities that have fur age# tilh-d out 1 conti
nent with the splendor- of their ruins, are
everywhere telling (he story ol the de
parted, aud revealing the history of the
dead and honed nation, so long lost in
the notice of human revolutions, an!
demonstration that the un
turned kingdom was none other than the
descendants ol 1-rael. and ale now being
restored.
shows to
Among all tbe relics of Assaretb's de
purled grandeur, 1 will name but a single
fact t<> prove the identity of its israeliiisl
ancestry.
1 here was taken from Indian Hill, in
the slate of Vermont, in the year 181.1. a
small box, or case, made of some durable
metarial, and gumed over until it was as
hard us bone. On being broken open, it
was found to contain three or four pieces
of parchment, on which was written, in
plain Hebrew, a number ot important
texts, the must saertd portion ol their di
vine law, which had doubtless been written
previous to the arrival of the ten tribes in
America, more than twenty-live hundred
years ago. and borne down tbe roll ol cen
turies until the barbarian descendants ol
Israel's proud tribes no longer understood
the meaning of their true talisman, and it
was Anally buried with some lamed chief
tain in Indian Hill.
. Thus, for more than two thousand years,
ha- Israel been east out of sight ot all
nations, in the wilds and wastes ot the
American continent, where they are now
being restored under tbe Gospel ol the
Saviour, and proves America to be the
restored Israel of God.
And as we are now in the time of the
! end of the last monarchy, at the end of
the twenty three hundred years, when the
1 Gospel is being preached to all nations,
' and the fullness of the Gen'iles corning in,
and the six thousand years expiring, it
i shows us that the great sabbath of rest is
approaching, when “ t/ie minis po.<st‘.<s
t/tf‘ kingdom," and the great fifth nation
ality. tbe American Israel, will be estab
lished, and civil and religious liberty em
brace the world.
A sailor wmuailled upon the stand
as a witness. “Well, sir,” said the law
yer, “do you know the plaintiff and defen
dant l " “ 1 don’t know the drift, ol them
words,” replied the sailor. “ What, not
know the meaning of plaintiff aud defen
dant continued the lawyer ;“a pretty
fellow to come here as a witness! Can
y(ju tell me where on board ship it was

DEACON THOENE’S fiISLOYALTY
Evening closed darkly around the old
irmhoiise on (he hillside, only a teint ot
ght where the western sky met the.earth
•lling ot' the glories of the vanished day.
Through the duskv gloom came the glim
mer of the lamp from the large kitchen,
where the family were gathered around the
cozv fireplace ; the deacon and his sops,
together with George Stanley, a young
neighbor, discussing politics Minnie, bis
daughter,-tl® rosiest and prettiest of the
villinsre girls, paring-apples quite contented
ly, while in the back ground Mrs. Thorne
sat knitting, her eyes fixed on the beautiful
forms which the emliers were assuming.
The deacon was getting exciter I. / His
eyes flashed, and he spoke in hasty, angry
tones.
liuii't talk to uie, sir! It is an unjust
war, a war cursed by man and by the Cre
ator. 'Hie institution of slavery, ordained
by Jehovah, 'Shall stand white time con
tinues Sooner than see my sons engaged
in it, t would lollow them to the grave.
Never, with my consent, shall ‘they enter
the ranks id .the. Union army." ' '
Oh, "lather t” Jamie Thorne raised
liis eves appealingly. For months this had
been the*grand dream of his existence.—
’ Twas noble, he thought, to suffer, and die,
if need be. for the liberty his forefathers
bequeathed to their sons to sustain. Tie
was young and impulsive, and the tears
rose to his eyes as he walked to the window
and stood looking out into the night.
No." resumed the deacon. “ my hoys
are not going lit l he .war. 1 have done all
in mv power to discourage enlistments,
and 1 shall continue to do so. The man
who doms the Federal uniform at such a
time and in such a cause, is no friend of
mine
" l am sorry, sir." George Stanley was
speaking now. "tor I feel it my duty to go.
.My grandsire fell in the war of the revolu
tion. and I should despise myself should
Ills descendants prove liencath hirn'in value
and patriotism. .1 could not stay idly :t■
Iminc and retain mv self respect. I shall
enlist, hut. 1 thought, sir. may he you’d
give me Minnie before 1 went, we have
been promised so long.'
The dcaeon answerd him sneerilVgl}' :
"So you, too. have caught the war fever.
1 gave von credit tor possessing more sense.
Mark no words. George .Stanley. Minnie
shall never he vours if you enter the army
never with uiy eppsent —and she dares
not draw mV curse upon her for disobeying
me. .V man wiio is dishonorable enough
to tight in such a cause, deserves nothing
hut contempt."

marks, father,” said David Thorne, in, a de
termined lode. “I believe love of country
seconded only to love for luir Maker. 1
would rather go with your consent, hut if
yon will not give it I must go without it.
.Jamie is too young for the hardships ol
camp life—he can stay with you on the
(arm, and I shall enlist with George. I
know that my presence is disagreeable to
you, now that 1 have come to this decision,
and I will not trouble you longer. Hood
bve mother, good bye Minnie.” and Davjd
Thorne was gone. ‘
The next (lay there vva- another change,
at Tile old tarm-house. Jamie had , disap
peared. All day long the deacon paced to
and tjro with clouded brow, and when at
night word' was, brought that ids pet sou
had enlisted, bis rage was too ,deep for
words.
“ Never mention their names again,” he
said to his wife and daughter. “Hence
forth they arg dead to us. I have no sons.”
The (lays passed quickly on until the
springtime scattered blossoms and fragrance
all over the land. Then came those - hours
of doubt and despair, which the, stricken
throughout the length and breadth of the
country haVe endured. They are ended
by a letter in Jamie s frank, boyish hand
“Dear mother,” —so it ran—“our reg
iment suffered severely in tbe late battle.
George and I escaped uninjured, but David
is dead. God help you, mother, I know
how you suffer.”
After this the "loom on the Deacorfs
face deepened, but he showed no ' signs of
relenting. •
Another year of prayerful sorrow and
patientwatching passed by. Then came
the raid into Pennsylvania —-the raid which
did Acre to rouse the latent spirit and pa
triotism of the north than winning many a
victory!
One evening a neighbor Came hurriedly
along the sandy road, and up the ; little
walk.
“ The rebels are coming, deacon," he
exclaimed. “They’re down at the south
Forks-—we have only time to escape."
‘• I think there will be no danger,” was
the cool reply. “At any rate I shall stay tar A lady teaching her little dangler,

" May such be the fate of allthe enemies
of slavery,” said he half aloud*
: Nearer and nearer they came.. Along
the dusty roads the shouts of the advanc
ii»*r column, the tramp of armed men. and
the crash of musketry were blended in
wildest confusion. Alone and unarmed he
advanced to meet them
“ You are welcome," said he. “I have
sympathized with you inyour struggle; I
am with .you'heart and soul. All I ask is
that my home shall Ik? unmolested.”
! “ impossible, sir,'* answered the leader
of the rebel column. “Our orders are to
destroy all that lies in’ourpath. It matters
not on which side you are, your buildings
most go to add to the bonfire which is
lighting the souls of the hellish Yankees
clown to perdition.”
Calmly the deacon stood by and saw the
torch applied to his bursting barns and
graneries, but a quiver of agony passed
over hi? countenance as he saw the old
home-stead, the borne of his fathers, con
signed to the devouring elements.
Fire, fire ! and thb old house, from its
ancient gables to its mossy sills burst forth
in a glare that lighted up the heavens for
miles around. It was red, and rose on the
billows of flame, then fell with a loud
crash, sending up into the nir-a million
fragments of lurid light.

Gettysburg! the name immortal in our
country’s annals 1 All day the fight had
raged fiercely, uncontrollably.
Among the thousands of brave men who
rushed forward to the rescue, none fought
more earnestly and determined than Jamie
Thome. George Manley was not in the
tight : the insitluouscamp lever had struck
him down in his strength, and in a distant
hospital he was struggling against death.
Fortune seemed to smile on the little
hero Jamie. His comrades foil around him
on every side, but he remained uninjured
until the close of the first day’s battle ; then
as our noble, exhausted troops, who for so
long had held double their number at bay
were compelled to-fall back, a ball struck
him and he tell.. When, a few days later,
his father who haddiasteded to him stood
by his side, Jamie extended his one hand,
saying:
Never mind, father, it’s all for the
country ; my other arm must do double
service; and now, father, will you give
Minnie to George*'’
Jamie rose from his easy chair, and laid
his hand on the Deacon’s shoulder. The
tall, pale soldier opposite, listened eagerly
for the reply
“ Forgive me, George, for the wild words
uttered in a moment ol'.madoeas,” he said
humbly. “I «m proud of yog, my boys
Whut David's death begun, the rebel raid
finished. It taught me how precious was
the Onion I had scorned. Minnie is yours,
George, she is worthy of you, As for me.
I have now a new object in life., 1 lie
country that 1 bet rayed needs my assistance.
As the only atonement I can make lor past
disloyal words, and deeds, I shall enlist.—
Can’t you bid me God speed?”
Of all the brave men who have devoteii
their lives to the object of crushing this
wicked rebellion, no one is more loyal or
daring than he who writes his name “ Pri
vate' Moses Thorne, aged Fifty.”
4«y- One evening a clergyman gave out
the hymn, which was in measure rather
harder than usual, and the deacon led olf.
llrother B—-will please repeat the hymn,
as I cannot pray after such singing.” The
deacon very composedly pitched into an
other tune, and the clergyman preceded
with his prayer. Having finished, he took
up the book to give the second hymn,
when he whc interrupted by the deacon
gravely getting up; add saying iu a voice
audible to the whole segregation i “ Will
Mr. C—please make another prayert It
would be impossible for me to sing after
such praying as that.”
