deep( r by the artilSh ntury I'l tlw child, who
said that tlii angel told her she would die
just two months from the lilac she lit st saw
it, at precisely twelve o'clock 'and twenty
fire nu nines ; that she would he three

that of others 3that her fiends would sup
pose her to be, in a trance ; that her eyes
would not be closed ; that her funeral ser
mon would be preached ul three weeks af
ter in the new school house of the in ighbor
. 'hood, by a man whom, with his horse and
buggy, she described, and that her friends
would have.dilllculty in 'mot:tiring the house
for the occasion." The mother kept the
sad secret to bet self, and waited fur the ap
pointed time, hoping that all might yet go
well with her and hers, and not caring to be
dreekeueil &a one who would attempt to re
vive the defunct doctrAe of spiritualism. -
But with the time Call . le the terriblei blow.
Three days before the time predicted for
depth, the little girl fell upon the floor, I
friii lr ichence she was taken to bed, and at
the hour and minute foretold, on the third
day breathed her last. Her eyes remained
open after death, and could net be closed.
Friends, supposing her to be entranced,
made vain eflbrts to restore 'her to life. A
few days after`her burial, Rev. 11. I'. parst
was passing that way, a friend of Mrs.
Charles, required-tit) to tarry aw.hilo and ;
preach the little funeral sermon. The
reverend gentleman excused lIIMSeIf on the
ground of having 'pX'Or engagements, but
promised to do so in ft shout (line. Ills per- ,
son and, equipments corresponded in the
most minute particulars with the prophetic
detreription, and when he did return to re
deem his promise, the workmen who had
built the new seheinchduse, having a hen up
on it, refused to let it he opened fiir the fu
neral service ; but subsequently they gave
up the key, and The sermon was preached
at the exact limo pmedicted.
The 'bereaved mother intended that the
knowledge of these prophecies and their Nl
fitments should go out 'OttiMe With her, but
recently, the secrecy hearing more. crushing
ly upon her, ;,he determined to reveal the
whole matter, mill in accordance with this

This Hobbs made serong_professioni of
religion ; always wore a sanctimonious ex
presin of countenance, and looked for all
the world like a dear, innocent, good, easy'
soul —in short, " love of a man." Indeed,
on several occasions we have heard him'
make long prayers, in Which the rascality
ana degeneracy of this world seemed to
cause him a vast deal of regret. The vil
lain and hypocrite haie been acted by him
to perfection. Ile has most eventually

Nu won, by, his christias deportunhit and
otlyidninners, the confidence of st,n4mber of
our citizens, who would be very glad to...see
Hobbs at the present time. They would,
no doubt, cheerfully furnish him with a
" boarding house," situated in Op eastern
part. of the city, but he wouldn't have the
privilege of acting as keeper. Our good
friends at Millersville should he .careful that
no more multi characters be appointed pur
veyers for the students connected wall the
Normal School. And itwould not dm's ball
idea if some of our churches were to inquire
into tha matter and see whether any such
" wolves in sheep's clothing" aro connected
with their flocks. The cause of true Chris
