Mr. Parker's stable. Mr. Wright's
stable was joined to his residence on

To extinguish the fire in the outbuild

itself rapidly toward the dwelling

A TreatiBS on Witchss.
I have lately read in a Philadelphia
newspaper, that somewhere in the Mex
ican dominion that a certain man and
bis wife were burnt with fire, they hav
ing been accused and convicted of
witchcraft. It seems barely possible
tl at in this age of the world such an
act can be justified. Surely it could
not in these United States, because the
people here are endowed v ith light and
knowledge, and have more charity
toward their neighbor than to first sus
pect, and in their ignorant credulity to
arrest, try, aud convict, and that per
haps because of their great prejudices
against their neighbor, aud even lack
ing ample proof. But this is in exact
accord with the human mind, that man
loves a lie better than the truth ; the
fulfillment ef a proverb that a "lie will
travel a thousand miles while truth is
getting his boots on," thus verifying
the fact thit man cannot retain forever
that image of God in his heart which is
divine ; but in his lack of faith and
natural in&rmity and weakness of mind
he can be persuaded through the arts
and facinations of the evil one to be
lieve ihe lie first.
Yet I admit that I am cne of those
who firmly believe that there was a
time when witches did exist, and I have
Biblical authority for my faith. I offer
you a few texts, thus : Exodus 22 : IS ;
Deut. 18 : 10 ; Sam. 15 : 23 ; 2 Chron.
33 : 6 ; 2 Kings 9 : 22 ; Micah 5 : 12 ;
Neh. 3 : 4. These aro a few of the
txts on witches. Then comes wizards,
supposed to mean the masculine, who
was a conjurer or enchanter, or deceiv
er by his arts and devices, while they
of the feminine were regarded as the
witch actual. Then there was the
necromancer, who would converse with
the ghosts of the dead, a conjurer, io.,
as having familiar spirits, &c. All of
these are forbidden. I supposo the
Spititualists of the present day ar
closely allied to some of these, and
ought not to be tolerated in an enlight
ened country.
But 1 will now bring this subject
down to more modern times, as for in
stance, in our own New England States,
or rather colonies. I have something
to say from my memory, part of which
was written and part oral. The latter
I gathered from those who lived during
the latter part of the last century. In
those days there was a well-established
faith in witches and witchcraft. When
a small boy, , seme neighbors would
come and spend the forepart of the
nicht in social conversation, which
bards came off the wheel, and with all
the power of her and the family fi
several days, tbey could not keep the
bands on tae wheel. It was decided
that witches were about. Uno day a
lump of clay ficw across the room and
struck the wall and fell on the floor,
frightening the family, and then more
clay of the daubbing of ' the cracks
would pass with great force and strike
the partition or wail aud raise a dust
and dirty the floor. The next thins
the doors would fly open or shut with
violence, and many other things occur
red. The whole country went there bv
day and by night, and in their midst
siringe fcouudi would be' heard, and
the doors moving suddenly when no
wind blew. Things in their cupboard
were disturbed aud broken. Kev. John
Hutchinson came and held worship
there ; but ihe family had to move out.
They blamed their hired girl for being
a witch. Now, who knew whether she
was or was not. The house was torn
down, but they found not the evil
spirit ; il had fled.
From one and a half to two centuries
ago the people of the New England
States had to earn their bread by the
sweat of their faces, and they only
knew that manner of gettiug along.
As for newspapers, none were printed,
and if there had ben, there were no
mails to carry them, and books were
few. People, illiterate and credulous,
would believe anything they heard a
good deal like they do here yet.. Tbey
believed iu witches aud wizards and all
their craft. When the people bad
fully concluded as to who the witch
was, tbey would meet and take her to
deep water and tumble ber in. If she
drowned it was a pity, for they believed
a witch would not diown. If she es
caped to shore, they would burn her.
thev beins sure that she was a witch
whea she would not drown.
Much more could be written on this
subject of witches and their craft.

were horses and cows bewitched every
