MISCELLANY
A IiEMARKABLE VISION.
We make tbe following extract . from a
memoir of Dr, Bond, published in the Chris
tian Advocate : .... j.: ...;f." J
About this time occurred a very extra
ordinary incident in the life of Dr. Bond,
Which we narrate, with great doubt as to
the propriety ttf the publication. He very
rarely mentioned it, and never - ventured to
designate or xplam it ; Its troth is; how
ever, beyond questiori.; The 'circumstances
forbid the supposition rif optical illusion, or
temporary hallucination-.- There are those
living who testify to such of the fact as
were subject to observation, -and memori
als of the - transaction are yet ' distinctly
preserved in the . .religious . character of
some who were immediately affected by it.
Being on a visit to his father, he was
Ueeply grieved to find, ihn churchy Which
he had left tn a state of prosperous activi
ty, languishing, lukewarm and weak.-f-ilis
thoughts were much occupied with
Ihe subject, and of course, it whs the mat
ter, of earnest and irequeut -prayer.--In
this state of mind, one morning be was
Walking over the -fields to n neighboring
house when suddenly he seemed to be to
a room where a number of people were
assembled, apparently for worship The
room he recognised as an op. rttnnt in the
house of a neighbor where prayer-inert-ing
was to be held on the evening of that
ilny: Had he stood in the midst of it, he
cou d not have been more conscious of the
scene. There Was nothing of the dim, or J
ehaJdWy, or dreamy about .it, 'J. He recog
nised the p-opie, noticed where they sat ,
and stood, remarked his- father near tbe
table, at which a preacher . was rising jt6 .
give out a hjmn, ajid near the middle of
the congregation he saw a man natned C.,r
for whose salvation ' he felt cbnsiileratle
anxiety, standing with his son beside him.
While gazing with astonishment upon the
scene, he heard rhe words, " Go and tell
C. that he has an offer of salvation for the
last tlms." . ' - '.-.
Naturally suppdsing that the tod great
concentration of mind upon , one subject
had induced some hallucination of the
Borises, Dr. Bond feli do wn on his 1 knees,
and besought God to preserve his reason.
The scene, however, continued it would
hot disappear or change in any of its par
ticulars.. In vain be struggled to dispel it,
the voice yet repeated, with indubitable dis
tinctness, "Go and !tell U. that he; has an
offer of salvation for the last time-!' Yet
bow would he dare to deliver so awful a
message! For a great length of time he
truecled for deliverance from what he still
tonsidered an illusion. At length an ex
pedient occurred to him, which he adopt
ed. He had never been in tbe room in
Which he was apparently present, when it
Was used for a public religious meeting.
He, of, course, did not know bow it was
commonly prepared- for such occasion.
He therefore noted with great care the
particulars of the scene. He saw where-
the little table for the preacher, the bench
es and chairs for the people, .were placed.
He noticed his acquaintances, and where
they sat and stood, and when he was sa
tisfied! that he had possessed himself per
fectly of these details he said, ' I will go
to this meeting, and if I find all things
there to colespqnd with what I now see,
it shall be a sign from the Lord," and I will
deliver the message.' Immediately "J the
scene vanished, and he was alone in' the
green fields ""-" 1-: ' - - j
With a spirit indiscfibably agitated, he
returned home, where he found lalies, who
required him to escort them to a long dis
tance, and it was somewhat past the hour
fixed for the meeting, when he reached the
awful place During the. day he had free
ly indulged the hope, that on his entrance
into tbe room his trouble would disappear.
He thought he had been the subject of an
illusion, tbe fruit of an excited brain, and
that a want of correspondence! immediate
ly to be detected between the real scene
fynd the one presented to his disordered
fancy, would at on;e satisfy him us to the
rnorbid thnracier of his morning vision.'
aod release Iain from the obligation of de
livering the terrible passage, with which
he was comliiionallj charged. ' When he
opened thtiifoor, however, he saw again, in
all its minuteness of detail, tbe , morning
-scene. In vain he searched the rod a for
tt variant particular. There sat his father
In the designated place The preacher at
the table was rising to give out the hymn
In the midst of the room stood Cl with his
son beside hitn. Everything demanded
that the rressage should be delivered. -
After the preliminary exercises, he rose
and stated the circumstances as j we have
related them, and then going to C , he laid
hia hand upon him, and repeaed the .won I
he hd heard. Thetfecl was indescriba
ble. " C. and his 'son fell down together
and called upon God. " An awful solemni
ty res' ed upon upon all present. , Many
Cried for mercy, and from that time began
a revival which spread far and wide ; the
fruits of which are yet seen, after manr
days. 1 ,

' ? SAD ACCIDENT
At Walpble, Mass., on Friday, Mr Rob
ert Smith was severely and probably fatally
Wounded, under the following circumstan
ces : Lewis Bobbins and young brother
.Were engaged in firing at a target, and Mr.
Smith was marking it for tbem. Mr. Rob-
binsjoaded his rifle and placed it in .tie
re8t"for his brother to fire, aiming it, as he
though:, at the mark, but in reality, at Mr.
Smith, who was standing some thirty feet
from the target. The young man fired,
and Mr. Smith was shot through just below
the heartj and probably will not recover.
He has a family. '
' t EXPENSE OF ROYALTY; .
'The royal family of Great Britain cost
the cduhtry nearly eight hundred thousand
pounds otr about four millions of dollars a
year. Prince Albert alone receives annu
ally about two hundred thousand dollars,
although he renders the kingdom no Other
service thah to give it an heir to the throne.
Tbe Queen's coachmen, postillions and
footmen receive as - much,, within about
thirty thousand dollars, as is paid to all the
executive. officers of the United States Gov
ernment . , .
Queen Victoria's milk bill alone- is sev
en thousand dollars per annum ; and what
in this country would be called her ''liquor
bill'- amounts to the handsome annual sum
of fifty thousand dollars equal to two
year's salary of our President. The stones
alone in the crown worn by the Queen on
opening the Sessidne of Parliament ' have
cost the people abdut five millions of-doV
Iars;-while the aggregate salaries of our
President and his Cabinet amount to but
about Oue hundred; thousand dollars per
annum. These are mere items of public
money received by a few individuals. Add
to these the enormous sums necessary to
keep up. the civil, military and naval es
tablishments, and teh million annually paid
to public pensioners, and the frigbtfui ex
pense of the established church, and we
cease to wonder at tbe rate of taxation to
which, the British community is compelled
to submit. The following table shows the
relative taxation imposed on the people of
six different nation, per capita, for every
man, woman and child, viz :
s. D.
England, 2 It 6
France, . 14 (X "
Prussia, 0 - 12 0
Austria, .0 11 4
Russia, ' - 0 9 9
United States, . (T 9 7
From this it will be seen that British
taxation is the highest, and that of .the
United Stales the iowsf, 4n the countries
named the form.r five add One l.alf tinifs
greater thn the Utfef.

DR. JOHNSTON. . .
Memberof the Royal College of Surgeona.Londool
graduate from one of the most eminent Colleges of
tho United Statea, and the greater part of whose
life haa been spent in the Hospitals of London, Par
is, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, haa effected some
of the moat astonishing curea that were ever known
Many troubled with ringing in the eara and head,
vhen asleep, great nervouansae, being alarmed tt
sudden sounds, and baahfuiness. with frequent
blushing, attended sometimea with derangement of
roindj were cured immediately.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and Imprudent votary of
pleasure, finds he. has imbibed the seeds of ihis
painful disease, it too often happens lhat an lil-ti m
ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters
him from, spplying to those who, trom education
and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay
ing till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid
diaeaae make their appearance, "such aa ulcerated
sore throat, diseased pose, nociural pains in the
head and limbs, dimness of siht, deafness, nodea
on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head,
face and extremities, progressing with frighttul rs
pidity, till st last the palate of the mouth' or the
bones of the nose fall in. and the viciim. of this
awful disease becomes a horrid object of cemmls
aeration, till death puts a period to hia dreadful suf
ferings, by sending hiiri to " thst bourne, from
whence no traveller returne." To such therefore:
Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most
inviolable secref y j and. from his extensive prac
tice in the first Hospttala of Europe and America,
he can confidently recommend a ssfe and SDecdv
cure to the unfortunate victim of thia horrid dis
ease. It is a melancholy fact, lhat thousands fall
victims to this dresdful complaint, owing to the tin
skilfulneeaof ignorant pretenders, who, by the use
of that deadly poiaon. mercury, ruin Ihe constitu
tion, and either aend the unfortunate sufferer 10 an
untimely grave, or else make the residue of life mis
erable. ,
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE:
Dr. J. addresses all those who haveinjured them
selves by private and improper indulgencea.
Thefie are lorfie of the aad and melancholy ef
fects, produced by early. habita of youth, visi
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Ilesd, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mnscu'sr Pow

Thousands of persons of adages, csn now judge
whs t is the cause of their declining health. Los
ing their vigor, becoming weak, pale and emacia
ted, have a singular appearance about the eyes,
cough and symptoms of consumption.
DR. JOHNSTON'S INVIGORATING REME
DY FOR ORGANIC WEAKNESS.,
By this great and important remedy weakness of
the organs are speedily cured snd full vigor restored.
Thousands of the most Nervous and Debilitated
individuals who had loat all hope, have been Imme
diately relieved. All Impedimenta to MARRIAGE
Physical or Mental Disqualifications, Nervous Ir
ritability Tremblinga and Weakness, or exhaustion
of the most fearful kind, speedily cored by Dr
Johnston.
Tourig rririi who have inufed themselves by a
certain practice indulged In when alone a habit
frrtyuently learned from evil companions, or at
school, the effects of which are nightly felt, evert
when asleep, and If hot cured, rendera marriage
imposa!ble,acd destroyaboth mind and body, should
apply Immediaie-ly.
What a pity that a voting frtin; the . hope of hi
country, arid the darling of hia parents, should ba
snatched from allprospccta and enjoyment a of life,
by the consequences of deviating from the path of
nature, and indulging In a certain secret habit.
Such persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE.
Should reflect that a sound mind and body are tf.e
most necessary requisites to promote eonnutlal
hsppinecs. Indeed, without these, the journey
through life becomes a wear) pilgrimage: the pros
pect hourly darkeneto ihe view; the mind Becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happlneas of another be
comes blighted wilh on town.
