SUPERSTITIONS OP NEW ENGLAND,
By Joseph Chandler.
A belief in judicial astrology has been more or
less prevalent io every part of the civilized
world; and though this belief may have been po
pular only in proportion to the ignorance of the
mass ol the people, yet it wilfbe acknowledged,
by all who are acquainted with the events of the
past century, that, though the ignorant may have
Deco misled by the jargon of their superiors, yet
the most learned, at times, were not only de
ceived by the imposing operations of the adepts,
but were even dupes to their own imaginary ac
quirements.
In few places has this confidence been more
general and implicit than in the old colony. A
very large propoi tion of the inhabitants ol that
section of our country are seamen—a class of
people reinaikably tenacious ol eafly opinions,
ami proverbially superstitious.
Whatever may he tho nature of any popular
belief, if there in not tome special circumstance
to give it authenticity, it* influence is soon lost
upon the minds of those w»n» were most ready
to receive it—it ceases toaffjcl their actio s, and
is only brought to remembrance by some peculiar
coincidence ol circuuv»'Hncea. I' .is may be the
case at the present (i«y wi;h many of those su
perstitions which once agitated the minds, and
influenced the action-, of (he old colonists; but
the belief in judicial «*ii<vl-gy will never be en
tirely Ins! from among ‘hrm, while there is one
alive who witnessed the event which I am about
to relate.
Late in the last century, the R.*v. Doctor S
-, the clergyman of one of »ht* three towns
tlut lie on PIy(umi'h Biy, had «»< quired the awe
ol his parishioner* by hi* deep skill in the occult
scienres, not b s» (hart their love and esteem by
the puritv of »us doctrine and me eSiellence of
his examples He had calmlated me nativity of
very mauv of hin < aciu as tile men
w«*ie twist1 y * t'iu-1* who go down into tilt* sea in
ships,’ he coil'd not often fail when he predic
ted, w ith a *00-111 nitv which vio.>* d hi* own con
fidence in hi» ar’j amt derosnilrd ilieue, 'hat
they Hiu*t ultimately frsd p watery ginve.
Fuliv peihuadcd ol m* own poweis, the reve
rend man was induced to cuiiuiate the extent of
his own lifi*. This ‘as a matter of no small mo
ment. and the good man was often seen at night
bv the neighboring fishermen ascending a hill in
the ‘‘neighborhood, to hold nigh coiiveise with
the stars.” The result of his calculation was
not long a secret, for though he had confidently
entrusted the matter only to his two deacons,
tlu*v had found means to divest themselves ol the
more "eighty part of the secret, by nutting at a
definite time, beyond which iney might not ex
pect the profit of tire good man’s labors. It was,
of course, soon noised through the town, that, on
the morning of ihe 5ih of July, 1795, he would,
according to his own prediction, most assuredly
be relieved from all the « eignt of earthly cares and
earthly sorrow*. The whole of the week preced
ing the day he had marked as the termination of
his earthly career, the pious mandeioted to ex
horting, directing and comforting those who had
long looked np to him as a. temporal as well as a
spiiitual guide.
Rarly on the morning of the fatal Sunday, ap
parently dreaded by *11 more than himself, the
oiliest and most respectable of id* parMiioners
assembled to await the result ol the awful predic
tion Eight o’clovk was the hour which the Doc
tor had marked as the last of lus existence, and
to convince them of Itis confidence in his own art,
he assured them that he had prepared no seiiuuu
for the dav, and that he had aei his hi»u«r in or
der, in full persuasion that "in m-is. die, and
not live.”

Since that unhappy affair, j dicial astrology,
although held in the highest admiration and re
verence by the inhabitants,has been so dreaded that
it has fallen into total di«*u»e. A large slate slab,
erected at the head of his grave, bears the age and
character of the worthy clergyman.and tells,io a
