spoken—Eleanor apparently feeding that with her usual impetuosity she had gone too far ; especially when now she noticed a quizzical look in a certain pair of black eyes—turned involun­tarily as if for protection toward her matronly neighbor, and resting her face against the latter’s shoulder, awaited her fate.”

“ Now, will I deliver thee over unto the buffet­tings of Satan, or one more cruel, impudent dam­sel,” cried her tormenting uncle, “ seize her, Allan, and inflict due chastisement!”

Allan, aftc-r a slight feint of obedience, over­come by the ludicrousness of the tou t ensemble

the scene, broke into as lond a laugh as he was ever guilty of, exclaiming, “ truly, we are a proper set to establish a council which is to overthrow and bring to nought the decisions of those grave digni­taries who met at Nice, Trent, and "Worms.”— Then, suddenly, a change came over his features, and a tear stood in his c-ye as he exclaimed in a so­lemn tone : “ But, 0, it is a most earnest thing to be alive in this world ; to die- never was ‘ sport to man ;’ and though I rejoice to feel at liberty to make merry over the most important subjects, I fc-el also that there Is a deathly solemn side to them.” Then again relaxing from the intensity of his solemnity! he continued: “ What a pleasant and profitable time we have in these rambling conversations, after ail. I look forward to good results from the conti­nuance- of them. But bed-time has overtaken us, and tho oceans of thought that we can profitably intercommunicate on even this one subj ect must needs be restrained.”

So, often chatted the Bayard family on the high­est matters. We will follow them yet again and again. 1

We ere kindly fsvored by Jndze Edmonds with two extracts from his forihcomln» work—‘-Splrkuallsm," which will appear early In this month—only one of which we are able to give this week. The foUowlni was yiren through Judge E. in the form of a vision:

They have taken me to the darker spheres.— There I see countless number of Spirits, of various hues of blackness, amid that dark and murky at­mosphere, so dark and thick that it would seem al­most palpable to the senses.

There, amid that cold and watery and cheerless air, amid that repulsive gloom, I see those countless myriads, boiling up, as it were, under the influence of the darkest passions and vilest propensities of the human heart, like a seething caldron filled with human misery and set into never-ending motion by the lurid and enduring fiame of human pas­sions.

Spread out before me is a vast country, its sur­face level, its soil bleak and desolate, with naught to relieve its dreary monotony, naught to indicate life in itself, but a few sickly and disgusting plants, that seem to have sprung up and grown in dark­ness.

There is a restlessness about those inhabitants that is terrible to behold, for it speaks of the worm that never dies, it tells in language not to be mis­taken, that its gnawings are incessant, that its tor­ments never cc-ase. That worm is memory, ana with all who people that immense desert, it is ever busy in discharging Its duty as a minister of the Most High God, ever active in the performance of its terrible task of retribution. Like a hissing ser­pent, it is ever following the heels of those whose past was evil. Like a consuming fire, it i3 ever at work at its task of burning and purifying the heart Like the dread of impending evil, it is throwing upon the corrupted heart the numbing chill of its fear. Like the air they breathe, it is ever infusing into them its deadly venom. Like the life-giving principle which surrounds them, it is ever impart­ing new life and activity to its office of punishment for sin.

It needs the aid of no material flame to infuse suffering into the heart. It needs no chains of earthly iron to bind the fallen soul to the dark soil in which it grovels. It needs no galling fetters to have its iron enter that soul; but, alone, uncon­querable, unceasing, ever active, from its blas.ing embrace there is no escape, from its devastating breath there is no refuge. It fills the ear with an acute pang that pauses but to increase its might with renewed effort It flows in upon the eye but to light it up with a lurid flame, glowing like a burning coal, and relieved only by its centre-spot of intense blackness, which proclaims the hue of the soul that, looks out through it upon the world around. It invades the taste, and while its sweet­ness tempts to indulgence, the bitter and burning feeling that follows but Epeaks the inner condition still. To the nostrils it is pleasant and captivating, but it ever leaves behind a putrid and offensive scent that speaks of the corruption that is festering within. Felt throughout the surface as a cool and invitiDg breeze, it instils into every vein, infuses Into every bone, pour* upon the extremity o f every

nerve torments that rival the agony that is buried deep beneath that surface.

Thus the faculties which have been perverted to purposes of selfish indulgence become ministering Spirits to the demon of memory that ever haunts them, and bear to the suffering heart, to the deep­est rc-cessc-s of the polluted and fallen scul, endur­ing streams of agony so intense, so overpowering, so omnipotent, that it tells the soul upon which it is exertc-d, the awful lesson, that nothing short of Almighty power couid inflict iL

Oh ’ could mortals see in the flesh, ar.d ere it be too late, how sad is the ruin the scul can bring on itself, how terrible is the agony which the memory can inflict, how incessant and how insatiate are the senses, in bearing within the soul the punishment that must ever flow from their perversion, they would recoil affrighted from the contemplation of a condition so infinitely more horrible than aught the wildest flight of the imagination ever pictured !

It is now shown to me in this vast concourse be­fore me—in the mass and in each individual. It is seen in a restlessness, a discontent with the present and its employments, a desire to escape to some­thing else, an uneasj- and impatient seeking for some relief, which mark the conduct of all who are before me. They are seeking for something, which, alas! thc-y found too often on earth—something that will enable them to forget. But, oh! how vain now the search ! The material surroundings which, in their earthly life, through the intoxicating cup of pleasure in its various forms, aided them to drown the voice of the monitor within, have now all left them, and it is in vain they fly for refuge— for they find none. The intoxicating draught can no longer stupefy the senses, the maddening love of pleasure can no longer by its indulgence con­quer the reason, and even death, to which so many of them looked for relief, afforded them none when it came, and answers not now to their call. No night with its slumbers comes new to aid them.— No insanity, even, can be invoked as a refuge from thought. No excess of passion, though here it rage with tenfold fury, can bring them the coveted blessing of gratification. And thus they exist, day by day, age upon age, century after century, living monuments, speaking lessons, of the curse of per­verted faculties.

And wliat adds infinite horror to an existence so terrible, is the conviction, instilled into their minds, by their earthly teachings, that it is for eternity.

Toward man, in or out of the form, their hearts burn with a bitter and concentrated hatred, which finds no relief but in inflicting suffering upon each other. Toward the fair face of Nature, whose beauties they blighted, whose lessons they disre­garded, their feelings are those of abhorrence ; for every feature of it, from the rolling orb that speeds its way through space, to the blade of grass that protrudes its tiny head from the crevices of the rock, is ever proclaiming in their ears the lesson that Nature ever speaks to Nature’s God. Toward the Great Creator they look with mingled feelings of defiance and fear—defiance which has followed them from their mortal existence, and which hero, as there, is displayed in disobedience of His laws; and fear, lest the power wich is full mighty to in­flict upon them what they suffer, may yet visit them with even greater misery.

Such is the scene spread out before me. If I ask those who are thus suffering, if there is no re­fuge? no hope? every heart answers None. I raise my eyes and ask from above, Is there no hope? Far distant I see a faint light. Reposing in its beams I see many pure and bright Spirits, who seem hovering o’er this dark abyss, from which they are repelled by its gioomy atmosphere. From them comes my answer, “Yes, even for these there is hope—even for these the Infinite Father has provided a redemption—even for these he has vouchsafed a Savior ; for even in the dark­est and vilest heart there, perverted, misshapen, and degraded as it may be. His Spirit still slum­bers, and it yet will answer to His voice as it speaks from above. In each soul is the power of its own redemption, and the hour of its redemp­tion will be when it shall have learned the lesson so important to man in every stage of existence— so much easier to be learned and acted upon in his primary existence—that he must work out his own salyation.”

And now there appears to me from chat distant light a bright and pure Spirit, whose countenance bears the impress of deep gric-f, and yet of un­bounded love, and he says to me :

“ Mortal! proclaim this truth to thy fellow-man. To many of us the learning of it has been a ¡ODg and bitter trial. See that it be not so to you bv neglecting the instruction when it can be most available to you; and fear not to proclaim it bv aDy dread of the manner in which man may re­ceive it, for when thou shalt have passed to this sphere of existence, thou wilt meet with manv a human soul whose gratitude or whose reproach will attend thy footsteps in thy passage through eternity, as thou dost faithfully perform or basely betray the duty imposed upon thee.”

A Heroine.—Miss Florence Nightingale, the young English lady who, sometime since, sailed for the seat of war in the East with a corps of forty nurses, to minister to the relief of the wounded and suffering soldiers there, is tho daughter of a gentleman of wealth named William Shore Night­ingale, residing at Embley Park, Derbyshire, and he’ress to his fortune. She is conversant with manv languages, ancient and modern, has traveled much, is a person of fine natural intellect, and possessed of a happy and luxurious home. Her present en­terprise is but one-of-many such benevolent efforts, by which she ha* diitinguiihed herselt

XT HENRY WARD RESCUER.

Among all the grateful gifts of summer, none, .1 think, has been deeper and more various, than the sight of the enjoyment of the children. I do pity children in a city. There is no place for them. The streets are full of bad boys that they must not play with, and the house of furniture that they must not touch. They are always in somebody’s way, or making a noise cut of proper time—for the twenty-fifth hour of ihe day is the only time- when people think chiidien should be noisy. There is no grass for their feet, nor trees lor climbing, no or­chard or nut-laden trees for their enterprise.

But here has been a troop of children, of three families, nine that may be called children, (with­out offence to any sweet fifteen,) that have had the summer before them to disport themselves as they choose. There are no ugly bows to be watched, no dangeioun places to "all them, no bulls or wicked hir.pozrins .o chase tuem.—They are up and fledg­ed b\ b. e..siast, a:.d lLcii they arc- off in uncircum- scribe-.l Lbe, iy uh dinner. Thev may uo to the barn, ot to c-.itier Oi ihreu orchards, or to either of two wooes, or io c-iiiier oi two springs, or to grand­ma’s (who arc- the very genii of oomfort and ginger­bread to children.) They can build all manner of structures in wet sand, or paddle in the water, and even get their feet wet, their clothes d’rtv, or their pantaloons torn, without its being leckoned aeainst thc-rn. They scuffle along the road to make- a dust in the world, they chase the hens, hunt sly nests, build fires on the rocks in the pastures, and fire off Chinese crackers, until they are surfeited with noise; they can run, wade, ha-ion, stub their toes, lie down, climb, tumble down, with or without hurting them­selves, just us much as they please. They may climb in and out of wagons, sail chips in the water- trough at the barn, fire apples from the sharpened end cf a limber stick, pick up baskets full of bril­liant apples in competition with the hired men, proud of being “ almost men.” Their hands, thank for­tune, are never clean, their faces are tanned, their hair tangled within five minutes after combing, and a button is always off somewhere. The d:iv is a creation especially made for children. Our Noble has been at least equal to one hand one foot extra for frolic and mischief, to each of the urchins. But grandest of all joy, highest in the scale of rapture, the last thing talked of before sleep, and the first tiling remembered in the morning, is the going for a n u ttin g . Gal the hunting of little baskets, the irrepressible glee, as bags and big baskets, into which little ones are to disembogue, ccme-forth! Then the departure, the father or uncle climbing tl’<c tree—“ oh 1 high. 1” ths slinking oi limbs, the rattie oi huncireus oi cmesnuts, which squirrels shall never see again, the eager picking up, the merry ons! and ouenes 1 as nuts come ¡-lump down on their bare head?, the g owing heap the approach­ing dinner by the brock, or. leaves yellow as gold and in sun-light yellower sill!, the mysterious bas­kets to be opened, the cold chicken, the bread sli­ces—ahlmoi one would love to be twenty boys, or a, boy twenty times over, just to experience tho simple, genuine, full, unaiicyeu pleasure ofchildren in a wood, with father and mother, “a nutting!’’— f . Y . Indcver.d in t.

V T of.x .— It is not, after all, such a deligbtfui thing to be rich. VTho would be tethered to hous­es and lands, or bo obliged to carry about upon his shoulders a bank or a block of stores ? Men are ouen not so much possessed of riches, as riches are possessed of them 1 luey arc slaves to their for­tunes, instead cf fortunes being a slave to them.

Talk about money elevating a man above the necessity cf labor! It can’t be done. Nothing can raise a man above the need of exertion. Even rich men must eat, and nobodv can enjov food without labor. As P.or Richard says, if a man does notn-eed to work to find meat for Lis stomach he must work to find stomach for his meat. Thus* the- rich need to labor no less than the poor. Labor is a glorious institution, and in most cases a fortune is the worst thing that can befall a man. Fortune may indeed furnish the tabic with rich viands, but labor gives a delicious taste to the hardest crust. Fortune gives ease, but labor brings with it the luxury of rest. Ihe misery of it is, however, that like most earthly blessing?, labor is very unequally distr.butc-u. One man does not work enough to give him an appetite, and dies of dyspepsia; anoth­er is condemned to ceaseless toil, until labor be-, comes drudgery. And so it is that work is looked upon as an c-vii. It was while bound to tho desk at the East India House that Charles Lamb wrot* thus of work :

This the poet said when he was weary, but be knew that labor was not the invention of Satan. He knew that it was a good gift perverted by hu­man institutions. Labor is too often looked upon es only a means to an end, and that end fortune. But labor should be loved for itself. It gives health, which fortune cannot do; it keeps down evil pas­sions, which rise at fortune’s touch ; it bestows tho cheerful heart and the glad countenance, while for­tune brings heart-ashes and wrinkles. Let u# think well o f labor.— Periland Transcript,

Now, this extract, short as it is, has a number of statements likely to be misunderstood, im p ly in g as they do, a good deal too much. In the first place, we never acted as the representative of this Society in what we did for the cause in Brooklyn,

How far such conduct is cal­culated to harm on ize men, be they Spiritualists or not, we leave for others to say, but to us, it has ail the bad f a i t h and tr ick e ry of the political platform, rather than the candid and honest dealing of the truth-lover and tolerant Spiritualist In the».

may not be uninteresting to your readers to hear a little of this progressive town.

About nineteen years ago a Mr. Shepard with a few others came to this place, then a dense wilder­ness, two miles from a public road, commenced felling the trees, and soon laid the foundation for a prosperous town and one of the most celebrated schools in America.

The school has ranged from 800 to 1000 scholars at a time latterly, and mostly boarders from differ­ent sections of the country. Among those have been a few colored people, about a dozen generally, and by the rules of the school and the public opi­nion hereabout, color is not an objection to a man,

The naked rock rises above the breast of the ocean wave, and though lashed by storms, it gives birth to small delicately formed flowers. These are its progress. In this way it expresses its gratitude to the giver of all good, for life in any form or condition. Acres roll away, and the rock becomes an island covered with grass, and fruit-bearing plants, sines, and trees. Birds of gay pdumage are flitting among the branches; animals of an instinct that amounts almost to intelligence, are sporting in the sunshine, or reclining in the shade. Where did they come from? They art unlike the animals, birds, and trees of every other island and continent There is but one way to account for their being. Through the medium of that old rock they came from that I Fountain in which all things “ live, and breathe, and have a being.” Where was the Devil all the while that the rock was proclaiming love in the wilderness of the ocean r

and your readers, o f the happy times which are dawning upon us as Spiritualists. The small number which first met in F n i­ton-street. at No. lCu. among whom were yourself, Brother P. B. Bandolph, U. Clark, and others, have met with no discour­agement; the hall is still rolling and gathering In strength and bulk. Last Sunday you would have been pleased to have been with us. In the forenoon we had a goodly number in our circle, which resulted in many satisfactory demonstrations. Among the Spirits who visit our circles, public and private, are a band o f Indians, they give their names as Black Hawk, Logan, and others; displaying all the Indian characteristics, such us the war whoop and dance, speaking, writing through the medium, and

one attended by a spirit present. But I tell you, could your i drawing the forms o f their hunting and war Implements, such¿pirituai vision be unfolded— could the veil for a time be drawn aside wLIch shuts out your perceptions from the realities of Spirit-life,—you would behold such a sight upon the present oc- cailon as would cause every heart to s ing; every tongue would rejoice. For you are surrounded bv a host o f friends— yes, a host o f friends once dearly loved by yourselves— perhaps loved itilL Can you not feel their sweet and heavenly influence ?— Best your minds, let quiet reign, and yield yourselves to the embraces of your Spirit-friends; open the ears of your Spirit to receive aspirations containing and expressing turning words of ardent love from Spirit-lips. Can you not mingle your feelings with those o f your Spirit-friends ? Can you not realize their an-

| gelicpresence? Some o f you can ; and the time is not far dis­! tant when mai.y w ill he able to realize their blessed presence. I i tell you, m y friends, though your own hearts may be anxious to

as tomahawks, pipes o f peace, bows and arrows. Such, then, was our forenoon’s edification. A t three o’clock, men and women began to enter, until the Hall became well filled. I began to feel uneasy, not having any speaker engaged; but Brother P . B. Bandolph, like a messenger of light, appeared among us. Br. E. took the stand, and stated that two hoars previous he bad made an engagement to meet a dear friend in N ew York , but a voice spoke to his interior man, telling him he must go to Brook­lyn. TTitii this impression he came, and found us la the above condition. In the meantime Mr. Clark came In and opened by reading a portion o f Scripture, and o"erc-d prayer, when Br. Bandolph commenced and spoke one hour and a half, and it is the opinion o f many who heard him, that Brooklyn was never

Feeling it m y duty to moke known to the afflicted theselo- valuable remedies, not only in obedience to the positive com­mands o f m y Spirit-guides, but from a thorough conviction that they are all that is claimed for them, and from a desire to relieve the sufferings o f afflicted humanity, I propose to place them in the hands o f all at the most reasonable rates, and shall, as far as I have the ability to do, cheerfully supply it without charge, to all w b om a vn o t have the means to pay for it.

HUSICAL LITERATURE.Mr. Horace Waters, one of the most enterprising

Music Publishers in the country—not to speak cT his amiable and honorable personal traits—has en­tered upon a new career of publishing, from which we think the beautiful art has much to expect. He has engaged the services of Hr. Baker, who was leader of Jul’ien's concerts in this country, and who has a fine reputation as a musical scholar, as the editor and arranger of his publications. Mr. B.’s culture and familiarity with the musical litera­ture of the Old World, give ample assurance that the issues of Mr. AVaters’ establishment will have an elevated character, and be worthy of the best circles of the cultivators cf music. With the en­terprise which Mr. W. will be apt to infuse, there is good reason to expect a useful service to the cause of classic and cultivated music in this ar­rangement. We wish it cordial success, both for art’s sake and as a reward to the libetal dealing and business diligence of Mr. ’Waters.—Xetc York EcangelL it

M ay the blessing wherewith we in Spirit- life have been blessed, be your abiding portion, and so bless ye others as ye are blessed.

Dr. Hatch addressed the meeting as follows;M y friends, important facts and philosophy are not the pro­

ducts o f a day. but the offspring o f a world’s travail, the immor- talitv of which shall be acknowledged in all coming time. The great principle^ of Spiritual philosojihy—the intimate commin­gling o f the two spheres, the daily associations we hold with, and instructions we receive from, a higher life, are the results o f tbaadvancement oi the m-.-=t advanced nation—of the most ad-J was first observed by a lady wlio livesvanced people o f that nati;-n. N o previous period could have received them in that form. The world has arrived at that point whenj it can give birth to the high principles o f association, which but very few are as yet prepared to appreciate and un­derstand, or in any way to comprehend. T e are upon tho morn­ing of a new existence, when the portals o f heaven shall be opened, and we see— perhap3 dimly, but still, ali our dimmed eves are prepared to comprehend—the glorious vista o f the fu-

U u o s t .—The Nashville (Tenn.) Evening News fur­nishes the latest ghost story, and it is one that is exciting the fears of nearly all the good people of Nashville, including even those who are not prone to listen to or believe tales of “ghosts or goblins damned.” The story runs in this wise:

In a tenamless house just a few steps this side of Brown's Creek, on the Nashville and Murfrees­boro’ Turnpike, it is said something resembling the figure of a woman in a state of nudity has been seen at various periods within the past two years.

’ ’ ’ _ ' " shortdistance beyond the creek, and who has to passthe “ haunted house” in coming to and returning from the city. She is a highly respectable lady, and her veracity would not be questioned by those who are personally acquainted with her. ' Other mem­bers of her family, and other persons who have passed this house, testify to having seen this sup­posed apparition at various times and under vari­ous circumstances.

Before and alter this appearance, on several oc­casions, the house has been thoroughly searched, but no evidences of its being occupied by any liv­ing creature, (except flees and rats,) have'bc-en dis­covered. ’ ’

Our readers will recollect all the tribulations ex­perienced by a grocer’s family, and produced, as it was said, by an infernal Spirit. They doubtless rc-meixiber, too, tbat a soldier, called Lebel, succeed­ed in restoring that family to peace and happiness. (Gazette des Tribunaux, 23th and 29th August, ISAS.)

AH the famiiv conceived, and still preserve for their liberator, the strongest gratitude. Unfortu­nately the law does not believe in magical science, and the Paris Council of War ordered the arrest of Lebel, and his examination under the charge of swindling. M. Lebel, by the first decision, was condemned to two years’ imprisonment. But he called for a review, and it is in consequence of that request, that the superior Judges have to rc-exam- ine the first trial.

M. do Laverdo, Capitan of State Major, related in his quality of Judge Advocate, the different

, phases Gf the first trial. He thought that the first Council of War violated an important form, by not ordering the reading of the witnesses’ examination! and especially the evidence of Mrs. Tournemiliilre, who was unable to come to the Court.

The King’s Commissary, M. Joinville, discussed the importance of these omissions, and presented them as a direct violation of the 20 Brumaire Law. He consequently requested the abatement of the sentence pronounced against Lebel.

Hearing this, M. Cortelier, the Council of War, unanimously pronounced the abatement of the said judgment, and sent the culprit before the second Council of War, in order to be examined anew on the charge.

“Doctor Pietet, on the contrary, sides with the supernatural hypothesis. He had closely examined all the persons interested in that affair, and he was satisfied that they were in good faith. He one day saw the girl come in with a silk thread around her neck. The compression produced by this thread was such as to inject all her face with blood. He cut the thread, but observed with amazement that it had no knot. A moment afterwards she came again with another thread, but this had a knot.— Another time an iron wire seriously injured her eyes in the presence of another witness. The doc­tor was satisfied that these facts could not be as-; cribed to natural causes, and advised to consult; other physicians. i

that she was herself trying to discover truth. ;“ On the President’s observation that these facts i

“The curate of Cedeville, and several other priests of his acquaintance, were talking one evening about' the means that should be employed to rid the child of such an obsession ; one cf the clergymen said he had read in an oid book on sorcery, that t'ae Spirits were- very much afraid of iron points; anxious to try the- experiment, they ail took sharp pieces of

i of “ Pascal’s Amulet.” “ When only one year old, | this great writer of the seventeenth century was 1 thought bewitched. An old sorcerc-ss, who begged I at his father’s house, confessed that she had thrown 1 a spell on the child, and that ho must die. The ; hag was obliged to withdraw the spell in coasts-

i quence of the death of a cat, which had been of­! fered to, and refused by, the devil. The witch i then caused a girl, seven years of age, to cull cer­i tain plants, with which she prepared a plaster that threw the child into a sort of lethargy. After a few hours he came to life again, according to the witch’s prediction. Since that epoch, Pascal mu3t have had a great faith in Spirits; for, at his death, a pi ice of paper was found cn him enclosed in a slip of parchment. These two leaves were written by Pascal himself, and contained the following pro­fession of faith:

“Anno Domir.e, 1G5L.“ Monday, November 25, St. Clement’s day, and

other martyrs.“ Vigil of St. Chi isogone, &c,“ From half-past two, P. M., to about midnight.“ Fire.“ God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob.“ Names of philosophers and learned men.“ Certitude, certitude, sentiment, joy and peace.“Forgetfulness of the world, and everything but

God. ~ *“Joy, joy, joy, . . . tears of joy.”This amulet is thus described by M. Lutel, mem­

ber of the Institute, and physician to the Lunatic Asylum.

J o h n .— But, my dear friend, it is quite impos­sible that the great Pascal ever wore such an amu­let.

A l e e r t .— It is possible that Pascal did not know the contents of these slips of paper: he may have received that amulet after the spell had been thrown upon him, and preserved it all his life without be­ing aware of it3 composition. But it is also possi­ble that this great philosopher knew better than yourself the corresponding meaning of the phrases that seem to you so ridiculous. I have not the pretension of explaining to you everything that you do not understand. Our present study is so complex, so difficult, so mixed up with error and truth, that it would be presumptuous to decide positively upon every question which may be ad­dressed. To follow the teachings of prudence, we must be a little more advanced in our knowledge before deciding these questions.

57. Le Constitutionnel, of December 7,1847, re­lates the particulars of a law-suit which dt-eply agitated the city of Lyon. Y’et it was nothing more than a case of possession, similar to those I

izer, the account of many similar manifestations. Several of these possessions have already been re­corded here; but in the aforesaid work, you will especially remark a phenomenon of spell-thrown which took place at Chartres. Tho furniture of a house there, was for fifteen days, moved and over­thrown by invisible hands. I shall now speak of the Presbytery of Cedeville, where one cf the most com£jletc facts of spell-thrown took place; these details will thus be an abstract of all the most curious phenomena cf magic. I have read this narrative- in a book entitled “ Piteumrdology of Spirits, and their Fluid Influences,” by Marquis Eudes de Mirviile, a very singular work which has just appeared. Bui I prefer to give only an ab­stract cf this affair, which I borrow from the Jour­nal La Patrie, May 26, 1S53. Hero are tho words of the author: •

RECCED OF OCCULT SCIENCES.

“ TVe have to relate to-day facts cf so extraordi­nary, so bizarre, so incredible a nature, that noth­ing but the evidence which resulted from regular debate before an eminent court, could have led us to publish such debates. But twenty witnesses, all unanimous in there testimony, oblige us to re­late facts which throw us violently four hundred years back.

“ So well authenticated a narrative will prove once more that the modern philosophers who have

the miadie of which the word ‘pardon’ could be clearly distinguished. ‘Pardon,’ repeated the priests, ‘ we will do so, and pray God to grant you the same favor. YYe shall only exact one condi­tion, viz.: that you will come yourself ar.d beg pardon of this child.’ ‘ITil! you pardon us all?’ ‘ TThy 1 are there- many ?’ ‘ With the shepherdwe are five.’ ‘ We forgive you all.’ The parson­age then remained in a profound silence.

The sensible aspects and insensible emanations of the vegetable ana animal kingdoms affect us in a similar way, as is evident in the differences of the physical ar.d moral qualities of the horticulturist, who for years-has been continually beholding the beauties and inhaling the odors of Cowers, and the butcher, who has for the same length of time been continually inhaling the life-fumes rising from

mering word ; she was the refuge of its fears, the supplyer of its wants; and every t-.skof affection wove a new link, and made dear to her its object. And when her child dies, a portion of her own life, as it were, dies with it. How can she give her dariing up, with all these loving memories, these fond associations ? Timid hands that have so often taken hers in trust and love, how can she fold them on its sinless breast, and surrender them to the cold giasp of death?

PHYSICO-PSYCEOIOC-ICAL INFLU­ENCES.

The distributions and associations of the forms and organisms which created being, observe ^

to exterior properties. VTe may eveiy where find ■ slightest external c!eexemplifications of this fact, more cr less conspicu­ous, in the lower kingdoms cf Nature as well as in the human world. Thus tbe vegetation indisencus to any particular clime or locality, alwavs bears a relation to the temperature, soil, arid moisture pre­valent in that locality. The mountains of tropica! regions, which rise from a realm of perpetual sum­mer to an altitude of eternal snow, are clothed at their different elevations by dilicrent genera and species of plants, adapted to aii the gradations cf temperature, from the tropic to the arctic. An ar­tificial transplantation of any of these vegetable forms is either iatal to the latter, cr else causes in

qualities. Nay, some persons whose sympathetic susceptibilities are particularly acute, have seme- times distinctly discerned the physical aches and pains, or perceived the mental idiosyncrasies, or even the very thoughts of persons present with them, before any external indications of tbe same have been given. Nut only so, but man’s mag­netic sphere vwhich contains aii the life-qualities of h.mselfj is capable of being impressed on every thing that he handles, and that, too, in such a de­gree as to be clearly peiceived by a person of acute sensibilities. Innumerable proofs cf this fact have :

Stoves in Churches.—The introduction of stoves into meeting-houses in New England, some years since, was resisted by the more pious Christians, who needed no fire to warm their zeal—muffs and tippets and little foot stoves, about the size of a se­gar box, being deemed amply sufficient. Every* body in middle age remembers the “ shivering” In church, putting coat collars about the ears, and the

were wrong, rationally wrong. The simple people of our country places were alone in the truth, despite the apparent absurdity of their beliefs.

“ Here is the narrative of the facts which took Diace in 1S59, in a small village of Normandy, called Cedeville. This narrative is literally copied from a legal examination which still exists in the tribunal archives, and an abstract of which is now in press, to appear as an Appendix of M. de Mir- ville’s book.

“ Towards the end of March, ISi?, M. Tend, curate of Cedeville, met at one of his sick parish­ioners’ houses, a man who was considered by thc- whole community as a sorcerer. The curate rep­rimanded him severely and sent him away. On the other side, the authorities took

“ Miss Denis kept a sort of boardiDg-school at Lyon, or unauthorized convent. Among her pupils was a girl called Jane Mary Auberger, twenty-one vears of age, and who was persuaded she was pos­sessed by tho demon. The accusation tried to charge Miss Denis and her brother with the respon­sibility of the facts attributed to the evil Spirit— These facts were attempts to debauchery, &c., &c. The witnesses easily destroyed these charges, as is evident from the acquital of Miss Denis. The devil alone remained accused cf those horrors. Mon- tainlier, (the policeman of that quarter,) shall re­late the particulars to the Court

“ Scarcely ha.d he recovered h¡3 liberty, when he swore he would take revenge upon the curate, whom he accused of all his troubles with the po­lice. To accomplish his plan of revenge, the sor­cerer selected his friend and disciple, shepherd; edThorel. • j

“ Two boys were educated at the curate of; Cedeville; the one was twelve years of age, and called Gustave Lemonier. the other was fourteen, and his name Clement Bunel. The education of these children was both a pleasure and a source of profit for the curate, and it is :n the person cf one of these children, that the sorcerer is accused of having struck the curate.

“ One day the boy was accosted by the shep­herd, and from that instant all these events began.

“ Scarcely had the child returned, when a tor­nado came and seriously damaged the presbytery. A moment after severe blows resounded all over the house; they seemed to bo produced by a pow­erful hammer, and the house appeared on the point of falling down.

“ These blows became so violent that they were heard at more than a mile distance. One hundred and fifty persons went to the parsonage, but could not discover any cause for this frightful noise.

“ The mysterious knocks went on, and repeated I in measure all the musical pieces which were de­manded of them. The window glass fell to pieces, —the tables danced about the rooms,—knives, brushes and breviary, flew away through one win­dow and came back through another,—tho shovel and tongs quitted the hearth and walked boldly around the room,—the hammers soared in the air,. or fell down lightly as a feather,—a table covered with enormous books, darted towards a witness, but instead of striking this person, fell perpendicu­larly at his feet, despite all the known laws of grav­itation, &c., £c.

“ Another witness went to the parsonage, and installed himself in the children’s room. He ques­tioned the mysterious noise, caused knocks to be produced in every corner of the apartment, and agreed upon oert&in forms to enter into communi*

Medical students, exhausted by a winter session, are apt to be special subjects of real or imaginary irregularity of the heart A young friend who at­tended our lectures, last winter, on diseases of the chest, felt an unusual knocking of his heart after ascending the long college stairs, and required sev­eral examinations to satisfy him that there was so danger.—E y d r q x t ih U E n i t u ,
