' when I spoke merrily tocher, bat ahe never laughed, not ev#i when, playing wiih fiidney, who was now a fat, health;, rpbust boy. ■ -..■Tii

She seldom commenoed a convtrtation, bnt when I asked her about Windsor, aiid her friends, the Ti- nals, she wonld go on like a olook wound up} quietly, evenly, till ehe had to etop, frpm eometnterruption; her world hitherto had beea the: Uttle .village cirole, and to her there were no heroes like the great men of that em ail plaoe. .

Mr. Evans had' resided there many y^rj^iind waa elected from that distriot to Congress. Emma had resided near hlin, and his hotuje garden, wife, children, doffleStio«, were all known to hei^ and,ehe oottldIiifeiotfbb them minutely, even'to their dress and daily employments.: When we! werb Sewing, 1 often •■wound ber tip," just to see how long she wonld UricVahd'b& enjoyment': was so great in It,'that 1 took mnoh pleasure In listening,;. bnt if p third ]>er- son oame in, if it were no one bat aont {Janna^jor evenji.sohool glj-1, she shrank baokwithinhjWeir and preserved a silence that was painful

“ fdo wonder where the old key is," I said. “ Can it be that Bidneyhas thrown it away?” ,. ' To my great surprise Emma blushed, and appeared agitated. I thought she must misunderstand me.

“ Imean the key to the old house," I said.' . ,* “^es.'.ma'm,”. eald she, appearing still more ag. ita^ed, and. putting her band in her pooket •• Ex- oust me,” she said, in a low, half-trembling voioe, ‘•I took it ami went in yesterday,"1 .“ Why, my ohild," I said, " this ne$d n’t trouble i p j $ T w may go as often as you please..

Bnt t was beaming very susplpions and nnoomfortable, and I closed the desk to sit down and think. ■. ■; ''

The more I thought, the more perplexed I became, till, rousing myself with a sudden impulse, I pre­pared for'a walk. The Tain wsiij ovbr -oneToibar blne> ep<i»t gave promise" of a fine evening, and I walked'irapldiy in the direotion of tiie parsonage— and had proceeded1 more than a mile before I stopped to’ ask ‘mymIf'deUbent«1y~M What are yon going to’do? ' Surely, not aoouse a young girl and a stran­ger of theft! ■■ A poor; friendless child, entrusted to you for proteotion !” When 1 put'the matter Ih'thla blnht way, I waa startled at the' rapidity with whloh l had oome to oonoltiBions.

But she insisted upon oalling him, sure that I had some important communication to make, and I: was left alone for some mf notes, looking round on the nicely famished room,, darkened, excepting one window near which .

For some days aftetthls I was engaged In exam, ining the newyjapSjJt Maurioe had been telling me of Burr and Hjiauton, and I wished to examine the artioles written at the time. I had with great bare and labor selected the numbers; I wished and ar­ranged them on the carpet, when my roguish boy,: thinking, I suppose, to arrange thetri after a fashion of his own, gathered them np Hnd threw thedi all into oonfuelon:

••Ton naughty ohild 1” I exolaimed,'and taking him up hastily I oarried him into Emma’s room, not s.topping to knock at her door.'’Bbe sat upon her trunk near her bed, buBily engaged In reading a manuscript of some kind, whioh,' as soon aa she saw me, she' threw, behind- her and looked muoh con fused.; Fora seoond Iw as irresolute'what to do, bnt Sidney sprung from my arms and Emm ' rose to take him .; : i i ■ ’ •

••Please take bim a little while," I said, “ that I may arrange thoie newspapers' again,” arid then walked deliberately down stairs, where I sat for five minutes, motionless, lost in speculating upon Emma’s strange ways. Bdspiolon now begah to take foirtn and shape, and there came to my heart an evil sug feestlon to search her room; bnt I reoolled from it, for I thought of wbat my father: used to say, « Bb slow io suspect, and remember that Bns'pioious oir oniristanees are not proofs.”

It is singular that I now bebame posstssbd of ti strong desire to eee that paper, and'day and night was revolving in< my mind' some way to prooure it.

More than a year had now elapsed Binoe my hus* band’s diath. : I had lived retired, seolude'd from all sooiety, save the few. neighbors who called oooa. eionally, and from all gentlemen’s eoolety, save now and then a oall from Mr. Harmon, and the dally Visits of toy brother. “ Aunt Hannah ’’ had been very neighborly and kind; but for a week she bad avoid­ed the houpp, firid when ever I went there, ehe put on an air of distanoe ,and reserve, whioh I thought very nn. beooming in one in her position.

“ You bad better watoh her,” said aunt Hannah, “for we do n’t want any more scandal about the family."

I looked up in surprise, but I said not a word, only prepartd myseir to be tortured. I had often read of the Indians’ torturing their captives by slow fire, and of martyrs burned at tbe stake, and 1 bave sometimes wondered how the viotims felt as they saw the preparations. No doubt mapy rerved tig^m- selves to endurance, thinking the time Bhort befon death would oome to their release. Now-wheri aunt Hannah oommcnoed in this way, l ralliedjall my forces of Indurance to maintain the-siege. I was still silent} this vexed her, and she commenced again on Emma! , ,.

“ I'm sure I don’t know but the child is well enongh, and I have never heard a word of harm about her, but the Judge says he should thinkyou ’d weary or her iot company; be thinks she is n’t more than hair.wilted—but if.report speaks true, yoy- do n’t depend op her'for company.” . 7

Again I felt the hot blood tingle in my veint, hu^1 thought there was virtue In silence, and went on with my sewing, doing my work on the wropg aide, though. , r" - ;

“Bllencegives oonsent" :•• Mrs. Prloe,’f said I, now thoronghly roused, and

as usual with me on suoh occasions, saying the very thing I ought not, "Mrs. Prloe, I perceive you hays oome;here to vex me; ir I have given any oause of offenoe, toll me, for I am ignorant to what yon al­lude, and innocent, I am sure, of intentions! wrong.”

“ Very innocent,-no dpubt, and blind at a new­born kitten, but all yonr nelghbora see it if yon don°t" ,. ,, . -

I should not have spoken here, but I did, and that very impatiently, •

“Bee what?’’ I said. "If,you htve any aocuttf tlon, make it at onoe; this slow torture it unyndur- able.” . 7 , 7 . - - ' .

She had now the power over me, and she nted i t i ; “ Ohyet;you don't know that all ^luroslde,f§

Oar hristleat words are sometimes prophesies- I suppose aunt Hannah thonght I wonld deny or

' and asked her to stay longer, I folt no. oordlallty toward(herr ; I longed also to be slon? aind examine my own heart, aad’irhen she left the house, I turned

. to my .own room to oommune in «llenee.. •Conscience whispered that I had erred in finding

so tnnoh pleasure in the sooiety of ihe Judge, but ntoronce until then had I In thought over been- falU»l«BB to my husband—his memory waa erery day more precious (o me.

- Must I now treat him as a stranger, and let distrust; and suspicion take the plaoe of confidence and mu­tual trust? No. I would not. Things should move' oo.as they bad done. Aunt Hannah might croak,' and the scandal-loving neighbors might gOBplp about my brief widowhood; it would be lcng enough if it; depended on .Judge Peri^ to kborten.it

There he is, now—1 hear hls step in the hall; I like to hear it; I feel stronger'when be is near; and then he has a family resemblance to my husband, I

There are several grades of aristocraoy indigenous to various localities of this gigantlp beo-comb called the world. Living in the country, my^observations, and consequently my province for treatment, is country arittoeraey. As every one seems to be striv­ing for something higher, in the social soale as well as In every othlr, a few bints may be serviceable to those whose experiences have been less limited than iny own. ‘

To .begin with, it is pseless for any one .in the ; country to try to be aristocratio, unless,they are for- tfcnate enongh to have some oity acquaintance to ape. Next; you must bave a good, stiff, backbone,j with your skull bones set on the topof it, on a slant j of forty-five degrees baokwanl.1' You must try and have all tbe musoles of your body rigid, except those whloh control the mouth.' Much praotice will be re­quired to bring tbese to perfeot obedienoe, and. you Will doubtless have to praotioe before. your mirror much before you will* get to suit yourseif. You must not omit to put on the termination ah wherever yon ban. It'is very much in use. Watah—buttah ihnndah—doah. Never mind what Webster atid McGuffy say1 against it. They did not belsng jto the ton, or they would not have written dictionaries and reading books for j i living. 1 Consequently, their Opinion'is riotwortii'consulting. Get a door-plate, If yoet Oan. No matter if yon have aot a neighbor Within a mile—yod must'kiep up appearances! If yea -make a party, Invite your guests at 9 1 2 or 1 0 o’clock p. m — reoeptlOBs aro always lalfc in theclty. Alter 'some old lady has traveled a wHole mile on foot to mako you a visit, just send your domeatio— « f course you'keep one—to the door to tell her yoq are not at home to your acquaintances that’’day ' will be happy to see her at another time. If yon f c i anycompunotlons of oorisclenoe whett yon .see Ut#' poor old lady go away tired and slowj console j^bnreelf by knowing such things are practiced inbur but dty tocuty. .........•1 - If a stylish stranger oomes Into the plaoe, you

Why ahould the innooent be made to'suffer for the guilty at the niaudatt of mikUt 'the»»’wretohed women,ma&y of them are no doubt ' innodent of the orueltles oommitted by theli- husbands.

L e tte r fr o m l a u r a D e F o r e e . G o r d o n .Deab Banneb—Onoe again, amidst the grand old

hills and warm hearts of New England, after an ab senoe of one year, to your friends and mine I 6end greeting, with words of oheer and kind remembrance.

My last leotures ere my departure from New Eng land last year, and the. first on my return this nionthi’were given before the Portland Spiritual As eooiatldn, ilnd I am able to report an improvement.Tbe meetings have been sustained,! notwithstanding the pressure of the timeB, and the attendance being abont the same as formerly, proves the increasing Interdat, for many of those who were wont'to attend are gone to the battle-field, and their plaoes are fllled:by those who have asked, “ What of the dead? Where are. they ?" who have reoeived the happifying assurance, '1 We Btill live, and are with you." A Sabbath School—a moBt; commendable enterprise— has t>eeb established recently, and promises great good in the future, b.v Imparting to youthful minds the praotloal lessons of our beautiful Qospel of Life. i! A great interest has been recently awakened tn the minds of hundreds in this city, who have pre vlously bestowed soaroely a thought 'upon the sub­jeot,' by the wonderiTuI manifestations of spirit power, given thrdugh the'medinmsblp of Charles H. Foster, of Salem. Mr. Foster, I am' told, has been In the city more than two monthB, and the satisfaction he gives as a reliable test medium is evident from the faot that soores of people are waiting for an oppor­tunity to prove the genninenesB of his profession os a spirit-medium, his time having been so fully ooou- pted as to prevent many anxious inquirers from as yet doing so.1 ' '' His manlfestatlens are all produoed in lhe light,

and every reasonable test to preclude deception is willingly submitted to, atid the communications are of suoh a character as to oonvlnce the most' skepti­cal—whatever their explanation may be—that the medium does not originate them. The most of your readers are probably aware of the nature of his manifestations, and 1 will not refer to them In de­tail. The most convinoing evidenop is the appear* anoe of the initials, or full name, of the spirit 00m- munioating.ini blood-red letters on the medium’s arm, often appearing on the smooth white skin while you are looking,and as readily disappearing,'to give plaoe to other names, both of wbioh refute the oharge that the letters are produoed by a diamond ring, Spirit-hands are formed and exhibited in tbe full light of day, or brilliant gas-burner, and the names of spirits are written or spoken as readily a» the oommunioating spirit might do if still embodied, and this, too, when the inquirer and his antecedents are 'alike • wholly unknown to tho medium. On.sev- eral oocasions have 1 seen a ponderous piano forte roll out from the wall, when no person Stood or eat within three or font feet of it, dften occurring while Mr. Foster was busily engaged In writing at a table several feet from the piano. I have reoeived some exoellent' tests from spirits, whloh I may give to the publio in future. •

The spirit photographs taken in. Boston have awakened considerable Inquiry In the minds of both Bplritualists -and: soeptios, and1 all aak earnestly to kuow its truth; yet wait patiently ; for if itis a faot, we canpfford to-wait; if a dtlunim, as many seem In- cllped to believe, it. is better net to deoide hastily. Yet we know the great and good oauBe is prosper­ing ; the bereaved of earth reoeivo consolation from the ." ooean! of unseen intelligences, that surround us everywhere,’’ and the people are advanoing, in *bedienoe to the will of our great and good Qod, who oalls through tbe voices or angels to mankind to <• come 1 up higher.": Bad looks and sorrow-stricken hearts multiply, for the Angel -of Death has beenbusy on the blood-stalned battle fields, gathering thespirits of onr brave atid noble sons and brothers Into the fold of -immortality | and sable garments tell of ftmily olrele* broken, homes made desolate, and loving hearts tom with anguish beoause ot loved onsa son’s to spirit-lifo by the red hsind bf revolution.

[Reported fpr the Banner of Light.]The third Annual Meeting of Bradford oounty

ProgreBBlonlsts, or Bplritualists, was oonvened, aa per notioe'lh the Banneb, and waa attended by aa increased audience, who plainly evinoed a deep in­terest in the proceedings. .

The meeting was called to order by H. M. Miller. Mr. Wm. Palmer, of Big Flats, N. Y., wa» chosen President, who mado a few pertinent remaks, thaa introduoed bis companion—a good trance speaker. ‘

Mrs. Palmer spoke earnestly in relation to the best means of human improvement—tba while de­nouncing the tendenoy of our nation to Material, ism; and urging advancement ln Xnterior culture, and41 vital reform.” '

Mrs. H. M. Miller said: We oame here to perpet­uate the World’s cause—the cause of Truth. Even religious system had given some truth to the world.All things were steps in Progress. And in time even what is oalled Spiritualism, might be super­ceded by higher truth. AU that removes Buffering, and fraternizes the race, is of benefit. Bbe spoke in an earnest mauner of tho truthB of Spiritualism— deolared that in. its light, death was glorious, and growth iu reform equally dear; and urged all to look kindly upon’tfaose of different opinions, and im­partially seek for wisdom, everywhere.

W. H. Johnston, at Afton, New York, made hia dthut. He gave quotations and remaiks, shedding powerful light upon tho mysterious origin of the Bible.

H. M. Miller spoke of tbe necessity of an improved literature, and the great need of more active efforts, to oiroulate progressive books and papers, and liter­ary works of general information—claiming that ignorance was the forte of conservatism, aud preju­dice a rugged barrier in tho way of spiritual ad­vancement. ■

Rev. I. Gates, of Williamsport, wished tbe privi­lege of showing the evil influenoes of our.doctrines, whioh he very muoh distorted. He “oould prove its tendencies to be immoral', degrading, anti-Christ,. opposed to the Word of God, and tbe biggctt lie He devil ever told." *-

Our venerable friends, Mr. and Mrs. Palmer re­plied to him, followed by Mrs. Miller, which pnt a quietus upon bim until the olose of the Iasi session.

Wm. H. Johnston then ottered the following reso­lutions, whioh were received with warm interest and without objection;

Jletolved, That as originality is immortality, and progress as universal a a truth ia world-wide, therefore tbe worship and imitation of other men to tbe negleet of ourselves—as well as devotion to an isolated troth to the ignoring of tbose of equal importance, whieh are as yet In the foreground uf our advancement—tends to belittle the h u i n a n mind, retard tbe onward maroh of the race, and culminate in popularized organiza­tions, which fear unlimited discussion, agitation and investigation. .

Jletolved, That while pledged to trnth wherever fouud, w e at the B a m e time consider the realm of Na­ture the holy ground upon which to find lt. That as progress is a common law, all written productlons, all human natures are aa yet but the imuerftat reflection of Nature's divinely intelligent principles. .' Jletolved, That while wo recognize and enforoe the nrgentneed of that interior and spiritual culture te which intercourse with spirits prompts, we no leas in­culcate tho broadest oharity for and active energy In behalf of those practical reforma which tend to elevate tbe race.” ' >

He then gave a lengthy ahd el&bl^te address in advooaoy of the principles of tbe “ Bfarmonial Phi­losophy,” advisiug tbo application of its_priuolpl«a to remove the various evils of soOiety. ^ , ,

This young man baa ever diligently dovoted Jilm- self to tbo study and investigation or natural prin­ciples; has been au extensive reader of history and treatises upon the various sciences, and oame well prepared to instruot aud entertain tlioje who heard blm. He was listened to with an unusual Interest, and nearly all who heard him supposed bim to hate bad considerable experience in publio speaking. He is solfmado, and bids fair to make tbis age (at least) know and feel that he possesses a mighty in­telleot and moral courage sufficient to allow hlaii fearlessly^ combat error and unmitigated opposi­tion wherever he finds it. Neither s;aoe nor my- ability will permit of doing this new speaker *mp}e- luatioonow. , -

H. M. Miller spoke in favor of every one being re­sponsible for his or her own conduot, instead of ask­ing another to suffor for that of which he waa aot- guilty. He conclusively showed that no one oonld-)evade the, penalty attaohed to violated'laws. E |(wone, must suffer for the wrongs wbioh they,,4a*. Thereis nopoirorin tbo Universe whloh oan assist, us toesoapd the penalty of. the least violation of lair.

'Mi's. H: M. Miller Invited orltioism. She spoke veiy.elpqnently and at length upon the divine na­ture. The pleasant meeting olosed with an ani­mated disoussion ^tneen the Rev. Mr. Gates and’ M s. Millor,11 from,which' the former beat ad'inglo­rious retreat,” in whioh his own brother lent- him good advioe and eopie physical foroo, to cut loose hia bombast and blaokguardi»mrand quicken hls pape:

JThe general progress and prosperity of . the loyal 8tates, that a » not snoumbered with slsvery, b u seldom ebovn more; favorably tban at the present time. Tho Western States, If » e exoept those whlob retain a remnant of slavery, and from divided loyal* ty aod flaotpatlng polioy'bate beep ravaged by ar­mies and plundered by guerrilla bands of land pi­rates, bare never presented more extensive and flat­tering prospects of agricultural prosperity and im­provement. Boarcely au instauoe oan be found where a farmer baa abandoned, or postponed build­ing, or making pn improvement on aooount of the war, unless it wasbecause he oould not fln(1 men t0 do the work. . j .

It is rare, ind&d, to flnd a-person whd baa lost oonfldenoo in tht permanency of our institutions, or. the ability of the Government to orush out the re­bellion, however muoh some disappointed, politicians may talk on the eve, or heel, of an eleotlon; even these glvo the lie to Ihelr words, by their aotions and desire to get ioto office. The people, of the West have the fullest confidence In the ability of the loyal; Btates to maintain absolute jurisdiction over all the National Territory Inside or outside of 8tate sovereignty, and twloe they.have shown their ability to do their share of the work by driving the rebel armie9 aoross two Slave States into the.sparoeljr sot- tied regions of ootton and cane, and have taken and still hold the important cities and strongholds of Western rebellion, and wait for the East to fetch up its end of the army. But the army of the Potomao has faltered nnd failed, and delayed and disappoint­ed the West and the oountry at large, and no wonder the people lost confidence in thejnanaglng officers, and yet the people, Eaat or West, have never lost

. confidence In the Government, or its powers, if prop- eriy exercised. Notwithstanding the failure of the

■campaigns in Virginia, whloh history will no doubt attribute to the tardiness, timidity, or disloyalty of Generals, (for the Boldiers and officers of regiments andoompanles, have fully proved it was not their fault or inability.) Still there is no lack of oonfl- denoe manifested in New England or the Middle BtateB. Extensive and expensive improvements are going forward in city and country, as If no war oon- vuisod us.

In Lowell, Mnss., every ootton manufacturing cor­poration is making more St less improvements as they are needed for inoreased business. Two have torn their mills down and built larger and better; the shares of stock have risen, and some of them have made more by rise of goods and shares since they stopped, than while running. Other and lesser manufacturing towns show corresponding signs of improvement and confidenoe.

The woolen mills aro orowding the laborers, and Often taking the hours usually assigned to rest The clothing establishments are orammed and orowded

: with busy men and women, and still tbe doorways are lined with posters oalling for laborers. The ship-yards and docks are musical with the sound of hammer and saw and derrick and track, and labor, ers ate wanted everywhere. No wonder, then, the volunteers oame slow at last, even at high bounties, and the draft brought reluotant men to the army. It was because business was so good at bome.

It is true there are some long faces and loud groans on aooount of the inoreased prioes of most kinds of goods, but suoh always follow suoh ohanges in prioes either way; hut It Is probable more have made money by it, than have lost as yet—the loss

1 will oome when prioes fall, not when thoy rise; but this hinges upon the ourrenoy whioh I will make the subject of another artiole. I am suro from personal observation, and extensive travel—for 1 have trav­eled in sixteen States the present year—that our country is in a high state of prosperity.

L o o k t o Y o n r O w n . tWe m ust first oherish that whioh is Onr Own, be

fore we shall have i t In onr power to do aught for other people. In faot, the power to do for others oomes only with the oertainty of flrst having done for ourselves. Dr. Betbuno—lately dead—once be. gan-a-d iscourse by saying that the £rst duty of every man was to keep his family off the town, This is praotioal and sen sib le ; tu thmgs go,I t is\as maoh one of the laws of Nature as anything else is whioh goes more s tr ic tly by that name. As Em­erson says, in one of his Essays—“ You come to me w itb areq u cB t that I should give half a dollar for the benefit of the poor: are they tny poor ? lo a n give them Love, but what right has any man to ask of me my Money 1” Mot that he deems money the more preoioue, by any means, but be waa positive tbat that, at least, was bis own, and not another’s,

Bun over the history of the ohuroh; or of organ­ized institutions of any sort: the single faot and lesson that orops out of the whole of it is this, that in concentration of resouroes and eoonomy of foroe the greatest possible results are sure to.be reaohed.So muoh is everywhere wasted I The economy of Qod’s Universe* preaches to us from eaoh mote and atom j not a flower but discourses in the>same strain from its little pulpit When we .expend our power

vain, we waste ourselves while we part needlessly with our resouroes; and it ought to be borne in mind muoh more than it is. -

Organized operations are, for the time, as natural as they are necessary. In a confused oonfliot of opinions and prejudices, it would be next to impossi: ble for any single theory, opinion, or class of opin­ions, or even for a demonstrated truth itself, to make permanent progress and effeot an undisturbed lodg­ment in tbe minds and hearts of the mass, without the aid of eome part of the great machinery oalled CoBperation. . That seems to be the talisman of the present age. It has given us inBuranoe oompanies, railways, steamers, coals, oils, gas,.and.a great num­ber of other oomforts and conveniences, by whose aid the world haa gone ahead-with muoh more ra­pidity than it oould bavp done without; them; for they have furqiebed as ali witb.new and- more plen­tiful security against failure and poverty, and pro vidod for as that degree of leisare which is the very orown and glory of human existenoe.

the inferenoe arises very natujraUy in the mind of alL , Bo long, as you adrooate, becauso you believe in and wiBh for the euooess of certain creeds, doctrines, or principle—it is the most natural thing you ban do, and of course the best thiug, to turn in all your help to the advancement of your own faith. And suoh is found to be tbe case generally. If you be­lieve in your minister, you will of oourse support him; and when you view the matter differently, as by losing confidence either in him or his dootrines you will just as surely withdraw tbat support lf yon are fed and nourished with the partioular news­paper wbioh advooates the great truths by wbioh yonr life itself is anohored fast, you will as Boon part with your own being as refhse to sustain tbat wbioh brings yon suoh a fund of permanent Joy. There is a necessity in these matters; and yon can no more esoape from them than 'you oan from your­self. ■ -v

While the law of sympathy Is what it is—tbo. un­derlying, interpenetrating, all-comprehending law of human existenoe and growth—we oannot live unless we obey-ita 'tequirements to the last letter. We mean tbat lifeokn never be real and worth the while; It may pass along, but it will not plow un­der. And* obeying tbis law of sympathy and love, we are oalled upon by every consideration that can be named, to do for the bause which we individually oberisb, before we waste our foroes on wh*t we have no living, aympathy with. We mnst needs support our ;own speakers, sad.sustain our own organs of thought and sentiment > We must’ either be positive in our own cause and onr own behalf, or the posi- tiveneas of otbtfra, in th«ir sabsmss and theories, will event deprLvq -ns of trbat'power we originally possessed* Btiok to your 6wn, aod s6 all others will1 reoeive,-benefit MAn must be well rooted and

•. . , H ow t o t a H o m e ., •:A oouple of weeks ago, we wrote and printed in

these oolnmns artiole on Housekeeping, In whioh we assumed /that no man oonld be really happy in tbis world without a happy Bame. We continue to etrengthen ourselves In. that • oonviotion, every day we live. Acd eo, when we see . proposal* pnt forth, on this side *nd .that looking toi tbe ohanoe of every man’s having a home In due time,for himself, where he may own -the fee simple-of every foot of rock, dirt, and eo ?n his estate, we.are made, newly glad with the dis^oviry. It must be( we thtnk, that the millenium means not muoh more than the day when everybody ehall have and eqjoy k home of his own.

Tbe.Wist.hw put out a great many'attraotive sohemes to the enterprising men of tbe. Ejwt, in the way of offering them land, in! large quantities at very low rabNli\and it is undeniable’ that it'has drawn off to*. Ita bosom an immense volnme;of eml-; grationB. NotJeSsfrom the East, either, than from nearly all the,European nations.' Our.older Btates, therefore, have'; ,beeu pretty; muoh overlooked, as well aa drainedlof their vigor and prodnotive power; and rioh lands, fat with promises to future genera­tions, still lie nnptowed right in the heart of State like New Yort and Pebnsylvania. Were the re- sonroes ofthe.^reat Empire State, for instance, to be duly comprehended by the majority of our peoi pie, they could > hardly contain themselves for the surprise they wbu)d feel at the new dlsoovery. j

An advertiaewTntia another part of the Banner, headed—" Oh»ap;Farhs Nbab Home lets ns into a series bf faot^ whioh surprise us with their tiov- eity .' Our goodfkieud, Professor S. B Brittan, there informs ns thatAhere are some forty thousand aores of nnimproved land iying in Hamilton, Cattaraugus, Warren, Genessee, Erie, Ontario, Saratoga, and other counties df thd Empire State,'for the immediate and unconditional disposal of whioh he is the appointed agent; and that these desirable lands, lying so near home, and,-whsitirthe railroads are flnlshed, within teven hours’ ridrct the oommeroial oentre of th)s oon- tinent, are toibe aold in qnaptities to snit the pur­chasers for the loW prioe of from twenty-fine cents (a ten dollars per itttrel The terms are—Caah or ap­proved securities.1 .; ‘ i

Now. what of these lands, thaa thrown open to the market, at a time when almost every one wants, and begins to resolve tbat be will have a traotof his own? We iearit that the& are combined within their limits all < the .souroeB; of wealth that any Btate could-Uk: for. More than half the entire tract lies in famous Hamilton County, and fifty miles wide fram the New York Central Railroad) the depot being atiAmsterdam. The soil is rioh and prodnotive; lakn,'1 streams, and forests abound; deer and other wild game are to be had for the mere seeking; the streams offer their shoulders all the way along to water-wheels, and the trout-brooks'ehf tloe all the orabk anglera from New York, Philadel­phia, and Boston! -Thete seems to be notbing left in that region whtoh heart oould ask for, nnless it might be more towns and oities; and these will grow up Just as 'M t as the lands themselves are taken.. •>' • *' • ' ‘ ‘ •' '■ •.’

These lands are some seventy-five miles from the Btate oapital.' You can.out'timber of all kinds upon the siopes«f.the hlR^'or plOJw up the rioh intervales, or stook the glades and pastures with thoasands of grazing oattle. A railroad, already graded—viz., tbe Hudson Biver and Lake Ontario—rune within a dozen miles of them, and a branoh railway, already surveyed,.,passes direotly through tbem already When these traveling and forwarding faoilities are completed, tthe traot will bo withiu aneasyaeve4 hours’ ride of New York City. : , . , j

It is a good deal, in these forlorn times, to be able to apply direotly to a .responsible party,' who oan put one in possession of what be ,would have, with­out any sort of duplicity or jockeying. It is .pre. sumptuous to connect;, the name of Prof. Brittan with any two terms Uke those.

Db. Lion.—The tendenoy of modern Spiritualism* is not to supplant tbe Churbh of Christ, bnt to devel­op It. The Cburoh of modern times is altogether different rrom the Churoh Instituted by Christ. Christ beld oommunion with the angel-world; the Churoh or to-day do6s not; . ' On the rock or angtUc communion Christ built his Churoh, aiid the gates of hell and the powers of darkness Bhall not .prevail against it. The Ohuroh haa oonfounded prinoiples with men; it has put man’s, wisdom in the place or aniel oommunion. Spiritualism shall not displaoe the prinoiples that Jesus taught, but it shall estab­lish them; It shall praotloally develop them; it shall revive and promulgate the misconstrued pre­oepts or the New Testament The darkness now in the Church was dlstinotly foretold- in the book of Revelations, and Bplrltuallsm Is tbe power, in the hands of angels, that shall drive away the dense darkness that now covers th e : Christian Churob. Perfection in inspiration is perfeotion in Christiani­ty. Spiritualism shall notjaupplant the Churoh or Christ, only the darkness that now oovers it.

Mb. Bbadpobd read a manuscript, in whioh be said that Spiritualism had startled the world with its unaooountable manirestatlons. The Cuuroh edlfioes or modern times are not the temples of progression, but of superstition. Reformer worshiped without temples, anywhere and everywhere, regardless ot thecushioned seats, the pleasant musio, and the manyluxuries ot modern temples'made and nsed for wor­ship. In the ohurches the few select and elect meet together for worship.: In Spiritualism all olasses ot men and all phasos of belletmpet together, for wor­ship. Spiritualism will banish every shadow ot error that does not bear the'Insignia ot truth.

Rev. Mb. Thateb.—It Is pjf opnviction that Spir­itualism will at some tuture period supplant all the popular theologies ot the world. First, because It ,1b more in harmony with reason, and, seoond, because it is more in harmony with revelation. The Church does not teaoh that Ull evil will be overoome-the Harmonial Philosophy, doei ,, Spiritualism teaches that all men shall ultimately come into harmonywith God. ' v '

Mb. Eimbb —Spiritualism in the Churoh has al­ways been all the life the Chnrch has had. I be­lieve A at all religious sects have been sustained by spiritual influences. I believe that the little spirit­ual power that Is already in the Churoh is not to be taken ont by modern Spiritualism, but Is to be re­vived, intensified and Increased. Modern Spiritual­ism shall break and burst the shell or materialism that now oovers the Churoh. The darkness now in the Churoh shall be banished by 8plrltuaUsm.

Mb. W oodwabd recited a long catalogue or beliefo in wh!oh the Churoh and Spiritualism did not agree, olalming that there was a great differenoe between the two. He olaimed, also, that thongh Spiritualism was not modern Christianity, it wbb true, primitive Christianity—that after it had gone through a thou sand years ot persecution, there was 'some prospeot ot its killing ont, Uie darkness of modem Chris­tianity. £ .

He left the mortal form In Sharpsburg. Md., which was brought on to this town by his devoted and suf­fering wife, to be Interred In the soil of his native clime. He gave his life cheerfully to bis couutry, and said be was nappy to die In the cause of Freedom. He was an honest, worthy man, respected and loved by all who knew him. It was his oft-repeated request that I should officiate at his funeral, and I was surprised to learn that the use of a church was refused, wherein to pay the last tribute to the remains of one who had la d down Mb life for his country. May God and his holy angels oomfort tho bereaved ones and hasten the day when God’B ohildren can all be permitted to enter their Father’s House on earth as well as in heaven.

There will be a larger recognition and expression ot spirit in the Cburoh ot Spiritualism than there has been I n the past. But the Churoh has been necessary— •it has had in it a certain use.; But, the present time demands a Churoh ot a form more talr and beautiful without, that shall oonform wtthJ the divine and beautirul soul within. There .must bo a , Churoh hgrn of tho skies. If we have, a spiritual and re ligions lifo, we cannot help the ultimation that must oome oot in.tfae organliation or a new Churob.

In v o c a t io n ,Oh, Holy Spirit or Reform, we would oast aelde

the atone rrom the sepulchre or humanity, and, in the progressive voioe of thy Great Llfo, would oall hnman bodIs from death to life. Oh, Spirit or the Hoar, we.would roll away the stone from the sepul­chre of humanity, and give that life to thy ohildren whioh they have se long been deprived of. .Our Father, we feel that'human souls have, too long slum­bered In the past, have too longrested in tbeir graves, hnd we, by thy power, we by tby love, desire lo bring

nataral for the mother to fcel a greater degree or af- feotlqn ifor 'hsr own obild - than, for th® children of another, Bbe live*, movea, and aota in aooord anoe with the laws of her natnre, and therefore will ever be magnetically drawn toward her ohild in luve be­fore all others. . . , . !

q.—How, then, oan we be Chrlstllke, and why are we not eelflsb ? ’

A.—Whatever is of Natnre Ib or God, and there* Tore impartial and nnsel&sh. A Jesns of Naiareth was possessed or a divine organism, to whioh .and through whloh the higher Intelligences were attract­ed and ponatantly manifesting themselves. Hn felt the full foroe of the law of love, and through blm were disseminated large foroes of love; and it would seem that be oould give of hlsTove to all humanity; bla nlantle of affeotion waa large enough to afford a oovering to all God's ohildren. But this was bnt a

Culiar oondition or his Bpiritual and divine organ* i, and not in any way the result ot hls own indi­vidual efforts as a mortal.

Q—What is meant when it Ib said tbat the seven had berjto wife, and whose wife shall she be ln heaven. ' "

A.—“ In the resurrection, therefore, when they sliall rise, whose wire shall she be or them for the aeven had her to wife.” The answer was, *• For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but--are as the

, angels whiob are In heaven,” ahd Seeking their - , proper mates, not after the fashion of mortals upon. 'the earth, bat aooording eo spiritual and divine will.' Therefore that whloh is united upon earth, sball be

dijrldt'd or broken In the spirit-land.Q—I suppose you refer to the legal, and not to the

real. ' ;A.—We do.q ,— i>o you consider our marriage law a good one ?

.. A.—We oonsider it tbe jiest that tbe time and your present oondition will admit of, and would enjoin obedience to tbat whiob is the law of yonr time. And though tbere is much that is more glo­rious, more beautiful than this self-same marriage law or yours, still we would have you render strict obedience to tbat whioh Ib the law of your time, for tn so doing* you in a measure: render obedience to God. -

Q.—At the samo time should we not seek to know and understand self?

A.—Most oertainly. Seek to know self, to become better acquainted with lhe God that dwells within your owo being, and ir yon underatandself you will make very fuw mistakes in life, and seldom be found lamenting over an unhappy marriage. Wben Jesus was questioned by the ohief prieBts and scribes in tbe temple, as to whether it were lawful for them to give tribute unto Coosar, he oalled for a. pennythem to life again. Ob, thou Holy Spirit of Reform. lrluulo uu,„ UD „ „ „

we feel tbat thou art marching with the nationSj/i ^ n(j unt0 themi Whose is this image andthat thou art writing by power, by love, upon all buman hearts. And oh, Holy Spirit, In unison with thee.and thy law, we would .work now.nnd forever. Amen. Nov. 6.

Questions and Answers. ,Ques.—Will the slaves gain their freedom by this,

war VAns__Most oertainly they will. /Q.—U it of muoh longer duration ?A.—Acoordlng to yoar measurement of time, it

will last muoh longer. There are many elements in ' your human oonditions that must be orushed out

ere you are established upon a firm and enduring basis of 'peace. '

Q —Are we to understand that slavery ia_the prin­cipal oause of this war? "

A.—You are to understand so, if you can look into the mirror of-life und see what a dark and un­sightly pioture is tbere imaged. You bave noutisbed a festering sore with you for many centuries, and it .were; high time that tbe Almighty poured bis heal­ing balm upon it. It were high time tbat yeu were a free people. I know you havo written freedom upon your walls and inscribed it upon your banners; but in your hearts you have felt no freedom, no right to liberty, no rigbt to pursue the dictates of your own condolence.

Q.—Will foreign nations.interfere ln this war?A.—It is quite possible they may. You need not

be' at all surprised if you receive intimation of for­eign intervention nt no far distant time. However, that will depend in a great measure upon the condi-

■ tion of their own people. If they are aotive to throw off the yoke that binds their peasantry, they will not in all probability meddle with your affairs; but ir they do not rouse themeelves to aotivity upon their owo shores, then they will bo very likely to take advantage or your present dislraot&d oondition to interfere in your national affairs.

Q.—Will you give us your name 1 _A,_I have no name.- 'Tis-enough that 1 am with

you to-dny as a'free and independent spirit. The name 1 had on earth rests with my body. Tbe name I now bear is not the one 1 was known by wbcn an Inhabitant of tho earth. You may call mo Truth, as I shall endeavor to give you truth. • ■

Q.—Do I understand you to say that you have •hanged your name since taking up your abode in the Bpirit-land?

A._You are to understand that the earth-name Ibore ib no longer mino in spirit land. That Blum- bers with my body, and I desire it always may.

Q—Can you tell as wby the magnetio pole shifts- from place to plaoe ?

8pirit.—Are.jroa sure that it does change its plaoe? .

Q.—We are told bo. ..8.—We do not think it doeB; but the conditions of

life enoompassing it, or its surroundings, are in reali­ty what ohange, and. not tbe magnetio pole itself. True, it does not so seem to you. „

Q.—Of wHfct does the magnetio pale opnslst?A.—Of tbat subtle gas you understand to be eleo-

, tricity, positive and negative.Quhtionu.—I believe that is not in acoordanoe

with the b&oks of philosophy.A.—True, it Is not; but to our mind it Is plain

. ind honest truth.- " Q__Why do those spirits that communicato at

. <thls plaoe locate their friends at suoh a dlstanoe ' from us as to render Investigation oqnoerning the

troth ,of their statements almost impossible nf>on ' ear part f

’ ' A.—We are not aware that this is so. On the con­' trary, we believe that nine-tenths or the spirits oom- Tmunlbatlng at this plaoi hate friends living In Such

doee proximity to you tbat you oan readily asoer- .tain the oorreotness or falsity or their statements.

‘ ^roe, there aro many spirits who visit your oirole , that have friends living in distant oities and towns;

' ta t : It is onr desire, our purpose, to give place and time to all who visit ns, prowled they do so with a (Metre to promote the good of humanity, aud to idea-

,?tify themselvee to their friends lu mortal;Q.—U it not trne that one Ib as mnob to blame as

-Mother in thls'clvll war of ours ?; It is/most oertainly. And if man would bnt

l bwjsult the God within himself, tbe holy monitor ' tkat dwells within tbe souls of all God’s ohildren, he

"I'irWld; scarce be fonnd taking up arms against his ] brother, or seeking in any way to injure the inter- •, eets of his fellow-oreatures.

- Q - Are there any spirits hovering near, who wish to oommunicate at tbls time? ,

A.-—There are thousands, many thousands.Q.—A n there any from our recent1 battle-fields ?

, ■ a .—Ye4 many thousands, who have been sent to I the aplrlt world almost without a moment’s warning, , and before their proper time. -■ Q—Is the Idea true or false tbat ln the spirit life ' we are to feel those same family ties that we do here

On earth ? . ' 'v , A*-“We believe tbat you will feel those Same ties . of affectlon ln the spirit land that were yoara upon ; the earth, aad that whloh is a ohild In intensity with t. ion here,-ls a full-grown person wlth you in tbe

ipirit-world This feeling of affeotion you now feel forjia^lipptber here Is but an,infant, and strength- ans aad enlarges iteelf with the growth of the spirit.

superscription? Aod the answer waa, It is Cm- s a r’e.” And he then advised them to Tender unto Cposar the things that Were Coajar’s, and to God'the things tbat were. God’s, Now we would advise all mortality to render due obedienoe to all olvll or mor­tal law. It is easy to do this while you are happy in all the relations of earthly Ufe. But wben un­happiness is your lot, you stand trembling, and fear Xo go forth and grasp at tbe realities of Nature, hardly understand bow to render obedienoe to tho laws that bring you only sorrow instead of happi­ness. But if you oast aside aU fear of publio opin ion, and demand of Nature’s God enough of happi ness to serve you while' you> sball dwell upon tbe earth, believe us, you will reoeive it, for God never denies his earthly ohildren those gifts whioh he feels to be absolutely neoessary to their oomfort and wel- Tare herearter.

Q —What would you say or that olasB of people who have oome together under the marriage law without possessing any qualifications for rendering eaoh other happy 7 .

A.—We should pity them and deplore tbelr sad oondition. But tbe furnace fire through which snob unfortunate ones must pass will oause them'to be regenerated, repurified, and be the means of making tbem more perfect, more fit to enjoy the glories of the spirit world. We woiila suggest that suoh un­happy ones turn within theoloset of tbeir own .be­ing for counsel, and if the Almighty tellB you to oon tinue under those marital relations, whioh are tbe souroe of so muoh sorrow and misery to you, it is your duty to adhere to those vows you have taken npon yourself, until God shall see fit to dissolve those relations through death. But if that voioe says, Cut asunder the bonds that bind you together as man and wife, and seek suoh happiness as the world oan afford you, apart from eaoh other, then by all means do bo, for the precepts of God are right and just.

Come, when you are in donbt, and reason with tbe God of your, nature, aod believe ns, that God will make all wrong right We know there are many thousands writhing in agony tinder the yoke or the marriage law, but we know at some time they bave violated that'law, it may be unwittingly, doubtless Is, but the visitation or punishment Ib ju B t tbe same as i f they oonsolously sinned against that marriage law. If there were no penalty for laws trampled opon, whether oivil, political, or spiritual, there would be nb peaoe, no harmony, for through sorrow you learn wisdom, and by wisdom you march up the steep of life.

Nature has given you an Indei to the oapaoities of the hnman spirit, or the soul of- man, and If ybu learn to read those indexes, you never. need make any mistakes, never need fold a serpent to your bos som, or walk hand in band through life with' your enemy. The time is coming, yea, is even nbw with you, wben the angels will assist you in reading tbose indexes aright, and in unfolding that whiob seems to lie olosely wrapt in the mantle of mystery. Seek the aid of those who are olose around you in spirit- life', and some one or more of that angel band, whose mission it is to attend yoa through life in mortal, will give you Btrength and power to read those in­dexes of the human spirit, and soon, Instead of liv­ing in tbe tomb,<yon will find yourself standing np- o’nT the hill-topi of Liberty and Freedom, and sur- roundi................... ............. ‘ “roonZleckby the light of Almighty God.

Questions uid Answers.Ques.—Does the soldier who dies upon the bat­

tle-field die a natural death ? And what are his sensations at the tlme. of and Immediately after death? ' , '

These are the questions we have been desired to epeak upon this afternoon. - ■ ■ ’ .-

Ans.—There are no. natural deaths save those which take plaoe in ripe, old ager Then the spirit is gently sundered from its physioal body, orits rela-: tions with Its mortal body are bo quietly dissipated,1 that there Is no perceptible ohange; there Is bnt a passing oat bt the relative cbndliton or lire, and en­tering upon another, which is more spiritual and more divine. Immediately after suoh a death, or rather birth, Into the splrit-land^ the spirit becomes free; and, being in full,possession of Its faoulties, at odce re&tiieS intuitively Ita oondition in the world Cf sptrit'bksbUL When the eleotrioal lamp of life -hath burned tip ihe last of the material foroes, and that lamp hath gone out quietly, then wo peroelve a nat­ural death, or natural birth Into the Splrlt^wbrld. But whenever there is an)1 violent sundering of re­lation’s that exist betweenthe two bodies, then there is ptrwrted law ; the'obnditioilB are unnatdral, and consequently attended'1 with more br less sorrow. .‘ When the Individual who dies npon the battle-field IS flret; bronght into rapport with death, or that bhaiige which is called (death, he bbllejei that the WhOlo unlverso hath been suddenly, or; violently shboked ; that the shbok la ndt alone dub io him as Sd lndlvldaaVbut thav'all the universe hathtilt l t immediately after'lioni a death has kaken plaoe. a dense darkness’ otershadowi the vplrlt,'and'that Spirit le lost in upoopMlbdBaess , to optwHiLpbleotsi orluother wbrds,lt,(haStioknowwdM ofju oondll t'M Sasa spirit;n'oyt^iik(^ldh)pb(i;tn4 World fjjilw Itual and Dirine; bbttuselt Is'feorM yet j& kfaid

Yoa are told that many of the in­habitants or the splrit-world experience only sonow, that they are exceedingly unhappy and dissatisfied With their oondition as spirits. NoW this Is So from the faot of their having been'sent to the spIHt-worid before tbeir proper time, or jig other words, because tbey.met death by violence.. But it is no more eo with regard to the .soldier than with the euloide, or with those, whp die in early youth.- And again.we toll you, we know pf no natur tl deaths among mor­tality, save those that take, place in ripe old' age; for when the physioal body has finished Ite work, when the spirit Hts drank therefrom'the last-force of vital life, and: it ia :no longer necessary to the growth and development of the spirit of man, then the change ,whioh, you call death - takes plaoe, and there is scaroe a moment intervening between the oonsoious spirit in^mortal life, and tlie obn8o!ous spirit in spirit-lifo.' - ■ , . ■ . :' If there is any gift, of Nature yoa ought to pray- for more than: all othera, i t i s that you may die a' natural deathV Although popular theology Sometimes speaks largely In favor of death ln infanoy; although the lips of your popular teaohers oftbn enunciate things that tbey honestly believe to.be right, never­theless, we deolare ■ unto you that you, are,to set aside all forms or right and wrong that are estab­lished in art, ahd livo In striot acoordanoe with the laws or Nature, ir yon would be hapjiy ahd contented in that rature world that sball never know an end­ing. Seek to die naturally, that you muy bb born naturally into' the splrlt-woild ; that you do not go to the spirit-world before you bave finishbd'your work upon tbe earth, and then, by1 the foroe of ne. cesBity that ia ever backed1 np by eternal law, be obliged to return; and walk over those same rough paths of life again, in order that your mission npon tbe earth may be fulfilled, and that peaoe and hap­piness may at last be yours in tbe world of Spirit

The soldier who rails upon the battle-field dies no natural death. The, fine and delicate cords of life that bind, the 'Bpirit to the ^physical body, are vio lently sundered, rudely out apart, and ihink you the .vibrations of that shock are not folt by the sensl- tive spirit ? Think you that the spirit or the soldier does not suffer deeply in oonsequence or its sudden and unnatural aeparation from the phyaical body, that has so long encased it?

Verily, we tell you, it doeB. When the unnatural spirit in spirit-life hath become possessed orits spir­itual body, which is to enable it to grasp the oSndi- tionB of eternity, it at onoe recognizes that it hath oome to the spirit-world prematurely, and deplores with more intensity of remorse its condition as a spirit than it is possible for mortality to oonceive of.

Oh, these wondrous .maobines of life arealike hu­man and divine I They contain within themefjves the vast volume of immortality ; yea within your own being is a fountain of eternal life. Then read of its pageB, drink from its fountain, and-earneBtly pray that you may die naturally. ' :

THE PECUNIARY VALUE OP A LIBERAL FAITH.

A Leoturo by Hiss Lixiie Doten, hefore the Sooiety of Spiritnaliits, in Lyoenm Hall, Boston,

Sanday Afternoon, November 30,1887.

[Bepwted for the Banner of Light.]

Miss Doten. olosed her oonrse of leotnres before this Sooiety on Bunday, November 80ih. The hall

'was orowded to its utmost capacity, afternoon and evening. ^As usual, she gave two able and interest­ing dlsooKM9t|whloh were listened to wilh marked attenUoiSrca$the olose of her evening ad iress she gave a poem. , •

< The subjeot of the afternoon’s ■ dlsoourse was “ ThePeaaiiary Value of a Liberal Riith." « And he said nnto ihem, take heed, and beware of oovetons- ness: for a man's life oonsisteth not in the abun- danoe'of the things whiob be possesseth." Perhaps the most sensitive part of a man is his pooket.. It' is a trite saying, that •• If you want to find ont a man's nature, put your hand into his pooket.” Many men are so sensitive that the moment you tonoh their pookets they^will start np like-a.gah. vaulted dead body. What*is tho religion of a man, if it is not that which he worships most deeply ?

_And if^he looks upon his worldly possessions as tho. deaiest objeot* and’ aims of life, are they not tbe objeots of his worship ? It is a lamentable faot that tbere are more worshipers in the temples of Mammon than thore are in tbe Temples of Saint Peter. .. : -

There are sinoe re worshipers in the Temple of Mammon: thoee who believe in tbe Almighty Dol. lsti-tho*o who believe in the prinoiples of trade, and endeavor to'carry out those principles by bay­ing low and selling high; those who believe in the expression, tbat ‘‘ oharity begins at home "—and Ike assertion is no exaggeration. But where does the devotee of .Mammon find the religion of the •out? That oertainly needs nourishment, that it may expand and grow strong for its eternal'mission beyond the vail. Deprive the sonl of its spiritual sustenance, ob worshipers of Mammon! and what an unenviable and miserable oondition you oreate for yourselves I ' V

Bot you ask of what peouniary advantage is a faith whioh relates to a man’s own sonl ? There is something sublime in tbe nature of man that will not let him be bound, and beoause of this nature he must beoome a progressive being. A man’s life doea not oonsistof the amount of wealth ho pos­sesses, haV the spiritual attainments he mayao- quire. . As mandevelopes, he takes on liberal forms and engenders liberal sentiments.’ Tbe Unitarians date furtherest baok in the adop­

tion of llbentl pentiments, and the trntha whtoh toey disoovered have been borne down to the present d» f . The Unitarians are liberal, oultivated and re- in od jb u t when Theddore Parker presented to them

V th* Bible, and exhibited Its demonstrable errors, and ■•todUum why they persisted In offering It tb the Iw W .a* a work of infallible truth—of Divine in-

liftrailou—the/became alarmed, and cried out: Oar i;/l*. In danger—it i« well to be Uberal,.bnt we

it'feot open the fold aod let ont the poor, igno­rant sheep to wander in the fields of error.

, ^ - N a X In the prdet of liberal septiments oomes tho 0/ Unl ve realists, mth their belief id tbe entrance of the

soul into eternal.hsppineu immediately on its exit fivft thU world. John Murray dared preaoh liberal

^'ftentimenU, notwithstanding the violent opposition irali^ agtinst h l^ and eo have theapostles who

' followed /him, and they bave made many oon verts,.' eaohseotolaimlng that (heirsls the most liberal faith, for they are no longer, obliged to buy absolution. Bat wltk all iheir liberality of faith there oame lim­itations, And oOibioaters arose W lirgo numbers.

Bat B/irihutlim seems to have porno, as the last- t o n daughter. its broad, liberal and i|>lrltaallted Wth, tm from ^|l shackles afiderM * isftftt draw-

entire mind of the sooial system—permSatitig and | reconstructing the whole fabrio of sooiet^/It is bringing to earth, through its inspired~oraoles, the wisdom and teaohings of'the higher lire—the world to whioh we are all wending, and of which we have heretofore known so little. . It is bringing tbe light and truths of the dlvine'klngdom to onr very doors. The whole human family feel its effeots. It is revo­lutionising the whole worlcl. And all-this we have for comparatively nothing. Then, we ask, it there not a pecuniary advantage in a liberal faith ?

Ministers of tbe Gospel are beginning to throw aside their own written productions, as Tar inferior to the inspiration of mediums, and, invoking the same inspiration, give forth, free and spontaneously, thoughts fresh from tho spirit-world, uttering truths wbioh they themselves do not yet fully comprehend and these Inspirational efforts are far more aoceptable to their auditors, who are hungering and thirsting for the Bread of Life. This is proved by tbe faot that tbe most popular preaohera of the daycare those who speak jnst as the inspiration of the moment from the higher life moves them:. Spiritualism is even now making rapid advances

in the sciences on known laws, as well as discover­ing new ones. It says to soience: You know a great deal,.but I know a great deal more-r-the inspiration wbioh is pouring through me i9 giving me light find suggestions which challenge philosophers to aocount for or gainsay.

"Jt Spiritualism worth anything to. humanity?" To it we are indebted for a ohange In every depart, ment of thought and labor. We need not now build oostly temples—God dwells not in temples made \{lth hands, but is everywhere, and Spiritualists oan wor­ship Him In the broad.teipple of Nature, or under the humble roof.^We do not have to send missiona­ries abroad to oonvert th e11 Borraboola Gha,"tbe Hindoo, the Hottentot, or South Sea Islander, for we think we have enongh at home who are far less ad­vanced In spiritual light than those untaught » hea­then,"who are so free from dootrines and creeds that their-sonls partake mo,re freely of inspiration.

It is trne yon support a sort of missionary system in your mediums, who go fo r t t^ io all parta of tbe land, spreading the Inspiration'which is imparted unto them, but this is not a very expensive item, for the poor medium barely reoeives suffioient remunera­tion to supply the neoessary wants.of life.

Thenthere is the traot systin^whioh doe* not fall on us as an onerous burden, for eaoh one of ns Ib a tract distributor—a living oraole—to dissenSI- nate tbe truth.'-'lt Is not so-with the otber denomi nations, for they.ar? heavily taxed, and pay freely, that their peculiar dogmas may be broadcast over the world. Truly, it there no peouniary value in a liberal faith? • .• -

Look, for a moment, at yourselves heie in Botton. You are not obliged to pay a high salary for a pop­ular preaoher, and yet you receive more liberal sen­timent snd spiritual trqth from this pulpit than is sent forth from all the other pulpits'in-Boston FronUMs platform the truth Is sent direotly home to your hearts. The windows bf heaven are opened, and the rays of divine light are poured in upon you, and you are privileged to partake freely of the spir­itual repast Yet some of you oomplain that you pay your mediums too muoh—fifteen dollars afweek —ror their servioes. But the mediums do not aver­age that sum ; for they are oftentimes sick, and obliged to give up their engagements, and then their pay stops. It is not so with the high salaried min. Ister; if he is ailing, he is sent on a tour on the Con­tinent of Earope, while hls salary goes on the same, and often his traveling expenses are defrayed. Snt Who ever heard of a medium being sent abroad for his or her health I Dp they'ever inquire if her every day wants are met ? Do they ever say, Rest, sister, from your labors, and we will pay your ex­penses tbe meanwhile ? And yet the mediums, have hard work to feed and olothe themselves deoently and pay the dootors’ bills ;i and many of them have to make and. mend their pwn olothes* Theodore Parker, wlth-all hia genius:fend towering Intelleot, nerer made a ooat or 'pair of pants; nor do, we over hear of the brilliant Beeoher doing his own washing. Yet yonr medium leoturers are obliged to do these things for the want of means to pay for its being done frt them { ani yet some of you complain of their too high salaries, and too HM dresses’.

Your meetings are not expensive. Let us see if they are at these rates: Fifteen dollars for a speaker,

againstIt’tS Then will you not support your meet*. ^ beware of oovetousnessi ; ' ; .

I f this truth is precious to yoa, then support it, that the world mritije benefited by it, for It wiil do good. I f you rftjfie to sustain yoar mediums, thei wealth of the heavens will be bast at'their feet, and tbe gold whloh you have retained will burn into your souls I Spiritualism Is mighty,in' its influenoe upon the hnman.'raoe. It brings to earth the beagtles of the spirit-world. Like theoapitol at Washing­ton, you asoend the spacious stepq, and pass -along the corridors and balls, fiilecf with the works of art brought from the shores of the old world, and the various specimens of mechanism, revealing tbe won­derful skill and genius of man. You look upon tbese gems of genius with wonder and admiration. You pass on through tbe spaoloua building till you come to the rotunda, and then you look upward and behold the clear, bine sky—for the dome is Incom­plete, the funds giving out before it was finished— and there is.no appropriation to finish the noble edl- floe. Let- not Spiritualism give out for' want of means to carry it on. As the light given you by the loved ones,from the other world pours iu at the win­dows of yonr souls, may you feel an earnestness and desire that mothers may enjoy a like blessing. So give whatever you bav& to spare, and then the work will go on, aiding and blessing all, . . :

Some of you think mediums hare no cultivation, and that'thero is no need of it, and this expense is saved to them. God forgive'you f6r your ignoranoe If they have no cultivation, as mediums they need it all the more. How often do, We hfear the English language outraged in the efforts of an uneduoated lecturer ? The more ednoated, refined and intellect­ual the medium, the mon pure oomes tbe Inspiration. Then wss onoe an effort made to establish a Spir­itual QolIegO for (he purpose of ednoating mediums. Had this plan been carried out, it woald have been a gnat benefit to Spiritualists. Bat it failed th n * ;h oonfousneas. -
