Prejudice, which be pretends to hate, is In-, abso- lute lawgivi r , mere use and wont ever lead him by the nose. Thus let but a Rising of the Sun, let but a Creation of the World happen twice, and it ceases fo lie marvelous, to be noteworthy, or noticeable. Perhaps not once in ;« lifetime loes it occur to your ordinary biped, of any country or Gen- eration, b e he gold-mantled Prince or rusv-f-jerkined Peasant, that )i;s Vestments and his Self are not one arid indivisible, that he h naked, without vestments, till he buy or steal such, and by forethought sew and button them. “ For my own part, these considerations of our Clothes- thatch, and how, reaching inward even to our heart of hearts, it tailorizes and demoralizes us, fill me with a certain horror at myself and mankind ; almost as one feels at those Dutch Clows, which, during the wet season, you see grazing delib- erately with jackets and petticoats (of striped sacking) in the meadows of Gouda. Nevertheless there is something great in the moment when a man first strips himself of adventitious wrappages, and sees, indeed, that he is naked, and, as Swift has ii, ' a forked, straddling animal with bandy legs yet lino a Spirit, and unutterable mystery of mysteries." Clothes: their meaning and use—“ The utility of clothes is altogether apparent to him ; nay, perhaps he has an insight into their more recondite and almost mystic qualities, what we might call the Omnipotent virtue of Clothes, such as was never before vouchsafed to any man. for example : You see two individuals,’he writes— ‘one dressed in fin. Red, the other in coarse threadbare Blue , Red says to Blue, " Be banged and anatomized.'" Blue hears with a shudder, and (0 Wonder of wonders ') marches sorrowfully to the gal- lows, is there noosed up, vibrates his hour, and the surgeon.-! dissect him and fit hie bones into a skeleton for medical pur- poses. How is this, or v/hat make ye of your Nothing ran net hut where it hi ? Red bar; no physical hold of Blue, no clutch of him, is nowise in contact with him ; neither are those ministering Sheriffs, and Lord-Lieutenants, and Hangmen, and Tip-slave* so related to commanding Red, that he can tug them hither and thither, but each stands distinct within hi:, own skin. Nevertheless, as it is spoken, so is it done ; the articulated Word sets all hands in Action, and Rope and Improved-drop perform their work. Thinking reader, the reason seems to rne two-fold : First, that Mon ii o Spirit, and bound by invisible bonds to All Men. Secondly, that he wean cloth':’-,, which are the visible emblems of that fact. Has not your Red hanging-individual a horse-hair wig, squirrel skins, and a plush gown, whereby all mortals know that he is a Jcuoi: ^ Society, which the more 1 think of it astonishes rne the more, is founded upon cloth. Often in :«y airabiliar moods, when I read of pompous ceremonial ?, Frankfort coronations, Royal Drawing-Rooms, Levees, Couchees, and how the ushers, and macers, and pur- suivants are all in waiting; how Duke this is presented by Archduke that, and Colonel A by General B. and innumerable Bishops, Admirals, and miscellaneous Functionaries are ad- vancing gallantly Lithe Anointed Presence ; and 1 strive, in my remote privacy, to form a clear picture of that solemnity, on a den, vs by some enchanted wand, the— shall I speak it '— the Clothes fjy off the whole dramatic corps, and Dukes, Gran- dees, Generals, Anointed Presence itself, every mother's son of them stand straddling there, not a shirt on them, and J know not whether to hug), or weep.

On last Sunday there was a spiritual gathering in the - Temple, morning and afternoon ; and addresses were made by the invisible in­telligences. Previously, some two or three weeks ago, assemblages were held to the number of one hundred; but from uopropitious ,

icses these dwindled away. Probably the friends will meet again on unday next On the afternoon of last Sunday I should judge the sc­ience numbered nearly two hundred.The opposition hare been engaged of late in the very noble work of hoofing- a female medium. There are some brave heart* hete that

I became acquainted with Mr. Chauneey Baroes, of the neighboring iliage of Fair Haven, evidence? of whose mediatorial powers have been

recorded in the TtLEoatFH. Mr. B. is an indefatigable co-worker with the Spirits ; an independent mao. and not in the least afraid of Mother Grundy, though she has a snug home in his village. Some remarkable

gs transpire from time to time through his roediumship, a con­densed account of some'of which, as told me, I stud you.

Being of late in the town of tVnDingsford, Mr B. and others formed . circle While sitting, awaitisg manifestations, a twenty-five cent ■ iecc was dropped, as it were, from the ceiling, and fell on the hoods ol me of the members of the circle. l a descent was witnessed by several riien another twenty-fire cent piece, emitting a shining light, o fly aroand the room.jost ns a bird would, fro: ittcmpt was made to catch the piece of money.Finally, after being seen by oil present, itrwa power out of trie opened door and deposited ' of the circle %

irgymaa of the Second Advent Church. After the ani/estions had been made, he stated that oa a certain oceaeion -If had taken from lib hand by unseen agency a s :s cent piece, impressed at the time for -what use it was appropriated—to

buy a loaf o ' bread fora poor widow. The question wa* here asked if tin? iaiprcsiion was correct, and a response was made in the affirma­tive. On another occasion the same gentleman had a ten cent pic re deposited in Lis pocket by. a* he believed, spiritual agency. There cx-

ences he had lately announced publicly to some of his congrega­tion.

In the latter part of last month Mr. B. paid o visit to Warren. Mass . where has been organized a circle somewhat similar to tbc “ Miracle Circle." The attendant Spirit* do not as yet permit a divclgenient of facts that may transpire therein While there n circle was formed, and a communication given, that a number of article? would be brought and dropped upon the table Shortly five or six cigars and a large quantity of pumpkin seed* fell upon the table.

In the year 1743 I attracted the notice of if . da k------, 3 r a : . ' - fiy ’ . :Brittany. Our acquaintance continued two years and 9 half from raase out all ti

the eommencement to the time of hie death. In hi* las: moments he midnight, owini had entreated me to tee him once more, bat I was pervusde.2 io deny J sphere, the request. He died, and had nobody v i ’h him but aa old lady and Now, friend Brittea, tintbe servants. He lived in the Boc!cr«-d3. I wa* accustomed to giro upper* to my friends au-i some actors. One erening, just u l had fin- shed a song and my guests were expraiicg rapturous applause, tbe dock striking eleven, at the tame moment we heard the most doltful

cry continued for a length cf time, and with so mournful nu emphasis that the guests were astonished and I fainted. I s short, the like noise

a* heard at tbe same hour for several night*, eeeraingto proceed frora • e air. It was heard by the neighbors ar.d the crSccra of police. ;

When I was from home my fomily heard nothing of it. One eveningI supped with De E------; be took leave of me a t tr.y door just a: that

unent we heard the tame noi*e. Another time Rcsely went with me purchase' an article and to pay c visit. He had little faith, sad on the 17 he requested me to coll upon my apparition. I did as be desired,

and the cry was repeated three times in a frightful manner. We re­turned home more dead than alive After this alarm I was not dis­turbed for several months by the noise. On the marriage of the Dau­phin I remained at Versailles for three day*. I retired to ray room, and Madame Gracdvale slept in tbe same bed. Just as I prepared to

ter the bed I happened to say, “ We are now for from the busy world d sceh bad weather, surely tbe noi±e will cot follow me here.’’ As aid this we heard i t again. We did not sleep that night I never

heard the same afterward. A week after 1 was sitting with mv friend* the hour of eleven ; wc heard the report of o musket tired against one

of tbe |>an(s of glass. We all heard it, saw the flash, yet uot a pane of injured. A watch wa* placed about my house. Notwith­

standing this precaution the same report was heard, and we coold cot discover whence it came (all this i* recorded in the registers o f the po- ice). One night the keeper of the privy purse and I were looking o a t ! if the wiedow; at that moment the report came and drove us nearly 1

dead io tbe middle of the room. Once again I hsard it when passing | the Boulevards. But the same noise was never hrard more: another bks the clapping of hands succeeded it. This was repeated, *ud up- ■ peared to be regulated according lo time or mease re A* the ir.du!- gence of the public had accustomed ma to hear sounds of that sort very frequently, I was inattentive to these sounds until my friends remarked to me tb*t it was repeated at tbc hour of eleven. •• We hear it verv distinctly, yet wc see nothing '* Some time afterward I heard certain melodious sound*. It teemed a* if a fine voice was bumming over an air. The sounds seemed to bagin at some litUe diatauce from me ; they were followed, distinctly heard, yet nothing wa* ever discovered that could oetcatioa them. At the end of two year* and a half nothing was heard extraordinary One day I wt* informed that an e.’derlv Isdv wished to see me. “ You are to know.’’ *aid s],e when I waited uponher, “ that I wa* the most intimate friend of M. de S___ -and the onlyone he permitted visit* from during the but year of hi* life. We have passed whole days together talking eoiely of you, one time speaking

I ° f J ou « divinity, another denouncing you to 1>; a fury. I conjured think of you no more, be declaring that his love ehould accom­

pany him beyond the grave. May I a!k you. Mademoiselle, why you tied one who so lovc-1 you, and why- yon did not give him the coti­llion of seeing you once more -T h e heart i* not to be controlled.’’

replied 1; •* he was a dcjerriog'man ; I had n partiality for him; but hi* pies were not consistent with propriety or justice; I therefore

broke off all connection with him. The rcasoD why I did cot vi*it hint in his last hours was became the sight would have overpowered my feel ings.

I M M O R T A L I T Y O F MAN.

In my former communication I, in substance, sairl, the the­ory indorsed by Spiritualism as to the origin of earth arul

i man, if carried out fully, would indicate that immortality is an element in man’s nature attained or consequent on a pro­gressive development, and not a part of his nature from the beginning. By immortality, 1 mean that “ spark of life, ol light, of fire” which we term tho interior soul— tho emana­tion from the G reat F irs t Cause— by and through which is cur spiritual body or organization sustained and preserved against all counter attraction and our identity as an intelligent individuality eternally assured. It will bo noted, therefore, that a distinction is made between the soul and the mind, and ! may here state that I regard the mentality or mind as a clothing in which the soul resides. Geology and spiritual teachings alike represent that in the early age of this planet the surface was barren of organized life—that in the progress of time the inherent elements and powers of the. mineral king­dom unfolded unto and introduced the birth of tho vegetable kingdom. T h a t this higher development was steadily pro­gressive in unfolding inherent elements and powers until it at­tained to and gave birth to the animal kingdom. T h is also, in the progress of time, stimulated by the same progressive law in its inherent elements and powers, attained to and intro­duced the human kingdom, each and all these unfoldings be­ing induced by a law of motion acting on chaotic m atter in ■rhich wore all the forms, principles, etc., thus brought out. In the foregoing premises and deductions it will be remem­bered that after an organized or vegetable life was unfolded, each kingdom sustained its continued existence under tho law ol reproduction, and scri ed as a basis lor the support of higher developments— while tho logic of the hypothesis is, that it was by the aggregate powers of a kingdom that u higher one was born or introduced. T o slate this more plainly— that the vege­table kingdom, as a whole, gave birth to the animal, tho animal kingdom la the human. As experience does not loach the repetition of such births on this earth, it seems to bo a neces­sity to infer m the urgurnent, that when the lower kingdom did thus introduce the higher, that lower kingdom had attained to its ultimate, and having thus attained became subject to ami a support ol that higher lt‘ this reasoning is correct, the question arises, what i» tin ultimate of m atter? In what king­dom in (lie universe does mutter attain to and obtain its high­est individualized form ? and it seems to m<- (he answ er is— that kingdom w here the law of reproduction ceases— the hu­man kingdom. But there is a higher kingdom than the hu­man—a kingdom where the laws of reproduction do not exist, whose inhabitants are supplied from the human kingdom, the Spirit-kingdom ; and it is the peculiar feature of that life— that the individual form or entity is eternally maintained against all luws of attraction or decay acting on matter, while its inhabitants nil in.rmiiiutc ns organized intelligent in­dividualities m a lower or humnn kingdom. T his brings mo l° the point—what does XpinUuhsm loach as to I lie ultimate o( matter, dn end and purpose us sought for from the begin­ning ' »f winch, With your porous*,,

In tho latter part of last mouth Mr. B. paid a visit to Warren, Mas*., where ha* been organized a oirole somewhat similar to the “ Miracle Circle." The attendant Spirits do not a* yet permit u dmilgetnont of facts that may trnn-pire therein. While there a eirele was formed, and

lominuuication given, that n number of articles would bo brought in and dropped upon the table. Shortly five or six cigars and n large quantity of pumpkin seeds fell upon the table There was 11 light in the room a\ the time, to that, the spiritual agency was unquestioned Then u piece of a spinning wheel came next This win afterward foundlo have been taken ........ house three miles distant—transported by iu-

In the year 17-13 1 attracted the notice of fj.de S in Brittany. Our acquaintance continued two years and a half from the commencement to tho time of liis death. In hi* last momenta lie had entreated 1110 lo see Him once more, but I was persuaded to deny the request. He died, and liad nobody with him but nn old Indy the servants. Ho lived in the Boulevards. 1 was accustomed to give supper* to my friends and some actors, One evening, juat us I had fin­ished a song nml my guests were expressing rapturous applause, tho lock striking eleven, at the same moment we heard the most doleful ry continued for n length of time, and with so mournful an emphasis

that the guests were astonished and 1 fainted. In short, (ho like noise was heard at tho name hour for several nights, seeming to proceed from

hoard by tho neighbors and the ofiiceiu of police When I was from home my family heard nothing ol" it. One eveningI supped with D« U-----; lie took leave of me at my door just at thatmoment we heard the same noise. Another time Roaely went with me

purchase jin article and to pay a visit. He had little faith, and on the way he requested me to call upon my apparition. I did as ho desired,

1 the cry was repented three times in a frightful manner. Wc re­turned homo more dead than alive After this alarm I was not dis­turbed for several months by the noise On the marriage of the Dau­phin I remained at Versailles for three days. I retire,! to my room,

d Madame Gramivnlc slept in the same bed. Just as I prepared to enter the bed I happened to say, “ We are now far from the busy world

1I1 bad weather, surely the noise will not follow me here " As I said this we heard it again. We did not sleep that night. I never heard the some afterward. A week lifter I was sitting with my friends at tho hour of eleven ; wo heard the report of a musket fired against one of tho panes of glass. We all heard it, saw the flash, yet not a pane of gins* -was injured. A watch was placed about my house. Notwith­standing this precaution the same report was heard, and we could not discover whence it come (all this is recorded in the registers of the po­lice). Ouo night the keeper of the privy purse and 1 were looking out of the window ; at that moment tho report- oamo and drove u* nearly dead in the middle of the room. Once again I heard it when passing the Boulevards But the same- noise was never heard more : another like the clapping of bands succeeded it. This was repeated, and ap­peared to bo regulated according to time or measure A* the indul­gence of the. public lmd accustomed uio to hear sounds-of that sort very frequently, I was inattentive to these sounds until my friends remarked

that it was repeated nt the hour of eleven. •• We hear it very distinctly, yot wo see nothing.” Soitio time afterward I heard certain melodious sounds. It seemed 0* if n fine voice was humming over an lir. The sounds seemed to begin at acute little distance from me ; they vero followed, distinctly heard, yet nothing was ever discovered that lould occasion them. At the end of two years and a half nothing was hoard extraordinary One day I was informed that an elderly Indy wished to see 1110. “ You are to know,” said she when I waited uponher, " that I was the most intimate friend of M. do S-----.and tho only

lie permitted visit.* from during the hut year of his life. We have passed whole day* together talking eoiely of you. one time speaking of yon ns n divinity, another denouncing you to he « fury. 1 conjured him to think of you no uiorc. lie declaring that his love should accom­pany him beyond the grave. May 1 n 1: you. Mademoiselle, why you refused one who so loved you, and why you did not give him the con­solation of seeing you ouce more ’ " “ The. heart is not to be controlled," replied I ; *• he was a deserring'inau . I had « partiality for him; hut his principles were not consistent with propriety or justice; I therefore broke otf all yonuectiou with him. The reason why 1 did not visit him in hi* Inst hours was because the sight would have overpowered my feel- iugs. You have now, Madame, beard my motives for my conduct, and 1 flatter myself that I am not altogether so blameworthy " “ 1 am fm from blaming it," rejoined the old lady ; •• I should l>e unjust if I did ; wo owe 110 sacrifice of ourselves but to our vows, to our parent*, orbeuefiiotor*. The disposition of M. Da S-----was overbearing, and hislove tyrannized over him; be was not master of hiluself, and your last refusal to non him certainly hastened his end. When the servant re­turned with your message (i> was near eleven o'clock, for he had counted every minute after lie lmd sent to your house), aiul told lmn that you positively determined never to sea him more, he was silent for a mo-

! incut, when ho pronounced these words in agony • Oh, tho cruel wc-

slcevo was forcibly pulled oil She repeatedly saw the hand while it patted her upon the knee and look her hand I ul»« saw it, and »lt who sat on that side of the table Also my wife, who «a* upon the opposite sido, several ituie* saw it plainly My ring waa taken from my Huger, and it required force aoit ekiii tn do it—carried and placed upon my wife's finger—token from her s and placed upon the medium'* — while hie ring wa# in the wine instant brought and placed *>n rny finger My daughter'a uodewleeve wiw rolled up into a bail and passed repeatedly over Hie face and neck of her mother nt the other end of the table, (hen placed in her open hand. Handkerchief* were taken from their owners' laps, knotted up in halls and thrown across the table, striking wit)* some force. My pencil was taken from me, carried to each one around (he table nnd placed in tin hand, then returned t« where I ant, and planted upright in the air by my aide, where it. re­mained until I look it ft way. My daughter saw distinctly the hand' that belli it up, though J could not. The invisible hand wna warm and motet to the touch, na hunni' 1 and life-like as hand could be. ami re­turned our grasp arid pressure with the same fervor and friendly ardor that woe charac (eristic of onr friend while in the body. A chair »m brought from the far side of the room, raised over our heads, and placed

the fable. It commenced rocking back end forth, while poised upon tbo hind lego, in spite of my nttempt to held it. It continued thus some minutes, while a hand -to the wrist was dirtinr.tly visible upon tho hack of the olmir. Tho chair was then raised carefully, and slowly settled down upon my wife'* shoulder, where it stood for an in­stant 00 one leg, then transferred to the head of the medium. Instantly a heavy weight scorned placed in the chair, nnd the medium was crushed i - T'" r’liir was then carried to its place upon tho floor,

tii: : . '.'tempting So addrees u*. though we could notmake out all the words clearly. The session closed at a lisilc pa t midnight, owing, as wua raid, to the exhaustion of the spiritual atrne- epberc.

Now, frieud Brittan, these are by no- means the strangest thing* wo have from time to rime witnessed at my bouse and elsewhere. Other*. 1 dare say—many others—could give an experience more interesting and startling, but as there eeesns to me to exist a hesitation owthc part of Spiritualist* generally to relate the fact* of shvir experience, nnd a* 1 know the good which may result from a dissemination of (hem, 1 have here given a lmsty ebeleli of the doings of one evening, (rusting it may induce other* to do likewise.

The foolish T n lu n r eoutiuties, 1 see, to attempt poor witticisms on the subject of Spiritualism, and t am pleased. A large portion of its quarter million readers are not yet ready for any thing higher than “ g h o s ti tm ," and wo certainly eau afford to let them enjoy it. I think It. i* not welt to "crowd the mourners." Yours in love,

WlLUSAHAM, M us , 1855.BSSII*. pARTBtDOK AND Ih im .V1 have the pleasure of forwarding to you the account of a few more underfill spiritual manifestation*, which 1 believe prove the presence an invisible power and intelligence beyond a reasonable doubt.

They occurred at the house of Ephraim AY'etniora, Newton, Conn , where . was directed to go by the Spirit. 1 am well kuowu as a clairvoyant, peaking, nnd test medium, and for the last three years I have followed is uenrlv as poc-stble tho directions and iost.ruelions of God nud hi* uiniateriug Spirits. Without further remarks 1 will give you the frets ia they occurred, in as condensed a form ns possible.

Whilo I was at Br. Wet more's house many came in to investigate the subject of Spiritualism. I was entranced, and the Spirit addressed Br Wettnorc, saying.

I wish you to leave oft" chewing tobacco ; il is very injurious to your health, aud hiudera u* froni'approaohing you. Floa.'c deny \ one­self ami. follow our inalructions-*’

At the close of thi* brief communication, the Spirit requested that the cellar-door should be opened. Mrs. Wet more opened the door, and instantly a paper of tobacco was seen floating in the atmosphere above

heads. H passed around the room two or throe Bines, and then rested upon the top of 0 clock that stood in the corner of tho room. Soon after this another paper was seen in like manner, passing around n the dining-rooiu. Soon It came into the parlor and foil down by die lofa, where there were a number of persona sitting. Soon a third paper was seen passing around in the duung-roolu in like manner with the first one, and rested upon the clock. Br. Wclmere identified the to­bacco as hi-, and said that ho had six papers in the crllor on a shelf. He went down cellar and found that tlnve papers were missiag The Spirits said that they lmd brought them up to convince bint of their presence, and again they requested him to chow iw more Uo said be would not, and emptied hi» box

As soon na lhi» interesting sceuo had closed, another quite ss iuler- catiug and remnrkablo occurred Slusic was heard by all in the lion*?, more or less, for live or ten minute*. It resembled that of an accor­dion. though no musical instrument was lu or about the house, l be­hove

The next duv after the above manifestations took place. Br. Wetmore, myself, anil another gentleman started lor Sandy Hook, -which v. 13 about two and n half mile* Wo lmd gone but a few rods before l became entranced, and said that there was something in the air which looked like a short bar of silver, it was soon discovered, however, to be a pair of candle molds which Br. Wetmore had put in hi* pocket when he started from home to carry to a friend of liu at Sandy Hook The Spirits said that they took them nut ol hi* pooket and, would carry them to Sandy Hook for him. When we got there they were found on the top of a clock at u neighbor's bouse; 1 have forgotten their 1.0 '«■

There are many more facta which 1 might relate, but 1 am owaru that thU communication is *uftleienlly lengthy. 1 may forward th i to you ut some future lime, if desirable. a r varan cm

In the Mine paper of March 8d are several communications upi •object, one of them illustrated with engraving*. One of these manicatioss nient’.or;.! u rumor that two kangaroos had escaped from a menagerie, but tlii-; u 111 not considered as offering a jdausible exp.laca- t; .... The same correspondent say

“ A scientific swquaintance informed me of his having traced the same prints across a ficil up to a haystack. The surface of the stack was wholly ficc from muiks of any kind, bgt on the opposite side of the stack, iu a direction exactly corresponding with the track thus traced, the prints began again. The same fact has been ascertained rejptet of a wall intervening

“ No animal with Cashing paw, such as the feline tribe—diminutive or large (cat or tiger)—exhibit, couhl have made these marks fact of Bto-t quadrupeds tread in parallel line*, come widely divari­cated. others approxir..a;ing very closely The ots, especially, among tbs am mala daily eecu, approaches the single line. The fi>x leaves round dots in a single line ; the stoat two and 011c alternately. More­over, the feline tribe leave concave prints , whereas, in each of these mystio prints, the space inclosed by the bounding liuc was convex, in the print of the pattern

“ Early m the week we were informed that two cranes had been shot at Otserton, bolovr li .1 .--igb tialtcrton, aod that thcoe were the mystical printers ; but the well informed in zoology at once rejected this offered explanation Within the lout fonr and twenty hours u very shrewd aod intellectual neighbor of mine, about six miles distant, wrote mo word that a gentleman iu the perish adjoining his own had traced these pe­culiar prints through his garden walk-, into a six-inch gutter, and there lie sew the marks of c’aut. This has induced some to suppose them to be the I racks of a catamountain. Two other gentleman, resident in file same parish, pursued a line of prints during three hours and n half, marking their progress under gooseberry hushes nud espalier f.-uil tree*, and then, missing them, regained sight of the impression on the roof) of some houses which their march of investigation brought them. These gentlemen ’swear to clawo ’ Upon which my corre­spondent (a member of the Society of Antiquaries) observes, 1 We in­cline to bslicVa they must be ollc»« <lrivao out in qne.t of food.
