THE ANIMAL mAGNETIzER.

How the following wild and eccentric story
came into my possession, is matter Of no great
import. 1t came by the right of inheritance,
among golgotha Of garret furniture, such as
trunks and boxes of all sizes and of every form.
On opening one of them, | was struck by q sin
gular looking roll Of paper tied up very neatly
with faded piece Of brocade, and it was not long
ere found that the writing was that of very
celebrated ancestor Of my family, and | set to
work to decypher the outre letters, for the benefit
Of your readers-simply remarking that ] have
excluded all portions Of the record, that appertain
TO the scientific part Of animal magnetism; ap-
prising the general reader however of the fact,
that in the early days Of the art, the operations
were accompanied with music-ths remark is rel
eyant to the understanding the story.

RE M A RKA BILE TRIAL.

Mr.. Keene, manager ofa Metropolitan Theatre,
was indicted for the murder of Mr.. Jones, manager
of rival theatre in the same town. 1t appeared
there had been a violent dispute raging between
the two managers for some time One night Mr.
X. suddenly entered among party OF young
men at hotel, and rubbing his hands with Joy,
exclaimed, We'll, Mr.. Jones has given up the
ghost'
Before another word was said, man came into
the room and announced that Mr.. J. had been
murdered, Just without the city. Every eye fell
upon Keene. Hard words that had been said by
him of the deceased were remembered, and the
joyful manner in which he brought the first tdings
of his death. He was arrested. II was thought
the jury would have agreed on verdict of gully
but for the examination Of the last witness, which
1 put a new gloss upon the whole affair. Ii wa
conducted on this wise:
Counsel for Dsf't.--Do you know the prisone
at the bar?
| Wikness.-Yes, sir.
COunsek.-DO you know whether any disput
has heretofore existed between the defendant ane
the deceased!
Uitness.-Yes. t
Counsel.-Can you say in what the alteration
originated?
Witness.-Yes. had left the theatre under
the management of Mr.. Keene, and had gone to
Mr.. Jones. enacted the ghost in Hamlet. Mr..
Keene wanted me to come back to him. could
not do it without offending Mr.. Jones-and here
arose the quarrel between the two managers.
But on the day Of Jones' decease, he had con-
sented to give me up, and | saw Mr.. Keene in
the evening and announced to him the fact. He
was much delighted to have carried his point, ant
said he would hurry over TO his companions a
the hotel, and tell them that Jones had given up
his ghost, and that peace was now restored be-
tween them.
The Jury consulted together a few moments
and pronounced defendant not guilty 1t was
subsequently discovered that the deceased hat
been killed and robbed by a highwayman Gale.

MOTHERS SHOULD LOVE POETRY.

Montgomery in his lectures, while speaking
of the influence poetry, remarks that that species
of composition has the advantage of all others, in
asmuch as it is the solace and delight of the ac
complished of the finer, feebler, and better sex
whose morals, manners and department, give
tone to society. They are the sisters, the lovers
and the companions OF the present, and the mo-
theirs and nurses of the future generation Poetry
refines their tastes purifes their affections, and
imbues their minds with lofty thoughts and ele-
waited sentiments.
By communicating the ennobling sentiments
thew derive from poetry to their companions and
co-eouals in age, and infusing them ito the plas-
tic and tender minds of the young, they exercise
an incaIculable influence over the destnes OF the
human race The author to whom we have allu-
ded mentions the fact that Alfred, King OF Eng
land, owed much of his greatness to the pas
sion which his mother had for poetry. 'She
was more than mother to him. The words
Of his mother taught him, the songs which his
mother sang to him were the germs OF thought,
genius, enterprise, action, every thing to the fu-
ture father Of his country.
We owe to poetry--probably to rude, humble
but fervent, patriotic poetry, all that we owe tt
Alfred. and all that he owes to his mother. Mo
theirs must themselves be great-their minds mus
be stored with high and lofty thoughts, and no
bic and exalted sentiments, in order to make grea
men Of their ofIsprings. Most great men, " wno %dD
have lived have had great mothers-greal IN .'en

We know of no spectacle more interesting 70

hold Of the feelings than a mother quai'neu io'

intellect, and training it to maturl'y.--4Ne~Po''

j There sat my beloved, my adored Imogen, as
have described her, with the terrible sorcerer tow
ering proudly and triumphantly over all. Th
music paused but for second, and yet that secon
was life to me-not moment to lose, but dal
ted forward and regaining my dagger, 1 plunge
1t into the body Of my foe. seized Imogen b
the hand and tried TO wake her. To all appear
ance she was dead-not word-not sigh-no
movement even of muscle. i called aloud Il
: the bleeding Magnetzer to reillume the victim o
his art, but he replied not.
He alone could rescue her. He who had dark
ened her spirit could revive the soul, and give i
back to life and love. Iknelt by his sde-I raised
him in my arms-I pointed to Imogen and beg
Iged him to wave his hand once more, and wake
her from her ghastly sleep. He smiled bitterly
and shook his head with ferocious smirk of ex.
ultation.
Driven to despair, | dashed him away from me-
and cast myself upon my knees before the inani.
mate body of my betrothed but gazed upon the
vacant eye, and called to the deafened ear.
While kneeling before her, heard scream,
and then confused murmur Of alarm, and the
next moment saw the figure of dark and ma.
jesic woman standing above the magnetizer. She
stopped and raised his head upon her knee and
whispered to his ear. He slowly raised his eyes
to Imogen and waved his hand. The eyes of my
beloved moved-her lips nnclosed-she drew a
long breath, and rising from her chair fell into my
opened arms. The crowd, held back through fear
and superstition, now raised loud shout Of Joy,
and when looked round for the strange being
who had wrought this sudden change, saw moth
ing but small black pool of blood. The enchan-
ter and the enchantress had left the hall.
Here the manuscript is continued with scientific
arguments upon the science Of magnetism, which
may hereafter be published. AT present they are
too wild and singular for this age. So prone is
the youth of our country to indulge in daring
speculation, that will not feed their morbid ap-
petite by present disclosure.
