A MESAIERIC HOAX.

DIR. Boynton recently astonished the citi-
zens of ST. Louis by some most marvellous ex-
periments in Mesmerism. He was followed
by DIR. Mcdowell, who had been q disbe-
never, but who came forward and threw
Boynton's experiments completely into the
shade by other more numerous, varied and
successful, The whole city was astopisbed
as was DIR. Boynton also, especially when
Mcdowell announced that his part of the ner-
formances has beenthe result of a hoax Phil
Ledger.
We copy the following paragraph from the
New Orleans Picayune
The celebrated Dr. Mcdowell, of 81. I.on;s
has boon giving public lectures fol the purpose
OF exposing the tricks of the animal magnet
izers. He is in possession of a book in which
the whole system is explained, The Key show
ing combination of phrases, tones; signs
&c, equal in complication to the Chinese al.
phabet, This book he Obtained from a young
man who was for some time practitioner in
the science. The it;nerant Mesmerzer, John
son, furnished this young man with the book
purely i'll self-defence, for the sharpw;,ted
youth had detected some of the tricks. and the
operator was afraid of being exposed so he
gave the young man the book, by wav o.

Our infant days one joyous glee,

But oh +! how transient arc the hours
OF JOY that mark our pathway here:
Hopes, hecting hopes, like snmmer flowers.
That bloom to fade and disappear.
For yet, e'cr passed six kec,ine wears.
Since first We knew that happy home,
Death turned our joys to bitter tears,
And bore our mother to the tomb
And time has sped since then, and still.

The blazing hearth, when cold and sbr;ll
They hear the night winds whis,ling sound.

One brother in Western land
And yet another, in the prime
