with interest the following description of
the parting of soul and body, as he saw
it by spiritual perception short time
since. His new work, (The Great Har-
ture Divine Revelations and this ex-
tract comes to us hardly inferior as a
poem to "Queen Nab" However, let
every one Judge.
Death is bat door which opens to
new and more perfect existence. 1t is

mortal spirit passes at the moment of
leaving the outer world to depart for
higher, sublmer, aud more magpih-
ceut country. And there is really no.
thing more Eepulsive Or painful liz the
natural process of dying (that which is
not induced by disease or accident than
there is in passing into quiet dreamless
sumber. The truthfulness of this prop
osition is remarkably illustrated and con-
firlned by the following observations and
Investigations into the physiological and
psychological phenomena of death which
my spirit was qualified to make upon tie
person of a diseased individual at the
moment of physiological dissolution.
The patient was a female Of sixty
years of age. Nearly eight months pre-
vious to ler deatk, she visited me for the

and 10 learn what it is for an individual
human spirit to undergo the change, con-
sequent upon physical death or external
dissolution They were these:

Withdrawal OF the anlmating soul. Ihe
muscular system struggled to retain the
element of Motion; the vascular system
