Reasoning at a Mark.

CLAmyoyANcE.--This humbug Is being rapid
ly exploded. A recent experiment. was made an
Cayuga County, by placing twelve Articles in a
scaled box, and the subject failed to guess
right in single instance. 1t is Questionable
which is r.ost to be piticd-thc fool who has
faith enough in the science to prepare for these
experiments, or The knayo who has assurance
enough to try them.
0PWe find the above as Editorial in the
columns ofa contemporary which is able and
apt TO reason better. Let us considerit:
Certainly not less than a thousand distinct,
well attested cases of alleged Cairvoyance
are on record as having occurred at various
times in nearly every quarter of the civilized
world; while in India and other semi-bar-
barous countries, as well as in the history of
ancient Oracles, Magic, sc. events are re-
corded which can be credited only on the
hypothesis that Clairvoyancc or something
equivalent TO II has veritable existence
Recent medical and other works are full OF
cnses wherein Clairvoyance is affirmed, and
can only be ignored on the assumption that
mankind are set of graceless, purposeless
liars. There are at least thousand persons
now living in America who unllesitatingly
affirm that they have Witnessed and listened
TO Clairv0yant manifestations.
Now zoe never saw anything of the sort, lav-
ing been too busy with other matters TO give
the requisite attention to this; but we can
not disbelieve the testimony so abundantly
before all who will look at it, Yet we are
very confident that there have been cases OF
simulated or make-believc Clairvoyance-
cases in which even persons who had been
Clairvoyant laid claim TO the continued pos
session of the faculty when not particle OF
it remained TO thenI-cases in which persons
never Clairvoyant have pretended to be so
in the hope of gaining notorieiy, mystiiying
company or making money.
We'll: il seems that somebody who pre-
tended to Clairvoyance in Cayuga County,
tried to prove himself so OH particular oc.
casion and failed-wheretore il is argued
NOT merely this person was nerg clairvoyant
but nobody ever was, and none but 'iool
ever believed that anybody was! What
gigantic conclusion 10 be drawn from sucl
Lilliputan premises!-N Y. Tribune.

For negroes three you get one vote
That's one vote for three brutcs, sir;

For if it be as you assert,
A negro has no mind, sir,
In british qualities my brutes
Leave negroes far behind, sir.
Your brutes have two legs, minc have four,
And they know how to use them
Youis run from thc.r kind masters door

More about those KnOckings.

Mr., Z. N. Packard sends us not unreal
sonably long letter on the Mysterious Sounds
heard in Western New-York, which we de-
cline to publish, simply because i casts no
new light, pro or con, on the previous ques-
tion-namely, 'Have any sounds been heard
(which were not produced by strictly nattI-
.ral or physical causes% Or, in other
words, Has anybody in Western New-York
been privileged to hold communication
with departed or disembodied spirits p
MIR. Packard assumes as undoubted that
these 'rappings' proceed from such spirits,
which is the very point ON which we and
most otkers require evidence, and until that
is settled, we don't care TO hear anything on
secondary questions. Mr.. Packard says he
klloies the following, but doesn't tell us how
arc may know it. We eau print of his letter
only this extract:
"Thesc knockings are produced by the
spirits of the dead. They can produce
these under any circumstances agreeable to
themselves, and the idea that they can be
prevented by any ingenuity of man, is perfect.

the peculiar communications of these spirit.
at Rochester was that man must investigate
the subject; and that in short time every
human being would know the mystery anc
its object. That time has not yet come /,
full; for in addition to the explanation an
about TO give, still greater evidence will be
given by the influx into the world of the
whole host of spirits, gloriied and impris

BRITISH PERIODICAL LITERATURE,

AnpuOttrUtOn OF
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
The EDINBURGH R.vIEw,
The NORTH BRITIsH REVIEW,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURoH Journal.
THE widespread fame of these splendid
periodicals. renders il needless TO saw much
in their praise. As literary organs. thev
stand far in advance of any works of a SINH
lar stamp now published, while the political
complexion of each is marked by a dignity,
candor, and iorbearance not often found in
works of a party character.
They embrace the views of the three great
parties in Englond-Tory, Wing, and Radi-
cal. Blackwood" and the London Quar-
tcrly" are Tory, the Edinburgh Review I"
Wing, and the Westminster Review Rad
ica. The "North British Review" is more
of religious character, having been origi-
nally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since
| his death, being conducted by his son-ni-law
DIR. Hanna, associated with Sir David Brews-
ter. Its literary character is of the very high
est order.
The Westminster" though reprinted un-
der that title only, is published in England
under the title of the "Foreign Quarterly
aud Westminster" il being in fact n union OF
| liic lNO htNltMS lDIIltlll puDllSltu uilu It-
| printed under separate titles. II has there
fore the advantage, by this combination, OF
uniting in one work the best features of both,
as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in
New York, Immediately on their arrival by
the British steamers, in beautiful clear type
OH fine white paper, and are faithful copies
of the riginals-BidckiCood' Magazine being

EARLY COPIES.

can be reprinted in any of the American jour
Ials. F0E ;!iis and other advantages secured

PmLANTHRoPY.-Gerrit Smith, of New
York, as is well known, is the possessor of
immense tracts of land in that State. A few
years ago, he gave to a considerable number
of colored persons several thousands of
acres. From this gift has sprung thriving
and numerous settlement During last
Spring he made known his intention TO do
nate certain amount of money and land to
five hundred males, and a like number of
females, in the State of New York, and a
number Of gentlemen in the various coun-
ties were chosen 10 make the selection of
persons from the poor, the landless, aud the
temperate of the population. Of this num-
ber, seventy-five of each were drawn from
New York city, and the report of the conf
mittee of gentlemen to whom tho selection
was intrusted has been published.
IL appears from this, that the actual value
of the giil will be S50,000 TO each of the
niales he gives thrm in Franklin county,
with the sum of $40 in addition; and TO
each Of tho females $50 in cash. The pay
ments and the transfers of the deeds are
now progressing.-.M .qmerieGn.

The Evil at our own Doors.

We are wont to suppose that because this
is free country honest industry and biting
poverty never go together, except in cnses OF
vice or accident The following Circular
tells a very different story:
TO THE HUMANE.
dPetition from The Tdiloressts Of he City and
County Of Philadelphia.
The Winter is upon us, and distress and
want stare us in the face. BY reason of the
low prices for which we arc obliged TO work,
many of us are found by the midnight lamp
aud until daybreak, at the needle, lal,oring
for pittance which is scarcely sufficient for
the necessities of the Summer scason. Rent
must be paid, aud clothing bought, and oft
en-, IN Winter, our usual supplies fail, and we
must beg for work from the public bencvo-
lent institutions, or at the taiors stores, when,
u we had fair price for our labor, we could
maintain ourselves. Aged parents are to be
supported by many of us, aud of widows
there are not few, who have from one TO
SIX little children dependent upon them for
bread. Often they must he separated from
Their mother in their infancy. Boys must he
sent forth TO work Mt wagcs which often will
scarcely furnish them with food. Hunger
aud cold, and bad company, lead them to
commit acts against the laws and their own
consciencc-thcy are sent to prison. and
come away hardened vagabonds. Girls, if
Kept at home TO help their mother, and learn
trade, finding, as they grow up, that the
prices viii not afford them decent clothing
and tempted by demons in human shape
Thus the poor mother sinks into
an untimely grave, broken-hoarted for what
she could not avoid, and the Younger chill
dren are left, fit subjects for Rosines, Mag
dalens, or Ponitentiaries, when, il she had
been paid for her work, she might have
brought them up TO habits of industry, and
made them useful members of society.
n great many of us are American widows.
with feelings which will not allow us TO he.
come public charge-but what can we do
We cannot starve in this our natipe land
nor can we live under the open sIxy. We
are industrious, and willing to work, hut
pad as zee are, zoe cannot get enough TO sup
port Lje. II we must become beggars, we
would become so in a body, and entreat our
whole community to make one effort for us,
and if this is successful, we shall be able TO
take care of ourselves. Our industry will
become productive, and thousands yet un-
born will derive benefit from il. We would |
commence our enterprise prudently, and on |
q small scale. Our object is TO form our
selves into an Association-to open a shop, /
and TO become our own employers; but we |
are too poor, without assistance, TO take the |
first step.
10 show the oppression under which we
have groaned, an oppression which grows
heavier every year, we subjoin list of the
prices actually rcceived-and which under |
the present system we have no power to
change:

ranging about brewery, happened to fall
into vat of beer, and appealed to cat to
help him out.
The cat replied, at is foolish request
for as soon as get you out shall eat you.'
The mouse replied, that fate would be
better than TO be drowned in beer The cal
lifted him out; but the fumes of the beer
caused puss to sneeze, and the mouse took
refuge in a hole.
The cat called on the mouse to come out

eat yOu?"

some one to plead our cause, until we can
wait no longer.
Ladies, we appeal to you to aid us, and to

whom the Almighty has placed under your
care, now present themselves before YOU
and implore your succor. Raise for us funds,
in any way that you think proper, and So
cure them as you please. Most of the cloth
ing which you wear passes through our
hands but very little does 1t profit us. Help
us to help ourselves Give us but Justice
favor we ask not-and then Rosne's and
Magdalen's and chldren's prisons may want
inmates! Give us an opportunity of gain
ing employment at Huing prices! The
funds required TO maintain these institutions
are far more than enough TO start us in our
enterprise, and we believe there is no other
way TO secure for us fair compensation for
our labor. We do not purpose TO undersell
The taIlors, nor 10 Increase the cost of any
garment, nor in any tcay to disturb trade we
only wish to sell our own work, in order
that the reward of industry may reach the
hands which accomplished the task.

MARION TAlNTOR,
ELIZABETH RICHARDS.
Philadelphia, Feb. Is, 1850.
We shall not seek to add anything to the
moving language of the above appeal. We
simply desire 10 invoke attention to the fact
that the same causes which depress labor
elsewhere are active here, however then
effects may be alevated by the circumstan-
ces of a new and cheap country. Here as
well as elsewhere labor is forced to pay an
Algerine tribute 10 land monopoly, lIsury,
irade and the rapacious cupdity which fat
tens on The toll and suffering of others.-
How could it be otherwise? Our social
system, however unique in some particulars,
does not differ from that of civilized nations
generally in these leading arrangements for
living on others labor. Until they are radi-
eally modified there will always be in our
large cities most ample materials for such
mournfui narratives as that in the tailoresses'
peutlon. They propose 10 emancipate them
selves as far us they are able, by forming an
associatlon and working on their own nc
count. That Is an excellent idea and we
