Q.-Then why do not animals also have
an immortal existence?
A.--Nlan has peculiar formation, which
animals have not. To all who have that
formation, Soul adheres-not to others,
Q.-Can MIR. G. give us any idea of bis
present locality in space--whether il is on
any particular planet, or around this eurth?
A.-llumon spirits love to hover around
this earth, but they are not confined to it.
Q.-Do those born OH the several planets
usually remain each on that which was his
birthplace?
Answer not taken down, but believed to
have been affirmative.
Q.-Arc the planets visible to MIR. c.?
A.-Yes.
Q.-Does MIR. c. see this outer, material
earth? Docs he see it as we do, with our
material eyes?
Ale perceives the earth as highly
material body.
The above is all that we noted down,
though few other questions were asked
and answered, which were not noted ut the
time. On another occasion, it was stated, in
reply to question, that all created existences
are first clothed in material bodies passing
thence into purer aud more spiritual forms,
and that the inhabitants of the higher plan
cts, like Saturn, pass through n change from
the material TO the purely spiritual state
equivalent to our Death, but one unattended
by pain, and which is desired, not dreaded.

Guilt of Contempt,

Contempt, repeat, is the essence of ~
ranny: il IL the spirit of oppression; il Is
tile most deadly foe to freedom. II is a chnin
for the slave, stronger than all the mnnaces
which were ever forged; it is worse than
bandages OF iron seventy times EMBODIED; il
fixes generations after generations where
the stern ollotlncnts Of caste have placed
them; II would render degradation an eter-
nal aud changcless fate. II fastens the
serf TO the soil OF his lord, and by the will of
that lord the space is determined in which
he has leave TO toll and leave to live. Yes,
yet more than this combined with rapncity,
II has torn the poor barbarian from his ma
tive hearth, from every instructive affection
and every human privilege; il has crammed
him in a wooden he'll and if life could stand
the tug of torture, borne him 10 his doom
through the wild roar of waters. There is
pathway paved with bones across tho broad
Atlantic; aud every fathom beneath is
black mans sepulchrc, and every wave above
has been his winding sheet. Oh, if these
bones could live! n cloud of witnesses against
the iniquiiy of Christendon would gather
from the caycrns of the deep, to alright the
earth, to appal and ovcrshadow the heavens
Who will say, that contempt had no part
in this terrific wrong? Who will saw. that
contempt did nothing TO perpctuatc the bon
dnge which this terrific wrong commenced?
We know that the uncivilized heart is cruel
to what Is strange, aud cruel from contempt.
IL dcspises n difference of manners, or of
person; and it compares all disadvantageous-
ly with ITSELF But rapaciiy can render the
unsnnctiiied heart as cruel as the unci-
vilized; and this, the sulferngs of un-
happy and unprotected millions all over the
sinful world can testify with gronnings
which cannot be uttered Conlcmpt-stcrn,
heartlcss and godless-in every place of this
sinful earth where man causes grief to man
is permanent iljuslice--yes, in every such
afflicted place, contempt lives and rules
Wherever the weak, the poor, the ignorant,
the lowly, are alcnated aud wronged, there
contempt is present aud predominant. Said
inot well, then, that contempt is great sin
"a sin which has its testimonies in all the
testimonies of oppression, in the siglis of
unrewarded toll, in the degradation of work
ing masses, in the power of stern aristocra-
cles, in the carnnges of war; in miseries and
slayeries almost as old us the world, and as
wide.-llENRY GILES.

The Millincr.

Mako her work hardcr-she is but a millincr;
How can she complain hard work is killing her
Aged seventeen, and in consumption
Some law should be made to punish presumption
Make her work hardcr-her mother, poor crca-
turc,
Is paralytic in each limb and feature;
In such n condition she should be willing
To work day and night to obtain but a shilling,
Make her work hardcr-she dwolls in kitchen.
And people who live by their hemming and
stitching
Must keep on working for breakfast and dinner.
Or go without clothes, and get thinuer and
thinner.
Harder they made her work, harder than ever,
Then came across herpath practical doceiver-
One young and wealthy, who, smiling upon her,
First gained her affections, then her dishonorl
Ofcourse he forsook hcr--a creature so tender
Who, in this wide world, would care to defend
herr
Down with her, down with her! lower and
In very few weeks her mother wont know her
Bright are her young eyes, delighting behold
crs-
Her hair falls in ringlets over her shoulders.
Down with her, down with her lower and
lower
Till only the vilest acknowledge they know her
God what a wreck of creature so dutifuli
God what wreck of creature so beautiful
Purchase shroud her pale face to tic in.
Take her away, the victim is dying!

A Leaf from The Book of the Present.
ny u. II. coBB.

STILL there arc selfish ones who cannot weep
When Sorrow broodeth o'er the cherries
hearth
Whose sympathes are sunk in sluggish sleep
Amid the chilling miserics of Garth;
Who look with stony eye upon the deep,
And dreaming wrongs that fettcr honest
worth
Who in high places cry, "God help the poor -
Who love good works if Heaven will be tho
door
Still there arc those who rear an icy wall
About their hearts, lest Charity creep in,
And claim the tears which never fail to fall,
At some sad tale of wo that nc or hath been
Or lift from them perchancc the gloomy pail
Pride there hath settled, that her voice may
win
trihng pittancc from their we'll filled purse,
To make blessing of their greatest curse
Still there arc those whom ignorance and pride
Have taught that honest poverty is crime
That those whom they behold on every side,
Battling with want, and foulest wrong, and
time,
And chains with blood of generations dyed
Arc framed as ladder rounds that they may
climb
To fame and fortune, or to station high
Whose dostinics are written, "Toil and die "
And still there is proud and hcartlcss host
Who judge of merit by the broad domain
Who deem the man a sensclcss brute at most,
Whose bread is won by toll of hand or brain
Who prate Of lordly lineage, and boast
Of an illustrious ancestral train
And think those soullcss who trace not their
birth
" From loins enthroned and rulers of the earth :"
Still there arc those who by their toll have won
The golden gifts inherited by others;
Who play the tyrant when the strife is done,
And turn the opprcssors of their toiling bro
thcrs
Who hear, unmovcd and cold as scnselcss stone,
The wall of orphans and of widowed mothers
Who deem that gold most precious of their spoil,
Which they have wrested from the hand of toll

SLEEP, now TO OBTAIN IT.-Persons en-
gagged IN literary pursuits, in the various pro-
fessIons, or in those occupations where the
brain is much more exercised than the body,
frequently experience great difficulty i'm Oh
tanning sleep. 10 such, the following hints
will be of service if regarded. Before re-
tlrl3g, take short brisk walk of half mn
hour, or such other physical exercise in the
open air MS may he most convenient md
agreeable, then a cold hath, after which the
entire body should he rubbed briskIy with
the hand or soft towel. This will eGualize
The circulation of the blood, drawing n nor
ton OF il from the brain to tile body and ex.
tremiIies. No food should be taken during
the evening. Tea, coffee, and other stilnl.
lants should also he avoided.
No person should retire with cold or damn
feet, for, besides preventing sleep, they ca,se
various ills, such as colds, coughs. crnn,ps.
rheumatism, ont of which mny gro,c more
serious diseases, and perhaps end in con-
sumption. When 10 fire can he had by
which 10 warm the feet, they Inny be made
comfortable by severe rubbing with towel,
or even the naked hand.
Ii will not be prudent or safe at any time
TO resort TO medicines for the purpose of pro
curing sleep, as they must necessarily dam
age the system, and II once practced, even
on child, mischief will grow out of il.
Every individual requires from six to eight
hours sleep out of every twenty-iour.
Children from the age of one month 10 a
year should sleep at least twelve hours
Those from two to five years of age may
sleep ten hours WOMAN requires more
sleep than MAN, and FARMERS less thnn those
engaged in almost any other occupaton.-
Editors, authors, and artists need more sleep
than those of other professions. The same
is true of precOcious children.
IL is not as well TO sleep in room in which
fire has been during the day.
Every sleeping room should be well venti-
lated during the day. The second floor is al
ways preferable to the ground or first floor.
Too much clothing should be avoided, as
unnecessary warmth is always debiitating.

Fortune and Love.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Let me live without Fortune, if Providence will
It, ~
For joy can be found whore small treasures
are she'd;
Those who bear full cup arc most fearful to
spill It.
And oitcntimes walk with the narrowost troad
care not though Fate may deny mo profusion.
Ii earth will but show me some ray from
above;
Tell me not that Gods light is dreamy illu-
SION
Icould live without Fortune, but not without
Lovcl
oh It's pleasant to know there arc beings
about us
Who tune the most exquisite strings in our
To feel they would not be happy without us.
And that VIC, in our loneliness, sigh when we
G part
Oh there is something divine in the thought
that we cherish,
a star-bcam within us that shines from above.
To know, that il all the world gives us should
perish,
The greatest of Fortunes still dwclls in our
Love
oh it's glory to feel that we live for some
others,
That self is not al we depend on below,
That affection yet links us to sisters and brothers,
Whose faith will be constant, come veal or
come Woe
Though the vulturc of trouble may harrass our
bosom,
Nicer fear while our spirits are fed by the
dove;
Let the desert of Life give Etcrnty's blossom.
And wen live without fortune, while favored
by Love

MIcE PowER.-A gentleman in Kirkaljn
Scotland, has trained couple of mice, and
invented machinery, enabling them TO spin
cotton yarn. The work is so constructedlhai
the common mouse is enabled to make atone
ment to society for past offences, by twisting
twine, and reelng from 100 to 1876 threads
per day. To complete this, the little pedes-
trian has to run ten-and-a-half miles. A
hali-penny's worth of oat meal, at l5d. per
peck, serves one of these treadwheel culprits
for the long period of five weeks. In that
time it makes ITO threads per day. At this
rate mouse earns Is. Cd. per annum. Take
off Sd. for board, and Is. for machinery,
there will arise 6s. clear for every mouse an
nually. The mouse employer was going to
make an application for the lease OF an old
empty house, which will hold IL, 600 mousse
mills, sufficient room being left for keepers,
and some hundreds of spectators. Allow
ing for rent, there will be balance of S TO-
600 per annum.

Be Careful Of Your Speech.

If persons sufficiently reflect on the influ-
ence of speech in ordinary intercourse, sure
ly the efilux of frothy gossip--to name no
graver classes of offending words-were a
rnrer thing. Who can tell the power for
good or evil of but one sentence falling on
tellow-creatIre's ear; or estimate the mighty
series of emotions, purposes and actions, of
which one articulate breath may be the
spring? a word spoken in season, how
good is il p In another sense than the po-
ets-nll words are weighed, and Imagination
can i'll track their flight. Evil or idle words
may seem, rs they are uttered, light aud tri-
vial things; yet, it light, they arc the
iilamens of the tbistlo-down, each leathery
tuit floating on the slightest breeze bears
with II the germ of noxious weed. Good,
KIND, true, holy words, dropt in conversation,
may be little thought of too, but they are like
seeds of flower or fruitful tree, falling by the
way side, borne by some bird afar, haply
thereafter to fringe with beauty some hereto
fore barren mountain-side, or make some
nook of the wilderness to rejoice. And VIC
know not u there is any thing, viewed either
as an element of character, or mealls of
usefulness, which admits of more thorough
reformation, or calls more imperatively for the
regulation of fixed aud resoute principle
than the ordinary conversation even of reli-
gious men. Above all, il were well that we
could exercise the spirit of consciousness,
manliestlng itself in thousand ways-the
whispered inslnuaton, the suggested suspi-
cion, the eagerly retaled scandal, the eulopy
which preiaces the way for some damnatory
out, the preIudlced judgment, the undisguised
utierancc of bitterness aud wrath,-.Ao,fh
