Reflection for the Thinking.

Mr.. EDIToR:- In reviewing a SER

family were made by the allwise
Being. and we're all in Adam in some
sense, and were all alike IN soul, body
and spirit, and all had their origin
from tie same source, and were the
offspring of God. Now, on page 10
of the dttle pamphlet, after speaking
of the sternality of the Almighty, he

What is it,

1ne lOllOWlHS ny Slellouo dA-
nouncement is found in the New Lis
bon (O) Aurora, of the l4th inst
What does it mean? It throws the
mysterious knockings" quite into
the shade, The editor ofthe Aurora
says, 4AIr. Jerome + roposes to do a
great dead. Some may be skeptical
on that subject, but a lecturer will
be here in few days who is expect
ed to explain the system or theory
here announcedl So let us not con-
.demn until we hear.P
1He Eighth Wonder cfMe World
The eighth wonder is note myste-
rious operation, but a plain, practical
system-so simple that child may
understand and apply it; but its pub.
lie utility will be immense. The
cases to which it will apply are bound
less as human ingenuity and its use
fulness limitless as existence. This
system, when applied to all who miss
any object, enables all others to com
munieate forthwith, upon sight ofany
lost object, to the right owners, let it
be either lost, stolen or strayed; thus
all lost property can be restored by
those who find forthwith upon sight
of the same. All thieves can be de-
tected the moment they expose their
stolen property to public view. The
same system enables all persons to
communicate without knowing the
residence of each other; thus all who
are now lost from ea9h other cab
communicate to each other as soon
as they III understand the E system; and
two persons who once understand the
system cannot be lost again. so that
they can't write, or communicate by
telegraph. The ball is rolling; let us
keep it moving until it shall have
reached the remotest corners Of the
globe. It is restoring wdIlion 5 Of
persons I'd the weeping 1elcor ne Of
long absent friends, and millions
worth Of property to the owners; and
how many thieves it will detect, the
Lord only knows time only can re-
veal that. BY the same system every
individual can secure an Identifying
sign, by which his or her name, per-
son OF property, can be identiii4 ed
These signs are protected by the laws
of the e. S., and will be positive
identity at ALL times; and in all cases a
person having 6 one ofthose signs can
receive lettd Is at the same post-of-
flee with five th4 4usand others having
names spelt just the same, still a pos
tive identity will exist, so that the
name Of each inditidual can be de8ig-
mated on sight. The half is not yet
unfolded; but a lecture is expected,
in which the ab4 4ye viii be explained
