We shall have no difficulty in arriving at an
elucidation to all these mysteries. We have

also knOs0 that negative constitutions can be
thrown into psychological condition by pos
tive manipulations Aware of this, we can
not very well say that it is the body and not
the mind which produces the remarkable ex-
periments we have all more or less Witnessed
or read Of We are taught that by looking
steadily for a few minutes into the eye OF
negative person We may produce the psyclc
state. Now, if we can produce this etfect'
and it is acknowledged, is it difficult for us
to infer from these premises, that there may
be ahigher development of the abnormal con-
dition. If we may acknowledge this, we
can then have no hesitation in declaring that
a positive disem6odied spirit may act upon
a negatiye embodied spirit. If we can take
a young man and throw him into the PSYCHE
state, and then impress him with our 0lcn
thoughts, what difficulty is there in more
expanded and highly developed soul actign
in the same manner, even if it is not clothed
with an earthly garment There is but two
ways by which we may possibly obtain re-
lease from these conclusions. The first is,
that there is no soul; and the second, that
the ordinary experiments nightly presented
to large audiences, at Metropolitan and other
halls never have taken place With regard
to the declaration of religious persons, who,
perhaps, conscientiously think these " mani
festations and psychological effects" are
direct emanations from the devil, we have
nothing to do. We are not enquiring as to
the region from whence these things come.
We simply aver that they are now so fire.
quent, that justice requires US to mention
the truthfulness and honesty Of mediums
with whom we are acquainted, and who are
as much puzzled with respect to them, as
those who sneer and unmeasurably condemn.
Those anxious to enquire further into this,
and other matters connected with spiritual
lucidity, should purchase from Fowler &
Wells, Phrenologists, copy of A. j. Davis

We shall now conclude this long and some
what disiointed paper, by introducing the
following experiments, of which we are per-
sonally cognisant A gentleman of our ac-

duced to permit manipulation to psycologize
him. Proving to be an exceedingly suscep-
tible subject, he was speedily thrown into
the PSYCHE state, and on returning to his nor
NAL condition, to his astoni shment, he found
that his sight was fully restored On the
night of the 28th of last month, the writer
being in company with this gentleman, two
or three mutual friends being present, he
was, after repeated psychological experiments,
induced to test his clairvoyant powers, and
80 satisfactory were his descriptions of pla-
ces into which he had never been, that even
the most sceptical were convinced. All were
compelled to acknowledge the truthfulnesG
