THE SPIRITUAL RAppERS.

The strange, and we think we might with propriety say, criminal delusion of spiritual rapping, as 1t is so called, has taken posses sion of the minds of a number of persons in this section of country. Various meetings have been held, and the "mediums" have made their revelations, and We regret to say that many persons whose good sense should have dictated different course, have become firm believers in those spiritual manifestations. Whilst we have not been an inattentive obser- yer of the influence this destrutive mania has exerted over some communities, we had hoped that this would be exempt from such indu- ence. But such, we are pained to say, is not the case,-and we fear that many igno- rant and weak-minded persons may be de- prive of their reason. Such occurrences have become so very common of late in other States, that no other result may be anticipa- ted if those fearful delusions receve the en- couragement of moral and intelligent citizens Many persons in towns of our sisters States have become wholly insane upon the subject, and are now the inmates of Lunadc Assylums, who one year ago were in full possession of their reasoning faculties. We appeal to the good sense of those who are infatuated with this mania, to abandon the dangerous phantom that is perhaps leading them on to self destruction or a maniac's grave, and we also appeal to the moral sense of every good citizen and christian in the community to dis countenance every thing like an attempt to spread the delusion.

From the Carpet Bag.l
THE PARTING WORD.

In telling story about Printer, | am
not about detailing the mysteries and diff
culties of his occupation, although feeling
and interesting sketch might be made of
the business of his life, with it's care and
toll for the good Of the world. I love the
printers from association and long habit;
am proud of their companionship and
when walking arm in arm with my friend,
the newly elected President of the Franklin
Typographical Society, l feel as we'll as if the
individual in the hook Of my arm were the
President Of the United States. My inten-
ton in this little tale is simply to give the
incidents Of printers life, wherein his
heart was concerned, and not to meddle
with his profession in any way, save to dig
Nifty my hero by the association.
The ''Freeman's Star" was located in
Beanville, the shire town of Seaburn county,
in oar State, and it exerted great influence
upon the mind and manners of the people.
Society took its tone from the printing of
fee. The magnates of the place owned its
sway, perhaps through fear, and the hum
blest looked towards it with reverence, for
they had heard of it's power as the 'sdefen-
der of the peoples rights, and never deemed
how much of humbug there was in the pro-
fession. The editor was looked up to as
great man, and people would touch one ano-
ther as he passed, and whisper, 'That is
the editor'' He had been foreman of
daily Office in the city, and his Importance
was unbounded on the assumption Of his
new honors. In a proportionate degree all
hands in the Office were marked men. The
single journeyman, the grown-up apprentice
from the neighboring town, and the demon
himself, were all marked individuals, and
people treated them deferentially for their
connection with the "mighty engine that
had such power. Their opinions, expressed
at times about the weather, or the elections,
or the crops, were listened to attentiyely,
and everything that appeared in the Free
mans Star was imputed to one or the other
of the printers" by the particular friends
of each. Let piece of village poetry ap-

DAILY EVENING STAR,
MY RESTING PLACE.
BY REV. GEORGE W. DEWEY.

When I ana dead,
Place no stone above my breast,
But, rather let my ashes rest
Beneath the aspeh's shade,
For, like that tree, my spirit played,
By pain or pleasure lightly swayeA,
Oft varying from sun to shade;
Then place no stone above my head,
When [ am dead.
Perchance some friend with pilgrim
pace,
May wander to my resting place,
And read, from memories in the heart,
What no inscription could impart,
When [ am dead!
Then place no stone above my head.
Oh! lay me where the buds shall bring
The earliest perfume of the spring
Where yiolets shall watch and weep,
Through starry vigils o'er my sleep;
While in the grave yards dewy damp,
The glow worm burns her funeral lamp
Until the flowers that sleep all night,
Take up the morning watch of light;
And perching on the dropping limbs
The birds come chanting early hymns:
Or, with low melodious tune,
Charm all the sultry breath of noon
And, with the beauty of their lays,
Make joy throughout the sunless days:
Or, when within the twilight gray,
No football cheers the lonely way,
Beneath the signing aspen there,
The murmurs of the vespe1 air
May breathe, above the lowly spot,
The dirge my friends remembered not,
When am dead!
Then place no stone above my head,
But only let the aspen's shade
Betoken where my dust is laid,
When I am dead.
