Becoming A MEDIUM. The fascina-

gaining strength among MS, and some We i,

deplorable ones
A few nights since, within. this week,
young male friend of ours. who from a
snccring skeptic had become devout
believer, retired to rest, after having his
nervous system partially destroyed by tho
information, through the spirit of his
grandfather that he would very soon be-
come a powerful medium. He was in his
first comfortable snooze when a'chcking
noise in the direction Of the door awoko
him. He listened intently; the noise
was still going on-vcry like the raps Of
the spirits on the table, indeed!
"Who is there:"
There was no answer, and the queer
Noise stopped.
"Anybody rhere:"
No answer
cit must have been a SPIRIT" he said
to himself. 81 must be medium. I'll
try. { Aloud. If there is spirit in the
room it will signify the same by saying
'aye'-no, that's not what I mean IF
there is a spirit in the room, will it please

There very distinct raps we're given
in the direction of the bureau.
''Is it the spirit,of my SISTERS
No answer. 1Y

Raps very loud again; this time in the
direction of the door.
"Shall ever see you:''
The raps then came from the outside
of the door. He waited long for an an
swer to his last question, but none came.
The spirit had goae; and after thinking
on the extraordinary visit, he turned
over and fell asleep. ..rs
On getting up in the morning, he
found thai the spirit Of his mother had
carried off his watch and purse, his pants
down stairs into the hall, and his great
