FREE LOVE- a. TAUGHr NY GHosrs.-Itha has recently
been declared through Mrs. Thomas medium from
Ohio by the circle of semsuperna spirits purportng
to desver the lectures ec,nty given at Hopedalo,
that all the dark and uncean spirits OF the inner life
are now seeking to mortas for the purpose Of
manifestipg themselves in the flesh that they VIII put
Themselves in close affinity with all mediums aud
spirtualists OF whom they can lake advantage; aud
that ell ought TO be on their guard against Free Love
suggestions impressions revelations and obsessions.
Nhatey or may be thought OF this warning against
hbertine spirits in the flesh and out Of t, no doubt
there Is danger enough To be apprehended. Compar-
atvey few of the sprltualists have as yet become
awere of this Free Love development. Bat II will
soon be made manifest in sundry quarters. IL viii
have something of IA run, too. Mediums will be seen
exchanging its significant congenlaltes, iondIings,
caI.sses and iHdescribdbIittes. They will receive
revelations from high pretending spirits, cautiously
insruciing them that the sexual communion Of CON

lilies broken up. There will bo spiritual matches,
carnal deeradstOns, and all the ultimate wretched-
ness thence inevitably resulting Yet the very per-
soIs most active in bringing all this about will protest.
their own purity will every suspicion raised TO
their discredit, will accuse all, who remonstrate
against their course Of doing s0 because personally
ior minded themselves, and will stand boldly out in
their character only when s no longer possble
to disguise IT, All this has commenced, and viii be
fulfilled in due time What is to be done about the
error deprecated Shall it be covered up, winked
at and allowed 20 work its mischiefs without oppo-
sition, rebuke or alarm No. Those who are aware
of these mischiefs are in duty bound to withstand
them, by timely warning faithful reprsof and un-
compromising disfellowship. Let the history OF
sgirto.c0ra1hy admonish us. In every age there
has been outbreak of it, ia connection with some
form of religious philosophical spiritualsm, and
always with the same ahomnable results. Com
mencDg with extraordinary professions OF Innocence,
sanctty aud solemn disclaimers of any desire for in
diligence in earI0l sexualsm, il has invariably ended
I in adu he

country furnished two marked demonstrations OF this
nature that of the COchranites ia Maine, and that

times lest under some speeious pretense, deceiVing

efficient in keeping the fire from extending down into
