bing, burning head;
Read the blessed words distinctly, that 1 lose
not even one.
Oh, the precious hand that penned them, its
last work for me is done!
But if you should ever see him, whom never
more shall see,
Tell him that the sweetest solace, his dear let
ters were to me;
That meyer ceased to love him, never doubted
that he loved.
That my faith in him was perfect, and re.
mained through all unmoved.
And, OH tell him when he came not, as he
promised he would come,
If could not choose but sorrow, that my grief
for him was dumb;
That never yet reproached him, ne'er word
of censure spoke,
That his -mem'ry must be gentle to the heart
his coldness broke.
Tell him through the years which followed,
when no tidings from him came,
Nor his absence, nor his silence, was l ever
heard to blame;
Oh, this wild desire to see him. God -subdue

When I'm dead and in my coffin, and the
shroud about me wound,
And my narrow bed is ready, in the pleasant

Lay the locket and the letters, both together on
my heart,
And the little ring he gave me, never from my
finger part.

THE KISSANE TRIALl-FINDLEY'S EvI-
DENCEl

Findley was put on the stand. Mr.,
Busteed objected to this. His objection
was overruled by the fact that Findley
had plead guilty to the Indictment
Findley described the whole plan oi
operations. After Kissane, Findley and
Cole had come in possession of the
genuine checks on Very d Gwynne,
and John Thompson, they worked for a
number of daysin initiating the filling
up of the check 10 perfection. Kissane
did the writing, Findley the running
about and outside work; Cole planned,
and was a sort of overseer. Before
Findley personated the droyer, Kissane
posted him up in the pork business, and
of those in it, after he had learned this,
Findley introduced himself to Cole,
who personsted Mr.. Van Brunt. Mr..
Van Brunt (Gole) asked the price of
hogs in Kentucky, Cincinnati and Buff
falo, and how Mr.. so and so out West,
were getting on. Kissane prompted
him till he was perfect in the part he
had to play. Mr.. Van Brunt { Cole J
introduced him to the teller of the
Chemical Bank, (Mr. Kissane, and
after they had perfected themselves in
this, they fill up the genuine checks
they had procured from Nathan, Lane
d Co. Findley introduces himself to
Mr.. Van Brunt, and Mr.. Van Brunt to
Mr.. Parsons. The money is obtained,
and the trio start for Cincinnati. Kis-
sane appears to sit on nettles, but Cole
is as cool as a cucumber. Previous to
Findley being put on the stand, he gen.
orally, after carefully fixing his glasses
on his nose, took the daily papers and
carefully perused them, now and again
casting bis eye over them.
Andrew Findley alias James Bishop,
the person who made the deposits in
the Chemical bank, was next placed on
the stand. Mr.. Busted took an exeep-

GOING WEST.

WHY ARE you GoINa?-wHERE ARE Yol
GoIsG?-AND WHAT WILL YoU DC
WHEN you GET THERE?
In these days when every young maj
and woman is smitten with the desire t.
go to the ends of the earth seeking new
things, it is well that few common
sense facts should be repeated, tha
these crusaders after happiness may no
be utterly blind to the other side of the
question they solve without reflection
Probably several thousand people whose
privilege it is to read the Ohio Farmer
are burning with internal flames after g
change of circumstances. Farmers
who are getting rich too slow; merchants
who are getting poor too fast; aspirants
for Office whom the people do not yet
recognize; ministers good many years
this side D. D.; lawyers in thread
bare coats; young men disappointed in
love; young women heaving in sight Of
the desert of old-maidenhood; people
who have and are nothing now, but
think there is place where they can
gain everything; people who are and
have enough now, yet long for more;-
all these and more, are thinking by day,
and laying awake o. nights, and revolv-
ing the one thought of change Of
situation. They study the geography
of the West; buy book on California;
write letters to the Kansas Emigrant
Aid Society; bore every man or woman
who has come from the place they would
go to, and treasuring up every tit-bit Of
encouragement, dismiss the other side
with disgust. Nobody knows what a
fever RACES in America on this very
theme;-and we would be glad to see
the man this side ofsuperannuation of who
does not intend sometime "to move"
Now, knowing" is a great fact in our
civilization; and we are not disposed to
ridieule the enterprise of our people;
yea, we ourselves have "noved," have
survived six months of secret delibera-
ton, and three months of open discord
previous to taking an express train from
the Puritan City, one glorious October
morning. for-God knows where; for,
having once got adrift we may turn uF

afillibuster in Cuba; a missionary to the
Southern Arctic Continent, or private
IN the CrimeaS though now we abide in
the Forest City. But we have learned
2 trife by this process, and wish to say
it in the ear of our hot-headed young
friend, though we are sure he or she

advice gratis.

Throughout the joyous day.

How fond their memory seems,
They haunt us in our solitude,
They whisper in our dreams.

To-day we give large space to spirit rap
ping matters, and cannot consider our duty
performed without rc.publshng the very
clear and satisfactory clucida,ion of these
spiritual phenomena as laid down awhile
since by correspondent Of the Cincinnati
C0B,mcrcjdI Until his explanation, tho
philosophy of these manifestations was q
sealed book, he, however. has made it per-
fcct,y clear to those who understand him.
lie says:
The only true and legitimate manner Of
accounting for the taps is the physiological
defects OF the mcmbraneous system. The
obtuscncss OF The Observation-Disclosures causes
the cartillagjnous compressor to cOagu,atc
into the diaphragm, and depresscs the duo
dcuum into the ilandango. Now, if tho
taps were caused by the VOCATION Of the
electricity from the extremitcS, the tympa-
Runs would also dissolve into spiritual sine
tum, and the oliactor would ferment aud
become identical with the pigmcntum.
Now, this is not the case; in order to
produce the taps, the spiritual retendum
must be eleyatcd down to the spiritual
sphere. But, as said before, the inferior
ligamentS must not SubtCnd over the digito-
rum suhIClVltI. W "IsO' S'l'"t lIc stViClCIc-
tum.
Another, equally learned, takes some cx-
ccptiOnS to the assertion that the "dcprcss-
ion of the duodenum into the ilandango
could, by any possibility, cause the olmcto-
ry ossIiicator to fcrmcnt aud become idcnti-
cal with the pgmentum," and says
The vibratory motion communicated to
the tunica alburgcna by the parturiton Of
the alvcola process, cilcctually disintegrates
the pericardac influence OF the epigastrium,
and produces compound corpuscular
movement of the lymphatc glands; which
abnormal and 1lagnostical state of the ncr-
vous system, detcrorates a prcponderance
Of the actcal fluid to the postcrior portion
Of the cercbelum, and prcdisposes the patient
to pretcrnatural distcntion of the circular
orilice; in which case the rappings become
painfully aud distinctly audible.
The Spiritual Hay5iagor, n paper printed
at Rochester, and advocating the spiritual
rapping mania, has the following
In the twelfth hour, the glory Of God,
the life OF God, the Lord in God, the Holy
Procedure, shall crown the Tribune Creator
with the perfect diSclosivc illumination.
Then shall the Creator in ciiulgencc above
the Divine scraphimal, arise into the dome
Of the disclosure in one comprehensive re-
vo'ving galaxy Of supreme created Bcati-
tudcs.
After copying the above paragraph, the
Cayuga Chi.f responds us follows
