THE MAGICIAN OF EGYPT.

Egypt swarms with magicians now, as in the
days of Moses nor do the practitioners of the
present day bring any discrcdit upon theil
renowned ancestors, thus furnishing strong
circumstantial evidence of the truth of the
inspired narrative So wonderful are the pro-
digies they perform, that they have been deem
ed worthy of grave recital in works on Egyp,
tian life and manners, and been vouched fol
by authors as things which they saw and heard,
but which they neither explain nor account
for And some of them not only witness these
marvellous things, but actually learned how to
perform them, and yet were unable to give
any explanation, only that they did as they
were told, and the result followed.
There is branch in their hidden art, en-
ploycd to bring hidden things to light, which
has been practised with startling effect. In the
process, various mummcrics are gone through
such as writing certain words on paper, sepa
rating and arranging them, burning coriandel
and frankincensc, and making diagrams, in
the midst of all which is deposited few drops
of black ink, which is called the magic mirror
! and into which a boy, selected at random
looks intcntly, and sees any thing concerning
which You desire information, posting you ur
in relation to it to your hearts content.
Two of the British Consuls, residing Cal
70 Succcssivcly, have published the results o
their own observations in relation to the mat
ter. gr;vey testifying that, having used ever,
prccaution against imposition, making thei
own selection of the boy who was to reveal th'
mysteries of the magic mirror, they PROFOUND
ed questions to him concerning matters IL
England. which it was impossible for him tC
know ANYTHING about, and received answers
corresponding with facts in every instance.
Both were incredulous before institutine
their inquiries; both repeated their interroga
tories Il number of times, and put them in va
rious forms. in relation to various subjects
but always with the same result; the correct
answer being invariably given, and both con-
tinued incrcdulous still, and yet thus testified
to the facts.
This beats our own clairvoyants Il long way,
for the latter only hit the mark occasionally
about us often as one would naturally guess
right. did not myself put the pretensions
of these professors of the black art to the test,
being satisfied, as 7 said, with the demonstra-
tons forced upon NE in the street.
Jugslery, in all its various forms, dcvclopes
itsclfas the natural born offspring of such par
entaee. Among innumerable feats of the Jug
gler here. he allows himself 10 be searched
from head to foot, and then submits to be
bound up in a sack, which has been searched,
and from which he very complacently makes
his exit. holding in one hand a lighted can
die, and in the other Il plate Of swectmcats,
Of which the spectators partakc, and in return
for which they are expected to throw him
some coppcri.

that look back; others have eyes for to-day;
the prudent and wise see what is before them

the latter number-the select fraternity of coin-
mon sense men and women-you have already
begun to provide for the Winter Should you
have delayed, begin at once. Look out for

EDITING A PAPER.

It is a somewhat curious fact that vast
number of men who are utterly incapable of
managing their own business or any other,
still think that they perfectly understand that
of an editors, and regard themselves as under
a special mission to give the latter the benefit
of their views on all occasions. 1t is singular,
but there are very many who really seem to
sincerely believe that writing comes by nature
that the editor is without this endowment,
and that they ought in Christian charity to
help him out. Could some of these self-elect
ed censors be put into harness for while and
realize what it means to be mental engine
under a perpetual press of intellectual steam,
they would possibly change their views of the
ease with which they would knock off little
article.
People who think that editing paper is a
pleasanter diversion than digging cellars by
moonlight, or Juggling bricks up four story
building in hot July's sun, may profit by the
following sensible remarks from the editor OF
the Bedford (Vermont) Gazette:
at is not so easy task to write for news
paper as people suppose. A man may be a
good scholar, profound thinker, viglant
observer of passing events, without being able
to write for newspaper. The power Of wri-
ting leading article for newspaper is tact
which few possess, and which we have known
many, with all their learning and diligence,
unable to acquire. 1t requires large amount
of information on various subjects, and rca-
dincss of application that must never be at
fault, or the writer will fail For remember,
the editor is always writing against time, and
the inexorable printer must have his copy, and
that there is no time to revise and amend but
as slip after slip is written, the devil snatches
it away, and one halfis usually set up in print
before the other half is written This exac,a
a decision of thought and faculty Of writing,
which, like poetry, seems rather gift Of ma
ture than an acquired faculty. y."-PhilohIph"

SnAE>rEARE.
Hon. i. NJ. KrIrT, Orangcburg, ). {.
Sir: The maintenance of the cause of truth
and Righteousness frequently imposes on men
unpleasant duties. The application Of this
fact to the case before me, | will now state
In common with thousands Of delighted cit
liens, l had the pleasure of listening 10 the
addresses delivered at the complimentary dim
ncr riven recently in this village to COL Orr,
the worthy representative of this Congresslon-
al District. When, that day, | took the posi-
ton of hearing, nothing could have been fur
thcr from my mind than the duty which now
devolvcs upon mc-that of calling your atten-
ton and that of the public, to certain state
mentS made in your speech. Had yo'. conhn-
Ell yourself to politics proper; OF as an cpl
sode. had YOU been content with the humane
act Of intcrring dccently the remains OF the
supposed defunct know nothing organization,
YOU never should have heard from me- With
matters of that sort have nothing to do. In
the language, however, OF the 'deathleSs
Shakespeare and quote from him as COM
plimcnt 10 yourself and Your honored COM
peers, for noticed that. several Of you drew
LARGELY from his rich treasurcs-in his lam
guage, | say, We "neaped your dust on quick
and dead" In other words, your statements
respecting the Presbyterian and the Episcopal
churches, as regarded their alledged connec-
ton with abolitionism, although wholly with
out intention on your part to do them injustice
OF injury, consigned their now strong and COM
pact organizations to speedy dissolution, If
not an infamous grave.
You will not understand me to deny either
the right or the propriety of referring public
" to the Church, in any of its aspects, condi-
tions or bearings, even in political speeches.
II was YOUR right. The church also plants her
self boldly before the world, and invites-nay
cb,llcuoes investigation of her character, her
condition aud her works What [ regret is
that YOU had not informed yourself more full
" Of the facts in relation to the churches OF
which YOU spoke And what cotssPialn OF is,
that YOUR staments, uncorrected, place those
churches in false light before the world,
and thus do them great injustice and injury.
In support of your argument III favor OF Il
Sonthcra organization, you pronounced the
whole mass of the population north OF the sIa-
very limits, with the rarest exceptions "thor-
ouGhy' aud hopelcssly oJo'tio"i:ed." stated
that their conversation, their teachings, their
books, and their nursery lullabies, were all
deeply imbued with those execrablc sentiments
that, in consequence of this state of things,
division had taken place, years ago, in the Me-
thodist and Baptist churehes-that the Presby-
teriau and the Episcopal churches were in
state Of deep agitation, were indeed on the
